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.

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 be-cause 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.

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

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 ceremo-nies, memorial services and funerals.

BackgroundOn August 31, 1949, Louis Johnson,

who was the United States’ Secretary of Defense, announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace sepa-rate Army, Navy and Air Force Days. The event stemmed from the armed forces’ unification under one depart-ment – 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 sup-ports Armed Forces Day too.

The first Armed Forces Day was cel-ebrated on Saturday, May 20, 1950. The theme for that day was “Teamed for Defense,” which expressed the unifi-cation of all military forces under one government department. According to

ARMED FORCES DAYCont’d. from Page 3

the U.S. Department of Defense, the day was designed to expand public understanding of what type of job was performed and the role of the military in civilian life.

Armed Forces Day was a day for the military to show “state-of-the-art” equipment to Americans. It was also a day to honor and acknowledge Ameri-cans in the armed forces. Parades, open

houses, receptions and air shows were held at the inaugural Armed Forces Day. Armed Forces Day is still cele-brated nationwide today and is part of Armed Forces Week.

Appreciation Month

May is

By Gene Harper,American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON — Both chambers of the U.S. Congress have adopted a reso-lution calling for Americans to recog-nize and honor U.S. service members during May’s National Military Appre-ciation 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 concur-ring, “supports the goals and objectives of a National Mili-tary Appre-ciation 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 hon-or 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 ex-ample, Public Service Recognition Week, celebrated the first full Monday through Sunday in May since 1985, recognizes the roles of public ser-vants, 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. installa-

tions. The larg-est PSRW event takes place on Washington’s National Mall, where more

than 100 federal agencies, includ-ing 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 Memo-rial 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 pro-motes one minute of silence at 3 p.m. local time to honor the military’s fallen comrades and to pay tribute to the sac-rifices by the nation’s service members and veterans.

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 Memo-rial Day by visiting cemeteries or me-morials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, at least, it marks the beginning of sum-mer.

Early observances ofMemorial Day

The Civil War claimed more lives than any conflict in U.S. history, requir-ing 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 sol-diers, decorating their graves with flowers and reciting prayers.

It is unclear where exactly this tra-dition 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 cel-ebrated the day on May 5, 1866—was chosen because it hosted an annual, community-wide event, during which businesses closed and residents deco-rated the graves of soldiers with flow-ers and flags.

Decoration DayOn 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 de-fense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and ham-let churchyard in the land,” he pro-claimed. The date of Decoration Day, as he called it, was chosen because it wasn’t the anniversary of any particu-lar battle.

On the first Decoration Day, General James Garfield made a speech at Ar-lington 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

Mountainsout of mole hills

By Richard MatzPublisher

If you’re a politician, a pretend preacher, or an organization with an agenda to make the general pub-lic take their eye off the ball and make an old, rich, ignorant white guy a moun-tain out of a mole hill, you’ve accom-plished your mission! I’m referring to the NBA Clippers owner Donald Ster-ling. I can’t possibly believe that he’s more important than jobs for all Amer-icans, health insurance, illegal immi-gration, poverty, IRS scandal, Beng-hazi 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. I’ve interviewed the likes of Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Doc Rivers (Boston Celtics), Michael Jordan, Scotty Pippin, Dennis Rodman (Chicago Bulls), Wilt

THE DONALD STERLING FIASCO

Commentary

Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Magic Johnson, and Norm Nixon (L.A. Lakers). Norm was my buddy and was traded to the then San Diego Clippers. I attended the first Clipper game and Donald Sterling was sitting court side ..he had to much cerveza ..took his shirt off ..was bare chested and used his shirt like a Pittsburgh Steelers terrible towel ..

I know that Doc Rivers, Chris Paul,

Blake Griffin and all the other great players are too professional and dedi-cated to their fans to let the likes of Donald Sterling affect their one and only goal of winning the coveted NBA championship trophy!

If you ask me, if any NBA owner would pay me 1 to 20 million dollars a year to play a sport I love, he could call me anything he wanted to… and then I’d ask you, “WHO’S THE FOOL?”

Who hasn’t made racial, sexist or damning remarks?

How fair would it be if your private conversations (about any subject) were taped without your permission? The subject matter could be about your wife, your family, your mother-in-law,

your fellow workers, your boss, race, gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals, trans-vestites or any controversial matter? If we’re going to be completely hon-est, 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 be-forehand that the conversation is being taped. Even in criminal cases, permis-sion has to be granted by a judge. This Donald Sterling debacle has farther reaching implications about privacy issues. We must at all cost protect the Fourth Amendment to the Constitu-tion… Unlawful Search and Sei-zures.

A previous as-signment was to get dressed one morning with your spouse in mind. In other words, rather than think-ing about what YOU want to wear, pick clothes that in some way connect to your spouse. Maybe you wore some-thing your spouse gave you as a gift. Or maybe you wore something you know your spouse thinks you look great in.

This week, I want you to turn your attention to YOUR SPOUSE’S ward-robe.

Think about what you like your spouse to wear. What color do you think looks best on them? Don’t you just love it when your spouse wears...

Your assignment for this week is to ask your spouse to wear something in particular for you. Why? Because it demonstrates that you care, that you’re thinking about them, and that you’re connected to them. Why else would it matter to you what they wear?

“Honey, why don’t you wear that blue shirt today that you look so nice in?”

“Can you wear your dress watch to-day?”

“I love the way you look in that v-neck you got for your birthday last year. Why don’t you wear that to the

Darling, you look marvelous

party tonight?”“You haven’t

worn that sexy un-derwear in a while. Do you feel like wearing it today?”

This demon-strates to your spouse that you’re

tuned into them and that what they do matters to you. It shows that you care about the details of their life. It’s a sign that you’re connected even to the clothes on their back. Basically, it’s a simple way to say, ‘I notice you.’

Here’s a related bonus idea for this week. Instead of asking your spouse to wear something that’s in their closet, buy them a gift and give it to them just when you want them to wear it.

For example, let’s say you have a graduation celebration to go to next Sunday. Buy something special your spouse, give it to them the morning of the occasion, and tell them you bought it especially for them to wear today.

Once again, this demonstrates that you really feel that you’re going to this celebration TOGETHER. And that you’re involved in the details of their life. Remember: “Love is in the de-tails.”

Have a great week!

So… you’ve been working out reguarly, making smart nutritional choices that fo-cus 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. Frus-tration 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. SleepGetting your beauty sleep is more

important than you probably thought! Of course, just because you start sleep-ing more doesn’t mean you’ll auto-matically 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.

time, our bodies become more efficient at that movement, resulting in burning fewer calories. Try varying the volume

and intensity of your ex-ercises, incorporate

cross training, and try something new.

3. StressTake a deep

breath! No really, relax, even if it is

for two minutes. When you experi-

ence a stress-ful situation, your body

produces the hor-mone, cor-

tisol, 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 nec-essary. With pro-

longed 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 in-creased body fat (especially around the belly).

Chronic stress is also linked to de-pression that can lead to a higher con-sumption of food. One recent study found that obese people had a 55% in-creased 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 re-sults,” 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.

3 reasons you’re not losing weightFrom the obvious (when you’re tired you may mindlessly grub) to the not so

obvious (excess cortisol and in-creased insulin), sleep is as impor-tant to monitor as your calories and your activity.

There are two pesky little hor-

mones 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 eat-ing 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 every-one is swamped in life and beauty sleep is a luxury but we all have the same 24 hours, its all about time planning.

HEALTH

By Lori Serratto,Family Resiliency TrainerFOCUS San Diego

The arrival of summer is an exciting time for kids and families. Summer time al-lows for more freedom and re-laxed schedules than during the school year. It is also a perfect time to go away on a long vacation or visit local attractions. While a shift to the sum-mer schedule can mean more opportu-nities for fun, it may also bring more confusion since most plans vary by day and by family member. Setting up a summer schedule that works well for you and your children can be challenge but a little planning goes a long way. A Family Calendar will help ensure that your family’s transition into this year’s summer schedule is a smooth one!

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 mem-bers are able to pass by the calendar and be reminded of upcoming events. Your family can use the calendar to schedule family meetings and fam-ily outings, and to track family goals. The calendar also allows parents and children to schedule their own impor-tant 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. Chil-dren also learn that their plans and wishes matter.

How to create aFamily 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 high-light special events like birthdays, holi-days, homecomings, and other impor-tant 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 deploy-ment) check out our website at www.focusproject.org.

Notes: Deployments and homecom-ings are important dates to put on the Family Calendar, but keep in mind that those plans and dates can change, of-ten 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

FOCUS: Strengthening the Home Base

Family Calendarsand homecomings and how your family will deal with those schedule changes.

Families who have a deployed par-ent can save the calendar, and dur-ing reunification, family members can sit together to highlight how they spent their time while the

parent was away from the home. This type of family discussion can be help-ful in re-establishing the connection with the recently returned parent. Care should be taken to have this talk at a slow pace to allow the recently re-turned parent to adjust to home life.

FOCUS (Families OverCom-ing Under Stress) is a resiliency-building program of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED). FOCUS is an eight-session training program for military families that is grounded in more than two decades of research and experience serving fami-lies dealing with stress and changes. FO-

CUS is specifical-ly adapted for the needs of military couples, children, and families and provides training in core resilience skills. These skills increase

Lawmakers have moved to tighten congressional control over U.S. Spe-cial Operations Command’s new “Iron Man” battle suit, expressing concerns that program officials are already mis-handling 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 Hol-lywood blockbusters such Iron Man.

The Tactical Assault Light Op-erators Suit effort, known as TALOS, would provide operators with full-body ballistic protection and increased phys-ical 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 ef-forts 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 sur-vey current technologies and to bet-ter inform future requirements docu-ments, 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 prop-erly coordinated with related or com-plementary efforts at the Defense Ad-vanced Research Projects Agency and the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Command.”

The bill’s language includes guide-lines to go with SOCOM’S $17.5 million budget request to support TALOS.

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 mili-tary wives, see how essential the link is for dads with their children. No one knows more than you what a tremen-dous 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 on-line. Even when dads are home, there is always the thought of the next as-signment or the next deployment that foreshadows more time apart.

We salute the strength of our mili-tary families. We salute the men on Father’s Day weekend! We want this to be a time of commemoration to our he-roes, 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 Fa-ther’s Day Festival and Prostate Cancer Screening and Awareness Walk on June 14th, 2014, with Sears and the San Di-ego Classic Lions Club at the Univer-sity Towne Center Mall at 4575 La Jolla Village Drive. The Walk route will take participants from Sears to the new Na-tional 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 lead-ing cause of cancer death in Ameri-can 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 environmen-tal responsibility, preservation of our

resources and living creatures that in-habit our planet, and financial self-suf-ficiency to our next generation of lead-ers. We host community educational events along with electronic recycling collections throughout California. We have taken on this cause to assure that the men in our lives are able to have the best treatment and care regard-less of their financial situation.

So, grab a pledge form! Get your neighbors and friends involved! Band together and come as a group! Make a sign or carry a flag so we know who you are! En-joy the walk! Bring your electronic recyclables. And yes, stay for the free festival and pet expo af-terwards!

Story and photos by Douglas AguillardWhile nothing can match actual aer-

ial 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 Ma-rine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Mira-mar, 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 Train-ing System, or simply called the “Simu-lators.”

There are flight simulators here both for the Boeing/MD F/A-18 “Hor-net” and the Lockheed C-130 “Her-cules.” They are computer controlled and feature animated moving video on large video screens surrounding the pi-lot. 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 differ-ence from your home computer is that the computer programs for the simu-lators 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-

THE EDGE: teaching and keeping it

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 immedi-ately. 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 Stan-dardization Officer.

Before being assigned to his cur-rent 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

include: seven Air Medals; two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Med-als; the National Defense Service Med-al; the Iraq Campaign Medal; the Glob-al War on Terrorism Service Medal; and five Sea Service Deployment Ribbons.

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. Ma-rine 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 chair-man of the Joint Chiefs, defended lowering the appropriation for the Defense Commissary Agency in in-crements, starting with $200 million next year, and suggesting the initial impact at least would be modest.

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.

Starting this spring, more than 400,000 military retirees and senior dependents in the Tricare for Life pro-gram will owe the full amount for cer-tain 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, supplement-ing Medicare. Tricare for Life accounts for nearly half of the $7.1 billion that

Tricare for Life cuts discounts for 400kthe 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. Pre-scriptions for pain relievers, antibiotics and other medicines for acute condi-tions aren’t affected.

With the program, members can fill eligible prescriptions three times at a retail outlet, usually a 30-day sup-ply 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 Ex-press Scripts mail service or nothing when they use a base pharmacy.

Picking out a new house can be ex-citing 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 tiebreak-er 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 af-ford it. “As you calculate, look beyond the listing price,” says Steve Jones, as-sociate 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 real-tor with Coldwell Banker High Country Realty in Blue Ridge, Georgia. “I be-lieve that most buyers form an impres-sion 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.”

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 posi-tive ‘thumbs-up’ for Telesco’s choices. Here’s a look at your San Diego Char-gers 2014 draft class.

Round 1:Jason Verrett; CB; TCU

Regarded as one of the top five cor-nerbacks in the draft, the only real con-cern 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 Ver-rett is a tough, instinctive player who

Jason Verrett (front).

By Arthur Garcia

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 play-ers rather than rooting for a particular team. He says his father gave him some valuable advice as a kid and develop-ing 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 mo-tivated and try to be the number one guy,” Verrett said while quoting his fa-ther’s advice.

“The chip came from me not being the biggest guy out there,” he contin-ued. “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 Il-lustrated Draft Analyst Chris Burke on Verrett: “Without having to sac-rifice any ad-ditional picks and trade up, the Chargers scored a cor-nerback that’s clearly among the top five at his position in this class. Heck, Ver-rett 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. Jus-tin Gilbert, Kyle Fuller and Darqueze Dennard were the cornerbacks taken above him. Don’t be surprised if Ver-rett 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 out-side linebacker,” Telesco said. “We traded up for Jerry. ... He’s a player we had targeted for a long time and actu-ally 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 re-lentless. 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 af-ter 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 na-tion. In 2012, he started all 13 games as Notre Dame went 12-1 and played Alabama in the National Champion-ship 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 lev-el too – you’re talking about a top col-lege program against top level com-petition and he’s been very produc-tive.”

“He’s one of the smart-est, 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 Ar-kansas 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 wres-tling 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,” Tele-sco 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; ex-cellent 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 pro-ductive player who got in on a lot of tackles and has great instincts for the nose tackle position.”

Round 6Marion Grice; RB;Arizona State

Sometimes the direction of the draft dictates your decision in select-ing 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 sea-son, his 234 points scored is the high-est two-season mark in Arizona State’s history. He clocked in at 4.54 in the 40-yard 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 Ari-

MOTORCYCLES

The year 1946 was an important one in many respects, with one of them be-ing the hiring of the first international player in the National Basketball Asso-ciation: Henry Biasatti, who was born in Italy and raised in Canada. Sixty-eight 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: $22,721,381Like a fine German wine, Dirk

seems to only be getting better — well, at least not worse — with age. After

5 foreign NBA players making bank

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 aver-age 20 points after turning 35. His true

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.

2. Pau Gasol, Spain• Team: Los Angeles Lakers• Salary: $19,285,850After 12 years in the league, “The

Meal Ticket” Gasol still boasts respect-able numbers: 15.8 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks — not his best, but not terrible, either. With an expiring con-tract 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: $14,860,523Though 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 fran-chise. 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 inSudan and laterimmigrated to the U.K.

• Team: Cleveland Cavaliers• Salary: $14,275,000Deng, who was offered a non-nego-

tiable, 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 undoubt-edly 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 enter-ing the NBA as a tribute to his mother, Martha, who had nine children.

5. Andrew Bogut, Australia• Team: Golden State Warriors• Salary: $14,000,000Though 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

Just for

LaughsNice try though

A little girl wants to walk her dog, but her father says that she can’t be-cause the dog is in heat. After a mo-ment’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…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 to-day, as the day you met me!”

Paddy replied, “I know!! That’s be-cause one’s in your porridge and the other’s in your coffee. Lean back sweet-heart”

Chinese babyA 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.”

I fish on FridaysA husband and wife came

for counseling after 20 years of mar-riage. 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 ther-apist 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 qui-etly 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-

ment and replied, “Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish.”

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 en-dowed. 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 want-ed 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.”

She was firedAn Emergency Call Center worker

in London, Ontario, has been dismissed from her job, much to the dismay of col-leagues who are reportedly unhappy with her treatment.

It seems a male caller dialed 911 from a cell phone stating, “I am de-pressed 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 BibleThree boys look for a summer job.

Their preacher agrees to let them sell Bibles door to door, though he’s hesi-tant about hiring the third boy because he suffers from a speech impediment.

After the first week of work they all


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 impedi-

ment 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 t-t-them.”

Randy roosterA 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 ven-dor, 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 disbe-lief, cried out, “Stop, Randy, you’ll kill yourself!” But Randy continued, seek-ing out each farm animal in the same manner.

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 al-ready circling above Randy.

The farmer walked up to Randy say-ing, “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.”

Different girlThe 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 cou-ple 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.”

StressJoe 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 fa-ther 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.

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 speed-ster who finished his career with 187 receptions; 3,102 yards; 24 touchdowns; and an average of 16.6 yards a recep-tion. Reese was a three-year starter whose speed and ability to outrun cov-erage 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 much-needed speed the receiver corps des-perately 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 Jer-emiah.

“He’s fast enough that you can start back peddling 15 yards and he’ll still run by you. He’s one of the reasons why

they didn’t throw to the running backs at all – they just pushed it downfield. A dislocated wrist ended his season early last year; a very slight frame; but as you saw – he can run and go get it,” NFL Network Analyst Charles Davis.

The Endzone:As witnessed by former Chargers

Lionel ‘Little Train’ James, Andre Cole-man, Doug Flutie, Darren Sproles and current Charger Danny Woodhead – it’s not the physical size or speed of the player that matters.

Rather, it’s the size of the player’s heart, along with a big chip on the shoulder that often determines one’s success and longevity in the NFL (see

Wes Welker). After viewing his high-light film and listening to him talk confidently about his ability on the football field, it’s going to be exciting watching Verrett battle it out on Sun-days with some of the best receivers the NFL has to offer – especially in the AFC West.

events and reprised the tradition in subsequent years; by 1890 each one had made Decoration Day an official state holiday. Many Southern states, on the other hand, continued to honor their dead on separate days until after World War I.

Evolution of Memorial DayMemorial 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 em-broiled in another major conflict, and the holiday evolved to commemorate American military personnel who died in all wars.

For decades, Memorial Day con-tinued to be observed on May 30, the date Logan had selected for the first Decoration Day. But in 1968 Congress

MEMORIAL DAYCont’d. from Page 6

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 traditionsCities and towns across the United

States host Memorial Day parades each year, often incorporating military per-sonnel and members of veterans’ orga-nizations. Some of the largest parades take place in Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C. Americans also ob-serve Memorial Day by visiting ceme-teries and memorials. On a less somber note, many people throw parties and barbecues on the holiday, perhaps be-cause it unofficially marks the begin-ning of summer.
