Are jobs really that hard to find in El Paso?
By Joe Olvera , 2013
According to University Medical Cen-
ter CEO Jim Valenti, the hospital is doing every-
thing it can to create new jobs. What with the
new Childrens Hospital bringing in droves of
new doctors and medical staff, pediatric special-
ists and other people who are dedicated to mak-
ing El Paso a thriving source for caring for
childrens health care needs, are finding jobs in
the Sun City. But, one wonders. Isnt it a Catch-
22 situation in which more jobs are being cre-
ated, yes, but, at the expense of increasing taxes
and making El Pasoans pay even more for those
jobs that are created?
To look at the Internet, El Paso must be
booming with new jobs. Just look at all the dif-
ferent sites that claim to have the perfect job for
you. Monster has beaucoup job openings, as does
Craigs list, the Texas Workforce Solutions, Wic,
and others. If thats the case, however, then why
does the city have a 9.1 unemployment rate, a
rate that keeps steadily climbing. For awhile,
there, El Paso went as low as having 8.7 percent
of people looking for jobs. But, alas, these were
seasonal jobs and as soon as the Christmas sea-
son was over, so were those jobs.
El Paso trails the State of Texas, which lords it
over the city with a mere 7.1 percent unemploy-
ment rate. While El Paso has a high unemploy-
ment rate, its not higher than McAllens 11
percent, which is the highest in the state. To El
Pasos shame, the city of Midland hovers over a
3.2 percent rate. However, El Paso has gone
down from January, when it recorded a rate of
9.5, down to the present 9.1. Since November,
different sources say that they have added
200,000 new jobs. But, one must wonder, where
are those jobs.
One person who didnt want to be
named, said she thinks that people are not really
looking for work, but only pretending to. People
are getting food stamps, free rent in some cases,
free medical care through Medicaid, free this,
free that, said the source. So, why should these
people look for work? They dont need to work
because the government will provide for them.
Me, Ive been searching for a job so that I can get
off the public dole. But, no matter how hard I
look, or how many applications, I submit, I
havent had any luck. Maybe I should just relax
and enjoy being cared for by my government.
El Paso, which once had a thriving
clothing manufacturing industry, such as Farah,
Mann Mfg., and others; El Paso which once had
a thriving copper refining industry, and El Paso
which once had other thriving industries and
businesses, must now rely on small businesses to
pick up the slack. Even Fort Bliss, which offered
a promising future, now faces a doubtful future.
Because of sequestration, the Army base now
faces a very real problem in having to furlough
thousands of its civilian employees. In essence,
they would earn less pay, which means that busi-
nesses would suffer from that loss of income. De-
spite the citys high unemployment rate, El Paso
continues to thrive. A recent bond election will
soon provide new amenities to keep the populace
entertained, and the hope is always there that
through efforts by the University Medical Center,
the Texas Tech Medical School, and other El
Paso institutions, the city will continue to grow
and to prosper. Eventually, the unemployment
rate will come crashing down in a way that
should provide jobs for them that wants them.

Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso
Announces Research/Biomedical
Sciences Interim Associate Dean
Rajkumar Laksh-
manaswamy, Ph.D., associate pro-
fessor of biomedical sciences at the
Texas Tech University Health Sci-
ences Center (TTUHSC) at El Paso,
has been named interim associate
dean for Research, interim associate
dean for the Graduate School of Bio-
medical Sciences and interim chair
for the Department of Biomedical
Sciences.
Lakshmanaswamy succeeds outgo-
ing associate dean Charles C. Miller
III, Ph.D.
Dr. Lakshmanaswamy is a long-
serving basic science researcher at
TTUHSC, who has been an integral
part of the development of the re-
search programs here over the past
nine years, Miller said. He under-
stands the research priorities of the
school and will provide excellent
continuity of leadership as the re-
search program moves into its next
phase.
Lakshmanaswamy joined TTUHSC
at El Paso as an assistant professor
in 2004 after being recruited from
the University of California in
Berkeley, Calif., where he was a
specialist and research endocrinolo-
gist in the Department of Molecular
Cell Biology. Lakshmanaswamy has
served as basic science research di-
rector since 2009. One of Laksh-
manaswamys major research
interests is addressing the most
prevalent cancers affecting the His-
panic population. His breast cancer
research has earned him funding
from different agencies.
Miller is returning to his hometown
of Houston to assume a leadership
role as associate dean for Health
Services Research and Healthcare
Quality at the University of Texas
Health Sciences Center at Houston.
He will retain an adjunct professor
appointment at TTUHSC at El Paso
and continue working with the cam-
pus through a partnership with the
UT-Houston Center for Clinical and
Translational Sciences.
Dr. Miller was recruited from the
University of Texas Medical School
in Houston in 2009 to build a strong
research base for the TTUHSC at El
Paso campus, and he exceeded all
expectations, said Jose Manuel de
la Rosa, M.D., vice president for
health affairs and founding dean of
the Paul L. Foster School of Medi-
cine. We thank him for his dedica-
tion to our mission and look forward
to working with him in his new
role.

El Paso, TX, March 29, 2013 El Pasoans Fighting
Hunger Food Bank needs the community to help win
$45,000 to be applied toward alleviating child hunger
in El Paso. This contest is run by the Walmart Fight-
ing Hunger Together competition. During the entire
month of April, the food bank is asking that El Pa-
soans visit facebook.com/walmart, click on the Fight-
ing Hunger Together tab, and find El Pasoans
Fighting Hunger to vote. Facebook.com users may
vote once per day.
Approximately 200 Food Banks across the country
are competing for 40 prizes of $45,000 to fund pro-
grams specifically to alleviate child hunger. A dona-
tion of this size would make a significant impact in
the lives of thousands of El Paso children.
The unfortunate truth is that more than 1 in 4 people
in El Paso County are food-insecure with over
135,000 of those being children. The Agriculture De-
partment defines food insecurity as lacking consis-
tent access to enough nutritious food for an active,
healthy lifestyle. Any degree of food insecurity can
lead to chronic hunger and malnutrition.
While the problem of hunger is not easily visible,
hunger and malnutrition are prominent in our com-
munity, and have significant consequences.
Inadequately nourished children are apt to have de-
velopmental and learning problems as well as more
likely to be susceptible to sickness, John Schwart-
ing, Executive Director for El Pasoans Fighting
Hunger.
The Walmart Foundation is a major partner in allevi-
ating hunger in El Paso. Since April of 2012, Walmart
has committed $200,000 of funding to El Pasoans
Fighting Hunger. Help El Pasoans Fighting Hunger to
continue to receive the generous support of the Wal-
mart Foundation by voting every day during
the month of April.
For more information concerning the Food Bank and
how you can help, visit
www.elpasoansfightinghunger.org or
call 915-298-0353.

EVERY DAY
IN APRIL
April is Child Abuse
Prevention Month
Advertising campaign aims to
stop child abuse before it
happens
More than 200 children died at the hands of their parents or
caregivers, and more than 64,000 children were abused or neg-
lected in Texas last year. We can all reduce the terrible toll of
child abuse by listening to children and learning the signs of
child abuse.
Child abuse and neglect destroys families, scars children, and
undermines communities. That's why the Texas Department of
Family and Protective Services (DFPS) teams with local gov-
ernments and groups every April to call attention to how to pre-
vent, recognize, and report child abuse.
In El Paso, the following events have been scheduled to help
raise public awareness:
April 6th - Saturday
5th Annual Family Fun Fair
9 a.m. - 1 p.m. at Ascarate Park, 6900 Delta Dr.
A proactive approach to child abuse prevention, the Family Fun
Fair focuses on strengthening families and our community.
CONTACT: Luis Zamarripa, CPS External Relations
(915) 521-3704
April 10th - Wednesday
Go Blue Day Rally
9 a.m. at CPS downtown office, 119 N. Stanton
(corner of Texas and Stanton)
Join the grassroots effort of raising awareness and support of
prevention efforts by passing out blue ribbons, child abuse pre-
vention information and marching to the County Courthouse.
CONTACT: Luis Zamarripa, CPS External Relations
(915) 521-3704
See a list of child abuse prevention events on the Events Page
of HelpandHope.org.
When parents hurt, kids get hurt
When parents get help, there's hope for kids!
Stopping abuse after the fact is important - but it's not enough.
We need to stop it before it starts! That's what the Help for
Parents, Hope for Kids campaign is all about.
Thanks to a federal grant, DFPS is spending $1,000,000 on the
campaign from now through the end of the summer. TV ads in
English and Spanish are running on stations in all Texas media
markets during Child Abuse Prevention Month. The TV spots
are also showing on the DFPS You Tube Channel, the cam-
paign website, and as online ads. Continues on page 10
TORNADO ALLEY STORMS INTO
TOMBAUGH GIANT SCREEN THEATER
ALAMOGORDO, NM - Tor-
nado season is fast approaching
in the region of Americas
heartland known as the severe
weather capital of the world
and on April 6, 2012, Tornado
Alley, an explosive new film
narrated by Bill Paxton
(Twister, Titanic), will bring na-
tures most dramatic weather
phenomena to the Clyde W.
Tombaugh Giant Screen The-
ater on the campus of the New
Mexico Museum of Space His-
tory.
Widely considered the most ea-
gerly awaited IMAX release of
the decade, Tornado Alley fol-
lows daring large-format film-
maker Sean Casey (star of the
Discovery Channel's wildly
popular Storm Chasers series)
and the researchers of the VOR-
TEX2 initiative on a thrilling
quest to witness the birth of a
tornado from its very heart.
Armed with an IMAX cam-
era, a fleet of customized vehi-
cles designed to withstand gale
force winds, torrential rains and
unrelenting hail, and an arsenal
of the most advanced weather
measurement instruments ever
created, Casey and the VOR-
TEX2 scientists take audiences
on a heart-pounding mission to
experience a tornado's destruc-
tive power while gathering the
most comprehensive extreme
weather data ever collected.
Carrying a ninety-two-pound
IMAX camera, director
Casey and his crew race after
storms in TIV-2, a seven-ton ar-
mored tornado intercept vehi-
cle engineered and built by
Casey to help him capture what
he considers a cinematic holy
grail, a shot of a tornado from
point-blank range. Tornado
Alley is the culmination of
Caseys efforts and will give
audiences the chance to ride
alongand to experience a vi-
sual powerhouse of never-be-
fore-captured tornado footage
on the giant screen.
Tornadoes are surreal,
unimaginable, Casey says. I
want to witness something that
I am truly in awe of. My dream
has always been to get footage
thats as powerful as the subject
matter. Theres a huge differ-
ence between filming a tornado
from a couple miles away with
a telephoto lens, and filming a
tornado thats on top of you
with a wide-angle lens. Im
thrilled to finally share these in-
credible experiences with audi-
ences everywhere.
Tornado Alley is also a heart-
pounding science adventure,
following leading researchers
Joshua Wurman, Karen Kosiba
and Don Burgess, along with
the scientists of VORTEX2, on
their quest to penetrate a tor-
nados inner workings. The
most ambitious scientific mis-
sion of its kind, VORTEX2 was
comprised of over a hundred
severe-weather researchers
from all over the world and
their fleet of radar trucks, mo-
bile mesonet vehicles and the
most sophisticated weather-
measuring instruments ever
createdused to literally sur-
round tornadoes and the super-
cell storms that form them.
Their ultimate goal: to better
predict where and when torna-
does will strike, and to provide
warnings that give those at risk
a few more minutes to protect
themselves and their families.
Tornado Alley is a production
of Giant Screen Films and
Graphic Films. Major funding
was provided by the National
Science Foundation with addi-
tional support from the Giant
Dome Theater Consortium. The
film is distributed by Giant
Screen Films of Evanston, IL.

A squall line approaches in central Kansas, with a barn and farm equipment in the
foreground. The deadliest tornado in American history was invisible. In 1925, the Tri-
State Tornado ravaged a mile-wide path for 220 miles across Missouri, Illinois, and
Indiana at 60 to 70 mphtwice the forward speed of the average tornado. It lacked
the classic funnel cloud, but the damage was catastrophic: nearly 2,000 people were
injured, property losses totaled more than $16 million, and over 700 people died. This
event also holds the known record for most tornado fatalities in a single city or town:
at least 234 in Murphysboro, Illinois.
Sean Caseys Tornado Intercept Vehicle (TIV), an ar-
moured truck designed to capture data and footage
for Tornado Alley. Casey designed the vehicle himself.
In 2002, Casey sketched out a design (which, he said,
looked remarkably similar to the spaceships I drew
when I was twelve), taught himself how to weld, and,
that summer, work on the original tornado intercept
vehicle began.
A dark ominous cloud
hovers over a red barn
in rural Kansas. About
1,000 tornadoes hit the
United States every year.
Most of these touch
down in Americas
Plains states, an area
known as Tornado Alley,
which is generally con-
sidered to be Oklahoma,
Kansas, the Texas Pan-
handle, Nebraska, east-
ern South Dakota, and
eastern Colorado. Torna-
does, however, can
occur almost anywhere
in the United States, in-
cluding west of the
Rockies and east of the
Appalachians.

This past March will go down as a month with moderate
winds along with two cold periods and two warm periods.
We had a total of 12 windy days (March is the second
windiest month of the year). The days are considered
windy when we hit wind gusts of 30 mph or more across
the El Paso area. The windiest day we had was March
4th when wind gusts hit 59 miles per hour.
There were a total of three days where the wind caused
blowing dust and sand and reduced visibility across town.
Our warm periods came between March 12th and
March 19th when put together a string of upper 70s and
80s. We recorded two record setting days when we hit
85 on March 15th (Friday) and then again on March 16th
(Saturday).
Our second warm period came at the end of the month
when we reached temperatures in the 80s ending the
month on Easter Sunday with 84 degrees.
When it comes to cooler temperatures for the month, we
only had two short periods of below normal reading. Our
first cold snap hit March 9th through the 11th when we
witnessed temperatures dropping down to the mid 50s for
highs. The second cold period nipped us for only two
days - March 24th and 25th when our high temps hit 61
both days.

The online ad campaign runs from mid-March
through the end of August. This advertising buy
specifically targets young parents and especially
young mothers.
The Help and Hope campaign also has its own
Facebook page called 4MyKid that shares fun
and helpful ideas and resources for families.
And, DFPS distributed more than 500,000
copies of the 2013 Child Abuse Prevention
Calendar that parents can still download from
HelpandHope.org.
The ultimate goal of the Help and Hope cam-
paign is to help Texas parents find the help and
information they need in their communities to
head off child abuse before it happens.
"I heard hundreds of child abuse cases when I
was a district judge in San Antonio," said DFPS
Commissioner John Specia. "Many of the par-
ents who came through my courtroom were
young, poor, and stressed. If we can get parents
the support they need up-front, fewer will end
up in court needing the help of Child Protective
Services."
While prevention is best, always report child
abuse or neglect. Don't count on someone else
to do something. Report your suspicions to the
Texas Abuse and Neglect Hotline at
1-800-252-5400 or online at
TxAbuseHotline.org.

Major General Pittard announces Defense
Departments largest solar project
A watershed moment for the American military as Fort Bliss will begin work on the
largest renewable energy project in American military history
FORT BLISS, Texas -- On Friday, April
5th at 9:30 am, Major General Dana
Pittard, commander of Fort Bliss and
the First Armored Division, will host a
press conference at the 1AD Division
Headquarters to announce the largest
renewable energy project in the history
of the U.S. military.
This week, the United States Army
Corps of Engineers authorized El Paso
Electric to start work on a 20-megawatt
solar farm on Fort Bliss, which will
power all of the Division headquarters
and most of East Fort Bliss.
This authorization, and the contracted
partnership between Fort Bliss and El
Paso Electric, represents not
only the birth of the Army's largest re-
newable energy project at any installa-
tion to date but also the first time the
American military has partnered with a
major local utility on a renewable en-
ergy project of this scale.
This action demonstrates major
progress for the Fort Bliss' environ-
mental campaign plan and is a signifi-
cant milestone in defining and
developing a model solar project at an
installation, working closely with a
major utility and utilizing private sec-
tor financing.
The power generated by the proposed
solar array will be critical to reducing
Fort Bliss' carbon footprint, as well
contributing to the Army's stated en-
ergy conservation and security goals of
using 25% renewable energy by 2025.
Fort Bliss is excited to be leading the
American military in renewable en-
ergy, reducing our carbon footprint,
and making our installation energy se-
cure.
With this project, Fort Bliss is on its
way to becoming Net Zero, meaning
that the installation will create all the
energy it uses. This requires a combi-
nation of solar, wind, and geothermal
power, using water in the most efficient
manner, turning our waste to energy,
and putting nothing into a landfill.
Miguel Velez-Reyes, Ph.D., professor and
chair of the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering at The University of
Texas at El Paso, is working with Spectral MD
to help develop new, non-invasive technology
to see deep within the human skin to assess
tissue health and provide earlier detection of
bed sores, damage from burns, infections and
cancer.
Velez-Reyes, a nationally recognized expert in
remote sensing, is developing algorithms for
the company to use within the technology
known as a DeepView imaging system, which
works like a video camera and is able to per-
ceive what the trained eye cannot.
Were developing algorithms to automate the
process of analyzing the videos, so that physi-
cians can have a product to assist in diagnos-
tics, Velez-Reyes said.
The imaging system collects information
about blood flow beneath the skin a critical
indicator of tissue health and healing.
Early identification of compromised blood
flow and related wounds is limited because
these pathological mechanisms, in many
cases, develop deep beneath the skin where
they are hidden. As a result, clinicians are un-
able to adequately detect early signs of dis-
ease, or if patients are responding well to
treatment.
DeepView imaging technology is expected to
work quickly and cost-efficiently within hos-
pitals, nursing homes and private practice of-
fices without the use of harmful radiation.
Our algorithms will be able to take the video
data and identify regions of interest, which
will certainly have a great impact in diagno-
sis, Velez-Reyes said.
Electrical and computer engineering doctoral
student Mohammed Alkhatib is also working
on the project.
Tell Me a Story
FORT BLISS, Texas Team Bliss and officials
from Soldier Outreach Services will conduct a
"Tell Me a Story" event sponsor by the Military

Don't say no to adding a dress to
your shopping list this spring. It's an
easy solution for what to wear
anywhere. The one-piece dress is a
no-brainer for work or play, and it's a
great travel companion. From floaty
and flirty pastels to bold and graphic
modern prints, the dress is a per-
sonality piece sure to please even
the most discriminating fashionista!
Choose from these key dresses for
success shapes this spring and
summer:
The A-line dress
The sheath dress has been "the"
last word in dress fashion for the
past few years. After all, it's been a
classic for decades most recently
reintroduced to a new generation of
style-savvy women a la First Lady
Michelle Obama.
But the newest classic has more fit
and flare. The focus is on the waist
whether it's belted or banded.
And unless you're a Kim Kardashian
(who is expecting), you should go for
a "figure-skimming" not "figure-hug-
ging" dress style. Look for pleated
accordion-style dresses for more
dresses that don't cling, but swing.
The Printed dress
Another one of the season's fa-
vorites The patterned prints are
exploding. But don't expect to see
any shrinking violets here the
dresses that you'll want to wear this
year make a bold statement. Think
large colorblocks, washed watercol-
ors, oversized stripes, tropical flow-
ers, harlequin checks. The bigger
the better. A word of caution to
keep prints from becoming over-
whelming, stick to dark background
and one pattern per outfit.
The Lace dress
In a season of special occasions
graduations, weddings, proms the
all-over lace dress may be the per-
fect way to break out of the winter
doldrums. Lighten up with this femi-
nine fabric interpreted in a myriad of
ways and colors. A white lace
frock may say "bridal," but in sugary
candy-colored pastels, it's a winner;
in black, it's a cocktail stunner.
The Sheer Dress -
Spring and summer is the perfect
time to go sheer no, not totally, of
course, but designers take care of
that, too, this season. By layering
sheer fabrics on top of sheer or
other opaque fabrics, the effect is ro-
mantic and provides endless op-
tions. These ethereal dresses are
the perfect backdrop to lightweight
cardigans and coats or jackets.
The Ruffled
Dress One of the season's
trendiest details, the ruffle is show-
ing up on sleeves, cuffs, necklines
and waistlines. Flirty and flouncy,
ruffles are a real way to fluff up your
spring wardrobe. Don't be afraid to
get a little ruffled! In soft silks, chif-
fons and jersey knits, these ruffles
are meant to rise to any occasion.
Dresses that go
to all lengths
Choices of hemlines abound this
year with dresses from short to long
and anywhere in-between. Choose a
python mini for a night on the town
or a long floral caftan for a poolside
patio party. And the newest way to
show off your legs in a dress? Cover
them up! The midi-length is back.
Your knees never had it so good!

Freecycling to Keep Usable Things Out of The Waste Stream
sustainaBlE living By shawn dEll JoyCE
Freecycling to Keep Usable Things Out of The Waste Stream
Each one of us produces 1.2 tons of garbage per year, which is
mainly bagged household trash. What's not included in that figure
are all the perfectly usable goods that get thrown out each year
such as old furniture, clothes, books, obsolete technology and
working appliances.
Many of these
items are yard
sale fodder or
can be
found
parked by the curb with a "free" sign attached. If you can't find
what you need through curb shopping or the classifieds, try web-
sites like Craigslist and Freecycle. You can pretty much search any
category from ab workout machines to xylophones and find
what you need. For cash-strapped families or people who just wish
to avoid adding to the consumerist culture, buying secondhand is
the way to go.
The good news is that it creates a larger economic impact in your
local community when you buy something used from a neighbor
than new from a big box store. In addition to filling your home
with beautiful, new-to-you furniture, it helps reduce the
solid waste stream flowing into our landfills. It takes
a lot of energy and resources to produce new
consumer goods each year. By reusing items,
we extend the lifecycle of that good and re-
duce the environmental impact of our pur-
chase.
In my circle of friends, we frequently
exchange garbage bags full of used
clothing. We often have parties centered
on trading clothes or hand-made things.
Some of these parties have been open to
the public and leftover clothes were do-
nated to families of migrant workers.
There are a few stores that cater to a
reusing crowd; Goodwill and Salvation
Army stores are great for clothing and
housewares. Plus many vintage clothes
boutiques sell haute couture used clothing.
Habitat for Humanity runs its own Restore
outlets across the country for reusable
building materials. Many municipalities
have nonprofit programs to reduce solid
waste and retail directly to schools,
homeowners and businesses.
A paradigm is a collection of assump-
tions, concepts, believes and values
that together make up a community's
way of viewing reality. Our current
paradigm dictates that more stuff
is better, that infinite eco-
nomic growth is desirable
and possible and that pol-
lution is the price of
progress. To really
turn things around,
we need to nurture a
different paradigm based
on the values of sustain-
ability, justice, health and
community.
My Irish ancestors had a philoso-
phy of "make do with less" and
"want what you have." This para-
digm shapes a resilient culture that
thrives on minimal goods and builds
community rather than personal wealth. Many of our grandparents
survived the Great Depression and learned to live simply. Hope-
fully, we don't have to suffer through that deep of an economic
drop before we adopt voluntary simplicity.

So, how are those summer vacation plans coming?
If things aren't looking so good for you to get away from home
this year, it's probably not because you don't have the time. Ac-
cording to a survey by Harris Interactive Inc., the American
worker left an average of 9.2 days of vacation unused in 2012.
That's up from 6.2 unused days in 2011.
More likely, you keep pushing a vacation to the back burner be-
cause you just don't have the money. After all, a vacation can be
very expensive. These days, you'll spend a small fortune for a
family trip to Disney World plus airfare if you don't happen to
live in Orlando, Fla.
Of course, there are any number of ways to cut the cost of a va-
cation, but could you get that cost down as low as $150 per
adult? You just might be able to pull it off if you change your ex-
pectations a bit and adopt a new kind of vacation attitude.
Volunteer vacations are not new, but they've received more atten-
tion since Americans are no longer flushed with a lot of discre-
tionary income.
For the cost of getting there, and a reasonable amount to cover
the cost of your food like $150 to $300 for a week you
throw your sleeping bag in the car, drive to a nearby park, and
for as little as $150, spend a week in the wilderness rebuilding
trails with other nature-lovers.
Don't know where to look? Go to VolunteerMatch.org, which has
an impressive database of opportunities and groups that have
been vetted to make sure they comply with U.S. tax and charity
laws.

Epigenetics: Above All, You're in Charge of Your Well-being
James Watson went
to my high school hail to the
Tars of South Shore High so
perhaps that helps explain my
longtime interest in the science
of genetics and DNA and the
twisted role it plays or doesn't
play in our own health and
well-being.
And just now coming, some-
thing new and startling in the
world of 21st-century genetics:
the evolving science of epige-
netics. Time magazine did a
seminal cover story on it back
in 2010, declaring it as the next
step, the new frontier, the cut-
ting edge of science.
Epigenetics is the science of
changing the way your genes
express themselves as, for in-
stance, disease or here's the
exciting part reversal of dis-
ease.
"Basically, epigenetics demon-
strates how environment and
behavioral choices can influ-
ence our genetic code," writes
Dr. Theri Griego Raby in her
latest Raby Institute for Inte-
grative Medicine newsletter,
the one with a recipe for Paleo
pumpkin muffins with coconut
flour.
Dr. Raby is a well-regarded pi-
oneer and practitioner of mind-
body medicine in Chicago. I've
known her for years, and when
I saw the headline of her latest
email commentary "Epige-
netics ... The True Preventative
Medicine" I clicked right
through.
Contrary to what many of us
learned in school, "genes are
not fixed predetermined blue-
prints passed from generation
to generation," Dr. Raby writes,
based on the latest epigenetic
research. "Instead, our genome
contains at least 4 million
'switches' that can be turned on
and off by life experiences and
environmental influences."
Life experiences! Environmen-
tal influences! Scientists who
study heredity now have evi-
dence that lifestyle alone
your choice to smoke, the qual-
ity of your food, how you deal
with stress can alter the epi-
genetic markers that sit above
your DNA and pretty much
have all the say, not just for
your lifetime but affecting your
future generations. Let me put
it another way: Your bad be-
havior today can predispose
your kids and grandkids to dis-
ease and early death, even be-
fore they are conceived!
It's fascinating stuff.
So let's delve a bit deeper.
"Epi" is a prefix that means
"above." Epigenetics looks
above the double-helix 25,000-
chromosome genetic code
thank you, human genome
researchers and sees another
level of influence: the cellular
material that sits on top of the
genome and outside it. On top
and outside. Get a picture of it;
color it cosmic red, and let's
continue.
That "on top" and "outside"
cellular material is called the
epigenome. Scientists aren't
prepared to say how many
epigenome marks there are, but
the number is well into the mil-
lions. Your genes are your
genes, but these epigenetic
marks tell your genes to switch
on or switch off, to express
themselves loudly or to go
mute.
When your obesity gene ex-
presses itself loudly because,
let's say, you've spent so much
time in bed with bags of Dorito
chips, you're a candidate for
"The Biggest Loser." When you
manage to mute your colon
cancer gene by eating less red
meat and exercising more,
you're managing your
epigenome in a way that Dr.
Raby would applaud.
Fictional
Feelings
Doom is a palindrome for
mood, the former perhaps de-
scribing the latter, at least in
terms of books. An unusual
study, published in the journal
PLOS ONE, reports that words
about emotions have almost
universally decreased in fre-
quency in English-language
books over the last century.
The one exception: fear.
Researchers at the University
of Sheffield did an analysis of
five million 20th-century digi-
tized books (provided by
Google), looking for emotion-
ally evocative words associ-
ated with six basic categories:
anger, disgust, fear, joy, sad-
ness and surprise.
"We were initially surprised to
see how well periods of posi-
tive and negative moods corre-
lated with historical events,"
said co-author Vasileios Lam-
pos. "The Second World War,
for example, is marked by a
distinct increase of words re-
lated to sadness and a corre-
spondent decrease of words
related to joy."
There were broader findings,
as well.
One, the emotional content of
published English has been
steadily decreasing overall for
more than a century, with the
exception of words associated
with fear. And two, American
English and British English
have notably diverged. In par-
ticular, American English has
become decidedly more "emo-
tional" than British English in
the last half-century.
Do these findings say anything
about our actual well-being?
Not necessarily.
"A remaining question is
whether word usage repre-
sents real behavior in a popu-
lation, or possibly an absence
of that behavior which is in-
creasingly played out via liter-
ary fiction," the authors write.
"Books may not reflect the real
population any more than cat-
walk models reflect the aver-
age body."
The new moon in Aries will breathe
green spring air into the cosmic
lungs. Life-giving oxygen will inspire
immediate action on fresh endeavors,
and the rest of the planets enthusiasti-
cally agree. With the sun, Venus, Mars
and Uranus all in the sign of the war-
rior spirit, there's a sense of good tri-
umphing over evil. It's important to
remember that this is usually an inter-
nal battle. Use the new moon energy
to squash the selfishness within.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have
a kind of magic power tingling in your
fingertips this week. You might use
your wizardry to make someone fall in
love with you. Check your heart to be
sure this is what you really want,
though, because the spell you cast
might be stronger than anticipated. A
good rule of thumb: Compassion be-
fore passion.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your polit-
ical prowess will be tested. Power is
yours to gain or lose. Gain it by ex-
pressing yourself. Lose it the same
way. Discretion and discernment are
the keys to success. Know what's ap-
propriate and what others want before
you speak out. You may not do what
they want, but make your choice con-
sciously.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You put
people at ease by being the one to
reach out first. This is a sort of gift you
give, and it does come at an expense
to you: You risk being rejected. But
you've made the first move enough
times to know that chances are you
won't be. You'll be received in a rush of
relief, and you'll promote unity wher-
ever you go.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It might
amaze you that people often cannot
see their own best qualities. They
have lived so long inside of them that
they forget what they are. That's why
when you point out people's strengths,
you do them a great service. It's just
part of your natural interaction in the
world, though you could get paid for it
this week.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You've won-
dered at times about your guardian
angel and have tried to envision the
face of this kind, protective force.
However you want to personify this
force of goodness is up to you. You
may change the way you think about
your angel, but that won't change the
way this constant source of loving en-
ergy considers you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your work
ethic isn't strong because you're trying
to impress someone or because you
have to prove your worth. The bottom
line is that you work hard because you
want the chance to develop your skills
and build a stronger inventory of
achievements.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You might
think you need help, but what you re-
ally need is motivation. There are
many things that could provide it: a
deadline, an undesirable conse-
quence or a potential result that is so
powerful that it lifts and draws you in
like a high-powered super-magnet.
Everything kicks in on Wednesday.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). An old
television commercial suggested,
"Never let them see you sweat." Un-
fortunately, that's not always possible.
You pay your dues through exertion,
and the exertion makes you sweat,
until the day comes that you are con-
ditioned enough that it doesn't. This
week they will see you sweat but
next week, maybe not!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
When things take too long, it's a turn-
off for you. It goes against your high-
energy spirit and makes you feel like
your time is being wasted and your
energy is blocked. Thursday brings an
exception to this rule in the form of
someone or something you're willing
to wait for, even if the waiting feels like
an eternity.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Course corrections may be necessary
this week, and this is the way of
movement any movement, really.
Walking, running, driving, flying
there is no perfect way to do it. You
are always responding to your envi-
ronment. You get where you're going
through a series of adjustments.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're
not so worried about what's expected
of you this week, because you are
very involved in getting to the result
you want. You are impervious to the
opinions that might sway others,
wisely noting that everyone comes
from their own experiences, and their
observations have little to do with you
personally.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Objectiv-
ity can be difficult in the most normal
of circumstances, and it will be even
harder to come by this week. What if
the thoughts and feelings you are hav-
ing belonged to a dear friend instead
of to you? What compassion would
you offer? Can you provide any new
solutions from this perspective? De-
tachment spawns wisdom.
THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: This
year features new blends of your tal-
ents and resources. The cross-pollina-
tion of two parts of your life will result
in a beautiful hybrid. You are the only
one who could have made this hap-
pen, and you'll be celebrated for what
this adds to other people's lives. Love
is a healer, an adventurer and a multi-
plier of good fortune. This month and
May bring more dollars to work with.
You'll be building in June. Learning a
new language will be necessary, and
you'll be opening up to the world in
July.

New Moon, New You
week 4/04 - 4/10
DEAR ABBY: My husband,
"Wade," and I went into a con-
venience store near our home
that we frequent regularly. A
new employee -- a pretty, much
younger girl -- stared at Wade
with an expression of recogni-
tion and surprise on her face.
When I asked him what that
was about, he laughed it off
and said I was "imagining
things."
The next time we
saw her, Wade acted nervous
and started talking fast, as if
trying to distract me. He
seemed to be avoiding eye con-
tact with her. She ignored me
while obviously trying to lock
eyes with Wade. The third time,
she again ignored me but
smirked and giggled while we
were checking out. Then she
shouted, "See ya later!" to my
husband as we were walking
out the door. When I turned, I
caught Wade glaring at her.
When I asked why he
did it, he replied, "I looked at
her like that because she was
acting like an idiot." When I
asked why she'd be acting like
an idiot if they didn't know
each other, he started scream-
ing at me. He called me crazy
and threatened to leave me if I
bring the subject up again.
Should I ask her why
she seems so amused by my
husband? And why is he angry
at me? -- SMELLS SOME-
THING FISHY
DEAR SMELLS: By all
means ask because I'll bet she
is dying to tell you. Your hus-
band may have been seeing her
or someone she knows. He at-
tacked you because he felt
guilty about something and
didn't want to discuss it.
It proves the truth of
the adage, "The best defense is
a strong offense." Believe me,
you have my sympathy, but
you need to get to the bottom
of this, so don't put it off.
**
DEAR ABBY: What do you
call additions to your family
that result from second or third
marriages? Our daughter died
several years ago. I refer to her
widower as my son-in-law, but
what term should I use when I
introduce his new wife? She
has two daughters from a previ-
ous marriage -- sweet girls who
call me "Granddad." Techni-
cally, they are not my grand-
daughters -- but what are they?
These are just two
examples of modern relation-
ships that seem to require a
new vocabulary. I have tried
searching the Internet for an-
swers without luck. Any sug-
gestions? -- FAMILY MAN IN
TEXAS
DEAR FAMILY MAN:
When introducing your late
daughter's husband and his
wife, try this: "This is my son-
in-law 'Sam' and his wife, 'Vir-
ginia.'" If you're asked for
clarification, which I doubt will
happen, give more details. As
to the woman's daughters who
are not blood related to you,
because they call you "Grand-
dad," refer to them as your
granddaughters and leave it at
that.
**
DEAR ABBY: Where does
the priest get the ashes for Ash
Wednesday? -- MARY IN
VISTA, CALIF.
DEAR MARY: Traditionally,
palm branches from the previ-
ous year's Palm Sunday are
burned to create the ashes, and
those ashes are retained for the
next year's Ash Wednesday.
Some people keep the palm
fronds from the last Palm Sun-
day tucked behind a cross or a
religious picture in their home
and bring them to be burned. I
have this on good authority.
(When I told a priest I would
have guessed they were left
over from the Inquisition, he
laughed.)

A More Peaceful Belfast Looks Back on Its Past
By Carl H. Larsen
The City Ceme-
tery was an unusual place to
begin an exploration of today's
Belfast, well onto its way of re-
covering from years of sectar-
ian violence. My guide was
former lord mayor of Belfast,
Tom Hartley, who beyond
being a longtime politician is a
first-class historian of this city
where class divisions have been
overshadowed by a huge
Catholic-Protestant divide.
A politician first and foremost,
Hartley continues to sit on the
Belfast City Council. His per-
spective is as a member of Sinn
Fein, the republican political
party seeking unity between the
six counties of Northern Ire-
land, part of the United King-
dom and the Republic of
Ireland to the south.
"I was born into a large work-
ing class northern Catholic
family from the Falls Road in
nationalist West Belfast," Hart-
ley told an audience last year. "I
grew up in a community bur-
dened by the political weight of
state repression ... and sub-
jected to the practice of struc-
tural discrimination in housing
and in the workplace."
During the "Troubles" a pe-
riod of terrorism by Irish Re-
publican Army partisans and
British Unionists the ceme-
tery in Hartley's Catholic Falls
Road community was off- lim-
its to Belfast Protestants whose
relatives were buried there. And
it was off-limits, as well, to
Hartley and his family. Their
Catholic upbringing ordained
that they would be buried in the
Catholic Milltown Cemetery.
That was then - this is now.
"Today, much has changed,"
Hartley said.
And that includes the City
Cemetery, where Hartley regu-
larly leads tours pointing out
the burial plots of the movers
and shakers of a city that once
was an industrial giant. Seen
beyond the headstones, the
city's Harland and Wolff ship-
yard, now greatly diminished,
once was the largest in the
world.
While shipbuilding has waned,
in many ways Belfast's ship has
come in after many years of
self-doubt and tit-for-tat terror-
ism.
Although isolated incidents still
occur, Belfast has largely put
behind 40 years of strife that
came to a close a decade ago. It
has a vibrant downtown with
trendy pubs and restaurants and
a strong music and theater
scene. Helping to temper atti-
tudes is an increasingly diverse
population.
Visitors now are taken on tours
of former neighborhood war
zones, divided by aging walls
that separated the two factions
and are covered with graffiti
themed with peace messages. A
rich legacy of murals adorns
the walls of houses in some
neighborhoods, remembering
martyrs of both sides in what
seemed to be an intractable
struggle.
British soldiers have long since
left the streets, leaving policing
to a local force. In finding a
new direction, Belfast has at-
tached its future to an unlikely
engine of change - the Titanic.
The city's connection to the ill-
fated ship taps into most neigh-
borhoods, for it was thousands
of workers here who built the
world's most famous liner.
Forgotten as an embarrassment
after it sank in April 1912 on its
maiden voyage, the Titanic now
has resurfaced in Belfast with
this line emblazoned on T-
shirts: "She was fine when she
left here."
Today the city's Titanic Quarter
on Queen's Island is one of Eu-
rope's...Continues on next page

largest redevelopment efforts,
all clustered around the slip-
ways where the Titanic and its
sister ships Olympic and Bri-
tannic were built. High-rise
apartment blocks, a high-tech
science park and a large film
studio now occupy land where
dingy, abandoned warehouses
once stood.
The focal point is Titanic
Belfast, a visitor attraction that
avoids calling itself a museum,
perhaps because the Titanic
story is never-ending. Opened
in 2012 on the 100th anniver-
sary of the ship's sinking, the
exhibition already has become
Northern Ireland's top visitor
attraction, drawing 650,000 vis-
itors in its first nine months.
Housed in a striking waterfront
building, it is a nine-gallery,
multimedia experience that un-
folds the full Titanic story and
Belfast's role in its creation.
"It's really quite phenomenal.
It's the biggest Titanic exhibit
in the world," said "Titanic"
film director James Cameron
when he opened an exhibit on
the film at Titanic Belfast last
summer. Oceanographer Robert
Ballard, who discovered the
wreck in 1985, is in partnership
with the Titanic center.
Outside, guided walking tours
are offered of the old Harland
and Wolff shipyard complex. At
anchor and being restored
nearby is the Nomadic, Ti-
tanic's "little sister," which was
built in Belfast to ferry passen-
gers to the big White Star Line
ships calling at Cherbourg,
France. Guide Susie Millar de-
livers a unique perspective
while leading tours to the city's
Titanic sites in a van. She's the
great-great-granddaughter of
Thomas Millar, an engineer
aboard the ship who perished.
Built a few years before the Ti-
tanic, Belfast's Edwardian-style
domed City Hall is the center
point of downtown. It's a good
place to begin an examination
of the city and its history. Free
tours are offered of the ornately
designed building and there is
an exhibit detailing the city's
development.
The Titanic story continues just
outside in Donegall Square,
where there are several memo-
rials related to the ship, includ-
ing a year-old garden dedicated
to victims of the disaster. The
only monument to record the
names of all the victims, it is a
stirring experience drawing
crowds and flowers left in re-
membrance of relatives.
Across from City Hall is the
Linen Hall Library, a great
place to check out exhibitions
related to Belfast's past and to
grab a quick snack. The library
celebrates its 225th anniversary
this year with a series of ex-
hibits and talks, many relating
to the city's history. The Linen
Hall procured the first printed
copy of the American Declara-
tion of Independence outside
the United States. It also has an
extensive collection of materi-
als relating to the Troubles.
The city's other sites include
Stormont, home to Northern
Ireland's parliament. It is set in
a beautiful park, but access is
limited to its Great Hall and
guided tours by special
arrangement. St. George's
Market, a Victorian architec-
tural confection, offers a va-
riety of vendors selling local
produce and bric-a-brac on
Fridays, Saturdays and Sun-
days. Check for hours.
Visiting Belfast requires a bit
of preparation. It's not a city
to parachute into without ex-
ploring beforehand a bit of
its history and how the Trou-
bles have evolved into
today's political environ-
ment.
"In reality, while there re-
mains a threat from dissident
republican terrorists and riot-
ing in a handful of flashpoint
areas is possible, Northern
Ireland has rapidly changed
for the better," commented a
Scottish journalist earlier this
year.
Hartley, the former lord
mayor, begins tours of
Belfast Cemetery this way:
"I remind visitors that they
can either like or dislike the
history they will be con-
fronted with. ... they can
agree or disagree with the
politics of those who lie
buried in the graves they
visit. But whatever they
think, be they Catholic or
Protestant, Unionist or Re-
publican, the history found
on the headstones ... is the
complex history of Belfast."
WHEN YOU GO
Belfast International Airport is
served by nonstop flights on
United Airlines from Newark.
There are ferry connections to
Scotland and England, and fre-
quent train service to Dublin,
capital of the Republic of Ire-
land, where there are more
flight connections to and from
the United States.
A broad selection of hotels is
available in the central city. I
stayed at the modern Hilton,
adjacent to the city's Waterfront
Hall entertainment venue, and
at the venerable Merchant
Hotel, housed in a former bank
and with a wing of brand-new
rooms. Other choices include
Premier Inn Belfast Titanic
Quarter, the Malmaison and the
Europa, called the world's most
bombed hotel during the Trou-
bles, a title now in its past.

Working Women Vs. Stay-at-Home Moms
Q: I am so upset by these crybaby women
who gripe and complain about not getting
enough money from their husband's Social
Security accounts. I am the one with an ax to
grind. I worked hard all my life. And I can't
get a nickel on my husband's Social Security
record. Yet all these stay-at-home women
rake in the dough from their sugar daddy hus-
bands and then they have the gall to complain
it's not enough money! What can possibly be
fair about that? Why can't I get any of my
husband's Social Security?
A: Mom? Is that you? Are you still turning
over in your grave because you just can't let
this go?
OK, so that wasn't my mother with a heaven-
sent albeit spite-filled message from the after-
life. But it was just another example of the
thousands of irate emails I've received over
the years from working women who are upset
that they oftentimes can't get any benefits
from their husband's Social Security record.
And then they find it doubly irritating that a
woman who didn't work outside the home
gets to collect full Social Security spousal
benefits from her husband or ex-husband's ac-
count.
I'm not an anthropologist. Nor am I a psychia-
trist. But I'm sure folks in those professions
would be able to find all kinds of underlying
causes for the resentment felt by so many
working women towards their gender coun-
terparts who, for whatever reason, spent their
lifetimes as full-time mothers and wives.
My mother went through the last 25 years of
her life carrying such a grudge. I'll share her
story, which I think will shed a little light on
this topic.
My parents came from the wrong side of the
economic tracks and spent their lives trying to
inch their way into the middle class. My dad
was a janitor. But that job simply didn't bring
enough money into our household. So my
mom always worked outside the home. She
spent much of her adult life doing clerical
work in a hospital. She took time off to have
four kids. But within a year of the birth of
each of those kids, she was always back to
work to help pay the rent and buy groceries.
There was little money left over for what
most people would consider the good things
in life.
But speaking of those good things, our neigh-
bors behind us across the alley were living the
American dream. (That alley was like the
proverbial "tracks." It divided the rich side of
town from the poor side.) In their household,
the husband and father was the vice president
of a local bank. They also had four kids
and his wife was a full-time stay-at-home
mom. She never had to work outside the
home because her husband's salary brought in
more than enough money to keep them living
in comfort. I, and my brothers and sisters, en-
joyed playing with the banker's kids. (They
had really nice toys and stuff!) But our par-
ents never mingled and never visited one an-
other. They simply ran in different economic
circles.
Long story short: Both the husbands eventu-
ally died. The banker's widow (she was over
65 at the time) started getting a rather sub-
stantial widow's benefit from Social Security.
But my mom got a very small monthly
widow's check from my dad's account. And
that's because she was getting her own Social
Security retirement benefit, and that benefit
offset her widow's payments dollar for dol-
lar.
Because of their respective economic circum-
stances, the banker's widow received a signif-
icantly higher monthly Social Security benefit
than the combined payments my mom was
getting. And this simply irritated my mother
to no end. By this time, I was working for the
Social Security Administration, and if she
asked me this once, she asked this a thousand
times: "Why is THAT WOMAN across the
alley, a woman who never worked a day in
her life, getting more money than I am a
woman who has spent 40 years working at a
job and at home?"
I tried to explain to my mom that it all had to
do with two of the basic concepts of Social
Security. The first essentially says this: The
more you pay into the system, the more you
get out. And the second has to do with the
reason behind spousal benefits those bene-
fits were always intended to be paid to
women who were "dependent" on their hus-
band's income.
The banker's wife was just that: a "depen-
dent." She depended on her husband's salary
while he was alive. So once he died, she was
dependent on his Social Security.
My mom, on the other hand, had her own job
and her own income. And because of that job,
she received her own pension from the hospi-
tal where she worked and her own Social Se-
curity retirement benefit once she retired.
Because my dad's Social Security benefit was
slightly higher than my mom's retirement
check, she did get a small widow's supple-
ment from Social Security.
But my mom never bought that argument. She
would say: "Your dad worked all his life, and
I should be getting his Social Security now
that he's gone." In other words, she wanted
her own full retirement benefit and a full
widow's benefit from my dad's account. To
this day, many working women send me
emails making the same points my mom did
25 years ago.
I tried to explain to my mom, and I still try to
explain to those sending me emails today, that
if the law allowed them to get both a retire-
ment benefit and a dependent spousal benefit,
where would we draw the line? Why can't all
working people in this country, both men and
women, claim their own Social Security bene-
fit AND spousal benefits from their husband
or wife? For example, I get a really nice re-
tirement benefit from the government. Why
can't I get some of my wife's Social Security?
Obviously, I know the answer to that ques-
tion. I just wish my mom would have seen it
that way.

Margenau has the answer. Contact him at

A Good Home
Remedy for Clear
Complexion
DR. WALLACE: I'm a faithful reader of your column, so
I trust you can help me. I'm a 14-year-old boy. I'm start-
ing to get a lot of pimples, and that's not good. I'm the
oldest child, and I have three younger brothers and
two younger sisters, and my mother is expecting a
baby in six weeks.
We are not poor, but our family is on a strict budget. I
know you tell most kids who have complexion prob-
lems to visit a dermatologist, but that is out as an op-
tion for me. Do you have a good home remedy you can
pass along? I'd be happy just to have my complexion
improve even if it didn't clear up entirely. Also, does
junk food cause a bad complexion? Jacob, Salt Lake
City, Utah
JACOB: I do encourage teens with complexion con-
cerns to visit a dermatologist because recent medical
research has provided these doctors effective medical
treatments that have been successful in improving or
eliminating complexion problems.
However, those teens with skin blemishes who do not
visit a dermatologist can sometimes improve their
complexions with a good home remedy. It seems that
Mother Nature could be a little kinder during the transi-
tion from childhood to adulthood. But during this
phase, the body produces an abundance of oil. Com-
plexion problems develop when the oil (sebum) mixes
with the skin's natural bacteria and dead cells, causing
pores to clog. The result is the appearance of black-
heads and whiteheads: When these are irritated, they
erupt into acne, aka pimples.
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends
these steps to counter the outbreak of facial blem-
ishes. They require little money and can be done at
home. Both girls and boys can benefit from these sug-
gestions:
1. Wash gently (no scrubbing) twice a day with mild
soap and water to remove "pore-cloggers" like oil and
dead skin cells.
2. Use a small amount of over-the-counter acne med-
ication on your "T-zone" (forehead, nose, cheeks
and chin) where breakouts are most likely to occur.
3. Avoid oil-based sunscreens, cosmetics and
other toiletries. Look for products labeled "non-come-
dogenic" or "non-acnegenic," meaning they do not
contain additives that can clog pores.
4. Keep it clean. That is, anything that touches
your face should be sanitary. For girls, skip the hair-
styling products if you have a hairstyle that's face-
framing, like bangs. Sprays and hair-molding products
usually contain chemicals that are notorious pore-
blockers. If you must mousse, wash your hands and
face after applying.

As the biologists like to say, the genome is the hardware, and the
epigenome is the software.
And the intriguing part is that to a large extent way more than
we thought possible before you are the epigenome software
programmer in charge. It's not all fixed and predetermined. Sur-
prise!
"How we sleep, the types and levels of stress we experience,
quality of diet, the type of foods we eat, toxin exposure, alcohol,
and lack of exercise can all alter our genetic makeup during ges-
tation, early development, and throughout adulthood," writes Dr.
Raby. "For example, consuming foods rich in gene-altering
methyl groups like non-(genetically modified) soybeans, red
grapes, or green tea may protect against disease by deactivating
detrimental gene 'switches.'"
Enough for today. If you want to read further, Google that Time
piece. It's titled "Why Your DNA Isn't Your Destiny." It is liber-
ating, brings up difficult ethical questions about epigenetic drugs
and leaves you with a whole new understanding of the saying,
"You are what you eat."

The site lists not just the well-heeled agencies, but also small or-
ganizations that are doing really interesting, innovative work
but might not have the funds to advertise. Doug Cutchins, au-
thor of "Volunteer Vacations: Short-Term Adventures That Will
Benefit You and Others," notes in an interview with Forbes
Magazine the changing demographics for those taking volunteer
vacations:
"The stereotype (for volunteer vacations) used to be people right
out of college or people who were retired. But we're seeing a lot
of mid-career people. This is a way for people to go on vacation
and also feel really good about it."
Working in a national park is one of the cheapest and most re-
warding volunteer vacations you can find, according to
Cutchins. He recommends trips organized by the Appalachian
Mountain Club, Appalachian Trail Conservancy, Colorado Trail
Foundation and the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation in
Montana, among others.
Families see the money-saving and stress-reducing benefits of
going on this type of vacation.
If you can't afford a trip this year, save up for next year. Al-
though most trips within the United States are on the cheaper
side, those wishing to go abroad may need more time to save, as
the trips tend to range anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000 and up.
This year, volunteer. It'll do you and others, a lot of good!

Social Security Early Payout Will Cost You Later
Baby boomers are
facing a decision
that could add or
subtract a small fortune
from their retirement income
over their lifetimes. It's the de-
cision about when and how to
take their Social Security bene-
fits. And depending on your cir-
cumstances, the wrong decision
could cost a married couple
more than half a million dollars
in future benefits.
T. Rowe Price, the investment
management company, has just
unveiled a new, free, online
tool designed to make Social
Security decision-making a
more logical process. They rec-
ognize that even for people
with additional savings, such as
40l(k) plans, IRA rollovers and
non-retirement savings, the de-
cisions made about the appro-
priate time to take, and
coordinate, benefits can have a
significant and lasting impact
on retirement planning.
Their "Social Security Benefits
Evaluator" tool, easily accessi-
ble from the home page at
TRowePrice.com, focuses on
your personal needs and spe-
cific goals whether you're
married or single. It graphically
demonstrates comparisons of
the results from different strate-
gies. But first, you must under-
stand the kinds of decisions
you'll be considering.
Getting started:
Big decisions
Let's start with the assumption
that if you're over 55, Social
Security will be there for you in
its present form at the time you
start making choices. Then,
your major decision revolves
around when and how to start
taking benefits.
Some people are forced by ne-
cessity to take benefits as soon
as allowable at age 62. They
understand that their benefits
will be permanently lowered by
this decision but simply need
the money to be able to survive.
That may be why, according to
Social Security, about 74 per-
cent of retired workers claimed
their benefits earlier than full
retirement age.
In fact, if you're still working
and decide to collect benefits
before full retirement age, your
Social Security check is tem-
porarily penalized: $1 in bene-
fits is deducted for every $2
you earn above the annual
wage limit, which is $15,120 in
2013. Once you attain full re-
tirement age you can earn as
much as you want and there
will be no reductions in your
annual benefits.
For those born from 1943
through 1954, full retirement
age is 66. For those born in suc-
ceeding years, the age of full
retirement benefits increases
two months per year, until
those born in 1960 and later
will be able to collect full bene-
fits when they reach age 67.
Every year you delay taking
benefits until age 70 adds
approximately 8 percent to your
monthly check. .CONT/P.23
5. Keep hands off. Picking at pimples can cause infec-
tion and scarring.
6. Get moving. Exercise improves blood circulation,
which means better nourishment for the skin to help build
new cells.
7. Eat healthy. Eating junk food won't cause pimples, but
a well-nourished, healthy body will repair itself faster and
more efficiently.

Clear Complexion...
Consumers Suffering No
Competitive Market
Hospital bills
are impossible
to understand.
Health care is complex and sophisti-
cated, utilizes cutting-edge technology
and offers hope of cures from many of
the common illnesses that lead to suf-
fering and death. As an industry, it re-
mains highly profitable. According to
federal actuaries at the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services, $2.6
trillion is spent on health care annu-
ally. More than half of that is paid to
hospitals and physician/medical clinic
services.
In 1961, as he was about to leave the
presidency, Dwight D. Eisenhower
warned of the dangers of a military-in-
dustrial complex that, driven by profit,
could lead to serious dangers to the
American way of life. Today we are
just as threatened by the medical-in-
dustrial complex, which wields enor-
mous sway over policy and the care
delivered to the nation. Policy deci-
sions are influenced significantly by
the lobbying clout of all stakeholders
whose concerns are determined by
their own vested interests and bottom
lines.
Despite the costs, the health of indi-
vidual Americans varies widely. Major
predictors of health are the wealth of
the individual, whether he has insur-
ance, access to health care and level of
education. If you are poor in America,
less educated, live in rural areas and
lack insurance, you are likely to be
overweight, have life-threatening ill-
nesses, receive inadequate care and
die at a younger age.
Unlike his options in other areas of the
economy, the individual consumer
will never be able to take advantage of
a competitive marketplace to save
money and drive down costs. This task
can only be accomplished by the fed-
eral government and insurance compa-
nies that, because of their economic
clout, can negotiate the best possible
deal from providers of health care.
The most influential payer is
Medicare. Patients over the age of 65
and covered by Medicare pay the
least; commercial insurance clients
come next, and the uninsured pay the
most.
A recent investigative report in Time
magazine by Stephen Brill described
"Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us."
He tells the story of a man recently di-
agnosed with lymphoma. As a small
businessman, all he could afford was
insurance that paid a maximum of
$2,000 daily for a hospital stay. MD
Anderson Cancer Center, the hospital
of his choice, refused to accept his in-
surance and required several upfront
payments that totaled more than
$80,000 (including $7,500 just to get
the doctor to see him). He was re-
quired to pay $1.50 for one pill of a
generic version of Tylenol and was
charged $283 for a chest X-ray, for
which Medicare pays $20.
And the cost of his treatment was
$15,000 for one dose of the medica-
tion Rituxan, which cost the hospital
less than $3,000.
MD Anderson has vigorously pursued
this family, and as a result, they have
lost everything.
Brill states, "We may be shocked at
the $60 billion price tag for cleaning
up after Hurricane Sandy. We spent al-
most that much last week on health
care. We spend more each year on arti-
ficial hips and knees than Hollywood
collects at the box office. We spend
two or three times that much on
durable medical devices like canes
and wheelchairs, in part because a
heavily lobbied Congress forces
Medicare to pay 25 percent to 75 per-
cent more for this equipment than it
would cost at Walmart."
Hospitals point out that health care is
complex and payment systems reflect
the need to make up for losses that
occur because of charity care and low
payments by Medicare. But if you
have an income and inadequate insur-
ance, you are doomed.
Brill maintains that every element of
our health care system inflates costs.
Physicians are blamed for unnecessary
and unduly expensive care; diagnostic
and pharmaceutical companies gouge
Americans because of powerful regu-
lation of costs globally. As a nation,
we spend more on health care than the
next 10 biggest countries' health care
costs combined.
And costs vary substantially from
health care system to health care sys-
tem. Some have financial aid for those
who are unable to pay; others do not.
Small and rural hospitals struggle to
make ends meet and are being
squeezed out by larger systems with
substantial economic clout.
The bottom line: Our health care sys-
tem is seriously flawed. Everyone I
know celebrates turning 65 enthusias-
tically because at long last they have
their Medicare card. I hope that future
reform will focus on making health
care more accessible, affordable and
rational. Care must be based on
proven evidence of benefit, and billing
must be as realistic and as transparent
as possible.

Plus, since future Social Security
benefits are indexed to inflation, the
actual amount of your future checks
could be that much larger if you wait
to receive a larger base check
Clearly, this is an important decision
to make if you can afford to delay
taking benefits, and if you expect to
live a long life based on your current
state of health, and genetic family
components.
When you are a married couple, the
decision about when each starts to
take benefits becomes more compli-
cated, depending on your goals.
Is your goal to get a
smaller benefit but start col-
lecting as soon as possible?
Is your goal to get maxi-
mum benefits over both life-
times?
Is your goal to make sure
a surviving spouse doesn't
suffer as sharp a drop in in-
come on the death of the
first spouse?
These are just a few consid-
erations that might impact
your timing decision.

That's where this unique online cal-
culator is most helpful in showing the
impact of your choices, both graphi-
cally and in the dollar amount of ben-
efits you'll receive based on your
decisions. Just go to
TRowePrice.com/SocialSecurity to
get started.
There is no registration and no need
to reveal any personal information in
order to use this tool, and the infor-
mation is not saved on their website.
To get started, enter your gender,
marital status and date of birth. Your
benefits are estimated based on the
current salary figure you input.
(There is a link to the Social Security
website where you can get your own
personal estimate to use in the tool, if
you want.)
There are some age assumptions
made: that if you are single you will
live to age 95 and if you are part of a
married couple, one of you will reach
age 95 and the other will live to be
83. That's in line with current actuar-
ial guidelines.
Now, you can get started by choosing
a goal, similar to those listed above.
Singles can select one of three goals;
couples can select one of seven goals.
Then with a click of your mouse, you
can see graphically how different
strategies can generate different in-
come streams and differing levels
of total benefits depending on the
choices you make around when to
start your benefits.
The payoff
The time to start making these deci-
sions about Social Security is before
you approach the first decision point
at age 62. Most recent studies show
that Americans are woefully under-
saved for retirement and will be-
come even more dependent on Social
Security. Combine that need with
growing longevity estimates, and you
can see how important it is to make
smart decisions about how to receive
your benefits based on the payroll
taxes you paid into the Social Secu-
rity system over your working life.

Stepping Up Your Storage
Options
Q: I have always loved old china and silver
my mother and grandmother had beautiful col-
lections that I inherited. We are getting ready to
move from our big family home to a new
condo. It's just being built so we can help de-
sign some custom storage.
We're meeting with the contractor next month,
and I'm wondering if you could suggest ideas
we might not have thought of.
A: If only I were a mind reader, I'd know what
you've already mapped out!
Instead I went searching for ideas I hadn't even
thought of and discovered designer Nicole
Marino, who has been thinking along these
same lines for a client of the firm (Cabinet In-
novations, cabinetinnovationstx.com), where
Nicole creates inspired kitchens.
In the kitchen we show here, one of her unusual
storage solutions draws on the conventional
wisdom that "the money's in the ceiling."
Translation: the more vertical space you fill, the
better the return on your use of space.
In this kitchen makeover, Nicole had the cabi-
nets (all by Wood-Mode, woodmode.com) built
right up to the ceiling, leaving not a square inch
of soffit space to gather dust. No wasted space
either. To make the highest shelves more easily
accessible, she added a library ladder, a charm-
ing surprise in the kitchen that also makes great
sense.
Like you, the homeowner cherishes her large
collection of heirloom possessions and uses
them frequently. Now that they're never out of
sight; they're never out of mind either.
Q: Where do color trends come from? Is there
some organization that dictates what the hot
new colors are going to be?
A: No, although there are a number of associa-
tions and design groups you can go to for such
trend information (among them, the Color As-
sociation of the U.S., aka CAUS, colorassocia-
tion.com; the Color Marketing Group,
colormarketing.org and the International Colour
Authority, ica-colour.org).
In addition, manufacturers like Benjamin
Moore Paints continually put out the word on
color trends as they see them coming.
The operative phrase is, "as they see them com-
ing." In each case, "they" are individuals
usually designers of both home dcor and fash-
ion apparel who keep a wetted finger in the
winds of change. They study what's being worn
on the streets of the world, what's being shown
on TV,...Continues on page27

library ladder. Photo: Don Hoffman, courtesy Wood-Mode Cabinetry.
...in the movies, magazines, museums and fash-
ion runways. They factor in political and eco-
nomic climates. They observe the overall mood
of the world's people. Restive? Cool? Angry?
Warm?
Then these seers put their observations together
and translate their conclusions into color palettes.
That's big business, mind you. The manufacturers
of the world have to make their widgets in one
color or another. It's a decision that must be made
months, sometimes years, before an actual prod-
uct appears. So they turn to the color prophets,
and we get last year's oranges, this year's yel-
lowed greens, next year's ...? (I'll let you know
when the color charts come out.).

Q:Where do color trends come from?...
Q: The living room of our
apartment opens onto a little
balcony. The door out is be-
tween two large plate glass
windows. My question is, what
kind of curtains to use that will
cover the windows and still let
us go in and out the door?
A: While you could install
curtains that would draw clear
of the door when needed, it
may be that curtains per se are
not really your best answer
here.
In the photo we show here,
New York designer Michelle
Slovak solves a similar prob-
lem by using a clever combina-
tion treatment: blinds on the
windows with a roller shade on
the door. The blinds provide
light- and privacy-control at the
twist of a wand. The shade is
mounted on the frame so it
swings in and out with the
door. Pull it down at night; roll
it up and out of sight by day.
Her solution is as sensible and
attractive as it is clever: both
treatments complement the es-
sentially contemporary attitude
of the room. Plus, they're much
gentler on the decorating
budget than the yards and yards
of fabric it would take to dress
that entire wall in curtains.

between wide windows. Photo: John Bresslee.
Outwitting That Awkward Door: an Open and Shut Case
See more of the designer's legerdemain at www.michelleslovak.com.
Q: I am moving back in with
my parents. I graduated last fall
and can't find a job that will
even pay the rent! They have
been cooler than I am about the
"Kid Re-Invasion" and have
given me the best extra bed-
room. I need it to work like an
entire house: living room-bed-
room-office (I am working
freelance part-time). How do I
do that in a 20 x 22 space?
A: Start by downsizing your
expectations: forget the "entire
house" bit; think efficiency stu-
dio apartment instead, with an
emphasis on the "efficiency."
This is nothing new. Many
young people who start out on
their own have to locate their
whole world in spaces smaller
than yours. I've seen bathrooms
in restaurants that are larger
than some New York City
apartments!
First, click on mcny.org, the
website for the Museum of the
City of New York, where
there's a reassuring exhibit
about small-space living. Think
325-square-feet small! What
makes it work: ingenuity! And
"transformable" that is, dou-
ble-duty - furniture, much of it
from Resource Furniture (re-
sourcefurniture.com) a com-
pany that knows how to make
furnishings work overtime to
max whatever space you have.
My point: You are not alone in
this squeeze, either job- or
space-wise. So you can stop
being defensive and start being
creative. As inspiration, I offer
this interesting bedroom, bor-
rowed from the creative mind
of interior designer Steven
Gambrel (and from the pages
of his handsome book, "Time
and Place," published just last
year by Abrams).
The designer is making the ut-
most of space in a guest bed-
room. Yes, there's the desk
instead of the usual bench at
the foot of the bed (think "of-
fice"). But other space-making
tricks are more subtle the
deep green walls, for example.
Conventional wisdom says
paint a small room in light col-
ors. Au contraire, Steven goes
for a dark color with a glossy
finish that actually pushes back
the walls, in the mind's eye, at
least.
He also carpets it wall-to-wall,
an approach out of style for the
upfront rooms of today's home,
but useful in a bedroom be-
cause it stretches floor space
visually.
The draperies do the same for
the window: note how they're
actually mounted higher than
the glass is tall and wider on
the wall, making you think the
window's larger than it really
is.
A final professional touch: that
standing mirrored screen. Who
knows what's behind it a
dining area perhaps, or maybe
a bar? Whatever, the mirrors
make the entire room look
larger and more livable.
A final word of caution: don't
get too settled into your "tem-
porary" space. When that job
opens up in Rio, you may not
want to move!

'Capcom Arcade Cabinet: 1985 Game Pack' Offers Nostalgic Fun
DEVELOPER: Capcom
PUBLISHER: Capcom
SYSTEM: Xbox Live Arcade
(PSN)
PRICE: $9.99 Download
ESRB RATING: Teen
REVIEW RATING: 3.5 stars
(out of 5)
Video games have changed
quite a bit since the 1980s; this
is reinforced by playing the
download-only "Capcom Ar-
cade Cabinet" series. One of
the recent additions to this se-
ries is the "1985 Game Pack"
that contains three classic
games sure to bring back fond
memories.
Newcomers to classic games
will be surprised by the ex-
treme difficulty of "Ghosts N'
Goblins," "Section Z" and
"Gun.Smoke." With no hand-
holding or save spots located
every ten feet, these games can
be downright maddening! Al-
though they appear to be vastly
different, each game tasks play-
ers with moving around the
screen, attacking enemies and
dodging a plethora of projec-
tiles.
My favorite is "Ghosts N' Gob-
lins" because it reminds me of
playing the original game for
hours on end at the local ar-
cade. Players guide Arthur the
knight through deadly surrealis-
tic environments in a desperate
attempt to save his girlfriend.
Although Arthur begins with a
meager spear, players can col-
lect additional weapons, like
axes and throwing knives.
These weapons provide differ-
ent attributes that can have a
dramatic affect against certain
enemies.
Next, we have the futuristic
shooter, "Section Z," where
players control a spaceman as
he navigates a dangerous un-
derground fortress. Multiple
enemies shooting projectiles
from every direction compound
the excitement. Players can use
a handy jetpack and a quick
180-degree turn button to gain
an advantage, and improved
weapons and quick speed
boosts can be obtained along
the way.
Last on the list is the wild west-
themed shooter, "Gun.Smoke."
Unlike most vertical shooters,
this one lets players blast ene-
mies in front of them and on
each side! This feature comes
in mighty handy since the sher-
iff is attacked by desperadoes
packing sidearms and dynamite
as well as nimble ninjas sling-
ing shurikins! For an extra ad-
vantage, make sure to hop on
the speedy horse whenever it
becomes available.
Since there are no console
game emulators, "Capcom Ar-
cade Cabinet: 1985 Game
Pack" is your best bet for gam-
ing nostalgia.

Resurrection'

PRICE: $15.00
ESRB RATING: Teen
REVIEW RATING: 4.0 stars
(out of 5)
Way back before the abysmal
"Twilight" series ruined the
idea of vampires fighting
against werewolves, Capcom
actually made this concept fun.
Capcom Arcade Cabinet
The unusual title, "Darkstalkers,"
threw a dark mix of supernatural crea-
tures together in their own pugilistic
fighting game that was fast and furi-
ous! Now fans can rejoice as the series
has been brought back to life in the
form of "Darkstalkers Resurrection."
This title offers both the second and
third "Darkstalkers" games in one
handy package that retains their origi-
nal glory. Fortunately, none of the
fighting mechanics
have been
altered,
which
should
please fans
of the series.
However,
there are
many new additions that add more en-
joyment to the package, with the most
prolific being online multiplayer com-
bat.
Due to the fast nature of this series, it's
crucial to have seamless online game
play. Thankfully, the online experience
is not only free of lag, but it also lets
players filter the region, latency and
even the skill level of opponents. Play-
ers can also create groups of up to
eight players to fight each other, and
those who aren't fighting can spectate.
Lastly, players can now create and run
their own tournaments to see who is
the true master of the night.
Also new to the
series
is a use-
ful tutorial mode in
the form of character trials. In
addition to teaching maneuvers, these
trials also provide reasons why certain
moves are vital for survival. Veteran
and new players alike will surely ben-
efit from completing the trials for
every character.
I find it very nostalgic to play classic
games like this in their original form,
but a cool array of visual filters is also
available to customize the experience.
For instance, players can "smooth" the
look to make it less pixelated and/or
stretch the visuals to fit wide-screen
TVs.
"Darkstalkers Resurrection" may frus-
trate newcomers, but this is the game
that fans of the series have been wait-
ing for.

dog talk with unClE Matty
Knowing Aggression
I got another one of those phone
calls the other day. I pick up, and
the guy on the other end tells me
he has a 2-year-old dog who is
"sometimes" aggressive.
I tell him he has a "sometimes"
problem.
But the problem with a some-
times problem is that it's easy to
forget you have a real problem
or to pretend you don't. And
you do.
Aggression sometimes or all
the time is a real problem.
The guy on the phone wasn't
done.
He tells me he started bringing
his dog to the office every day,
hoping to use his employees to
socialize his pooch.
Instead of a socialized dog, he
ended up with a territorial dog.
Territorial and aggressive.
Within the United States Depart-
ment of Labor lies a division
called OSHA. Created in 1970
with the passage of the Occupa-
tional Safety and Health Act, the
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration exists "to assure
safe and healthful working con-
ditions for working men and
women by setting and enforcing
standards and by providing train-
ing, outreach, education and as-
sistance."
"Safe conditions" includes not
treating your employees like
caged bait for the purpose of cur-
ing your dog's aggression. There
is a very real potential for liabil-
ity here.
While dog aggression is a seri-
ous problem, dealing with it nev-
ertheless boils down to the two
steps involved in finding solu-
tions to any problem: 1) Recog-
nize it. 2) Do something about it.
But dog aggression is often com-
plicated by our resistance as dog
owners to step 1.
A woman called me recently say-
ing her dog attacked another dog.
I told her she has an aggressive
dog. She said, "No, he's my baby.
He just didn't like that other
dog."
Resistance.
If we can't get to step 1, we'll
never get to step 2.
Having an aggressive dog isn't
the end of the world. It doesn't
mean you're a bad person. It
doesn't mean you have a bad
dog. It just means you have to
pay attention, you have to be
honest, and you have to take pre-
cautions when it comes to your
dog.
In order to recognize your dog's
behavior as aggressive, it might
help to understand the different
types of aggression:
human aggression
dog (or other animals) ag-
gression
fear-based aggression
dominance-based aggression
food and resource aggression
(the guarding of food, food
bowls, toys, bones, treats, etc.)
territorial aggression (the
guarding of territory, which
could be your home, your car,
your office, a doghouse, a dog
bed, a couch, a bed, a hotel room
or even you if your dog some-
how got the idea that he owns
you).
It also helps to know what ag-
gressive behavior looks like:
growling
curled lip, bared teeth
snapping
snarling
biting
These are clear warning signs
that a dog is miffed or freaked
out and might bite or attack.
Subtler signs exist, as well: a
stiff tail, an unblinking stare, a
frozen stance, raised hackles, a
wagging tail that isn't relaxed,
even the licking of the lips...
These behaviors could indicate
an impending act of aggression,
or they could be triggered by
something else. The subtlety of
canine messages is a good reason
to bring in a professional if your
dog's behavior involves any of
the bullet points above.
An aggressive dog is a problem.
But there are many possible so-
lutions. So much depends on the
specific behaviors and the spe-
cific circumstances. So don't
bury your head in the sand. And
don't get rid of the dog. Get help
to get rid of the problem.

If you live anywhere above the
ground floor, your cat could be injured falling
out of a window. Theyre just not able to un-
derstand the risk, and sometimes jump after
something interesting, such as a bird. As the
weather warms, people will be opening win-
dows, putting their pets at risk. But its possi-
ble to give a cat fresh air safely, no matter
what kind of housing you have. If youre in
multifamily housing, you may be allowed to
add heavy screening to a balcony to give your
cat access to fresh air and a good view. If
youre in a detached home, you can put in a
more permanent structure, such as a screened-
in multilevel cat playground. And dont open
any windows that dont have screens.
Youve made it as a
birder if you see a bird
with what appears to
be bubbles on
his chest,
making
a
popping noise in hopes of attracting a mate.
Experts in American bird species say the Gun-
nison sage grouse, which is found in Utah and
Colorado, is the countrys rarest, with fewer
than 5,000 remaining. Discovery magazine
says the Gunnison was discovered only 13
years ago, and its numbers have been falling
ever since. Private efforts to halt the popula-
tions decline have not been effective, leading
to efforts for the bird to be included on the
federal endangered species list.
Obesity is a problem in parrots,
too. Some of the signs of obesity include rolls
of fat around the abdomen and hip areas,
along with cleavage on the abdomen or breast
area. The skin of most normal pet birds is typ-
ically very thin and quite transparent. When
the skin is wetted with rubbing alcohol, you
should be able to see dark pink or red muscle
underneath. In overweight birds, you see
yellowish fat instead. Overweight
birds will also commonly exhibit
labored breathing after exer-
tion or heat intolerance.
Check with a veterinarian
with expertise in avian care
to determine root causes
and develop a plan for your
birds return to full health.

MOVIE SELECTION: Vmonos con Pancho Villa! (1936)
Antonio R. Frausto, Domingo Soler, Manuel Tams; Directed by Fer-

army, hoping to make a difference. After many battles and tragedy
only one of the Lions is left, and he is told to go home while the

ART PERIOD: Mexican School of Painting and Sculpture
This art movement began after the Mexican Revolution of 1910,
with a focus on pacification and reconstruction. 1920 marked the
naissance of the Mexican School of Painting and Sculpture, a
movement that challenged the increasingly obsolete academic tra-
dition. Muralism became a vehicle for literacy and politics of the
time. This movie reflects the art exhibit by following the firing-squad
theme as portrayed by the painting 'Fusilamento', by Garcia Bustos
Arturo Leanardo, which also seems to capture the turmoil of the
time period wrought by the Mexican Revolution.

This movement began in the 1950's and by 1960's, began super-
seding the Mexican School of Painting and Sculpture in importance.
Subjectivity is a theme explored by La Ruptura art movement.
Based on a short novel, Pedro Pramo is set in the time of the Mex-
ican revolution, and tells the story of a town and its people from the
subjective perspectives of two individuals: in one account, everyone
in the village is a ghost, in the other, they are still among the living.
Parking is available at the Mills Street, Camino Real, and Conven-
tion Center garages for a small fee.

Synopsis Dr. Cara Hard-
ing (Julianne Moore) is
a dedicated psychiatrist
skeptical about the na-
ture of certain afflic-
tions, especially
Multiple Personality Disorder. Her skepticism starts to give way
when her father, Dr. Harding (Jeffrey DeMunn), introduces her to
a patient named Adam (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) who consistently
assumes the personalities of murder victims. Cara's work with
Adam puts her and her daughter Sammy (Brooklynn Proulx) at
risk of becoming victims themselves.

MIAMI, FL (March 27, 2013) - Their music
and lyrics were like nothing that Latin
music fans had ever
heard before. But the
power of their songs
broke down barriers
and opened the way for
many other artists. And
today, the Mexican five-
some Caifanes are con-
sidered one of
rock-en-Espaol's
most important groups.
Sony Music celebrates
their genius with the
CD and DVD compila-
tion 25 Aniversario,
available now. It features all the hits that
opened the ears of a generation.
Caifanes inspired Spanish-speaking lis-
teners with fusions of rock and pop
alongside Latin and even pre-colonial mu-
sical elements. Like modern-day
prophets, they helped their listeners un-
derstand the past, present and future of
their surroundings.
"Afuera" (Outside) lets our imaginations
fly with a soaring guitar solo over an al-
most tribal huapango beat. "Aqu No Es
As" (Here, It's Not That Way) contrasts
the spiritual wisdom of the ancients with
the pampered materialism of today. Their
cover of "La Negra Tomasa" puts a 1980s
New Romantic spin on the cumbia stan-
dard and brings it to a new generation.
With one of the most rec-
ognizable rasps in rock
music, lead vocalist Sal
Hernndez gives an un-
forgettable performance
on the group's iconic bal-
lad "No Dejes Que..."
(Don't Let...).
The 14-song CD contains
the most-remembered
songs from their four stu-
dio albums recorded be-
tween 1988 and their split
in 1995, while the DVD
contains 12 live perform-
ances, most of them never previously re-
leased.
The members of Caifanes began playing
together in 1984 and by 1987 they had
adopted the name Caifanes and were fill-
ing major venues, such as Mexico City's
Rockotitln. Their self-titled debut album
(1988) sold 300,000 copies and one year
later they became the first Mexican rock
band to sell out two shows at Mexico
City's Auditorio Nacional, a 10,000-seat
venue.
Enjoy Caifanes' retrospective 25 Aniver-
sario and discover, or re-discover, their
brilliant contributions to Latin alternative
music.

Music Releases
This 20-year-old talent has been
touted by his peers (read Tisto,
Skrillex and Deadmau5) as one of
the nu-breed saviours of electronic
music, and having only experienced
the limelight for a short amount of
time, his achievements paint the pic-
ture of a bright future.
2011 saw Porter achieve what some
do in an entire career. He provided
tour support to Tisto and Skrillex, as
well as debut appearances at Elec-
tric Daisy Carnival, Ultra Music Festival
and Electric Zoo that led to him en-
tering DJ Mags Top 100 and the Bill-
board Top 21 Under 21 chart. His
Spitfire EP, which crashed Beatports
servers on release, smashed its way
to the #1 position in the process and
held fort for 2 weeks solid. Add in a
couple official remixes for Lady
Gaga and Avicii, and one would
think things could not get bigger for
the young musician.
However, 2012 saw Porter growing
even further with appearances in
top-billed slots on those same festi-
vals plus Coachella, Tomorrowland,
Creamfields and Lollapalooza. He
began residencies at XS and Surren-
der in Las Vegas, made a European
headline tour debut, spun a live Es-
sential Mix on BBC Radio 1, and re-
leased the hit single Language to
great acclaim and constant radio
spins around the world not to men-
tion #1 spots on the Beatport Overall
and iTunes Dance charts.
As Porter looks forward to scheduling
a new batch of releases including
a slew of exciting collaboration
tracks and the rest of what is sure to
be a thrilling year.

ITS GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS
The right address
The term setup is a good one because thats just what this
portion of your pre-shot routine does it sets up your whole
swing. You may not have the athletic talent of a tour player
once the swing starts (few do), but every golfer has the ability
to set up like an expert, so there are no excuses when it comes
to getting this part of your swing down pat.
Here, from bottom to top, are five checkpoints for your perfect
setup. All references are in relation to the target line, that imag-
inary straight line connecting your ball and the target.
1. Feet
Your feet should be turned out about 25 degrees each (a quarter
of a turn). This makes it easier to rotate your hips correctly as
you swing.
The amount of flare depends on how flexible you are and the
ball flight you want. High-flex golfers with swings that are too
long should use much less back-foot flare, while slicers should
de-flare the front foot. Lefty Steve Flesch in the photo below is
about standard, with both feet flared the same.
The width of your stance is measured using your heels. Take
your stance with a short iron and, without moving your feet,
mark the position of your heels with two tees, then move away
and check your width the tees should be hip width apart. To
match your hips and heels, use the outside rim of the hips and
the middle of your heels.
Your stance widens in small increments as you use longer
clubs, until with the driver, the heels are about shoulder width
apart.
2. Knees
Your knee flex should match the knee bend of your normal
walking stride just as your forward foot flattens on the ground.
If you can see your shoelaces, you have too little flex; if you
cant see your toes, you have too much.
3. Hip Joints
The tilt of your upper body toward the ground ranges any-
where from 25 degrees to 35 degrees and is controlled by how
much you bend from your hip joints. Notice that both the tour
players in the photos bend from their hip joints and not their
waists. When you bend from your waist, you deactivate your
centers of rotation, so your hip joints lock up, forcing sliding
instead of turning.
When you assume the correct address position, your abdomen
is retracted both backward and upward so your fanny pro-
trudes. To get the feeling, imagine that youre about to sit on
an above-the-waist, three-legged stool. The traditional image
of a regular height stool causes too much knee bend.
4. Shoulders
The shoulder checkpoint features your arms hanging under
your shoulders with your upper arms adhering lightly to your
torso, as if they were stuck to the sides of your chest. You
could open your hands and drop the club to the ground and
your arms would hardly change their angle of hang.
5. Head
Your head should be positioned in the middle of your shoul-
ders with your chin held high in the proud position. If you let it
rest on your chest, it blocks your shoulder turn. The proud po-
sition requires you to peep at the ball with the bottom of
your eyes rather than stare at it with a droopy head.
Note: Dont wear bifocals when you play golf because they
force you to drop your head to see the ball.
Insider Takeaway: Both photos show an overall setup position
that is one of springy readiness. Run through each check-
point from bottom to top every time you address the ball and in
no time your setup will become automatic.

ASK THE PRO
Dial back
your anger
on the golf
course
Q: My wife is always on me
about my temper on the
course. She wont play with
me. She says it ruins my
game and its not good for
my health. Is she right?
Weeb B.
A: I think she is. There
have been many players,
past and present, who
have a history of getting
upset when they play. Pat
Perez and Kevin Stadler let
you know they care; Curtis
Strange often spit out un-
printables in his prime;
Steve Pate was known as
The Volcano and Colin
Montgomerie regularly
turned beet red when
things didnt go his way.
Most pros get mad, but
they get over it before the
next shot, and so should
you.
As far as your health goes,
Dr. Janice E. Williams, a
cardiovascular epidemiolo-
gist with the Centers for
Disease Control and Pre-
vention, documents in a
study published in the May
2000 medical journal Circu-
lation that if your normal re-
sponse to adversity is
hostility and anger, you are
nearly three times more
likely to have a heart at-
tack.
Insider Takeaway: For the
good of your game and
your health, chill out when
you play golf.

Closer look may
reveal tiny errors
Neurologist Oliver Sacks recounts the
story of a patient who awoke one
morning with a sense of smell rivaling
that of a bloodhound. He described a
wonderful world of rich aromas where
everything had a distinctive smell a
normal person isnt aware of because
our smell system is limited by a scent
bandwidth.
Likewise, our sight is limited within a
vision bandwidth. But a new technol-
ogy invented by scientists at MIT pro-
vides a way to magnify micro-motions
the eye cant see. The amplification
process is called Eulerian Video Mag-
nification, and William T. Freeman,
one of its inventors, explains, Once
we amplify these small motions, theres
like a whole new world you can look
at.
In the golf swing, I believe that errors
add up when small variations at ad-
dress through the backswing and im-
pact are not detected in the ball flight
until they reach a threshold where the
error is large enough to be noticed. Its
much the same as when the body ap-
pears to be healthy in the early stages
of a disease even though disease micro-
elements are present.
Insider Takeaway: Based on this mi-
croscope of motion technology, it could
be possible to film a golf swing, blow
up the video so you can see the micro-
movements, and then fix the micro-er-
rors before they accumulate. If the goal
of science is an immortal body that
never breaks down, then the goal of
golf instruction is a golf swing that
doesnt break down. In both scenarios,
preventive medicine fueled by inter-
vention technology is the key.
TEEING OFF
Change takes time
THE GOLF DOCTOR
Some students expectations are way too high.
After playing the same way for years, they ex-
pect to make changes in their swing overnight,
notwithstanding the fact that the brain holds on
to its learning, so it resists change.
But heres the good news: For survival purposes,
its good that the brain doesnt forget things like
what a snake is or what to do when an assailant
is shooting at you from point-blank range.
In fact, it was not forgetting that saved a New
York policemans life a few years ago when a
fleeing suspect whirled and suddenly pointed his
gun. Video showed the officer raising his left
arm to shield his heart, a defense he hadnt used
since Police Academy training 17 years before.
How can this help you to change your golf
swing? Since your brain automatically remem-
bers well-learned techniques, you must be pa-
tient while in the replacement period. If you keep
at it, once its learned, your new swing will be
just as hard to forget as the old one was.
Keep your eyes on the prize
During any round of golf, there
will be something to distract
the player: the wind, the lie or
your last shot in the water. But
the mother of all round-wreck-
ers are the opinions of other
people. They are most destruc-
tive when players stop playing
golf and start playing what I
call What Will People Think of
Me, or WWPTOM.
Several years ago, Padraig Har-
rington and Tiger Woods were
locked in a battle going to the
16th hole on Sunday at the
Bridgestone Invitational. Har-
rington was one stroke up. Just
before they teed off, the ref told
them they were on the clock.
Visibly rattled, Harrington
drove into the trees. Then, try-
ing to hurry, he laid up into a
fairway bunker, eventually
making a triple bogey. In con-
trast, Woods took his time and
at the height of the crunch,
calmly hit a 180-yard 8-iron to
a foot from the cup and strolled
to a four-shot win.
Two players, same situation,
but two different responses.
One player was playing WWP-
TOM and one player was play-
ing golf.
Paul Goydos, owner of a swing
only his banker could love, de-
scribes the feeling: All of a
sudden, it isnt just about the
golf. You start hitting bad shots
and you begin to worry about
what your playing partner
thinks of you, or your game, or
worse, what the gallery is
thinking. Everything becomes
so big in your mind, you realize
later that the only person to
whom it was that big was you.
Sometimes, however, a lot of
people really are watching you.
Last year, after three rounds of
the Players Championship at
the TPC Sawgrass, Kevin Na
was leading the so-called fifth
major. He had a strange pre-
shot routine, featuring a num-
ber of waggles, sometimes
stopping at the top, then return-
ing to waggle some more. On
average it took him about 50
seconds per shot.
The fans, the press, the an-
nouncers and Na himself were
upset that he was taking so
long. Then on Sunday, he caved
to the criticism and began to
rush during and between shots.
My main thought, Na admit-
ted, was trying to play fast. I
knew the whole world was
watching.
And the whole world got to
watch him shoot a very fast 76,
bad enough for a seventh-place
finish. So it was that a year that
had started out on such a prom-
ising note five top-10 fin-
ishes through May
imploded. During the rest of
2012, Kevin Na had only one
more top 10, but he did play
much faster.
Insider Takeaway: WWPTOM
is its own game with its own
rules, but it is not golf. Remem-
ber two things: (1) You can
only hurry yourself, and (2) if
you are doing it for them,
you can never do enough.
BIRDIES AND BOGEYS
Temper, temper
Golf Digest once took a poll of PGA Tour players asking who on tour had the worst tem-
per. Voters said the hottest heads belonged to Pat Perez (28 percent), Woody Austin (24
percent) and Steve Flesch (12 percent).

Defending STP 500 winner Ryan Newman describes
dramatic 2012 win at Martinsville
Ryan Newman returns to Martinsville Speedway
as the defending winner of this weekends STP
500. Last years triumph, his first career Mar-
tinsville victory, came in dramatic fashion and
has been a part of NASCARs highlight footage
for the past 12 months.
Last spring, team owner Rick Hendrick
was poised to get his 200th win at Martinsville,
where he got his first victory back in the spring
of 1984 with Geoff Bodine driving. Martinsville
also is where Hendrick attended races as a
youngster, and where one of his teams planes
crashed, killing 10 people, including Hendricks
son, brother, two nieces and members of his inner
circle at Hendrick Motorsports.
For much of last years race it looked
as if either Jeff Gordon or Jimmie Johnson, both
Hendrick drivers, would win the race. But with
two of the scheduled 500 laps left to run, and
Gordon and Johnson running 1-2, the caution
flag flew for the stalled car of David Reutimann.
Thats when the situation began to turn
in Newmans favor.
Hed struggled early in the race, even
going a lap down at one point. But he and his
crew, then led by crew chief Tony Gibson,
worked on his car and improved its handling.
It was way off at first, we got it better,
and once we got our lap back, we were really
good, Newman said. We drove up through a lot
of guys. We werent a winning car. The Hendrick
guys were the winning cars.
But its never over until the checkered
flag falls, and on Lap 504, with the race already
past its scheduled distance, the field was set to
try up to three green-white-checkered-flag runs
to the finish.
Newman lined up fifth, behind Clint
Bowyer, with Gordon and Johnson on the front
row.
I went to go past [Bowyer] and he
blocked me, Newman said, explaining that he
bumped into Bowyer at that point. When I did, I
gave him enough momentum to be able to shoot
down underneath [Gordon and Johnson].
But in the process, Bowyer ran into the
concrete curb on the inside of the race track and
bounced up into the leaders, causing a crash.
If [Bowyer] hadnt clipped the curb,
he probably would have won, Newman said.
Instead, Newmans No. 39 Chevrolet
shot into the lead as the caution flag flew yet
again, setting up another restart on Lap 514.
Newman said his goal on that start was
to try to prevent another situation in which the
leader lost a chance for victory. On the start, he
had the inside, with A.J. Allmendinger on the
outside and Dale Earnhardt Jr. in third, the same
position Bowyer was in on the previous restart.
My biggest goal was to keep Junior from going
three wide because he was restarting third, which
would have put me in the middle, which obvi-
ously didnt work for the last group, Newman
said. I knew if I could keep [Allmendinger] on
the outside of me, in a lap and a half or two laps,
no matter how good his car was, the inside line is
better. After about a lap I held him to the outside,
and we drove away.
From then on, his goal was to keep All-
mendinger from making a desperate bid for the
win and wrecking them both.
I wanted to make sure he didnt try to
banzai me, Newman said. For him, a second-
place finish was a really good day for his team,
and for us, a win was what we were there for.
Finally, on Lap 515, the checkered flag
flew, with Newman in control of the race.
After six top-five finishes, including a
second-place run in 2007, he finally collected
one of the tracks signature grandfather clock tro-
phies.
It was just good circumstances, New-
man said of the turn of events that resulted in his
16th career Sprint Cup victory. I think it made
for a great race.
Ryan Newman shoots into the lead in the 2012 STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway.

Newman celebrates his 2012 STP 500 win
at Martinsville Speedway.
By Christopher A. Randazzo
All-new ES350 continues with Lexus perfection
Since the Lexus brand first
stepped into the luxury car mar-
ket back in 1989, the ES model
has always been the automak-
ers top-selling car. With its con-
servative styling, solid
reputation and ease of use, the
ES is a car whose loyal owners
simply trade in one for another
when its time to buy a new
one. Knowing this, Lexus must
walk a tight rope when chang-
ing the ES, as to not lose exist-
ing customers yet continue
trying to attract new ones. Well,
for 2013 Lexus has completely
redesigned the ES and it ap-
pears that the Japanese au-
tomaker has met both agendas.
Its no secret that the Lexus ES
has always shared platforms
with the Toyota Camry. But
that changes rather significantly
for 2013. The all-new ES rides
on a modified Toyota Avalon
platform, making this ES the
first one ever to not be shared
with the Camry. And with the
larger dimensions, this ES is
the largest one ever.
Sculpted with an aggressive, al-
most sporty appearance, the
new ES350 adopts the brands
signature spindle grille.
Conservative was always the
adjective used to describe pre-
vious ES models, but that will
no longer be the case this time
around. In fact, the new car
looks more like the newly re-
designed GS model than any
other previous ES. Either way,
the styling of the new ES
should make old customers
happy and bring in some new
ones.
Enter the cabin of the new
ES350 and you will find one of
the nicest interiors of any entry-
level luxury car. A nice assort-
ment of wood, leather and
high-end plastics highlight the
dashboard, center console,
doors, and steering wheel. The
leather seating is super soft and
comfortable, and there are
plenty of power adjustments, so
no one should have any diffi-
culty getting cozy in the
ES350.
When equipped with the Navi-
gation and Audio Package, the
ES gets the Lexus Remote
Touch system. Basically the
same system that is used in
their higher end vehicles, it is
essentially a mouselike device
that controls a cursor on a large
centrally located screen. The
test car did not have this feature
but I did get a chance to drive
an ES with it, and I found it
very easy to get used to despite
how distracting it may appear.
Many features that were once
limited to the higher-end LS
model are now available on the
new ES350, like manual rear
door window sunshades, a
blind-spot monitor, a heated
steering wheel and a power
trunk.
The engine from the previous
ES350 is carried over to the
new car with little changes.
Still using a 3.5 liter V6 (hence
the same ES350 name) it con-
tinues to put out 268 hp and
248 lb-ft of torque by way of a
six-speed automatic transmis-
sion. Big news though, is the
ES300h the first ever hybrid
ES. Pairing a 2.5 liter four-
cylinder with two motor-gener-
ators and a CVT transmission,
it makes a combined 200 horse-
power and manages to get 40
mpg in the city and 39 mpg on
the highway. The regular
ES350 gets 21 mpg in the city
and 31 mpg on the highway.
The driving experience of the
new ES350 is typical Lexus:
comfortable, quiet and luxuri-
ous. Regardless of road sur-
faces, the ES does an amazing
job at maintaining a soft,
smooth ride as well as keeping
noises from entering the cabin.
Power from the V6 is smooth
and responsive and while it still
is no sports sedan, the new
ES350 is the most engaging ES
ever.
The 2013 ES350 is quite a
milestone for Lexus. Its no
longer just a spruced up Toyota
Camry like those before it. On
top of that, this is the sharpest-
looking ES in quite a few gen-
erations. And lets not forget
the 300h, the first ever hybrid
ES which is bound to round up
some new buyers. Yes, the ES
has changed quite a bit for
2013, but one thing that wont
change is its appeal to buyers
who want the very best in the
entry-level luxury car market.

Martin, Vickers to sub for Hamlin
In a rather surprising
turn of events, Mark Martin
was announced last Thursday
as the fill-in driver for Denny
Hamlin, who is expected to be
out of Joe Gibbs Racings No.
11 Toyota for about five races
due to a back injury suffered in
a last-lap crash at Auto Club
Speedway on March 24.
But a day after Gibbs
announced the decision to put
Martin in the car, Martins reg-
ular employer, Michael Waltrip
Racing, announced that he
would be driving the No. 11
only this weekend at Mar-
tinsville Speedway. After that,
hell resume his duties as part-
time driver of Waltrips No. 55
Toyota.
Brian Vickers, a
driver with plenty of Cup expe-
rience now racing full-time in
the Nationwide Series for
Gibbs, will take over the No. 11
after Martinsville and drive it
until Hamlin can return to the
seat.
Obviously, having to
find someone to fill in for
Denny is not an ideal situation
to have to be in, and when you
start a process like this you ob-
viously begin to look at the
drivers that are not only avail-
able, but also able to drive for
your race team and manufac-
turer, J.D. Gibbs, president of
Joe Gibbs Racing, said in a
team release. We were a bit
premature in determining
Marks status past Martinsville,
however ... Were real happy to
have the opportunity to get
Brian in our Cup cars and with
him driving Nationwide for us,
we think we have some conti-
nuity there that is beneficial.

pioneer
Malone dead
at 76
Art Malone, a legendary
seeker of speed, died
March 29 at age 76 from
lingering injuries suffered
in an airboat accident. Al-
though he was best known
as a drag racer, Malone
also was a participant in
NASCAR racing.
In 1961, he be-
came the first driver to av-
erage more than 180 miles
per hour at Daytona Inter-
national Speedway. Driving
a specially prepared open-
wheel racer, he collected a
$10,000 prize for his ef-
forts.
Malone made two
starts in the series now
known as Sprint Cup. He
finished eighth at Mar-
tinsville in 1961 substitute
driving for Lee Petty in a
Petty Enterprises Ply-
mouth, and was 10th in
the Firecracker 250 at
Daytona International
Speedway in 1962 driving
a Pontiac for Jack Smith.
NOTEBOOK
After five Sprint Cup races this season, there have
been races at five different types of race tracks,
with five different winners, and the three partici-
pating manufacturers all recording race victories.
John Darby, NASCARs managing di-
rector of competition and the Sprint Cup Series
director, said on a teleconference last week that
those numbers are indicators that the Generation 6
race car that made its debut this season is off to a
good start.
Its very difficult to make a firm judg-
ment off of one race or one style of race track, he
said. But weve had a great sampling of every-
thing from short tracks to restrictor-plate racing so
far in 13, and we have been very pleased with all
of what weve seen.
Darby went on to say that he believes
the on-track product is getting better as teams and
drivers get more experience with the new car.
All the engineers and resources in the
world can put their heads together and present a
car for competition, he said. But until the actual
race teams get ahold of the race car and do what
they do best I dont believe [we] have seen its
full potential we have just scratched the sur-
face.
Darby also explained his decision not to
penalize any drivers for their conduct in the clos-
ing laps and afterward at Auto Club Speed-
way. Some wondered why Tony Stewart wasnt
punished for turning his car in to Joey Loganos
after the race and confronting him about the block
Logano put on him during a late-race restart.
A few years ago, we backed away from
micro-managing drivers emotions, Darby said.
You would hope in todays world that if some-
body didnt win a race, they would be upset about
it for whatever reason. Thats what our drivers do
they try to win races.
He said some emotion and anger
is just part of the sport.
A couple of drivers arguing a little bit
doesnt create a foul in our world today, he said.
The crews did a great job of managing their driv-
ers to make sure that it didnt cross the line to
where there was physical violence or anything
like that.
Gen-6 car off to good start
The Camping World Truck
Series has been idle since the
season opener at Daytona In-
ternational Speedway, but
that doesnt mean the drivers
have been in holiday mode.
Some have been
trying to get some dirt racing
experience to prepare them
for the July 24 race at Tony Stewarts Eldora
Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.
Its the first appearance on dirt for
a major NASCAR series since the Cup cir-
cuit raced at the North Carolina State Fair-
grounds in 1970.
Joey Coulter has been competing
in a Late Model in the NeSmith Chevrolet
Late Model Series. Matt Crafton drove a dirt
Modified at Tucson Raceway Park, the dirt
track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and at
Volusia Speedway Park. Max Gresham also
raced at Volusia.
It was totally different, Coulter
told reporters from Speed TV in describing
his experiences racing on a clay surface,
where drivers often run practically sideways
and on the verge of losing control
lap after lap. Ive been racing for
14 years, and all 14 have been on
pavement. It was really, really dif-
ferent.
But it was a ton of fun and I re-
ally enjoyed it right from the get-
go.
Some are planning to tune up in
test sessions. Red Horse Racing plans to
send its three drivers, Timothy Peters, Ger-
man Quiroga and John Wes Townley, to a
dirt-racing school, but there are some Truck
Series drivers like Ty Dillon who have ex-
tensive experience on dirt.
Several veteran NASCAR drivers
who run on dirt mostly for fun are planning
to race at Eldora. Among them are Kenny
Wallace and Ken Schrader. And there are a
few dirt veterans, including Scott
Bloomquist, one of dirt racings all-time
great drivers, who plan to enter the race.
The Truck Series returns to one of
its familiar tracks, Martinsville Speedway,
this weekend for the Kroger 250.
Truck Series resumes
Sprint Cup veteran Dave
Blaney used the circuits off-
week to return to his sprint car
roots.
Before he devoted his
full-time attention to NASCAR
in 1999, Blaney won 70 fea-
tures with the World of Out-
laws, the premier sprint car
circuit in America.
Last Saturday, he
showed some of his old skills
by winning the main event at
Port Royal Speedway in Penn-
sylvania. Blaney, driving a No.
10 car he prepared himself,
rode the high groove to his third
career victory at that track, the
others coming in 1983 and
1984.
He earned $3,300 for
his efforts, not a lot compared
to the $108,738 he collected for
his 21st-place finish at Auto
Club Speedway in the Sprint
Cup race the week before.
At Gresham Motor-
sports Park in Jefferson, Ga.,
