The battle of I-10 ended in asurprising manner on Saturday.UTEP was winning with littletime on the clock. An excitinggame with 12 lead changes can

be expected from this rivalry.The miners only had one player (Mckenzie Moore) in doublefigures(10). A tough 55-51 lossfor the Miners should givethem motivation when theycome back to the Don tonightto face Houston.

Tonight the Miners have a re-match against The Universityof Houston. The Miners play athome and are riding a 2 gamelosing streak. I do not see theMiners losing this game but itwill be close.

UTEP travels to Houston onSaturday to face Rice. Rice iscurrently last place in the Con-ference and should be an easygame. Houston UTEPalumni/fans always seem toflock UTEP games in Houston.Rice is led by Senior guardTamir Jackson(16 point avg).

Isaac Hamilton this past Satur-day led his high school team toa 89-87 Victory againstOcean View. Hamiltonhad 43 points andhelped his team ad-vance in the play-offs.

The UTEP footballteam had a hugeannouncement yes-

terday. Former Texas A&M quarter- back Jameill Showershas decided totransfer toUTEP. Notonly wasShowersa 3 star

recruit out of high school butgave Heisman Trophy winner Johnny "Football" a run at the

starting position untildeep August. This is

definitely a great pick for UTEPand a great startfor the Kugler era.

By Joe Olvera , 2013Its known all over the world as

Java, Cuppa Joe, Liquid Energy, Go Juice, and by other colorful names. But, these conc oc-

tions are often made the traditional way. How-ever, did you know that theres another triedand true method to getting the best cup of Morning Mud? Thats to roast the beans your-self. And there are many different ways to doit.

Paulina Salazar, lead coffee roaster at Bldg. 6, Coffee Roasters, 11385 JamesWatt Dr., B-6 , says that the store with theunusual name is a locally-owned green coffee

bean micro-roastery that focuse s on producing

small batches of crafted coffee that are se-lected by a number of techniques, such ascupping to ensure taste and quality in everysingle batch.

Roasting is what sets usapart from other companies andcoffees, Salazar said. Our passion for cof-fee is what made us open a business thatwould do coffee justice. The business isrelatively new to El Paso, but larger citiesalready have it. We are what they call thethird-wave in the coffee business. It is a newmovement where coffee from different re-gions of the world is roasted by micro-roast-eries, producing high-quality coffee and it isconsidered an artisanal production.

Third-wave coffee include free-trade coffee, direct-trade coffee, specialtyhigh quality beans, single-origin coffee not

blends anymore lighter roasts of the b eans,different methods of coffee brewing, includ-ing individual drip-brewing. As in the mak-

ing of fine wines or in the production of 12-year-old scotch, for the coffee lover, thetaste is the mother of invention. Salazar saidthat roasting coffee is a hand-crafted job. Itis similar to wine, cheese, beer, chocolatecrafting, just to name a few. It takes a lot of

knowledge, and love to the art of roasting cof-fee in order to produce great quality batches of coffee. This art form is very popular in the east

and west coasts, but, it is still new to El Pa-soans.

The Bldg. 6 Roastery sells specialty,single-origin, freshly-roasted coffee either bythe bag or by the cup. They also sell the re-quired brewing equipment and they really pro-mote the right brewing techniques in order for their customers to brew a high quality coffeeat their home. They buy green coffee from var-ious coffee producing countries and roast it atBldg. 6. Since we

buy the rawgreen coffee

beans androast it instore, we areable to give our customers spe-cialty, fresh-roasted coffee,which means better quality and flavor for bet-ter prices than other coffee sellers. Freshly-roasted coffee makes a difference, Salazar

says. Know it and love it.

What a February it has been! We've had snow, wind, windchills in the single digits and teens along with all that

blowing dust and sand. Last Sunday was o ne of those bru-tal days. We recorded the highest wind gust of the year so

far reaching 61 mph. In fact, it has been the windiest daysince March 18, 2012, when El Paso recorded a peak windgust of 66 mph. We also had a powerful winter cold front

blow through during the early afternoon that lowered tem- peratures well below our seasonal ave rage.

One good aspect about having the wind and blowing dustand sand on Sunday was that is was Oscar Sunday. Manyof you did not make outdoor plans but rather indoor par-

ties sitting in front of the big screen.

Below are the strongest winds that were recorded allacross town. Most of this information comes courtesy of the National Weather Service out of Santa Teresa, NM.

Q: We need a bigger house ourdaughter and her husband are comingback to live with us. Instead of moving,we are thinking about adding a deck outback to gain more family living space.Our climate is relatively mild all year'round, so we can use the outdoors fornearly eight months out of the year. Isthis a crazy idea?

A: If so, there are a lot of other familieswho are just as crazy about finding moreliving space outdoors.

A recent survey by IFDA (InternationalFurnishing and Design Assn.) showed

that more than one third of their mem-

bers (35 percent) believe that the trendto outdoor living will only continue togrow between now and 2020. But it hasto be low-maintenance living, they say nobody much wants to deal with tra-ditional amenities like swimming poolsor hot tubs both earned thumbs-downfrom 44.9 percent of IFDA's members.

By contrast, nearly half these design in-dustry professionals turned greenthumbs up on gardening and landscap-ing, low-maintenance landscaping andvegetable gardening, that is. And here'sa number that will especially interestyou: more than a quarter of the design-ers surveyed see Americans doing moreand more of their entertaining in the

Great Outdoors.

So you are right in step, planning to de-velop more al fresco living space. Youcan make it low-maintenance, too, byusing some of the remarkable high-techmaterials that are now available on theoutdoor market.

For example, the comfortably furnishedpergola we show here is constructed ofPVC wrapped over a core of structuralaluminum. The PVC itself is made areyou ready? - from recycled materialslike plastic bags, the kind you get withyour groceries and home-deliverednewspapers.

The manufacturer, Trex (trex.com),

claims to be the world's largest recycler

of plastic bags. They are also theworld's largest manufacturer of whatthey call "high-performance, wood-alter-native" decking and railings warranteednot to crack, peel, chip, scratch or blis-ter, at least, for the next 20 years.

More good news: The pergolas come inDIY kits and a choice of nine new colors,so you can be as trend-forward as youare environmentally sound. Dependingon size, the kits run between $4,300 and$13,500, not a bad bottom line for eightmonths' extra living space.

Even though Venus and Jupiterpromise to bring interesting tension tothe start of the week, relationship is-sues will be quickly and happily re-solved. Tuesday through Friday bringssmooth sailing too smooth for

some. If you're the type who likes tostir up trouble, it's just the kind of lullthat could bring out the rebel in you.Troublemaking, for some, is an irre-sistible part of human nature.

ARIES(March 21-April 19). The waysome use media baffles you. Youwouldn't even tell your best friendwhat you were eating for breakfast, sowhy would you bother to broadcast itto the social networks of the world?You'll find that this week you do havesomething worth sharing, though, andyour idea will spread because youshare it well.

TAURUS(April 20-May 20). Makeyourself happy. Your happiness is im-portant for many reasons. Whenyou're happy, your compassion shinesthrough. It doesn't matter what taskyou take on. From the menial to theintellectual or even heroic, everythingyou touch will hold the energy of yourlove.

GEMINI(May 21-June 21). Many sen-ior citizens admit that of all the years

they have lived, the memories of ado-lescence and early adulthood are themost vivid of all. A memory of whathappened in your teenage years willstrongly affect your experience thisweek. The past has influenced your

personality in interesting ways.

CANCER(June 22-July 22). Creativ-ity will be an increasingly abundantresource for you as the week pro-gresses. In the past, strong emotionsincreased your drive to express your-self, but this week, your productivityisn't related to the intensity of yourmood. You simply want to create, andso you do.

LEO(July 23-Aug. 22). What you findappealing won't appeal to everyone.This is good news all the more foryou to enjoy! And yet the pleasuremay seem hollow unless you canshare it with like-minded individuals.So you'll put out sensors, hoping toconnect with people with similartastes. Thursday brings your first signof hope.

VIRGO(Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Like kidson the playground, Venus and Jupiterseem intent on making you chooseyour loyalties this week. But you're nota child, and you have the social savvyto find something good in many differ-ent kinds of people and interactions.Not declaring your social alignments

may be your bestmove to

date.

LIBRA(Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People willtry to sell to you, but you're just notbuying. You're not in the mood to be atrue believer of any product ormethod. You prefer to combine thebenefits of several different offerings,taking the best from every source.Ever economical, you'll use what ap-plies to you and discard what doesn't.

SCORPIO(Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You likea change you can look forward to for instance, a new season or themastery of a skill you've been workingon. But unexpected change like youexperience this week can be unset-tling. Take it all in stride. This is for thebest. You just need a beat to wrapyour head around it, that's all.

SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22-Dec. 21).People will ask you for help. You may

be skeptical about whether they de-serve or will appreciate your assis-tance. If you do help, it has to be forcompletely unselfish reasons be-cause you know it's the right thing todo. But if you have doubts, it's betterto hang back and evaluate the situa-tion.

CAPRICORN(Dec. 22-Jan. 19).When you enter a new situation, it'sonly natural to feel a little on edge. Ifyou start dreaming up new require-ments, that's a sure sign that you'reletting insecurity get the best of you.Instead, agree to feel unsure, but as-sume you have what it takes to makeit all work out.

AQUARIUS(Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Con-versation comes easily when you talkwith people who are social and sharesome of your interests. But you'll be ina position to work a little harder. You'llloosen up someone who is naturallyreserved and bridge gaps betweendifferent generations and cultures.You're a social wonder.

PISCES(Feb. 19-March 20). Hardwork is positive as long as you'reworking toward something meaningfulto you. If you're in a Cinderella situa-tion slaving amidst evil steprela-tives then your sweat and tearsaren't doing anyone any favors. Don'twait for the mice and birds to saveyou. Scram while you have a cleanshot at the door.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS:Theonly joy to be had in some responsi-

bilities is the pleasure and reliefthat comes from escaping them.A burden will be lifted in thenext three weeks, and you'llcelebrate the new you yetagain. Also, someone you meetthis spring will wind up inspir-ing and altering your days. April

is your chance at a prize. Maylaunches you toward a new goal,

perhaps having to do with fitness.June features the closeness of

family and some very interestingprofessional options.

Smooth Sailing in the Piscean Sea Running Away Is Never the Right Move'Tween 12 and 20 BY dr. roBerT wallace

DR. WALLACE:My best friend and I are unhappyat home and hate school, and we are thinkingabout running away. We are both 17 but will be18 in a couple of months. She has an older cousinwho lives in California, and she said that wecould stay with her till we get settled. She also is

pretty sure she can get us jobs when we turn 18.

My friend's mom won't care if her daughter takesoff, but my overly strict parents will blow their minds. How long do we have to be gone fromhome before we are classified as runaways? Willwe still be runaways after we are 18? Name-less, Detroit, Mich.

NAMELESS:Running away from home is never the right answer when you are unhappy. Runningaway only compounds the problem facing you. If

problems can't be solved within the family, out-

side assistance from the school, religious organi-

zations and community agencies is readily avail-able. The best place to start is with people whoknow you at your school or church. They willknow best how to work things out with your par-ents.A young person under the age of 18 is consideredto be a runaway if he or she is away from homewithout permission. You are labeled a runawayafter you spend your first night away from homewithout parental permission. If you and your friend should run away and make it to California,your friend's cousin would be committing a crimeif she sheltered your friend and you, knowingthat you are away from home without your par-ents' blessing.One of the major problems facing the runaway isthe lack of money, which causes the teen to dothings he or she wouldn't normally do to earnfunds. Many of these things are illegal or morally

unacceptable!

OFF THE CHAINFor most dog owners, the choke collar is a poor choice By Gina Spadafori

Universal Uclick

Years ago when I started training dogs, I couldnthave imagined doing so without a slip-lead col-lar, commonly known as a choke collar. Thesedays, I cant remember the last time I put one ona dog, and I may never feel the need to do soagain.

Thats because the options for trainingand control have changed, and are now easier ondog and owner alike.

The choke chain was never without problems. In the old days, the important thing toremember was to never leave the collar on your dog unless you were training or walking.

It is, after all, a choke collar, and over the years Ive heard from readers whose dogsdied when the collar rings became caught on thetooth of another dog in play, on a piece of fenc-ing in the yard or even a heater grate in thehouse. In other cases, dogs were injured and trau-matized, and the owners who saved their lives bygetting them free of the collars deadly grip were

often bitten by their terrified dogs.This is what it has come down to, for

me: If your dog is wearing a choke-chain collar as his everyday collar, replace it with a buckle or snap-together collar today. And then, like manytrainers and behaviorists, I advise that when youtake that chain collar off, you throw it away.

Some good dog trainers still use slip-style collars and leads, at least some of the time,and theyre still the top choice for almost escape-

proof handling in veterinary hospitals.But this is a piece of equipment thats

nearly impossible for the average dog owner touse properly. When the collar isnt use d properly,

its ineffective at best, and cruel at worst.There are only two ways to put on achoke-chain collar: with the moving end over thedogs neck (as intended), or under the dogsneck (incorrect). By the simplest law of aver-ages, youd think folks would get them onright half the time, but it never seems towork that way. When the moving part of the chain is under the dogs neck, thechain doesnt release easily when theleash is slackened. And that means thecollar is constantly tight, choking thedog.

Even if the collars put oncorrectly, the choke collar is verydifficult to use in the way that ex-

pert dog trainers have over theyears. A choke-chain collar ismeant to be loose at all times,except for the occasional split-second tightening to correct adogs behavior. But people dontseem to know that, so I am al-ways seeing gaspingdogs in

tight choke chains dragging their owners behindthem.

These days, my advice on choke chainsis this: Dont bother. Get the help of a goodtrainer to choose training equipment thats not sohard to master and learn how to use it. For some dogs, a buckle or snap-together collar will

be all you need, or a limited-slip collar known asa martingale. For others, a head halter or front-clip harness will work best. The pinch collar hasadvocates, too. It looks horrific, but it canttighten down to choke a dog the way a slip-leadcollar can.

Theyre all easier for the average per-

son to use, and less likely tocause unintentionalharm than a slip-lead

collar. And thatswhy after so manyyears of giving ad-vice, Ive changedmy recommenda-tion on this topic.You simply dontneed to master the choke-chaincollar to teachany old dognew tricksanymore.

The s lip-lead or choke-chain collar has been used for gener-ations, but better options for training and control are availabletoday.

DJ Spotlight | The Disco Fries With the successful release of theirfirst official single "Killer", perform-ances all over the world, andcountless chart topping remixes totheir name, it is safe to say that2011 has been a big year for theDisco Fries. The duo have builtquite a name for themselves since

joining forces in 2008 while attend-ing Berklee College of Music inBoston. The following year, Danny Danger and Nick Piklz landed theirfirst big break when they wereasked to remix Flo Rida's "Sugar" for

Atlantic Records. The song quickly climbed the Billboard charts, even-tually becoming certified Platinum,and the Disco Fries' career was inmotion.

Since their initial success with"Sugar", the Disco Fries have beenapproached by every major USlabel and have lent their signaturesound to artists such as Katy Perry,Britney Spears, Usher, Pitbull, Chris Brown, MikePosner, Steve Aoki, and Cobra Starship. In2010, their remix of Far East Movement's "Like

A G6" garnered massive support and rackedup 1.5 million views on Youtube.

As the Disco Fries began gaining momentumfrom their successful remixes, it caught theattention of DJs and club owners around the

world. This led to the duo's first performancein late 2010, which took place across theglobe in Hong Kong, China. The pair have re-turned to the Far East multiple times andhave also worked their magic in some of themost distinguished clubs across the US in-cluding the Palms in Las Vegas, Avalon in Los

Angeles, the National in Miami, and Tenjunein New York City.

In 2011, the Disco Fries crafted their debutsingle, "Killer", featuring the vocals of Inter-scope recording artist and E! News corre-spondent, Clinton Sparks. The song and itsequally creepy video were picked up by Central Station/Ministry of Sound and re-ceived support from such names as Diplo,DJ Chuckie, and Gregori Klosman.

Soon thereafter, the duo began collaborat-ing with legendary DJ/producer Tommie Sun-shine. The trio's first single, "Don't Look Back",

was quickly signed by Vicious Recordingsand was premiered on the 2012 Ministry ofSound Annual in Australia. The compilation

was mixed by Tommy Trash and Tom Piper,featured tracks by Swedish House Mafia,

Deadmau5, and Benny Benassi, and imme-diately shot to #1 on the iTunes Australiaalbum sales chart.

In the meantime, the Fries were al-ready at work on their next single,"Born To Fly", which features the vo-cals of Niles Mason (of David Guetta& Afrojack's "Louder Than Words").

Lately, the duo continues to remix major label artists including theirmost recent work for Flo Rida's "GoodFeeling" (produced by Dr. Luke &

Avicii) and Enrique Iglesias' "I Like How It Feels" (featuring Pitbull). In addition,Katy Perry handpicked the Disco Fries& Tommie Sunshine for their remix ofher 6th single "The One That Got

Away".

As the Disco Fries continue to grow and develop their sound, the duoplan to push the boundaries of elec-tronic music to places it has notbeen before. Their music will not berestricted to any one genre as thepair constantly challenges them-selves to explore new sounds and

ideas. With many exciting releases on thehorizon, 2013 looks to be a very big year forthis talented duo.

Raising the bar Nissans all-new 2013 Altima

Since its debut in 1993 as the replacement for the NissanStanza, the Altima is one of those cars that please just abouteveryone. From the base sedan with its four-cylinder enginethat makes for excellent daily transportation, to the top-shelf SLwith its plush interior and V6 engine, the Altima is, and has al-ways been, a crowd pleaser.

For 2013, Nissan has given the Altima a complete redesign. Now in its fifth generation, the Altima has a more upscale look and feel throughout, pushing it closer to Maxima territory.

Last years Altima was hardly disappointing to look at, but thisnew Altima is a real looker. While the dimensions are basicallythe same, the new sheetmetal is more striking and even hints of

Nissans luxury brand, Infiniti, can be spotted. In a world o f Ac-cords and Camrys, the Altima is a fresh of breath air.

The interior of the new Altima is a combination of simplicity,comfort and style. Straightforward controls means within fiveminutes you can master everything. The cabin is super comfort-able with front seats that are some of the best in the business,

being very soft and supportive. The bac k seats are not quite ascomfortable, but hey its a back seat and there is plenty of room. For utility purposes, the rear seats fold nearly flat givingthe Altima additional space along with its 15 cubic foot trunk.

Nissan kept the drivetrains in the new Altima basically the samefrom the previous car with one minor exception the base 2.5liter four-cylinder gets a bump in power, from 175 hp to 182 hp.The 270hp 3.5 liter V6 continues to be an option. And as wasthe case last year, the only transmission available in the Altimais a CVT automatic.

There are seven trim levels (yes seven) that the Altima is avail-able in from the bare-bones base model to the top-of-the-lineSL. Fortunately for me, I found myself in an SL and wasamazed with the features it had.

First and foremost, the test cars Cayenne Red paint along withits 18-inch alloy wheels and charcoal leather interior made thisAltima look like a million bucks - even making an Infiniti M37owner do a double-take.Continues on next page

From the start of Speedweeks through the clos-ing stages of the Daytona 500,an overwhelming amount of focus was on Danica Patrick,first for her romance with fel-low Sprint Cup rookie RickyStenhouse Jr., then for her win-ning the pole for the 500.

It continued on Sun-day in the race as Patrick ranamong the leaders all day andeven became the first woman tolead the 500 under the greenflag, when she took the top spotfor the first time on Lap 90. Shewound up leading five laps.

But with 10 laps togo, Jimmie Johnson, who hadridden under the media radar for most of Speedweeks, surged

past Brad Keselowski into thelead and held it the rest of theway to score his second Day-tona 500 victory.

Johnson, who stuck to single-car runs throughoutthe pre-race practices, said hisspeed at the end of the raceshouldnt have come as a sur-

prise to anyone.At the end when it

was time to go, I knew we hada straight race car with noscratches on it, he said. Weworked real hard. We had agame plan down here everytime. Even though we were insingle-car drafts [in practice],we had an agenda and thingswe worked on and made the car a little bit better each day, kept

perfecting it.I had one heck of a

race car.

He said that just be-cause the media attention waselsewhere, it didnt mean thosetruly in the know were caughtoff-guard.

I guess I was quietin the overall spectrum of things from the media side, hesaid.I think people in thegarage, people knew we weresitting on a lot of speed and hada very good race car.

Johnson said the keyto his win was the pass of Ke-selowski with 10 laps to go,

just before the caution flagflew. Because he was leading,he got to choose which lanehed be in for the restart. He

picked the preferred lane uphigh, and Keselowski wasntable to overcome the disadvan-tage, and faded to fourth behindthe surging duo of Dale Earn-hardt Jr. and Mark Martin, whofinished second and third, re-spectively.

Patrick lined up third

on the deciding restart, butfaded to eighth at the end,which still was the best-ever Daytona 500 finish by a female.Sara Christian holds the all-time Cup record with a fifth-

place finish at Pittsburgh in1949.

Patrick said sheneeded more experience totruly contend for victory.

I really didnt feellike I had a great grasp as tohow do you go win this race,she said. I hadnt wrapped myhead around exactly how thatwas going to happen.

I kept thinking aboutit out there, because for themost part I was running half throttle for most of the race,running in the line. I will know

better for next time and for Tal-ladega. I mean the same stuff will probably apply.

Johnson was amongthose praising Patrick for her

performance.

Being close to other competi-tors, door-to-door, whatever en-vironment takes place on therace track, at these speeds, shewas very comfortable, held agreat wheel, was smooth and

predictable, took advantage of runs when she had them, hesaid. She did a really good

job.But Johnson cau-

tioned that Patricks success atDaytona isnt a sign that shell

be a contender when the circuitmoves to other types of tracks.

I think the style of race track really suits her, hesaid. When we get to the other tracks, she has a tall learningcurve ahead of her.

Johnson also hassome learning to do, as he andhis crew chief Chad Knaus pre-

pare to race NASCARs newGen-6 race cars on the flat mileat Phoenix International Race-way this week and at the 1.5-mile Las Vegas Motor Speedway the week after.

Their Daytona 500 win wont be any help there, said Knaus,who was enjoying his first Day-tona 500 win, as he was sus-

pended from NASCAR whenJohnson won in 2006.

Thats the thing thats difficultabout our sport, he said.Youve got to move on rela-tively quickly and put the goodthings and the bad things be-hind you.

He would have been impressedif saw that inside the Altima ithad a 7-inch color display, a

blind-spot warning system andeven a lane departure warningsystem. These are features thatyou typically find in cars in the$40,000-plus price range.

On the road, the new Altimacontinues to provide a sportier feel than the typical familysedan. It handles nicely yet de-livers a quiet, smooth ride.Even when driven hard, it feelscomposed and the chassis doesa great job at keeping things inorder. Steering, an issue I have

had with previous Altimas, con-tinues to be lackluster its ar-tificial and way too light andsensitive for my liking.

With the V6, the Altima isquick able to hit 60mph in

about 6 seconds. There is sometorque-steer as 270 horses is alot to send to the front wheels,

but its manageable. Fuel econ-omy is a very reasonable 22mpg in town and 31 mpg on thehighway. But most Altima own-

ers will opt for the smaller 2.5liter four-cylinder and see 27mpg in the city and 38 mpg onthe highway - very impressivefor a car that looks this good.

And when it comes to safety,its hard to top the Altima.Earning five stars in bothfrontal and side impact crash

tests and four stars in rollover tests, the Altima is one of thesafest mid-size cars you can

buy. And its nice to know thatevery Altima comes with dualfront-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags, aswell as ABS, stability and trac-tion control.

The Altimas stylish looks,family sedan qualities, and ath-letic handling characteristicsmake it hard to pass up whenyou want to buy a fun, yet prac-tical car for the family. Andwith prices starting at around$22,000 its a heck of a deal.Time to move the bar up anotch.
