How 2012 U.S. Olympic Gymnastics
Selection Committee Led Her Astray
By Avi Wolfman-Arent
You could theorize ad nauseum—and many people have—about
why Nastia Liukin decided to pursue a spot on the 2012 United
States Women’s Olympic Gymnastics team.
She wanted to test her physical limits. She wanted to prove her
doubters wrong.
You might even make the insidious suggestion that she was in it
for the money—out to squeeze a few more sponsorship dollars from
the drying pulp of her gymnastics career.
Maybe so, but what about the reverse? Isn’t it possible the sport
wanted one more prime-time payday out of her?
It’s certainly seemed that way this past month.
Let’s wind the clock back to early June at Visa Nationals.
Liukin’s results there were undeniably putrid. Both of her uneven bars routines scored under 14 points. Her beam work was a bit
better, but not nearly of the caliber needed to secure a specialist
spot on the U.S. team.
With two weeks left before Trials, Liukin didn’t look like one of
America’s top 15 female gymnasts—much less one of its top five.
And yet, she was selected to compete in San Jose for an Olympic
berth.
Why?
It could’ve been because National Team Director Martha Karolyi
believed her fitness would improve or that she could add difficulty
to her routine. It could’ve been because Karolyi thought Liukin’s
experience would fortify her in a big meet—or perhaps even rub off
on some of her younger teammates.
Or it could’ve been because Nastia Liukin is a star, and her name
was going to put people in the seats and keep eyes on the television.

This just came in, and according to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Lakers are back in the hunt for Dwight Howard,
as the major proposed blockbuster deal between Brooklyn
and Orlando has all but collapsed.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are no longer willing to be
third-team facilitators for a blockbuster trade that would
send Orlando Magic All-Star center Dwight Howard to the
Brooklyn Nets, severely jeopardizing the Nets’ ability to
acquire Howard, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Dwight Howard has indicated the Nets are the only
team he will re-sign with after the season. (Getty Images)
The development has pushed the Magic to continue negotiating with several teams, especially two teams in the
Western Conference: the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston
Rockets.
This has also been confirmed by SportsCenter via Twitter.

THE first olympic games
The Olympic Games were a series of athletic competitions held for representatives of various city-states of Ancient Greece held in honor of Zeus. The
exact origins of the Games are shrouded in myth and legend but records indicate that they began in 776 BC in Olympia in Greece. They were celebrated
until 394 AD when they were suppressed by Theodosius I as part of the campaign to impose Christianity as a state religion. The Games were usually held
every four years, or olympiad, as the unit of time came to be known. During a
celebration of the Games, an Olympic Truce was enacted so that athletes could
travel from their countries to the Games in safety. The prizes for the victors
were wreaths of laurel leaves. The Games became a political tool used by city-
Commentary
By Cal Thomas
The ‘Oprahfication’ of
America
When asked at the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787 what
the Founders had wrought, Benjamin
Franklin famously said, “A Republic,
if you can keep it.”
That question might also be put to
the five Supreme Court justices who
voted recently to uphold the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act,
which mandates health insurance for
most Americans, based on twisted logic that it is a tax and thus within the
power of the Congress to impose on an
already overtaxed people.
Even better than the question of
what the court has allowed government to
do is what its ruling says about us?
Rugged

and

through many
challenges.
They
believed
we should first
take care of ourselves and help our
neighbors with government intervening only
as a last resort. Today we are
rapidly becoming a collective in which
government penalizes achievement
and subsidizes failure, thus producing
less of the former and more of the latter. Apparently promoting the “gen-

eral welfare” has come
to mean welfare.
Food stamp ads run
on the radio. The
USDA pays for
the ads, which
encourage more
people to apply for the program.
Among the
avalanche
of
postmortems
delivered by “experts” and pundits
to the court ruling, one
may have gotten closest to
answering the question about
what was in the mind of Chief Justice
John Roberts and how it reflects on
what our nation is becoming.
Paul Rothstein, a professor at
Georgetown Law School, taught Rob-
erts when he was a student. In an interview with Washington, D.C., radio
station WTOP, Rothstein said it was
empathy for the uninsured and disdain for partisanship that swayed
Roberts, making his the decisive vote.
“It’s a very odd decision,” said
Rothstein. “The conservative guy
went liberal.”
Rothstein further speculated about
Roberts’ motives when he said that
the chief justice’s experience with his
own health issues and working in big
business might have contributed to
his decision. Rothstein said Roberts
had good health care when he needed
it and that “He was probably thinking
about the millions of people who are
less fortunate than he is.”
Rothstein said Roberts needed to
land on “the right side of history and
morality” and these, too, probably influenced his vote.
Notice in all of this there is nothing
about the Constitution. And what’s this
about morality? Whose morality would
that be? Is it a fixed morality, or one
based on opinion polls and wanting
to land on “the right side of history,”
whatever that means? Liberal justices
regularly decide cases based on such
non-constitutional irrelevancies. Why
must a conservative?
This is the “Oprahfication” of America in which feelings trump truth and
personal experience and class guilt
rule, not the Constitution. Oprah Winfrey, who endorsed Obama in 2008,
might head a new cabinet department
should Obama win a second term: the
Department of Feelings.
The Supreme Court didn’t worry
about morality and which side of history it was on when it decided to make
prayer and Bible reading illegal in
public schools a half-century ago and
what about the “morality” of ripping
constitutional protection from unborn
babies? Whose moral code decided
that case?
This sounds like selective morality
by those academics who will write history. Such reasoning is not based on
sound legal principles like the Constitution, much less a moral code created
by One more “supreme” than the Supreme Court.
Rothstein said, “Roberts wanted to
show that the Supreme Court is more
responsible to legal principles than
they are to partisan principles. He has
eyes on his legacy.”
Again, what does this have to do
with the Constitution? At future confirmation hearings before the Senate
Judiciary Committee, should senators
ask questions about legacy, morality
and history in addition to the nominee’s views of the Constitution and individual cases?
If the majority on the Supreme
Court is to continue with such unsound
judgments, maybe we should consider
changing our national anthem from
“The Star Spangled Banner,” to that
irritating ‘70s song “Feelings.”

Nastia Liukin
continued from page 3 >>>
If star power was indeed the motivation, then the ploy worked.
Liukin’s “big comeback” was one of the weekend’s leading storylines.
Even after Liukin struggled during Day 1—a performance that would have eliminated any other gymnast from
contention—NBC’s Tim Daggett gleefully reported that
she was still in the hunt for an Olympic spot according to
Karolyi.
Of course she was.
USA Gymnastics wasn’t going to spike the story now, not
when its beloved star was prepared to give one more mustsee performance.
And give she did, though not nearly in the
manner expected.
Spurred on by the inflated possibility of an
Olympic return, Liukin performed on Day 2
and fell—hard, face-first, likely causing irreparable damage to her reputation in the
process.
It should have never gotten that far. Liukin shouldn’t have made Trials and she
shouldn’t have been convinced that she still
had an outside chance at the Olympic team
after her Day 1 failures.
But Nastia Liukin is a proud athlete, and
she was prepared to go as far as the powers
that be would allow. As long as they tempted
her with the possibility of an Olympic spot,
she was game to give it her all.
In turn, USA Gymnastics was all too eager to
exploit the competitive drive that once made her
great, luring her into a competition she was never fit to enter.
Champions deserve better.
No federal eNdorsemeNt implied
THE first olympic games
states to assert dominance over
their rivals. Politicians would
announce political alliances at
the Games, and in times of
war, priests would
offer sacrifices
to the gods
for victory.
The
Games were
also used
to
help
spread
Hellenistic culture
throughout
the Mediterranean. The
Olympics also
featured religious
celebrations and artistic competitions. A great statue
of Zeus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world was
erected at Olympia to preside
over the Games, though it no
longer stands. Sculptors and
poets would congregate each
olympiad to display their works
of art to would-be patrons.
The ancient Olympics were
rather different from the mo-
dern Games. There were fewer
events, and only free men who
spoke Greek could compete
(although a woman Bilistiche is also mentioned as a winner).
As long as they
met the entrance criteria, athletes
from
any country or citystate were
allowed to
participate.
The Games
were always
held at Olympia
rather than alternating to different locations as is the tradition with
the modern Olympic Games.
There is one major commonality between the ancient and
modern Games, the victorious
athletes are honored, feted,
and praised. Their deeds were
heralded and chronicled so
that future generations could
appreciate their accomplishments.

Five Tips for Safe
Summer Sun
By Kevin Ronneberg, M.D.
Summer has arrived. As the weather heats up, it’s critical for beachgoers
and outdoor fun-seekers to be sunsafe.
This begins with choosing the right
sunscreen to protect yourself from
harmful UV rays. Equally important
are these five simple tips from the
Skin Cancer Foundation, which also
will help you mitigate sun damage and
reduce the risk of skin cancer.
First, seek the shade. Simply minimizing exposure to UVA and UVB
rays can go a long way toward protecting your skin. Taking a break from
direct sun is especially important between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.,
when rays are strongest. And remember, clouds don’t block UV rays.
Infants under six months should
always be kept out of the sun — protected with clothing, an umbrella or
a stroller hood. Children and adults
should wear protective clothing, including wide-brimmed hats and UVblocking sunglasses.
Second, use a broad spectrum
(UVA/UVB) sunscreen with SPF 15
or higher. Regardless of the season,
this kind of sun protection should be
used on a daily basis. Most people understand the importance of sun safety
during the summer months, but many
underestimate the need for year-
round protection. The temperature
may drop, but UV rays remains strong.
And the cooler temperatures may actually prevent people from realizing
the extent of the damage the sun is doing to their skin.
Third, apply 1 ounce of sunscreen
to the entire body 30 minutes before going outside.
According to the Skin
Cancer Foundation, for full
SPF protection, sunscreen
must be applied half an
hour before sun exposure.
If you are average size,
you’ll need a full ounce —
or about two tablespoons
— to adequately cover
your skin. Studies show
that most people apply less
than half that amount, losing the full benefit of the
SPF protection.
Reapplication is just as important
as putting sunscreen on in the first
place, as sunscreens tend to break
down with exposure and can be
rubbed off or washed off by sweat or
water. So sunscreen should be applied
every two hours, and immediately after swimming or a set of tennis. During a full day at the beach, one person
should expect to use at least a quarter
of an 8 oz. bottle of sunscreen.
To check yourself for signs of skin
damage, inspect your skin from head
to toe, looking for spots or sores that
heal too slowly, new growths, and any
moles or beauty marks that change in
color, texture, or size. And once each
year, be sure to ask your physician for
a skin checkup.
Sunscreens are an essential part
of a healthy lifestyle. They keep skin
looking young and reduce the risk of
many skin cancers. They must be used
properly, however. These five suggestions will help keep you and your skin
safe.

Dear Mr. Matz,
I go often to the Navy Field House
gym on the “dryside” of the 32nd St.
Naval Base where I pick-up free copies
of NAVY COMPASS, San Diego Navy/
Marine Corps DISPATCH, and MILITARY PRESS to read at home. I enjoy
the publications; except for my strong
personal exception to your recent personal political commentary denigrating our President and Commander in
Chief.. . I do not remember having
ever read any articles in any of those
publications to equal the disrespect,
attitude and derogatory tone of your
personal commentary denigrating our
Commander in Chief. I just do not
think it appropriate in a publication
serving our military.

Patriotism means to stand by the
country. It does not mean to stand by
the President or any other public official! Was it appropriate for the Washington Post to attack President Nixon
and would you consider the outcome
as denigrating our Commander in
Chief? I think the denigration was to
the man and not the office. Two more
questions” Do you think President
Obama’s apology to all the nations for
America’s wrong doings was a slap in
the face to the men, women and families who lost and are still losing their
loved ones? And last, but not least...
what is your President Obama’s definition of the word “ILLEGAL” mean? I’d
like the President and you to explain
it to all the legal immigrants waiting
in line to become American citizens!
To announce that there must be no
critiscim of the President is morally
treasonable to the American public.

We only fight for the
American flag!
My Grandfather watched as his
friends died in WWI.
My Father watched as his friends
died in WW II and Korea.
I watched as my friends died in
Vietnam.
None of them died for the Mexican
flag.
Everyone died for the U.S. flag.
In Texas, a student raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole; another
student took it down. Guess who was
expelled? The kid who took it down. Kids in high school in California
were sent home last year on Cinco de
Mayo because they wore T-shirts with
the American flag printed on them. Enough is enough. The below e-mail message needs
to be viewed by every American; and
every American needs to stand up for
America.
We’ve bent over to appease the
America-haters long enough.
I’m taking a stand.
I’m standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting
in wars for this country, and for the
U.S. flag can’t stand up.
And shame on anyone who tries to
make this a racist message.
Let me make this perfectly clear!
THIS IS MY COUNTRY!
And, because I make This statement DOES NOT mean I’m against
immigration!!! YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN
MY COUNTRY!
Welcome! To come through legally:
1. Get a sponsor!
2. Get a place to lay your head! 3. Get a job! 4. Live By OUR Rules!

And 6. Learn the LANGUAGE like immigrants have in the past!!!
And
7. Please don’t demand that we
hand over our lifetime savings of Social Security Funds to you. If you don’t want to forward this for
fear of offending someone,
Then YOU’RE PART OF THE
PROBLEM! When will AMERICANS STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS???
We’ve gone so far the other way...

On 5 September, eight Palestinian terrorists broke into the Olympic Village, killing
two members of the Israeli team and taking
nine hostages. In the ensuing battle, all nine
Israeli hostages were killed, as were five of

of the terrorists, the IOC ordered the competitions to resume after a pause of 34 hours.

All other details of the Munich Games pale in significance, but it did have

Men’s indoor handball, slalom canoeing and kayaking all made their Olympic debuts. West German Liselott Linsenhoff, competing in the dressage event,
became the first female equestrian to win a gold medal, and archery returned
to the Olympic programme after a 52-year absence.

U.S. swimmer Mark Spitz won an incredible seven gold medals and broke

Former Navajo Code
Talker Willeto Dies
By Charles D. Brunt,
Albuquerque Journal
Frank Chee Willeto, a Navajo Code
Talker and former Navajo Nation vice
president,
died
Saturday at his
home in Pueblo
Pintado. He was
87.
Willeto joined
the U.S. Marine
Corps in 1944 and
became a Code
Talker, an elite
group of Marine
recruits whose native language was
used to create a code that proved to
be unbreakable by the Japanese. The
military didn’t declassify documents
acknowledging the Code Talkers’ role
in the war until 1968. In July 2001, the
Navajo Code Talkers were awarded
the Congressional Silver Medal.
Willeto served with the Corps’ 6th
Division in Saipan and Okinawa during the battle for the Pacific.

Cicely Verstein, 21, of Morgantown,

When she contacted the local recruiting office, she wasn’t planning on
becoming a groundbreaker, she said
in an Army press release. “I’ve always

looked like fun,” she said.
In May, the Army opened six combat support military occupational specialties to women: artillery mechanic,

field artillery firefinder radar operator, multiple launch rocket system

The Marine Corps has
released a plan aimed at
preventing sexual assault and holding
offenders
and

accountable,
noting
that
“despite
our
efforts, we have
been ineffective at
addressing and eliminating sexual assault.”
The plan, signed by Commandant Gen. James Amos,
addresses many of the issues
that victims and victim advocates frequently highlight — including an undue focus on victims’ personal life and
command climates that foster sexual
harassment and discourage reporting.
It outlines a three-part campaign plan
with a goal of “true zero tolerance, effective sustainment, empowered reporting, effective deterrence, engaged
leadership and evolved culture.”

Review: Change
Guard, Reserve Pay
WASHINGTON — America’s citizen soldiers, who train in their hometowns for a weekend a month and
two weeks a year, receive more
money for one day of training
at home than their fellow
National Guard and Reserve members earn for
a day serving in the war
zone.
Pentagon officials defended the pay discrepancy as incentive for National Guard and reservists who give up their weekends and
must be ready on a moment’s notice
to serve. But it’s one of many problems in the complex Guard
and Reserve
compensation system
detailed in a
new Pentagon
review that recommends changes to make the salaries
and benefits more equitable across the
board.
The study noted that Guard members and reservists get two days’ pay
for each day of weekend training — totaling four days’ pay for the weekend

Texas College Hacks Drone
By Reuters/U.S. Navy
There are a lot of cool things you
can do with $1,000, but scientists at
an Austin, Texas college have come
across one that is often overlooked:
for less than a grand, how’d you like
to hijack a drone?
A group of researchers led by
Professor Todd Humphreys from the
University of Texas at Austin Radionavigation Laboratory recently succeeded in raising the
eyebrows of the US
government. With just
around $1,000 in
parts, Humphreys’
team
took
control
of an unmanned
aerial vehicle owned by the college,
all in front of the US Department of
Homeland Security.
After being challenged by his
lab, the DHS dared Humphreys’
crew to hack into a drone and take
command. Much to their chagrin,
they did exactly that.
Humphrey tells Fox News that
for a few hundreds dollar his team
was able to “spoof” the GPS system
on board the drone, a technique that
involves mimicking the actual signals sent to the global positioning
device and then eventually tricking
the target into following a new set
of commands. And, for just $1,000,
Humphreys says the spoofer his
team assembled was the most advanced one ever
built.
“Spoofing a GPS
receiver on a
UAV is just
another
way
of
hijacking
a
plane,” Hum-
phreys tells Fox. The
real
danger here, however, is that the
government is currently considering plans that will allow local law
enforcement agencies and other organizations from coast-to-coast to
control drones of their own in America’s airspace.
“In five or ten years you have
30,000 drones in the airspace,” he
tells Fox News. “Each one of these
could be a potential missile used
against us.”
Neighborhood
Opposes Veterans
Treatment Center
A planned 40-bed treatment center
for military veterans from the Gulf
War has head a roadblock of opposition from neighborhood groups and a
nearby school.
The center’s purpose is to keep
troubled vets from becoming homeless
but the danger posed to children from
the nearby school by veterans struggled with mental issues is a big issue
to opponents.
The VA has allocated $30 million
for the project, starting with remodeling a former Thomas Jefferson School
of Law building on San Diego Avenue
in Old Town. The Old Town academy,
a free charter school, is located right
across the street.
The center would provide treatment for veterans who do not need to
be hospitalized but could benefit from
rehabilitative services. The average
stay would be 60 to 120 days. Six of the
40 beds would be reserved for women.

Sadly, heart disease and cancer claim
more lives today than ever, despite
the fact that deaths from pneumonia,

On U.S. car license plates, DAMNIML8 is OK, TOILET is not
By Jason McLure
When Whitney Calk sought a personalized license plate from a Tennessee state agency to tout her vegetarian
ideals, she was annoyed when she was
told no. Turns out the letters ILVTOFU can be construed to mean more
than enjoying bean curd.
“When I see T-O-F-U, I see tofu,”
says Calk, who requested the so-called
vanity plate from the Tennessee Department of Revenue last September.
“I can’t control the way anyone else
interprets that,” said Calk, 26, an animal rights activist from Murfreesboro,
Tennessee.
The dilemma faced by Tennessee
authorities last year is not unusual,
as officials at motor vehicle agencies
nationwide consider hundreds of thousands of personalized plate requests
each year. There are an estimated 9
million personalized license plates in
the United States.
The vast majority of the requests
are not objectionable, but thousands
provide insight not only into the
boundaries of free speech but the
amount of human ingenuity expended
to display seven and eight character
insults, sexual references and descriptions of bodily functions to other motorists.
The battle to keep highways free
of offensive phrases means state officials must track everything from
Internet slang to foreign languages to
commands like 3MTA3, which reveals
its meaning when read backwards in a
rear view mirror.
Virginia may be the capital of vanity plate mischief. Personalized plates
in the state cost just $10 more than
regular license plates — compared
with $40 in Texas and $94 in Illinois.
One million of the Virginia’s 7.8 mil-
lion vehicles have them.
In 2009 alone, the state denied
more than 700 plate requests including IHAV2P and IAMHIGH along
with 100 requests beginning with the
letter ‘F’ and myriad proposals involving the number ‘69,’ according to state
documents.
Questionable formulations are so
common that a 20-person committee
of motor vehicle staffers meets for an
hour each month to review suspicious
applications. State guidelines ban deceptive plates such as FBI or confusing configurations like O0O0O and
NOTAG as well as excretory, sexual,
racial or drug references.
“It’s the only time you get to talk
like that at DMV, that’s for sure,” said
Department of Motor Vehicles spokeswoman Melanie Stokes, who sits on
the review panel.
Sometimes It’s Upside-Down
Some slip through. Pictures have
been posted on the Internet of the
Virginia-issued 370H55V — which has
to be read upside-down to get the full
message.
In Maryland, a software program
checks requests against 4,331 banned
license plate formulations, a list that
includes WILDPIG, TOILET and GAY.
State prisoners who make the plates
also help out by identifying drug,
gang or sexual references that slip by
the computer and the civil servants,
said Philip Dacey, a spokesman for the
Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration.
“A lot of these are gray areas,” said
Dacey. “TOILET is on the list and if
people want to challenge it they can
have a hearing.”
That’s what one motorist did after
Maryland revoked his MIERDA vanity plate following a complaint. Though
the Spanish term would seem to embody the state’s ban on “scatological”
references, an administrator is currently considering the man’s appeal
that the license plate should be interpreted as a non-vulgar reference to a
form of fertilizer.
In Florida, the state’s motor vehicle
agency takes a permissive stance towards celebrations of clothing optional bathing. O2B NUDE, BARE ALL
and BE NAKED have all been deemed
acceptable by the director of the agency, who nonetheless spiked 4NICK8,
CAT BUTT and COW PADY, according
to records released by the state.
Other states are less permissive.
Utah, which faced a lawsuit in the
1990s for issuing plates with the
term “Redskins” because it offended
Native Americans, has recently denied ‘IH8TBYU,’ ‘MNKYBUM,’ and
‘MYSHRAZ’ for being derogatory,
vulgar, and an alcohol reference to a
popular wine.

Navy’s revised alcohol policy & you
By Mark D. Faram
Navy Times
The Navy has had a turbulent relationship with alcohol throughout
its 236-year history. The service abolished the grog ration in 1862, but that
never diminished a sailor’s desire for
a drink after a long day’s work.
The Navy’s rules on alcohol continue to evolve, and the latest changes
are reflected in OPNAV Instruction
1700.16A, “Alcoholic Beverage Control,” dated June 7. The minor policy
changes are intended to bring the instruction in line with the Navy’s existing alcohol and drug abuse instruction, which set new standards in 2009.
What you need to know:
Drinking Age
The Navy changed the drinking age
on base to 21 in 2009 when it updated
its alcohol and drug abuse instruction.
On June 7, the Navy updated its Alcoholic Beverage Control instruction
to say the same thing. This applies to
all bases in the U.S. and in countries
where there is no
local law setting a
drinking age. If the
host country has a
lower drinking age,
sailors at that age
can drink.
What Qualifies As
Alcohol?
The Navy defines
“alcoholic
beverage” as wines, distilled spirits and
malt beverages such
as beer. If the drink
contains less than
0.5 percent alcohol by volume, it’s considered nonalcoholic.
Where Can You Drink On Base?
If you are in your own quarters and
of legal age, you can drink. That includes Navy Gateway Inns and Suites
as well as Navy Lodges. On training
bases, drinking in bachelor enlisted
quarters must be authorized by the
chief of naval personnel.
Sale or consumption of alcohol elsewhere on base is
generally restricted
to messes, clubs
and golf course club
houses, but base
commanders
can
also authorize it at
morale, welfare and
recreation
events.
Beer can also be consumed at Navy exchanges and snack
bars as well as bowling alleys.
Can You Drink On Ship? It Depends.
Generally the answer is no, but
there are exceptions: Sherry, wine,
and beer can be transported and
served on naval vessels or admiral’s
barges as part of diplomatic and community relations, with consumption
“limited to the wardroom, flag mess,
or other area designated by the CO or
embarked flag officer.” At sea, beer
can be served after 45 consecutive
days underway without a port visit.
The rules say it must come as part of
a one-day stand-down in conjunction
with flight deck or fantail cookouts as
long as nonalcoholic drinks are available. Each sailor is limited to two
12-ounce cans or bottles.
Why Is This Important?
Even though the Navy’s new rules
on alcohol consumption haven’t
changed much, sailors should take
note as the service is cracking down
on bad behavior while under the influence. This year, the Navy is rolling
out fleet wide use of Breathalyzers onboard ships and commands, hoping to
reduce the numbers of alcohol-related
incidents. Testing will be mandatory
for duty sections reporting to work and
random for others. Officials say it’s not
a punitive measure, but they will use
the tests to spot trends in individuals
and provide treatment to those with
problems.
Back when ‘the green thing’ wasn’t an issue
Checking out at the store, the young
cashier suggested to the older woman
that she should bring her own shopping bags because plastic bags weren’t
good for the environment.
The woman apologized and explained, “We didn’t have this green
thing back in my earlier days.”
The cashier responded, “That’s our
problem today. Your generation did
not care enough to save our environment for future generations.”
She was right -- our generation
didn’t have the green thing in its day.
Back then, we returned milk bottles,
pop bottles and beer bottles to the
store. The store sent them back to the
plant to be washed and sterilized and
refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were
recycled. We refilled writing pens
with ink instead of buying a new pen,
and we replaced the razor blades in
a razor instead of throwing away the
whole razor just because the blade got
dull.
But we didn’t have the green thing
back in our day.
We walked up stairs, because we
didn’t have an escalator in every shop
and office building. We walked to the
grocery store and didn’t climb into a
300-horsepower machine every time
we had to go two blocks. 20 July 15, 2012 THE MILITARY PRESS
But she was right. We didn’t have
the green thing in our day.
Back then, we washed the baby’s
diapers because we didn’t
have the throw-away kind.
We dried clothes on a
line, not in an energy
gobbling machine burning up 220 volts -- wind
and solar power really
did dry our clothes back in our
early days. Kids got hand-me-down
clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.
But that young lady is right.
We didn’t have the green thing
back in our day.
Back then, we had one TV, or radio,
in the house -- not a TV
in every room. And
the TV had a small
screen the size of a
handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen
the size of the county of
Yorkshire. In the kitchen, we blended and
stirred by hand because
we didn’t have electric
machines to do everything for us. When
we packaged a fragile item
to send in the post,
we used wadded up old newspapers
to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic
bubble wrap. Back then, we didn’t fire
up an engine and burn petrol just to
cut the lawn. We used a push mower
that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn’t need to
go to a health club to run on treadmills
that operate on electricity.
But she’s right. We didn’t have the
green thing back then.
We drank water from a fountain or
a tap when we were thirsty instead of
demanding a plastic bottle flown in
from another country. We accepted
that a lot of food was seasonal and
didn’t expect that to be bucked by flying it thousands of air miles around
the world. We actually cooked food
that didn’t come out of a packet, tin or
plastic wrap and we could even wash
our own vegetables and chop our own
salad. But we didn’t have the green thing
back then.
Back then, people took the tram
or a bus, and kids rode their bikes to
school or walked instead of turning
their mothers into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical outlet in a

Heard the one about the . . .
The pilot, a doctor, a lawyer, a little
boy and a priest were out for a Sunday
afternoon flight on a small private
plane. Suddenly, the plane developed
engine trouble. In spite of the best efforts of the pilot the plane started to
go down. Finally the pilot grabbed a
parachute, yelled to the passengers
that they had better jump, and bailed
out. Unfortunately there were only
three parachutes remaining.
The doctor grabbed one and said,
“I’m a doctor, I save lives, so I must
live,” and jumped out.
The lawyer then said, “I’m the
smartest man in the world, I deserve
to live!” He grabbed a parachute and
jumped.
The priest looked at the little boy
and said, “My son, I’ve lived a long
and full life. You are young and have
your whole life ahead of you. Take the
last parachute and live in peace.”
The little boy handed the parachute back to the priest and said,
“Not to worry, Father. The smartest
man in the world just took off with my
backpack.”
Chinese man had three daughters,
he asked his eldest daughter what
kind of man she would like to marry.
“I would like to marry a man with
three dragons on his chest”, said the
eldest daughter. He then asked his
second daughter who she would like to
marry.
two dragons on his chest”, said the
second daughter. He finally asked his
youngest daughter who she would like
to marry.

A woman whose husband often
came home drunk decided to cure him
of the habit. One Halloween night, she
put on a devil suit and hid behind a
tree to intercept him on the way home.
When her husband came by, she
jumped out and stood before him with
her red horns, long tail, and pitchfork.
“Who are you?” he asked.
“I’m the Devil,” she responded.
“Well, come on home with me,” he
said, “I married your sister.”

Opinion
will.i.am’s Aha! Moment
By Jeffrey Mayer, WireImage.com
T
hanks to a trip across cultures, traditions, and international boundaries, the hip-hop star, producer, activist, and actor saw his own country in a whole new
light.
I travel the world with the Black Eyed Peas, and everywhere I go, people ask, “What nationality are you? Jamaican? Haitian?” I answer, “I’m an American.” When you ask
the black guy in Brazil what nationality he is, he doesn’t say,
“African-Brazilian.” He says, “Brazilian.” Someone doesn’t
say, “I’m African-English.” They’re English. I couldn’t tell
you what part of Africa my ancestors came from. So I am
American, the way jazz and blues are American music. The
way peach cobbler is an American dessert.
I was born and raised in East Los Angeles by a single
mom who had three biological kids and adopted four more.
I never met my dad. When I was 10, Mom sent me to school
in Pacific Palisades, a wealthy neighborhood. She wanted
me to be challenged. I had the dream of being a hip-hop artist, and when I was in the 11th grade, I got my first record
deal. I formed the Black Eyed Peas in 1995.
Going to Europe three years later to promote our album
opened my eyes. It made me realize how young America is.
If countries were people, England and France would be old
men. Italy would be dead. Compared with them, America is
in its 20s. The cultures and attitudes in Europe were beautiful to see. Everyone speaks three languages because the
countries are so close together. In Los Angeles, I’d ride an
hour to school, but if you drive an hour from France, you’re
in Spain.
I’ve always been proud of my country. For me, America

was a place where a black kid with a fresh style
and a positive message could use hip-hop to get
out of the projects. But I didn’t get the big picture until I saw this country from a distance.
Traveling in Europe made me understand that America has an island mentality: No one exists
except us. There’s a whole
other world out there, but
most Americans—all they
know is America, the marketing plan. When you’re in
your house, you don’t know
what it smells like. Your
friend says, “I walked into
Will’s house; it’s got this
weird funky fish smell.”
Then you step outside, and you
say, “Wow, what are these?
Daffodils?” Back in your
house, you say, “Oh, it smells
like fish in here.”
We are living in such a
great time right now. We
should continue to be the
light of the world. America
has to be not just an idea but
a living, breathing thing. We
have to open the windows
and let some air in.

May 2009 issue of O magazine.)

Chappy’s on Eagle’s Wings
true patriots
on our shore. Throughout the night he
watched and looked for our great ensign still waving over Fort McHenry,
which protected the city of Baltimore.
When the battle was over and the
flag was still there, he frantically
wrote down the thoughts and feelings
that ran through him. What was composed became The Star Spangled Banner. It was later adopted in 1931 as our
national anthem. Francis Scott Key
did what he wanted to do in his life; he
served others and is known today as a
true patriot.
Like The Star Spangled Banner, we
This month, with the celebration of
the birth our nation last week, I wanted to touch on the meaning of being
a true patriot and share some of the
story of how Francis Scott Key had
the desire to serve his country and fellowman and make a difference in this
great country’s history. Francis Scott
Key grew up during the beginning of
this land’s story.
It was when he was serving during
the war of 1812, in the middle of saving a friend’s life from the hands of
the enemy British, he was held on his
ship to await the attack of the British

honor our flag and nation with songs,
salutes and celebrations. If you think
about it, our flag has inspired many to
accomplish so many amazing things;
from those who honorably stand behind it in battle to defend the freedom
it stands for, to one posting it on the
dusty surface of the Moon to show how
dreams can be realized. Old Glory,
The Stars and Stripes, are also flown
over the caskets of those who have
made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve freedom. It is one of the most
powerful symbols we have to inspire
such devotion and feelings.
Those who know me know that
most of my personal belongings often display this great inspirational
ensign. In fact if you have been in my
offices you will find numerous flags,
eagles and patriotic symbols. My vehicles fly them proudly and many of
my clothes display them. It is not just
a nice thing in my mind. It is truly an
awe inspiring, meaningful symbol of
the great blessings we all enjoy here
in this “land of the free and home of
the brave.”
As with Francis Scott Key and all
those who serve their fellowman in
the military, servicemen and women
are honorably giving of themselves,
and willingly bearing other’s burdens.
Throughout the scriptures we have
been taught to do this. Actually many
of us have the opportunity to do similarly for those around us and often
give all we have for others.

Who Has a Better Starting 5,
Los Angeles Lakers or Miami Heat?
By Joel C. Cordes
It's the question that will be endlessly debated for the rest of the
2012 NBA offseason: Do the Los Angeles Lakers have a better starting
five than the defending champion
Miami Heat?
The 2012 NBA free
agency period has been
an arms race. With the
Lakers trading for Steve
Nash, and Ray Allen's
signing to Miami, two of
the league's superpowers just got stronger.
Quality
teams
like the San Antonio
Spurs, the Oklahoma
City Thunder and the
Chicago Bulls have had
freakishly quiet offseasons by comparison.
Long-time
contenders
like the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks are scrambling
just to keep up and
to stop the bleeding,
respectively.

Sports News
While newcomers like the Brooklyn Nets are also racing to the
summit via their re-signing of Deron
Williams, trading for the Atlanta
Hawks' Joe Johnson and continued
pursuit of the Orlando Magic's Dwight
Howard, they are still a step away
from completing
their roster.
Yet every
single one of
those teams
have clearly
fallen behind
the Heat and
Lakers.
The
Heat's
starting lineup was already good
enough to win the championship. Now
they're able to trot out Mario Chalmers, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James,
Chris Bosh and Shane Battier (or Udonis Haslem) while adding one of the
league's best shooters to their bench.
The
Lakers
have
upgraded
Ramon Sessions with Steve Nash,
and they will flank him with Kobe
Bryant, Metta World Peace (or
Devin Ebanks), Pau Gasol and
Andrew Bynum.
It's a paper debate for
now, but the Heat and Lakers have both positioned
themselves to settle this
on the court when the
2013 NBA Finals roll
around.

First-time Olympian rips
Michael Phelps’ work ethic
By Chris Chase
T
wo weeks after getting smoked by Michael
Phelps at the U.S. Olympic trials, swimmer
Tyler Clary blasted the 14-time gold medalist
and his training habits in a contentious interview
with his local California newspaper.
Clary, who qualified for his first Olympic team
after finishing 1.5 seconds behind Phelps in the 200
fly, says Phelps doesn’t train hard in practice. He
resents that Phelps has so much talent but doesn’t
have the work ethic to go along with it.
He told Jim Alexander of the Press-Enterprise:
“The fact that [Phelps] doesn’t have to work as
hard to get that done, it’s a real shame. I think it’s
too bad. You see that all too often, where you get
athletes that are incredibly talented that really take
it for granted. I think the things he could have done
if he’d worked as hard as I do would have been even
more incredible than what he has pulled off.”
Phelps has won the most gold medals in Olympic
history. He surpassed Mark Spitz for most golds at a
single Games. This year, he’s a lock to set the record
for most medals ever won. He has 54 gold medals in
international competition, will be competing in his
fourth Olympics and has set world records for the
better part of a decade. But, yeah, he’s left a little
bit on the table. What more can he do? Set world records in events he doesn’t swim? Win medals at the
Winter Olympics? Race on the moon?
You can see why Clary would harbor such bitterness and jealousy of Phelps. Clary’s delusions of
grandeur have turned into realities of bronze. His
best international finishes -- 400 IM silver medals
at the 2009 and 2011 world championships -- were
made possible because Phelps chose not to swim the
event. Phelps made his 400 IM return at trials and
Clary was promptly booted to third place and off the
Olympic team.
“Basically, he was a swimmer that didn’t want
to be [at practice.] They can talk about all of these
goals and plans and preparation they have. I saw
it. I know. It’s different. And I saw somebody that
has basically been asking to get beat for the longest
time.”
Here’s the thing: Clary isn’t wrong. It’s no secret that Phelps made a conscious decision to take
it easy after the 2009 world championships. After
nine straight years of international competitive
swimming, he probably needed the break. It was
a recharging of the batteries. But we’re past that
now. Phelps’ performance at the U.S. Olympic tri-

als -- where, once again he crushed Tyler Clary in
two events -- was good enough to quell any concerns
about the shape he’s in before London. The plan
worked. It may not be enough to win seven gold medals in London, but it’s going to win him a handful of
golds and get him to the podium every time he steps
into the pool.
These statements coming from any swimmer not
named Ryan Lochte are like a chihuahua snipping
at a rottweiler. Even from Lochte (who would never
say such a thing, regardless of whether he believed
it or not) it’d be over the top. Phelps’ results speak
for themselves. He hasn’t fallen off -- not that we’ve
seen. If Phelps was an example of wasted talent then
he’d be ripe for criticism. As it stands now, he’s the
poster child for making the most of it. Whether or
not he takes every set seriously or shows up early
to morning dryland is irrelevant so long as he keeps
winning.

This has also been confirmed by
SportsCenter via Twitter.
So, after reports surfaced, stating Andrew Bynum’s refusal to sign a
contract extension with the Orlando
Magic, how can the Lakers still obtain
Howard?
Andrew Bynum recently tipped his
hand on his preferred destinations
should he not sign a max contract with
Los Angeles. The Cleveland Cavaliers,
Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks were the reported teams.
While the absurdity of these choices remains to be another article for
another day, there is one team on this
list that shares common ground with
the Lakers.
The Rockets have been reportedly
doing everything in their power to obtain Orlando’s disgruntled star. They
feature a deal that includes desirable
draft picks and loads of cap space they
could use to absorb a bad contract or
two.
On the other hand, the Lakers are
stuck at ground zero with Bynum unwilling to move on his “I hate Orlando” stance.
This is where strategy comes in.
If the Houston Rockets acquired
Dwight Howard, it would almost surely be as a rental as Howard has made
it clear he has no intentions of resigning with any team besides Brooklyn.
While the same is true for the Lakers,
they are confident that Howard would
resign given their already-winning
roster and ability to offer Howard a
max contract deal and the spotlight he
craves in Los Angeles.
Would the Houston Rockets be satisfied with Andrew Bynum as a conso-
lation prize? Who could not be satisfied with him? It is almost like he is
too good to be considered a silver medal reward. I think it is safe to say we
can award Houston with a gold medal
while the Lakers would obtain a platinum medal for their efforts. And,
there is no risk for Houston here. After all, Bynum clearly listed Houston
as a potential destination. The Lakers
are left taking all the risks. Houston
would strike gold with a win-win scenario.
In order for my proposed trade scenario to work, the trade that sent Ryan
Anderson to the New Orleans Hornets
would have to be revoked. This is possible as trades are not made official
until the 11th of July.
The Los Angeles Lakers would receive Dwight Howard, Ryan Anderson
and Jason Richardson from the Orlando Magic.
Andrew Bynum would be sent to
the Houston Rockets
along with Josh
T:7.02”
McRoberts, Steve Blake and Hedo
Turkoglu.
Orlando would receive Pau Gasol and Metta World Peace from Los
Angeles. And, to complete the trade,
Houston would send Terrence Jones,
Jeremy Lamb and Royce White along
with 2013 and 2015 first round draft
picks.
Not only does Orlando gain a cluster of young talent and draft picks,
they also receive an all-star power forward in Pau Gasol while shedding two
bad contracts.
I think this would be a win-win for
all teams involved.
The Lakers would then resign Jordan Hill and Ramon Sessions to fill
the void left by McRoberts and Blake.
Grant Hill, who has made it abundantly clear he will not retire and is
considering the Lakers, would be added to replace the loss of Metta World
Peace.

Semper Fi
There are many times when we are
not feeling our strongest, but when
put to the test, find that we are of
great value to someone else in need
of a helping hand, leg, or arm. A story
that exemplifies this is one about …
Bob Butler, “who lost his legs in a 1965
land mine explosion in Vietnam. He
returned home a war hero. Twenty
years later, he proved once again that
heroism comes from the heart.
Butler was working in his garage
in a small town in Arizona on a hot
summer day when he heard a woman’s
screams coming from a nearby house.
He began rolling his wheelchair toward the house but the dense shrubbery wouldn’t allow him access to the
back door. So he got out of his chair
and started to crawl through the dirt
and bushes.
I had to get there, he says. It didn’t
matter how much it hurt. When Butler
arrived at the pool there was a threeyear-old girl named Stephanie Hanes
lying at the bottom. She had been born
without arms and had fallen in the water and couldn’t swim.
Her mother stood over her baby
screaming frantically. Butler dove to
the bottom of the pool and brought little Stephanie up to the deck. Her face
was blue; she had no pulse and was not
breathing. Butler immediately went
to work performing CPR to revive her
while Stephanie’s mother telephoned
the fire department. She was told the
paramedics were already out on a call.
Helplessly, she sobbed and hugged
Butler’s shoulder.
As Butler continued with his CPR,
he calmly reassured her. Don’t worry,
he said. I was her arms to get out of the
pool. It’ll be okay. I am now her lungs.
Together we can make it. Seconds
later the little girl coughed, regained
consciousness, and began to cry. As
they hugged and rejoiced together, the
mother asked Butler how he knew it
would be okay.
The truth is, I don’t know, he told
her. But when my legs were blown off
in the war, I was all alone in a field.
No one was there to help except a little Vietnamese girl. As she struggled
to drag me into her village, she whispered in broken English, “It okay.
You can live. I be your legs. Together
we make it.” Her kind words brought
hope to my soul and I wanted to do the
same for Stephanie.”
We all have opportunities to assist
another, to sometimes be their legs,
their arms, and their friend. When
we lay our lives down to help others,
even if it is anonymously, our ability to
love increases. Then, if you think back
on when you have done this, when we
get back to our own issues, they tend

to seem much lighter and easier to
handle after helping others. In a very
real sense, we lay our lives down every
time we put the interests and needs of
another ahead of our own.
As Francis Scott Key wanted to be
known as a true patriot, we too can
be known for our desire to serve. The
quiet, non-history making service that
we give to others, including those in
our own family, is of great value. One
day in the future, we may actually be
surprised to discover how significant
and heaven-like this service really is.
May I encourage us all to seek for
opportunities to serve our fellowman
and find the joy that follows, even
when you aren’t expecting it. This
month, I hope you please take a moment to remember those who continue
to give their all around the world and
in our local areas for each of us. Enjoy this patriotic month and please be
safe.
As always, it is my hope that this
message will help you this week to,
“mount up as on eagle’s wings”, and
renew a little of your strength to keep
moving forward and find joy…(Isaiah
40:31)
Until next time, may God bless you
all and may God continue to bless our
great nation… SEMPER FI

Buying a new home from Pardee
Homes is easier when you don’t have
to worry about selling or renting your
current home. With the ‘Smart Move
Advantage® program you can make
the transition, just like Kevin and Terri Ball of Banning. They were among
the first buyers to take advantage of
the program, after just happening
to stop by the LivingSmart® Homes
sales office in Beaumont.
“The Smart Move Advantage program seemed too good to be true,”
said Kevin Ball. “But we were ready
for a change and had looked at some
resale homes in the area. After 20
years of living in our home we never
dreamed we’d own a new home.”
The Balls were able to purchase a
new Plan 4 home at Living Smart®
Homes Tournament Hills and are in
the process of using the program to
rent their current home in Banning.
“The Smart Move Advantage program is excellent, making it easy for
us to transition from the old home to
a new home. We don’t have to worry
about renting or selling it, as the program is underway and will assist us
in renting our home for three years,”
said Ball.
In addition, Pardee Homes will
open LivingSmart® Homes Parkside
in late July, bringing 73 new homes,
priced from the $170,000s to the
$190,000s, to the area.

were released for sale ahead of schedule. With only four homes remaining
in Phase IV, the release of Phase V is

Tesoro’s homebuilder attributes the
rapid sales in part to the great incentive package being offered. With the
purchase of a Phase IV home, buyers
will receive all appliances including
