The Sea & Air Parade will feature Navy ships parading with two “Tall Ships” and a sky race with world-class pilots demontrating air racing. The Navy’s Surface Force headquarters in San Diego confirmed this week that five Navy warships will be involved in the parade. They are “small boys” USS Gary (FFG 51), USS Kidd (DDG 100), USS Preble (DDG 88), USS Lake Champlain (CG 57) and dock landing ship USS Rushmore (LSD 47). Combined, the ships represent crews of approximately 1,600 enlisted and officer crewmembers. While Parade organizers r ea lize th e imp o r tan ce of today’s military and the local presence of the Navy, they also know the importance that other ships play in sea warfare. Tall Ships Californian and HMS Surprise will compete in a mock battle in the bay. In her prime, Surprise was a French corvette until it was captured in 1796 by the British. Itr was then renamed HMS Surprise, rearmed with carronades and classed as a 28-gun frigate. With USS Ronald Reagan in port across the bay at North Island, expect some aircraft touch n’ goes on the carrier's flight deck. Normally, those landings only occur at sea when air squadrons are embarked during training underway periods and depoyment. The Air Race is a competition in which the pilots are up against each other in a race based on speed, precision and skill. One of the best features of the Air Race is that the aircraft are up close and personal. “What makes the Air Race so exciting and interesting for spectators is the proximity of the contest to the crowds,” said Kelli Herwehe of the public relations firm Strategy Communications. “Low level flying on a relatively compact course means that people can really experience all the action close-up.” Air Race competition features a new discipline of flying known as air racing, as pilots navigate a challenging race course in the sky, in the fastest possible time. As an individual sport, air racing pits each pilot against a clock while they execute tight turns through a slalom course consisting of air gates, which are specially designed pylons. Pilots compete in knockout rounds with the SAN DIEGO -- USS Boxer (LHD 4), along with various embarked units and non-governmental organizations departed San Diego Monday en route to Latin America for the Pacific Phase of Continuing Promise 2008. CP 2008 is a U.S. Southern Command operation, carried out under the operational control of U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command, SOUTHCOM’s Naval component command. “We are partnering with our neighbors to provide construction capabilities ashore, basic primary health care, dentistry, environmental health care, optometry, biomedical repair, training and even veterinary care,” said Capt. Peter Dallman, commander of PHIBRON 5. see photo, page 12 Mercy deploys on Pacific Partnership ‘08 SAN DIEGO - Hospital ship USNS Mercy was scheduled to deploy from San Diego on May 1, kicking off Pacific Partnership 2008. A humanitarian civic assistance (HCA) mission, Pacific Partnership brings together host nation medical personnel, partner nation military medical and construction personnel, and non-governmental organizations to provide medical, dental, construction and other services HCA ashore and afloat in Southeast Asia and Oceania. The four-month deployment will strengthen the goodwill developed during previous HCA missions, such as the 2004 tsunami relief efforts and last year’s USS Peleliu Pacific Partnership. Seal Beach wins conservation award Sailors aboard USS Rushmore will be parading this Saturday morning in the Sea Parade on San Diego Bay. Here, Rushmore has her flags raised and pennants displayed in preparation for dress ship. Navy photo by MC3 Drew Williams two fastest pilots going head to head in the final. For spectators who aren’t able to join in the pay-to-view, prime viewing aboard the USS Midway Museum, there are spots along the harbor for viewing both the ship parade and the air racing. The best spots might be on Harbor Island next to Island Prime Restaurant. According to Herwehe, “military families will get access to special viewing areas to see the parade by pier papa.” Due the increased popularity of the Sea & Air Parade, there will be 4,000 more parking spots than last year. Check for signs in downtown. T h e s h i p ’s P a r a d e i s scheduled to kick off around 11 a . m . S a t u r d a y, b u t spectators along the Harbor Island area should expect for the parade to be in place around 10:30 a.m. Air racing preshow starts at 1, and the races begin at 2.

To FCPOs: Great expectations from MCPON by MCCS(SW/AW) Bill Houlihan WASHINGTON - Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) (SW/FMF) Joe R. Campa Jr. has made his expectations of the Navy’s first class petty officer community a public priority of his the last six months. During the recent annual Petty Officer First Class Leadership Symposium held in Washington, he left no doubt in the minds of more than 400 attendees that the Navy expects them to meet the responsibility of being first class petty officers and that Sailors depend on their first line leadership. His appearance kicked off a week featuring briefs on topics such as the chief petty officer selection board process to mentorship and sailorization. Campa used the opportunity to remind the first class petty officers what their first priority should be. “You are in the best position to influence Sailors,” said Campa. “Now I want you to look at those expectations (of the first class petty officer) and use them to determine whether you’re doing everything to meet your individual responsibilities and your responsibilities as a first class mess.” For the full story, log on to www.news.navy.mil.

Named first among small commands throughout the Armed Forces, the award honors the base for its continuing commitment to natural resources management and the protection of endangered, threatened and at-risk species. “For a small installation, there is a lot going on,” said Navy Natural Resources Conservation Manager Bob Schallmann. “We try to look at the station at an ecosystem and regional level. This means managing all of our programs for the good of the whole without an adverse impact on the military mission.” About 911 acres of primarily salt marshland aboard the base were designated as a National Wildlife Refuge in 1972. Contributing to the station’s security and acting as an explosives safety buffer, this land is also host to a wide range of state and federally-listed endangered and threatened species. SAVE GAS!

Kruzel ASHINGTON - If the U.S. military lost its politically neutral footing, the armed forces would surrender the public’s trust, a senior U.S. military officer who explained a new Defense Department directive on troops’ political activity said in an interview. “If we do appear to be influenced by our own views or our own understanding of how things should be, we’re going to lose the public trust,” Army Col. Shawn Shumake, director of legal policy within the Office of the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, told the Pentagon Channel. “We’re going to lose the confidence that’s so important and that the military has maintained for so many years.” To reinforce the military’s apolitical position, the Defense Department has renewed its emphasis on the rules limiting what troops may or may not do within the political arena, Shumake said. The new version of a department-issued directive titled “Political Activities by Members of the Armed Forces” became effective Feb. 19 and replaces the previous version, released in August 2004. It adds two sections that discuss candidacy and campaigning issues pertaining to former military members, retirees and current military reservists running for elected office. Under certain circumstances, some reserve-component members can run for or hold elective political office, Shumake said in an interview with American Forces Press Service. Yet, there is “a right way and a wrong way to do that,” he stressed, noting the new language describing those issues. The directive outlines specific rules pertaining to cases of regular, retired and reservecomponent servicemembers holding elective or appointed office within the U.S. government, Shumake said, including elected positions with state, territorial, county or municipal governments. In addition, the revised directive requires military members holding such positions to apply for and secure the approval of their individual service secretaries. Shumake noted that the requirement for service secretarial approval depends on the length of the servicemember’s call or order to active duty. Active-duty servicemembers are strictly prohibited from campaigning for political office or actively taking part in a political campaign - even behind the scenes - and the revised directive specifies what active-duty members may or may not do regarding political activities, he added. “The reason behind the limitations on political activities is the military has to be seen as exercising unvarnished military judgment,” Shumake told the Pentagon Channel. “We’ve got to make sure that the people understand that the military is not influenced by the events of the day and what could be considered partisan politics.” “Military Real Estate Services” Looking for a “Realtor” to work with that you can trust, who really understands the military?

THE DISPATCH/AT EASE PAGE 3 Navy has new national Dale Jr. recruiting program TALLADEGA, Ala. - The U.S. Navy and NASCAR’s five-time most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., announced April 25 the formation of the Dale Jr. Division, an 88-person boot camp division at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes. Potential Sailors will be able to start signing up for the division, May 24, at their local recruiting station. To officially launch the division, Earnhardt Jr. will drive the JR Motorsports No. 83 Navy Dale Jr. Division Monte Carlo SS in the CARQUEST Auto Parts 300 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, May 24. The national recruiting effort is the first of its kind for the Navy, and will be supported by a national advertising and marketing campaign. “This is the first time we’ve developed a national-level recruiting program, focused on the synergy of the Navy and a high performing, nonmilitary partner,” said Capt. Jack Hanzlik, Chief of Naval Personnel, public affairs officer. “NASCAR is a high-tech sport and the type of equipment, teamwork and commitment required to be a winning organization is very similar to what it takes to succeed in the Navy - that’s why we’ve partnered with the top team in the industry. “Everything JR Motorsports does is centered around excellence, teamwork and professional development and that squarely places them in that number one seat, and that’s where the Navy sits in the defense of our Nation. The Navy is constantly seeking to bring aboard the most talented young men and women that represent our diverse nation. Uh rah! Warrior Day For those who want to join an organization that offers tremendous opportunity and the chance to make a difference in our global future, join the Navy Dale Jr. Division.” Recruits who sign up for the Dale Jr. Division will ship to Recruit Training Command in late August and the division will be commissioned by Earnhardt Jr. after initial in-processing. Earnhardt Jr. will again visit “his” recruits upon completion of their seven-to-eight week course. “JR Motorsports has enjoyed a great relationship with the Navy for several years now,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “Through that relationship I’ve been able to meet a number of Sailors from various commands and it’s always cool to hear their stories and learn more about what they do to protect and serve our country. I’m honored to be a part of the Navy’s first-ever national recruiting campaign, and I look forward to going up to Great Lakes to commission them once all 88 recruits are in place.” PENSACOLA, Fla. (April 18, 2008) - Service members assigned to the Center for Information Dominance Corry Station run laps to loosen up before a 1.5 mile run to start Warrior Day. The field day focuses on team events such as volleyball, football, softball and a tug-of-war.

Marianas Islands, and Palau. “So this unit is really transnational in its composition,” Zukunft said. The Micronesia Regional Transnational Unit opened April 23 in Pohnpei, Micronesia, to promote information sharing critical to stemming the flow of drugs, particularly methamphetamines, throughout Asia and the Pacific, said Rear Adm. Paul F. Zukunft, commander of Joint Interagency Task Force West. by MC3 Alan Gragg MAYPORT, Fla. - Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Gary Roughead announced recently the reestablishment of U.S. 4th Fleet and assigned Rear Adm. Joseph D. Kernan, currently serving as Commander, Naval Special Warfare Command, as its first commander. JIATF West, U.S. Pacific Command’s element focused on drug-related threats in the region, provided $460,000 to refurbish a 10,000-squarefoot facility and equip it with communications and computer equipment, Zukunft said. U.S. 4th Fleet will be responsible for U.S. Navy ships, aircraft and submarines operating in the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) area of focus, which encompasses the Caribbean, and Central and South America and the surrounding waters. The task force also is training operators at the new facility “to, in simplistic terms, connect the dots to look at emerging trends,” Zukunft said. The Australian National Police will provide a full-time mentor to support the unit for the first year. Operators in the unit represent not just the Federated States of Micronesia, but also the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Kiribati, the Commonwealth of the Northern The unit is the sixth in the region, all linked to the Australian Federal Police’s Intelligence gathered through the new unit will support Mi- cronesia’s three patrol boats, provided through Australia’s Pacific Patrol Boat Program to monitor against ocean-borne threats. “Absent acute information, it is very cost-ineffective to just send those patrol boats out at random without any Navy reestablishes Fourth Fleet in Mayport Located in Mayport, Fla., and dual-hatted with Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command (COMUSNAVSO), U.S. 4th Fleet reestablishment addresses the increased role of maritime forces in the SOUTHCOM area of focus, and demonstrates U.S. commitment to regional partners. “Reconstituting the Fourth Fleet recognizes the immense importance of maritime California Collision Center Lifetime Warranty Perfect Color Match Quality Frame Work 24-Hour Towing Pacific Transnational Crime Coordination Center in Samoa.

During World War II, the U.S. needed a command in charge of protecting against raiders, blockade runners and enemy submarines in the South Atlantic. U.S. 4th Fleet was disestablished in 1950 when U.S. 2nd Fleet took over its responsibilities. Initially, the new 4th Fleet will be headquartered with C O M U S N AV S O a n d t a k e advantage of the existing infrastructure, communications support and personnel already in place in Mayport. As a result, U.S. 4th Fleet will not involve an increase in forces assigned in Mayport. “This is a significant change and presents us the opportunity to garner the right resources for the missions we run for Southern Command,” said Rear Adm. James W. Stevenson Jr., Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command (NAVSO). “As a numbered fleet, we will be in a better position to ensure the Combatant Commander has the right assets available when needed.” U.S. 4th Fleet will retain responsibility as COMUSNAVSO, the Navy component command for SOUTHCOM. Its mission is to direct U.S. naval forces operating in the Caribbean, Central and South American regions and interact with partner nation navies within the maritime environment. Various operations include counter-illicit trafficking, Theater Security Cooperation, military-to-military interaction and bilateral and multinational training.

In addition, many have nearly unlimited resources, which he said “puts law enforcement, obviously, at an extreme disadvantage.” Zukunft cited a strong correlation between areas with high drug-interdiction rates and those with strong informationsharing protocols that bolster law enforcement capability. This, in turn, supports good governance that discourages transnational criminals. “The bad guys typically will look for paths of least resistance, where rule of law is weak,” Zukunft said. “It is an opportunity for them to exploit, … and that’s what we are working to prevent.” JIATF West has been supporting the U.S. counterdrug e ff o r t s i n c e 1 9 8 9 I t w a s redesignated JIATF West in 1994, then moved four years ago to Camp H.M.

UNITAS, Latin for “unity,” is a 49-year-old annual exercise designed to enhance friendly, mutual cooperation, understanding and interoperability for participating navies through cultural exchanges and maritime warfare and maritime interdiction operations scenarios. Commander, Destroyer Squadron 40, Capt. Rodelio Laco Jr., described the mission of UNITAS as working together to solve common issues and to engage with maritime partners in the hemisphere. “By increasing interoperability, information sharing and cooperation, we can collectively improve the maritime security of the hemisphere, which will ensure the free flow of maritime trade,” Laco said. “Our mutual economies highly depend upon maritime shipping to keep them thriving and it is in our mutual interest to protect the freedom of the seas.” Laco stressed the Navy’s new maritime strategy as a key element of UNITAS 49-08. “We’re attempting to engage our partner navies of Brazil and Argentina on multiple levels,” Laco said. “Multinational task groups will include Sailor exchanges and cultural sharing while participating in complex and sophisticated scenarios beneficial to all participating navies.” Navy Dispatch/AT EASE wants you to be a WINNER!

During the 40 Capitol Hill office visits, shipmates discussed priority legislative issues including FRA’s opposition to proposed TRICARE fee increases and the Association’s support for MGIB reform with a focus on allowing VEAP era members to have access to MGIB, elimination of enrollment fees, and adequate benefits to cover college costs. Each member of Congress received point papers outlining FRA’s position on these important issues, in addition to the Association’s full legislative agenda.

These dedicated private citizens prove that one person can make a difference in the lives of our veterans.” To become a volunteer, contact the nearest VA facility, or complete a form on the Internet at www.va.gov/volunteer.

Legislation introduced FRA staff (NED Joe Barnes and DLP John Davis) and personnel from several other organizations met this week with staff from the Senate Armed Services’ Personnel Subcommittee, Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, and staff from the offices of Senators John McCain (Ariz.), Richard Burr (N.C.), and Lindsey Graham (S.C.) to discuss specific legislative provisions to reform the current Montgomery GI Bill program. FRA staff also attended a Capitol Hill press conference to announce the soon-to-beintroduced “The Enhancement of Recruitment, Retention, and Readjustment through Education Act” sponsored by Graham, Burr and McCain. The Association is the leading advocate for offering an open enrollment period for VEAP-era senior enlisted personnel who currently have no education benefits, and also seek increasing the benefit to keep pace with escalating college costs. These and other concerns about the current MGIB program are frequently mentioned in FRA testimony befo re Congress. The bill will be introduced next week and will provide $500 a year for books (new provision); increases monthly payment from $1,100 to $1,500; increases monthly payment to $2,000 for those with 12 years of service or more; transferability of benefits to dependents for those with 12 years of service or more; increases payments for Reserve Component from $317 to $634 per month; and allows certain VEAP-era personnel who were on active duty on 9/11/01 to access MGIB. Authorization moves forward As predicted in last week’s Newsbytes, the stalled FY 2008 Coast Guard Authorization bill (H.R. 2830) was approved by the House this week. The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration. FRA addressed the legislation in statements submitted to the House Coast Guard and Maritime Subcommittee in February and the Senate Oceans, Atmospheric, Fisheries, and Coast Guard Subcommittee in March.

This summer, berries give a healthy boost In the past, eating raspberries and blackberries meant picking fruit from thorny bushes. Today, reaping the berry harvest means nothing more than a trip to a farmers’ market or grocery store. miracle foods. No, they can’t cure every ailment, but with a high fiber content, vitamin C and plenty of antioxidants, berries certainly give a person that healthy glow. Berries are easy to use and Cooked, raw or frozen, black- versatile, suiting every meal churchofgoodshepherdVBS berries and raspberries seem like from breakfast to dessert.

Adding berries to pancake batter or cereal is always quick and easy, but berries’ fresh flavors can also inspire endless creativity. Berries, greens, shrimp or chicken, and slivered almonds tossed in homemade raspberry vinaigrette make for an elegant summer meal. Fresh berries complement a mild blue or fresh chevre on any cheese plate. Berries can add zip to sangria, jazz up an otherwise humdrum baked salmon or freshen a classic cobbler. Raspberries and blackberries certainly boost one summer favorite -; the ice cream soda.

However, with the rising value of the Euro, the ability for many of these families to enroll their children has been challenged. Magellan Study Abroad’s philosophy of “Quality, Safety and Affordability” provides families a unique opportunity to realize the very best study abroad experience. Magellan’s programs include many “extras” such as all American High School teacher chaperones, home stay families, cultural activities and comprehensive travel insurance. Although the host coun- tries provide native language instructors in their schools, Magellan requires all summer chaperone staff to be U.S. high school language teachers who have superior knowledge of the target language and destination countries, in addition to having a good rapport with teens. Shari Kaulig, AP Spanish teacher at Los Alamitos High School, has lead teen tours for 20 years, and has worked with Magellan’s founder for years. “Many of our students write their college entrance essays about life-changing study abroad experiences, and a Magellan experience can certainly fuel that all important essay,” says Ms. Kaulig. “After living the culture and speaking the language for nearly 4 weeks, these experiences dramatically increase language comprehension and fluency, adding the confidence they need to tackle a higher level of language studies and succeed in their Advanced Placement Language exams.” young people as I can, which is why I keep a sharp eye on our program fees.” is awesome and one that I am most excited about.” Billy H., Harvard-Westlake School Total immersion in the culture provides a different experience for the typical American teen. This is not just any summer camp. To augment their classroom learning, students live with local families in order to fully experience their unique daily routines.meals, family conversations, and family outings. Chris Chabaudie, founder of Magellan , “Students are exposed to a foreign perspective, allowing them to experience a different way of life - as a resident, not as a tourist. I don’t want finances to be an impediment to a curious young mind, which needs to be nurtured and challenged. Because of my own personal experience with study travel programs at a young age, I want to offer these unique experiences to as many A myriad of activities adds a “fun” element to what teens could potentially view as “a boring summer of study.” Even the most jaded minds are met with activities that encourage young people to stretch beyond their comfort zone - flamenco dancing, anyone? While students have their own leisure time, many afternoons and evenings are filled with art workshops, visits to historical sites, and activities that include local teens. Who says learning has to always occur in the classroom? “I have traveled with Chris for three summers with three different experiences, and every year I come home with a better appreciation for Spain and the Spanish people. I am very comfortable there. The travel portion of the program With student safety at the heart of each Magellan program, the company provides every student with comprehensive travel insurance provided by Royal Bank of Canada Insurance. This coverage includes: travel accident, medical, baggage, trip cancellation and trip interruption insurance, providing protection as soon as the first payment is received in Magellan’s office. To ensure quality and safety, the company limits the number of program participants, at times closing programs early to the disappointment of late enrollees. Because their programs are operated entirely by Magellan staff, from chaperoned group flights departing major US hubs to Magellan staffed excursions and activities in the host country, there are no tour package resellers or third party brokers involved. This way, Magellan achieves the highest quality while keeping costs down, in spite of a strong Euro. “We’re trying to add more programs to accommodate growth, but our growth will continue to match our values: No program will be launched that doesn’t meet our strict criteria for high educational value and safety at an affordable price,” says Mr. Chabaudie.

When it comes to floor covering, making a “green” choice is easier than ever. Green refers to a substance or manufacturing method that uses renewable or sometimes raw and/or recycled material or energy sources. Nonrenewable materials are those that come from sources that once depleted are gone forever. In addition to green flooring products, there is another category called “sustainable.” Sustainable flooring products are those that minimize impact on the environment at each phase of their life cycle. “Some of the most popular green products include cork, bamboo and linoleum,” said Christopher Davis, president of the World Floor Covering Association. “Many new and existing flooring products qualify as sustainable, including recycled/reclaimed wood and carpet; natural carpets made from cotton, wools and grass; ceramic tiles; stone; chlorinefree, resilient, recycled rubber and VCT (Vinyl Composition Tiles) vinyl.” in a wide variety of colors and styles. Bamboo: Unlike hardwood, bamboo does not come from trees. It’s a fast-growing grass. It can grow from sprouts to harvesting in three to five years, so an acre of bamboo can provide more flooring than an acre of trees. When bamboo shoots are cut, the roots remain intact, and fresh, new sprouts grow in their place. The dense root mass of bamboo helps prevent soil erosion and provides a viable crop opportunity in hilly acres where other crops cannot grow. Here’s some information on some of the sustainable floor surfaces available today; Cork: To create cork floors, only the bark is extracted from the tree, meaning that the tree is left completely intact. In time, the tree will grow a new layer of bark that can be harvested again. Cork floors absorb sound, unlike harder surfaces, and come Linoleum: Linoleum flooring is manufactured from renewable resources, such as linseed oil, resin, wood flour, flax, cork powder and pigments. Its durability makes it very suitable for high-traffic areas. Linoleum is also naturally biodegradable, and because it is naturally anti-bacterial, there are no chemical agents Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have long postponed. -Glenville Kleiser needed in its manufacture or maintenance. It’s available in rug form, too. The following products are examples of sustainable flooring: Carpet: Sustainable carpets must use postconsumer` and industrial materials, biodegradable dyes and solutions and recycled wastewater. Hardwood: Sustainable hardwood floors are made from recycled wood and/or antique woods that offer a timeless weathered look. How green is your flooring choice? Options such as linoleum (shown above), bamboo and ceramic floors are better for the planet than you might imagine. Ceramic: Sustainable ceramic floors are primarily made from natural and renewable resources and are exceptionally durable. Stone: Sustainable stone floors offer low-extraction impact on the planet and are exceptionally long lasting. tile, made primarily of limestone, is long lasting and offers a high performance rating. Resilient: Durable, longlasting, sustainable resilient floors are available chlorine-free and are typically made from recycled vinyls and plastics. Green and sustainable products are produced around the world, including a number of developing nations. Purchasing these products is not just good for the planet but can help support the people in these countries. Rubber: Sustainable rubber floors, a popular trend lately, can be made from recycled tires and other materials. “The flooring-covering market caught on to the green movement earlier than most,” said Davis. “Manufacturers have spent huge portions of their budgets to bring more products to market that are easier on the environment.” For more information, visit www.wfca.org.

Riveracorrea, With the Navy spring physical readiness test (PRT) drawing nearer, Sailors are preparing physically and mentally for the biannual challenge. In conjunction, some shipmates might even feel stress or doubt about the PRT, thoughts that could hinder their motivation, such as: Am I practicing the right workout regimen? Am I on the right diet? How will I do on the day of the PRT? Well, one retired Sailor’s story could not only inspire Sailors working to maintain physical readiness, but anyone practicing to meet their fitness goals. It was more than three years ago retired Lt. Karen Brabandt underwent an extensive physical, but feeling fatigued, she decided her body was due. She received results from her doctor and was in disbelief that her health entered the danger zone. “My kidney function results were unsatisfying, and besides that, my cholesterol, blood pressure and heart rate were elevated,” said Brabandt. “My relatives were really concerned about me. At this point, I realized that the best gift I could give my family and ultimately myself, was to get and stay healthy.” Brabandt needed a program that was structured and simple, would push her forward and had clear and definable fitness routines. Most importantly, she needed a healthy program that would produce major results in minimal time to get her health back into the safety zone. “I started by educating myself in every manner possible,” said Brabandt. “After I read the Body for Life’s research on high-intensity training routines, the high-point technique and the nutritional component, I was truly inspired and motivated to get started.” Body for Life is a structured 12-week fitness and nutrition program where challengers compete against themselves to get into the best shape of their lives. The challenge was open to 36 countries and more than 100,000 contestant packets were delivered in 2007. Competitors were judged on their physical transformation through beforeand-after photographs, and on their internal transformation, based on an inner transformation essay. “I wrote out my goals, and I printed the 12-week training-forlife schedule,” said Brabandt. “I began a food journal using a nutrition chart. My husband quickly became my success coach; he kept me on schedule by assisting in my weekly meal preparation and partnering with me in my 5 a.m. cardio.” Brabandt’s co-workers, nurses, clinicians and administrators also became her soundingboard, consistently providing her with meaningful feedback and encouragement. The Navy’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation gym staff, and even Navy pilots who use the gym, pushed Brabandt to meet her goals. “Everyone around me helped me to discover and recognize my true potential, giving me strength to keep going when perceived circumstances told me to quit,” said Brabandt. “They empowered me to refocus on my goals.” Upon completion of her 84th day, she had regained her health. Her cholesterol levels were back to normal; she lost 12 percent body fat and improved her overall attitude about incorporating exercise back into her life. “I feel better about myself,” said Brabandt. “I have developed stronger internal characteristics and competencies to hold myself accountable to my new lifestyle commitments.” As an added bonus, Brabandt won the 2007 Body for Life challenge championship in the category for women 46 and over, after losing 24 pounds in 12 weeks. She was recognized for her achievement, Feb. 29, in Columbus, Ohio, during the Body for Life Expo and Night of Champions ceremony. the new book, “Champions, Body for Life,” due to release June 3. “The most rewarding benefits of completing in the challenge were the transformations of my body, mind and spirit,” said Brabandt. “But as a competitor, I lost fat, gained muscle and increased self-confidence.” She received $20,000, a Body for Life champion leather jacket, trophy, home gym, reimbursement of all Energy-Athletics-Strength products purchased during the challenge, and will be featured in Protect your bright eyes from the sunshine this year Hotter weather means more days in the sun are ahead. But before you ditch your jacket and head outside, remember to grab your sunglasses. Long-term sun exposure increases your chance for cataracts and retina damage, and small amounts of exposure add up. If you work, drive, play sports, take walks or run errands while the sun shines, you can irreversibly damage your baby blues - and your baby’s baby blues. Even young children need sunglasses. The right sunglasses should block 99 percent to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation and 75 percent to 90 percent of visible light. They should keep you comfortable, fashionable and able to distinguish traffic signals. Naval Medical Center’s galley closed for renovations Naval Medical Center San Diego’s galley is undergoing a complete floor renovation, with anticipated reopening in late July or early August. During this time a limited choice of cold food options will be available in Café Balboa, however, a number of other vendors located in the food court and basement of building one will have a wide variety of food selections available. Dining room seating will be limited, but additional seating will be provided in the courtyard. Other food vendors located in the courtyard area will be supplemented by increased staff as needed. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience during this renovation. Using neutral gray lenses will help you appreciate all the colors in that summer sunset. Optometric Association (AOA) provides these sunglass-shopping guidelines: - Make sure the tint looks uniform across each lens. If you’re considering gradient lenses, make sure that the lens color changes gradually from light to dark. - Hold the glasses at arm’s length and look through them at a straight line. If the line distorts, buy another pair. - Try on the glasses in front of a mirror. If you can easily see your eyes, look for darker lenses. This does not apply to light-sensitive or photochromatic lenses. Different lenses suit different activities. Polarized lenses work well by the water but can provide distracting glare on the golf course. If you play contact sports, look for polycarbonate lenses, which protect against impact. Wrap-around frames add protection, too. When it comes to evaluating sunglasses, labels and price tags mean nothing. The government does not regulate UV protection or lens quality, so every sunglass brand creates its own claims. In studies, some expensive lenses proved less protective than cheaper pairs, and dark lenses can actually block less UV radiation than lighter shades. Looking to buy? The American If buying a new pair of sunglasses suddenly sounds complex, just look for the American Optometric Association’s Seal of Certification and Acceptance, which guarantees vision products.

Jan. 24 on a regularly scheduled deployment. The Nimitz CSG is currently operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet operating area. “Even if we don’t finish today, we consider it a plus,” said Chargaulaf. “We’re dealing with people that need help and were getting help to be able to do that.” Operating in the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans, the 7th Fleet is the largest of the forward-deployed fleets with approximately 50 ships, 120 aircraft and 20,000 Sailors and Marines assigned at any given time. After a few hours, the small group of Sailors nearly completed painting two-story building. Jerry Pura, a Catholic Social Services social worker, said that the idea of the program is for homeless residents to live in the units for a maximum of two years to develop their job skills and to help prepare them to make a fresh start. “It was fun and it’s for a good cause”, said Aviation Machinist’s Mate 1st Class (AW/SW) Rodel Delosreyes. “We spent time helping people that need it and that’s important. I was glad that we were able to get the job done.” Catholic Social Services employees and residents were happy to see the Sailors volunteer some of their time to help the community. “This was a very successful COMREL,” said Cmdr. Francis Foley, Nimitz chaplain. “We got a lot done and it was all accomplished because of teamwork. We started working upon arrival and the energy of the group carried us through from start to finish.” “This is very much appreciated,” said John Chargaulaf, project manager. “We look forward to getting help like this, and it’s not everyday that we get it.” Nimitz departed San Diego Chargaulaf said that he was Attention Reader: Investigate before you invest Appearance of advertising in this publication does not constitute endorsement by Navy Dispatch newspapers or Western States Weeklies, Inc.

WE’LL PICK YOU UP! ★ by MC2 Christopher Menzie SAN DIEGO - The crew of an unusual, high-speed vessel used to support special operations forces was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation (MUC) April 22 during a ceremony at Naval Special Warfare Command. Joint Venture (HSV-X1) was praised for its mobility capabilities during experimental employment with Naval Special Warfare from June 12, 2005 to Aug. 30, 2006. “It was certainly a welldeserved award for the crew,” said Capt. John Womer, an officer involved with the project. “They did a great job. It was a unique experiment for the Special Operations Forces, Navy, and the Army in that personnel from all three elements worked together during the deployment.” Joint Venture served as a mobile staging base for its military support missions, significantly improving access to Southeast Asia’s remote areas where there are very few opportunities to establish protected bases. “Joint Venture’s shallow draft and non-military appearance allowed it access to expansive and remote coastal regions,” said Cmdr. Thomas Shaw, the vessel’s commanding officer at the time. “The ship’s speed allowed it to provide rapid mobility and forward basing in an area that covers millions of square miles of ocean.” The multi-purpose Joint Venture is an aluminum hull catamaran equipped to carry 325 passengers and travel up to 3,000 miles at speeds up to 40 knots per hour. Its flight deck is used for refueling and rearming helicopters, as well as the launching and recovery of rigid-hull inflatable boats. It can also carry any type of storage box needed, and be reconfigured electronically for a variety of land and sea operations. Lastly, it can launch and recover unmanned aerial vehicles in support of joint maritime and ground special operations forces. “If you think of taking the operational elements of a land base and putting it aboard a ship, we could move this base anywhere and keep it in an area for as long as we needed,” Womer said. Joint Venture is also cited for its port visits to remote areas in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines in support of regional engagements and humanitarian efforts. Most notably, Joint Venture provided relief supplies to Zamboanga City, an area of the Philippines besieged by years of terrorist and separatist activities. 4 THURSDAY, MAY 1, 2008 THE DISPATCH/AT EASE NT MAY SALES EVE Homes For Heroes 3% Discount* For Veterans, Members Of The Armed Services,* Plus All First Responders!** From sea to shining sea, K.

PAGE 13 THE DISPATCH/AT EASE PAGE 14 THURSDAY, MAY 1, 2008 ——— LOCAL MILITARY ——— NSAWC’s EP-3 training school prepares Sailors for the Fleet by MC2 Michelle Lucht N A S FA L L O N , N e v. Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center’s (NSAWC) Electronic Reconnaissance Weapons School (ERWS) facilitates training for naval aircrew for the EP-3 aircraft and its counterparts: RC135 for the Air force and RC-12 for the Army. Tr a i n i n g i s c o n d u c t e d throughout the year by means of three different courses, Strike Integration (SI), Joint Advanced Tactical Signals Intelligence Training Program (JATSTP), and Reconnaissance Tactics Instructor Course (RTIC). The courses are designed to build from each other; students need to attend the SI course before JATSTP, and then if they are selected they may be allowed to attend the RTIC course. To ensure the students understand the information being presented to them they are given written exams and quizzes which are graded. They also participate in practical exercises and Mission Avionics System Trainer (MAST) events. ERWS instructor Avionics Technician 2nd Class Richard Boyk explains, “MAST is a ten person trainer designed to simulate the equipment onboard the EP-3. The MAST allows us to fly along with the air wings without ever leaving the ground.” An ERWS instructor observes the students during the practical and MAST exercises and then grades the students on their performance. debriefing, and operating the MAST during large force exercises in the integrated and advanced training phases of the NSAWC CVW training program. SI, the initial training course, is two weeks long and consists of one or two EP-3 crews and is conducted every time there is Carrier Air Wing (CVW) training at NSAWC. Training is divided into two phases. Phase I starts with three days of academics and mission planning creating a base for Carrier Strike Group (CSG) operations. Having the EP-3 crews and the CVW’s train together allows for increased tactical proficiency in the use of the EP-3 weapons systems during support of the CSG when they are in theater. While training at NSAWC the two groups are able to design a plan on how they will work together face to face, rather than just the phone calls or e-mails that are used once deployed. Phase II consists of daily mission planning, briefing/ JATSTP training is conducted four times a year and the course is two weeks. The course is designed to produce Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron (VQ)/ Naval Information Operations Command (NIOC) Air Combat Training Continuum (ACTC) Level 4 positional instructors. To facilitate this training instructors from all NSAWC departments assist in providing a core curriculum of United States Naval and Joint warfare tactics. Guest lecturers are brought in to provide tailored training on a variety of relevant topics. The students participate in simulator and practical exercise training events allowing the crews to have realistic, handson training on effective tactical Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) platform employment. This course provides the unique opportunity for cross talk between Navy VQ/ NIOC aircrew, Air Force Airborne and Ground Mission Supervisors, and Army RC-12 aircrew to discuss effective SIGINT employment and share experiences. The third course that the ERWS facilitates is RTIC. This course lasts four weeks and is conducted twice a year. RTIC training provides graduate ACTC Level 5 training, standardized unit level training, crew certification training, and increased readiness and war fighting capability. Emphasis is focused on training students to become weapons AS2 Richard Boyk works with the Mission Avionics System Trainer that is utilized for training at NSAWC’s Electronic Reconnaissance Warfare School. and tactics instructors. This course is for EP-3 officer and enlisted aircrew that have orders to ERWS or the Wing Training Unit (WTU). The ERWS increases tactical knowledge for EP-3 aircrews, while also opening channels of communication between members of different aircrew platforms that work together while deployed in theater. “The training that is offered by ERWS is not available anywhere else. If commands do not send their people here the squadrons will suffer from a lack of tactical expertise.” said Boyk. Cmdr. James Laingen, head of the Command and Control Department at NSAWC under which the ERWS falls, echoes this sentiment. “NSAWC is the Navy’s tactical Center of Excellence for air combat, and the ERWS is the Center of Excellence for the Navy’s airborne electronic reconnaissance effort," he said. "The instructors are the best of the best, and provide an incredible learning experience for fleet operators who come here to train.” THURSDAY, MAY 1, 2008 THE DISPATCH/AT EASE PAGE 15 ——— LOCAL MILITARY ——— USS Makin Island Sailors prepare to defend their ship by MC2 Justin Webb PASCAGOULA, Miss. Thirty five Sailors from precommissioning unit (PCU) Makin Island graduated the Damage Control Familiarization Safety, Environmental and Occupational Health Programs (DC CREWFAM) at Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding (NGSB) West Administrative Annex April 11. DC CREWFAM is designed to provide LHD 8 crewmembers with basic damage control (DC) processes, familiarization with the DC systems aboard the ship, and to review fundamentals covered in the personal qualification standards (PQS) for all personnel on board. CAMPO, Calif. (April 21, 2008) - SEAL qualification training students engage targets during close quarters combat training. This 15-week instructional block teaches students the skills they will need to know to properly clear a house from possible threats.

Jones SAN DIEGO (April 27, 2008) – Isaias Magana smiles as Karena Vigliotti, Youth and Community Program Volunteer, helps him put a visor on during a celebrity classic golf tournament at Morgan Run Resort and Club. Several military members and celebrities attended the tournament. Navy photo by MCSN Omar A. Dominquez Machinery Repairman 1st Class (SW/AW) Calandra Crawford, who is also a DC academy instructor, attended the course and feels very strongly about damage control and its purpose on Makin Island. “Even though LHD 8 has smart ship capabilities, the ship itself will not save our lives,” said Crawford. “There are still a lot of situations and hazards on board that would require all individuals to respond rapidly. I personally have acquired some friends on board LHD 8, and don’t want to lose any of them due to lack of knowledge of basic DC.” All Makin Island Sailors are required to complete the Basic DC PQS within six months of reporting to the command. Chief Warrant Officer Rob Morrow, Makin Island’s damage control division officer, said the goal aboard Makin Island is for proficiency and working knowledge -- not just PQS completion. “Many Makin Island systems are new to LHDs; some are new to the Navy,” said Morrow. “Regardless of the experience a Sailor brings to the table, there is no individual that has been qualified on a ship like LHD 8. These courses are meant to help prepare us for the challenges ahead.” NGSB personnel will continue to hold approximately 260 CREWFAM courses for crew members both at PCU in Pascagoula and the precommissioning detachment (PCD) in San Diego, Calif. until three weeks prior to Makin Island’s departure from Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding. Following delivery of the ship to the Navy, Makin Island crewmembers will sail the ship from Pascagoula to San Diego where the ship will be commissioned. Sailors, who are in their nine to 12-month negotiating window for orders and want to be part of the pre-commissioning command, can contact their rating detailer and ask to be released to the pre-commissioning detailer for further assignment to Makin Island.

Sources tell us NBC and Warner Brothers approached the “ER” star to gauge his interest in a spinoff for his character, Tony Gates. “But Stamos wasn’t having it,” said our snitch. “He’s not interested in being locked into a contract right now. He’s got other options open.” Stamos’ BEYONCE Knowles family: At just 17, Beyonce’s little sis, Solange, wed boyfriend Daniel Smith in the Bahamas after learning she was pregnant. While reps for both J and B are neither confirming nor denying baby talk, the diva has indicated in the past that she’d like a big family: “I want to get married, and I really want a family. In a perfect world I’d have two boys and a girl.” If the newlyweds aren’t yet expecting, they’ll soon have plenty of time to practice.

Red Bull Air Race returns to San Diego, the home of Naval aviation After a phenomenal start to the 2008 Red Bull Air Race World Series in Abu Dhabi this month and Paul Bonhomme’s resounding victory in front of an enthusiastic crowd of 400,000 spectators, the global motorsports competition moves on to its second stop of the 10-race season in San Diego, USA on May 3 and 4. The Red Bull Air Race airport and flight operations will be set up at the Naval Air Station, North Island on Coronado Island, an active military facility, which will be the base for the twelve pilots and their teams during race week. Britain’s Paul Bonhomme dominated the season opener in the United Arab Emirates with the fastest times in all flying sessions. He won last year’s race in San Diego and will be looking to repeat his performance there, but he is up against defending World Champion American Mike Mangold who is confident about racing in front of a home crowd. The Californian is hoping to improve on his third place result in Abu Dhabi after coming in behind 2007 rookie pilot Hannes Arch from Austria who took second place. Last year’s race track in San Diego was considered one of the most challenging. This year will be no exception. Unlike the predominantly narrow tracks in the World Series, San Diego’s harbor provides a much larger open space to race. The track will be packed with many twists, high speed sharp turns and Air Gates that are more difficult to negotiate. Pilot judgement is critical in order to fly a perfect race line. If they misjudge it or cut corners too much they risk being unable to complete the turn into the next Air Gate, which could result in a slower time, penalty seconds or in the worst case disqualification. The race track will be located in the Big Bay between Coronado Island and the spectacular downtown skyline of San Diego. Last year over 50,000 people turned out to watch the race in San Diego. Spectators will be able to enjoy unprecedented views of the action from the Embarcadero Marine Park peninsulas. Qualifying takes place on Saturday, May 3 followed by Race Day on Sunday, May 4. Tickets are available at www.redbullairrace.com. In another first for the Red Bull Air Race World Series, back to back races will be held in the United States. After the race in San Diego’s Big Bay, the competition will move on to the Midwest four weeks later, giving the American public a real chance to get to know these incredible sportsmen. ‘Paws to Celebrate’ 70 years of NCHS Join Pup-a-razzi May 17 for the 2nd annual fundraiser gala Commemorating 70 years of support and compassion for the well-being of animals and people, the North County Humane Society & SPCA will host its 2nd annual Paws to Celebrate fundraiser gala on May 17, at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa.

THE DISPATCH/AT EASE PAGE 18 THURSDAY, MAY 1, 2008 ———————————— ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT ———————————— Arbor glyphs: The biggest little secret of the American West If you have never heard of aspen tree carvings, or arbor glyphs, you are not alone. Bits and pieces of a century of sheepherding tradition in the American West are recorded on the trunks of aspen trees. These carvings are spread across the landscapes of ten or more states, including California’s High Sierra. A few date back to the 1890’s and beyond. They stand witness to the ranchers and Basque immigrants from Europe that passed through Riverside and other areas to the north and recorded their lives, loves, and dreams. In addition to the glyphs, archaeological remains include bread ovens, camp sites, and historic trails. The San Diego Archaeological Center presents Dr. Judy Berryman, archaeologist and historian, as the Center’s Visiting Scholar for May 10. Dr. Berryman will share information regarding the arbor glyphs and their significance in providing a slice of localized history. Dr. Berryman notes that the arborglyphs provide a “limited window of time,” for recording and interpretation. Vandalism, disease, and encroachment of conifers are taking a toll on these silent witnesses of the settlement of the West. Warning: while most of the carvings are names, dates and narrative sentences, some carvings depict human anatomy; please consider this when attending the lecture. Dr. Berryman is a senior archaeologist and historian at e2M, a national environmental and engineering firm with offices in San Diego. She has extensive experience in fieldwork across the Southwest, identifying and evaluating archaeological and historic sites at USMC Camp Pendleton and Bridgeport, San Clemente Island and Imperial Valley. Currently, Dr. Berryman is an adjunct professor at CSUSan Marcos teaching introductory anthropology courses. This lecture is free for Center members; suggested donation for non-members is $5.

The event is free and open to the public. The family-oriented festival will include live entertainment, food booths, prizes, children’s activities, craft booths and more. In addition attendees are encouraged to donate blood and join the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP®) registry, according to San Diego Blood Bank Board member Elvia Saucedo. donors who are Hispanic are also greatly needed for the NMDP® registry. “Only about 12 percent of the blood bank’s donors are of Latino heritage, yet the Latino population of San Diego County has grown to 27%,”she said. “At the same time, those who are Latino often have type “O” blood, which is the universal donor and the type that is in the greatest demand in our community.” “Ultimately, with more Latino donors, more Latino patients will be assured that blood will be available when needed and marrow matches are more possible,” says Saucedo. Since patients in need of marrow transplants have the greatest chance of finding a match with someone of the same ethnic background, potential Anyone who is at least 17 years old, in generally good health and weighs at least 110 pounds may qualify to donate blood.

California Raffle #RF0002002 All entries must be received by May 25, 2008 Free lawn bowling clinic rolls out May 10 The San Diego Lawn Bowling Club is hosting a free clinic on Saturday, May 10 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Top-notch bowlers provide individual instruction to this distinctive game of finesse and strategy that levels the playing field between young and old, and men and women. The lawn bowling greens are located at the west end of the Laurel Street Bridge and Balboa Drive. The game of lawn bowling traces its roots back several thousand years, and historians suggest the game made its way across Europe with Julius Caesar’s centurions. The oldest active club is at the Southampton Old Bowling Green in England, which was established in 1299 AD. One of the first greens in the United States at Williamsburg, Virginia, is open for play to this day. There are bowling greens across the United States, including Central Park in New York and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. The greens in Balboa Park were established in 1932 and celebrated their 75th Anniversary last year. The bowls vary in size, weight, and degree of bias, or curvature. The object of the game is to get closest to a small white ball called the jack, which may be anywhere from 75 to 108 feet away. The art of lawn bowling is to gauge the curve and speed of the bowl to arrive at the target jack, thereby getting the shot. While bowling may look like a leisurely sport, the pace belies the tension of competition, the skill required, and the importance of strategy when choos- ing where to deliver the bowls. There is singles play, doubles play, triples play, and fours play. The Southwest Division of the United States Lawn Bowling Association, which includes San Diego, has the most members and a very active tournament schedule throughout the year. The San Diego Lawn Bowling Club is the proud home of the 2007 U.S. Singles Champion, along with two members of the 2008 fours team that took the gold at the China World Bowls Championship, an event that hosted 28 countries. This accomplishment was a first for the United States team at the international level. For information, contact Melanie Vizenor at (619) 2911894.

Additionally, Solomon ran in the Olympic Development section of the 100 and finished with a regional-qualifying time of 11.59 while finishing second. Solomon is the first Aztec this season to secure a spot at regionals in the 200 and has already qualified for the regional meet in the 100 and 4x100. Kristin Olafsdottir, who earlier this year qualified for regionals in the 400-meter hurdles, surpassed the qualifying mark for a third time after she finished the race in 1:00.81 to finish in third place.

Black, 50, made his managerial debut with the Padres in 2007, leading the club to an 89-74 record. The 89 wins were the most for San Diego since the club won a franchise-record 98 contests in 1998. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Padres .546 winning percentage under Black was the best for a first-year manager (minimum 50 games) since Ken Macha with Oakland (.593, 96-66) and Bob Melvin with Seattle (.574, 93-69) in 2003. Additionally, the last National League manager with a winning percentage that high in his first season was Bob Brenly for Arizona (.568, 92-70) in 2001. Named the 16th manager in franchise history on Nov. 9, 2006, Black joined the Padres after seven seasons as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim pitching coach (2000-06). He previously spent four years in the Cleveland Indians organization, holding the position of Special Assistant to General Manager John Hart for three years (199697, 1999) and pitching coach for Cleveland’s Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo for the 1998 season. A left-handed pitcher, Black pitched 17 years professionally, including 15 seasons in the Majors with the Seattle Mariners (1981), Kansas City Royals (1982-88), Cleveland Indians (1988-90, 1995), Toronto Blue Jays (1990) and San Francisco Giants (1991-94).

Fantasy Showgirls 3596 University Ave. San Diego, CA. 92104 • 619-501-8238 “MILITARY NITES” Monday-Tuesday Cancer patients and their loved ones will be the focus of the Saturday events, featuring a 1-mile non-competitive “Luminary Walk.” The day will kick off at 8 a.m. with an opportunity for participants to make a Luminary tribute sign ($10 donation) that will be posted along the race course. The Luminary Walk ($25 donation) will begin at 9 a.m. and is designed to recognize those who are being, or have been, treated for cancer, and to honor those who lost their battle with the disease. Then at 10 a.m. Tony Reid, M.D., Ph.D., of the Moores UCSD Cancer Center, will give a free talk on new cancer therapies in the tented exhibition area. “The theme for this year’s event is ‘personal best’ because all patients going through cancer are doing their personal best, just like competing athletes,” said Reid. All proceeds from the two days of events will benefit clinical research being conducted at the Moores UCSD Cancer Center. Event details, fees and registration are all available online at www.kozenterprises.com; click on ‘Triathlons’ for race information or ‘Running’ for the Luminary Walk information. Participants may register on-site. Founded in 1979, the Moores UCSD Cancer Center is one of just 39 centers in the United States to hold a National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation as a Comprehensive Cancer Center. As such, it ranks among the top centers in the nation conducting basic, translational and clinical cancer research, providing advanced patient care and serving the community through innovative outreach and education programs.

You were thinking you’d have a hard time reconnecting, but in truth, it was as if you’d never left each other. Taurus (April 21 - May 20) You’ll want to seal the deal, but a partner isn’t so sure about this one. Before charging ahead, it might behoove you to find out why. Gemini (May 21 - June 20) Change isn’t at its best when it’s just for the sake of change. That’s a lesson hard learned for you, but you’ll have to learn it.

But it is the right thing, after all. You may need to consult with someone about how to do it all appropriately. Virgo (Aug. 22 - Sept. 22) An event did not go as smoothly as you would have liked it to, and you’ve really got no one to blame but yourself. Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) Looking to the future seems like a good idea, but you’re so focused on the present that it seems hard to do. Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 22) You’ve got a good handle on what needs to be done; now there’s just the doing that needs to happen. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 20) The benefit of looking twice is that you may see something you didn’t see before. Capricorn (Dec. 21 - Jan. 19) Talking it through is a great idea, especially when others are involved. You didn’t think it would work out, but it looks as if it has. Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) Getting sensible about something is a lot easier said than done. You’d like to pretend you’re pretty clear on this, but the fact of the matter is that you’re not. It’s easier to give in on this one. Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) Someone you thought would come through has let you down, and you’re not sure what to do about it. pm News (N) (CC) Arthur ’ That ’70s Show ’ Evening News Be a Mil- News (N) lionaire (CC) Test Kitchen BBC World News (N) (CC) NBC News News (N) (CC) Cory in the Cory in the House Boxing: 1991 Cooper vs. ESPN Holyfield MLS Soccer: Red Bull at ESPN2 Toronto 10 Years 10 Years TLC Younger Younger Monk “Mr. Monk Meets USA the Playboy” DISN House When you want something this badly, it’s hard to distract you from your goal.
