Doorway to the Middle East Two and a half years after the first stirrings of the Arab Spring, Egypt is once again in the throes of a revolution. Mere days after long simmering resentments about food storages, long gas lines, and soaring unemployment fueled massive public protests against the ruling Muslim Brotherhood, the Egyptian military acted on its ultimatum to oust Pres. Mohammed Morsi, suspend the Constitution and install an interim government. Although the outcome is far from clear, renewed upheaval in the world’s most populous Arab country is bound to have enormous consequences for the broader Middle East and for U.S. interest in the region.

THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD’S SLOGAN:

‘Islam is the solution...’

As soon as they won power, the Muslim Brotherhood dispensed with its patina of moderation and its embrace of democracy. The younger generation Brotherhood acolytes who charmed Western reporters on the street soon found their testaments to Muslim Brotherhood democracy to be wishful

Rather than subsidize the Muslim Brotherhood, the United States should stand back and let them fail. American taxpayer money is not an entitlement...

Muslim Brotherhood acolytes like Mohammad Morsi, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Ismail Haniyeh always confuse democracy with majoritarianism and mob rule; it is long past time they realize that true democracy is about accountability

and rule-of-law. If the Muslim Brotherhood only focused their malevolence on their domestic audience, that would be tragic. But their incitement and the terrorism they promote make every Islamistdominated country a security risk to moderate regimes and to the democracies that value individual freedom and liberty

thinking. Even as Egypt hemorrhaged foreign reserves, Morsi preferred to enforce Islamist dictates on women, minorities, and moderate Muslims. Rather than bolster jobs, Morsi prayed for Israel’s destruction and embraced Hamas.

Throughout the region, Islamists claim to have a solution to worldly problems that secular governments do not. In every country they control, however — Iran, Turkey, Tunisia, and Egypt — it soon becomes clear their goal is power, not good governance.

above collective identity.

Rather than subsidize the Muslim Brotherhood, the United States should stand back and let them fail. American taxpayer money is not an entitlement and should never subsidize hateful or anti-American regimes. The harder they fall, the better. Let the Muslim Brotherhood be discredited in the eyes not only of Egyptians, but all Arabs and Turks and, indeed, the world. Perhaps then the region can begin its long climb to recovery. And more liberal movements can finally get the domestic attention in the Middle East they deserve.

It is far from uncommon to hear Egyptians, whose economy was brought close to bankruptcy by persistent instability, hark back to Mubarak’s era as a time when they at least earned a living.

“The Brotherhood were a problem for this country.

God has taken revenge on them,” said Haj Abdelfattah, 71, smoking his waterpipe as he sat on a plastic chair and sold overripe fruit by the road. “They acted for themselves, not Egypt.”

The town where WiFi, cell phones, TV, and radio are banned • Green Bank, West Virginia lies in the National Radio Quiet Zone where electronic transmitters are strictly regulated • Cellphones, WiFi, TV and radio are banned so satellites can gather information from space • Some have been flocking to the small town to escape what they believe to be the dangerous electronic wavelengths The town of Bomont outlawed dancing in the movie Footloose, but the kids in Green Bank, West Virginia live with much worse: no electronics.

That’s because the small town of 149 people lies in the middle of the 13,000-square mile National Radio Quiet Zone.

Scientists use this space to project satellites into space for research, and they can’t have waves from personal electronic devices interrupting their signals. That means no radio, TV, WiFi, cellphones or bluetooth.

Green Bank is home to the largest steerable radio telescope in the world — the Green Bank Telescope. It is argu-

ably the most powerful satellite observing space.

To let the telescope operate without disturbances the town has completely outlawed the use of electronic transmitting devices and a policeman actually patrols the streets looking for wireless signals.

Only first responders are allowed to use radios and there’s only one pay phone. Residents still have access to the internet, but at the glacial streaming pace dial-up offers.

Obviously that makes modern life difficult for the residents of the town, but it’s also looked at as a positive by many who began flocking here in the mid-2000s to get away from all the technology.

Many of these newer residents say that they suffer from Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS), a disease not recognized in the medical community.

People like Diane Schou believe that the waves caused by electronic objects make them sick, much like allergies, and that Green Bank is one of the only places they can live and be healthy.

‘Life isn’t perfect here,’ Schou told TOWN, cont’d. on Page 20

DRUGS & ALCOHOL:

Small decisions, BIG CONSEQUENCES If you are reading this article and have a pulse, then I guarantee that most of the decisions you make today will be minor, routine, and seemingly irrelevant. Turning left instead of right, stopping at a friend’s house unannounced, or working through lunch instead of eating, are all examples of decisions we make every day without much thought.

Just because these decisions aren’t related to alcohol or drugs or seem unimportant doesn’t mean they won’t have consequences.

In fact consequences result from every decision, past and future. For the majority of us, however, making routine decisions carries little risk. For years you arrive at a particular intersection and turn left rather than right.

Then one day you turn and suddenly get blindsided by someone blowing through a stop sign.

Bad decision making? Absolutely not. Just bad luck.

But for the minority of us who struggle with substance abuse or dependence - me included - the risk of catastrophic consequences resulting from a seemingly irrelevant decision is much greater. In this case the consequences

past your old dealer’s house when you’re trying to remain clean, that choice is no longer irrelevant or routine because you run the risk of being triggered, having cravings and eventually using. Furthermore, if you turn left, and if you stop at the dealer’s house, and if you use, and if you happen to be randomly drug tested soon after, you will undoubtedly find yourself in a heap of trouble. All starting with a simple left turn! Similarly, walking the alcohol aisle at the supermarket is not an irrelevant decision for a problem drinker.

Even NOT making a decision is a seemingly irrelevant decision that can have catastrophic consequences for anyone struggling with substance abuse. A good example of this is failing to plan in advance for transportation home from a bar. It’s the sort of poor choice we make all the time yet don’t consider it a decision at all.

Remember that the consequences of a decision are the same regardless of whether you think it through or not. For anyone struggling with substance abuse or dependence, a decision that is seemingly irrelevant at the time can lead to a disastrous chain of events. Best to think it through, weigh your options, and choose the option with the least risk. This technique will always serve you well.

Keith Angelin, MBA, CADC-II, CNDAI, is a Master’s level, board-certified alcohol & drug counselor, and nationally certified intervention specialist. Prior to entering the field of substance abuse counseling he spent two-decades as a leading marketing executive in the health and nutrition industry where he worked with numerous professional athletes and celebrities including Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Clint Eastwood and the Dallas Cowboys. A 14-year battle with drugs and alcohol included dying three times from overdose. His recovery compelled him to re-evaluate his life and share the miracle with others.

Sherry D. Strothers is a life coach and Lipstick Leader founder. She serves currently as a Chief Warrant Officer in the U.S. Navy with 27 years of active service. She is also a mother, entrepreneur, consultant, speaker, writer, strategist and is active within many leadership organizations. Sherry has one passion... the empowerment of women. She has mentored thousands of women over the years as a leader within the military. She serves to inspire, cultivate self-esteem, challenge and demonstrate her “never give up” attitude. Go to SherryStrothers.com to learn more.

Waking up before the alarm goes off; you jump out of bed and know it’s going to be a great day! To your surprise, there is no line at Starbucks and very little traffic on the roads; oh yeah… and that confirms it, this day is going to be awesome! You make it to work in record time and are sitting at your desk, reading emails, listening to Pandora and enjoying your steaming hot cup of coffee and it happens… Your supervisor walks into the office and you can tell she’s in a bad mood.

She looks at you and barks, “turn that noise down” walks into her office and slams the door. Suddenly, your optimistic view of the day is changed and you spend the rest of the day walking on eggshells and watching the clock.

Has something like this ever happened to you or better yet, have you been that boss that walks in with a bad attitude? Nothing destroys the moral of employees more than a moody, unpredictable boss. There are so many stressors in our daily lives; it’s extremely selfish to make your office a hostile work environment simply because you are in a bad mood.

Let’s face it. Life happens to all of us. So when life happens to you… leave life and the baggage that comes with it; at the door. Example, you wake up in the morning and you walk outside to a flat tire. Now you could kick the tire, use some expletives and raise your fist

to God. Or you could go in the house, call AAA and relax until the tire is changed.

The point is that when you’re having a bad day, it’s YOUR problem. So next time things aren’t going your way, take a deep sigh and ask yourself “is this the end of the world?”

Chances are that it’s not. Try sitting at your desk with your eyes closed for about 30 seconds, just listening to your breath go in and out. That will help quite your mind and allow you to think more clearly, which leads to more rational behavior and decision making.

The workspace is a place where individuals come together collectively for specific periods of times to achieve common goals. As leaders it is our responsibility to make those times as productive as possible which starts with an environment free of fear.

By Kyle Kensing New efforts to help America’s population of active duty servicemen and women, reservists and veterans are effective and have opened up rewarding career paths in a range of fields, including information technology, manufacturing and transportation.

Both U.S. government programs and private industry are heeding the call to assist those job seekers who made the ultimate commitment to country.

First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden head the Joining Forces jobs initiative, which has brought together 2,000 domestic companies with the pledge of hiring 100,000 veterans, as well as the spouses of active duty mili-

tary members, by the end of this year.

Of course, helping veterans reintegrate into the civilian workforce is a critical effort for the nation’s economy and military. The unemployment rate for veterans is over 10% among post-9/11 enlistees, which is higher than the national rate of 7.9%, according to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).

Some companies have been well ahead of the curve, such as Home Depot, which launched its military employment outreach program in 2002. “Veterans are able to rally [colleagues] to accomplish the mission,” says Eric Schelling, Home Depot’s Director of Talent Acquisition.

Many states are creating programs for veterans as well. When the Commonwealth of Virginia launched its Virginia Values Veterans jobs initiative, Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) was one of the forerunners demonstrating the importance of hiring returning military personnel.

“We know our veterans are trustworthy,” says Kevin Howell, a veterans recruiter for HII and U.S. Air Force Command Chief Master Sergeant (Ret.).

This quality makes veterans great hires, he adds.

HII received recognition from the

Virginia Department of Veterans for its employment of veterans at the company’s shipbuilding headquarters in Newport News, Va., which is in the center of the most highly concentrated population of service members in the country.

Citing “core values of integrity and safety,” Howell says teaming with the Armed Forces to fill its hiring pool is a winning tactic for HII. In turn, the company offers a wide range of career paths for veterans, including industrial production managers and ship engineers, but the qualities Howell cites also translate well to managerial positions, he says. The leadership and organizational skills developed in the military help those veterans qualify for positions that require team building and leadership, Howell explains.

When reviewing potential civilian careers for former members of the military, 10 positions rise above the rest for their ability to tap into the skills and traits developed by most veterans, as well as their availability in the job market.

ans transition their skills into the software company’s mission.

Training and Development Manager

Median Salary: $89,170. Problemsolving techniques and effective crisis management are two chief qualities the Armed Forces emphasize that are also required of training and development managers. Companies can tap veterans to prepare trainees and get them up-to-speed quickly. “We have a lot of young folks in our company,” Howell says. “Veterans bring…attitudes of leadership and work ethic to help others along [in learning the job].”

Industrial Production Manager

Median Salary: $87,160. A renewed emphasis on manufacturing jobs as a part of the nation’s economic recovery overlaps with the mission of most veteran outreach and re-employment programs. For example, last fall some of the nation’s top manufacturing companies launched the Get Skills to Work Coalition, designed specifically to ready veterans for jobs in industrial production.

Construction Program Manager

Median Salary: $83,860. An improvement in construction prospects around the nation coincides with increased demand for veteran hiring. The construction industry has been near the forefront of that push, recruiting construction program managers from such sources as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Ship Engineer

Median Salary: $79,920. Working with a company like HII is attractive for veterans, says Kevin Howell, because its contractual relationship with the U.S. Navy for ship production gives veterans the opportunity to continue working with Armed Forces. “The nature of our work [assisting in ship production] gives veterans the ability for them to continue to serve,” Howell said.

Administrative Services Manager

Median Salary: $77,890. Team building and oversight qualities required from an administrative services manager make this career a natural fit for veterans. In a solutions-providing atmosphere such as retailing, military personnel bring unparalleled insight, says Eric Schelling at Home Depot.

Telecommunications Equipment Installer and Repairer

Median Salary: $54,710. Each branch of the military deals with the most sophisticated telecommunications equipment in the world. The technicians charged with installing and maintaining this equipment enter the workforce with unparalleled insight and applied knowledge which typically exceeds the skills offered by recent college graduates who lack this real-world experience.

Baby Boomers May Avoid Knee Surgery With Modern Arthritis Treatments Doctors say these two factors are the keys to knee arthritis treatment success and relieving pain without surgery

The key to avoiding knee replacement San Diego County - Everyone has surgery is doing the correct treatments as soon as possible.” said it at one time or another. If I had only known about “this” sooner - things What is the “Correct Treatment?” would be very different today.

“That depends, there is no one That’s what many knee arthritis pain sufferers are saying about this technol- answer when it comes to medical conditions and knee arthritis is no different. ogy and treatment.

“We all know that countless lives That’s why, if you have knee pain, you are being saved every year because of should have it evaluated by a doctor early detection and better treatment of who deals with and treats knee pain cancer,” one of the physicians at Osteo every day,” stated the clinics director of services.

I believe we are having so much success at Osteo Relief plementation. In this treatment, a preparation of Hyaluronic acid (such Institute because of two factors: One is we are using advanced medical tech- as Hyalgan) is injected directly into the nology and treatments a lot of clinics knee joint.

sufferers. This is similar to running your car low or without oil. Obviously, the sooner you put oil back in the car - the less damage will be done. That’s why some doctors feel early viscosupplementation gets the best results and is so important for avoiding surgery.

And the Doctors believe one of the most important factors for the success of viscosupplementation is making sure you are getting it into the joint space.

That’s why the doctors at Osteo Relief Institute use advanced imaging technology called a “C-Arm.” A C-Arm allows the doctor to see into the joint and actually watch the injection go where it is supposed to. Research shows that performing injections without digital imaging can result in missing the joint space as much as 30% of the time. If you had viscosupplementation treatments without advanced imagining and did not get good results - this may be why.

Can This Be Avoided? Total knee replacement is serious surgery requiring months of rehabilitation. Some doctors think modern treatments done early enough can keep baby boomers from going under the knife.

“If you have knee arthritis pain, viscosupplementation might be the answer you are looking for. The keys are to not wait, get a good evaluation from an expert and make sure advanced digital imaging (CArm) is used to make sure you have the best chance for success.” was the advice of the doctors at the Osteo Relief Institute.

Free Knee Pain Screenings Offered To Help Determine If San Diego Area Residents Qualify For Popular Treatment

San Diego area knee pain sufferers have limited time to claim knee pain screening to see if all-natural knee arthritis treatment might work for them If you qualify for this treatment, it might be one of the happiest days of your life.

That’s because, for the past year and a half, hundreds of knee pain sufferers have flocked to Osteo Relief Institute located in San Diego, California.

That’s when their specially trained doctors added viscosupplementation treatments to their already successful and comprehensive knee pain relief program.

Viscosupplementation is unique because - even though it is manufactured by a pharmaceutical company, it is NOT considered a drug because it is a natural substance with an incredible story.

Why So Many Want It You see, when you suffer with arthritis - the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in your knee joint dries up.

This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other.

This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating.

Like “Joint Oil” Viscosupplementation works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance that contains one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee.

Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb -

that big red thing on top of the rooster’s head. It is extracted from the rooster’s comb, purified and concentrated.

When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge.

Viscosupplementation allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain.

Can Supplements Do The Same Thing?

No. Glucosamine and chondroitin and other supplements are much different. You can only get this from a doctor and it often helps knee pain sufferers who got limited or no success from glucosamine and chondroitin. Beware of unsubstantiated claims made by supplements that claim to do what this advanced medical procedure does.

Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results...

“We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose videofluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyaglan exactly where it needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up

to 30% of the time.” said the head of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute.

Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology.

And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most pain relief and the best possible results from treatment.

“Every case is individual. Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time.

But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see.

They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one doctor.

How To Get It If you have knee pain, the doctors would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for viscosupplementation treatments and the P.A.C.E program.

All you have to do is call 619-3774456 right now and when the scheduling specialist answers the phone tell her you would like your risk free “Knee Pain Screening.” The specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can only accept a

Advanced Medical Technology Can Make All The Difference: This advanced digital imaging called a C-arm allows doctors to see directly into the knee joint so treatments are precise and the Hyalgan actually goes where it is supposed to. Studies show that injections done without digital imaging can miss the joint up to 30% of the time. This is one reason Hyalgan or other Viscosupplementation may not have worked for you. Osteo Relief Institute uses this C-arm for every Hyalgan treatment.

limited amount of new patients each month for this screening - so if you are interested please call now. Your risk free screening will only take about 25-30 minutes... you will get all your questions answered and leave knowing if you have possibly found the solution to your knee pain.

And here’s something really important - Viscosupplementation treatments and the P.A.C.E program are covered by most insurance and Medicare. To schedule your screening today call 619-377-4456.

If You Can Answer Yes - You Are Eligible For A Knee Arthritis Screening With The Experts At Osteo Relief Institute Do you have pain and osteoarthritis (arthritis) of the knee?

Have you tried other treatments such as NSAIDS and other antiinflammatory medications without success?

Have you already tried viscosupplementation (Hyalgan, Suparz, Synvisc) without satisfactory results?

Everyone Wants Proof: In the artist simulated drawings above, picture #1 is a normal, pain-free knee.

There is no arthritis and the knee can move and bend freely without pain.

Pain - the red is a knee joint with painful osteoarthritis. Arthritis causes the joint space to decrease, grinding, stiffness, decreased motion, bone spurs, swelling and a lot of pain.

For advertising information, call (858) 537-2280

Successful Treatment - Viscosupplementation (blue) being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using Hologic digital imaging. Advanced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. This cushioning can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.

Failed Treatment - the injection (and cushioning and lubricating material) misses the joint space. Research shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of Hologic digital imaging to guide the injection. This is why other treatments may not have worked for you.

If you answered yes to any of these questions - give Osteo Relief Institute a call and schedule your risk free knee pain screening 619-377-4456

Benefits after separating from the military

By Ryan Guina, TheMilitaryWallet.com The most important thing to consider when separating from the military is ensuring your immediate needs are taken care of. This includes making sure you have some cash coming in to cover your bills, a roof over your head, and health care coverage for you and your family. Unfortunately, you can only take your military health care benefits with you in limited circumstances, which we will cover in this article. If you don’t meet the limited qualifications for taking your TRICARE benefits with you, then you will be required to find your own health care. We will cover a few other options for finding affordable health care coverage in this article. These tips can help you find the best places to get medical benefits to make sure your family is covered.

Health care insurance after separating from the military

With only a few exceptions, military health care benefits cease for you and your family the day you leave the military. Some exceptions include retirees, those who qualify for Transitional Assistance Management Program (TAMP), and some veterans with service connected disability ratings.

In the first two examples, your family will also continue to be covered by the

military health care system. Those who qualify for VA medical care will no longer receive care directly from the military (the VA will take over), and family members will not be eligible for benefits.

Retiree medical care: If you are an active duty retiree, you should continue to be eligible for TRICARE benefits.

These benefits differ slightly from active duty benefits, as you will have to enroll and pay a small annual fee for family members, but they are close enough in scope that the transition should be relatively painless compared to seeking out your own insurance.

Non-retirees: If you are not a retiree, your options are different. We will cover some options for you below.

Transitional Assistance Management Program (TAMP)

The Transitional Assistance Man-

agement Program (TAMP) is a short term health care program which will give you and your family an additional 180 days of health care coverage after you separate from the military. The benefits are the same as active duty health care, and if you qualify, you and your family will receive DoD issued ID cards for access to health care on base.

TAMP is designed for military members and their families who are required to make a quick, and sometimes unexpected, exit from military service.

Eligibility for TAMP depends on 2 factors: the reason you are separating form the military, and you must have an honorable discharge. Some qualifying reasons for separation include involuntary separation, stop-loss in support of a contingency operation, voluntary agreement to stay on active duty for less than one year in support of a contingency operation, receiving a sole survivorship discharge, and a few other select circumstances.

If you are eligible for TAMP, it should show up in your DEERS profile, and it is recommended you apply for these

benefits before you separate from the military. This will give you 6 additional months of active duty health care coverage, which will hopefully be enough time to find a civilian health care plan, or transition to the Continued Health Care Benefit Program (CHCBP), which is covered below.

If you do not qualify for TAMP, you and your family members may still be eligible for Continued Health Care Benefit Program (CHCBP) or some of the other health care options listed in this article.

Continued Health Care Benefit Program (CHCBP)

In the civilian world, companies offer their employees COBRA Health Insurance Coverage, which allows their employees to take their group health insurance with them when they leave their company. The only catch is the former employee is required to pay for the entire cost of the plan (i.e. it is no longer subsidized by their former employer). COBRA benefits are usually good for 18 months.

The military doesn’t have an exact COBRA program, but they offer something very similar with the Continued Health Care Benefit Program

Famous people and their phobias

By Miss Cellania Netorama.com Okay, let’s level with each other. Is there anyone out there reading this who isn’t afraid of something? Come on, I know it’s hard for some of us to be open about stuff like this, but you can be honest. You’d have to think that with all the varied and unique experiences each of us has had in our respective lives, some fears have developed.

Well, don’t feel bad about it. I would think having a phobia or two (or three or whatever) is pretty much inevitable.

These fears are nothing to laugh at or ridicule. On the contrary, they are pretty much a part of “the human experience.”

Let’s take a look at some major fears, dislikes, and full-out phobias of some well-known people.

Gustave Eiffel, the designer of the famed Eiffel Tower, was terrified of heights.

LSD advocate and guru Timothy Leary was deathly afraid of barbers. He started cutting his own hair at the age of nine. He even refused to enter a barber shop.

Megan Fox hates paper. Megan says it’s not a full phobia, it’s more like the people who get chills from fingernails

scratching on a blackboard. Megan says she has to have a paper cup around to immediately wet her fingers to turn the pag-

es if she is reading a script or a book.

She hates dry paper.

where near a revolving door. He’s also afraid of tunnels. He’s not scared of being in a tunnel, but he is scared of the point where you have to enter a tunnel.

Johnny Depp is terrified of clowns.

Says Johnny, “There’s something about the painted face, the fake smile. There always seems to be a darkness lurking under the surface, a potential for real evil.”

Nicole Kidman is afraid of butterflies. Once, bravely, she tried walking through a butterfly exhibit at a museum, but couldn’t make it. As a young girl, Nicole wouldn’t even enter her home if a butterfly was sitting on the entrance gate.

Christina Ricci can’t stand to be around houseplants. She is also deathly afraid of being in a swimming pool alone. She always imagines “a magic door is going to open and a shark is going to come out.”

Billy Bob Thornton is deathly afraid of antique furniture. He is not comfortable being in a room with any furniture that goes back before 1850. (It must have been hard to film The Alamo. Almost as tough as it was to watch that movie!)

Roger Moore (James Bond) — yes, agent 007 himself cannot pick up a gun without uncontrollably blinking.

Alfred Hitchcock was terrified of eggs. The director of Psycho just hated eggs, especially runny ones (who doesn’t?).

Yes, irony of ironies, Walt Disney, who gave the world Mickey Mouse, was indeed, afraid of mice.

Composer Fredric Chopin and storyteller Hans Christian Andersen were both very scared of being buried alive.

Andersen always kept a sign around whenever he slept, which said he wasn’t really dead, he just looked that way, and that he really was sleeping.

Stage fright? Some of the greatest actors and performers in history have been stricken with this phobia, including Marilyn Monroe, Barbra Streisand, Gracie Allen, and even Sir Lawrence Olivier. It is actually a tribute to these great talents that they were able to give such incredible performances under the circumstances.

Fear of water is Michael Jordan’s Achille’s heel. A childhood friend of his

Navy claims a win over synthetic drug use

The number of positive results for synthetic drug in urinalysis tests has decreased significantly since testing began in March 2012, according to data presented to Navy leaders by the Navy Alcohol and Drug Prevention (NADAP) office.

For the past year, the NADAP office has focused on educating Silors on the risks to their health, career, and family, of using synthetic drugs like spice and bath salts.

There is also encouraging news in the responsible use of alcohol efforts.

“During the past year, driving under the influence and alcohol-related incidents (AI) have continued to drop. The number of these incidents is down by more than 20 percent since 2006,” said Dorice Favorite, NADAP director. The NADAP office contributes to this improvement through a compre-

Overhaul of Military Retirement Proposed

A recent article by Military Officers Association of America’s Director of Government Relations, Mike Hayden, explains how some former Pentagon leaders and “think tank experts” have called for a complete retirement overhaul criticizing the 20-year retirement as either unaffordable or unfair to those who leave before that point, or both. Their points have gotten traction as a new commission -- established as a result of provisions in the FY 2013 National Defense Authorization Act and tasked with reviewing and perhaps overhauling military compensation and retirement benefits -- began its work in July.

The Department of Defense (DoD) will reduce the number of TRICARE Prime service areas in the United States beginning Oct. 1, affecting about 171,000 retirees and their family members. Those beneficiaries affected received a letter earlier this year explaining their options. Current details on Prime service areas and the option for beneficiaries to sign for email updates are available at TRICARE’s Changing to Prime Service Areas webpage at http://www.tricare.mil/PSA. A ZIP code tool is available on the site to help beneficiaries determine if they live in an affected area. As always, TRICARE beneficiaries are still covered by TRICARE Standard.

More on VA Claims Processing

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has announced that veterans filing an original fully developed claim for service-connected disability compensation may be entitled to up to oneyear of retroactive disability benefits.

This is only for veterans who are submitting their very first compensation claim as an FDC. The retroactive benefits are in effect Aug. 6, 2013, through Aug. 5, 2015. FDCs can be filed digitally through the joint, DOD-VA online portal, eBenefits.va.gov. VA encourages veterans who cannot file online to work with an accredited veterans service organization that can file claims digitally on veterans’ behalf.

DoD gears up to issue ID cards to same-sex spouses

DoD facilities are gearing up to issue identification cards to same-sex spouses beginning Sept. 3, according to Pentagon officials.

“All spousal and family benefits, including ID ads, will be made available as of Sept. 3, 2013,” said Navy Lt. Cmdr.

Nate Christensen.

“The department will make the same benefits available to all military spouses, regardless of sexual orientation, as long as service member-sponsors provide a valid marriage certificate from a jurisdiction -- including those overseas -- that recognizes samesex marriage,” Christensen said.

Entitlements such as basic allowance for housing and family separation allowance are retroactive to the date of the Supreme Court’s decision -- June 26, 2013. For service members married after that date, the entitlements will be paid from the date of the marriage.

TRICARE -- the military health care program -- is tied to the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System.

TRICARE will be available to same-sex spouses beginning Sept. 3, 2013.

There are 15 countries that recognize same-sex marriage. In the United States, 13 states and the District of Columbia recognize same-sex marriages.

Many U.S. service members live in jurisdictions that do not recognize same-sex marriages. As operational requirements permit, commanders may allow military personnel in same-sex relationships up to 10 days of nonchargeable leave for the purpose of travelling to a jurisdiction that allows same-sex couples to be married if they are stationed more than 100 miles from one of those areas.

“Personnel stationed within the continental United States may receive

up to seven days non-chargeable leave and those stationed at overseas assignments may receive up to 10 days nonchargeable leave,” Christensen said.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced his department’s pledge to hire 5,000 service people and family members to jobs in the rail industry. A healthy compensation package makes train engineer and operator an attractive option for veterans pursuing this path, and experience gained with heavy machinery while in service gives the most qualified personnel a leg up in qualifying for the role.

Many U.S. trucking companies are facing skills gaps, which makes filling vital positions increasingly difficult.

Q: Why is shifting responsibility to someone else called ‘passing the buck’?

A: In card games, it was once customary to pass an item, called a buck, from player to player to indicate whose turn it was to deal. If a player did not wish to assume the responsibility of dealing, he would ‘pass the buck’ to the next player.

Aaron Rodgers soon to become highest-paid NFL QB Aaron Rodgers soon to become NFL’s highest-paid quarterback It won’t be too long before Aaron Rodgers becomes the highest-paid player in NFL history. It could be a week or two. Perhaps a month or two.

But given the ongoing negotiations between the star quarterback and the Packers, the progress to this point and the accepted reality between the sides that Rodgers is going to eclipse in most every way the recent record contract signed by Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, it’s only a matter of time before he becomes the league’s first $25-million a year man, or damn close to it.

It will happen this offseason and after the rumblings I’ve heard the last few weeks, including the league meetings in Arizona last week, I would not be surprised if a deal was struck before the draft. Green Bay also has to figure out a way to extend Clay Matthews, who could be in line to become the highest-paid defensive player in league history, as well as defensive tackle B.J. Raji, who will require an extension as well (interestingly enough, all three players are represented by Athlete’s First, the mega-agency run by David Dunn).

The small-market Packers need to figure out their budget and cap situation for the coming seasons. Always needing to prepare ahead of time, and with record-setting contracts ahead, the sooner that picture clears up the better. And, just as eagerly, other teams and agents are waiting to see exactly how much coin Rodgers gets, because his deal will have an immediate trickle-down impact on a group of other young quarterbacks seeking extensions of their own, most notably Atlanta starter Matt Ryan.

CHARGERS REPORT

By Art Garcia Jr. If you read any of the NFL preview magazines, listen to sports talk radio or watch any of the sports stations on television there is one common prediction for the Chargers: third-place in the AFC West.

The big concern among the pundits is the lack of talent and depth up and down the roster. Every team in the NFL loses players for the season but it seems the injury bug targeted the Chargers for failing to take advantage of their talented teams that dominated the division from 2004-2009.

With Eddie Royal (bruised lung and concussion) joining fellow receiver Malcom Floyd (strained knee) as the walking wounded on the sideline and rookie fifth-round cornerback Steve Williams out for the season with a torn pectoral muscle, GM Tom Telesco and his staff have their work cut out for them.

As with every NFL franchise, the Chargers will be scanning the waiver wire over the next couple of weeks hoping to sign a player(s) who will undoubtedly get caught up in the numbers game and get cut from another team.

Starting off 0-2 in the preseason isn’t necessarily a prelude for the

season, however, there is no doubt this team is going to be a team of flux where players will be signed and released throughout the season –

Injuries and lack of depth taking its toll as the Colts did last year – depending on what the coaching staff needs.

As Vice President of Football Operations for the Indianapolis Colts last season,

Telesco played a major role in turning around a last place 2-14 team (2011) into an 11-5 team that played in the AFC

Wild Card Playoffs (2012). In the span of one year, he had a hand in revamping a roster that featured 36 new players from the end of 2011 – 19 of whom were signed during the regular season.

“From day one, when Tom (Telesco) and I got here, we’re going to do whatever we can to help the football team out, regardless of where the players are coming from,” McCoy stated in a press conference following Royal’s injury. “The next two weeks become the – I hate to say – bad part of the business…

“It’s all part of the business. It’s not something I’m looking forward to but we’ve got to find the best 53 guys. Tom and I said, ‘Regardless of how you get them, you’ve got to find them.’ That’s

Five questions with veteran OG Chad Rhinehart

AG: With the starters having played just a handful of series during the first two preseason games, how do you feel the offensive line has performed so far?

CR: I think we look inconsistent, to put it frankly. Sometimes we look really good and sometimes we look terrible like this last game (Bears) we give up three sacks in one quarter. We just need to improve and be consistent every play.

We need to be stickler with details on every play and having good technique on every play. I feel like when we play up to our capabilities we’re definitely doing well but it seems like on every play there’s one guy that’s a little off and you can’t have that on the offensive line (to be successful) – you need all five guys going together.

AG: You are entering your 6th season in the NFL, what do you feel you bring to the Chargers as one of the unrestricted free agents they signed over the offseason?

CR: I’d like to say that I play smart, tough and physical – so I try to bring that. In the run game – getting on guys and getting movement in the trenches and in the pass game getting consistency with my sets and just being there every play for the guys.

AG: I know that consistency is one of the keys for success along the offensive line. With Nick (Hardwick) being the only returning starter at the same position, how is the communication between you, Nick and Jeromey (Clary) going so far?

CR: There’s definitely good communication there. Fortunately here, Nick is always prepared for the games and he gets the calls out. I’ve been in places where the guards do a little more communicating, but here Nick gives the call and I base my calls on what he says and he’s just the leader out there with everything.

AG: Do you feel that gives you an advantage with one guy making the calls or do you prefer the other way where the guards have more input in the line calls?

CR: In a way it’s easier because

Although most football fans find preseason games boring to watch, now is not the time to change the channel.

Chargers fans will finally get a long look at how this team performs in a game-time setting because the third preseason game is usually when both teams leave their frontline players in the game longer in order to get them ready for the start of the regular season.

With many roster spots yet to be decided, you can bet the players considered ‘on the fence’ will be going 110-percent to impress not only the Chargers staff, but those other 31 football staffs looking finalize their rosters.

So before you change the channel, remember two former studs who shined during the fourth quarters of the 1994 preseason -- #37 Rodney Harrison and #83 Andre Coleman – two rookies who turned out to be all-time greats in Chargers history.

you have to know who’s in charge that way I’m not giving a call and Nick’s giving a different call.

You just need someone to set the call and base everything off of that – so really either way I’m comfortable with it. It’s just knowing which way you need to go so you don’t have any miscommunication.

AG: Earlier you said you said the O-Line looks inconsistent after two games, how important is this third preseason game for you guys up front?

CR: Yeah, this first game we played one series and this last game against the Bears I think we played five or six series but a couple of them weren’t very long. We need to have the mindset of playing the whole game, I think that’s where you want (the starters) to play the most. So I think we need to take it as a regular season game and be consistent with our play and be satisfied at the end.

One irony? The fact that Chrysler markets the 300 as a “Motown” or “Imported from Detroit” vehicle when it’s actually constructed in Canada — which is right across the river from Motown so no real harm done.
