alyst for change in public higher education in the 21st century. President Natalicio will participate in a Sept. 4 panel discussion organized by Washington Monthly to discuss higher education issues reflected in the rankings. In its introduction to the rankings, the magazines editors praised UTEP for enrolling and graduating a large number of low-income students. More than half of UTEPs almost 23,000 students 12,116 received a Pell Grant during the 2012-13 academic year, and 75 percent received some form of financial aid. Our rankings aim to identify institutions that are acting on behalf of the true public interest, the editors wrote. They later added that UTEP enrolls large numbers of low-income students and graduates more of them than the economic and academic profiles of their students would predict, while charging the kind of affordable tuition that is increasingly rare. This is the eighth year that the publication, an investigative, system-analysis periodical based in Washington, D.C., has produced college rankings. The magazine says the rankings reward schools for, among other things, recruiting and graduating students of modest means in conscious contrast to the U.S. News & World Report.

I Love September
September is my favorite month of the year. The reason is two-fold. We rarely see triple digit temperatures and we have enough rain and storms on average for the month to nourish my farm and keep things exciting at the office. Below is the total number of triple digits per month since 1970. As you can see over the past 40 years weve only had one year where we have more than three triple digit days. Typically we dont see any 100 degree days.
Weather Trivia:
A) .70 B) 1.51
Whats El Pasos average amount of rain for the month of September? C) 1.89 D) 2.10
Answer: B 1.51

Downsizing is a b****, but we are excited to be out from under lawns and flooded cellars and all that. The one problem is the tiny, tiny bath in our new apartment. We plan to remodel, but there's no way to gain any more floor space. It's just 5 x 7 feet. Please advise.

Here, the "right" materials include richly veined Rain Forest marble tiles, a frameless tempered-glass shower door (John simply got rid of the old tub) and over-scaled porcelain tiles on the floor. Conventional wisdom usually dictates small patterns for small spaces, but John maintains, "The large scale actually makes the space look bigger."

Matt Kenseth emerges from mid-season doldrums to claim victory in IRWIN Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway
As NASCARs Sprint Cup Series drivers head into the toughest 12 weeks of the season, some drivers, like Matt Kenseth and Joey Logano, are hot, while others, like five-time champion Jimmie Johnson, are not. Kenseth emerged from some mid-season doldrums to score a strong win at Bristol Motor Speedway Saturday night, giving him five wins for the season, which translates to 15 bonus points when the standings are reset after the Sept. 7 race at Richmond International Raceway. Johnson, on the other hand, has the series points lead heading into Sunday nights AdvoCare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, but hes had a rough month. Since his runner-up finish at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 28, hes seen his points lead over second place drop from 75 to 18. In the past two weeks hes had finishes of 40th and 36th, due to a blown engine at Michigan and a crash at Bristol. For Kenseth, in his first season at Joe Gibbs Racing, his Bristol performance especially holding off Kasey Kahne at the end even though Kahne had fresher tires has him feeling a sense of momentum heading into the final two weeks of the regular season and on into the Chase. I think this [Bristol] weekend was huge for us, Kenseth said. Even if again next week. But he said the most important thing is what happens during the Chase. Once the Chase starts, it is its own animal. So well just wait and see what happens during those 10 [races], he said. Logano also appears to be gaining steam at a good time. He followed up his Michigan win with a powerful run at Bristol, where he bounced back from an early crash and drove his patched-up Ford to a fifth-place finish. That was the hardest-fought topfive Ive ever had in my life, Logano said. We deserve to make this Chase, and if we keep doing this on days that theyre trying to put us down, we deserve it. Since finishing 40th at New Hampshire on July 14, Logano hasnt finished worse than eighth and has moved from 18th in the standings to 10th. A late-race melee at Bristol put a damper on the Chase hopes of several drivers on the bubble of securing a berth for the title run. Loganos teammate, reigning Cup champion Brad Keselowski, was among those collected when Brian Vickers and Denny Hamlin collided with 53 laps to go. Martin Truex Jr. and Ryan Newman also were involved, as was Kevin Harvick, whose Chase spot is all but assured due to his position in points, fourth, and the fact that he has a win this season. Keselowski dropped three spots in points, to 11th, four behind Logano. Truex dropped from 12th to 14th in the standings. Newman returned to the track and drove his damaged racer to a 21st-place finish, which left him 15th in the standings. Kurt Busch dropped from ninth to 12th in the standings after losing laps while a damaged hub was replaced on his No. 78 Chevrolet, but hes just six points out of 10th place. Continues on next page
Matt Kenseth celebrates his IRWIN Tools Night Race victory at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Kenseth takes the checkered flag at Bristol in the IRWIN Tools Night Race.
we would have run second and got beat at the end ... at least for me, it would have been a very encouraging weekend. It would have been a shot in our arm, like man, we had all our speed back. Hopefully that gives you momentum. The next 12 weeks are the most important 12 weeks of the season, so I feel like: Approach every race the same. Go out with the idea of trying to qualify the best you can and prepare like youre going to go try to win the race. For Johnson, it was another missed chance to get some mojo of his own going as he heads into the Chase. His points position has him locked into a Chase berth, but winning the regular season offers no reward come Chase time, as all 12 Chase drivers start with the same number of points, plus three bonus points for each regular season win for the top 10. This racing stuff happens, Johnson said. Luckily, we had a big points lead that we can kind of deal with right now. We certainly want to clean things up and have some great finishes rolling into the Chase. Well keep after it, and be back
NOTEBOOK
Matt Kenseth...
Continued from page 26 Among those who held their own or gained, points-wise, at Bristol were Greg Biffle, who finished ninth and moved from 10th to ninth in points, and Dale Earnhardt Jr., who was 10th at Bristol and remains seventh in the standings, but stretched his margin over 11th place from 20 points to 33. That 20 points really had me pretty nervous, Earnhardt said. Hopefully, if we can put a good one together next week, something similar or better than this, we will definitely go to Richmond a lot more comfortable. For Newman, whose best chance to make the Chase appears to be through a wild card berth made possible by his victory in the Brickyard 400, every single point is important. We need to score maximum points at each race, he said. Even on nights like [Bristol], its important that we dont give up. Well keep fighting until the final lap at Richmond.
Its hard and sad to believe that the two-door coupe is becoming an endangered specious in the automotive industry. The Chevrolet Monte Carlo and Toyota Camry Solara are long gone and Nissans Altima Coupe, well it recently met its fate as Nissan just announced there will be no 2014 model. And Honda they dropped the Prelude way back in 2001, leaving us with just the two door version of the popular Accord, simply known as the Coupe. Now entering its ninth generation, the Accord is all-new for 2013 and the Accord Coupe, while practically a sole survivor in this market continues to get better with age.
Looking identical to the concept car Honda showed at the 2012 North American International Auto Show, the Honda Accord Coupe is a real attention-getter. The Coupe shares no body panels with the more conservative Accord sedan - instead it has a sharply raised beltline and flows into a pleasingly sloped wedge. Cool, racy-looking black cutouts on the rear bumper add flare to the Coupe but serve no other purpose. Overall, the new Accord Coupe is about 3.6 inches smaller than the car it replaces. Inside, the Coupe sports an interior that is quite inviting. The front seats are excellent, both
in support and comfort. The back seats, never a strong point in a coupe, welcome passengers, even those that hit the sixfoot mark. When not in use, the rear seatbacks fold to expand the trunk size. The gauges are big and bright, making them visible in all conditions and the center stack is loaded with buttons, knobs and screens. My test vehicle was equipped with the navigation system, which uses an iDrivelike knob, making it a bit more challenging to use than it should be. But one thing Honda hasnt lost is the ability to fit the Accord Coupe with plenty of storage bins, cubby holes .. Continues on next page
By The Numbers:
Greg Biffle maintains wait-and-see approach toward Gen-6 car and new tire compound at Atlanta Motor Speedway
Last year when Greg Biffle arrived at Atlanta Motor Speedway for the AdvoCare 500, he was the series points leader and assured of a berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. But a lot has changed in a years time, including the characteristics of the cars and tires that will be run at Atlanta this year. Biffle is one of the drivers on the Chase bubble, counting on a strong run at AMS to propel them into the 10-race, championship-deciding Chase, which begins after the Sept. 7 race at Richmond International Raceway. Hes ninth in the standings, with one win, but just 17 points ahead of 11th-place Brad Keselowski with two more races, including Atlanta, to run before the start of the Chase. Adding drama to the AMS event is the fact that the race is the first at the track for NASCARs new Generation 6 race car, and Goodyear has developed a right-side tire that has two tread compounds to help drivers deal with AMS worn asphalt, which has been in place since 1997. So much is different from last year, said Biffle, who finished ninth in Saturdays IRWIN Tools Night race at Bristol Motor Speedway. These Gen-6 Biffle said hes heard good reports from his fellow drivers who tested the new AMS tire compound, but hes taking a wait-and-see attitude about it. You never know until you get there and you get on the tire and the track gets rubbered in, he said. Im looking forward to see how it holds up. Although his only win at AMS came in 2003 in a Nationwide Series race, and in a Chevrolet, he said the track is among his favorites. Its a fun race track, he said. I like that place. We havent had as much success there as weve had at other mile-and-a-half tracks, but that could change with this Gen-6 car and the things were doing with it. Another question heading into the AMS race is which drivers and teams are hot and which are not as we approach the final two races of the regular season. Biffle said thats something that changes from week to week. Its not like anybodys on fire, he said. A lot of it is due to this new car. For the next few years, well still be learning it.
