New Book Empowers
Women with Breast
Cancer to Stay
Fearless and Fabulous
Author will Appear in Orlando October 15-17
for Talks and Book Signings
Sept. 25, 2013 - ORLANDO -
Passionate traveler and wine
and food marketing pro
Melanie Young took an unex-
pected detour in 2009 to a
place she refers to as "Cancer
Land." She has written a witty
guidebook filled with tips and
insights to help newly diag-
nosed women navigate their
journey called: "Getting
Things Off My Chest: A Sur-
vivor's Guide to Staying Fear-
less and Fabulous in the Face
of Breast Cancer" (Cedar Fort,
Inc./September 10, 2013).
Melanie Young stresses the im-
portance of understanding your
rights and options as a breast
cancer patient and taking re-
sponsibility for eating, hydrat-
ing and exercising to build
strength and fight fatigue.
Melanie interviewed dozens of
breast cancer survivors and ex-
perts from the medical, cancer
and related communities to
provide concise, useful infor-
mation covering a broad range
of issues.
Some highlights:
Five Commandments for the
newly diagnosed: understand-
ing your health insurance,
managing finances, getting or-
ganized, assembling a health
care team and managing com-
munications
Selecting a surgeon, medical
oncologist and managing treat-
ment
The "Squeeze Test" - breast
reconstruction options
The "Holy Trinity"- Hy-
drate, Gyrate and Masticate-
nutrition management and ex-
ercise
Putting Your Best Face For-
ward - skin and oral care, hair
loss/regrowth and makeup tips
Emotional Rescue - dealing
with chemo-brain, stress, body
image and sexuality
Peer support and services to
help you
Genetic testing: your options
About Melanie Young
Diagnosed with cancer in both
breasts in August 2009,
Melanie underwent a double
mastectomy with reconstruc-
tion, five months of chemother-
apy, genetic testing and a
prophylactic surgery to remove
her ovaries and fallopian
tubes. She used her experience
to retool her diet, reboot her
exercise regimen, rid her life
from toxic stress and repurpose
through writing and helping
other women facing the jour-
ney.

Dallas based
Magical Fundraising looks
to bring educational enrich-
ing shows to schools in El
Paso. David D'angelo
started his career with the
navy for 10 years. After his
completion he got a job at
Norwegian cruise lines that
led him to drive from LA to
Florida for work. Upon his
stop in El Paso he read an
article about high dropout
rates in San Antonio and
Texas that led him to de-
velop his magic shows to-
wards youth impact.
Today D'angelo works in the
Dallas area and is now also
in El Paso working with var-
ious schools. D'Angelo's
"Magic of the heart" show is
based on interpersonal rela-
tionships that show children
the importance of respect
for one another. D"angelo
states that "we want to teach
kindness. You can never
ben to nice to someone and
years to come when
we are older, we ap-
preciate those that were
nice to use". This already
successful show in the
Dallas metroplex is
currently gaining trac-
tion here in
El Paso.

SPOOKTACULAR 2013
UTEP had another one sided loss on Saturday. The Miners
ended up going down 59-42 at Fort Collins Colorado. Colorado
State's Garrett Grayson passed for a career high 307 yards.
UTEP was still not short of having a
miraculous game by our own
quarterback as well. Jameill
Showers led the Miners with 5
touchdowns and 365 yards.
The Miners did have a 21
point rally in the 3rd quarter
to tie the game at 28-28. This
was not enough for UTEP to
take a lead or even stay in the
game for the remaining time left.
The Miners face Louisiana Tech this weekend at The Sun Bowl.
The Bulldogs are currently 1-4 and have also had much strug-
gle this season. Kickoff for this game is at 5:30pm and will be
broadcast on the CBS sports network. The two teams have not
faced off since 2004.
3-star basketball recruit Omega Harris committed to UTEP over
the weekend. The 6-2 Shooting guard out of Bethany Okla-
homa had offers from OU, Tulsa, Texas Tech and others. ESPN
has Omega rated as a 3-star recruit and is a great nab for the
Miners.

Crimes Against the
Elderly Conference
Learn about Financial Scams, Elder Domes-
tic Violence, Mental Disabilities and more
Elders are the fastest growing segment
of our society and its financial back-
bone. By 2020, its estimated the 65 and
over population will double while the 85
and over population triples.
Many are weak, physically or mentally
disabled, and often at the mercy of the
people they depend on most: relatives
and caregivers. Sadly, a growing num-
ber of vulnerable adults, especially those
that are isolated, are easy targets for
abuse, neglect and financial exploitation.
Adult Protective Services (APS) is inviting the public to learn
from a variety of experts how to protect our elderly and disabled
adults at the 6th annual Crimes Against the Elderly Conference.
What: 6th annual Crimes Against the Elderly Conference
When: 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, October 8, 2013
Where: Region 19 Education Service Center (11670 Chito
Samaniego, El Paso, TX)
Register: Contact Cindy Vizcarra, (915) 834-5775, cynthia.viz-
carra@dfps.state.tx.us
Admission is free with a donation of a fan/blanket or personal hy-
giene items to restock the APS Silver Resource Room. Breakfast
and lunch is provided and continuing education credits (CEU,
MCLE, TCLEOSE) are available.
The conference attracts bankers, lawyers, social workers, nurses,
doctors, police officers, counselors, home health agencies and
more.
Last year, we had more than 500 registered, said Grace Ortiz,
APS Community Initiatives Specialist. Because these profession-
als work directly with elderly and disabled adults on a daily basis,
they are often our first line of defense in preventing elder abuse.

Advancing Conservation Value
By Greg Simons
Theodore Roosevelts prophetic
words, There can be no
greater issue than that of
conservation in this
Country, still ring true some 101
years later.
Growing up in the river bottoms of the
East Fork of the Trinity, in Kaufman
County, Texas, I was fortunate to be
introduced to the splendors of our out-
door world at an early age. My mater-
nal grandfather, Eugene Gilliam, was a
true outdoorsman. He was responsible
for cultivating my fathers interest in
hunting. And although my grandfather
passed away at a relatively early age,
when I was 7 years old, I was im-
printed with his love for all things
wild. My father continued to nurture
this interest throughout my childhood.
Though I longed to be in the bigger,
wilder areas of South or West Texas as
an adolescent, the reality of growing
up in what quickly became a suburban
area was that it created awareness for
me of the fragility of open spaces, as
well as an understanding that our natu-
ral world is not inexhaustible. It was
during my college days at Texas A&M
University, while studying wildlife sci-
ences, that these childhood observa-
tions came more into focus. And, these
academic studies also provided me
with a cognitive perspective of the
ecological intricacies of how man is
inextricably tied to this whole process.
It also became apparent to me that
conservation of our natural resources
and sustainability of the integrity of
wild things and wild places would
only come about as a consequence of
the intervention of man. It was those
revelations that led me on a life-long
quest to be a part of something that is
much bigger than me and something
that can make a difference for Advanc-
ing Conservation Value in our society.
We often associate increased urbaniza-
tion with evaporation of literacy for
things that are wild, and for good rea-
son. Indeed, there is certainly correla-
tion between our city cousins that
grow up inside the confines of the con-
crete jungle, relative to their aptitude
and appreciation for wild things and
wild places.
I believe, however, that there are many
teachable opportunities for kids and
adults, using wildlife props that are al-
ready squarely within the urban neigh-
borhood. City wildlife is not simply
for grackles and mice. When you peel
back the layers, youll find a plethora
of critters of diverse species within
various classes, including mammals,
birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and
insects. You have a complex urban
wildlife ecological wonder-land that
unfolds daily, but to most casual ob-
servers, few appreciate the extent of
wild critters that are camouflaged by
the masquerade of other sights,
sounds, and hustle and bustle.
As increased urbanization continues to
shape the lifestyles of most Texans, so-
ciety will be tasked with doing a better
job of placing more emphasis on uti-
lizing green spaces in cities as class-
rooms. We must celebrate the diverse
opportunities to enjoy our urban
wildlife. Fundamentally, relevance for
wildlife is what will keep them with
us, and relevance will only be ensured
through creative and enterprising ap-
proaches
Archery deer season has kicked-off in
Texas, as have the deer programs that
are on those properties under a Man-
aged Lands Deer Permit, not to men-
tion our Texas pronghorn season is
underway, as well.
The fall fest is here. Lifes good in the
outdoors, so get out and enjoy, and re-
member, you dont always have to go
to the country to enjoy wildlife; take it
in whenever and wherever those op-
portunities present themselves,
whether that be in your backyard, or
whether it be along the back sendero!

We ended our 2013 Monsoon with a bang!
The El Paso airport recorded 8.16 of rainfall
for our summer months compared to the aver-
age of 5.14. This is an increase of just over
3 above the normal. According to the Na-
tional Weather Service in Santa Teresa, this
summer is now the 11th wettest on record!
Our monsoon is observed from June 15th
through September 30th. This is the time of
year that we typically get most of our annual
precipitation. Going in to the season in early
June, the entire area was in a severe drought.
In fact, we were looking at the potential of
experiencing four years in a row of below
normal precipitation.
Most of the rain came during the months of
July and September. July experienced just
over three inches of rain (3.13) while Sep-
tember (normally our third wettest month of
the year) absorbed the most rain so far this
year with 3.85. Most of the rain for Septem-
ber occurred on the twelfth where three to
five inches fell across El Paso. The onslaught
of rain caused flash flood watches and warn-
ings throughout the city. Due to the extreme
weather, Trans mountain road had to close
and La Union, NM had flooding that caused
numerous damage to roads and homes.
The rains certainly helped put a dent in our
drought but we are still undergoing drought
conditions. Hopefully this winter we will con-
tinue to experience above normal precipita-
tion and a good spring runoff of snowmelt.

Op-Ed: Celebrating 10 Years of
Health Care Liability Reform
By Dan Stultz, M.D., FACHP, FACHE
Chief Executive Officer, Texas Hospital Association
Ten years ago, Texas lawmak-
ers and voters approved a com-
prehensive set of reforms to the
states health care liability sys-
tem. Collectively, House Bill 4
and Proposition 12 were in-
tended to address the crisis in
the states health care liability
system that had run amok with
unfounded lawsuits and unpre-
dictable and widely varying fi-
nancial awards. The number of
health care liability claims
being filed in the state was dou-
bling every five years. As a re-
sult, hospital malpractice
premiums increased more than
two-fold in just three short
years between 2000 and 2003.
All over the state, but particu-
larly in rural areas, hospitals
were struggling to maintain tra-
ditionally high-risk services
such as labor and delivery,
trauma and emergency care,
and neurosurgery because
physicians were leaving the
state for other locales that
werent quite as litigious. Some
were hanging up their stetho-
scopes altogether.
More than 155 counties in
Texas had no obstetrician in
2003. Pregnant women in South
Texas were driving 100 miles
for prenatal care. Even in
counties that had obstetricians,
the number willing to take on
complicated pregnancies where
a negative outcome was a real
possibility was decreasing.
Neurosurgeons in Dallas,
Austin, and Beaumont were
vanishing -- the result being
that patients did not have access
to a specialist when they
needed one.
H.B. 4 and Proposition 12
sought to remedy this situation
by limiting awards in health
care liability claims for noneco-
nomic damages, such as emo-
tional distress. These awards
are now capped at $750,000
($250,000 for physicians,
$250,000 for the first
hospital/health care facility, and
$250,000 for any additional fa-
cilities). There is no cap on ac-
tual damages, such as loss of
income or medical expenses,
and plaintiffs can still be fully
compensated for their economic
losses and medical expenses.
The reforms have worked.
Record numbers of physicians
are applying for state medical
licenses. In 2012, the Texas
Medical Board licensed 3,630
new doctors, the highest num-
ber of any year on record. Ac-
cording to TMB, 4,610 new
physician applications were
submitted, and 3,594 new
newly licensed. The number of
pediatric subspecialists the
doctors who care for children
with complex and serious con-
ditions has increased more
than 300 percent since 2003.
The number of ER doctors in
rural areas has increased 64
percent, outpacing rural popula-
tion growth by nearly a factor
of 10. Thirty-five rural counties
have added at least one obstetri-
cian, including 14 counties that
previously had none. All these
numbers translate to better ac-
cess to care for Texans.
Hospitals are investing the sav-
ings from reduced liability in-
surance premiums into
technologies and new or ex-
panded service lines to better
meet the needs of their commu-
nities. By one estimate, hospi-
tals have collectively saved
over $100 million a year in
health care liability premiums.
These savings are being used to
implement electronic health
records, establish satellite clin-
ics in underserved areas, and
upgrade medical equipment.
At the same time, hospitals are
investing in quality and patient
safety initiatives to prevent ad-
verse events and errors from
occurring. Texas hospitals are
engaged in a number of patient
safety initiatives, all designed
to prevent medical errors.
Nearly 50 intensive care units
from 35 Texas hospitals and
health systems, for example,
participate in a
statewide ini-
tiative
to re-
duce Cen-
tral
Line-Asso-
ciated Blood
Stream Infec-
tions, one of
the most deadly
and costly of
hospital-acquired
infections. A key
part of this initia-
tive is the mutual
sharing of mistakes,
and the impact cannot
be overstated. The ini-
tiative has achieved a
58 percent reduction in
the number of units (ICUs and
non-ICUs) reporting infections,
thereby reducing morbidity,
mortality, and costs. Likewise,
nearly 80 Texas hospitals have
joined together in the Partner-
ship for Patients to reduce hos-
pital-acquired conditions and
readmissions. This initiative is
highly successful; as of August
2013, more than 60 percent of
participating hospitals are
maintaining a zero rate or are
on target to meet the initiatives
goals for six of 11 conditions.
Texas hospitals and physicians
owe heartfelt thanks to the
Texas lawmakers and voters
who approved H.B. 4 and
Proposition 12 and made Texas
one of the best places in the
country to practice medicine.
Ten years later, with better ac-
cess to care and flourishing pa-
tient safety initiatives, patients
are reaping the benefits.

an organism that can cause serious and sometimes-fatal
infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others
with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals
may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe
headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria
infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant
women.

ages). The products were distributed in the following states: WI,
MN, IA, IL, OH, IN, TX, FL, MA, MO, MI, PA, AZ, CA, and dis-
tributed to retail stores and food services.

San Elizario Historic District:
Designated Official Cultural District
by State of Texas
San Elizario is on the
map! The Texas Commission on the
Arts recently announced the designation of
the San Elizario Cultural Arts District as an
official cultural district for the State of
Texas, elevating San Elizario, to an elite
group of only twenty-four arts communi-
ties across the state.

The San Elizario Historic District has suc-
cessfully undertaken many projects to im-
prove and exemplify the cultural integrity
of the district. They coordinate over 85 an-
nual events in the District and have various
projects underway to improve the general
attractiveness of the area and improve the
tourism impact to the area. The San
Elizario Genealogy and Historical Society,
steward of the designation, worked closely
with State Representative Mary Gonzalez
office in obtaining this designation. It re-
quired gathering letters of support, creating
an application package to highlight the
myriad of cultural and historical offerings
in San Elizario, and hosting community
meetings to inform citizens and businesses of
the intent to apply for the designation.

You are part of a historic group of communities
that have recognized that investing in creative
and artistic ventures offers a good approach to
community revitalization and cultural tourism
Texas Commission on the Arts Deputy Di-
rector, Jim Bob McMillan, wrote in an
email. In Texas, we recognize that a thriv-
ing cultural sector is a powerful economic
development asset. The outcome of a cul-
tural district extends beyond the arts and
cultural sector to benefit the entire commu-
nity.

The San Elizario Historic Cultural District
will dedicate the fourth sculpture, in the San
Elizario Historic District Sculpture Series on
October 27, 2013 during the offi-
cial Cultural District Designation ceremony.
Texas Commission on the Arts Deputy Di-
rector, Jim Bob McMillan will make the of-
ficial presentation at the Los Portales
Museum at 1:00 p.m.

Through this new designation, San
Elizario will gain yet another partner in our
efforts to create awareness about our town,
increase our tourism base and add to the
economic impact the arts already have on
the community. Its a feather in the cap of
every individual, business and attraction in
the San Elizario Historic District and a success
we can all celebrate together said Al Borrego,
President of the San Elizario Genealogy & His-
torical Society and founder of the San Elizario
art movement.

The designation indentifies special zones in
cities and Texas communities that harness the
power of cultural resources to stimulate eco-
nomic development and community revitaliza-
tion. The designation will remain in place for
ten years with the Texas Commission on the
Arts. For additional information, please visit

Last year, APS validated 2,051 victims of
abuse, neglect and exploitation in the El
Paso area. However, studies show that 4
out of 5 incidents of elder abuse are never
reported to the authorities, a stunning re-
minder that "we need to do more to raise
public awareness - that's what this confer-
ence is all about, said Ortiz.
Morning topics will include Domestic Vio-
lence and the Elderly/Disabled and Immi-
grant Benefits for Elderly Immigrant
Victims of Crime. The afternoon will
focus on Financial Scams Targeting Senior
Citizens and adult mental disabilities.
Keynote speaker George Parnham,
a nationally-recognized criminal defense
attorney, will present A View from the De-
fense: Mental Health and the Andrea Yates
Case.
Parnham was thrust into the national spot-
light by representing high-profile clients
Andrea Yates and Clara Harris.
Yates, suffering from postpartum depres-
sion and psychosis, confessed to drowning
her 5 children in the bathtub in a Houston
suburb on June 20, 2001. During her 2006
retrial, Yates was found not guilty by rea-
son of insanity and ordered to a state men-
tal hospital.
Parnham has become an expert on the de-
fense of individuals with mental illness
and a passionate advocate for legal reform
of their treatment in the criminal justice
system.
Parham and his wife created the Yates
Children Memorial Fund in 2002 to spread
the word about mental illness, in general,
and postpartum depression in particular.
With the fund's money and donations,
"we've trained 500 screeners for new
moms, to determine whether they have
symptoms of postpartum depression,"
Parnham told The Atlantic Magazine.
"People now talk about depression. They
now talk about postpartum depression. No
one talked about that 15 years ago."
Parnham is called upon frequently by local
and national news media, as well as State
Bar organizations to render an opinion on
mental health.
"Individuals suffering from mental illness
are at extreme risk for abuse," says Cyn-
thia Vizcarra, APS Subject Matter Expert.
"But their cries for help too often fall on
deaf ears and can result in tragic situations,
sometimes life or death situations, which
may have been preventable."
"We're hoping to transform public attitudes
to view mental disorders as real illnesses,
equal to physical illnesses, which respond
to specific treatments."
APS urges everyone to be on the lookout
for signs of abuse, neglect or financial ex-
ploitation of elderly or disabled adults. If
suspected, call 1-800-252-5400 and file a
report so APS and law enforcement can in-
vestigate. Or you can report online at Tx-
AbuseHotline.org.
Facts and Figures:
Adult Protective
Services
Adult Protective Services (APS) investi-
gates allegations of abuse, neglect and ex-
ploitation of the elderly or adults with
disabilities. When maltreatment is con-
firmed, APS provides or arranges services
in an attempt to alleviate the problem.
El Paso has more than 87-thousand resi-
dents age 65 or older and more than 52-
thousand adults with disabilities.
In 2012, APS validated 2,051 victims of
abuse, neglect and exploitation in the El

Time-of-day Watering
Schedule Ends Sep 30
Odd/Even watering schedule continues year-round
EL PASO Beginning Tuesday, October
1st, El Pasoans will once again be able to
water their lawns at any time on desig-
nated days. The watering days schedule
will remain in effect.
The water conservation ordinance allows
outdoor watering at any time on desig-
nated watering days between Oct. 1 and
March 31. Customers with even-num-
bered addresses may water on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays. Those with
odd-numbered addresses may water on
Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Landscape irrigation for parks, schools,
cemeteries, golf courses and industrial
sites is permitted on Mondays, Wednes-
days or Fridays.
Since the conservation ordinance was
adopted in 1991, El Paso residents have
reduced water waste by taking shorter
showers, repairing leaky faucets, and
adopting other water-saving habits. At
the same time, they've installed water-ef-
ficient plumbing fixtures and appliances
and planted low-water use landscapes.
Per person water use, which averaged
nearly 200 gallons per day in 2000, aver-
aged only 134 gallons per day last year.
Water conservation is an important part
of El Paso Water Utilities' water re-
sources management plan. EPWU bal-
ances river water, underground water,
desalination and water reuse to ensure a
sustainable water supply for the future.

BAL FOLCLRICO DA BAHIA
returns to the Sun City November
12, 2013, UTEP Magoffin Audito-
rium, 7:00PM.
Known for their sensuous moves,
vibrant costumes, and scintillating
rhythms, Bal Folclrico da Bahia
performs traditional Bahian folk-
loric dance forms including slave
dances, capoeira (a form of martial
arts), samba, and those that cele-
brate Carnival.
The diverse troupe of dancers, mu-
sicians, and singers brings together
this wide variety of dance styles
into one grand performance rich in
color, sound and movement. The
strong historic influence of the
African slaves, Portuguese people
and Indgena natives created a rich
mixed culture in which the stroll,
the smile, the flirtation, the glance,
the face, the voice, the skin and the
color of the Bahian people are
unique in the world.
This rich variety of influences is
translated into a contemporary the-
atrical vision of several Bahian
folktales, as well as modern forms
such as Samba Reggae. The stage
show of Bal Folclrico da Bahia
will have the audience in awe.
Bal Folclrico da Bahia made its
European debut in 1992 when it
participated in Berlins Alexander
Platz International Festival and
drew an audience of 50,000.
Its most prestigious international
engagement to date has been a
spectacularly successful appearance
at the Biennale de la Danse in
Lyon, France. From among the
cover companies from four conti-
nents participating, the "New York
Times" commented that this Brazil-
ian company exemplified the festi-
vals celebration of Africanderived
dance. Most recently, BFB per-
formed for theopening ceremony
2010 FIFA World Cup tournament
in South Africa.
Their 2013 North Ameri-
can tour is a CELEBRA-
TION of their 25th
ANNIVERSARY.
Tickets available at the UTEP

As the weather cools down, the fall
style trends heat up, and many of us
head to the stores and surf the In-
ternet to see what we can add to
our wardrobes to celebrate the
change of seasons. It may seem like
we girls have all the fashion fun, but
there are plenty of ways you guys
can put some newness into your
closets, too.
Here is a roundup of the top 10
items to put on your fall checklist
suggested by Tom Julian and
other menswear experts at the
Doneger Group, a fashion retail
and consulting group.
1. The crewneck
sweatshirt We have
observed the emerging athletic in-
fluence into leisure dressing (which
we call ath-leisure), and as a result,
the crewneck sweatshirt looks great
with items like premium or designer
denim or five-pocket rich colored
corduroys. Look for sweatshirts that
are pieced fabrics or detailed with
knit wristbands or neck collars.
2. Cardigan
sweaters The alterna-
tives to casual sport coats. Wear the
cardigan with patterned shirts, ac-
cessorized with a knit tie or bow tie.
Take note that some cardigans are
designed with shawl collars or with
full lapels.
3. The printed
shirt A great visual focus for
a wardrobe from the traditional guy
who might like a small foulard pat-
tern style button-down sport shirt to
wear quilted vest and khaki pants or
to the modern guy who might like a
paisley print dress shirt with a dark
slim suit and no tie.
4. The work
shirt/shirt jacket
A weekend outerwear option that
works well with a chambray shirt,
flannel shirt or plaid shirt and worn
with denim or cords. We also like
the jacket around 30" to 32" in
length.
5. Slim-fit Sport
Coats Think two-button,
narrow lapel (from 2-3" wide) with a
clean silhouette and flap besom
pockets. We would use the slim
sport coat only with flat front pants,
denim jeans or dress wool flannel
trousers. Directional dressers are
using the slim fit cargo with the slim
fit sport coat.
6. Corduroy Pants
Pants with
texture from
five-pocket
jean styles in
thin wale to
tailored dress
styles in a
wider wale
with creased
seams (a
product that
would require
dry clean-
ing). Also,
some cords
are mixed
with stretch
fabric for
comfort and wearability.
7. Wool Trousers
Dress pants that range from
Super 100 performance wools to
wool blends for small checks,
tweeds and herringbone patterns.
We like the trousers dressed up with
a shirt and tie or a lean looking
turtleneck.
8. Modern-fit
jeans Time for men to go
modern in jean silhouettes. Look for
slim or straight over boot cut or re-
laxed fit. We also like the Japanese
denim (darker, heavier) with selvage
or the red interior stitching that al-
lows one to cuff the jean and show
the hem.
9. The biker jacket
Classic and cool ala James
Dean, or edgy and rock cool like
Adam Levine. The jacket can be all
leather or pieced leather. It can be
cropped and asymmetric in cut or
blouson. We like the Biker jacket
worn with a long-sleeve, v-neck t-
shirt and black jeans. The classic
jacket is still zipper front and
adorned with quilting, seaming and
banded collar.
10. Urban Boots
From the ankle boot to the Chelsea
boot, from the biker boot to the
rugged country style, the boot op-
tions are endless for men. We like
seeing a boot added to the mix of
wing tips, canvas lace-ups, driving
shoes, sneakers and leather loafers.
Boots are now a year-round fashion
must-have.

Co-Worker is Nervous to Date
Dear John, There is this girl I really
like at work. She recently broke up with her
boyfriend. I asked her out, but she doesn't want
to go out with coworkers because of something
in her past. This would all be fine, but we have
so much fun together, and I'm definitely falling
for her. I don't think she realizes this, but I really
care for her. What Now? in Columbia, Mo.
Dear What Now, Her caution in
dating a coworker is understandable. Should a
couple who meet at work eventually break up,
spending eight hours a day in the same profes-
sional environment can be emotionally difficult
for one or both individuals involved. Honor her
request by keeping a respectful distance, but
demonstrate your feelings with kindness and
consideration that demonstrates your kind and
thoughtful intentions.
Eventually she may get over her hesitations and
agree to a date. You can't rush her, but you can
show her your feelings in a way that allows her
to consider them and respond in kind.
Dear John, I've heard that it is ex-
tremely unwise to become too involved with
someone you've met over the Internet. Despite
this, I have been corresponding with a man in
Oxford, England, and the relationship is deepen-
ing.
Unfortunately, it is taking on sexual overtones
that makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. It seems
silly, but there is a wide range of meanings given
to the same word in each country. I'd like a sug-
gestion of a good American-English/British-Eng-
lish dictionary. Do you have one?
Communication Issues in Philadelphia, Pa.
Dear Issues, No, sorry, I don't have
any suggestion other than doing a Google search
for such a dictionary. But I do have this advice:
Whether your e-pal is being blunt or using collo-
quialisms is beside the point.
What does matter is the fact that this bothers
you. As the expression goes, it's not how you say
it, but what you say. In all relationships, love and
respect is demonstrated in both actions and
words. His emails are a window into how he
views sex and relationships. If you feel this
leaves a lot to be desired, look elsewhere for an
online or offline relationship.

uted by Creators Syndicate. John Gray is the au-

Think Local For a
Stronger Economy!
Have you noticed
that some commu-
nities are suffering
less than others in
times of economic
downturn? In communi-
ties with a strong localized
economy, there is less fluctua-
tion, and more money flowing
from local business to local
business. These communities
tend to have a higher quality of
life, lower crime rates and a
friendlier, more neighborly atti-
tude. What makes these towns
different? They think local!
Many towns are realizing that
local independent businesses
return more money to the local
economy than the national
chain stores. Towns that are
able to grow a good amount of
their food, and source many of
their consumer goods and serv-
ices through local manufactur-
ing and businesses are much
more financially stable in un-
certain times. They are also
more sustainable, and have a
lower carbon footprint.
Local businesses are not ship-
ping goods over thousands of
miles and paying the higher
fuel costs. Also, they tend to
bank local, advertise in local
papers, purchase local, use
local contractors and pay good
wages and benefits to local
people. That keeps money
bouncing around longer in the
local community. Each time
that money passes through an-
other pair of local hands, it im-
proves the local economy a
little more.
A recent study revealed that $1
earned by a local farmer had
the impact of $2 on the
farmer's community because it
changed hands so many times
locally.
"About 42 percent of our econ-
omy is 'place based' or created
through small, locally-owned
businesses," notes economist
and author, Michael Shuman.
He estimates that we could ex-
pand this figure to 70 percent
or more by localizing some of
our main expenditures. In the
process, we would boost our
local economy, and save
money at the same time.
Local Food: Most of
our urban areas are surrounded
by farms that produce lots of
local foods, which are shipped
thousands of miles away. Ironi-
cally, 75 percent of fresh ap-
ples eaten in New York City
come from Washington State
and foreign countries. Mean-
while, a few miles upstate in
New York, farmers grow 10
times more apples than the Big
Apple consumes. If we all
started eating closer to home
say within a 100 mile radius
eating in season and lower
on the food chain, we could lo-
calize our food system.
Local electricity:
The electricity for our houses
and businesses most often
flows through hundreds of
miles of power lines from the
source to our home. Imagine if
cul-de-sac residents teamed up
and purchased a communal
wind turbine, or set up solar
panels on all the southern-fac-
ing garage roofs. We could cre-
ate a series of small-scale
energy providers that could po-
tentially meet their own power
needs.
In my community, a waste-re-
cycling entrepreneur has found
a way to generate electricity
from bagged household
garbage. Also, a farmer has de-
veloped a way to turn old hay
and agricultural waste into pel-
lets for home heating. Two
huge leaks in my local econ-
omy could be met locally if we
started using heat and power
more efficiently.
Suburban re-
newal: If we relocalized our
towns so that residents could
walk to the farmers market,
hardware store, library and post
office all in the same area, we
wouldn't have to drive so
much. Driving is expensive and
environmentally devastating.
When you walk or bicycle you
go slower, appreciate the archi-
tecture and history, wave to the
neighbors and possibly engage
in conversation. This kind of
walkable downtown encour-
ages local spending and rein-
forces community bonds.
Local currency: If
you want to stimulate eco-
nomic growth in a geographic
region, one tried-and-true
method is to generate a local
currency. It functions like the
good old dollar, but is not legal
tender; instead it is more like a
local barter. The people who
use local currency make a con-
scious commitment to buy
local first. CONT.P/23
When you spend a dollar at a
local farm, it has the economic
impact of two dollars on the
farmer's economy.
I Hope This Brings Comfort to Your Daughter
'Tween 12 and 20 BY dr. roBerT wallace
DR. WALLACE: I have a very disturbing
problem regarding our 19-year-old daugh-
ter. Crystal has been suffering from severe
depression for nearly nine months. Her
boyfriend and his friend had been drinking,
and he was speeding when the car he was
driving missed a curve and smashed into a
tree. Her boyfriend was killed instantly, and
his friend died in the hospital a few days
later. Neither boy was wearing a seatbelt.
Our daughter has been unable to function
normally ever since the accident. She has
received psychiatric therapy, but it hasn't
helped her. Crystal is a very bright girl, and
she was attending a community college at
the time of the accident. She became ex-
tremely emotional after she got this shock-
ing news and quit attending classes.
My husband and I are very concerned
about her failure to cope with her life. There
are times when she tells us that she is find-
ing it very difficult to go on living. We are
doing everything we can to help her return
to the happy young woman she once was.
I remember that, some time ago, you
printed a letter from a young girl who wrote
about her failed "suicide" after she jumped
off a bridge. It was a very touching letter
and I wonder if you could please print it
again because I would like for Crystal to
read it. Mother, Sacramento, Calif.
MOTHER: I hope this letter brings comfort
to your daughter:
DR. WALLACE: I'm not writing because I
have a problem, but instead, to share a
message with my fellow teens who might
be thinking of doing something that I have
tried suicide.

Several years ago, I was to-
tally alone and depressed. I
honestly believed that nobody
loved me or even cared for
me. My depression led me to
an 80-foot-high bridge near
San Francisco, and my loneli-
ness told me to jump. Once I
was airborne, I realized I did-
n't want to die. Fortunately,
God allowed me to live.
The jump broke all the bones
in my ankles and crushed
both heels. My hip was bro-
ken in three places, and I also
broke my back. My hospital
stay lasted over three months.
All of this happened because
I thought, "What difference
does it make? Nobody cares
about me."
I am once again walking but
with a noticeable limp. I can't
stand too long, and I can't
bend my back at all. Besides
many scars over my feet and
legs, my rib cage is lower, and
I'm one and a half inches
shorter now than I was before
I took the plunge.
I learned the hard way that
people really did love me. My
body will never be the same,
but my spirit is at an all-time
high. My mind is at ease and
my future is bright.
Teens, please look around
you. People do love and care
for you even if they don't ex-
press it in words. For those of
you who look around and still
feel lost, I love you, and so
does God. We both care what
happens to you! Nameless,
San Francisco. Calif.

The Joys of Raising Financially Confident Teens
DEAR MARY: As a teen, my daughter
wanted name brand jeans, clothing, shoes what-
ever she thought all of the "cool" kids had. She
wouldn't step into a thrift shop or discount store. It
was a constant battle until I decided that she would
have a clothing/necessity allowance.
I gave her a set amount of money each month to
cover those expenses. If there was an event coming
up, she would need to save ahead to pay for whatever
she needed, including her prom gown and all the ac-
cessories.
It worked wonderfully. She learned to sit down and
figure out what she really needed and then budget for
it. She began shopping at thrift stores and discount
stores to save money. She learned to make long-range
plans. It was a valuable lesson that I wished I'd
started earlier! Margaret, email
DEAR MARGARET: The longer I live
the more convinced I am that the only way to train
children to be financially confident in ways that will
extend far into their adult years is to give them the
ability to make their own independent financial deci-
sions while they are still young then require them
to live with the consequences of those decisions,
good or bad. I applaud your decision to give your
daughter the opportunity and the mandate to manage
money while she was still under your authority.
DEAR MARY: I am in a quandary. My
daughter, 14, has earned enough money to purchase
her own e-reader. In order to use the device to down-
load things, she must have a credit card on file. She is
a responsible young lady, and I have no fear she will
abide by rules I set. Thanks for your advice on the
best way to handle this situation. Kathline K.,
email
DEAR KATHLINE: I suggest that you
add your daughter to your existing credit card as an
"authorized user." This will give her the legal right to
use the account in her name but without any legal re-
sponsibility for repaying the credit card balance.
As an authorized user, your good credit history will
begin showing up in her credit file. Even at her tender
age, she will begin to build a good credit record by
piggybacking onto your credit history.
Just beware that as an authorized user, she could go
crazy and charge up the account to the limit, without
you knowing. She would have no legal obligation to
repay the debt and you would have no legal recourse
to make her.
Her potential downside is that your credit behavior,
as the account holder, could take a dive sending all
kinds of negative information to her account.
While these possibilities exist, I would say the
chances of things turning sour would be slim to none
for you and your daughter. Congratulations for hav-
ing raised your daughter to be respon-
sible enough to have earned your
trust in this way. I wish you
both the best.

Jerusalem Remains Israel's Most Essential Site
By Robert Selwitz
Jerusalem is Israel's No.
1 destination for many
reasons. Almost everyone who
visits the country spends time in this
history-rich political hotbed that has
been fought over since its creation
some 3,000 years ago.
The walled Old City is the heart of the
action. Covering 220 acres, the area is
surrounded by 2.5 miles of walls with
an average height of 39 feet. Buses
aren't allowed inside, so the only way
to see it whether in a group or on
your own is by foot. Ottoman ruler
Suleiman the Magnificent erected
these walls between 1537 and 1541.
Of the 11 gates, seven are currently
open.
The Old City is divided into Armen-
ian, Christian, Jewish and Muslim
quarters. The Jaffa Gate is the most
popular entry point. To the right
stands David's Tower, part of a citadel
that's intriguing but wildly misnamed.
King David was long gone before
Roman King Herod built it. Later Ro-
mans destroyed the fortress during the
first Jewish revolt in the years 66 to
70.
Subsequent centuries saw various
Crusaders, Mamaluk and other Mus-
lim people build and ransack it. What
you see today are remnants of con-
struction by 16th-century Ottomans.
The "tower," actually a minaret, is part
of the citadel that contains interesting
historical items and offers fabulous
Old City views.
The 14 Stations of the Cross and the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre are an-
cient Jerusalem's prime draws for
Christians. The stations whose lo-
cations
were determined by St. Helena ap-
proximately three centuries after
Christ's death mark the places he
traveled en route to his crucifixion.
St. Helena was the mother of Roman
Emperor Constantine, who in 312 le-
galized Christianity. She not only
identified specific locations many
of which are now found along the Via
Dolorosa but erected the church
within which at least five of the sta-
tions are found. These include the
sites of the crucifixion, Christ's tomb
and the resurrection.
While Via Dolorosa gets
crowded, it's nothing com-
pared to the church's inte-
rior, which actually
includes multiple churches,
all under one roof. Armen-
ian, Coptic, Greek Ortho-
dox and Roman Catholic
clergy control separate
areas.
The Western Wall, originally con-
structed as a retaining wall for the sec-
ond temple the Romans destroyed in
A.D. 70, is Judaism's holiest site. Day
and night, men and woman (in sepa-
rate sections) pray before the wall. In
addition, many people insert written
prayers into crevices between the
blocks. There is also an underground
portion of the wall that can be viewed
via a fascinating but strictly controlled
tour.
The actual site of the former temple is
now occupied by the gold-topped
Dome of the Rock. This shrine
from which Muslims believe
Mohammed ascended to heaven
and the Al-Aqsa mosque can-
not be entered by non-Muslims.
Nevertheless, they can be viewed
from many elevated spots within
the Jewish Quarter, the most user-
friendly and comfortable part of
the Old City. One
reason is that so much of it was rebuilt
following its capture by Israeli forces
during the 1967 Six Day War.
Much of the area and its monuments
were destroyed by Jordanians during
their years of occupation. During the
intensive excavation and reconstruc-
tion that followed, archaeologists
made some amazing discoveries.
These include the Cardo, a Roman av-
enue complete with copious columns.
Also, new plazas and revitalized areas
were created. A visit to the Wohl Mu-
seum, under which extensive Roman
foundations were uncovered, is also
fascinating.
Of course there are plenty of intrigu-
ing byways throughout the Old City.
Particularly in less-touristy areas such
as the more distant portions of the
Muslim Quarter, you can find yourself
in unscripted moments. For instance,
while walking past a row of basic
shops, my wife and I suddenly were in
the midst of a funeral procession
where a green-wrapped coffin was
being borne on the shoulders of be-
reaved men.
Outside the Old City, museums and
intriguing neighborhoods abound. We
spent six hours at the Israel Museum,
home of the world-famous Dead Sea
Scrolls. On display through Jan. 4 is a
fascinating exhibit about the life and
architecture of Herod the Great.
We spent extended time at the second
rendition of Yad Vashem, Israel's main
Holocaust history museum, and we
also took a free tour of the Knes-
set, Israel's parliament; strolled
through and dined at some of
the superb restaurants along
Ben Yehuda Street and Jaffa
Road; and wended through
the Mea Shearim district,
heart of
Jerusalem's ultra-orthodox and Chas-
sidic community.
Beyond Jerusalem there are must-sees
that are difficult or impossible to
reach without a guide. The most fa-
mous of these is Masada the desert
fortress built by Herod. Ultimately,
Jewish Zealots held off Romans for
years before killing themselves to
avoid enslavement.
To reach the site 60 miles outside
Jerusalem we hired a taxi driver we
had earlier encountered. We had liked
his personality and his English was
good, so we paid him the equivalent
of two tour tickets to take us to
Masada; visit Qumran, where the
Dead Sea Scrolls were found; and to
return via Jericho. Our four
unrushed hours at Masada seeing the
fortifications, cisterns and palace ruins
provided an incredible experience.
Another highlight was an excursion to
Hebron and Bethlehem, both within
the Palestinian West Bank, that was
operated by Green Olive Tours. Every
day they take vanloads from the front
of Jerusalem's YMCA through the
border checkpoints. Then, with the ad-
dition of a Palestine-based guide, we
headed to Hebron to begin our visit.
Men and women pray in separate sectors at Jerusalem's Western Wall.

This is the break we've been wait-
ing for, a calm before the flurry of
activity that will accompany the
end of the year. Venus sees it as her
chance to steal the spotlight and put
on a show. The love goddess leaps
into Sagittarius and turns up the so-
cial energy, as well as making room
for expansion and experimentation in
matters of the heart. Between Venus
and other Libran influences, relation-
ships get our best attention.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Relation-
ships change. That is a fact of life, and
it doesn't have to be a scary one. Your
spirit of adventure allows you to wel-
come change, and in the process,
you'll make the more nervous types
around you feel more comfortable
with the inevitable adjustments that
need to be made.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The dif-
ference between success and failure
in this matter lies on either side of
your head. Listen carefully to what
people need and want. This is the
step that many people are missing.
You can only tweak your offerings to
meet the demand if you understand
what the demand is in the first place.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you
were small and didn't know your own
address and phone number, someone
looked out for you and kept you safe.
Now you'll do the same for a person
who for one reason or another needs
a guardian. Knowing that you can take
care of yourself and others regardless
of what happens is a very secure feel-
ing.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You work
at not needing the approval of others,
but you can't help feeling better when
this approval is forthcoming. It's not
your fault that you were hardwired as
a social creature. Besides, some de-
gree of people-pleasing will help you
get where you want to go. Just keep it
in check. Moderation will serve you
well.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Chitchat can
make people feel comfortable, but too
much of it has the opposite effect.
Keep in mind that constant chatter is
a sign of insecurity. If you're going to
err, it's better to err on the side of
mystery. Also, someone will entrust
you with privileged information and
expect you to stay tight-lipped.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). "Fantasy
you" visits your mental landscape this
week. Is this vision in your head em-
powering or belittling to your psyche?
It depends on how far away you are
from this version of you. It's likely you
will have to let go of who you think
you should be in order to be (and
love) who you are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Avoid trying
to solve problems that no one asked
you to solve. Many times people talk
about their problems because they
just want to let off steam. They feel
better after sharing with you even if
you don't offer much on the subjects
they bring up. Connection is about
sharing an emotion, not about fixing
things.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are
knowledgeable and have much to
share, but it's more than likely that the
people you'll converse with don't need
your information. What they want from
you is an exchange of emotion. When
you put this at the forefront of your
mind, you'll fall into a happy rhythm
and relate very well to those around
you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You'll plan well and prepare for many
possible outcomes. Still, there are
things you can't control and predict.
You'll have evidence of this late in the
week. Living with uncertainty is a kind
of art form. Throw up your hands and
make something beautiful out of the
unbridled energy and unexpected re-
sults.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You're looking for a strategy that will
heal a part of your life that isn't work-
ing right. The best strategy is to ac-
cept the broken way it is and stop
trying so hard to fix it. Back off and
trust that your life is like your body: It
built itself, and it knows how to mend
itself, too. You just have to give it the
space and time to do that.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There
are people who believe that life is
messy and that's just the way it is. You
see the mess and go for your broom.
You might not be able to permanently
fix the problem, but you can arrange
your emotional and physical environ-
ments in a lovelier and more organ-
ized state that lasts for a good stretch
of time.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Self-con-
trol is a virtue, but don't go overboard.
Keeping too tight a rein on your re-
sponses will suck the fun out of your
interactions. People like the wild card
that's you. Don't worry about mak-
ing a mistake. It could be what brings
people together after the momentary
embarrassment has passed.
THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: A spe-
cial relationship has you adventuring
through the next seven weeks. You'll
be paid well in November, but don't let
that dissuade you from pushing for-
ward to gain more expertise. Higher
education will net you bigger profits in
2014. Pursue a hobby, and this will
connect you with political power. You
never used to care about power, but
you'll notice that, whether a group is
big or small, it's easier for you to get
what you need and want when you
have more influence.

DEAR ABBY by Abigail Van Buren
HUSBAND'S ANXIETY THREATENS TO
PUSH WIFE OVER THE EDGE
Last Laughs
DEAR ABBY: I have been
married to my best friend,
"Blake," for two years. A year
ago he started having panic at-
tacks, so I made an appoint-
ment for him with his doctor.
After checking him for every-
thing, including heart failure,
the doctor diagnosed him with
anxiety.
Since his diagnosis,
Blake is scared to leave the
house. I have been working two
jobs to make ends meet be-
cause he says he "can't work."
This has taken a toll on our
marriage. We have three kids
and a lot of bills.
Blake is on medica-
tion and has tried many differ-
ent ones, but they aren't
working. All he talks about is
his anxiety and every little ache
or pain. He thinks he's going to
have a heart attack.
I am fed up with it,
while he says I just "don't un-
derstand anxiety." Sometimes I
think he's making his anxiety
worse. I don't know what to be-
lieve or what to do. Any sug-
gestions? -- STRESSED IN
VIRGINIA
DEAR STRESSED: Yes, I
do have one. Your husband
should be seen by a licensed
mental health professional
(psychologist) who works with
a psychiatrist. He may need
more than medication to help
him conquer his anxiety disor-
der. He might do better with a
combination of talk therapy in
addition to his meds.
Please urge your hus-
band to do this because the
aches, pains and anxiety he's
experiencing may seem like
they're all in his head to you,
but they're real to him. It could
save your marriage.
**
DEAR ABBY: My husband
and daughters and I enjoy a
beach trip every year. With our
busy lives, it's the one time in
the year we are able to be to-
gether and relax. Although we
have invited friends and family
over the years to join us, I have
never invited my sister. She
keeps bringing it up and por-
trays me as the snobby sister.
The truth is she has
two undisciplined children
whom I can't stand to be
around. I suspect she just wants
to join us so she can pawn her
kids off on me while she and
her husband relax.
My mother is now
telling me I'm selfish and not
being a good sister. Must I sac-
rifice my one week a year at
the beach to make my sister
feel better? Please advise. --
IT'S MY VACATION
DEAR MY VACATION:
Considering that you have in-
vited friends and family to join
you, but not your sister, I can
see how she might feel
snubbed. Has no one told her
your reason for not inviting her
and her family to join you? If
not, someone should, because it
might motivate her to assert
more control over her children.
If she takes offense, however,
you will be off the hook be-
cause SHE will no longer want
to socialize with YOU.
**
DEAR ABBY: We have a
housecleaner once a month.
Last month, I offered her some
grapefruit from our tree and she
took six. This month, she
helped herself to all of the fruit
that was left on the tree! She
didn't ask permission, and she
didn't tell me she had done it. I
happened to see her put it into
her car.
I consider this to be
stealing, but my husband does
not. Because she took the fruit
without permission and without
telling me, do you consider it
stealing? -- "ANITA" IN
FLORIDA
DEAR "ANITA": The
woman may have assumed you
wouldn't mind if she took the
fruit because you had offered it
to her the month before. (Did
you say she could take only
six?) Rather than call this steal-
ing, I would call it a misunder-
standing. Clear it up by telling
your housecleaner that you
want nothing removed from
your premises unless you have
SPECIFICALLY told her she
may have it.

The Tao of Candace: Change
Your Mind; Change Your
Health
These days, most of
us have a vague sense that, yes,
our bodies and minds are some-
how connected. Difficult day?
Crushing headache? Reach for
the Tylenol.
But when Dr. Candace Pert, a
molecular biologist and phar-
macologist studying and map-
ping brain peptides, worked as
a research scientist in the early
'70s the mind-body connec-
tion was, well, a thing of the
past.
For thousands of years, Eastern
medicine influenced by
chakras, meridians and subtle
energies has believed in the
intrinsic interconnection of
mind and body.
For hundreds of years, Western
medicine influenced by
Descartes, the Church and too
much processed food re-
jected the mind-body connec-
tion, insisting they were distinct
unconnected entities.
That's all changing now, cau-
tiously but dramatically. It's
been scientifically proven time
and time again, by Dr. Pert and
many illustrious others, that the
mind and the body are inextri-
cably biochemically linked.
The two form one formless
mind-body a vibrating, pul-
sating, intelligent system. If
your primary doctor doesn't un-
derstand this, kiss him goodbye
and find one who does.
Our mind is not only in our
brain, Dr. Pert discovered. The
mind is actually our entire
body. It exists in every cell.
Our emotions are in our bodies,
too. (That's why a great mas-
sage can give us a deep emo-
tional release.)
And furthermore, your emo-
tions both your feelings and
your thoughts are the links
that connect your mind and
body, which is why a shift to-
ward positivity can help heal.
Difficult day at work? Crushing
headache? Reach for the medi-
tation cushion.
Even when we are
stuck emotionally,
fixated on a version
of reality that does
not serve us well,
there is always a
biochemical poten-
tial for change and
growth, according to
Dr. Pert.
She demonstrates that and
much more in her ground
breaking work, "Molecules of
Emotion: The Science behind
Mind-Body Medicine".
It's been translated into 10 lan-
guages. It stayed on the best-
seller list for 15 years and has
helped establish her as a lead-
ing guru in a field that is evolv-
ing and in some places explod-
ing, thanks to consumer
demand.
By her own account, Dr. Pert
went from hardcore conven-
tional scientist to New Age
diva, a doctor of pure science
who came to believe in intu-
ition, intention and spirituality
as powerful healing forces.
"How you think and feel
your emotional state at any
given moment can actually
impact the movement, division
and every other activity of your
cells," she wrote.
"There is no objective reality," I
watched Dr. Pert tell her audi-
ence in 2012, captured on
YouTube. "Reality is what you
make it."
Dr. Pert died of a heart attack
on Sept. 12, 2013. You can fol-
low her unfolding story on
www.candacepert.com
. During her lifetime, she au-
thored more than 250 scientific
papers, started a company to
advance Peptide T Therapy for
AIDS patients and was featured
in the 2004 documentary
"What the Bleep Do
We Know?" It's an eye-
opener, now free on YouTube.
I didn't know Pert, but I know
her work and have a sense of
her journey. At the start of a
huge career, she was the chief
of brain biochemistry at the Na-
tional Institute of Mental
Health. By the close, she was
convinced that if we do the
work of tuning into to our vi-
brational energetic mind-bodies
(through chakra work, music,
breathing, attention), we can
help make healthy change hap-
pen. Her latest work? A medita-
tion/relaxation CD called
"Healing the Hurting, Shining
the Light," a collaboration with
her musician son.
"It's really about internal bliss,"
she summed up in a public talk
just last April. "We're hard
wired for bliss. It's our natural
state."
Dr. Pert's natural state was trou-
bled from time to time, accord-
ing to her second and final
book, " Everything You
Need to Know to Feel
Go(o)d." In it she writes
about the highly addictive na-
ture of sugar, about the dangers
of excitotoxins (such as MSG
and the artificial sugar called
aspartame) and about the im-
portance of telling your mind-
body your whole self a
good story.
"We all get to create our own
version of what's going on," she
whispered, and sometimes
yelled, in our ears. It's useless
to blame others. To feel good,
she concluded, you must har-
monize your mind-body best
you can. And then deeply,
emotionally, authentically
tune into the joy of living.
Deep bow, Candice Pert.

They are taking personal responsibility for the
health and well-being of their community. This
also distinguishes local businesses that accept the
currency as those who have made the same com-
mitment.
The state of Vermont recently issued its own cur-
rency Vermont Freedom Currency which is
a silver coin worth 10 Credits. Vermonters can use
the coin for any service, fee or tax throughout the
state, or as barter currency accepted by certain in-
dividuals and businesses. These coins circulate
through Vermont and have proven to be a real
economic stimulus as people have fewer qualms
about spending the Vermont currency freely.
While you may not be able to buy everything you
want locally, chances are if you can't find it in a
local store, at a yard sale, or on Craigslist, you
could probably do without it.

Think Local...
Though now almost all of its approximately
170,000 residents are Palestinian, there are 500
to 700 Jews living here in an enclave protected
by some 2,000 to 3,000 Israeli soldiers. We
went first to the Tomb of the Patriarch, the
repository of the bodies of Abraham, Isaac,
Jacob and their wives. The partitioned building
has separate entrances: one for Jews and an-
other for Muslims and others.
Within the Muslim section we saw not only the
tombs but also dozens of bullet holes each
clearly marked the result of a 1994 massacre
of 29 worshippers by an Israeli doctor. After
exiting and re-entering the Jewish side, we saw
men and women studying and praying sepa-
rately. All were protected by guards carrying
automatic weapons.
Later we strolled the nearby deserted streets
that once were part of a vibrant commercial and
living area but were now bereft of people and
shops. Our guide said this was the result of re-
strictions and street closures imposed by Israeli
defense forces.
After Hebron we moved on to Bethlehem,
where we visited the
Church of the Nativity. It was commissioned by
St. Helena and Emperor Constantine in 327.
Today a bright silver star embedded in an un-
derground grotto marks the spot where Christ is
believed to have been born.

Pumpkins Not
Fruiting
Q: I planted 100 pumpkin seeds of
40 to 50 pounders, and they all came
up and are growing great. However,
out of the 100 plants, I only have 19
pumpkins growing. Practically 99 per-
cent are male blossoms. I blame it on
the variety and next year, will plant
another kind. I can't blame it on the
weather, it has been great so, what is
the problem? I have a different variety,
that grows 30 to 40 pound pumpkins
growing next to the large ones and I
have maybe 30 or 40 pumpkins out of
100 plants. That is better, but I will not
have much to sell, and I will be out of
a lot of money. Do you have any ad-
vice for next year?
A: I have had several people ask
about pumpkins that are not producing
fruit. One situation had several people
plant pumpkin seeds that came from
the same package into three different
gardens. One garden is producing
pumpkins and the other two are not.
Pumpkins are a tough crop to sell, un-
less you can do it by the acreage.
Pumpkin plants often only bear one or
two large pumpkin fruit, but can bear
eight or more of the small ornamental
pumpkins. If the one or two large
fruited pumpkins abort when they are
small, you lose all the production from
that one plant. Pumpkin plants only
produce male flowers when the vines
are starting to grow and then have a
mix of male and female flowers after
each branch of the vine has around 8
to 10 leaves, which are necessary for
food production for the fruit.
Pumpkins need a lot of water to pro-
duce fruit, especially large to very
large pumpkins. If the soil dries out,
female flowers may not be produced
or the small pumpkins may drop off
the vine. Too much water in the soil
can kill some roots and cause the same
stress as not enough water in the soil.
The best pumpkin production occurs
when they are watered very regularly.
Pumpkin fruit are not just water. They
have a lot of starch, sugar and other
chemicals in the seeds and the meat of
the fruit. All of these chemicals are
produced in the leaves. Many of these
chemical processes shut down if the
vine is stressed from temperatures in
the 90s and nighttime temps in the
70s. They may not produce female
flowers and already pollinated female
flowers will fall off if the plant gets
stressed from high temperatures.
Pumpkin pollen can die or not germi-
nate properly if the temperatures are in
the 90s.
Too dense of a planting of pumpkins
can have so many leaves that bees
may not find the female flowers on the
single morning they can be pollinated,
so the flowers fall off. Pumpkin flow-
ers with inadequate pollination will
fall off and each female flower re-
quires several bee visits for successful
pollination. Pumpkin crops can sustain
a honeybee colony for each acre of
pumpkins.
Other factors can cause low pumpkin
production. Too much nitrogen fertil-
izer could cause the plant to grow
large leaves and long vines but not
produce many female flowers. Heavy
insect damage from squash bugs can
kill female flowers and small pump-
kins, lowering the amount of starches
produced and thus the fruit remain
small.
Generally, pumpkin plants will pro-
duce female flowers once the condi-
tions are favorable. This may be too
late in the season to grow big pump-
kins or even for small ones to mature
before the expected sales date. Check
the seed package information on tim-
ing from planting to harvest. Use
pumpkins with different maturity dates
and plant some of each variety early
and some later so that some pumpkins
are producing female flowers all sea-
son long, no matter what the weather
does.

Asian Elephant Receiv-
ing Western and Alter-
native Therapies
El Paso, Texas (September 25,
2013) El Paso Zoos Asian
elephant, Savannah, turning 61-
years-old this month, is receiv-
ing special care from staff at
the El Paso Zoo. Savannah is
currently receiving treatment to
help her with stiffness in her
left elbow.
Joint problems are common in
geriatric animals. We are com-
mitted to continuing to tailor
Savannahs care to keep her
comfortable and do all we can
for this and any other problems
that arise as she gets older,
said Zoo Veterinarian Victoria
Milne.
The median life expectancy of
a female Asian elephant is
about 47 years. According to
records, only three other female
Asian elephants in North Amer-
ica are older than Savannah.
Visitors may notice Savannah
swinging her leg outward to
walk, but staff says she isnt
showing signs of pain. She
continues to lay down on sand
mounds in her indoor living
quarters and outdoor habitat.
Sand mounds make it easier for
elephants to lay down and get
up.
Savannah has been receiving
traditional and alternative treat-
ments such as hydrotherapy
and laser therapy as well as
joint supplements and, on occa-
sion, anti-inflammatory med-
ication caused by arthritis. The
hydrotherapy consists of warm
water applied to the affected
area three times daily. The
Zoos Veterinarian gives her
laser therapy every other day
with a therapeutic cold laser ap-
plied to the area around her
elbow. The laser activates cells
locally to decrease inflamma-
tion and pain and improves cel-
lular metabolism. The laser
used for Savannah is made for
animals and is applied to spe-
cific accupoints to help her
elbow joints.
Her zoo keepers have also been
working with her more, adding
training sessions to help her
with stretching, flexibility and
mobility. Savannah continues
to cooperate with daily training,
which includes presenting her
feet and ears to keepers and has
continued with her normal
daily activities.
Shes enjoying the extra atten-
tion and shes motivated to get
better; thats why were work-
ing with her so much, said
Elephant Area Supervisor
Gabriel Moya. She has to
want to take part in the treat-
ment; we dont make her do
anything. After all, shes 8,000
pounds.
Animal care staff will continue
to monitor Savannahs progress
and her treatment. Staff has no-
ticed that shes getting the best
results from stretching, but they
will continue with the therapies
as long as they see progress.
She has been receiving these
therapies for about three weeks.
We do not expect an overnight
response with this type of prob-
lem, its going to take a while
to determine if the hydrother-
apy and laser therapies are
working, said Zoo Associate
Veterinarian Misty Garcia.
For now, Savannah and Juno,
the Zoos other female ele-
phant, will be in separate areas
of their exhibit. They have ac-
cess to see each other and touch
each other through doors, but
will not have full contact to
allow Savannah to heal.
Asian elephants are listed as
Endangered in the IUCN Red
List.

'Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate' Packs a Pugilistic Punch
DEVELOPER: Tecmo Koei

PRICE: $39.99
ESRB RATING: Mature
REVIEW RATING: 4.0 stars

Fighting games
were all the rage at
the turn of the cen-
tury, and "Dead or
Alive" was one of
the more popular ti-
tles. Last year the
series was resurrected with the
release of "DOA5," and now an
in-
cremental update with addi-
tional features is available in
the form of "DOA5 Ultimate."
However, there aren't enough
new features to justify a pur-
chase for anyone who owns
"DOA5."
"DOA5" changed the look of
its pugilists from a classic
Japanese anime style to one
that's more realistic. This up-
date follows suit, and also adds
five new characters to the mix.
Two familiar faces from
past games include
Leon, the
Italian
mercenary
and Ein,
who is a fe-
male karate
specialist. Two
new fighters
from the "Ninja
Gaiden" series, Rachel and
Momiji, join the roster, and
newcomer Jacky Bryant lays
the smack down with Jeet Kune
Do.
Too bad these new characters
aren't included in the story
mode. Oddly enough, anyone
who defeated "DOA5" will no-
tice that the story mode is com-
pleted when they fire up this
updated version. At least the in-
depth tutorial mode from the
PS Vita game, "DOA5+," is in-
cluded. It removes the tutorial
from the story mode so players
can play whichever mode they
choose.
Five fantastic-looking new
stages, two of which are from
"DOA3," make their appear-
ance. Also new is the Power
Launcher maneuver that
launches opponents in the air
so players can juggle them
"Tekken"-style. More subtle
additions include new combo
attacks for some characters and
a more stable net code for
smooth online fighting. Lastly,
all of the download-only cos-
tumes released since "DOA5"
are included.
I highly recommend "Dead or
Alive 5 Ultimate" for those
who don't have "DOA5," but
buying both games seems like a
waste of money.

Contineud from page 26.. defense with a
first-person-shooter, and "Sanctum 2"
builds upon this concept. It's just too
bad that the main focus has switched
from strategy to twitch-based shooting.
Although the plot isn't very interesting, I
appreciate how it's told in stylish comic
book panels. Basically, four different
characters react in their own way to an
alien outbreak. It's incredibly generic,
but it does give players a reason to pro-
tect their energy cores.
For those new to tower defense games,
the goal is to place towers along a route
leading from the location where ene-
mies spawn to whatever it is the player
is tasked with protecting. Most games in
this genre force players to sit back and
let the towers automatically do all the
work, but "Sanctum 1 & 2" let players
dive into the action and help their tow-
ers fight enemies.
While the original game let players set
as many towers as they could to fight
the enemy, the sequel limits the number
of towers. Fortunately, there's a decent
variety of towers that can be upgraded
during each level.
The shooter elements are fairly stan-
dard, but several new features ramp up
the action. For starters, players now
have unlimited sprint as well as an iron
sights view. Other handy features in-
clude the ability to customize a second-
ary weapon and a cool perk system that
lets players unlock special abilities for
themselves and/or their towers. Also
new is an online cooperative mode for
up to four players.
Some gamers will love the new focus on
action in "Sanctum 2," but I feel like the
series has lost much of it's personality.

BRED FOR BACK TROUBLE
Long backs, short legs and slipped disks:
Is your dog at risk?
By Dr. Patti Khuly
Universal Uclick
Im not sure exactly how it
happens, but veterinarians tend
to take on special needs pets.
Of course, Im no exception.
My French bulldogs
chronic spinal problems and
ensuing disability make him a
perfect poster child for veteri-
narian-owned pets everywhere.
It also makes him the ideal sub-
ject of a discussion on interver-
tebral disk disease, arguably
the most common spinal mal-
ady among dogs.
Intervertebral disk
disease, like my dog Vincents,
is referred to as IVDD by
veterinarians, but is better
known to the general public as
slipped disk. Its a condition
caused by the untimely degen-
eration of one or more of the
disk-shaped structures that
serve as cushions between the
bony vertebrae of the spine.
When these disks go bad, the
material contained within them
is extruded, thereby compress-
ing the most sensitive nearby
structure: the spinal cord.
Like my tempera-
mental Vincent (his spine isnt
the only source of his special-
ness), the spinal cord doesnt
take insults lying down. It lets
everyone know when its un-
happy. In most cases, pain is
the bodys most obvious re-
sponse to an affronted spinal
cord. Afflicted dogs may stand
in a hunched position, cry out
when picked up, refuse to jump
or decline to eat, among other
possible symptoms.
But some dogs arent
especially demonstrative when
it comes to letting you know
theyre hurting. In fact, plenty
will never whine, cry or other-
wise display their discomfort
ever. For some, thats because
their disease is mild. For oth-
ers, its because its simply
their nature to conceal any
pain.
In more advanced
cases, however, the evidence of
IVDD may ultimately appear in
how they move. An odd hitch
in her stride, a peculiar drag-
ging of a hind foot, a funny
crossing-over of his hind limbs
theyre all possibilities. In
these patients, what youre ob-
serving is the end result of a se-
rious spinal offense: evidence
of nerve damage.
When the spinal cord
is damaged whether perma-
nently or temporarily the
communication between the
brain and the body is disrupted.
And for most IVDD patients,
the hind limbs are the first to
go. Thats why the unluckiest
patients will forever walk
oddly, if they walk at all.
In Vincents case, it
has taken three surgeries to get
him back on all four paws.
Nonetheless, these separate
IVDD events have claimed
most of his hind limb function.
The next time, his neurosur-
geons tell me, he wont be so
lucky.
Short-legged, long-backed dogs such as dachshunds and Welsh corgis are at higher risk for
spinal degeneration.

Which is why hes already
being trained to use his K-9
cart, aka a doggie wheelchair.
To be sure, its a de-
pressing disease. More so for
dogs who dont have the luxury
of a veterinarian owner and a
bunch of board-certified neuro-
surgeons to lavish them with
their professional services.
But fortunately, few
dogs are as seriously diseased
as Vincent. Trouble is, for every
wheelchair-bound patient, hun-
dreds more suffer painful
IVDD symptoms that arent de-
tected or treated.
It makes sense, then,
that research dollars might be
dedicated to exploring the basis
for this disease. Because its es-
pecially common in dachs-
hunds, among other
short-legged long-backed
breeds (bassets, shih tzus,
Welsh corgis, etc.), a recent vet-
erinary study at The Royal Vet-
erinary College in the United
Kingdom undertook to under-
stand this connection, ulti-
mately establishing a
relationship between long
backs, short legs and IVDD.
Although all dog
owners should be on the look-
out for pain and dysfunction,
those who count stubby-legged,
long-backed dogs among their
family are effectively put on
notice: Spinal troubles may be
headed your way. So at your
next veterinary visit, why not
ask your pets doctor to check
for telltale signs you might be
missing? The earlier the diag-
nosis, the more treatment op-
tions there are, and the better
chance your dog has of living
without the chronic pain IVDD
can cause.

AAHA ruling against
no-anesthesia dentistry
BRED...
So-called anesthesia-free dental cleanings, criticized by vet-
erinary experts as insufficient when it comes to diagnosing and
treating dental disease in pets, will no longer be part of the Amer-
ican Animal Hospital Associations certified veterinary practices.
In making the announcement, the AAHA said that anesthesia
with intubation is necessary to remove plaque and tartar from the
entire tooth, at least 60 percent of which is under the gum line.
The sickening and deaths of a small number of
healthy dogs from what appears to be a virulent new virus has
veterinarians on edge in Ohio and beyond. The Ohio Department
of Agriculture told the Akron Beacon-Journal that its received
calls from pet owners and veterinarians concerned about deaths
in the Akron-Canton area as well as in Cincinnati, and especially
about symptoms severe enough to kill about half of the infected
dogs within 48 hours. A sample from one of the dogs killed was
confirmed as a new and emerging disease by pathologists at the
University of California, Davis, who are investigating whether
the circo virus also killed a California dog last spring.
A pharmacist in Washington state was disciplined by
the state regulatory agency after he modified a dose on a veteri-
nary prescription without consulting the veterinarian. VIN News
(news.vin.com) reported that a state investigator confirmed that
the veterinarians prescription was correct and noted that differ-
ences in metabolism may mean that dosages for dogs (or other
animals) will be different than dosages for people of comparable
size. As more pet owners take veterinary prescriptions to tradi-
tional pharmacies, looking to save money, similar errors by phar-
macists non-versed in veterinary
medicine have become
more common.

Don't Repeat Design
History: Update It
Q: Our "new" house is a Greek
Revival dating to the late l9th
century. We love the period
so elegant and sedate but we
don't want to live in a museum,
if you know what I mean. How
can we decorate to preserve the
right flavor and still be in the
21st century?
A: First thing, relax. Any
Greek Revival worth its
columns has such architectural
integrity that there's little dan-
ger you could lose the period
flavor of the house by making
the wrong decorating decisions.
The trick is to be courageous
enough to update enough. That
is, not add just 21st-century
conveniences but also express
21st-century attitudes. Here's an
inspiring example: The dining
room in the photo we show
here is in one of Kansas City's
most treasured homes, the
Bent-Ward House, dating to the
l870s and listed on the National
Register of Historic Places.
It was the site of last spring's
44th Annual Symphony De-
signers' Showhouse, where de-
signer Tam Stone
(tam-stone.com) set out, she
says, to modernize while "re-
specting the dignity of the old
house." Here's how she did it:
Went symmetrical.
Formal balance is an earmark
of the Greek Revival style, so
Tam arranged Baker's ma-
hogany furniture to create al-
most a mirror image in the
room;
Evoked a surprising,
contemporary palette, deep
plum-brown walls in a high-
gloss finish, contrasted with
silk draperies in va-va-voom
chartreuse. But while the color
is totally today, the crisp, for-
mal pleating of the draperies is
very old-world traditional;
Used overscaled art.
"Very much a current trend,"
Tam points out. But she ex-
pressed the trend in classic
works of art six Hogarth
prints framed in traditional
gold. Hung as a unit between
the windows, they make a sin-
gle, and singularly modern, de-
sign statement;
Juxtaposed high-and-
low, heavy-and-light, serious-
and-light. "Another modern
idea," according to Tam. Cases
in point: the faux longhorns, a
nod to Kansas City's history
and the textured roller shades
(Alustra Woven Textures by
Hunter Douglas, hunterdou-
glas.com) hung under those se-
riously pleated-silk chartreuse
draperies.
"The shades caused a lot of
comment from showhouse visi-
tors," Tam reports. "They were
surprised that I hadn't put some-
thing formal under the formal
draperies. But I wanted the
room to be approachable and
comfortable," she explains. "I
liked the way the light comes
through woven shades."

Q: I happen to love stripes. But do they always
have to be vertical? We have a small entry hall.
How would it look if we installed striped wallpa-
per on the horizontal?
A: Your small hall would look instantly larger.
It's one of the most useful optical illusions avail-
able to interior decorators. Vertical stripes fool
the eye into seeing taller spaces; horizontal
stripes tend to push the walls apart visually so
the space appears larger.
Actually, horizontal stripes can be effective in
large spaces, too. When he decorated the very
large and imposing, double-height entry for the
recent Hampton Designer Showhouse in Water
Mill, N.Y., Lee W. Robinson applied wide hori-
zontal stripes in three warm colors turquoise,
bronze and cream. It sure cozied up and added
charm to what was essentially an over-scaled and
rather formal space.
In the same showhouse, Tammy Connor waxed a
bit wild with striped walls in a bedroom: she ran
blue-on-blue stripes vertically on the side walls,
and then turned them horizontal on the end
walls. Her final touch, visually revving every-
thing up another notch, was the runner rug she
laid on the diagonal between the room's twin
beds.

Q: How big should a rug be under
a dining room table? My aunt has
given us an old family table that's
larger than the one we've had for
years. When you pull out the chairs,
the back feet go off the rug. Is that
OK or do we need a new larger
rug?
A: There are many things in this
world that should never look too
small or too short. Men's trousers,
for one example; pants bottoms
should just break over the shoes.
Long curtains should skirt the floor,
not end partway down the wall. And
rugs under tables should be suffi-
ciently large that the chairs can
push back without falling off the
rug.
Send your too-small rug to duty in a
bedroom and treat yourself to a
new, in-proportion rug to go in that
prime spot under your new old
table.
Rug under a Dining Room Table
New Take on an Old Favorite
Q: We went a little crazy over
the Country Look and ended up
with a house full of calico and
old teddy bears and furniture
with lots of peeling paint. Now
it's 20 years later and we want a
new look something more
contemporary but who can
afford to start all over? What
now?
A: Timing is everything. Half
the country went mad for the
Country Look back in the '80s,
and no wonder: It's nostalgic
and charming, comfortable and
easy to live with.
Also inexpensive, at least in the
early days, and it had a history
ours.
The nation had literally grown
up with those calicoes and that
farmhouse furniture. We could
sense our own past in old quilts
and bent-willow benches. We
could relax around all that im-
perfection: peeling paint, rusted
metals, casually mismatched
patterns.
Then, suddenly, it was all too
much! Even Raymond Waites,
the mega-designer who's cred-
ited with "inventing" the Coun-
try Look, soon struck off in a
new direction...Continues on

Q: I am thinking of hanging a quilt as a
shower curtain in my guest bath. I've used a
country theme in the bedroom next door. I
am just worried because the quilt is kind of
heavy for a shower rod. Any suggestions?
A: Yes, I have two.
1. I'm sure you are using a liner to protect
your quilt. So hang it on the shower rod
and install a sturdy spring-tension rod to
hold the quilt itself.
2. I'm sure you realize you'll be endanger-
ing your quilt in two ways, from the in-
evitable moisture from the shower, and
from the stress of being hung. To help ease
the latter problem, use a lot of clips to hold
the quilt on the spring-tension rod and peri-
odically switch ends to reverse the pres-
sure.

Secret to Small-Space Living: Edit! Edit! Edit!
Q: Do you have any advice
for people who live in tiny
spaces like me? My studio
apartment is just 25 x 30 feet.
That's 750 square feet! How do
I fit my life into 750 square
feet? Can you help? You al-
ways write about people with
humongous homes!
A: Not true! You must have
missed the two features on
small-space decorating tips
from interior designer John
Buscarello, who lives and
works in New York City, inar-
guably the most space-starved
town in the U.S. (The articles
are archived at Creators.com.)
New Yorkers scrimp along in
rooms that make Harry Potter's
under-stair digs look almost
palatial. But not everyone com-
plains. Meet design student An-
drea Brodfuehrer, who has
called a 325-square-foot apart-
ment home for the past eight
years and now shares it with
her husband Pat, who moved in
three years ago.
Andrea also studies at the New
York School of Interior Design
and works at home. Plus, "We
host dinner parties and enter-
tain weekend guests," she
vows.
"The key is discipline and self-
editing. If something comes in,
something must go out. It
makes life less complicated
our things tend not to over-
whelm us," Andrea says.
You're looking at one end of
the living room in the photo we
show here. Look closely and
see how one can almost touch
both walls in the tiny space.
But thanks to their restraint and
proactive de-accessioning pol-
icy (plus the 11-foot ceilings in
the old pre-war building), the
couple's apartment never feels
claustrophobic, Andrea says.
It nicely "supports their daily
lives." Chairs move around eas-
ily; furniture pieces serve mul-
tiple functions: The baker's
cabinet, for example, is "part
console, part desk, part pantry,"
she points out.
Much of the Brodfuehrers' fur-
niture has been salvaged, either
from antique marts or off the
curb ("recycling" is a great
New York sport, even among
the well-off: The late Albert
Hadley, scion of the design in-
dustry, was famous for stopping
cabs and racing back to rescue
a curbside castaway).
There are also many sources
for double-duty furniture and
pieces engineered to make the
most of minimum space. One is
the aptly named Resource Fur-
niture (www.resourcefurni-
ture.com), which offers
cutting-edge Italian contempo-
rary design in "transformable"
furniture units: beds that fold
down over sofas, walls that
slide to reveal storage - things
like that. And, of course, there's
always the Murphy bed, l00-
plus years old but still the big
news in small-space living
(www.murphybed.com).

City apartment. Photo: Mollie Vogt-Welch.
Dcor Score...
... (somewhere half-way between Tra-
ditional American and pure Baroque).
Now comes another designer, long cel-
ebrated for his farmhouse style, who is
rethinking his signature look in a new
book, "Terry John Woods' Farmhouse
Modern," due out Oct. 1 from Stewart,
Tabori and Chang. You'll find comfort
in his words (and inspiration in the
works-of-art photographs by Kindra
Clineff): "Traditional Farmhouse style
... remains close to my heart; but I also
now find myself drawn to the lines of
modern and industrial design pieces,"
Woods writes in the introduction to the
book.
Heresy? Hardly. Woods is going
through the evolution of taste we all
should as we grow up and older. We
discover new ways to look and live.
Our ideas change, and so should our
homes. But that doesn't mean you have
to jettison all your old stuff.
Woods orchestrates an intriguing mix
of Then and Now. But his most mod-
ern statement is about space. It's now
clean and uncluttered. Walls are white;
floors are bare; accessories are spare
(but there's still space for the vintage-
style teddy bears that made Woods' de-
sign fame in the l980s; see
terryjohnwoods.com).
His old treasures are showcased like
sculptures. Here's an elegant case in
point: a collection of old-fashioned
lacy porcelain looks cool and contem-
porary interspersed with other shapes
and shown off, white-on-white, in an
under-stair alcove.
Sitting Pretty on a
Sectional Sofa
Q: We are redoing our Great Room
and thinking of putting a flat-screen
TV over the fireplace. Since we'll
mainly be looking in that one direc-
tion, it seems logical to arrange all the
seats to face the fireplace, but I don't
want the room to look like a movie
theater. What kind of furniture do you
recommend? There are five in our
family and always the kids' friends,
too.
A: Viva the sectional! Seating that
comes with built-in flexibility will be
your best bet. You can just keep
adding sections until you have space
enough for everybody. Allow a few in-
dependent chairs, too, so when more
friends arrive or you prefer conver-
sation to TV everyone can easily
pull into the grouping.
Sectionals lend themselves to cohesive
arrangements, carving out a visual
room-within-a-room, especially when
they're underscored by an area rug.
Note how neatly the cocktail table fits
into the el of the four-piece sectional
in the photo we show here (starring
Bernhardt's Brandeis sectional; bern-
hardt.com). No matter where a person
sits along the length of the piece, it's
an easy reach to put down a drink, a
dish or book on the low table or its
matching end table.
Another plus: Because sectionals are
open-ended this one includes a
chaise longue on one end they at-
tract more sitters than ordinary three-
cushion sofas, in the middle seat of
which nobody likes to sit. People
would rather perch on the arms or
back of an old-fashioned sofa than
land in the center seat. Study the
crowd at the next party you attend and
you'll see what I mean. Sitting be-
tween two people on a regular sofa can
make you feel you're watching a tennis
match ... left, right, left ...

of "Manhattan Style" and six other
books on interior design.

had a genuine relationship with a woman. However, when he
meets Barbara (Scarlett Johansson) he has to change his operating

years; during this time he
has avidly developed a diverse
collection of hundreds of art-
works spanning different media
and cultures. Just some of the
many historic and contempo-
rary area artists represented in
his collection are Manuel
Acosta, Marta Arat, Francisco
Delgado, Luis Jimnez (with
approximately fifty works), and
Mauricio Olague. Sandovals
penchant for collecting began
as a young boy, when he
amassed a rock collection in his
hometown of Monte Vista in
Colorados San Luis Valley.
Since then the curiosity of the
boy developed into the under-
standing and expertise of the
man, yet there remains San-
dovals singular passion for dis-
covering new treasures and
making them an intimate part
of his life and learning.
Juan Sandoval earned his MA
in Library and Information Sci-
ence from Denver University in
1975, and since the early 1980s
he has worked at the Library of
the University of Texas at El
Paso. In addition to serving as
Reference Librarian and Sub-
ject Specialist for Art and Chi-
cano Studies, he works closely
with African-American Studies
and Asian Studies. Notably,
these varied professional activi-
ties are mirrored in Sandovals
energies as an art collector. His
collecting interests encompass
prints, photographs, paintings,
sculptures, and pottery from the
El Paso region, his native San
Luis Valley, Oaxaca and other
parts of Mexico, and places fur-
ther afield such as Russia and
Poland. This eclecticism
notwithstanding, Sandovals
collection possesses core char-
acteristicsmost notably, the
attention to the evocative
human figure, whose distor-
tions, surroundings, or group-
ings with other bodies imply
often uncanny narratives. And,
just as Sandoval the librarian
enjoys assisting and interacting
with students and researchers at
all levels, many of the works in
his collection are by artists he
knows or knew personally. In-
deed, his collecting endeavors
extend to autographs by Mexi-
can and Mexican-American
writers and artists, of which he
now possesses about one hun-
dred fifty. Free to the public
and on view for several months
in the EPMAs Gateway
Gallery, An Expansive Regard:

lection of Juan Sandoval high-

Juan Sandoval.

Dj Spotlight | Jordy Dazz
With a Dope & Dirty state
of mind, Jordy Dazz has
the power to create
music that best could be
described as a mixture
between heavy weight DJ
Fedde le Grand and
bertalent Hardwell. Top-
ping it all off with his inno-
vative and refreshing
sound and you get a
fresh blend of a BIG
room tech-house mon-
ster DJ/producer, who is
simply un-stop-able.
2011 turned out to be a
year where the festival
and club visitors couldn't
miss out on this "dazz" dj.
Making his debut and
joining no one less then
Tisto at the almighty Privi-
lege on Ibiza in the 2011
summer season was one
of the many highlights in
2011. Major festivals such
as Dance Valley, House-
Quake Festival and
Lakedance were the
places where you could
find Jordy spreading his
best house beats over the
crowd like a summer
storm. In the Dope &
Dirty 2011 summer
schedule of the proud
Dutch man, gigs from
Miami to Brighton, from
Russia to South Korea and
from Estonia to Ibiza filled
his agenda.
In 2012 the trend will defi-
nitely run ahead having
his schedule filled with big
festivals and club events
in The Netherlands. But
also appearances for ex-
ample in the Dutch An-
tilles and Ministry of Sound
in London are just a few
to start off a year where
borders will fade and
Jordy's world of Dazz will
expand.
The release of his ber-
track Lump early 2011
on Hardwells Revealed
Recordings, gave Jordy a
big push on an interna-
tional level. Jordy contin-
ued this strong line
upwards with productions
on top-notch labels such
as Funkagendas Funk
Farm Records, Spinnin,
Flamingo Recordings,
and Black Hole Record-
ings. On remix duties,
Jordy laid his hands on
tracks of colleagues
Fedde Le Grand, Chris
Lake, ThreeSixty, Marcel
Woods, Stretch & Vern,
Moguai and Olav Basoski.
The never-ending support
on his tracks and remixes
came from legends such
as Tisto, Fedde le Grand,
Deadmau5, Swedish
House Mafia, Avicii, David
Guetta, Markus Schulz,
Hardwell, Axwell and
Armin van Buuren. With a
wide range of pure bliss
finished in the Dope &
Dirty studio, we can only
advise to keep your eyes
peeled and your ears
opened.
Talking about Dope &
Dirty: Dutch national FM
station Slam FM is proud
to host Jordys radioshow
Dope & Dirty every first
Friday of the month. A
show which perfectly re-
flects his taste and view
on Big Room music. His
Dope & Dirty podcast is
also available through
iTunes.
Jordy Dazz formerly per-
formed and produced as
Jordy Lishious (until 2011).
While being asked more
and more on clubs and
festivals abroad, a more
smashing, short and
catchy name fits with the
new era Jordy is entering.
So watch your back
while Jordy is here to
spread the sound of
DAZZ.

ITS GOOD FOR YOUR GAME
By T.J. TOMASI
GOLF SPOKEN HERE
GOLF INSIDER
TEEING OFF
No hands takeaway keeps putter in line
Most golfers dont have the feel of a correct no
hands takeaway, where the putter head moves
away from the ball in a straight line and, for the
short putts, never leaves the line of roll. This is
because most golfers stand bent over the head of
the putter, so their hands are inside their eye
line, making it difficult to judge where straight
back is. Most whip the putter too much inside
from this position.
For longer putts, requiring a longer backswing,
the putter head will swing slightly to the inside
because of the length of the arc. But if you want
to putt well, the clubhead should stay on the line
for the first 18 inches or so.
A good putter takes the clubhead away from the
ball with the arms, using no independent hand
action, but feeling a slight curling under of the
lead hand, as if the knuckles are turning to the
ground. This allows the putter head to stay on
the line while the shoulders rock gently to get
and keep the club moving. If youve been taking
the clubhead to the inside, the correct move will
feel like its outside.
Heres a helpful drill: Lay a string down be-
hind the ball on the line of the putt. Start with a
3-footer and actually slide the putter head back
and forth along the string as you putt.
A putter head that swings inside the target line on
a short putt like this requires the head to find the
line again, a needless compensation.
Im helping this player capture the feeling of
drawing the putter straight back, with a little down-
and-under curl of his left knuckles.
Laid back
At address, the clubface is considered laid back
when it is tilted more to the sky than normal. The
laid-back clubface increases the trajectory of the
shot and can be used with various combinations of
ball and shoulder positions to hit, for example, an
ultra-high shot, higher than the clubface loft would
normally produce.
As the shaft angle is tilted away from the target, the
loft of the shot changes. The best way to do this for a
high shot is to move the ball forward in your stance.
Swing starts with unified movement
The simplest (and best) backswings unfold with-
out having to introduce compensations or excess
movements, and that is exactly what the nat-
ural backswing accomplishes. By natural I
mean you do nothing with the hands or arms;
they move as a response to your torso rotation.
The key is to start your swing by moving noth-
ing separately. The arms, hands, shoulders and
chest move together. Separate movement de-
mands a sequence, a sequence demands timing,
and timing is a shaky edifice to build the start of
a swing on. Thus, the watchword is small
movement, small error.
A lousy swing start causes problems on the
downswing because you must make crucial com-
pensations, and thats a recipe for disaster.
Heres a start small drill that will teach you to
move your upper body in unison: Place a board
behind the ball with your clubhead soled in be-
tween, then push the board straight back to start
your swing, as Im doing in the photo above.
Feel the weight of the board; it will tell you to
use your entire upper body, not just your hands.
Be choosy when
choosing sunglasses
THE GOLF DOCTOR
To protect your eyes on sunny days, always
wear sunglasses, but not just any old kind. In
fact, you can ruin your eyes by wearing cheap
sunglasses that simply lower light levels with-
out screening out the suns bad rays.
With the cheapos, your eyes dilate to let in more
light, which allows more dangerous UVA/UVB
rays to damage the DNA in your seeing cells.
And DNA damage is a more serious problem
than just losing acuity due to aging.
Sunlight strikes the retina on the back of your
eye, which is composed of neurons that transmit
the information to your brain. These eye cells
can actually be bleached out by the suns rays,
garbling the transmission lines to the visual cen-
ters.
The damage is both
cumulative and pro-
gressive, and it may
not show for 15 or 20
years. The longer you
spend absorbing the
suns rays unabated, the
higher the probability your DNA will be
damaged. If you have junior players, get them
in the habit of wearing good sunglasses.
Not everyone experiences damage from the sun.
One reason is that humans have a natural pro-
tective process that recognizes defective DNA
and initiates repair. Michael Feig, a professor at
Michigan State University, says:
Normal DNA is like a stiff piece of rubber, rel-
atively straight. It becomes possible to bend the
DNA in places where there are defects. So
when the suns rays damage the DNA and it
bends, the bodys repair machinery is prompted
to spring into action to preserve your sight.
But sometimes the process fails, and thats
when problems start. So dont take a chance:
Wear high-quality,
wrap-around sun-
glasses that filter out
UVA/UVB rays, and visit
the eye doctor annually for a
checkup.

Hang 10 on the fairway
Every once in a while an idea comes
along that seems like a surefire winner, an
idea that makes you say, Why didnt I
think of that? But then you think about it
for a while and it becomes clear why you
didnt think of that.
I submit the GolfBoard as such an idea.
The developers describe their product as
an easy-to-ride electric board that allows
golfers to surf the golf course in a way
that feels similar to snowboarding or surf-
ing.
Ill be up-front and admit Ive never tried
it, but there arent too many of us who
can master both sports golf and surf-
ing. The thing is that when you make a
mistake in golf, it costs you a stroke;
make a mistake in a board sport, and it
can cost you a week in the hospital.
Still, it would be cool to surf down the
fairway to your perfect drive, dismount
and stiff your approach shot, then boogie
out of control into the greenside bunker.
Who said golf is boring? To paraphrase
one commenter: A few beers, carrying
your golf bag and balancing on a moving
board going up and down hills. What
could possibly go wrong?
Maybe the inventors have a point when
they argue that with stars like Rickie
Fowler and Rory McIlroy, the game has
changed its demographic.
Find out more about the GolfBoard on
Kickstarter.com.

Jimmie Johnson wins AAA 400; becomes all-time Sprint
Cup win leader at Dover
Critics of NASCARs Chase for the
Sprint Cup have complained for years
that the 10-race, season-ending run to
the championship leads to a lack of at-
tention paid to the drivers who are not
in the running for the title.
But this year, like many oth-
ers, when it comes to the final 10 races,
the main reason the also-rans get shuf-
fled out of the spotlight is because the
cream of NASCARs crop that
group of drivers who have made the
Chase rises to the top.
On Sunday at Dover Interna-
tional Speedway, the top 10 in the fin-
ishing order were all Chase contenders.
At New Hampshire the week before,
fifth-finishing Jamie McMurray be-
came the only non-Chase driver in the
first three races to score a top-five fin-
ish.
And in the Chase opener at
Chicagoland, the only non-Chase driv-
ers in the top 10 were Brad Keselowski
in seventh and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in
eighth.
And theres the fact that non-
Chase drivers rarely make it to Victory
Lane in the final 10 races.
In the 93 Chase races run
since the format was adopted in 2004,
only 15 have been won by drivers not
in the Chase that year. Greg Biffle and
Tony Stewart, who usually are in the
Chase, have had the most success of
non-Chase drivers, winning three races
each in years they were not among the
elite running for the title.
Most weeks, the stepped-up
performance of the championship con-
tenders commands the most attention.
At Dover International
Speedway on Sunday, points leader
Matt Kenseth finished seventh and had
what would have been a good points
day if not for the fact that the drivers
ahead of him were all in the Chase.
Jimmie Johnson won at
Dover, leading the most laps and scor-
ing maximum points in his eighth tri-
umph there, which gave him the tracks
all-time win leader record, which he
had shared with Hall of Famers
Richard Petty and Bobby Allison.
And the five-time series
champion extended his Chase-race win
total to 23, more than double that of the
next closest driver, Tony Stewart, who
has 11 Chase-race wins, but is out of
the running for the title this year be-
cause of a broken leg suffered in a
sprint car race.
Johnsons crew chief, Chad
Knaus, said it really is a matter of the
cream rising to the top when Johnson
drives to the head of the pack in Chase
races like the one on Sunday at Dover.
The mans got a lot of
skills, Knaus said in the winners in-
terview on Sunday. I think hes able to
pull out some things that are pretty
spectacular. Hes able to dig deeper,
pull out his cape, make things happen
in winning moments of these races that
other people cannot do. Its pretty spec-
tacular.
At Dover, Johnson held off
his teammate and pole-sitter Dale Earn-
hardt Jr. over the final 29 laps even
though Earnhardt had four fresh tires to
Johnsons two.
Ive seen a lot of great driv-
ers; worked with a lot of great drivers,
Knaus said. Knowing what weve got
sitting behind the seat is always a little
bit of confidence, knowing if you get
close, if you make the right call at the
right time, hes going to be able to
carry the ball.
Once again, I think Jimmie
is probably the most underrated cham-
pion we have in this industry. He is by
far and above the most powerful driver
over the course of the last 25, 35 years
in this sport.
Johnson said that when hes
on the track, racing with drivers like
Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch, with the
championship in mind, he goes all out.
I was thinking about it when
I was in the car, he said. My whole
thought process was just how tough
this championships going to be.
Theyre bringing their best and doing
their best.
Youve got to deliver.
Jimmie Johnson became the all-time win
leader at Dover with his eighth victory in
Sundays AAA 400.
Johnson gives the fans a burnout after his record-breaking Dover victory.

Hamlin honored
by March of
Dimes
Denny Hamlin has had a rough
year on the Sprint Cup circuit,
but he had lots to celebrate after
being honored as a March of
Dimes Champion For Babies
during a dinner last week in
Washington, D.C.
Hamlin and his spon-
sor FedEx have collaborated to
run a special March of Dimes
paint scheme on his No. 11 car
during each of the past six sea-
sons, and theyve worked to-
gether to bring the March of
Dimes message to NASCAR
and its fan base.
Its an honor to ac-
cept this award tonight, and to
play a small role in raising the
visibility of the great work done
by the March of Dimes, Hamlin
said in his acceptance speech.
Their mission hits closer to
home, as I became a first-time
father earlier this year, and Im
grateful that with the help of
FedEx, our team has been able
to meet and host many families
that have been positively im-
pacted by this great organiza-
tion.
Previous recipients of
the award include golfs Arnold
Palmer, footballs Joe Namath
and broadcastings Greg Gum-
bel.
March of Dimes presi-
dent Dr. Jennifer L. Howse said
Hamlin is a worthy recipient of
the honor.
Dennys heartfelt and
genuine desire to help families
less fortunate than him always
shines through, she said. He
gives us more than his time. He
gives us his heart. Denny is a
true champion for babies.

NOTEBOOK
The Dodge Charger SRT8 a beast
through and through
Every time I see a Dodge Charger SRT8, I
cant help but smile and give thanks for its
existence. Because in todays car market,
big rear-wheel-drive sedans with huge V8
engines just dont seem to fit in. But year
after year, Dodge keeps this hot-rod alive,
and for all the car enthusiasts out there, we
should be thankful.
As you might recall, the Dodge Charger
returned to the scene back in 2006 as a big
four door sedan. The idea was to bring
back the sporty Charger, but make it where
its owners can justify buying it as a family
car. And when equipped with the Hemi 5.7
liter V8, the Charger could satisfy those
looking for the power that the Charger was
originally famous for. The recipe worked
the Charger sold well in its first few years
and even law enforcement agencies got in
the act by adding Chargers to their fleet.
And when Dodges performance division,
SRT, got a hold of the Charger, they added
an extra dose of horsepower - turning a se-
date sedan into quite possibly the ultimate
hot-rod family car.
The first generation SRT8s used a 6.1 liter
Hemi V8 that made 425 hp and 420 ft-lbs
of torque. But when Dodge restyled the
Charger for 2011, SRT enlarged the engine
to 6.4 liters. Power results are impressive
as the Charger SRT8 now delivers 470
thundering horses and 470 ft-lbs of torque.
But SRT does more than just add horse-
power. 20-inch steamroller size wheels are
used on unique forged aluminum rims, and
the suspension has been enhanced by way
of larger stabilizer bars. Sitting a little
lower than a normal Charger R/T, the
SRT8 has a more aggressive stance.
Brakes are beefed up using oversized
Brembos, spotted by their bright red
calipers. Finishing off the look is a pair of
big 3.5 chrome exhaust tips.
Inside, cues that set the SRT-8 apart from a
regular Charger are the silver-faced gauges
and the super-supportive seats, which have
perforated suede inserts and special stitch-
ing.
Firing up the Chargers monster engine is
a muscle-car lovers dream. The exhaust is
everything you expect it to be: mean,
throaty, and loud but not obnoxious.
Driving the Charger, regardless of the
model, does take some getting used to. The
cool chop-top look comes at a price, and
that is visibility. But once over that, the
Charger SRT8 is a down right blast to
drive, especially fast.
And it is fast! Nail the gas and the Charger
can hit 60 mph in about 4.5 seconds and
slam through the quarter mile in about 13
seconds. What to know for sure? ..
5-Hour Energy returns as
sponsor of Bowyers
No. 15 Toyota at MWR
After weeks of bad news, including the booting of
driver Martin Truex Jr. from the Chase for the Sprint Cup and the
loss of sponsor NAPA, Michael Waltrip Racing finally got some
good news.
5-Hour Energy, the primary sponsor of Clint Bowyers
No. 15 Toyota at MWR, announced last week that it would re-
turn in 2014.
There were some doubts about the companys inten-
tions in the wake of the penalties imposed by NASCAR on
MWR for manipulating the results of the regular-season finale at
Richmond in an attempt to get Truex in the Chase.
But 5-Hour Energy said in a statement on its Facebook
page that it was sticking with MWR and Bowyer.
While our original plan was to announce the status of
our sponsorship at the end of the year, this timeframe left many
concerned about their future. There are scores of passionate fans,
numerous charitable organizations, and hundreds of hard-work-
ing MWR employees and their families who are directly im-
pacted by 5-Hour Energys NASCAR sponsorship. After several
internal discussions and meetings with MWR, we are prepared to
announce our decision ahead of schedule. 5-Hour Energy will be
back as a sponsor of MWR and Clint Bowyer for 2014.
New Goodyear tire to make its
second appearance in the
Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas
Speedway
This weekends Hollywood
Casino 400 at Kansas Speed-
way will mark the second ap-
pearance this season of
Goodyears new multiple-
compound racing tire.
The tires were used
on Labor Day weekend at At-
lanta Motor Speedway and
drew praise from drivers and
crew members.
Goodyear, the exclu-
sive supplier of tires for
NASCARs top three series, is
using technology that has been
applied to passenger-car tires
for years, and it combines one
compound that offers traction
and another for endurance.
While the tire com-
position is similar, the tracks
are much different. Atlantas
asphalt is old, worn and abra-
sive, while the pavement at
Kansas is nearly new and is
much smoother. At Kansas, the
challenge for Goodyear is to
find a tire soft enough to wear,
but hard enough to withstand
the high speeds and heat gen-
erated by new pavement.
Tire wear usually
leads to side-by-side racing,
which is a challenge on tracks
with new, smooth asphalt.
As with the tires of-
fered at Atlanta, the left-side
tires at Kansas will be the
same used in earlier races,
with the multiple compound
on the right-side tires.
Development of the
Kansas tire was done at a tire
test back in July with drivers
Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Kyle
Busch and Ryan Newman
doing the testing.
Nationwide Series
cars at Kansas will use the
same tire compounds run at
the track in April.
Laps led by Jimmie Johnson in the past
11 races at Kansas Speedway, the most
of all drivers.
Laps led by Joey Logano at Kansas Speed-
way, the fewest of any driver in the Chase for
the Sprint Cup.
Points separating Nationwide Series points
leader Sam Hornish Jr. and second-place
Austin Dillon.

The on-board computer will
time your runs for you, even
saving your best times. Talk
about trying to beat your high
score!
Despite the Chargers large
size, it handles very well, stick-
ing to the pavement like glue.
Toss the SRT8 into a corner
and mashing the right-most
pedal as you exit is tremendous
fun and dangerously addict-
ing.
The rest of the car is a straight
Charger, which means its
fairly practical. Using the basic
hardware from the 1995-2002
Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan,
the rear-wheel drive Charger
has plenty of room for five pas-
sengers thanks to an impressive
backseat.
Using the Charger SRT8 as a
daily driver sure does make
commuting fun. And if you do
any sort of car-pooling, you
and your Charger will soon be
the favorite ride. You might be
happy to know that this new,
more powerful SRT8 is actu-
ally more fuel efficient than the
last model. With an EPA rating
of 14 mpg / city and 23 mpg /
highway, it tops the previous
models 13/19 rating. Still, the
Charger SRT8 is slapped with a
$1000 gas guzzler tax.
Of all the high-performance V8
sedans on the market today,
there is no doubt that the
Charger SRT8 is the bad-boy
of the bunch. Its loud, fast,
and looks tough. And we
wouldnt want it any other
way.

New restart rule benefits Peters in Smiths
350
The numbers all lined up for Timothy Peters in Saturdays Camping World Truck Series
race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The driver of the No. 17 Toyota beat NASCARs king of
restarts, Ron Hornaday Jr., on the races final restart to win the circuits 17th race of the season.
It was the first win on a 1.5-mile track for both Peters and his Red Horse Racing team. Pe-
ters previous six victories came at either Daytona, a 2.5-mile track, or shorter venues like Nashville,
Bristol, Indianapolis Raceway Park and Iowa Speedway, where hes won twice.
His win was made possible in part by NASCARs new restart rules that allow the second-
place driver to take the lead before the start/finish line as long as the leader takes off first.
Thank goodness for the new rule change, Peters said. It played into our favor tonight.
We got a good bite, and it isnt too many times that you catch the restart king sleeping, and we
caught him sleeping.
Points leader Matt Crafton finished 11th, his first time outside the top 10 this season, but
he still holds a 41-point edge over second-place James Buescher.

Points standings and race
results following the AAA
400 at Dover International
Speedway:
1. Matt Kenseth
(finished seventh) 2,149 points;
leader
After winning the first two
races of the Chase, he had a so-
so day at Dover. Overall, for
how bad I felt like we struggled
with the car, that was a decent
finish.
2. Jimmie Johnson
(finished first) 2,141 points; be-
hind 8
He came to his best track third
in the standings and got maxi-
mum points by leading the
most laps and winning, which
moved him up one spot in the
standings and gave him opti-
mism for the remainder of the
Chase. I know that [Kenseth]
is going to be awfully strong
for the rest of the stretch, and I
look forward to racing with
him.
3. Kyle Busch
(finished fifth) 2,137 points; be-
hind 12
He salvaged his third straight
top-5 finish by overcoming
handling issues that made his
car extremely loose at times.
We were about a fifth- to sev-
enth-place car much of the day,
and we ended up fifth.
4. Kevin Harvick
(finished sixth) 2,110 points;
behind -39
His Chevy was fast, but not fast
enough to suit him. We didnt
have a great car, but we still
have some work to do to get
the performance a little bit bet-
ter, he said, adding this his
crew needed some improve-
ment too. We have got to fix
pit road.
5. Jeff Gordon
(finished fourth) 2,110 points;
behind 39
Once again, he had a fast car at
times and wound up with a
strong finish. Im very excited
and motivated by how well this
team has stepped up ever since
the Chase has come around. I
cant wait to get to the next
race.
6. Greg biffle
(finished ninth) 2,108 points;
behind 41
The 400 was a learning experi-
ence for the No. 16 crew.
Were learning stuff as we go,
so well just keep trying to get
better every week. I think we
learned something as to why
weve run so bad [at Dover] the
last two or three years.
7. Ryan Newman
(finished eighth) 2,101 points;
behind 48
After qualifying third, he
slipped back as the race went
on. Our day started out really
well; the car was great for the
first 100 laps or so. It got tight
after that and we never could
make the right adjustment to
get it handling like I needed it
to.
8. Clint Bowyer
(finished 10th) 2,098 points;
behind 51
He was poised to stretch his
final tank of fuel to the finish
and possibly win the race, but a
late caution for debris took
away that chance. Unfortu-
nately, that caution there at the
end ruined our plan, but we
were good enough and smart
enough to get a win.
9. Kurt Busch
(finished 21st) 2,094 points;
behind 55
A change in pit crews, replac-
ing his crew with that of the
No. 2 Nationwide Series team,
didnt solve his problems on pit
road. Once again, we had an
issue with a loose wheel and
that put us a couple of laps
down, and with the lack of cau-
tions, we couldnt make it up.
10. Dale Earnhardt
Jr.
(finished second) 2,092 points;
behind 57
His best run in months was
hampered by a mistake entering
the pits under the green flag.
That track position is really
important, and I gave that up
early in the race with that mis-
take coming on to pit road. It
cost us a shot at the win there.
11. Carl Edwards
behind 65
A broken part under the rear of
his No. 99 Ford sent him to the
garage for repairs and left him
with the worst finish of the
Chase drivers. We just werent
fast. We needed to hang on for
a solid finish and something
broke, so thats tough.
12. Joey Logano
(finished third) 2,083 points;
behind 66
Hes trying to bounce back
from a blown engine in the
Chase opener. If we had that
Chicago race back, wed be in
the mix for this championship.
Unfortunately, those things
happen, but were slowly but
surely making up from that
right now.
13. Kasey Kahne
behind 78
Undetermined mechanical
problems left him limping
home at the end. Something
was wrong and we lost a lot of
power. Didnt seem like the en-
gine, maybe it was something
else, like tail pipes or some-
thing.
