Celebrating

Armed Forces Day

Many Americans celebrate Armed Forces Day annually on the third Saturday of May. It is a day to pay tribute to men and women who serve the United States’ armed forces. Armed Forces Day is also part of Armed Forces Week, which begins on the second Saturday of May.

Certain types of music are also played at Armed Forces Day events, including at memorials and at cemeteries, as a way to respect those in the armed forces who died for their country.

continued on next page>>>>

What do people do?

Many events across the United States take place on Armed Forces Day to honor Americans in uniform who served their country in times of war and peace. Those who are honored on this day include people who serve the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard. National Guard and Reserve units may celebrate Armed Forces Day/Week over any period in May because of their unique training schedules. Events and activities may include: • Multi-service military displays in areas open for the public. • Various educational activities that teach children about the armed forces. • “Support the Troops” themed motorcycle rides. • Large parades and other local celebrations.

Armed Forces Day 2014 Events

Operation Appreciation, May 17, Oceanside ARMED FORCES DAY Cont’d. from Page 3

For example, buglers have played a bugle call, known simply as Taps, on Armed Forces Day in recent years. Taps is usually sounded by the United States military at events such as flag ceremonies, memorial services and funerals.

Background

On August 31, 1949, Louis Johnson, who was the United States’ Secretary of Defense, announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy and Air Force Days. The event stemmed from the armed forces’ unification under one department – the Department of Defense. The Army, Navy and Air Force leagues adopted the newly formed day. The Marine Corps League declined to drop support for Marine Corps Day but supports Armed Forces Day too. The first Armed Forces Day was celebrated on Saturday, May 20, 1950. The theme for that day was “Teamed for Defense,” which expressed the unification of all military forces under one government department. According to

On Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 17, 2014, the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce will bring the business community and area residents together to provide a day of recognition to all active-duty military stationed on Marine Corps Base Camp Joseph H. Pendleton and nearby military bases. Thousands of active duty military and their family members are treated to a day of free food, carnival rides and entertainment at the Oceanside Pier Amphitheatre. The fun begins at 11:00 a.m. and last until 4:00 p.m. The day consists of a host of activities: including a great children’s fun zone with carnival rides, inflatable jumps, rock climbing wall, kid’s crafts and face painting. The children’s area will also have characters like Baby Shamu and the Padres Pad Squad for kids to meet and take pictures.

May is

National Military Appreciation Month

By Gene Harper, American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON — Both chambers of the U.S. Congress have adopted a resolution calling for Americans to recognize and honor U.S. service members during May’s National Military Appreciation Month. Virginia Rep. Tom Davis, along with 16 cosponsors, introduced Concurrent Resolution No. 328 in the House in November. The Senate agreed to it without amendment and by unanimous consent April 26. The resolution states that the House, with the Senate concurring, “supports the goals and objectives of a National Military Appreciation Month.” It also “urges the president to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States, localities, organizations and media to annually observe” the month “with appropriate ceremonies and activities. Finally, the resolution urges the White House Commission on Remembrance to “work to support the goals and objectives” of the month. The Senate first passed a resolution in 1999 designating National Military Appreciation Month. That declaration summoned U.S. citizens to observe the month “in a symbol of unity, … to honor the current and former members of the armed forces, including those who have died in the pursuit of freedom and peace.” Traditionally, May has focused on

the military in many ways. For example, Public Service Recognition Week, celebrated the first full Monday through Sunday in May since 1985, recognizes the roles of public servants, including the military, at local, state, regional and federal levels. As a part of PSRW, communities across America showcase military equipment and service members from U.S. installations. The largest PSRW event takes place on Washington’s National Mall, where more than 100 federal agencies, including the military services, put their activities, people and equipment on public display. Armed Forces Day, created in 1949, is an annual event held on the third Saturday in May, with activities at U.S. military bases around the world. This year’s celebration occurs May 17. The month culminates with Memorial Day, a federal holiday on the last Monday in May. The day, dating from the Civil War era, traditionally has marked recognition of those who have died in service to the nation. Each year on Memorial Day, the White House Commission on Remembrance promotes one minute of silence at 3 p.m. local time to honor the military’s fallen comrades and to pay tribute to the sacrifices by the nation’s service members and veterans.

Observing

Memorial Day Memorial Day, an American holiday observed on the last Monday of May, honors men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, at least, it marks the beginning of summer.

Early observances of Memorial Day

The Civil War claimed more lives than any conflict in U.S. history, requiring the establishment of the country’s first national cemeteries. By the late 1860s Americans in various towns and cities had begun holding springtime tributes to these countless fallen soldiers, decorating their graves with flowers and reciting prayers. It is unclear where exactly this tradition originated; numerous different communities may have independently initiated the memorial gatherings. Nevertheless, in 1966 the federal government declared Waterloo, New York, the official birthplace of Memo-

rial Day. Waterloo—which had first celebrated the day on May 5, 1866—was chosen because it hosted an annual, community-wide event, during which businesses closed and residents decorated the graves of soldiers with flowers and flags.

Decoration Day

On May 5, 1862, General John A. Logan, leader of an organization for Northern Civil War veterans, called for a nationwide day of remembrance later that month. “The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land,” he proclaimed. The date of Decoration Day, as he called it, was chosen because it wasn’t the anniversary of any particular battle. On the first Decoration Day, General James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, and 5,000 participants decorated the graves of the 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers buried there. Many Northern states held similar commemorative MEMORIAL DAY, cont’d. on Page 30

Commentary

Mountains out of mole hills By Richard Matz Publisher If you’re a politician, a pretend preacher, or an organization with an agenda to make the general public take their eye off the ball and make an old, rich, ignorant white guy a mountain out of a mole hill, you’ve accomplished your mission! I’m referring to the NBA Clippers owner Donald Sterling. I can’t possibly believe that he’s more important than jobs for all Americans, health insurance, illegal immigration, poverty, IRS scandal, Benghazi cover-up and the ever-expanding National Debt (which all U.S. citizens, their children and grandchildren are burdened with). What the media finds entertaining is a damn shame and an injustice to our intelligence. I’m a basketball junkie and a fan since my L.A. Times tenure back in the ’60s.

your fellow workers, your boss, race, gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals, transvestites or any controversial matter? If we’re going to be completely honest, every one of us has made remarks that we would never want to be taped or repeated to the offended person or party. It is also against the law to tape any conversation without revealing beforehand that the conversation is being taped. Even in criminal cases, permission has to be granted by a judge.

3 reasons you’re not losing weight So… you’ve been working out reguarly, making smart nutritional choices that focus on your goals, increasing water intake, and you’ve even found ways to sneak in more steps throughout the work day – and yet, the scale is not showing you any change. This is enough to drive anyone into frustration. Frustration leads to binge eating or even meal skipping then finally wanting to give up. But before you throw in the towel, let’s take a look at 3 major areas that could be sabotaging your weight loss efforts.

1. Sleep

Getting your beauty sleep is more important than you probably thought! Of course, just because you start sleeping more doesn’t mean you’ll automatically start losing weight. But, you might be surprised to find out that lack of sleep, or poor quality sleep, could be disrupting your weight loss efforts.

From the obvious (when you’re tired you may mindlessly grub) to the not so obvious (excess cortisol and increased insulin), sleep is as important to monitor as your calories and your activity. There are two pesky little hormones that lead to unhealthy snacking when you’re not getting enough sleep: grehlin and leptin. When you’re sleep deprived, you produce more grehlin which is the ‘go’ hormone - the one that tells you you’re hungry. So, you eat more. Then, there’s leptin, the “stop” hormone, which is affected in exactly the opposite way from lack of sleep. There is less leptin being produced so the “I’m hungry” switch doesn’t come on quite so quickly. So, you don’t stop. Makes sense of why you might be eating more when you’re tired. Lack of sleep has also been linked to an increase in blood sugars, causing a spike in insulin. Too much insulin pro-

motes the storage of body fat. Of course, it’s good to note that sleeping more doesn’t automatically fix anything. In other words, if you start sleeping 10 hours a day, you’re not going to end up dropping 10lbs in a month! But, you may notice some changes if you’re able to get the average daily recommended sleep (7.5 hrs for adults). I understand more than anyone that everyone is swamped in life and beauty sleep is a luxury but we all have the same 24 hours, its all about time planning.

time, our bodies become more efficient at that movement, resulting in burning fewer calories. Try varying the volume and intensity of your exercises, incorporate cross training, and try something new.

3. Stress Take a deep breath! No really, relax, even if it is for two minutes. When you experience a stressful situation, your body produces the hormone, cortisol, which is a good thing if the threat is life or death because it provides a rush of energy and strength! We all deal with varying levels of stress from day to day, but the way we deal with it (or don’t deal with it) can lead to excess cortisol in your system that is not necessary. With prolonged stress, your body never “winds down,” causing a chronic increase in

cortisol. Too much cortisol can suppress the thyroid, lower your immune response, and imbalance your blood sugar in the short term. More importantly, over time, excess cortisol can lead to loss of muscle mass, chronically increased blood sugar, which can become a precursor to Type 2 diabetes, and increased body fat (especially around the belly). Chronic stress is also linked to depression that can lead to a higher consumption of food. One recent study found that obese people had a 55% increased risk of developing depression over time. As you’re probably gathering, none of this sounds good for someone on a weight loss journey. Pay just as much attention to how you “cope” with the stressors in your life and minimize (or get rid of) those that you can.

Before you ditch your weight loss journey due to perceived “lack of results,” remember that getting fitter may not register on the scale right away. If you’re still not satisfied with the numbers you’re seeing, take a look at the three areas listed above and see if some subtle shifts in sleep, stress, and predictability might give you the jumpstart you need. www.MilitaryPress.com • editorsdesk@militarypress.com

A Family Calendar helps to:

• Let the whole family know about important events • Keep track of busy schedules • Allow family members to quickly locate other family members • Achieve goals, such as cleaning the garage or enjoying a weekly family movie night When placed in a common space, such as the kitchen, all family members are able to pass by the calendar and be reminded of upcoming events. Your family can use the calendar to schedule family meetings and family outings, and to track family goals. The calendar also allows parents and children to schedule their own important events—like parent date night or friend play-dates. In addition, a family calendar can help teach children about organization, cooperation, advance planning, and communication. Children also learn that their plans and wishes matter.

How to create a Family Calendar:

A Family Calendar should be big enough to include the entire family’s schedule. The best option is a big desk calendar from an office store. Use stickers and markers to highlight special events like birthdays, holidays, homecomings, and other important family dates. Making a family calendar is just one fun activity that can help children feel at ease during a transition time. For more ideas on ways to support children during transitions (such as deployment) check out our website at www. focusproject.org. Notes: Deployments and homecomings are important dates to put on the Family Calendar, but keep in mind that those plans and dates can change, often at the last minute. Be sure to have a family discussion with your children about these possible changes. You can talk about the various schedule options that might exist around deployments

Congress wants more control over ‘Iron Man’ suit

By Matt Cox defensetech.org Lawmakers have moved to tighten congressional control over U.S. Special Operations Command’s new “Iron Man” battle suit, expressing concerns that program officials are already mishandling the complex effort. SOCOM recently launched a new website to promote its vision of elite commandos outfitted in futuristic, battle suits like those depicted in Hollywood blockbusters such Iron Man. The Tactical Assault Light Operators Suit effort, known as TALOS, would provide operators with full-body ballistic protection and increased physical performance. It would also feature embedded antennas and computers designed to give operators increased situation awareness. It’s even supposed to keep the wearer cool in hot weather and warm in cold climates. Despite “aggressive marketing efforts by USSOCOM,” members of the House Armed Services Committee want to know more about the program

before funding is approved. “The committee understands that present efforts are being used to survey current technologies and to better inform future requirements documents, and that USSOCOM intends to deliver a fully functional prototype assault suit by August 2018,” according to language in the Fiscal 2015 National Defense Authorization Bill released by the Subcommittee on Intelligence, Emerging Threats and Capabilities. “The committee is concerned that these requirements are not being properly coordinated with related or complementary efforts at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Command.” The bill’s language includes guidelines to go with SOCOM’S $17.5 million budget request to support TALOS.

It’s time for Kids Across America Father’s Day Festival & Walk

Mother’s Day has come and gone. We are now approaching Father’s Day. We know how important mothers are to the family, but women, especially military wives, see how essential the link is for dads with their children. No one knows more than you what a tremendous sacrifice it is for dads to willingly leave their families to preserve our way of life and serve this great country. We experience every day the events that surround our lives that our dads and partners miss while on deployment in other parts of the world. A short email or conversation online does little to fulfill the need for more time, more conversations, more special events to share with those we love who are so far away. Those impromptu moments most people take for granted are never enough with loved ones far away, even though we try to recreate the moment during the brief window of time they have to spend with their families online. Even when dads are home, there is always the thought of the next assignment or the next deployment that foreshadows more time apart. We salute the strength of our military families. We salute the men on Father’s Day weekend! We want this to be a time of commemoration to our heroes, present and past. It’s our chance

to remind them we love you for all you do! Many of our fathers have served this country. Whether they are with us or not, they are still alive in the hearts and minds of those who are here today. Let’s join together to remember and celebrate Father’s Day together. The Kids of America is hosting a Father’s Day Festival and Prostate Cancer Screening and Awareness Walk on June 14th, 2014, with Sears and the San Diego Classic Lions Club at the University Towne Center Mall at 4575 La Jolla Village Drive. The Walk route will take participants from Sears to the new National Cemetery at Miramar for a short ceremony where we will lay flowers on the markers of the men who served our country. We want their families to know we appreciate them and they have not been forgotten. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind only lung cancer. It is critical that the screening is provided to our military. Help keep our fathers healthy. The key, as in every cancer case, is early detection and treatment. Prevention starts with awareness. The Kids of America is a non-profit organization that teaches environmental responsibility, preservation of our

THE EDGE: teaching and keeping it

Story and photos by Douglas Aguillard While nothing can match actual aerial combat, or even just normal flight time for a Marine fighter pilot, modern technology can lend a helping hand in keeping these Marines trained and ready for any combat mission that is handed to them. This reporter was given the rare opportunity to see this training at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar, located just north of downtown San Diego. I was escorted by 1st Lt. S. Murdock (USMC) of the Public Affairs Office to the building housing the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing’s Aviation Training System, or simply called the “Simulators.” There are flight simulators here both for the Boeing/MD F/A-18 “Hornet” and the Lockheed C-130 “Hercules.” They are computer controlled and feature animated moving video on large video screens surrounding the pilot. In this “video game,” you’re sitting in a real cockpit of the subject plane; nothing like what you’d find on your home computer. Another big difference from your home computer is that the computer programs for the simulators are stored on over 20 industrial computer servers that seemed to take up over half the room where the F/A-18 simulator sat. After entering and signing into this secured building, we were met by Ma-

jor Tavernier (USMC) of Valparaiso, Indiana. He is a large man with a big smile, and as I shook his hand, it felt like a vise grip. I liked him immediately. Tavernier has been in the Marine Corps for just over 11 years. His official position at this moment is the Marine Aviation Training Support Squadron (MATSS) F/A-18 Training and Standardization Officer. Before being assigned to his current command, he had flown with various F/A-18 squadrons such as VMFA(AW)-121 “The Green Knights” and while they were still flying, the F/A-18s VMFA(AW)-242 “The Bats.” He did see combat with the Green Knights while deployed to Al Asad, Iraq, from February to early September, 2007. Major Tavernier’s personal awards

News briefs... Joint Chiefs divide over commissary cuts All seven members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff testified recently on the need to slow growth in military compensation. But their united front for easing current budget burdens cracked over the notion of slashing savings for commissary shoppers. Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos called the proposal to cut com-

missary appropriations by $1 billion, “a sore point for me.” But Navy Adm. James A. Winnefeld Jr., vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs, defended lowering the appropriation for the Defense Commissary Agency in increments, starting with $200 million next year, and suggesting the initial impact at least would be modest.

New boss picked for Phoenix VA An interim director will take over the embattled Phoenix VA Health Care System on Monday, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced. Steve Young will oversee delivery of health care to an estimated 85,000 veterans and an operating budget of about $500 million.The move comes as the Phoenix VA tries to restore its reputation while it is under investigation for possible patient deaths. In recent weeks, critics of the VA system have alleged that administrators in Phoenix kept an off-the-books list to conceal long wait times as 40 veterans died waiting to get an appointment.

Guard never analyzed NASCAR spending effectiveness The U.S. Navy Center for Service Support has announced it will be encouraging all of its instructors to qualify as Master Training Specialist (MTS). Earning MTS in an appropriate billet is similar to earning an applicable warfare designation in an operational billet.

Tricare for Life cuts discounts for 400k Starting this spring, more than 400,000 military retirees and senior dependents in the Tricare for Life program will owe the full amount for certain prescription refills if they use a retail pharmacy rather than a military pharmacy or a mail service. The change, part of a pilot program created by Congress, is meant to help control the cost of military health care and in its first year, is expected to cut $120 million from the $3.3 billion that the U.S. Department of Defense pays annually for Tricare For Life pharmacy needs. The government insurance serves about 2 million military retirees and their dependents over 65, supplementing Medicare. Tricare for Life accounts for nearly half of the $7.1 billion that

the Defense Department spends each year on its pharmacy program. The pilot includes more than 400 medications -- mostly brand-name -- for chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and asthma. Prescriptions for pain relievers, antibiotics and other medicines for acute conditions aren’t affected. With the program, members can fill eligible prescriptions three times at a retail outlet, usually a 30-day supply for a $17 copayment. Then, if they don’t switch, they’re responsible for the drug’s entire cost for subsequent refills, charges that quickly could climb into hundreds of dollars. If they do switch, they’ll owe $13 for each 90-day supply through the Express Scripts mail service or nothing when they use a base pharmacy.

By Bethany Lyttle Forbes.com Picking out a new house can be exciting and terrifying at the same time. How do you choose the best location? What if the house has problems you can’t afford to fix? What’s the tiebreaker if you love two places equally? The first and only way to begin the decision-making process is to grab your calculator. A dream home becomes a nightmare the moment you can’t afford it. “As you calculate, look beyond the listing price,” says Steve Jones, associate broker of Crawford OlsonReal Estate in McCall, Idaho. Here’s why: A house with a vaulted ceiling costs more to heat than one with a low ceiling. And a house with a pool means paying to maintain it. All these extra factors can add up. Another less-tangible way to decide if a home is right for you is to trust your intuition, says Pat Trainor, a realtor with Coldwell Banker High Country Realty in Blue Ridge, Georgia. “I believe that most buyers form an impression in the first few seconds after they walk into a house,” he says. Even as a seasoned agent, he says he formulates an impression almost immediately. “Is this a happy house? Or does it depress me? Notice how you respond—and trust your reactions,” Trainor adds. Would you be broken hearted if you lost this house to another buyer? If the answer is yes, make an offer. Seldom will you go wrong if you follow your heart.”

Jason Verrett (front). Coming off a highly successful 2013 draft which saw him land three solid starters, all eyes were on Tom Telesco to see if he could possibly duplicate what he did as a first-year general manager. Although one cannot truly grade a draft until the players put on the pads and produce on the field, most of the talking heads in the sports talk field gave a positive ‘thumbs-up’ for Telesco’s choices. Here’s a look at your San Diego Chargers 2014 draft class.

Regarded as one of the top five cornerbacks in the draft, the only real concern regarding Verrett is his size – 5-9, 178-Pounds – which many felt kept him from being the first cornerback taken overall. What the Chargers get in Verrett is a tough, instinctive player who

has no reservations about being tasked to shutdown opposing receivers no matter their height or speed. Growing up a Raiders fan in the Bay area, Verrett said when he got to high school he focused on individual players rather than rooting for a particular team. He says his father gave him some valuable advice as a kid and developing the chip on his shoulder because of his size has played a major key to his success. “Always to keep my chin up in any situation and always strive to stay motivated and try to be the number one guy,” Verrett said while quoting his father’s advice. “The chip came from me not being the biggest guy out there,” he continued. “The fact that I can show that I can play against those bigger guys has definitely earned their respect, and at this level I’m definitely going to earn the respect that I need and try to help the Chargers win a championship.”

Sports Illustrated Draft Analyst Chris Burke on Verrett: “Without having to sacrifice any additional picks and trade up, the Chargers scored a cornerback that’s clearly among the top five at his position in this class. Heck, Verrett may turn out to be the best of the bunch, given that he has the versatility to play zone or man and has a knack for finding the football in the air. Justin Gilbert, Kyle Fuller and Darqueze Dennard were the cornerbacks taken above him. Don’t be surprised if Verrett becomes the pace-setter among the rookies at his position before long.”

Round 2: Jeremiah Attaochu; OLB; Georgia Tech

Listed as a ‘Sleeper’ pick amongst the outside linebackers in USA Today’s Draft Guide, Telesco wasted little time trading a fourth-round choice in this year’s draft to the Dolphins, to move up from No. 57 to No. 50 in order to select the 6-3, 252-pound Attaochu. “We didn’t trade up just for an outside linebacker,” Telesco said. “We traded up for Jerry. ... He’s a player we had targeted for a long time and actually targeted much higher. We just felt we had to go get him. He brings a lot of energy to our defense. “He played 3-4 outside linebacker for three years at Georgia Tech. He played some defensive end this year. ... He gets to the quarterback. He plays the style of football we love. He’s relentless. He’s got a big motor. We’re thrilled to get him.” “He (was) the last of the true 3-4 outside linebackers in this draft,” NFL Network Analyst Mike Mayock said after he was drafted. “Attaochu can play inside or outside or with his hand in the dirt. I love his motor, and he makes plays everywhere.”

Round 3: Chris Watt; OG; Notre Dame

A fifth-year senior and three-year starter for the Fighting Irish, the 6-2, 311-pound Watt is known as a tough, solid run blocker who should fit in well within the Chargers’ zone blocking scheme. Watt was part of an offensive line that allowed just eight sacks in 2013, tied for second-fewest in the nation. In 2012, he started all 13 games as Notre Dame went 12-1 and played Alabama in the National Championship game. “He’s a real tough, nasty, physical player who excels in the run game and is good in pass protection as well,” Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Spanos said. “He’s a technician – good hand use; good hand placement; a physical player like I said and a real good player. “I think he can be pretty versatile between both guard spots, that’s where he played most of his career is at guard.

He’s played at a high level too – you’re talking about a top college program against top level competition and he’s been very productive.” “He’s one of the smartest, toughest offensive linemen in this draft,” said Mayock, who also calls Notre Dame’s games for NBC.

Round 5: Ryan Carrethers; DT; Arkansas State

Looking to add depth at nose tackle and hoping to improve upon their 12th ranked run defense, Telesco selected Carrethers to help keep the offensive linemen away from Donald Butler and Manti Te’o. However, in Carrethers the Chargers are getting more than just a big body to occupy blockers, this guy is an athlete. Last season he garnering up some 93 tackles, 8 tackles for loss and 4 sacks. As a sophomore he broke Arkansas State’s squat record – his max is 700 pounds. At his pro day in March he bench pressed 225-pounds 36 times and he is a former two-time state wrestling champion who went undefeated his senior year in high school. “Ryan is one of those prototypical nose tackles. He’s 6-1, 322 pounds. He’s a powerful, stout player inside,” Telesco said. “He also has some uncommon production for a nose tackle. He had a lot of tackles, TFL’s (tackles for loss) and sacks at Arkansas State. He really played well against the bigger schools.” “He fits great along our D-Line, he’s a big, strong, physical player; excellent against the run,” Spanos said. “He plays with a high-motor; had a lot of production at Arkansas State and we’re really glad to get him into the fold. “A lot of times (with) these nose tackles, their primary responsibility is taking on blocks and freeing-up other guys to make plays, but he’s a very productive player who got in on a lot of tackles and has great instincts for the nose tackle position.”

Round 6 Marion Grice; RB; Arizona State

Sometimes the direction of the draft dictates your decision in selecting a player you might otherwise have passed on, and that could very well be the case here. Seemingly already set at running back, the 39 touchdowns the 6-0, 205-pound Grice put up in two years as a Sun Devil was apparently too good for Telesco to pass up. Despite missing the final three games last season, his 234 points scored is the highest two-season mark in Arizona State’s history. He clocked in at 4.54 in the 40yard dash. “The number one thing that jumps out about him is his production,” Spanos said. “He started out in junior college and only spent two years at AriCHARGERS, cont’d. on Page 29 For advertising information, call (858) 537-2280 • advertising@militarypress.com

5 foreign NBA players making bank 2. Pau Gasol, Spain

The year 1946 was an important one in many respects, with one of them being the hiring of the first international player in the National Basketball Association: Henry Biasatti, who was born in Italy and raised in Canada. Sixtyeight years later, the 2013-2014 season opened with a record 92 international players on NBA rosters — more than 20 percent of the league. But not only are they in the league, they’re thriving, too. Here are the five highest-paid foreign players of the season.

1. Dirk Nowitzki, Germany

• Team: Dallas Mavericks • Salary: $22,721,381 Like a fine German wine, Dirk seems to only be getting better — well, at least not worse — with age. After

15 years in the league, he’s averaging approximately 21 points per game this season, putting him on the short list of top players in NBA history to average 20 points after turning 35. His true

MOTORCYCLES

shooting percentage is a respectable .584, and he recently became 13th on the league’s all-time leading scorer list. He does a respectable Ron Burgundy impression. Dirk? Worth every penny.

• Team: Los Angeles Lakers • Salary: $19,285,850 After 12 years in the league, “The Meal Ticket” Gasol still boasts respectable numbers: 15.8 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks — not his best, but not terrible, either. With an expiring contract this season, it remains to be seen what the Lakers front office will do with the big man. Talks of a trade are a hot topic, and Gasol even (erroneously) learned through checking his Twitter feed during the intermission of The Lion King that he’d been traded. My favorite part of that story? This quote: “It was a really good musical. I enjoyed it. I brought my parents and my little brother. It was a nice family time. But that kind of affected a little bit, the rest of the show.”

3. Marc Gasol, Spain

• Team: Memphis Grizzlies • Salary: $14,860,523 Though big brother Pau remains the Grizzlies’ all-time leading scorer after playing in Memphis for seven seasons (2001-2008), Marc “The Big Burrito” has made his own waves at the franchise. A five-year veteran of the league, Gasol has led the Grizzlies in blocks per game every season since joining the NBA. He was the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year for 2012-2013, and he’s averaging 16 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 4.3 assists this season.

4. Luol Deng, born in Sudan and later immigrated to the U.K.

• Team: Cleveland Cavaliers • Salary: $14,275,000 Deng, who was offered a non-negotiable, three-year $30 million contract last week from Chicago Bulls GM Gar Forman that was swiftly rejected, was traded to Cleveland and will spend the rest of his season there. Arguably an injury-prone player, Deng is undoubtedly an asset to any team, averaging 19 points, 3.7 assists, and 6.9 rebounds this season. “It took a while to hit me,” Deng said of the trade to reporters. “But it’s not like I’m stopping from playing basketball. I’ve been traded from one great organization to another one.” Though he is in the final year of his contract and eligible for free agency this summer, Deng has expressed a willingness to entertain a long-term contract with the Cavs. Fun fact: Deng has worn the No. 9 jersey since entering the NBA as a tribute to his mother, Martha, who had nine children.

5. Andrew Bogut, Australia

22 May 15, 2014 THE MILITARY PRESS

• Team: Golden State Warriors • Salary: $14,000,000 Though an Australian native, Bogut’s parents are Croatian, and the 7-foot center has admitted to modeling his game after another Croat’s — yes, we’re talking about Tony Kukoc. Stats this season for Bogut thus far are 8.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game. In his two seasons with Golden State, Bogut is also 100 percent BANK, cont’d. on Page 30 www.MilitaryPress.com • editorsdesk@militarypress.com

Chinese baby

A Chinese couple named Wong had a new baby. The nurse brings them over a lovely, healthy, bouncy, definitely Caucasian white baby boy! “Congratulations,” says the nurse to the new parents. “What will you name the baby?” The puzzled father looks at his new baby boy and says, “Well, two Wongs don’t make a white, so I think we will name him Sum Ting Wong.”

Nice try though

Just for Laughs

A little girl wants to walk her dog, but her father says that she can’t because the dog is in heat. After a moment’s thought, he finally says, “Well, I guess, if we pour gas on the dog’s rear end it will kill the scent.” So he does. Half an hour later, the girl returns. The father says, “Where’s the dog?” The girl replies,”She ran out of gas half a block down the street, and the neighbor’s dog is pushing her home.”

After all these years…

PUZZLE PAGE

After 50 years of marriage Paddy Murphy’s wife turned to him at the breakfast table and said with twinkle in her eye, “My breasts are as hot today, as the day you met me!” Paddy replied, “I know!! That’s because one’s in your porridge and the other’s in your coffee. Lean back sweetheart”

I fish on Fridays

A husband and wife came for counseling after 20 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 20 years they had been married.   She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of un-met needs she had endured over the course of their marriage.    Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the wife to stand, embraced and kissed her passionately as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze.   The therapist turned to the husband and said, “This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?”  The husband thought for a mo-

Boots

A lady went into a bar in Waco and saw a cowboy with his feet propped up on a table. He had the biggest boots she’d ever seen.  The woman asked the cowboy if it’s true what they say about men with big feet are well endowed. The cowboy grinned and said, “Shore is, little lady. Why don’t you come on out to the bunkhouse and let me prove it to you?” The woman wanted to find out for herself, so she spent the night with him. The next morning she handed him a $100 bill. Blushing, he said, “Well, thankee, ma’am. Ah’m real flattered. Ain’t nobody ever paid me fer mah services before.” “Don’t be flattered. Take the money and buy yourself some boots that fit.”

Q: Why are good men like parking spaces? A: The good ones are already taken!

She was fired

An Emergency Call Center worker in London, Ontario, has been dismissed from her job, much to the dismay of colleagues who are reportedly unhappy with her treatment. It seems a male caller dialed 911 from a cell phone stating, “I am depressed and lying here on a railway track. I am waiting for the train to come so I can finally end my life.” Apparently “remain calm and stay on the line” was not considered to be an appropriate or correct response.

How to sell a Bible

meet at the church. The preacher asks the boys, “How many Bibles did you sell?” The first boy says, “35.” The second boy says, “75.” The boy with the speech impediment says, “I-I-I s-s-sold 175.” The preacher is amazed and asks the boy how he did it. The boy says, “I-I-I t-t-told them to b-b-buy t-t-them, or I’d r-r-read it to tt-them.”

Well, the next morning, the farmer looked out and saw Randy lying there on his lawn. His legs were up in the air, his eyes rolled back, and his long tongue hanging out. A buzzard was already circling above Randy. The farmer walked up to Randy saying, “Oh you poor thing, look what you did, you’ve gone and killed yourself. I warned you, my little buddy.” “Shhhhh,” Randy whispered, “The buzzard’s getting closer.”

Randy rooster

Different girl

A farmer wanted to have his hens serviced, so he went to the market looking for a rooster. He was hoping he could get a special rooster — one that could service all of his many hens. When he told this to the market vendor, the vendor replied, “I have just the rooster for you. Randy here is the horniest rooster you will ever see!” So the farmer took Randy back to the farm. Before setting him loose in the henhouse, though, he gave Randy a little pep talk. “Randy,” he said, “I’m counting on you to do your stuff.” And without a word, Randy strutted into the henhouse and set to work. Randy was as fast as he was furious, mounting each hen like a thunderbolt. There was much squawking and many feathers flying, till Randy had finished having his way with each hen. The farmer, watching all of this with disbelief, cried out, “Stop, Randy, you’ll kill yourself!” But Randy continued, seeking out each farm animal in the same manner.

The soldier asked for a furlough, so that he might get married. “How long have you known the girl?” His superior asked. “A week.” “Why, my lad, that is hardly long enough. I suggest that you wait a couple of months, and then, if you still want to get married, I shall grant you a furlough.” In two months the soldier was back, reminding his superior of his promise. “So you still want to get married? I did not suppose that a young man would stay interested in the same girl for such a long time nowadays.” “I know, sir. But it is not the same girl.”

Stress

Joe stopped and picked up a nice hitchhiking girl. Suddenly she lost consciousness and Joe took her to a hospital. He was stressed. In the hospital they told Joe that

she was pregnant and doctors start congratulating him about the future newborn. Joe explained that just an hour ago he had seen her for the first time in his life, but she insisted that Joe was the father. Joe was insistent that he wasn’t the father and would take a DNA test to prove it! After the test the doctor tells Joe he’s not the father because the test proved that Joe’s been sterile all his life. Joe was really relieved and couldn’t wait to tell his wife and three kids the news.

True story?

Japanese Prime Minister Mori was given some basic English conversation training before he attends the July 2000 G-8 Summit in Okinawa and meets with President Bill Clinton. The instructor told Mori, “Prime Minister, when you shake hands with President Clinton, please say ‘How are you?’ Then Mr. Clinton should say, ‘I am fine, and you?’ Now you should say ‘me too.’ Afterwards we translators will do all the work for you.” It looks quite simple, but the truth is when Mori met Clinton, he mistakenly said, “Who are you?” Mr. Clinton was a bit shocked, but still managed to react with humor: “Well, I am Hillary’s husband, ha ha...” Then Mori replied confidently, “Me too, ha ha ha...” Then there was a long silent moment in the meeting room.

Cont’d. from Page 21 zona State, and in those two years he really was effective both running the ball and catching the ball – they used him a lot out of the backfield. “He has great hands (as a receiver); as a runner he has really great vision and instincts inside; good plant and cut ability and like I said, the production just really jumps out on tape.” Round 7: Tevin Reese; WR; Baylor. The 5-10, 172 – pound Reese is a speedster who finished his career with 187 receptions; 3,102 yards; 24 touchdowns; and an average of 16.6 yards a reception. Reese was a three-year starter whose speed and ability to outrun coverage could be a great compliment to both Keenan Allen and Antonio Gates. With question marks surrounding the return of Malcom Floyd and Denario Alexander, Reese brings the muchneeded speed the receiver corps desperately needs. “He’s a guy that can really stretch the field vertically and does a nice job tracking the ball over his shoulder. I wish he was a little more physical and he’s not going to do a whole lot of work over the middle of the field, but you want someone to get over the top of the defense, like I say, take the top off of a defense – Tevin Reese is that type of guy,” NFL Network Analyst Daniel Jeremiah. “He’s fast enough that you can start back peddling 15 yards and he’ll still run by you.

Evolution of Memorial Day

passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which established Memorial Day as the last Monday in May in order to create a three-day weekend for federal employees; the change went into effect in 1971. The same law also declared Memorial Day a federal holiday.

Memorial Day traditions

Cities and towns across the United States host Memorial Day parades each year, often incorporating military personnel and members of veterans’ organizations. Some of the largest parades take place in Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C. Americans also observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries and memorials. On a less somber note, many people throw parties and barbecues on the holiday, perhaps because it unofficially marks the beginning of summer.

Memorial Day, as Decoration Day gradually came to be known, originally honored only those lost while fighting in the Civil War. But during World War I the United States found itself embroiled in another major conflict, and the holiday evolved to commemorate American military personnel who died in all wars. For decades, Memorial Day continued to be observed on May 30, the date Logan had selected for the first Decoration Day. But in 1968 Congress 30 May 15, 2014 THE MILITARY PRESS
