Jacob Holds Top Spot Since 1999
Jacob and Sophia are repeat champions as
Americas most popular baby names for 2012.
This is the fourteenth year in a row Jacob tops
the list for boys and the second year for Sophia.
There is a new couple in the top 10 this year--
Elizabeth and Liam replace Chloe and Daniel.
Elizabeth has been here before, but this is the
first time Liam breaks into the top 10. Perhaps
Liams new found success can be attributed to
Liam Neesons recent major roles in Battle-
ship and the popular Taken, The Chronicles
of Narnia, and Clash of the Titans franchises.
For all the top baby names of 2012, go to Social
Securitys website www.socialsecurity.gov.

1) Sophia
2) Emma

Now back to the list. Many pop-culture naming
trends appear in a popular feature of Social Secu-
ritys baby names website--the change in popu-
larity page. This years winners for biggest
jump in popularity in the Top 500 are Major and
Arya. .
The fastest riser on the girls list may have been
influenced by the popular cable TV series Game
of Thrones. Arya is the daughter of a leader of
one of the Seven Kingdoms. She also is an ex-
pert sword fighter, so doubt her influence on the
popular names list at your own risk.

Department of Health
Raising Awareness
about Hepatitis
(Santa Fe) The New Mex-
ico Department of Health
and its partners are working
to raise awareness about
Hepatitis. May is National
Hepatitis Awareness Month
and May 15th is National
Hispanic Hepatitis Aware-
ness Day. Hepatitis means
inflammation of the liver and
is caused by a virus.
The Department of Health
estimates about 35,000 New
Mexicans are infected with
Hepatitis C. The Centers for
Disease Control and Pre-
vention estimate about 3 out
of 4 of people in the United
States, testing positive, with
Hepatitis C dont even know
it.
Hepatitis C is among the
leading cause of chronic
liver disease deaths in New
Mexico, said Department of
Health Cabinet Secretary
Retta Ward, MPH. The New
Mexico Department of
Health works with people
who test positive and in-
forms them of treatment op-
tions.
Hepatitis C is spread
through blood transmission.
Sharing personal hygiene
items, such as a toothbrush,
as well as drug use equip-
ment such syringes to inject
drugs or items to inhale or
smoke drugs all increase the
risk for the spread of Hepati-
tis C.
The CDC estimates 3 million
people in the United States
have chronic Hepatitis C.
Baby Boomers are at an in-
creased risk. The CDC en-
courages anyone born from
1945 through 1965 to ask
their nurse or doctor about
getting testing. Others who
should get tested for Hepati-
tis C include:
Anyone who received
blood or organ donations
before 1992.
Anyone who has injected
drugs, even it if was just
once or many years ago.
Anyone with certain
medical conditions includ-
ing chronic liver disease
and HIV or AIDS.
The Department of Health
also focuses its efforts on
Hepatitis B, which is vac-
cine-preventable. Hepatitis
B is spread through blood,
semen and other body fluids
by having sex with an in-
fected person, sharing con-
taminated needles to inject
drugs, or from an infected
mother to her newborn.
Public health offices in New
Mexico offer the Hepatitis B
vaccine at no cost to those
in high-risk groups including
people who have had sex
with more than one partner
in the last six months, men
who have sex with men and
people who have been diag-
nosed with a sexually trans-
mitted disease.

Doppler" Dave Speelman is the chief meteorologist at KVIA-TV in
El Paso. You can watch his forecasts at 4, 5, 6 and 10 pm on ABC-7
(channel 6 cable). If you would like Doppler Dave to address (explain)
any weather issues you can email him at Dopplerdave@kvia.com.
The phones lit up quickly in the ABC-
7 weather lab with reports of a tor-
nado on the ground in El Paso. That
was Friday, May 10th. What was orig-
inally reported as a tornado by all
callers and tweets was actually what
we call a gustnado. This was since
verified by the National Weather
Service in El Paso.
To the untrained eye, it looks like a
tornado but there are differences. A
tornado is a violently rotating column
of air connected to a severe thunder-
storm that reaches down to the
ground. Tornadoes can have damag-
ing wind speeds of up to 300 miles
per hour.
A gustnado forms from very strong
winds pouring out of a thunderstorm.
Where these gustnadoes develop and
gain momentum is right along the
leading edge of these strong outflow
winds. Its not a tornado because it is
not connected to the rotating base of
the severe thunderstorm. To most peo-
ple it looks like a tornado because the
rotating column of air at the surface is
spinning picking up dust and debris
like you would see in a dust devil.
Gustnadoes typically live for a few
seconds to a few minutes and have
winds speed common to a very weak
tornado. Most likely you would expe-
rience gusts around 60 to 80 miles per
hour. I will say these storms are very
hard to warn for since they form
along gust fronts very quickly.
These storms are certainly not some-
thing to take lightly, especially if you
are out riding. But the key to whether
its a tornado or gustnado is to view
the severe thunderstorm base. If its
connected and rotating, watch out!

about $2.9 million in sales tax during the holiday, and the energy efficient products will
also help them save on their utility bills.
The sales tax break applies to ENERGY STAR qualified air conditioners priced at
$6,000 or less refrigerators priced at $2,000 or less ceiling fans fluorescent light bulbs

the military title. Acting Commissioner Colvin
added I have no doubt Majors rising popularity
as a boys name is in tribute to the brave mem-
bers of the U.S. military, and maybe well see
more boys named General in the future. You
also might trace Majors increase in popularity
to a cable TV show. Home by Novogratz is a
popular home design show featuring Major
Novogratz, the youngest son of designers Robert
and Cortney.
The second fastest riser for boys was Gael, and
for girls, Perla. Both names most likely are on
the rise due to the increase in the Spanish-speak-
ing population in the United States. Perla is the
Latinized version of Pearl and is popular among
Hispanic-Americans. Gaels popularity could be
tied to Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal.
Social Security started compiling baby name
lists in 1997, and the agencys website offers
lists of baby names for each year since 1880. So-
cial Security is Americas source for most popu-

information to the agency when applying for a
childs Social Security number at the time of the

The San Spurs have taken a 2-0 lead on Memphis. Tuesday nights game against the
Grizzlies was a really hard fought game but only at the end. San Antonio was dominat-
ing this game and winning by 20 at one point in the 3rd. Memphis caught up and tied the
game forcing this battle into overtime. This series goes to Memphis on Saturday which
gives both teams 4 solid days of rest. Tony Parker is having an MRI today so hopefully
nothing serious is wrong and he can continue this series.
The Indiana Pacers will face the Miami Heat in Game one of whats looking to be a some-
what easy series for Miami. Paul George is averaging 19 pounds in the playoffs com-
pared to Miamis leading scorer in Lebron James at about 27 points per playoff game.
Miami will definitely have an advantage at home and Dwayne Wade will most likely
start tonight.

El Paso Museum of History Presents
An Escaramuza Fashion Show: The elegant Charra suits
Saturday, May 25, 2013 FREE
The El Paso Museum of History,
located at 510 North Santa Fe
Street, is pleased to present An
Escaramuza Fashion Show: the
elegant Charra suits on Satur-
day afternoon, May 25, 2013,
beginning at 2:00 PM. This will
be a live modeling of suits and
dresses worn by the Charras as
they perform the art of Char-
reria. This special show will
complement the current travel-
ing exhibit Charreria: the Arti-
sanship of Mexican Equestrian
Culture for which there is a
small fee. The Fashion Show is
free and open to all.
Join Claudia Moreno-
Baca and members of Escara-
muzas de Nuevo Mexico as they
model all the different fashions
that are worn by the ladies as
they perform the exacting art of
Charreria. Clothing ranging
from practice to performance
dresses to dresses worn for spe-
cial occasions that may or may
not include the horse will be
shown.
One of Mexicos most important cul-
tural traditions, Charreria stems from the Span-
ish inspired charreada a festive event similar to
an American rodeo. The Charreria was born in
the nineteenth century when people from the
large haciendas all over Mexico began to organ-
ize celebrations in which charros could compete
and demonstrate their exceptional talents. By the
end of the century, the sport was introduced to
the United States and Europe, with famed horse-
men like Ponciano Diaz travel-
ing abroad to give demonstra-
tions of charros skills. Today,
men are no longer the sole par-
ticipants in the Charreria. Hun-
dreds of groups of Mexican
cowgirls, or Charras, can be
found competing in an event
called Escaramuza, an eques-
trian ballet first demonstrated in
1953.

Kerrville Main Street Extends
Deadline for Sculpture Submissions
Kerrville, TX (May 1, 2013) - The City of Kerrvilles Main Street program
is extending the deadline for artists entries for their next Public Art Project.
The project, entitled Art in Public Places, will be a rotating sculpture ex-
hibit on the sidewalks of Downtown Kerrville. The original deadline for
submission was April 30th. A four week extension will now allow entries
through end of business Wednesday, May 29, 2013.
Art in Public Places will feature sculptures from Texas artists in up to eight
locations along the streets of Downtown Kerrville. The funding for the Pub-
lic Art Project comes from the events of Kerrville Main Street, including
their 2012 Main Street Moonlight Drive golf tournament and 2013 Mardi
Gras on Main event.
The projected timeline has sculptures being installed and unveiled in late
summer 2013. Selected pieces of art will remain in downtown for 11
months. The goal of the project is to replace the art yearly. Speaking on be-
half of the Design Committee, Kerrville Main Street Manager Misty Kothe
commented, The pieces we are looking to add to downtown will help cre-
ate an awareness of the arts, be educational for both children and adults,
and promote tourism in the area. Additionally, we hope this will continue to
foster the community involvement in our beautiful historic downtown
area.

Sharon Mosley
If you haven't booked your mani-
cure or pedicure, you've still got
time to tune up those tootsies be-
fore you slip into your first pair of
sandals for the season. And you've
also got time to get inspired by all
the news in nail art this summer.
From eye-catching designs to un-
expected colors to optical illusions
... nailing it this year has never been
easier and yes, you can do it your-
self.
"Nail art is fun. Really fun. It's as sim-
ple as that," says Madeline Poole, a
Los Angeles nail stylist and author of
the new DIY book, "Nails! Nails!
Nails!" (14.95, Chronicle Books).
"Nail art is where art, beauty and
fashion unite," says the nail expert,
who includes more than 25 step-
by-step designs for giving your sum-
mer toes and fingers distinctive
personality with leopard prints, to
plaids, stripes, stained glass, lace,
glitter and more.
"Many people come to nail art with
an interest in cosmetics, applying
polish and colors with the same
passion and precision as they do
eyeliner and lipstick," admits Poole,
while "others view it as a fashion ac-
cessory, completing an outfit and
balancing color and texture in the
same way a hat or purse can be a
stylish finishing touch. Still others
enjoy it as an exciting craft, sponta-
neously arranging shapes and col-
ors on the nail like paints on a
canvas, patches on a quilt or
beads on a necklace."
But before that secret artiste genie
emerges from the bottle of nail pol-
ish on your dressing room table,
there are some tips that Poole
shares in her book to get you
started on this latest fashion craze.
When choosing polishes for nail
art projects, Poole advises select-
ing opaque polishes since they re-
quire fewer coats than a more
transparent polish. "The best way to
test the opacity of a polish is to try it
out," she says, "painting a single
stroke down the center of one of
your nails. Can you see the nail
through the polish, or does the pol-
ish cover the nail in a denser layer
of color?
If you want to try a nail polish
and testers are not available,
Poole suggests simply holding the
bottle up the ceiling light and tilting
it sideways. If light passes through
the glass, the polish has low opac-
ity, she says.
But remember, pale polishes
can also be opaque. "Light-col-
ored polishes, such as white and
pale pink can be just as opaque
and highly pigmented as dark pol-
ishes, and vice versa, she says.
"Likewise the thickness of a polish is
not an indicator of opacity. In fact,"
says Poole, "thick, syrupy polishes
are most likely old and should just
be tossed out."
And how many of us have
dozens of bottles of polish lan-
guishing in the back of the bath-
room cabinet? "Nail polishes expire
after a year or two," says Poole. "Ex-
posure to changing temperatures
and humidity can alter the consis-
tency of a polish, so storing in a
bathroom is not recommended.
Make a safe home for your nail art
supplies in a closet and store the
bottles upright and securely
capped."
Nail prep can be simple, ac-
cording to Poole. Just make sure
you remove any old polish, wash
with soap and water and dry hands
thoroughly. Then file nails or clip
nails and wash hands again. Then
you're ready to apply a clear base
coat or primer. After nail art is ap-
plied, a clear top coat is a neces-
sity to seal the underlying polish.
She recommends using a fast-dry-
ing clear topcoat.
Access to nail polish remover is
a must for cleaning up mistakes.
Poole uses a small angled-edge
eyeliner brush to remove stray pol-
ish.
And if you want to enjoy all your
hard work, again and again, then
just add your favorite designs to
false nails and store them between
wearings in small Ziploc bags. You
may also want to team up with a
"partner" to help you with more intri-
cate nail projects.
Don't be afraid to experi-
ment! "If you make a
mistake, simply wipe it
off and start over
or keep going, and
see where it takes
you," adds Poole.
"Let each nail you
decorate represent a
different side of your
personality. Your fin-
ished nails will be stylish,
crafty, beautiful and
uniquely yours, all at
once."

Identity Theft Is Hilarious, but
Its No Laughing Matter
Stealing someone else's personal informa-
tion to commit theft or fraud also
known as identity theft has exploded
into the national consciousness. Credit
card companies now market their security
features, and consumers warily guard
their Social Security numbers. And it
doesn't stop there. The use of stolen So-
cial Security numbers allows thieves to
steal tax refunds, open bank accounts and
do all manner of illegal operations using
another's identity.
Recently, I saw the comedy movie "Iden-
tity Theft." Because it is so entertaining,
the story comes off as fictionalized in a
way that could not possibly play out that
way in real life. The sobering truth is that
this exact scenario is being played out
every day. Unsuspecting people are hav-
ing their identities stolen and their futures
compromised as thieves open credit card
accounts, finance new cars and clean out
bank accounts.
Identity theft has become epidemic! And
it's not just the thievery. It's the months
and even years of hassle and expense
working with police, banks and credit
agencies, trying to get things straightened
out. And in the meantime? The fallout
can be devastating because, when it
comes to identity theft, you're pretty
much guilty until you can prove yourself
innocent. And even then you may never
be made whole.
For me, the risk of having my identity
stolen is so great that I carry insurance.
Lifelock is the company I use because it
has proven to me that it can stay ahead of
thieves. Lifelock monitors my identity,
constantly scanning for threats. And if
something should ever get past them
(hard to imagine, but thieves using so-
phisticated technology are very clever
these days), I have a $1 million dollar
guarantee. That's how much Lifelock will
spend to restore what has been stolen, in-
cluding my money, my good name and
my credit score.
Routinely, I read horror stories from read-
ers who discovered too late just how vul-
nerable they were. What a mess. They file
police reports and contact credit bureaus,
usually with nothing more than a promise
that "we'll get back to you when we can."
I'm not willing to sit around for months
waiting for someone else to find the time
to look at my situation. You should not
be, either. You cannot afford the risk.
Of course, there are other identity theft-
protection plans. Wells Fargo offers two
levels of protection, as does the company
Identity Guard and each comes with
different types of coverage and premi-
ums.
I have chosen Lifelock because I believe
in this company. I've been a satisfied
Lifelock member for nearly a decade and
highly recommend the service. For about
$20 a month, I get cheap insurance from a
reliable company that watches out for me.
It's hard to put a price on peace of mind.
You can get that rate, too, when you go to
Lifelock.com and use the code EC30 to
join. They were also kind enough to not
only give our readers a great discount, but
also 30 days free to get you started.
I laughed during "Identity Theft" not
so much because Jason Bateman and
Melissa McCarthy are hilarious in their
roles, but because I didn't spend one sec-
ond worrying that this could happen to
me.

Gator Aid
Humans naturally come with only two sets of teeth baby
and adult so most of us work pretty hard to hang onto the
latter. Alligators, on the other hand, can be reasonably as-
sured of a toothy grin throughout life. They may replace each
of their 80 teeth as many as 50 times in a lifespan.
Scientists at the University of Southern California are trying
to tap into that admirable regenerative ability. They report
identifying unique cellular and molecular mechanisms un-
derlying the gator's tooth renewal and hope to use the
knowledge to help regrow teeth in adult humans.
"Ultimately, we want to identify stem cells that can be used
as a resource to stimulate tooth renewal in adult humans
who have lost teeth," said study author Cheng-Ming
Chuong. "But, to do that, we must first understand how they
renew in other animals and why they stop in people."
Using microscopic imaging techniques, the researchers
found that each alligator tooth is a complex unit of three
components a functional tooth, a replacement tooth and
the dental lamina in different developmental stages.
The researchers found that the dental laminae contain what
appear to be stem cells from which new replacement teeth
develop. Researchers plan to isolate them to see if it's possi-

humans, but to extrapolate the learned principles of regener-

I'll Do Anything to
Gain Respect
DR. WALLACE: I'm 14, and I have always been overweight. Be-
cause of this, I have never been popular with the other students, and
I'm tired of being a "wallflower." I've tried losing weight, but I'll
never be slim because I have a large body frame. Please tell me
what I can do to be a little overweight and still be a popular person.
I'll do anything to gain respect of my peers. Nameless, Carson
City, Nev.
NAMELESS: Thinness is not a prerequisite to popularity. In fact,
having a less-than-perfect body need not stand in the way of main-
taining an active social life.
How overweight young people perceive themselves can affect the
way others respond to them socially. So says Nutritionist Beth
Laskoski. Often suffering from low self-esteem, those who are over-
weight sometimes view themselves as social outcasts, thinking no
one will like them because of their appearance. This self-conscious-
ness can prevent them from reaching out and making friends, she
adds.
"Sometimes our weight-conscious world overlooks overweight
teens," Laskoski says. "Sometimes they're excluded. But sometimes
they become their own worst enemy and exclude themselves. If you
act like you don't want to be included, then that's what will happen."
Maintaining a positive attitude rather than dwelling on your weight
is important when getting to know people. While people can be at-
tracted to you regardless of what you weigh, no one appreciates
hearing chronic complaints about weight. You can actually invite
others to make snide jokes and remarks about you by putting your-
self down, or always saying you need to go on a diet.
However, overweight people are often the target of fat jokes and
thoughtless comments through no fault of their own. While no one
is exempt from teasing, to the heavy person it can be much more
painful. One way of putting a stop to it is to simply ignore it.
When the overweight blues strike, Susan Tenzer, a New York psy-
chotherapist, suggests a moderate workout or other physical activity
because exercise can actually counter depression. "Being active is
the key to everything, because it revs up the metabolism and also
makes people feel better about themselves," she says. "Ironically,
many people find that once they've accepted the way they look, they
find the motivation to do something about the extra weight. Either
way, they learn to like themselves and to enjoy life as well."
Ideally, the best solution is to improve your self-image and also to
do something about the weight. However, dealing with problems
that stem from being overweight takes time. Begin to build your
self-esteem by focusing on your positive traits, and you will begin
to see yourself as an attractive, interesting and worthwhile person
and, eventually, others will, as well.

unable to reply to all of them individually, he will answer as many as
possible in this column. Email him at rwallace@galesburg.net.

Q: My favorite color is "shocking"
pink. I wear it lots and was all set to
paint our living room walls when my
husband's mother called it a "tacky
color."
Now he's gotten involved big-time,
and I have "lost the courage of my
conviction," to quote my good friend
Tiffany (who thinks I should go on and
paint it what I want).
A: Let's hear it for Tiffany! I'm of the
opinion that there's no such thing as a
"tacky" color. Certainly, no color
Mother Nature designs can be called
tacky. On her palette, your "shocking"
pink becomes "azalea" pink, and who
could ever diss azaleas?
Certainly not one of the great
tastemakers of the 20th century, fash-
ion designer Elsa Schiaparelli. Follow-
ing her own motto, "Dare to be differ-
ent," she's credited with bringing color
to couture make that COLOR! in
caps. Elsa's own fave was the shocking
pink that soon became known as
"Schiaparelli Pink."
By any name, this is a color for the
truly extroverted. But it can add great
energy and excitement to any room
scene. Look how it animates this living
room, created by designer Becky
Mosby (edgevaleinteriors.com) in the
44th annual show house for the Kansas
City Symphony. What Becky has con-
jured is an essentially traditional set-
ting classic furniture and silk
draperies gathered over textured roller
shades (Alustra, by Hunter Douglas,
hunterdouglas.com).
The fun comes from the arm chair that
has an appliqued silk back embroi-
dered in what Becky calls magenta, the
fortissimo color she picks up and
echoes all around the room.
Note how the kiwi-green snakeskin-
textured wall covering makes the pink
really pop! That's because green and
red are complementary colors and pro-
duce great vibes when they're seen to-
gether. The visual alchemy also works
with red's close kin, pink, whether you
name it shocking, Schiaparelli, azalea,
fuchsia or magenta.
We saw the same color fun at
work under more contemporary
circumstances during last
month's 80th Historic Garden
Week tour in Virginia. Never
mind that it was in a classic
Georgian home built in Rich-
mond in 1921 by local archi-
tect and acclaimed
preservationist Duncan Lee.
The current owners have
filled its elegant rooms with a
palette of gold, cream and
uber-pink we'll call it "fuch-
sia," in deference to the owners'
over scaled photo of a peony
that inspired the color scheme.
Fuchsia was the
common color de-
nominator that
unified all the
rooms. But still, visi-
tors' stopped short on
the threshold of the
family room. There
sat a half-dozen
large seating
pieces,
loveseats,
lounges and
such, all bril-
liant in the
same saturated
pink. No won-
der it's often
called "shock-
ing!"
A heads-up for serious home-idea
shoppers: Historic Garden Week hap-
pens every April, opening doors to
houses both historic and private all
across the state of Virginia. It's a feast
of good taste and terrific decorating
and gardening ideas. Mark your calen-
dars for April 26 to May 3,
2014,
and click on vagardenweek.org for de-
tails.

green creates good vibrations in this living room.

This week brings a change of tone
for Mercury and Mars. Mercury
moves into Cancer, which favors a
more emotional style of communica-
tion. Words have the power to make
someone's day or hurt their feelings.
Mars moves into Gemini to add some
rational thought to this emotional stew.
His masculine energy fits Gemini's
witty, logical frame in a manner that in-
spires snappy comebacks and brainy
solutions from both sexes.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Every-
one's brain works differently, so don't
assume you know how others think.
When conventional methods of com-
munication don't work, explore differ-
ent approaches. You may be more
successful demonstrating what you
want others to do instead of merely
pointing out or explaining what needs
doing.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It feels
like you do a million things a day for
others but maybe it's a number
more in the high thousands. Anyway,
it's only natural that some efforts take
on exaggerated importance. Being
selfless can be difficult, especially on
Thursday and Friday, when your con-
tributions may seem to come at a
hefty personal cost.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Children
shift quickly through interests and
moods. Whatever they focus on, that is
their world though it may only be
their world for a few minutes. You'll be
like a child flitting from interest to con-
cern this week. What you care about
matters, but how much? Keep per-
spective. Good feelings and bad will
pass.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You can
buy a place to live, but you can't buy a
home. It's something you have to
make with your hands and your heart.
Loved ones probably won't appreciate
all that you put into your surroundings
now, but they do feel the emotional
warmth radiating from your environ-
ment, and they will continue to be
drawn in.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don't want
to do what's wise beyond your years
now. You want to be young and care-
free even if that means appearing fool-
ish and becoming temporarily broke.
That's why it's extremely beneficial to
have an earth-sign friend around (Tau-
rus, Virgo or Capricorn) to encourage
moderation and minimal risk.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Feeling
good about yourself will empower your
spirit, and you'll be better in every
area of life as a result. Your routine
could use a shakeup. Put more of
yourself into it. Treat this week like it's
just for you. Do what you like doing,
even if it has nothing to do with your
original plans or the agenda of others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Humans
tend to automatically assume that
other humans experience the same
situations even when it's so obviously
not true. You will go against this ten-
dency as you try really try to un-
derstand where another person is
coming from. Your powers of empathy
will grow, and you'll be better than you
were.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If charac-
ter is destiny, as suggested by the
Greek philosopher Heraclitus, then
this week should not only teach you
who you are, but also where you're
going. As you rise to this week's chal-
lenges, you'll learn your strengths and
what you still have to work on in order
to become the person you want to be.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It
takes a high level of confidence to act
without delay, but that confidence is
not always smart. You've no interest in
making bold, foolish choices. You want
to know the facts and see measurable
results before you move. What you
learn this week will help you cut down
on the lag time between thought and
action.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Re-
member when you used to wonder:
"When is my life going to start?" Then
you got to the front of the line and
boarded the roller coaster. You still feel
like you haven't arrived at the good
part of this ride. It's a slow climb, full of
anticipation. But at least you're not still
standing in that long line of people
below.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
know some pretty sneaky people, and
you might find it frustrating that they
never seem to get caught. This week
karma comes tapping them on the
shoulder. "I saw that," says karma.
And you'll finally know that you're not
the only one paying attention.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Ques-
tions are among the most important
tools we use in life. To ask takes
courage. Many people don't ask be-
cause they are afraid their question
will be seen as an imposition or as a
sign of lower intelligence. No one is
born knowing. Those who are put out
by a question should be examined
more closely.
THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You
have a powerful personal presence,
and people believe you'll do what you
set out to do. You'll attract new work
next month, and this will allow you to
settle a debt. July brings interesting
social developments, and you'll find
yourself spending time with a different
group and loving it. Education in Au-
gust will lead to deeper studies. You'll
update your style, and how you get
around will be part of that in Septem-
ber. Family discussions are dicey this
year. Stay neutral and keep the peace.

DEAR ABBY: I was sur-
prised to see you equate a con-
cerned grandmother's creative
solution to smoking with
bribery in your Feb. 14 column.
The word "bribe" has a nega-
tive connotation. What the
grandmother did was offer an
incentive, NOT a bribe, that
will benefit her grandchildren
in the long run. I think the
woman should be congratu-
lated.
Now for a disclaimer:
When my daughter was 14, I
came up with the same idea in
the form of a wager. I bet her
that if she could resist peer
pressure and not become a
smoker by the time she was 21,
I would buy her the dress of her
dreams. To my delight, she
won the bet. By then she was
studying to become a marine
biologist, so instead of a dress,
the money went toward a wet-
suit.
At 43, she's still a
nonsmoker and she has now
made that same bet with her
children. It's the best money I
ever spent. -- RETIRED CLIN-
ICAL SOCIAL WORKER
DEAR R.C.S.W.: Oh me, oh
my, did I get clobbered for my
response to that letter. Out of
the hundreds of letters and
emails received, only ONE per-
son agreed with me. The rest
were smokin' mad. Read on:
DEAR ABBY: In my many
years as a school psychologist,
I have counseled hundreds of
parents and teachers about
dealing with behavioral issues
in children. I often make the
distinction between a "bribe"
and a "reward" by describing a
bribe as something you give
someone to do something dis-
honest, while a reward is given
for doing something commend-
able. What she did was reward
their good choice in not devel-
oping a potentially fatal habit. -
- OLD-SCHOOL
PSYCHOLOGIST
DEAR ABBY: When you
give someone money for some-
thing that has already been
completed, it's a paycheck and
not a bribe. It was pointed out
to me that few of us would con-
tinue to go to work if we
weren't paid for it, and those
grandchildren were being paid
for "work" that was already
completed. It's an important
distinction that may be helpful
for parents and other adults to
understand. -- FORMER
SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
DEAR ABBY: I disagree
with your answer! What that
grandmother did was RE-
WARD her grandchildren, not
bribe them. A lot of pressure is
put on teens, and it takes con-
siderable willpower and matu-
rity to avoid some of these
temptations.
At 16 or 17, it is hard
for them to imagine being over
30, and none of them can imag-
ine being 60 or 70 with lung
disease. Hooray for grandpar-
ents who can help them avoid
adopting a life-threatening
habit in any way they can! --
GRANDMOTHER IN IOWA
DEAR ABBY: I told my son
I would give him $1,000 at the
age of 21 if he didn't smoke. It
wasn't bribery. It was a great
tool to combat peer pressure.
Whenever he was offered a cig-
arette, he could simply say he
had a better offer. Not only did
it work, the other kids were en-
vious. -- MICHIGAN MOM
DEAR ABBY: My pre-teen
daughter was devastated when
her maternal grandfather died
from the effects of emphysema.
In spite of it, she took up smok-
ing in her teens. We threatened
her, grounded her, took away
privileges, even tried guilt
trips. Nothing worked. Her
choice to smoke was influ-
enced by her peer group.
I would have mort-
gaged our home, sold our pos-
sessions and borrowed money
from the bank if I thought I
could have altered her choice
by bribing her. By the way, she
has been diagnosed with pre-
cancerous cells, but even this
hasn't been enough to cause her
to quit. -- WOULD HAVE
DONE ANYTHING

Working, Learning, Cruising in Alaska
By Sheila Sobell and Richard
N. Every
HAINES, Alaska If I bend
over any farther, I will be
swimming with the tadpoles.
While my friends aboard Hol-
land America's Zaandam cruise
to Alaska are zip- lining in the
treetops, glacier-walking or
dog-sledding, I am counting
tadpoles in a pond and estimat-
ing the length of their tails to
determine their age. It's almost
like counting grains of sand,
but sand won't tell a woman if
she's in "the family way."
Frogs did, however, in the
1930s. If a South African
clawed frog went into overdrive
producing eggs eight hours
after it was injected with a
woman's urine, she could start
buying a layette. Easier and
cheaper than a rabbit for pre-
dicting pregnancy, these frogs
became the hot ticket, exported
around the world to bring the
good or bad news to women.
Scientists think they delivered
something else - a fungal dis-
ease that wiped out a third of
the amphibian population.
As part of my "be a scientist for
a day" shore excursion, I am
counting the boreal tadpoles
under the direction of Alaska
Nature Tours Ranger Pamela T.
Randles. The data will help the
Takeshanuk Watershed Council
monitor the numbers of toads
on the comeback trail and how
far they are migrating to find a
mate that is not a relative.
"We train citizen scientists to
count tadpole numbers and life
stages," Randles explains.
"When the tadpoles emerge, we
follow them to see how fast and
far they go, using DNA evi-
dence to determine which pop-
ulations are growing and in
which direction they are ex-
panding."
The Holland America Line in-
troduced its "cruise with pur-
pose" program in 2009 to
combine traditional tour con-
tent with volunteer opportuni-
ties such as participating in
sea-turtle releases, document-
ing whale "fingerprints," man-
ning an underwater microphone
to record their songs and identi-
fying invasive vegetation. It
feels good to do something for
Mother Earth apart from recy-
cling my soda cans.
Ketchikan We are
bused to the Saxman Native
Village. When we pull up to the
Beaver Clan House, my heart
sinks. The Tlingits' longhouse
looks like a huge aluminum-
sided recreation hall. Inside a
few young people are setting up
for what feels like a high school
production.
Suddenly women, men, kids
and the chief take the stage
chanting and doing what looks
like a shuffle-shuffle two-step.
When they stop, a troop of
young women in spectacular
costumes transform primitive
steps into amazing grace. They
may have told this story hun-
dreds of times, but they care
about their clan's history and
tell it with authenticity. The au-
dience gets into it, and it's a
sweet moment of cultural ex-
change.
The nearby Saxman Totem
Park is home to one of the
greatest collections of totems in
the world. Our driver points to
one of the totems and says it is
always placed first because of
its message.
"Indian children were taught to
tell their family where they
were going, when they were re-
turning and which friend they
were taking with them," he
says. "But one little boy broke
all the rules. He went down to
the shore and saw a very big
clamshell. Something inside
was glowing maybe a pearl.
He ignored all the rules in his
rush to get its prize. He waded
into the water and struggled to
open the shell. Then tragedy
struck. The clamshell closed on
the boy's hand. The tide started
coming in, and the clamshell
slipped down between the rocks
taking the boy with him. No
one knew where he was, and he
had no friend with him to send
for help."
Juneau I don't need to
trek the glaciers in order to get
a stunning view of waterfalls,
rainforests and ice floes. The
thrilling Five-Glacier Seaplane
Exploration Tour takes me soar-
ing over the five different gla-
ciers that comprise the 1,500
square miles of the Juneau ice
field. Continues on next page

Continued from page 18...The fifth largest in
North America, it is bigger than Rhode Island. It
glows blue, reflecting light from the sun. Though
these glaciers look totally uninhabitable, they are
actually home to birds, insects and ice worms.
High in the clouds, it's an amazing change in per-
spective from "sea level" on the Zaandam to "sky
level" on the floatplane. The in-flight narration
leaves passengers with the warning of a possible
major ice age in 10,000 to 30,000 years if there is
a greenhouse effect that causes global warming.
Icefields and polar icecaps would melt, causing
world sea levels to rise.
I think I am getting an ecological mi-
graine. Time for a glass of wine, but
what to order?
The new school of white Burgundy led by the
Bret brothers in the Macon are making mind-
blowing Chardonnay for under $30, says HAL's
sommelier, Sam Maltby. There are dozens of de-
licious Sauternes for $20 a bottle, he tells us.
Two people can share one of life's great taste sen-
sations Sauternes and blue cheese for about
$10 each. For $100 it's possible to enjoy one of
the world's greatest white wines, Nicolas Joly's
La Coulee de Serrant.
"True wine is about people, place and time, both
from the perspective of its production and its
consumption," Maltby says. "If it tastes like it
could be made by anybody anywhere at any time,
then it will never be truly wine."

Alternatives to Gas
Gas prices have many of us
looking at investing in alter-
native fueled vehicles. Be-
fore you buy your next car,
take a look at greener vehi-
cles soon available in our
country.
Honda first introduced gas-electric hy-
brids in 1999 with the Insight, which
claimed 70 mpg and the title of most fuel-
efficient car on the market. Toyota Prius
came in second at 50 mpg, but quickly sold
more units, as the Prius is a midsized car
and still on the market. Currently there are
many hybrids on the market, but few can
touch the Prius in fuel economy. Aftermarket
improvements on the Prius include an up-
dated battery pack that will give the hybrid
up to 100 mpg by allowing it to be plugged
into an electric outlet. The drawback on this
plug in kit is that it voids Toyota warranties,
is expensive and requires installation by a
trained mechanic.
Purely electric cars were in-
troduced in 1950s with the
Henney Kilowatt. Low gas prices
kept sales slow until General Motors up-
graded the design to the EV-01. Although
very popular and pricey, GM pulled the EV-
01 off the market and destroyed its entire in-
ventory, causing many to speculate on GM's
motives. Nissan seems to have picked up
where GM left off with the introduction of the
EV-02 Cube in 2012. Nissan's electric car
will have a range of more than 100 miles be-
tween overnight charges. This is accom-
plished by improving battery technology by
making batteries flat, and more compact,
rather than cylindrical cells. This improve-
ment solves the main problem with electric
cars, which historically had only a 30-mile
range. New electric cars are being designed
that may act as storage units for the electri-
cal grid system. They feed electricity back to
the grid during times of peak demand, like
when their owners are sitting in air-condi-
tioned offices during midday heat.
Solar cars would be electric
vehicles directly powered by
solar panels attached to the
car. So far, solar engineers have yet to
overcome the pitfalls of collecting enough
solar energy to power a car for great dis-
tances at highway speeds and overcoming
the weight of the solar panels and battery
systems. These shortcomings may be
solved by inventive racers in the World Solar
Challenge and the North American Solar
Challenge, sponsored by the United States
Department of Energy. Some automakers
have small-scale electric cars that can be
plugged into solar arrays to recharge. Most
of these cars are not street legal yet. It is a
short time before plug in electric vehicles
can be charged by solar or wind-powered
generators creating the cleanest and green-
est vehicles on the market.
Compressed air engines are
emissions-free piston engines in-
vented by Frenchman Guy Negre
in the 1990s. This car uses pressurized
air through a conventional fuel injection sys-
tem to power the vehicle for a range of 100
miles carrying four or five passengers. The
only exhaust is cold air, which could be recir-
culated as air conditioning. A tank of air
would cost about $3, and take about three
minutes at a service station. The downside
is finding a service station with the equip-
ment to compress air to the required density.
These cars are not scheduled for release in
our country, but are expected to be available
in the next few years in Europe and Central
America.
Rising gas prices have many of looking to-
wards alternative fuels.
Water-powered cars are just an
urban legend at this point with each
example turning out to be either a
hydrogen-fueled car or a fraud. A kit
can be purchased online for less than $50 that
claims to improve fuel efficiency of gasoline-
powered engines by injecting water into the mix,
but that claim has yet to be proven scientifically.
The only water-powered car that has been on
the American market was actually a steam-pow-
ered car called the Stanley Steamer in 1906.
Hydrogen-powered cars are
mainly electric cars powered by an
onboard fuel cell that generates
electricity through a hydrogen/oxy-
gen reaction. The benefits are no carbon
emissions, since the fuel cell only emits heat
and water. Ford has already manufactured a
fleet of fuel celled Focus, proving that fuel cell
vehicles can be mass-produced. However, there
is still the problem of hydrogen infrastructure
and the lack of refilling stations and lightweight
hydrogen storage. Fuel cell cars are also exorbi-
tantly expensive, putting them out of the price
range of the average consumer at well over
$50,000.
Compressed Natural Gas cars
use mainly methane (byproduct of
landfills) to fuel normal combustion
engines instead of gasoline. Combus-
tion of methane produces the least amount of
carbon emissions of all fossil fuels. Most gaso-
line cars can be retrofitted to become bifuel run-
ning on natural gas as well as regular gasoline.
There are already an estimated 5 million CNG
vehicles running worldwide, including cars like
Honda Civics and GM released a multifuel vehi-
cle in Brazil that runs on CNG, ethanol and reg-

Awareness in Motion: Turn Your
Walk Into Your Workout
This we all know: Walk-
ing is a wonderful way to
exercise. It calms your
mind, juices your joints,
and makes you stronger
so you can last longer. If
all of us began our day
with a 30-minute romp
around the neighborhood,
enjoying the fresh air,
breathing in, breathing
out, saying hello to the
birds, air-kissing the
flowers, our world would
be a better place. At least
for those 30 minutes.
Any style of walking is admirable
when you're just getting started,
but there comes a time when it
makes sense to pick up the pace
and add some moisture to your
brow, so your walk becomes your
workout. Here's how to do it:
GIVE YOURSELF A
HEADS-UP. Start walking
your usual comfortable way, and
after five minutes, flip on your
Posture Awareness switch. Feel
your body in space. Is your head
jutting forward? Your chin pulled
down? Are your shoulders
rounded? All these misalignments
can produce pain and tightness
over time. You'll feel tired more
quickly because you aren't able to
breathe as well as you would if
you were walking with your chin
level, with your spine aligned. Be
sure that your head is sitting bal-
anced between your shoulders, not
too far forward, not too far back.
CHECK THOSE
SHOULDERS. It's very
common to walk with your shoul-
ders lifted instead of relaxed. To
feel the difference, do what yogis
do and assume the Banker's Pose.
Try it now. Stand up, and lift up
your shoulders, toward your ears.
Then slowly, with awareness, roll
them up and back and feel your
shoulder blades moving toward
each other, on your upper back.
This will create a joyous spacious-
ness in your chest and open up
your heart. When you're walking,
or driving, or just living your life,
this is a very good thing.
MOVE YOUR
ARMS. You'll be surprised
how much more powerful your
stride gets once you bring your
upper body into play. Don't tense
your arms when you walk. Just
allow them to swing in a relaxed
and easy way in opposition to
your feet. Keep your elbows
tucked into your side (as opposed
to flying elbows), arms bent at
about 90 degrees, hands loose and
tension-free. The more you pump
those arms, the more energized
your walking.
WORK THOSE
HIPS. Race walkers get a lot of
forward thrust and speed from
their exaggerated hip wiggle. You
can, too. Think about your leg
starting at your waist. As your
right leg comes forward, so should
your right hipbone in a loose and
natural rotation. Then your left.
The more hip action you add, the
more power you'll have.
PULL IN YOUR
TUMMY. As you walk, be
aware of pulling in your abdomi-
nal muscles and your gluteals
(butt muscles). Think about press-
ing your belly button toward your
spine and holding it there with-
out holding your breath. Walking
with this kind of body awareness
and muscular effort can really
help tighten those areas that tend
to get loose and flabby as we age.
GO FOR THE ROLL.
To cover more distance at greater
speed, it's a matter of technique,
not stride length. For maximum
efficiency, learn to walk heel-ball-
toe style. That means you focus on
landing (gently) on your heel,
your toes flexed to the sky. Then
roll through the foot, using your
big toe to give your body a power-
ful push forward so that all your
muscles from your lower
calves to your glutes are awake
and engaged.
Walking in the ways I'm describ-
ing definitely makes for a better
workout, but please, be careful not
to overdo it. Step up your pace
gradually. And expect a little mus-
cle soreness, especially in your
shins once you start doing that
rolling step, ending with your toes
flexed. Welcome it, and drink
some extra water.
And finally, it's a worthy goal to
turn your walk into a workout, but
don't push so hard you forget it's
supposed to be fun. Walk with a
friend listen to a book or your fa-
vorite band challenge yourself
with occasional sprints focus on
your breath.
And when you've finished your
walk, take a minute to soak up all
the good feelings you've just gen-
erated. Close your eyes. Put your
hand over your heart. This is what
joy feels like.

Can a Preschooler Learn the
Value of Money?
Dear Carrie, My 4-year old
loves to bring the money she
gets from her grandparents to
the store to buy treats. I don't
have the heart to tell her when
she doesn't have enough, so I
usually make up the difference.
But I'd like her to begin to learn
the value of money. Is she too
young to understand? And when
should I start giving her an al-
lowance? A Reader
Dear Reader, I've always believed that chil-
dren can learn meaningful lessons about
money at a very early age. In fact, by about
age 3, they're listening and learning from
us whether we're aware of it or not. When
we take our kids to the grocery store, to the
bank or clothes shopping, even if we don't
include them in the transactions, they're
picking up signals and attitudes about
money and how we handle it. Why not turn
these passive experiences into active learn-
ing opportunities?
Your 4-year old is already aware that
money has value it can be used to buy
something special. So now would be a per-
fect time to help her understand that there
are limits to what money can buy, and also
that she may have to make a choice. There
are some fun ways to do this.
Start with a simple
piggy bank
At 4, your daughter is probably a proficient
counter, so help her learn more about the
value of money by first putting any coins
she gets into a piggy bank. Periodically
take the coins out so she can count them.
At the same time, you can help her identify
what they are, and what each is worth, i.e.,
10 pennies make a dime, 5 nickels make a
quarter.
Once she's accumulated enough to buy
something even a dollar or two ex-
plain to her that different things cost differ-
ent amounts of money. Then, when you go
to the store together, you can look at price
tags and discuss what that means. Let her
select an item that she can afford, pay for
it, get a receipt and keep any change to put
back in the piggy bank. She'll probably be
proud of her successful transaction.
To keep this lesson going, you can do some
comparison shopping and let her handle
small purchases whenever appropriate
Introduce a fun
way to save for
something special
Saving is another money lesson kids can
learn at a young age. I'd start now to help
your daughter understand that she may
have to wait to buy the things she wants.
For instance, the next time she has her
heart set on something, talk with her about
how much it costs and tell her she can save
her money until she has enough to buy it.
You might have her decorate a special jar
for that particular savings goal. As she gets
money from her grandparents, have her put
it in the savings jar. Think how excited
she'll be when she finally goes with you to
make the purchase with the money she's
saved.
Consider an
allowance at
about age five
An allowance gives kids a chance to have
money of their own on a regular basis and
learn to manage it. Ages 5 to 8 is about the
right time to start.
There are different points of view on
whether to tie an allowance to household
chores. Whatever you decide, be very clear
about your daughter's responsibilities and if
you expect her to pay for certain things
with her own money.
How much you give is up to you (you
might talk to other parents to get the going
rate), but it should be enough so that your
daughter can actually use it in a meaningful
way, making spending and saving deci-
sions. With a young child, I'd keep the
amount small and make it weekly. You can
change the parameters as your daughter
gets older, increasing the amount and time
frame and perhaps the responsibilities that
go along with the allowance.
The most important thing with an al-
lowance is to let kids make their own
spending decisions and learn from their
own mistakes. Don't jump immediately to
the rescue if you daughter misspends.
Rather, help her work through the situation
and make better decisions the next time.
Enjoy every
milestone
I applaud you for starting your daughter's
financial education early. As she gets older,
you can help her through other money
milestones like making a first big purchase,
buying a car and saving for college. These
real-life experiences will give you the
chance to teach her important financial les-
sons and give your daughter the chance to
take pride in her accomplishments. Most
importantly, you'll be setting her on a solid
path to financial independence. To me,
that's the real value.

Red Meats, Fried Foods
Fuel Heart Attacks,
Strokes, Death
Is there anything more Ameri-
can and delicious than a Texas-
size T-bone steak with French
fries fixed just the way
Grandma used to? Just writing
about it makes my mouth
water. And how often does the
"All American Breakfast,"
consisting of fried eggs, bacon,
grits and two biscuits with
gravy, tempt me?
Like so many of my peers, it
took a heart attack to change
my habits.
It's not surprising that the
Western diet is unhealthy. A re-
cent study published in the
American Journal of Medicine
followed 3,800 men and 1,600
women, with an average age of
51, from 1985 to 2009. Re-
searchers monitored their diet
and assessed their mental and
physical abilities.
Those who "aged ideally"
maintained excellent strength,
cognitive function and had no
chronic diseases. Those who
"aged normally" had few
chronic diseases and average
mental and physical abilities.
By the end of this study, 73
percent aged normally and 4
percent aged ideally.
None of the subjects who con-
sumed a typical Western diet
aged ideally. They were much
more likely to have heart dis-
ease and physical and cogni-
tive disabilities. Furthermore,
consuming the Western diet
was associated with higher
death rates from cardiac and
noncardiac causes.
The typical Western diet is
high in saturated animal fats
and rich in the unhealthy
Omega-6 fatty acids. Many
foods are fried, and sugary
drinks and rich desserts are
common.
While deep-fried foods may
taste great, they are definitely
not good for your health. Most
of their calories come from fat,
which, because of the frying
process, becomes saturated,
and the predominant fatty
acids are the omega-6s. All sat-
urated fats, irrespective of the
source, and all omega-6 fatty
acids increase cholesterol and
triglyceride levels and that in
turn leads to atherosclerosis,
which is the underlying cause
of coronary artery disease,
strokes and impaired blood
supply to the lower limbs. The
problem is made worse as
many restaurants add trans fats
to their fryers to improve sta-
bility, allowing the oils to be
used for longer periods of
time. And the longer they are
used for frying, the worse the
health effects.
And then there is a problem
with red meat. The higher the
fat content, the tastier the meat.
Until recently, it was thought
that red meat increased the risk
of vascular disease exclusively
because of its high content of
saturated fats and omega-6
fatty acids. Producing leaner
cuts of meat and grilling rather
than frying was thought to be
healthier. Similarly, organic
red meat is said to be healthier
as meat from grass-fed cattle
has higher concentrations of
the healthier omega 3 fatty
acids.Continues on next page
Dr. David Lipschitz
The savaGe TruTh on MoneY BY TerrY savaGe
Sadly, fat content is not the only reason red
meat is unhealthy.
New research
published
in the
journal
Nature
Medi-
cine
has
shown
that bacte-
ria in the bowel con-
vert carnitine, a chemical
contained in red meat, into a
compound called trimethylamine-N-oxide
(TMAO), which enters the blood stream
and damages blood vessels. This in turn fa-
cilitates the deposition of cholesterol, lead-
ing to significant vascular disease.
The researchers also showed that a diet high
in carnitine stimulated the proliferation of
these bacteria causing greater production of
trimethylamine-N-oxide and, hence, a
higher risk of severe vascular disease. Sub-
jects consuming a diet high in red meat had
higher levels of carnitine and the damaging
oxide in their blood and a much greater risk
of heart attacks and strokes. By contrast,
vegetarians and vegans had low carnitine
and TMAO levels and a much lower risk of
vascular disease.
If we want to live long and live well, we
must consider how and what we eat. It may
not be how much but which foods we eat
that contribute to longevity and disease-free
life. Every day more and more evidence
touts the Mediterranean diet that is rich in
fish, nuts, olive oil and abundant fruits and
vegetables.
If you must have those delicious foods that
we grew up with, moderation is the key. We
must saute rather than fry, keep animal fats
to a minimum, stick to olive and canola oil,
eat lots of fruits and vegetables and limit
red meats to one serving a week. Our hearts
and even our brains will thank us for it.

Buying Life Insurance
My mention of life insurance in a re-
cent columns resulted in questions
about life insurance on my Q&A
blog at TerrySavage.com. It made me
realize that life insurance is no
longer being "sold" as it was to our
parents' generation. In those days, a
life insurance salesman made an ap-
pointment that consumed an entire
evening, presenting rows of boring
numbers and insurance jargon. Usu-
ally they bought insurance just to get
rid of the salesman!
Fast forward to today, when most of
the easiest policies are sold online,
with open and competitive prices
driving away the opportunity for
sales agents to make big commis-
sions. Only the more complex types
of policies, typically sold to wealth-
ier prospects, generate individualized
sales attention.
Since simple term life insurance
isn't being "sold" anymore, an
entire generation may not learn
the lessons of the importance of
insurance. It's a subject that's
easy to overlook. But not pur-
chasing life insurance means the
people who are dependent on
your income are exposed to fi-
nancial crisis in the case of your
untimely death.
And since you don't like thinking
about an early death, you have one
more reason to avoid the subject of
life insurance. That is very short-
sighted.
Few people would turn down a "bet"
on a horserace or a stock market tip
if they knew, for sure, that it would
pay off. It's just human nature to
want to bet on a "sure thing."
Well, that's the one thing you can say
about life insurance. None of us gets
out of here alive, so eventually your
life insurance will pay off. You just
don't know when. That's the only un-
certainty in this deal.
But since none of us knows "when"
our time will come, it's important to
start thinking about covering the pos-
sibilities when you're young and
healthy, while an insurance company
is willing to take the other side of
that bet at a reasonable cost to you.
Remember, the insurer doesn't have
any better idea of "when" than you
do, so it spreads its risk by insuring
many lives, figuring that statistics
will allow them to make money on
the entire pool of risk.
That allows you to sleep well at
night, knowing that your risk of fac-
ing an untimely death is at least cov-
ered by life insurance.
By now you're ready to argue that
there is a BIG difference between the
risks of placing a bet on a horserace
and buying life insurance. If you win
the horserace bet, you get to enjoy
the money! But you won't be around
to see the life insurance payout. That
will go to your heirs, presumably
your family, loved ones or a charity
you designate.
That's the first question you must ask
yourself when the subject of life in-
surance comes up: Do I need life in-
surance?
If no one is depending on your in-
come (current and future), then you
might not need life insurance. Surely,
you have enough savings to pay for a
funeral service, or perhaps a small
policy that comes from your employ-
ment will cover those final costs.
But if you have a young family, then
you need to start thinking about not
only the immediate need for cash in
the year of your death, but all those
years ahead, when a mortgage must
be paid, when college costs come
along, and all of the other expenses
of raising a family will face those
you leave behind.
While it's relatively easy to calculate
the value of a salary that should grow
over the years, there are other aspects
to loss that are priceless. How do you
replace the services of a mother, who
raises the children, drives the car-
pool, cleans the house, and generally
loves and nurtures the family? Some-
one will have to step in and likely
at a significant financial cost.
It all adds up. And that's the most
basic reason to purchase life insur-
ance because you care about those
who are dependent on your presence
and would be left without resources
in your absence.
Adding up those potential costs is
simple math. You don't want your
loved ones to be impoverished by
your absence. Ask yourself: How
long will they keep living like this,
and how much money will have to be
provided to make that happen?
Once you've answered those two
questions how much and how
long you're ready to go online to a
site like AccuQuote.com or Ter-
mQuote.com and start the process of
pricing and purchasing a policy.
Of course, there are other reasons to
buy life insurance, reasons that go far
beyond simple risk coverage. Many
people purchase life insurance to ac-
cumulate extra money they can bor-
row out of their policy on a tax-free
basis in case the need arises. There
are estate-planning reasons to hold a
life insurance in a trust, in order to
pay the hefty taxes if you die
wealthy.
But for most people, the simple rea-
son for buying life insurance is to
protect the people they love from fi-
nancial need if death comes unex-
pectedly early.
I'm superstitious about life insurance
and you should be, too. No one
likes to think about mortality. But,
now that you've given just this fleet-
ing thought about what would hap-
pen to those who depend on you,
you're tempting fate if you procrasti-
nate about buying life insurance. And
that's my Savage Truth!

OPER: Digital

crosoft Xbox
360 (PS3)
PRICE: $59.99
ESRB RATING: Teen
REVIEW RATING: 2.0 stars
(out of 5)
As a big fan of "Star Trek: The
Next Generation," I wasn't ex-
pecting much from the recent
"Star Trek" reboot movie.
Much
to my surprise, it
managed to keep me ... err ...
engaged throughout the entire
adventure. With high hopes for
the movie-based video game, I
was saddened to discover that
it's reminiscent of the last gen-
eration of movie-tie-ins that are
rushed to release despite many
flaws.
Taking place after the afore-
mentioned reboot and before
the upcoming sequel, the story
revolves around the reptilian
Gorn aliens introduced way
back in the original "Star Trek"
TV series. Apparently,
they have
stolen
a valu-
able
power
source
that is
needed by
the Vulcans, so Kirk and Spock
team up to retrieve it by contin-
ually trudging through death-
defying sequences.
This title was designed with co-
operative game play in mind,
and if you must play, I highly
suggest using two people. Kirk
and Spock are no dynamic duo
in either mode, but the artificial
intelligence that controls Spock
is much more infuriating than
his haughty attitude! Not only
does he frequently run into the
line of fire, but he also seems
like more of a burden than an
ally.
Even in coop mode, the shoot-
ing sequences are dull and the
Gorn A.I. is laughable. Whether
the aiming reticule stays on-
screen during cut-scenes, the
camera shakes violently for no
reason, or the Gorn run right
past players to take cover, it's
obvious that this game could
use a few more light-years in
development.
The only impressive aspect of
"Star Trek: The Video Game"
are the intricately detailed visu-
als and authentic voice actors.
Other enjoyable aspects include
the ability to switch between
stun and kill on phasers and the
multiple uses of the tricorder.
At this rate, gamers will have to
wait until warp speed becomes
a reality to get a decent "Star
Trek" game.

A Center Hall = Living Central
Q: We are moving from our
l960s ranch house into our
family's "old manse," a mid-
l9th-century Georgian-style
house that's been handed down
to us from a great-great-aunt.
It's quite a change! For one
thing, there's a wide (15 feet)
center hall that runs from the
front porch to the back door.
What's the appropriate way to
furnish such a space?
A: First, appreciate it! You've
been blessed with the l9th-cen-
tury version of air-condition-
ing. The flow-through hall is a
brilliant example of what we
think of today as eco-friendly
architecture that is, building
to harness nature to your ad-
vantage. Your "manse" is no
doubt oriented to the prevailing
breezes so they could blow in
one end of the house and out
the other.
My grandparents' Virginia
farmhouse has such a wide,
graceful hall. I used to think as
a child that it's big enough to
hold a wedding reception. In-
deed, Grandmother Bennett
treated it like an extra sitting
room and furnished it with a
sofa, side chairs, lamps and a
runner rug. (I'd have added a
drop-leaf table just in case a
wedding reception was called
for.)
In l916, Corinne and Gari
Melchers also furnished their

....or frequent vintage saloons you may recog-
nize Melchers as an eminent artist who hung with
the likes of Childe Hassam and Paul Manship
and helped found the Smithsonian's National
Gallery of Art in Washington.
At the height of his career, Melchers painted mu-
rals for the Chicago Exposition and Library of
Congress,and took commissions from Vander-
bilts, Roosevelts and Mellons. He was also fond
of painting the kind of lovely nudes that often
hang over bars in toney clubs and pubs.
Eclipsed for a time by changing tastes, Melchers
is back on the art charts and drawing admirers to
Belmont, where his studio and their house are
open to the public (including this very week, the
80th Historic Garden Week in Virginia, when
houses both historic and private are on tour all
across the state vagardenweek.org).
Learn more about both Melchers, the artist and
Belmont, the estate, now overseen by the Univer-
sity of Mary Washington, just across the Rappa-
hannock River (mwc.edu/Belmont).
Q: There's this small, odd room in our apart-
ment. The real estate agent called it "the maid's
room" (there's a tiny bath, too). We're trying to
turn it into a TV room. What color should we
paint to make it look larger?
A: Two thoughts here: 1.) Conventional wisdom
says light colors will make spaces look larger 2.)
Being unconventional can work special magic in
small spaces.
I vote that you be unconventional and forget
paint: Find a fab, over-scaled, even outrageous,
wallpaper and watch how it blows out the walls
in a tiny room. For starters, click on
yorkwall.com and look up a stunner of a wallpa-
per called "Great Expectations."
It's a drop-dead cityscape all tall buildings
done up in black, gray, white, metallics and more
on eco-friendly recycled paper. The monotone
palette and super-scale of the high-rise architec-
ture will turn your tiny space into a huge hit!

hattan Style" and six other books on
interior design.

Q: I am confused about furni-
ture arranging. My mother-in-
law has everything in twos in
her living room (except the
sofa): two club chairs, two side
tables, two lamps, all matching,
even twin cubes for the cocktail
table. Is this the right way to
go? Seems so formal.
A: Symmetrical balance is
classic, ergo, it feels more for-
mal than an asymmetrical furni-
ture arrangement. However,
formality is not necessarily a
by-product of symmetry,
as you can gather from the
photo we show here. Nearly
every element in this room is
counter-balanced by its alter-
ego (or a close look-alike), but
still, the overall mood is lively,
fresh and totally "today," thanks
to designer Jonathan Adler.
A potter gone slightly mad
in the most joyous sense of the
word Jonathan moved from
wheel-throwing clay in his par-
ents' New Jersey basement as a
young teen to an international
chain of 20-plus stores now
filled with his furniture, fabrics
and fun accessories, brightly in-
fluenced by mid-century mod-
ern style and colors
(jonathanadler.com).
This room, with its vigorous
mix of patterns and interplay of
colors, is formally balanced,
yes, but formal, it's definitely
not.
By the way, Jonathan is also an
author of upbeat books like
"My Prescription for Anti-De-
pressive Living," and a de-
signer of news-making interi-
ors, among them, Mattel's
Barbie TM Dream House, cele-
brating you-know-whose 50th
Anniversary in 2009.
Jonathan isn't the only designer
with a prescription for "Anti-
Depressive Living." The recent
Furniture Market in High Point
fairly vibrated with color and
innovative ideas for putting
more fun under your roof.
The Madcap Cottage duo, John
Loecke and Jason Oliver
Nixon, cheerfully "banished the
beige and the boring" in the
breakfast room they designed
for the sprawling l930s-vintage
show house mounted during
Market by the Junior League of
Greensboro. No ordinary "cot-
tage" ever saw the likes of..
Take the Formal Edge Off
With Zany Color, Pattern
Continued from page 40... their up-
scaled wallflowers and fabrics, pur-
ple furniture and vintage paneling
painted exuberant turquoise.
No surprise that John and Jason
Oliver cite effusive decorators Rose
Cumming and Dorothy Draper
among their influences. They also
adore Doris Day, whose l959-hit
movie, "Pillow Talk," segues neatly
into their Madcap Cottage collection
of personality pillows for C.R. Laine.
Expensive, yes, at $186 to $250, but,
as John points out, "Buy a pillow,
change your entire room." Not such
madcap thinking, after all
(www.madcapcottage.com).
We had the same reaction when we
happened upon an enterprise called
Primitive Twig during the Furniture
Market. Sculptors Bill Finks and wife
Marcia travel the globe exhuming
oddments like old dolls heads and
limbs, tin toys and vintage lamp parts
to reassemble into unsettling and
undeniably original artworks that
have been featured in such chi-chi
stores as Bergdorf Goodman, NYC.
Take a look at primitivetwig.com.
Another oldie is a goodie again:
famed fashion house Scalamandre
has revived the glam "Le Zebre" col-
lection first designed in l945 by Flora
Scalamandre and famously installed
in the New York Italian restaurant,
Gino of Capri. Prancing across a bril-
liant red background, its black-and-
white zebras have made cameo
appearances in movies like "Mighty
Aphrodite" and "The Royal Tennen-
baums." Now they're back and rarin'
to dramatize the homes of the brave
(scalamandre.easternaccents.com).

Barking dogs benefit from training
and elimination of bark triggers
By Gina Spadafori
Universal Uclick
At this time of year, our win-
dows open up to sweet scents
of spring and the headache-
inducing annoyance of the
neighborhood nuisance barker.
Is this dog yours?
The owners of problem barkers
seem to develop an ability to
ignore the noise that has their
neighbors thinking of legal ac-
tion or worse. But a dog
whos barking night and day
isnt having any more fun than
the neighbors are, and you owe
it to both your pet and those
who can hear him to fix this
problem.
The first step is to
figure out why your dog is
sounding off so much. Dogs
bark to express a variety of
emotions: anxiety, boredom,
territoriality, aggression, play-
fulness and hunger. Certain
conditions in a dogs environ-
ment can trigger these emo-
tions and the barking fits
more frequently.
The typical neighbor-
hood nuisance is an outdoor
dog who isnt getting the exer-
cise and attention he needs.
Dogs are social animals and
need to be part of a family. If
your dogs outside because of
poor manners or because he
isnt house-trained, give him
another chance. Ask your vet-
erinarian for a referral to a
trainer or behaviorist and
arrange for an in-home consul-
tation to fix the underlying
problems.
Once youve brought
him into your life, keep him
busy with regular outings. Ex-
ercise, both of the body and of
the mind, works wonders for
all dogs, especially those who
bark from boredom or to re-
lease excess energy. Youll be
amazed at how much calmer,
happier and quieter your
dog will be!
For the barking that
remains some dogs are just
naturally yappy your task is
to train your dog to be quiet on
command when youre
home and to reduce the
barking
triggers
when
youre
not.
Teach your
dog to be quiet
by distracting
him from barking,
saying the word
Quiet or Enough,
and then praising him for
minding hell make the
connection soon enough,
with repetition and lots of
praise. Rattling a can filled
with pennies is a commonly
recommended distraction, and
it works well. Shouting at your
dog does nothing except make
you feel temporarily better,
since your dog may see your
own loud yap as chiming in.
Work to minimize
barking cues to keep your dog
quiet when youre not home. If
your dog barks while looking
through a window that faces
the street, keep him out of
that room while youre
gone. Many dogs
fire up when
they hear
car
doors slam other dogs bark at
the mail carriers steps on the
walk. Muffle these sounds by
leaving a radio playing while
youre not home, and your pet
is more likely to sleep than
bark. Giving your dog some-
thing special to chew on, such
as a Kong toy or hollow bone
stuffed with a little peanut but-
ter, will help to keep him occu-
pied and quiet while hes
awake.
For the
most persistent
barkers,
an electric collar that shoots
citrus or citronella mist when
he barks may help, in concert
with other strategies. The mist
is harmless to the dog the
citrus tang smells good to hu-
mans, but dogs hate it. The hiss
of the mist releasing from the
canister and the smell itself are
annoying enough to distract the
dog and correct him for bark-
ing. Citrus mist collars can be
an effective alternative when
someone is so desperate theyre
considering bark collars that
shock the dog, surgical debark-
ing or even euthanasia.
Chances are that if
you bring your dog into your
home and train him get help
if youre not getting anywhere
youll never get that desper-
ate. No matter what, working
on this problem is well worth
the effort: You, your dog and
your neighbors will all be hap-
pier.
HUSH, PUPPY
Yelling at a barking dog does
nothing except make you
temporarily happier.

Genre Drama Romance
Synopsis The film follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick
Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City
in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz
and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands
next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby,
and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering,
blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is
drawn into the captivating world of the super-rich, their illusions,
loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the
world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible
dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own
modern times and struggles.

Please join us for a dedication ceremony for the installation of
Identidad Geomtrica
with the artist Oswaldo Sagstegui
Thursday, June 6, 2013
6:30 PM
El Paso Museum of Art
One Arts Festival Plaza
A book signing with the artist will follow in the Museum Store
Identidad Geomtrica by Oswaldo Sagstegui
A brightly colored, abstract monumental sculpture from Mexico now graces the plaza at
the entrance to the El Paso Museum of ArtOswaldo Sagsteguis Identidad Ge-
omtrica, completed in 2012. Standing over sixteen feet at its highest point, the work is a
promised gift to the museum from patrons Dr. Roberto and Reina Assael. Viewers may
remember the fall 2012 EPMA exhibition of paintings by the artist, Fiesta of Color: The
Art of Oswaldo Sagstegui, which revealed the sense of life and humor in his work. This
new geometric steel-and-polyurethane sculpture expands the brilliant colors and dynamic
abstractions of Sagsteguis paintings into the realm of larger-than-life three-dimensional-
ity. Yet the brightly painted surface, asymmetrical angles, and opposing thrusts of Identi-
dad Geomtrica give the abstract form an inherent sense of vitality, suggesting various
associations that might in-
clude two faces kissing,
the mask of a cat-like
face, or a giant pink
bowtie. Born in Peru and
living in Mexico since
1968, Oswaldo
Sagstegui has followed a
distinguished career for
over fifty years, which
began with the award of a
gold medal upon gradua-
tion from the National
School of Fine
Arts in Lima, and in-
cluded a long stint as an
internationally acclaimed
political caricaturist for
the Mexican newspaper
Exclsior. Oswaldo works
closely on his
monumental sculptures
with his son Mauricio,
who organized the logis-
tics of the sculptures
transport from Mexico
City and produces his
own sculptural designs.
Identidad Geomtrica will provide a lasting expression of the exuberance
of Oswaldos art, complement the angles and colors of the modern EPMA
building, and offer a dynamic example of public art at the heart of down-
town El Paso.
Parking is available at the Convention Center, Camino Real Hotel, and Mills Plaza
Parking Garage for a small fee. Limited metered parking is available on Main Street.
Free metered parking on Saturdays and Sundays.

Martin Solveig will be at the Neon Desart
Music Festival this Saturday in downtown El
Paso. Tickets available at: WB Liquors , All
That Music, The Headstand, Happy House
and The Pizza Joint for $55 for more info
visit: www.neondesertmusicfestival.com
Martin Solveig has sharply risen from
being a well-respected DJ, to one of the
most formidable producers and perform-
ers in the world. His music has sold well
into the millions, his music videos are
renowned as by far the best in their class
and his performances continue to elec-
trify audiences in ever y corner of the
globe.
In some ways, the answer for many peo-
ple is simple, Hello. It has singlehand-
edly become one of the biggest success
stories of recent years. What started as a
humble club track soon exploded into
one of the biggest crossover dance
records in the world. It has gone on to sell
over 1.3 million copies, achieve platinum
status in four countries and the accompa-
nying music video has been viewed in ex-
cess of 35 million times and counting.
Hello catapulted its creator towards im-
mediate stardom, but there are years of
work behind the man who made this
record. Lets indulge in Lhistoire du
Solveig.
Like so many, Martins love affair with
music began at an early age, influenced
by luminaries such as Prince, Lenny
Kravitz, Stevie Wonder and Serge Gains-
bourg. His eccentric taste and non-con-
formist attitude have been the backbone
to what he is today a multi faceted
artist. He sings, he produces, he deejays,
he acts and occasionally he dances too.
Aged 21, Solveig started his own label
called Mixture Stereophonic & released
Heart of Africa. The track went on to sell
10,000 copies that offered a clear signal
to Martin that a career in music was well
worth pursuing. Martins first album, Sur La
Terre released in 2002, achieved critical
acclaim and enabled the Parisian to work
with Salif Keita for whom he remixed
Madan, one of 2003s biggest club an-
thems. The afro-disco bomb as well as
Martins new funk driven Rocking Music
both helped to catapult his career to a
whole new level.
Next up came the Hedonist album,
packed with a ream of hit singles such as
Ever ybody, Jealousy and Rejection,
and indicating quite clearly that Martin
Solveig had well and truly arrived. His most
recent album Cest La Vie was his
biggest album to date, selling in excess
of 300,000 copies and winning fans over
from far and wide.
In 2009 Martin was presented with two of
the most prestigious accolades any
Frenchman could hope to win the
Chevalier Des Arts et Des Lettres for his
contribution to the arts, and the Artiste de
Musiques Electroniques de l Annee award
at the French Victoires de la Musique
further testament to his ever-growing pop-
ularity and truly forward-thinking music
style and creativity.
As 2010 was in its final months Hello be-
came his biggest career landmark to
date. The genius creation that is the
SMASH YouTube series came to define a
new breed of music videos, signalling
Martin as a creative force much more
powerful than most of his contemporaries
regularly described by many critics as
being in a league of his own.
First came the legendar y Roland Garros
stadium, then the incredible Stade De
France, a rooftop pool in Singapore and
upcoming episodes from Japan and Aus-
tralia. There really is nothing to halt the se-
ries from going on to achieving so much
more. And this is without touching on the
soundtrack that accompanies each
episode.
SMASH is a modern day masterpiece,
bursting at the seams with pure fun, frivol-
ity and all capped off with timeless trade-
mark sounds. Involving the undeniable
talents of Dragonette, Bloc Party front
man Kele, Sunday Girl plus US whirlwind
DEV it brings Martin to new and dizzying
heights. . Continues on next page

With Solveigs magic and finesse for producing
music so easily accessible came the demand from
the biggest names in music, and right at the front
was most successful female recording artist of all
time - Madonna
The latter half of 2011 saw Martin Solveig achieve
what is surely ever y pop producer's dream, immers-
ing himself in the production of what will be
Madonnas 12th studio album, entitled M.D.N.A. The
lead single from said album, Give Me All Your Luvin,
a Solveig produced masterpiece, is just one of 6
cuts that will surely cement the Frenchman as a solid
production force in an industr y that seems intent on
exploding. Dance music meets pop is well and truly
here, and Martin Solveig is all over it.
2013 will be like no other for the unassuming master,
whether its headlining festival stages, including a
debut performance at Coachella, or performing on
national TV the world over for millions of viewers.
Ever ything the man approaches, he does with the
same intensity and flare that has spanned his entire
career; he has an innate ability to make each and
ever y person in a room feel welcome, invited and
free of inhibitions. At the end of the day this boils
down to one thing, Martin Solveig is one of the most
exciting and talented performers in the world.

ITS GOOD FOR YOUR GAME
Insider
By T.J. TOMASI
TEEING OFF
BIRDIES AND BOGEYS
The long and short of fair-
way metals
Fairway metals, such as your 3-metal, are often
the most difficult clubs in the bag to hit effec-
tively because they have the worst of both
worlds large metal heads and not much loft.
This dangerous duality leads to a visual image
on your mental screen that says, I cant get
under the ball with this low-lofted, big-headed
club.
This leads to all sorts of swing mistakes, but the
two most common are: hitting behind the ball
and then hitting thin and topped shots.
Of course, the idea of getting under the ball is a
common misconception. Your goal is not to get
under the ball, but to cleanly hit the back of the
ball with a downward blow. The good news is
that both the fat and thin misses can be corrected
by proper restoration of your swing radius.
The radius of your swing is the straight-line dis-
tance from your left shoulder to the clubhead. If
you start with, say, an 80-inch radius at address,
you should finish with 80 inches at impact, oth-
erwise you cant make solid contact with the
ball.
During your swing, this radius is lost as the
wrist cock creates a 90-degree angle between the
lead arm and the shaft of your golf club. Once
this happens, the goal is to restore the radius in
time for impact.
In the correct swing, the radius is at its longest at
both address and impact. If youre topping or
catching your fairway woods and metals thin,
youre returning to impact with a short left
arm. Good fairway metal players have a long
left arm at impact, meaning that the club is a
straight-line extension of the arm.
This drill will give you the feel of the long left
arm: Start your swing from the impact position
shown in the second photo below. Begin your
backswing by replanting your right heel on the
ground so youll rebound onto your right side.
Let momentum guide you to the top of the back-
swing, then continue your swing to the finish.
This will give you the feel of restoring the radius
and shallow out the shape of your swing arc a
must for fairway metals. Think long arm to
short arm to long arm.
This is the 90-degree angle that must be restored
to straight by impact. At this point, the radius of the
swing has changed due to his cocked wrists, and
power is stored in his short left arm.
At impact, the full radius has been restored, and
the left arm is long again, releasing pent-up
power.
Learn to focus on the target
The golf course is a multisensory experience,
and you must learn to cancel out all competing
stimuli that are extraneous to solving the point
A-to-point B problems called golf shots. Other-
wise, your mental screen will be overrun with
images of trouble.
All humans have a mental screen inside their
minds where, one at a time, images appear.
Close your eyes and you can see yours.
Heres the challenge: In the face of such a visu-
ally daunting stream of sensory input (water,
wind, slopes, railroad ties, bunkers, etc.), can
you deactivate the interference, leaving a pure
picture of the target? Can you choose to attend
to whatever you want?
The answer is yes, according to researchers
Itzhak Fried at UCLA and Christof Koch at Cal
Tech, who have proved that each of us has the
power to cast an all-important veto on the
influence of the outside world you can own
your mental screen.
The brain contains 100 billion neurons, and
every piece of information stored is assigned a
neuronal storage circuit that, when electrified,
makes available what it knows about the
problem. A single neuron is not that smart, but
with 100 billion you can paint the Sistine
Chapel or solve a quadratic equation.
Fried and his colleagues turned the electrical
impulses that trigger images in the brain into a
series of clicks so that electricity became sound.
They taught a group of epilepsy patients under-
going brain surgery to use their thoughts to con-
trol the images on a computer screen.
The doctors identified the neuron that repre-
sented Marilyn Monroe and one for the actor
Josh Brolin. Each time the patient thought about
Brolin, a specific electrical code was converted
to clicks the same happened when the patient
thought about Monroe, a conversion that made
it possible to hear the electrical image.
The technology allowed the scientists to watch
and listen to the patients brains as the battle of
attention took place.
The process began with a hybrid of the two im-
ages appearing on the computer as each of the
dedicated neurons fired off competing electrical
currents. As the patient increased attention on
the Monroe network, it became more dominant
until finally the battle was resolved and the
screen showed a clear and distinct image of
Marilyn.
This power of attention can be developed
through practice, and it is the essential ingredi-
ent in what I call running your brain. Thus it
is your job to tamp down competing images and
promote the image of the flag stick or of you
hitting a great shot, whatever you want to put on
your mental screen by using your directed men-
tal focus, a power we all have, but few ever de-
velop.
Whose hole-in-one?
The proverb says if you wait long enough, the
lion will lay down with the lamb (usually to rest
a bit before he has himself a lamb dinner), but re-
cently the lamb made a hole-in-one to beat the
lion at least in the national press buzz.
Saxby (I golf, therefore I am) Chambliss, a Re-
publican senator from Georgia, aced the 11th
hole at Andrews Air Force Base recently while
playing with President Obama and two other sen-
ators. While no reporters were allowed to tag
along, my Insider source (who requested that she
not be named since she was hiding in the bushes
at the time) reported that President Obama, after
offering congratulations, reminded Chambliss
that he didnt make that hole-in-one.
What do you mean I didnt make it? Chambliss
protested. I hit the shot, and it went in.
The president shook his head as if talking to a
child. Saxby, he said, how did you get here?
By chauffeured limo, the same as you, came
the reply.
Well, we made that possible by building the
roads you drove on. And how did you arrive here
at the 11th hole? Surely you didnt walk.
No, of course not. I rode in a golf cart, same as
you, said Saxby.
Well, thats a special solar-powered golf cart
that the government made possible by giving Sun
and Go Golf Cart seed money. So the govern-
ment was a part of your hole-in-one, which
means you didnt make it. We did.

Attack/gap wedge
GOLF SPOKEN HERE
Golfers use this club to make
a full-swing shot that flies far-
ther than a normal sand
wedge and shorter than a
pitching wedge.
To-do list makes
practice effective
Before you head out to the range, take a
moment to jot down a few dos and donts:
Tee all shots, even irons; once youre used to solid con-
tact, then go to the ground.
Lay down alignment clubs to form your practice station:
one club on the heel line and one parallel to the target
line.
When youve accomplished what you came to do, stop.
Limit each session to 45 minutes, then take a break.
Hydrate your body by drinking plenty of water (12
ounces every hour).
Have a plan for each session and follow it.
Keep a journal.
Dont practice in a crosswind.
Dont let other golfers distract you; youre there to prac-
tice, not to chat.
If its not working, leave.
If you cant do it on your own, go to a good teaching pro.
Dont listen to the golfer who is two strokes better than
you, and definitely dont listen to the one who is two
strokes worse.
Swing shirt keeps swing connected
One of the most important prin-
ciples of a good swing is con-
nection, where you sync your
arms and body into one unit.
Enter the Golf Swing Shirt, one
of the weirdest-looking teaching
aids ever.
To make things worse, product
spokesman Padraig Harrington
sounds like Bugs Bunny when
he gets excited in the promo-
tional video. Despite his Looney
Tunes lilt, Harrington is a
bright, thoughtful man who
knows a lot about the golf
swing. Still, youve got to
chuckle when you watch Har-
rington wriggle in and out of the
shirt, channeling Houdini escap-
ing from a straitjacket.
Even with all the comic trap-
pings, this still might be one of
the best teaching aids Ive seen.
If you ever said youd do any-
thing to play better golf, well
here is your anything. Plunk
down 70 bucks for the Golf
Swing Shirt and find a lonely
place at the back of the range to
practice.

Jimmie Johnson wins All-Star Race; leads all Sprint Cup
drivers with four wins and earns $1 million payday
The track at Charlotte Motor
Speedway has been changed,
and the format for the Sprint
All-Star Race is rarely the same
from one year to the next. But
one thing is fairly certain:
When the $1 million prize is on
the line, Jimmie Johnson will
be there battling for the win.
On Saturday, the All-
Star Race looked as if it would
boil down to a battle between
the Busch brothers, Kurt and
Kyle, who had been the drivers
to beat in the four opening seg-
ments, winning two apiece. But
Johnson and his Chad Knaus-
led crew wound up on the front
row for the final restart, and
Johnson motored away, leading
all of the final 10-lap finale to
become the first four-time win-
ner of the race, breaking a tie
with Jeff Gordon and the late
Dale Earnhardt.
And hes done it in
just 12 appearances, with his
previous victories coming in
2003, 2006 and last year. Hes
the second driver to win back-
to-back the first was the late
Davey Allison, in 1991 and
1992.
Johnsons win was
the eighth for his car owner
Rick Hendrick, who has more
All-Star victories than any
other owner. He won with Gor-
don in 1995, 1997 and 2001,
and with Terry Labonte in
1999.
It was another Hen-
drick driver, Kasey Kahne, who
had the best chance to derail
Johnson in the final segment.
He was first out of the pits on
the final restart, with Johnson
second, but Johnson surged into
the lead to win over Joey
Logano and Kyle Busch, while
Kahne dropped to fourth.
Johnson said the key
was to be up front on the restart
to begin the last 10-lap run. To
get there, it took a strong per-
formance in the opening seg-
ments, plus a quick pit stop by
his crew. The order in which
drivers entered pit road was
based on their average finish in
the opening segments, and
Johnson was fourth. His crew
gained him two spots for the
restart.
I felt like the winner
would come from one of [the
first] two rows, Johnson said.
Not to state the obvious, but
thats really the goal ... to try to
be in that front row for the final
restart.
Once he got out front
and in clean air, he drove away
unchallenged to win by 1.722
seconds.
Johnson and Knaus
both said the lack of drama in
the final segment was due to
the rules for the event. They
said that with a mandatory
four-tire pit stop with 10 laps to
go, those who start up front
likely will stay there, given the
difficulty of passing the leader
on a high-speed track like
Charlotte.
Knaus said that hav-
ing different tire compounds
available to teams would spice
up the show.
I think that the
amount of tires that we get, half
of them should be super-softs
and the other half should be
normal, and that gives you an
opportunity to try to do your
tire strategy, he said. Once
you have super-softs, you know
theyre only going to last 20
laps, as opposed to the set thats
going to last 60 laps like were
going to run here on a typical
weekend.
You can strategize.
When those tires fall off, thats
when youre going to start to
see some passing, and in a 20-
lap or 10-lap segment, I think it
could be very exciting to see
who plays the tire strategy.
But he doesnt fore-
see that happening because
Goodyear, NASCARs exclu-
sive tire supplier, prefers to
build tires that are very durable
on most tracks other than the
ones with worn asphalt, such as
Atlanta Motor Speedway or
Texas Motor Speedway.
The only way youre
going to get passing is to have
tire falloff like we have at At-
lanta [or] maybe Texas, he
said.
Johnson becomes the first Sprint Cup driver to win
four All-Star Races.

Dick Trickle of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., was the Richard
Petty of the asphalt short-track racing world, especially in
the Midwest, where he won an estimated 1,000 feature
races.
But he also built quite a resume down in Pettys
territory, both on the asphalt short tracks of the South and
in the elite divisions of NASCAR, where he began racing
at an age when many are retiring.
Few races illustrate the career of Trickle, who
died last Thursday of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at
age 71, better than the inaugural World Crown 300 on
Nov. 27, 1983, at Georgia International Speedway, now
known as Gresham Motorsports Park.
Legendary promoter Bob Harmon worked with
track operator Rob Joyce to create the ultimate short-
track race.
Harmon drew in the top short trackers of the
South, drivers like Ronnie Sanders, Jody Ridley, Gary
Balough and Freddy Fryar, while Joyce used his connec-
tions with the American Speed Association to lure drivers
from up North like Trickle, Mike Eddy, Bob Senneker and
Alan Kulwicki.

Ford plugs in with the C-Max Energi
NOTEBOOK
Next to Toyota, Ford has the
largest lineup of hybrid vehi-
cles in the auto industry. Now a
company committed to hybrids
and fuel efficiency, Ford has
added a new vehicle to better
compete with the Japanese au-
tomaker. The C-Max wagon, al-
ready a big seller in Europe,
makes its debut here in the U.S.
for the 2013 model year. And
with it are two models, the C-
Max Hybrid which squares up
with the Prius and the C-Max
Energi, which takes on the
Prius Plug-in. I recently spent
time with the C-Max Energi,
and found it to be quite an in-
triguing automobile.
The C-Max Energi is a five-
passenger hatchback wagon. In
terms of size, its very similar
to Fords popular Focus as the
two share the same platform.
But the C-Max has a higher
roof and a little bit of oddball
styling that makes it stand apart
from the Focus. In Europe the
C-Max is available with a third
row of seats, but we only get
two rows due to batteries taking
up interior space. In other mar-
kets, the C-Max is available as
both a regular gas vehicle as
well as a diesel vehicle.
But what makes the C-Max En-
ergi so unique is that not only is
it a hybrid, powered by a 2.0
liter four-cylinder engine and
an electric motor, but its also an
electric vehicle, able to drive on
electricity alone for up to 21
miles. In order to do this, the C-
Max Energi must be plugged in
and charged.
Charging the C-Max Energi is
simple just plug one end of
the supplied cord into the vehi-
cle and the other end into a
standard household outlet and
let it be for seven hours. If you
have access to a 240V outlet,
charge time cuts down to just
2.5 hours. If plugging in isnt
your style, the C-Max Hybrid is
a great alternative.
Once charged, the C-Max En-
ergi is powered solely by elec-
tricity. Dont let that scare you,
though, the C-Max Energi is
plenty powerful. The electric
motor delivers instant, ample
torque and can hit speeds of up
to 85 mph. A CVT transmission
sends the power to the front
wheels.
As you drive and use you the
electricity, the battery gauge
drops much like that on a cell
phone, but at a faster rate. Once
the battery is depleted, the C-
Max Energi becomes a hybrid
where it achieves 44 mpg in the
city and 41 mpg on the high-
way. Total output power of the
C-Max Energi is 188 horse-
power.
Obviously the main part of the
C-Max Energi is its powertrain,
but the rest of the vehicle is
also quite impressive. The
cabin is a dead ringer for those
found in the Ford Focus and
Escape. The dash and center-
stack can be a little overwhelm-
ing at first with its
alien-inspired shape, but take a
moment or two to get accli-
mated and everything falls into
place. If you are already famil-
iar with the MyFord Touch in-
fotainment system, youll feel
right at home since it is stan-
dard equipment on the C-Max
Energi.
Not only does the C-Max have
an eye-catching and well-built
cabin, but it delivers a drive
that most wouldnt expect.
Kyle Busch gets his first
Truck Series win of the
2013 season
Kyle Busch won last weeks Camping World Truck Series
race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, his first Truck win of
the season, his fifth at Charlotte and the 31st of his ca-
reer.
Behind him, two young Georgia racers scored career-best
finishes.
Max Gresham of Griffin finished third, and John Wes
Townley of Watkinsville was eighth, tying his previous best
result from Pocono Raceway last year.
Gresham, 20, also led three laps, the first time hes been
atop the leader board in his Truck Series career.
This is really just a win all around for us, said
Gresham, whose previous best finish was an 11th at Mar-
tinsville Speedway last fall. This is justification that were
going in the right direction, and that [crew chief] Chris
[Showalter] and I are working well together, and were get-
ting better.
This is a huge confidence-gainer for us. Were
going to go to Dover and have that extra confidence, and
were going to make it work.
Townley, 23, also said he felt like a winner.
It feels like a dream come true to be able to
back it up like this; it just shows that we can only go for-
ward from here, and thats real exciting, he said. There
have been some ups and downs in my career, and this
year has been overall pretty positive.
Kyle Busch celebrates his victory in the NC Education Lottery
200.

Jamie McMurray regains Sprint Cup form; Danica Patrick wins All-Star
Fan Vote but suers a tough night
Jamie McMurray,
who has struggled in recent
seasons to regain his winning
form, dominated the Sprint
Showdown, leading all 40 laps
of the undercard event to win a
spot in the All-Star Race. Once
in the main event, he wound up
with an eighth-place finish.
I think if we ever
could have gotten to the front,
probably like most people, our
car was extremely fast, he
said. Its just really tough in
traffic, but overall, we had a
good car.
By finishing second
in the Showdown, rookie Ricky
Stenhouse Jr. also advanced to
the All-Star Race, where he fin-
ished 16th. He said that in addi-
tion to getting to run with the
sports elite drivers, he learned
things that will help him in this
weekends Coca-Cola 600 at
Charlotte.
We made a lot of ad-
justments under that red flag
that I think gave us a direction
to go for next week, so it was
very, very valuable, he said. I
learned a few things myself out
there running an extra 90 laps,
which is huge.
Danica Patrick won the Fan
Vote to gain entry into the All-
Star Race and finished 20th,
beating only the drivers who
fell out of the race.
We were just too tight, she
said. The guys did a great job
on pit road. That goes without
saying. It was just a tough
night, but hopefully we are able
to figure out what was wrong
and we can come back here
next weekend and have a better
run.

Rather than giving a dull, unin-
spired experience for the driver,
the C-Max Energi feels very
European in nature as it drives
down the road delivering good
feedback through the steering
wheel to the driver. The suspen-
sion is nicely done and at times
I felt like I could throw the car
into a corner much like a Focus
or a Fiesta. But the moment I
approached the cars limits, the
low-resistance tires and high
center of gravity made their
presence felt. The C-Max En-
ergi is fun to drive, but its no
sports car.
It does better as a utility vehicle
though. The C-Max Energi has
19 cubic feet of storage space
that rises to 43 with the rear
seat folded. Considering the ve-
hicles batteries occupy a lot of
room and those figures are re-
spectable.
Being the new kid on the block,
the C-Max Energi is an impres-
sive vehicle that offers good
utility, respectable performance
and of course, excellent fuel
economy. Ford wants to show
that the Prius isnt the only
game in town and with the C-
Max Energi as well as the C-
Max Hybrid, they can deliver a
vehicle that matches up, if not
out shines the competition.
Both the C-Max Energi and C-
Max Hybrid are available at
Ford dealers now.

Then some NASCAR stars like
Bobby Allison, Neil Bonnett and
Darrell Waltrip, all of whom regu-
larly mixed in some short-track rac-
ing with their activities in
NASCAR, joined in, too.
Trickle went against
conventional wisdom and pitted for
fresh tires fairly early, at Lap 123 of
300, while most waited until after
the 200-lap mark to stop.
But because he pitted
early, when the rest stopped, he cy-
cled into the lead and dominated
the remainder of the race to collect
a then-unheard-of payoff of
$50,000.
By comparison, in the
fall Sprint Cup race at Atlanta
Motor Speedway three weeks ear-
lier, Bonnett collected far less,
$36,975, for winning the Atlanta
Journal 500.
In Victory Lane, Har-
mons sidekick Bill Desmond
placed a kings crown on Trickles
head, prompting the driver to say:
Im not a king. Im a race driver.
And that he was.
In 1989, at age 47, he
was called in at the last minute to
replace the injured Mike Alexander
in the Stavola Brothers No. 84
Buick.
Trickle took over at
Rockingham, where he finished
13th, then came to Atlanta for the
Motorcraft 500.
While Darrell Waltrip
won the race, Trickle stole the
show.
He ran with the leaders
all day, and when the final caution
flag flew with 14 laps remaining,
only Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt and
Trickle were on the lead lap.
Waltrip and Earnhardt
pitted for fresh tires, but Trickles
crew chief, Jimmy Fennig, now
with Carl Edwards, left his driver
on the track on older tires.
Fresh tires soon pre-
vailed, but Trickle still ended up
with a stunning finish.
Afterward, Trickle was
asked how a 47-year-old driver,
who smoked cigarettes in and out
of his race car, drank beer to excess
and was not accustomed to 500-
mile races, could be in such good
shape after a long afternoon of su-
perspeedway racing.
How many laps is this
race? he asked.
When told that it was
328, he responded: Heck, we run
400-lappers back home all the
time.
Trickle went on to score
top-five finishes in four of his first
seven starts, and won Rookie of the
Year. Although he never won at the
Cup level in a points-paying race,
he did win twice in the Nationwide
Series, at Hickory Motor Speedway
in 1997 and at Darlington in 1998,
where, at age 56, he beat Dale
Earnhardt Jr. to the checkered flag.
Among the many drivers mentored
by Trickle over the years were
Mark Martin, Rusty Wallace, Alan
Kulwicki and even some much
younger drivers, like Matt Kenseth
and Johnny Sauter.
He was tough, but he
was fun, Martin said. He was just
a very unique person. He was in his
element, short-track racing, where
he didnt have to look over his
shoulder or worry about anything.
Thats why he didnt
come NASCAR racing when he
might have and was young enough
that he really could have gotten his
feet planted firmly here. He was
doing it his way. It was just as ex-
citing for me getting to race against
him as it was the first time I got to
race with Richard Petty.
Kenseth described
Trickle as a legend, especially to
racers like him from Wisconsin.
Kenseth said he visited
for nearly two hours with Trickle
last summer at the Slinger Nation-
als, a short-track event Trickle
helped create.
He had a ton of com-
mon sense, and he was really
smart.
In his obituary, Trickles
family said he had been suffering
for some time with severe pain. A
private funeral was planned, and
the family asked that in lieu of
flowers, donations be sent in his
memory to: Victory Junction, 4500
Adams Way, Randleman, N.C.
27317.
