The Lions Clubs International President, Wing-kum Tam has made this years goal the planting of one million trees throughout the world. As a global organization we believe that this is a very attainable goal over the next year. The Ysleta Lions Club decided that as part of this global objective we wanted to make sure that our contribution would also contribute to the beautification of our city. As we considered where we could plant the trees and make a significant impact for our city, it was decided that what better place to adorn then one of the jewels found in the city of el paso. Concordia Cemetary has been here since the city began. The history rampant as a result of the famous and infamous figures buried here is truly an invaluable piece of history needing to be preserved. Therefore Ysleta Lions Club, in conjunction with the Five Points Lions Club and Martin Funeral Homes decided to plant 250 desert willow trees along the south corner of the cemetary once grown, these trees will be a site to behold, especially for people driving by on i-10. A special Thanks to Patricial Kidnney president of the concordia cemetary association for their assistance and guidance in this project and to Charlie Black, Community Projects Director for Ysleta Lions Club.
Don Benito Juarez and Abraham Lincoln: A Powerful, Ethical Tandem

Websters Dictionary defines ethics as: pertaining to or dealing with morals or the principles of morality; pertaining to right and wrong in conduct; to be moral, upright, honest, righteous and virtuous it seems, however, that too many political and business leaders in El Paso and throughout the United States are ignoring the ethical standards set by some of our greatest world leaders. It is evident that from former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who tried to sell Barack Obamas senatorial seat after Obama was elected President, to Carlos Coach Cordova, exEPISD trustee who traded votes for money, the proof is that some leaders just dont understand what it means to be ethical. Corruption in all walks of life has wide-ranging tentacles that reach far and poison even the most virtuous. Yet, corruption is something that does not necessarily afflict every single person. Two men who exhibited high standards and who have stood above others in exemplifying their true and honest virtues are Abraham Lincoln and Don Benito Juarez. Would that the dozens of men and women who have been accused of corruption across this land of ours had followed their example. Abraham Lincoln and Benito Juarez followed their true hearts to capture their individual nations attention and admiration for their high standards of living and governing. Lincoln, known as Honest Abe, said about the way others perceived him, being ethical means being honest(Honest Abe) was a good name, and I believe that a good name is more to be desired than great riches. William Lee Miller in his book about Lincoln, An Ethical Biography, said that Lincoln was a great man who was also a good man. He never left behind or rose above the role of politician, but rather fulfilled the highest possibilities of his honorable democratic vocation. Lincolns was a moral self-education he was notable for learning from his own mistakes. He had penetrating insight, wisdom about human nature, tenacious purpose, a wonderful sense of humor, and an eloquent style of expression. did not speak Spanish until his later years. Known as a liberal reformer, he took on the powerful Catholic Church, an institution that wielded tremendous power in Mexico. A contemporary of Lincoln, both leaders were friends who have been honored in each others nation. So intertwined are the two great men in each others history that statues grace and honor each others countries. For instance, a statue of Benito Juarez graces Washington, D.C. Its probable that very few Washingtonians know about it, even though it stands across the street from the Watergate Mall that most infamous of D.C. landmarks. Don Benito stands in supposed indignation, with finger pointing directly at what was once the office of the National Democratic Party, as if accusing then-President Richard M. Nixon of misdeeds to come and to be discovered. Don Abraham Lincolns statue, on the other side of the spectrum, is located in two great Mexican cities, namely Mexico City and Cd. Juarez. Not only that, but a major thoroughfare in Juarez is named after him as in, Avenida Lincoln. The truth is that Juarenses and other Mexicans know more about Lincoln than Americans know of Benito Juarez, even though both great men shared similarities. Believe it or not, but Benito Juarez started out life as a shepherd. And who hasnt
By Joe Olvera , 2012 The gist and the whole idea is that it is possible to be ethical and honest, yet, achieve greatness. A good name, as Lincoln said, is more to be desired than great riches. One wonders why someone would risk losing a reputation, losing a good name for a few paltry dollars. Is the money that important? Is the power that important? Those who have been caught, as it were, with their hand in the cookie jar must now realize their huge mistake. Albeit, that realization, for some, has come much too late. Yet, there is hope that others must learn from those mistakes. Only time will tell.

They both were great orators, making profound remarks and speeches words that have had everlasting effects on their societies. Benito

Lincoln said: If youre ethical, youll strive to have good judgment. The true rule in determining to accept or reject anything is not whether it has any evil in it, but whether it has more of evil than of good. There are few things wholly evil or wholly good. I made it a practice to be so clear that no honest man could misunderstand me and no dishonest one could misrepresent me.
Lincoln practiced an ethic of responsibility, as did Mexican President Benito Juarez. Like Lincoln, Juarez was born of modest means. He was a strong leader when his nation needed one. He took a stand on an issue which drove his nation to war, at the once, he was a trailblazer in Native Indian rights and justice.

Rewarding Business Scofflaws

he state comptroller issued a public notice that a business tax amnesty will be in place from June 12 through August 17, 2012. The amnesty is actually for penalties and interest that are levied for delinquent taxes. It sure sounds exciting that the state can expect to collect tens of millions of dollars that businesses did not pay as required by state law. I just wonder why it even exists. Sure, there is a solid incentive to pay the delinquent taxes. But why are the taxes delinquent? When you go to a business and pay them money, do you hold back on paying the taxes? No, that does not happen if you want the product. You are given a receipt that shows the items you bought, the cost for each and then, in a separate entry, the tax that you had to pay. There is no mystery about how much the tax was. In the last such event, which is called Fresh Start, the comptroller boasted that an incredible $100 million dollars in delinquent taxes. Sales taxes that were collected totaled $47 million. The question is why are these sales taxes not being paid and why are scofflaws being rewarded by avoiding penalties? As I wrote before, if a sales tax is owed, it is because a law abiding Texan paid it for services or products. There is no figuring a percentage of a payment at the end of the year, the tax is figured at the moment of sale. There should be no amnesty for any business that fails to pay the sales taxes to the state. The comptroller should maintain the record of a business that is delinquent. There should be elevating penalties for those who are repeat offenders. The $47 million the comptroller collected in 2007 stayed in the accounts of those businesses earning interest. Those businesses benefitted by not paying the taxes timely; and then the comptroller compounded that by not assessing penalties. I wish the state government was that easy on all of us. Have you ever been ticketed for an expired license or inspection sticker a year later and had your fines waived? Of course not. The comptroller's office uses revenues from interest and penalty to finance a portion of its budget. By granting the amnesty, the comptroller is essentially adding to the budget shortfalls. Even if it is a very small amount, the amnesty causes money to be diverted from other programs in order to cover the shortfall. That is irresponsible action by the elected official in charge of our revenue collection. The 2007 amnesty also collected $46 million in franchise taxes that were delinquent. I can't blame businesses on that one. The conservative leadership created such a confusing method of figuring a business's tax liability when the law was passed creating it. You may recall the franchise tax was created to fill in the shortfall when school property tax rates were reduced by 1/3. That tax has never generated the projected revenues for our schools. The deficit has lingered around a $2 billion level. That reason should be enough to be stricter on penalizing delinquent businesses instead of granting amnesties.

How to Predict Wind Speeds

Our windy season is here. The rest of March and April means wind along with blowing dust and sand in El Paso and southern New Mexico. This is the time of year that most people in El Paso do not look forward to. The weather can certainly be warm, but when the winds crank up and the sand blows, its time to head inside. Many viewers of ABC-7 like us to report the wind gusts and really enjoy our Exclusive Dustcast. This is a tool that we use to show at what time the wind will peak and what the peak gust will be on a particular day. We can show this by making use of our expensive weather technology. Exact measurement of the wind speed is not easy to do unless you purchase professional weather equipment which can cost thousands of dollars. I often wondered how folks kept track of the wind and took measurements of it hundreds of years ago. You may recall that back then, large sailing ships of the Royal Navy sailed the ocean blue. Those sailors had no special equipment except from what they could see with their own eyes. In 1805 Commander, later Admiral, Sir Francis Beaufort published a method of measuring the wind at sea based on what sails a frigate could safely hoist. The Beaufort Scale, as it came to be known, was adopted by the Royal Navy in 1838 when it became mandatory for all ships' log entries. The Beaufort Scale had 13 criteria. This criteria begins at zero, where the wind was calm, to a force of 12, where the wind would be at least 75 miles per hour. With this scale also came descriptions of the state of the sea. This description allowed sailors to prepare their ships and course to how the sea would react. It was quite a lot later in the century that the Beaufort Scale was adapted for use on the land. In many respects it, and the descriptions that go with it, are still used today. Heres the scale below. This will give all of you bikers a basic idea of just how strong the winds are by observing nature.

Easter, Mothers Day and Memorial Day Weekends in the Parks

Help keep Parks Clean!!!
El Paso, Texas - The City of El Paso Parks and Recreation Department is once again asking for the publics assistance over the Easter, Mothers Day and Memorial Day weekends with their support of cleaning up after family festivities in the Parks. Over the Easter (April 7th 8th), Mothers Day (May 12th 13th ), and Memorial Day (May 27th 28th) weekends thousands of people will descend on the citys parks and the support of park goers is needed for a safe and funfilled weekend for all. Charcoal and other items should be taken home by park goers and or thrown in the proper receptacle and not on the ground, next to the trash bins or trees as the charcoal can damage the grass and kill the trees. Individuals should bring their own trash bags as well to assist with the clean up in the parks.

Chicano Literature: An American Reality

Chicano Literature has a long and quite honorable history, despite efforts by Arizona politicians and educators who know nothing about its beginnings and, therefore, dont want young Hispanic students to peruse of the many books available that speak to their reality, to their truth and to their history. Arizona Anglo politicos and educators are truly afraid of what these truths may reveal. Sadly, they are not the only ones. American history books do not reflect or speak to the realities which we Chicanos have undergone as residents of these conquered lands. From the very beginning, we have been made to feel that we are strangers in a land that once belonged to Mexico. A land that was wrested forcefully through an illegal war that saw Mexico lose more than one million square miles of territory. Although we have tried to adapt from the very outset, we have not been successful simply because the politics of the time have not allowed it. Of a sudden, we were told that we were American citizens, with the same rights and privileges which other Americans enjoyed. Yet, we were lied to. Our schools, instead of respecting our native tongue of Spanish, force-fed us English and if we werent immediately successful in learning the new language we were ridiculed and labeled with unjust and unsavory epithets. All of a sudden, the father of our country was George Washington and our heroes Abraham Lincoln and Patrick Henry. Admirable and powerful men to be respected, to be sure, but where were our heroes? Apparently, they had disappeared or, worse, they had never existed. The powerful Chicano writer, Ricardo Sanchez, when asked by a teacher what he wanted to be when he grew up, responded that he wanted to be a writer. Ricardo said that the teacher told him that he couldnt be a writer because what could a Mexican say that hadnt already been written. Despite her putdown, however, Ricardo went on to publish the powerful, Canto y Grito Mi Liberacion, Hechizo/Spells, Brown Alaskan Bear and other nationally and internationally known books of poetry and prose. During that early period of Chicano Lit, another famous writer, Rudy Anaya gave us his classic, Bless Me Ultima, a book that continues to mystify and entertain readers with its magic realism. In those days many of us writers, who are now being published couldnt hang our name on a book to save our lives. Book publishers just werent interested in what we had to say, hence the creation of Quinto Sol Publications in Berkeley, California. Through the efforts of Dr. Octavio Romano, Herminio Rios and others, such works as Y No Se Lo Trago La Tierra by the late scholar Dr. Tomas Rivera, and other Chicano classics saw the light of day. On another front, Cecilio Garcia Camarillo created the monthly magazine, Caracol in San Antonio, TX. Cecilio was a great editor who made it possible for many of us fledgling writers to begin to see our bylines where there were none before. 0f course there were others. Dr. Felipe Ortego y Gasca brought some of us into the limelight through his anthologies and collections of Chicano Literature. In El Paso, Ricardo Sanchez created Mictla Publications, while NOSOTROS News Magazine kept us abreast of happenings in Chicano communities. The two El Paso dailies, the Post and the Times mostly ignored us, unless the news was negative. What the state of Arizona is doing is unprecedented. Oh, there have been efforts to naysay Chicano Literature. Bless Me Ultima has been banned before, but never has the banning of books been so wholesale, so all-encompassing. Educators and politicians in Arizona dont want young Chicanos and Chicanas to learn about their history, about their trials and tribulations, and, yes, about their triumphs. Its as if we never existed, as if we are not part of this great panorama that is the United States of America. But, we are you know. We have been here, in this part of the world, for thousands of years in one form or another. This is true whether some people want to accept it or not whether they want to acknowledge it or not. One reason why our literature is not as well accepted as that of other Hispanics is that our literature has been, for the most part, an angry literature. We Chicanos are the ones who have faced the discrimination, who have faced the rejection. We have struggled like no other Hispanic group has struggled. Yet, we have persevered. We are still here and, collectively, we are growing stronger, more adaptable. But, we are not to be feared. Out literature has grown, has matured, has become part of the American lexicon. Were willing to join the mainstream. Were willing to be part of the structure. And we will be. So, dont fear us. Dont fear our ideas, our philosophies. Dont fear our wanting to talk to each other. After all, we have a lot of history behind us. We have much to teach our young people. You people in Arizona may try to stop our communicating with one another, but, you wont succeed. You may ban all our books from high school classrooms, but, you know, that doesnt matter, because we will find the way. Tenlo por seguro we will find the way. Sin Fin

It's time to take a break and spring into action. The arrival of a new season is the perfect time to reinvent your wardrobe. Before you head to the mall, shop in your closet first. Here are some tips to freshen up your basics:
Get organized. First, start by reorganizing your closet. Don't just shove your old clothes aside when you add some new spring and summer things. You need to be able to see what you have in plain sight. When clothes are crammed together or shoes piled high in a jumble, it's easy to miss what you already have. Don't be afraid to give your closet a makeover when you're sprucing up your wardrobe. It may require a trip to the hardware store or the paint store ... as well as to the local Goodwill store. One of the best things I have ever done to my closet is to change out the wire hangers for all black velvet ones. No more hanger marks!
Play stylist. We may not always have time in the morning to stand in our closets and put together a fantastic outfit. I mean, really. So think about having your own styling session on a lazy weekend. Just set aside 30 minutes or so and play in your closet, experimenting with different combinations. If I find an outfit I like in a fashion magazine, I often will try to recreate it in my own closet. Some professionals actually advise taking photos of outfits and making a "visual" board for future reference. However, I never seem to have the time to go to this much trouble, so I just take a "visual tour" of my clothes which I have arranged by color and then mix and match separates and hang them together to wear the next week. This seems to work a week or two at a time, when I know my schedule and can plan in advance. Get Funky. One of the best ways to
reinvent your wardrobe is to think outside the fashion closet. Think unexpected combinations and special pieces. It can be layering a sheer poncho cover-up over a pair of jeans or one pair of incredibly glamorous shoes ... or a huge, floppy hat. Statement jewelry especially a striking one-of-a-kind vintage piece can give you an unforgettable style personality. Get outside your regular "go-to" uniform and be daring.
Think separates. There are lots of

ways to reinvent the old basics. If you have a lot of suits in your closet, you have a lot of options for your wear-to-work wardrobe. It doesn't have to be boring. Swap your normal white buttondown shirt for a bright blouse with ruffles. Tops with sheer overlays are a hot trend this spring and the perfect way to cool off a basic pair of trousers in the warmer months.
Add color. Let your wardrobe blossom

with color this spring. Tangerine coral may be "the" color of the season, but there are lots of other vibrant ways to inject some boldness into your dark-colored basics. Accent your favorite white or black classics with a bold color. From pastels to brights, there's a hue for you. And don't worry about "matching" your colors exactly. Odd color combos are the new way to cool off this season.

Get graphic. If your closet is full of

solid neutrals, then it's time to add some bold prints another spring and summer fashion trend. The abstract florals and animal prints will instantly give your wardrobe a break from the boredom of basics. Try one eye-popping print at a time to punch up your other clothes. Remember to keep your prints in proportion! If you're a tall person, you can get away with wearing a larger print; petite women should stick to smaller prints that won't overwhelm them.

Spring Cleaning Challenge: From "Chotchky" to Liberotchky

Spring cleaning is not considered an aerobic sport ... but it should be. Just the thought of it makes my heart pound and my endorphins flow. And just like working out, after I do it, I feel so much better. And that's the point decluttering brings joy. It's a mystery, but it's one I discovered when I was very young. "Clean your closet!" my mother would say on a Saturday when I had a million more fun things to do. "It's not that it's so much fun, but you'll feel better after." She was right. Out with the old, in with the almost-new. She never met a resale shop she didn't like. And now we know that decluttering or spring cleaning is not only a way to help others and maybe earn some cash, it's a real boost to our own personal health mental, physical and emotional. In my neighborhood, it was "tschochkie," and it was almost always plural tschochkies because who can stop at just one ceramic poodle? "I call this junk we accumulate 'Chotchky,'" writes Dennis, who promises greater clarity and improved mental focus if you get rid of it. "It's anything that crowds, intrudes, clutters or in any way distracts from our soul's higher purpose." It may be news to you that your soul and your dusty pile of old high school year books are connected, but the important thing is, everyone benefits from a serious, laugh-filled go at spring cleaning. (That's my secret: Spring clean with a friend. She gives you three to 100 hours of her time, and you repay the favor. And if you've never done nighttime cleaning with a friend, or willing partner, perhaps accompanied by your favorite crooner and a bottle of red, you really should give it a try.)

DOUBLING UP AT CEMETERY MAKES ROOM FOR HUSBAND'S TWO WIVES

DEAR ABBY: Years ago I lost my beautiful wife. We had been married for more than 30 years. I bought a plot at the cemetery for both of us, and she's buried there now. I have since remarried and have been blessed with another wonderful wife. There are no spaces left next to the existing plot, although I would like to be placed between both my wives when the time comes. Any recommendations? -- MR. IN-BETWEEN DEAR MR. IN-BETWEEN: You have a couple of options. One would be to ask if your cemetery permits "double-depth" burials, in which one vault is placed on top of another. Or, if you wish, upon your demise you could choose cremation for yourself and have your ashes divided and placed with both wives. I discussed your question with a wonderful lady, Lisa Carlson, executive director of the Funeral Ethics Organization. She's a mine of commonsense information on the subject of death and funerals -- a subject many people find difficult to discuss. Lisa reminded me that years ago, funerals were handled at home and by the community, and children grew up understanding what would happen when a death occurred. However, as we turned death over to funeral directors, much of that common knowledge has been lost. The average adult plans only one funeral in a lifetime, and few schools teach us what our choices and rights are -- or how to save money on funerals. Readers, the Funeral Ethics Organization publishes free, state-specific pamphlets on the subject of funeral consumer rights. To download one for your state, visit its website, funeralethics.org, or send a business-size SASE to Funeral Ethics Organization, 87 Upper Access Road, Hinesburg, VT 05461, for a print version. ** DEAR ABBY: I recently married my boyfriend of five years. Our marriage is only a few months old, and we're not happy. My husband is sweet, but he is absolutely the world's worst communicator. He's an introvert and has a "whatever" attitude about everything. He tells me he can't put his feelings into words. So how can we fix any of our problems? We also constantly fight about our sex life. I'd appreciate it at least weekly. He doesn't care if we do "it" or not. I have voiced my concern about our sex life, but it doesn't seem to help. I feel rejected and hurt, and I crave this attention from my husband. I'm an affectionate and attractive young woman -- so what gives? -- NEEDS ATTENTION IN DALLAS DEAR NEEDS ATTENTION: Was your husband this way during the five years you were together before the wedding? If he was, you shouldn't have gone through with it because people don't magically change after a trip to the altar. If he was passionate, attentive and verbal but now has withdrawn, ask him a simple question: "Do you still want to be married to me?" If he can't answer that one, it's time to ask yourself an important question: "Am I better off with him or not?" If the answer is no, accept the fact that it's time to end the marriage. ** Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Drink Before You Thrive

Next time you're feeling a little puckish or out of sorts, have a drink of water. Two recent but separate studies of men and women, published in the British Journal of Nutrition and the Journal of Nutrition, respectively, found that mild dehydration measurably impacts more than physiology. It alters your mood. Mild dehydration is defined as a mere 1.5 percent loss of normal water volume in the body. That's not much. In a typical male weighing 150 pounds (and containing about 40 liters of water), for example, that's a little bit over half-a-liter or 20 ounces of water. It's estimated that in a temperate climate, the average person on the average day must replace 2.5 liters of water lost through normal respiration, perspiration, urination and other bodily functions. The psychological effect of mild dehydration appears to be different, according to gender. The researchers evaluated 51 healthy men and women three times in three months, subjecting them to a treadmill workout to induce dehydration. In men, mild dehydration caused difficulty in memory and alertness. In women, cognitive ability was largely unaffected. Instead, they suffered more from significant fatigue, tension and anxiety. The mood changes occurred regardless of whether the subject was exercising or resting.
Why? Because I'm pretty sure Dennis has misspelled "chotchky."

House Too Small? Get Out!

Q: We planned to move two years ago when our fourth child announced herself, but then the economy tanked. Now we are bursting at our seams. How can we get the most new family living space on a not very big budget? A: Remodeling is the obvious answer. It's seldom inexpensive, nor dust-and-tumultfree, but even a small remodeling project can add valuable living space or at least, the illusion of it. I've seen modest "bump-outs" that actually net only a few extra feet but dramatically enhance a room's livability. Perhaps you can knock out a ceiling and expand a room upward? Or remove an interior wall and let small rooms flow together into what just looks like a much larger space? An encouraging word about remodeling: Almost any project done well will increase the value of your home. The annual Return on Investment report from Remodeling magazine (remodeling.com) says a new family room will pay back 60.2 percent of its renovation costs, should you sell your home within the next few years. Add a second bath, and you stand to recoup more than half the cost. Another thought altogether: Add a new room outside your house, and you'll add at least three seasons' worth of extra living space. More good news for tight budgets: A pergola can be a do-it-yourself project for any reasonably handy person. The al fresco addition we show here comes packaged in a complete kit with all the necessary components and assembly hardware. According to the manufacturer, Trex (trex.com), it can be installed by two adults in less than two hours. And it comes all ready to be painted. One important detail: You'll need a deck, patio or porch to anchor your new pergola. But still more good news from Remodeling magazine's cost-vs. -gain report: A new deck addition should pay back more than half what it costs to build. With outdoor living so in, home furnishing manufacturers are going all out to make things easy and long-lived. Trex, for example, makes its pergolas, decks and furniture out of recyclables, such as sawdust, reclaimed wood and old plastic bags (They consume some 3.1 billion bags a year). Virtually impervious to the weather, the company's new textured "wood alternatives" do a good job of emulating the real thing. According to Sunbrella and Chella, also up for year-round use outdoors or in new fabrics and decorative trims are engineered to shrug off sun and rain, dry almost instantly and refuse to rot. It's all good news for the housebound, looking for a sensible way to get out (literally) and enjoy more family room.

Your Horoscope
It's the first full week of the Aries solar transit. Mercury, still retrograde, is the star of the show, pulling off a few antics while he still can. Uranus joins in with a dash of disruption, reminding us not to get too comfortable as he makes a dance of his annual alignment with the sun. Plan for delays and miscommunication. Being prepared somehow staves off misfortune. When all goes well, celebrate your fantastic luck. ARIES (March 21-April 19). The good and bad news is the same: Your intelligence quotient has little to do with what you accomplish in life. Although you're extremely bright and will remember much of what you pick up, you'll have to dig deeper to apply it in a meaningful way. When you do this, you'll hit a home run on all levels. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll complete many ordinary tasks this week that might be categorized as "chores," but not by you. Instead, you choose to see your tasks as "improvements" or "successful actions." This reframing will buoy your mood and make you radiate a confident, winning energy. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Humans have an innate instinct to imitate the dynamic influences around them, which is why full-grown adults sometimes pick up (or lose!) accents when they move to foreign countries. Your knack for imitation will be uncanny this week, and you'll use it by modeling yourself after a successful person in your midst. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your happiness could hinge on any number of factors, possibly including your digestion, glandular function or the weather. Better not to chase smiles and laughter, and instead focus on mining the treasures of your current circum-

stance however merry or solemn you happen to feel. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your sense of showmanship dictates that the show must go on, and on it will go. Your tenacity is special, though you may not see it as such. You keep going long after the others get tired, bored or distracted. Your focus is shrewd as you continually strive to deliver something wonderful, meaningful and unique. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Spending time with people who encourage you will give wings to your emotional life. The confidence these hours inspire in you will be remarkable. Arrange your schedule to include several meetings with your core support system in April, and a pet project of yours will quickly take off. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Creative choices and matters of personal preference will come into play. Your taste is different from that of your friends, family, colleagues and customers; that much will be apparent. With your discerning eye and offbeat logic, you will lead, influence and teach others. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll contemplate your freedom and act in a way you wouldn't be able to were you not liberated. You realize there's a responsibility that comes with your freedom, and this doesn't make you feel less free. Instead, it makes you appreciate the freedom you have all the more. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Conscience and compassion are so ingrained in you that you don't even have to think about the "right move." You're no heartless climber who will do what you have to do to get to the
next level. You're a loving caregiver who will stop and wait, content to arrive when you can do so as a solid team member. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Organizing your life has just as much to do with your physical possessions as it does with your schedule, intentions and goals. This will be one of your favorite kinds of weeks, as you'll get the chance to move things around, categorize them, clean them and arrange them just so. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll be challenging yourself and growing new capabilities. Under stress, it's hard to read your situation accurately. Remember to relax. It will help you get perspective. If you can't relax, you can at least gather experience so that in the future, similar situations won't cause quite as much fear and tension. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are reluctant to aggressively market yourself and will secretly wish that a supportive friend would jump in to sing your praises. This will happen when you least need it. For now, learn how to promote yourself in a way that feels comfortable. It's a matter of trial and error. But keep going, and you'll find your way. THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: It's not enough for you to have what you need. You like to obtain it with grace and high moral standards. Your remarkable style of providing for yourself and your loved ones will net you many fans this year. A social tie leads to a financial breakthrough in April. May and June bring the chance for new business and meaningful times with family. Friends share their best resources with you in July. You might enjoy free travel because you serve a special purpose for someone else.

CONFRONT YOUR CUPBOARDS. Dennis asks: How much food to you feel is truly empowering you, and what percentage is "foodotchky?" (I see an unfortunate trend here.) He advises you to "throw away everything that doesn't contribute to making you feel happy, healthy and energized. If the junk isn't there, you won't miss it." This is extremely optimistic on his part but totally doable on your part. I struggle with it, but I suggest you recycle unwanted food instead of tossing it, because there are way too many hungry people in America.

Profits Trump Morality in 'Syndicate'
DEVELOPER: Starbreeze Studios PUBLISHER: EA Games
REVIEW S 5 stars CORING SYS TEM = Must -H 4 stars = Very ave Good 3 stars = 2 stars Above Avera ge = Barg a 1 star = in Bin Don't B other
SYSTEM: Microsoft Xbox 360 (PC, PS3) PRICE: $59.99 ESRB RATING: Mature REVIEW RATING: 3.5 stars (out of 5) Not everyone was happy to hear that the 90s strategy game "Syndicate" was being reborn as an action-packed first-person shooter. Probably because the only thing that survived the transition is the world that both games inhabit. It's just too bad that the new version rushes players through a very brief campaign that emphasizes explosions over atmosphere. "Syndicate" takes place in a world not unlike our own. Corporations wield more power than most countries, and dirty dealings mixed with relaxed morality spawn diabolical corporate wars. Players take on the role of Eurocorp agent Miles Kilo as he maximizes profits through strategic slaughter. In this reboot, the tactical game play found in the original is replaced with fast-paced, cover-based shooting action. Some levels are rather bland, while others feature a copious amount of shortcuts and trap doors to discover. Still, the game play would be humdrum if not for the DART 6 microchip embedded in Kilo's flesh. This advanced piece of technology lets Kilo see enemies anywhere in the vicinity, whether they're hiding or not. It also slows down time and increases his damage when activated. Kilo can also hack into various devices to take enemies out or convince them to temporarily join his cause. Playing "Syndicate" in coop mode with up to four players is where the real fun lies. In addition to exploring unique levels, players can upgrade their abilities and gear, which is necessary to survive the increased challenge of these fun areas. Unlike many 'coop' games, players will actually have to work together to survive. Fans of the original may be disappointed with so many changes, but the new version of "Syndicate" is still fun to play.

DJ Spotlight | Autoerotique
ers for EMI during 2008, these working class heroes took a much-deserved personal break and like Martin & Lewis, Simon & Garfunkel, The Captain & Tannille etc. before them, steered their separate courses and architected their respective solo projects (Keiths being a slightly electrohouse EP & Daves an almost , terrifyingly intense prog-opera set). It wasnt until late 2008 when the group reunited putting all side projects conveniently aside. Returning in early 2009 and signing with Dim Mak Records, the duo streaked like a tracer bullet through the strobe-lit sky of the T.O. dance community with their official first single Gladiator featuring remixes by Aoki/AM, Klever, Larry Tee/Alexander Technique, The Faint, AC Slater & Milano.
Autoerotique stores electro, techno, house, Dutch house, Dutch-colonial house, rave, rock, rave-rock, indierock and even ska on speed dial and calls them up frequently. Their effortlessly protein, shape-shifting sound can careen wildly from project to project, so its not unexpected to hear them transform from Dutch house to, say, Norwegian black metal on the same record thus, earning them the lazily au courant nick name Autobots. The ambiguously great duos Keith Robertson & David Henderson were homegrown and shifted-into-shape within the multi-culti bustle of Torontos west end. Cutting their collective teeth as indie band producers they hop-scotched over to dance music after receiving a marijuana-lubricated epiphany to Groove Armandas first album at the tenderized age of 17only to be swallowed whole by the citys burgeoning dance scene. After toiling as produc-
Following the Gladiator EP Autoero, tique showed off the many colorful arrows in their musical quiver releasing remixes for Lykke Li, Shinichi Osawa, Chris Cornell & Timbaland, Diplo & Laidback Luke, Larry Tee, B. Rich, Disco Bisquits, Fischerspooner, Weezer, Benny Benassi, and Tiesto. Dim Mak just released the latest EP appropriately titled Turn Up The Volume with an eye-catching music video attached. The video has been blogged continuously by CBSNews and In The Mix. Flash forward 6 months and the group is back in studiofollowing a non-stop liver-punishing tourand excitedly working on their next single and first full length LP .

THE GOLF DOCTOR
The big mismatch

By T.J. TOMASI
ITS GOOD FOR YOUR GAME
Learn by example
You can learn a lot by comparing the swing positions of good and not-so-good players. In the photo at left below is Ryder Cup player Boo Weekley, one of the better ball strikers on the PGA Tour. There are several things to note that are instructive: good enough when you play the very difficult Champions course at PGA National as he and Boo are in these photos.
ABOUT THE WRITER

Dr. T.J. Tomasi is a teaching professional in Port St. Lucie, Fla. Visit his Web site at tjtomasi.com.
Hank Haneys new book is titled The Big Miss, but if the goal is to tell the real story, a better title would be The Big Mismatch. Tiger Woods left his coach Butch Harmon for Haney for several reasons, one of which was that he had trouble hitting the high draw. The high draw is hard to hit because high and draw are antithetical; high matches up with an open face (more loft), while low matches more naturally with a closed face. Its easy to hit a high, open-faced cut or a low closed-faced hook, but to hit it high with a draw you need a very powerful, on-plane strike, timed perfectly to a slightly closed face. So the high draw led Tiger to search for a new swing, and Haney provided a motion that was more around and with deeper hands than the steeper, more up-and-down swing that Harmon taught him. But heres the problem: No golfer ever had a faster body than Tiger, and with hips like lightning, the deeper swing trapped the club behind him. Simply stated, fast hips and deep hands dont match. When Tigers timing was perfect, he could square the club at impact, but on other occasions, Tiger was forced to flip the club with his arms and hands. Flip too much Tiger hits another monster mash. Unand the ball goes left; fortunately, this game isnt played on the too little and it goes driving range where, after a few balls, you right. Finally, after years can compensate for most any flaw. of off-center hits, not even Tigers short game could save him from this big mismatch.
1. Because Weekley started his downswing by

transferring his weight to his left side, he simply continues the process until the weight is on the outer rim of his front foot toward the heel of his foot. Compare this to the amateur in the second photo. This golfer is on his toes, a sign that hes had trouble shifting his weight to his left foot to start the downswing. Weight on the toes triggers the neural program for jumping, and to prevent falling over, he will snap his spine upright.
3. As part of his full body rotation, Weekley keeps his right shoulder chasing his left, assuring that he will not run out of right arm, an error the amateur has fallen prey to. When this young player stops his shoulder rotation and simply hits with his arms, the trail arm is also stopped, and that causes the club to wrap around the body. A few years ago, scientists discovered the mimic gene. It controls our ability to learn by copying, using a major tool the visual system. The moral: Be careful who you watch.
GOLF SPOKEN HERE
TRY THIS
MAKE GOLF FUN FOR KIDS TO LEARN

Not sure how to handle your budding young superstar? TRY THIS: During play, kids dont impersonate the doctor, they are the doctor, so make sure you encourage them to Be the golfer. Kids should become submerged in the playing of the game vs. the swinging of the club or the perfection of the shot, or even (at the early stages) the score. Remember that its play, it needs to be fun, and it needs to be artistic something they create.
2. Note also how fully released Weekleys core

is. Boo is thick around the middle, but still makes sure to keep his midsection moving freely through the ball. Remember: The core is the drum major in the weight flow parade. By contrast, the amateurs chest, pelvis and shoulders appear frozen. The only body part he used to hit the ball was his arms, and thats not
To coax the ball though a tight gap in the trees or between the bunkers.
Thread
At the finish, Boo Weekleys core is fully released and his weight is on the outer rim of his front foot.
Because his core stopped rotating, this young players arms become wrapped around his body and hes dancing on his toes.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., driver of the No. 88 Chevrolet, races Matt Kenseth, driver of the No. 17 Ford, during the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday. (NASCAR Photo)
Drivers foresee downside to making inner workings public
ale Earnhardt Jr. says folks just cant keep a secret in the NASCAR garage these days. Its not his fellow drivers who are being the blabbermouths, so to speak, its NASCAR officials and their new policies and proposed ones for sharing information among race teams and fans, too. Earnhardt, and a lot of his peers, say NASCARs proposal to share the data from the electronic fuel injection mechanisms of
the top race finishers is putting the sport on a slippery slope. And he and others say the trend toward making the drivers meeting a public event takes away the opportunity for drivers and crew chiefs to have open and honest communication with each other, and with NASCAR officials, about how races are run. Earnhardt said that if NASCAR shares one teams EFI data with the entire
garage, a team that had somehow managed to get an advantage over the competition wont get to keep it for long. Id rather not have that, he said of the proposed sharing of information. It would be a benefit to be able to see that. But, I think it is a slippery slope. With the fuel injection, it brings in the ability this year to be able to see data that weve never been able to see before. I think we should ease into how we use that data,
and how NASCAR allows us to use that data, kind of slowly not to upset the culture of the sport, or how things have worked in the past. I think if we take this new door that has been opened to us and abuse it, it might not be good for the sport. I think its better for competition for everybody to have a few secrets.

Slippery slope?...
Continued from page 27 Already, teams are able to look at data from other cars in their multi-car organizations and at data from affiliated teams. Jimmie Johnson seemed pretty pleased to see Tony Stewarts EFI data from Las Vegas, where Stewart motored away from Johnson on several late-race restarts. I did look at Tonys data, and definitely have a direction and know whats going on, Johnson said. Its a complicated thing that Im certainly not going to share for the world to see. But Ive got a clear direction of where to work. Earnhardt and others also say that there are better ways for drivers to connect with fans than opening the drivers meeting to the public, as was the case at Las Vegas Motor Speedway two races back. He and many of his peers would rather go back to the old-style drivers meetings, which usually were held in a hot, cramped room at each race track. Only recently were media and other guests invited, and its been some time since there was real discussion at those meetings about issues on the track. It hasnt been, for a long time, a true drivers meeting in the true sense of the word, Matt Kenseth said. Nobody is going to raise their hand and ask a question in that environment, not anybody these days, anyway. Kenseth said that if a driver has an issue today, he tries to resolve it in a private meeting with NASCAR officials. It is different, but it has been like that for a long time, he said. They have been letting more and more people in. I remember when we used to do it my first couple years in the series, we did it in the scoring stand at Charlotte, and you could barely get the drivers and crew chiefs in there. That is all it was. It was never a media event or fan event. It was a drivers meeting where there was a forum with discussions and stuff like that. We havent had that in a long time. Earnhardt Jr. agreed with Kenseth, saying he had difficulty following the basic instructions given in the meeting last week at Las Vegas. I couldnt see those video screens, he said. I really couldnt pay attention to what was going on. So, the meeting to me didnt serve its purpose. Jimmie Johnson agreed with Earnhardt and Kenseth, saying the drivers meeting needs to be more intimate. He said he only recently learned that for some time drivers meetings have been streamed online, and he doesnt like that either. I just feel like, that is what that meeting is for, we need an opportunity to sit there and have open communication weekly, he said. With all the eyes, it limits that ability, I believe.

Golden State rematch Sunday

This weeks Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway in California offers the opportunity for a rematch between home-state drivers Kevin Harvick, from Bakersfield, and Jimmie Johnson, from El Cajon. Last year, Harvick used a last-lap pass to beat Johnson, a five-time Auto Club winner. The year before, Harvick hit the wall late, allowing Johnson to win even though Harvick appeared to have the faster car. The last two years, the race has pretty much come down to us and the 48 [Johnson], Harvick said. The year before, I ran into the wall, and last year we won. That was good to come back and rebound from the mistake from 2010. Being able to race with Jimmie was a lot of fun, especially at the California race track. For Johnson there are few places more special than the Fontana track. It was there, back in 2002, that he got his first Cup win, in his 13th caKevin Harvick reer start, and he won again there in 02, making him the first rookie to sweep Cup races at a track. He said that first Cup win was as big as it seemed at the time. That was everything to me and my career, he said. I knew driving [Jeff Gordons] equipment, that if I didnt win after he came off a championship season and basically handed me his cars that I was going to be in trouble. So to win in my 13th start, 10th race of that season, that is my most memorable win, period.
Patrick to run in charity race

The dirt racing world is about to get a taste of Danica Mania. The female NASCAR driver is set to run in the Prelude to the Dream charity race on June 6 at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. It will be the second start on dirt for the former IndyCar driver. I raced on dirt once before in a go-kart when I was young, but thats about it, Patrick said in a track release. Its going to be a challenge for sure, but I know Tony [Stewart] has offered to help in any way possible. Im excited about it, but Im also nervous. Stewart, who owns Eldora and is Patricks car owner in Cup, said hes proud to have Patrick participate in his charity event, Im excited, he said. I told her: Danica Patrick Dont feel like you (NASCAR photo) have to come do this. She said: No, I really want to do this. Im excited for her. I dont think its something that she has had a chance to do very much. It will be fun to get her in an environment that is definitely new to her, for sure.
Vickers: Driving No. 55 more than second chance

Unable to secure a full-time ride after his Red Bull team ceased operations at the end of last year, Brian Vickers signed on for a six-race ride in the No. 55 Toyota at Michael Waltrip Racing, and began his gig with a fifth-place finish in the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. He led three times for 125 laps in the car hell share with Mark Martin. He said its not exactly a second chance, career-wise; its more. Its really my third or more, he said, adding that hes thankful for all the experiences that have happened in my life racing with a couple of good teams, to Red Bull, winning and being in the Chase and being in the hospital the next year and not knowing if I was ever going to race again. Then getting a second chance ride [at Red Bull], and now getting, really, a third chance. Very grateful for all those chances and opportunities. He said he believes the sluggish economy, not his run-ins with Chase contender Matt Kenseth last fall at Martinsville and Phoenix, or the sensational article about him in Maxim magazine in which he was portrayed as a liquor-drinking party guy, is the main reason he doesnt have a full-time ride. There have been a lot of opportunities where Ive worked with owners and weve been really close to putting something together, and theres been a lot of interest and theyve been very excited, but the sponsorship hasnt come through, he said. Thats probably been the biggest factor. He also disputes the content of the Maxim article, saying: That was completely a lie. Vickers said his main goal now, in the six races hell be in in the No. 55, is to have a good time. For me, its just go out there and have fun, and just enjoy the experience, he said. Ive been through this a couple times now, where I dont know if Im going to race again so Im just grateful for this opportunity.

Ford does more with less with F-150 EcoBoost

2011 was a huge year for the Ford F-150. Fords all-time best-selling vehicle didnt get just one new engine it got four new engine options all big improvements over the ones they replaced. The new engines include an allaluminum 3.7 liter Duratec V6 that serves as the base engine. The 5.0 V8 from the Mustang GT serves as one optional V8 with a 6.2 liter V8 as the other available V8 and is meant for those that will put their F-150 to serious heavy use but still want a gas engine. But the most interesting engine that Ford came out with last year for the F-150 has to be the EcoBoost V6. Displacing 3.5 liters, direct injection and a pair of turbochargers, the EcoBoost in the F-150 is its first appearance in a rear-where drive application. Power ratings for the EcoBoost are impressive 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. great for hauling large objects like TVs with its completely flat floor. Up front, the big, seats swallow you up and are easily suitable for lengthy road trips. I know the EcoBoost engine works well in car applications like the in the Ford Flex and the Taurus SHO, but in a truck? No worries, its just as good. My King Ranch felt strong and ever never lacked power. And with no trace of turbo lag, you could hardly tell that there are two blowers under the hood. If you listen very carefully and get the throttle just right, you may hear them spool up, but for the most part they go unnoticed. The numbers they deliver wont
Recently I had the opportunity to once again sample the EcoBoost engine, but this time in what has to be the most luxurious F-150s you can get the King Ranch edition. If you like leather, youll love the Ford F-150 King Ranch. Named after the legendary King Ranch in Kingsville, Texas, it has quickly made this iteration of the F-150 the most prestigious truck ever. Thats
because the interior of this F150 is draped in the special leather the ranch is famous for. And its not just on the seats but also on the steering wheel as well as the center console, where the famous King Ranch logo is embroidered. Add the fact the F-150s interior, especially as a SuperCrew is simply huge and you have a cabin that lacks nothing in the way of creature comforts. The back seat is limo-like and
go unnoticed, though. 0-60 mph comes and goes in just 6.5 seconds making it one of the quickest trucks on the road. And it feels it with 90 percent of the EcoBoosts torque being available under 2000 RPM.
The numbers the EPA has given the truck are also impressive 15 mpg in town and 21 mpg on the highway for my four-wheel drive King Ranch. Those numbers improve to 16 in town and 22 on the highway if you stick with two-wheel drive. The power of the EcoBoost will make you think there is a V8 under the hood, but fuel economy numbers will reveal the truth there are only six cylinders in the engine bay. And this truck is no wimp either it can still tow up to 11,000 lbs and has a 3,000 lb payload capacity. For 2012, Ford has made a 36gallon fuel tank standard on four-wheel drive models. Also, four-wheel drive models benefit from neutral tow capability meaning owners can flat-tow their F-150 behind a motorhome. As government mandates on fuel consumption increase, automakers are under pressure to make more fuel efficient cars and trucks. At they same time though, buyers dont want to sacrifice power. Ford has shown with the F-150 EcoBoost you can have both. -- Christopher A. Randazzo

Second win at Bristol no fluke

When Brad Keselowski won the Irwin Tools Night Race last fall at Bristol Motor Speedway, some said it was because he figured out how to beat the system that measured speeds on pit road, a system that has now been changed. On Sunday, after he led four times for 232 laps in winning the Food City 500, there wasnt much to be said other than that he put an old-fashioned whipping on his peers. The fall race was a great win, but when you win one and people tell you it was a fluke, you just want to drive that much harder to win the second, Keselowski said. He said his No. 2 Dodge was a fast one, and his crew made all the right calls. I told somebody before the race, This is the best race car Ive ever had in Cup. And it showed off [Sunday], Keselowski said. Hopefully, we have more cars like this, and well win more races and continue to move the needle forward. Ive said in pre-season this year that the goal here at Penske Racing is to win a Sprint Cup championship, and thats where were all pushing. One win certainly doesnt achieve that, but its a great step and we need more of these steps.
Daytona to repave fire damage

The damage caused by a fire touched off when Juan Pablo Montoya slammed into a jet dryer during the Daytona 500 will result in a repaving of a portion of Turn Three at Daytona International Speedway. Lane Construction, the company that repaved the track in 2010, has been hired to do the work.
