Security exercise concludes Feb. 25
The Navy concludes a large-scale, nationwide anti-terrorism and
force protection training exercise this Friday at San Diego-area bases
and installations.
Exercise Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield, which began Feb. 22
navywide, enhances the training and readiness of Navy security
personnel to respond to threats to installations and units. It’s not a
response to specific threats, but is regularly scheduled for practical
experience and learning.
Measures have been taken to minimize disruptions to normal base
and station operations, but there may be times throughout the week
when the exercise causes increased traffic around bases or delays in
base access. Area residents may also see increased security activity
associated with the exercise.
Naval Medical Center San Diego advises beneficiaries that there
may be delays at the hospital Feb. 24. For a full schedule of Navy
hospital, clinic and pharmacy hours during the week, see the medical
center website at http://www.med.navy.mil/sites/nmcsd/Pages/MediaAdvisory_20110223.aspx
U.S. responds to gunfire aboard S/V Quest
TAMPA, Fla. - While negotiations were ongoing to secure the
release of four American hostages Feb. 22, U.S. forces responded
to gunfire aboard the pirated vessel (S/V) Quest.
As they responded to the gunfire, reaching and boarding the Quest,
the forces discovered all four hostages had been shot by their captors.
Despite immediate steps to provide life-saving care, all four hostages
ultimately died of their wounds.
“We express our deepest condolences for the innocent lives callously
lost aboard the Quest,” said Gen James N. Mattis, U.S. Central
Command Commander.
During the boarding of the Quest, the reaction force was engaged
by pirates on board the vessel. Two pirates died during the confrontation
and 13 were captured and detained along with two pirates already
in U.S. Forces custody. The U.S. Forces also found the remains of
two other pirates already dead aboard the Quest. In total, it is believed
19 pirates were involved in the hijacking of the S/V Quest.
Four Navy warships comprised the response force dedicated to
recovering the S/V Quest: USS Enterprise (CVN 65), USS Leyte Gulf
(CG 55), USS Sterett (DDG 104) and USS Bulkeley (DDG 84).
Boxer ARG departs for deployment
by Lt. Chad A. Dulac
SAN DIEGO - The Boxer Amphibious Readiness Group (BOX-
ARG) and 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit departed San Diego for
a scheduled seven-month deployment Feb. 22.
“The Boxer ARG/13th MEU team are fully integrated, fully certified
and ready to carry out the Navy’s maritime strategy abroad,”
said Commander, Amphibious Squadron 1, Capt. Curtis J. Shaub.
“We’re looking forward to this deployment to demonstrate those
capabilities, both operationally as well as in partnerships, with allied
countries and other U.S. forces in the global theater.”
BOXARG is comprised of the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer
(LHD 4), amphibious transport dock ship USS Green Bay (LPD 20)
and amphibious dock landing ship USS Comstock (LSD 45).

Ray Mabus recognized actor/comedian
and former
Sailor, Bill Cosby, as an
honorary chief petty officer
in a ceremony held at
the U.S. Navy Memorial
and Naval Heritage Center
Feb. 17.
Cosby began his relationship
with the Navy in
1956 when he joined as
a hospital corpsman and
attended recruit training
at Naval Training Center
Bainbridge, Md.
During his four-year tour,
he was stationed at Marine
Corps Base Quantico, National
Naval Medical Center
Bethesda, Naval Hospital
Argentia, Newfoundland,
USS Fort Mandan (LSD
21), and Philadelphia Naval
Hospital.
During his time at Quantico
and Bethesda, Cosby
worked in Physical Therapy
helping to rehabilitate Korean
War veterans, a duty
he liked and excelled at.
He was also an athlete for
the Navy playing football,
basketball, baseball, and
running track and field.

Cosby said that the Navy
transformed him from an
aimless, uneducated kid into
a man with drive, discipline
and self-respect.
“Bill Cosby is not just a comedian
and an actor, although
he’s pretty good at both, he’s
also been a tireless advocate
for social responsibility and
education – and a constant
friend to the Navy,” said
Mabus. “Last year was the

“There is no greater honor
than having earned the title

“Thank you all,” said
Cosby. “The years I spent
in the Navy and so many
moments remembering
that the Navy gave me a
wake-up call. The Navy
showed me obedience and
that’s the thing that pushed
me to realize the mistakes
I had made in my young

that I could do something
with myself and become
somebody.”
Cosby was honorably
discharged in 1960 as a
Hospital Corpsman 3rd
Class. His awards included
Navy Good Conduct Medal
and National Defense
Service Medal. He also
received the 2010 Lone
Sailor Award from the U.S.
Navy Memorial.

National Military
Sergeants Course Marine named Combat
Center’s Instructor of the Year
by Lance Cpl.
Sarah Anderson
MARINE CORPS AIR
GROUND COMBAT CEN-
TER TWENTYNINE PALMS
- Staff Sgt. Elmer Estes, a native
of Harlan, Ky., was named
the Marine Corps Air Ground
Combat Center’s Instructor of
the Year in February, for standing
out among his peers as a
Sergeants Course instructor
at the Twentynine Palms Staff
Noncommissioned Officers
Academy.
“He’s a very passionate
Marine and deliberate in his
approach to teaching,” said
Gunnery Sgt. James Petty, the
staff noncommissioned officer
in charge of Sergeants Course.
“When the academy nominated
him, it was a unanimous
decision.”
Joining the Marine Corps in
1998, Estes was originally a
small arms repairman for 3rd
Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment.
He became an instructor
with the Staff Noncommissioned
officers Academy in
July of 2010.
Estes said he tries to grab his
students’ attention to help them
better retain the information
they are being taught and stay
engaged in learning.
“I believe we set the students
up for failure if we don’t let
them explore as many avenues
of approach as possible,” Estes
said. “I believe the textbook is
a guide that allows us to expand
on. It allows the sergeants
to teach themselves without
even knowing it.”
Winning against the other instructor
nominees on the Com-
bat Center, which includes
Marines from other courses
across the installation, was an
extreme honor, Estes said.
“Everyone here has their
own unique philosophies and
March 4 is final day to claim ‘Stop Loss’ pay
by Terri Moon Cronk
WASHINGTON - People whose military service was involuntarily
extended or whose retirement was suspended between Sept. 11,
2001, and Sept. 30, 2009, have until March 4 to file for retroactive
payments of $500 for each month of their extended service under
the “Stop Loss” policy.
The deadline ends the second extension for eligible people to apply
to receive the retroactive pay. “This is a timely payment for services
already rendered,” said Lernes “Bear” Hebert, DoD’s director of officer
and enlisted personnel management. “It’s a no-strings-attached
program - one where they fill out a simple form and attach a few
documents [to show] their service.”
Each service branch will work with potential applicants to determine
eligibility, he added. The program also applies to beneficiaries
who lost loved ones in the ultimate sacrifice during their service,
Hebert said. Applying through the Internet or by mail is easy, and
usually takes less than 30 minutes, Hebert said, adding that once
eligibility is established, the money “just shows up in your bank
account.”
“There’s nothing more to it,” he said. “You probably won’t hear
from the military again unless you initiate contact.”
Applications sent via computer or postmarked by March 4 for
delivery by mail will have met the deadline, Hebert said.
“This unique program for Stop Loss special pay is to recognize
servicemen and women and the sacrifices they made to their country
without hesitation,” Hebert said.
An estimated 145,000 people are eligible for the special pay,
Defense Department officials said, noting that 77,000 claims have
been paid. Other applications are being processed, and officials
strongly recommend that all potential applicants apply before the
March 4 deadline, even those who received a bonus for voluntarily
re-enlisting and those who think they’re not eligible because they
extended their service.

ways they incorporated their
teaching methods,” he said.
“Being recommended was an
honor, and winning is an even
bigger honor. It’s rewarding
knowing all of our efforts
combined are being recognized
across the Marine Corps.”
Estes was selected for the
board because of his influence
on the students, as seen in their
end of course critiques, and for
achieving senior faculty advisor
in only about six months,
Petty said.
“He excelled quicker than
any other I’ve seen,” he said.
“He is always the first to the
office and the last to leave. That
stands out.”
Estes said teaching is his
passion.
“With sergeants, challenging
them every day to allow
themselves to develop to a
more well-rounded Marine is
rewarding in itself,” Estes said.
“Watching them grow, watching
their determination and
inspiration for learning what
I’m teaching is phenomenal.
To see them take back to their
units what I taught them is
more rewarding than winning
an award itself.”
Estes will now move on to
the Enlisted Professional Military
Education Instructor of the
Year board. This will include
Marine Corps-wide enlisted
Instructor of the Year winners
from individual installations.
If Estes wins in the EPME
board, he will then move on to
the Elihu Rose Award, which
is Marine Corps-wide and will
put him up against the best officers
and civilian instructors the
Corps has to offer as well.

Mullen continues Middle East trip in Qatar
by Donna Miles
DOHA, Qatar, Feb. 21, 2011
– The top U.S. military officer
arrived here in the Qatari capital
today, continuing his weeklong
trip through the Middle East
after concluding what he called
frank, reassuring talks with
leaders in Saudi Arabia about
widespread regional unrest.
Navy Adm. Mike Mullen,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, told reporters concern
about violence surrounding
many of the pro-democratic
movements that have rippled
through the region – and how
Iran might exert its power in the
process – dominated his talks
today with Saudi political and
military leaders.
The chairman emphasized that
he does not believe Iran played
a role in toppling the regimes
of Tunisian President Zine al-
Abidine Ben Ali and Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak or in
stirring up other protest movements.
“These are, by and large,
internal issues, as opposed to is-

sues fomented by some external
force,” he said.
But nonetheless, Mullen said,
the United States and its allies
in the region are wary that
Iran might use the upheaval
as a chance to exert influence.
He called Iran “a country that
continues to foment instability
in the region and take advantage
of every opportunity.”
“There are always concerns in
this region with Iran. Certainly
the United States has them, as
well as all the regional players,”
he told reporters after
concluding today’s meetings in
Riyadh. “Certainly that was part
of the discussion today with the
Saudis.”
In the Saudi capital of Riyadh,
the chairman met with
Prince Mohammed bin Niyif,
assistant interior minister for
security affairs; Prince Miteb
bin Abdullah, commander of
Saudi Arabia’s national guard;
Prince Khalid bin Sultan bin
Abdul Aziz al-Saud, assistant
defense and aviation minister
for military affairs; and Lt. Gen.
Qubail, deputy chief of the general
staff. He also met with U.S.
Ambassador to Saudi Arabia
James Smith and his staff.
Mullen said his talks focused
largely on the tumult in Bahrain,
where a violent weekend left
many anti-government protestors
dead. “Obviously the Saudis, in
particular -- but everybody in the
region -- is watching what’s happening
in Bahrain very closely,”
he said.
The Saudi government, concerned
that whatever happens
there could spill over to Saudi
Arabia’s eastern province, has
expressed support for Bahrain’s
ruling Khalifa family and sent a
warning to Iran.
“The kingdom of Saudi Arabia
stands with all its capabilities
behind the state and the brotherly
people of Bahrain,” the government-run
Saudi Press Agency
announced in a statement. Saudi
Arabia expressed “absolute re-
jection” of foreign tampering in
Bahrain’s affairs.
Mullen credited Crown Prince
Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifa’s
decision not to use force against
the protestors and to begin a
national dialogue to address their
issues with bringing about an apparent
reduction in violence iover
the last 36 hours in Bahrain.
“He has taken some significant,
positive steps from a leadership
standpoint … to resolve the
grievances and the concerns,”
the chairman said.
The chairman arrived here
today for the second leg of a trip
that also includes stops in United
Arab Emirates, Djibouti and Kuwait,
and possibly Bahrain.
Tonight in Doha, Mullen will
be the guest of honor at a dinner
hosted by Maj. Gen. Hamad bin
Ali al-Attiyah, the Qatari armed
forces’ chief of staff. He has
meetings slated tomorrow with
Sheikh bin Hamad al Thani, ruling
emir of Qatar since 1995.

News Brief
Leaders outline improved services
by Lisa Daniel
WASHINGTON (Feb. 18, 2011) - The Defense Department has
taken a number of recent steps to improve health care and family
support services for military members and their families, the
department’s two top leaders told a Senate Feb. 17.
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and Navy Adm. Mike Mullen,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed
Services Committee about several areas of improvement during
a hearing about the department’s fiscal 2012 budget.
Gates said he has made quick implementation of the shift to
electronic medical records for service members and veterans one
of his top priorities. The issue is important enough, he said, that
he and Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric K. Shinseki met one-on-one
two weeks ago to discuss how to push the change faster. They will
meet again in March and follow up with a staff meeting in April
on the issue, he said.
“I have found with these huge bureaucracies, whether it’s DOD
or VA, that things don’t move very fast unless they get high-level
attention,” he said. “We’re committed to getting fast progress on
this. We’ve made a lot of progress, but it’s not fast enough as far
as Secretary Shinseki and I are concerned.”
Officials also have stabilized programs, particularly in mental
health and family support services, by removing them from the
supplemental war funding budget to the base budget, Gates said.
In the past three years, he added, “we’ve moved virtually all of it
to the base budget, so long after the war funding ends, we’ll still
be able to sustain these programs.”
The Defense Department has improved the delivery of mental
health services by hiring 6,000 mental health care workers since
2001, when the department had only about a thousand, Mullen
said. “There have been extraordinary efforts to address this within
the services,” he said, noting that civilian health care also is short
of mental health practitioners.
Because of that and education and outreach campaigns, officials
have a better understanding of problems like post-traumatic stress
and traumatic brain injuries, the chairman told the senators.
“Early on, there was a great deal of focus on spouses in terms
of their stress, but there’s been an increasing awareness and understanding
to address the whole family, including kids,” he said,
noting that today’s military children have had parents at war most
of their lives.

—————————— VETERANS NEWS ————————————
First-ever report on homeless veterans issued
For the first time, the Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA)
and the Department of Housing
and Urban Development today
published the most authoritative
analysis of the extent and
nature of homelessness among
Veterans. According to HUD
and VA’s assessment, nearly
76,000 Veterans were homeless
on a given night in 2009 while
roughly 136,000 Veterans spent
at least one night in a shelter
during that year.
This unprecedented assessment
is based on an annual report
HUD provides to Congress
and explores in greater depth
the demographics of Veterans
who are homeless, how the
number of Veterans compare to
Mullen
continued from page 4
others who are homeless, and
how Veterans access and use
the nation’s homeless response
system. HUD’s report, Veteran
Homelessness: A Supplement
to the 2009 Annual Homeless
Assessment Report to Congress
, examines the data in the
department’s annual report to
Congress in-depth.
“With our federal, state and
community partners working
together, more Veterans are
moving into safe housing,” said
Secretary of Veterans Affairs
Eric K. Shinseki. “But we’re not
done yet. Providing assistance
in mental health, substance
abuse treatment, education and
employment goes hand-in-hand
with preventive steps and per-
manent supportive housing.
We continue to work towards
our goal of finding every Veteran
safe housing and access to
needed services.”
Last June, President Obama
announced the nation’s first
comprehensive strategy to prevent
and end homelessness,
including a focus on homeless
Veterans. The report, Opening
Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to
Prevent and End Homelessness,
puts the country on a path to end
Veterans and chronic homelessness
by 2015; and to ending
homelessness among children,
family, and youth by 2020. Read
more about the Administration’s
strategic plan to prevent and end
homelessness in America .
Budget includes TRICARE fees, doc fix
FRA’s National Executive Director Joe Barnes and Healthcare Advisor Bob Washington
attended a meeting last week with Dr. Clifford Stanley, Under-Secretary of
Defense for Personnel & Readiness, and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of
Defense for Force Health Protection Dr. George “Peach” Taylor. During the meeting,
DoD laid out healthcare proposals that are part of the Administration’s FY
2012 budget request that was also delivered to Congress this week. The Pentagon
seeks to increase the TRICARE Prime annual enrollment fee from $230 to $260
for individual retirees and from $460 to $520 per retired family in 2012. Starting
in 2013, the annual enrollment fees will be increased to keep pace with a yetto-be-determined
medical inflation index. There are no proposed increases for
TRICARE Standard and TRICARE-for-Life beneficiaries, survivors and those who
are medically retired. The proposal doesn’t affect current
beneficiaries enrolled in the Uniformed Service
Family Health Plans, but future USFHP enrollees will
be required to enroll in Medicare when they reach
age 65 and use TRICARE for Life as a second payer, just as TRICARE Prime
beneficiaries do now. Active duty service members will not incur additional outof-pocket
expenses under the proposal. The proposal also eliminates pharmacy
co-pays for mail-order generic drugs and increases the current $9 co-pay to $12
for brand-name medications distributed through the mail-order pharmacy, which
is now called “home delivery.”
Concurrent receipt update
Unlike the previous two years, the Obama Administration did not seek funding
for concurrent receipt improvements in its FY 2012 budget request, but several
lawmakers are working to expand eligibility for the concurrent receipt of military
retired pay and veterans’ disability compensation, without offset. Rep. Joe Wilson
(S.C.) introduced legislation (H.R. 186) that expands concurrent receipt for service
members who were medically retired with less than 20 years of service.
From there, Mullen is slated to travel to United Arab Emirates, where he will meet with leaders and
attend the International Defense Exposition and Conference in Abu Dhabi. Later this week, he will visit
Djibouti on the Horn of Africa, then will conclude his trip in Kuwait with ceremonies marking the 20th
anniversary of its liberation during Operation Desert Storm.
Although the visit had been long-scheduled, Mullen told reporters traveling with him, its context
changed dramatically in light current events. He dismissed the notion that his trip shows the United
States is taking sides in regional conflicts, emphasizing the importance of peaceful resolution to the
current situation in the strategically important Gulf region.
“We have a longstanding relationship with the leaders in these countries,” he said, noting his own
close ties with their military leaders. “That doesn’t mean we don’t all share concern about what has
happened and look to the future,” he said. “It is really important that we reaffirm the relationship” and
evaluate “what has occurred and how we are going to look to the future together.”
The chairman said he would press throughout his trip for all sides in these situations to show restraint
as they work through their differences.
“We certainly would like to see whatever happens happen in a nonviolent way -- that where there
are differences, they be resolved nonviolently, and that governments and their people figure this out,”
he said.
Meanwhile, in response to a reporter’s question, Mullen expressed no particular concern about
Egypt’s decision to allow Iranian warships to pass through the Suez Canal. Noting that he has transited
the canal himself more than once, the chairman said it’s an issue for Egypt, which controls the canal,
to address.
“It is really for the government of Egypt and the government of Iran to work that out,” he said.

Career & Education
Pendleton instructors train Combat Center Marines to reach new heights
by Cpl. M. C. Nerl
Marines can fight in every
clime and place, but sometimes
they have to climb to get there.
Fortunately for Combat Center
Marines, they have a worldrenowned
rock climbing locale
just a rock’s throw from the main
gate in Joshua Tree National
Park, in Joshua Tree, Calif.
Forty warriors of 2nd Battalion,
7th Marine Regiment, took
advantage of this proximity and
near-perfect weather to strengthen
their vertical climbing skills
during a month-long Assault
Climbers Course at the national
park Tuesday.
The three-stage course began
Jan. 11 at 25 Area, Camp Vado
del Rio within Marine Corps
Base Camp Pendleton and is
currently in its second stage in
Joshua Tree. Those who survive
Joshua Tree will return to Camp
Pendleton’s Range 133 to take
on steep earth, cliff assaults, and
urban climbing techniques. Those
who make it to the crest will
graduate with either a Tactical
Rope Suspension Team or Lead
Climber certification during a
ceremony Feb. 11 at Marine
Corps Base Camp Pendleton,
Calif.
Marines began the first stage
Jan. 11 at Camp Pendleton, after
highly experienced instructors
with the Special Operations
Training Group, placed the
students in teams, or TRSTs. In
their teams, Marines were taught
all aspects of assault climbing
in extreme terrain, from tying
knots to scaling cliff faces as a
lead climber. They also learned
to rappel, use climbing anchors
and apply belays correctly, said
Gunnery Sgt. Eric N. Johnson,
the staff noncommissioned officer
in charge of the assault climbers
section, with SOTG.
“We began teaching them
every knot to tie, and for the first
two weeks it was just them tying
the 14 knots and learning the 11
rope systems.”
Johnson said the first two
weeks are a mental challenge.
“Right now we’re in our fourth
week of training.” Unfortunately,
half of the original 40 students
dropped out, figuratively, that is.
That is consistent with average
attrition rates, he said.
Although Marines may be able
to master the rope and climbing
techniques at ground level, doing
so atop the steep slopes of a giant,
slippery rock at Joshua Tree can
be too daunting a task.
“The first two weeks is
especially a mental challenge,”
said Johnson. “It gets hard
physically, but still that’s all
mental. It can be easy for [the
students] to lose their nerve
and not think they can make a
climb.”
Those Marines who make it
past the second week typically
get over any fear of heights
quickly, said Johnson. This will
pay off during the unit’s next
deployment this summer when
they become Battalion Landing
Team 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines,
the ground combat element for
the 31st Marine Expeditionary
Unit, based out of Marine Corps
Base, Okinawa, Japan.
Second Lt. Keefe Murtaugh,
the 1st platoon commander of
Company F, and a Chicago
native, said the course is a tough
test, but will pay off greatly when
they execute their mission as
BLT 2/7.
“A lot of the Marines sent here
will be on the boat company,”
said Murtaugh. “That mission,
which will include raids, will
require Marines to lead the way
when tasked with cliff assaults.
“Sometimes when assaulting
a beach, there will be cliffs we’ll
have to scale,” said Murtaugh.
Having a handful of Marines with
climbing skills who can provide security
at the top for the rest, will greatly increase
the odds of the mission’s success, he
said. Twenty-three days into the course,
Murtaugh said, the mental and physical
strain on the students is obvious.
“Most of us have little or no
experience when it comes to climbing.
A lot of the Marines are fairly fresh
from [the School of Infantry] and this
doesn’t apply to anything they’ve
experienced in the Marine Corps,” said
Murtaugh.
“All our hands are getting torn up,”
he said. “One thing we’ve been taught
is the fist-jam – to make a fist inside the
rock. Murtaugh said it works, but it is
hard. “Yeah it hurts, but the alternative
of falling is much worse.”
Lance Cpl. Corey Murphy, a rifleman
with Company F, from Tucson, Ariz., said
he expects to make it to the next stage and
eventually graduate, but said he quickly
discovered scaling the face of a cliff was
going to be harder than he thought.
“Just looking up at the side of the
rocks, you’d think there’d be all kinds
of places to plant your feet or grab with
your hands. But when you’re up there in
a tight spot, you just want to second guess
everything,” said Murphy. “Of course
the instructors taught us how to climb in
combat boots and how to place protection
to stop you from hitting the ground,” he
said. “But when you’re up there, it’s a
whole different story.”

Navy, Post University partnership offers recruiters fast path to degree
by
MC2 Michael B. Lavender
Commander, Navy Recruiting

Sailors interested in enrolling
at Post University may pursue
an undergraduate or graduate
degree or enroll in a professional
certificate program before, during
or after serving as a recruiter.

during their recruiting tours
are transferable if they move to
another assignment.
“Post University is deeply
committed to serving those
men and women who serve
our country,” said Edmund J.
Lizotte, Post University Military
Programs and Veterans Affairs
director. “We have taken the time
to learn what military personnel
need to be successful in this kind
of program, and then made sure
we could provide it. In addition
to lowering our tuition, we make
sure each Sailor who enrolls with

Post University courses can
be completed entirely online,
creating a learning environment
suited for recruiters serving in
a remote area of the country,
or those who are serving in a
bustling metropolis.
“Part of our global force
for good includes educational
opportunities,” Faller said. “This
is one more way we bring those
educational opportunities to our
recruiters who serve around the
nation.”
“I look forward to working
with Post University to continue
my education and get my degree,”
said Aviation Boatswain’s Mate
2nd Class (AW/SW) Dickdale

About Your Health
Learning causes structural changes in affected neurons There are several ways-from
When a laboratory rat learns
how to reach for and grab a food
pellet – a pretty complex and
unnatural act for a rodent – the
acquired knowledge significantly
alters the structure of the specific
brain cells involved, which sprout
a whopping 22 percent more
dendritic spines connecting them
to other motor neurons.
The finding, published in
the journal Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences
by Mark H. Tuszynski, MD, PhD,
professor of neurosciences and
colleagues at the University of
California, San Diego School of
Medicine, underscores the brain’s
remarkable ability to physically
change as it learns (not just in
rats, but presumably in humans
too), but also reveals that the
effect is surprisingly restricted to
the network of neurons actually
involved in the learning.
“I think it’s fair to say that in
the past it was generally believed
that a whole cortical region
would change when learning
occurred in that region, that a
large group of neurons would
show a fairly modest change in
overall structure,” said Tuszynski,
who is also director of the Center
for Neural Repair at the UC
San Diego and a neurologist at
the Veterans Affairs San Diego
Health System.
“Our findings show that this is
not the case. Instead, a very small

Appointment
number of neurons specifically
activated by learning show an
expansion of structure that’s
both surprisingly extensive –
there’s a dramatic increase in
the size and complexity of the
affected neurons – and yet highly
restricted to a small subset of
cells. And all of this structural
plasticity is occurring in the
context of normal learning, which
highlights just how changeable
the adult brain is as a part of its
normal biology.”
Tuszynski said the new
work improves science’s basic
understanding of how the brain
learns. “This tells us that learning
may be mediated by relatively
few cells, but that these few cells
exhibit a substantial or extensive
change in structure.” Notably, the
impacted cells in the rat study
were not clustered together, but
widely distributed over the motor
cortex of the rat brain, suggesting
that learned behaviors create
expansive networks of distant
cells.
Whether these new connections
and changes are permanent
is the subject of continuing
research. For a rat, reaching for
and grasping food is a learned
behavior that takes time and
repetition to master, not unlike
a person learning to ride a bike
or play the piano. If the behavior
isn’t regularly practiced, it
becomes rusty, though it may be
later resumed and remembered.

“This seems to be a ‘hardwired’
form of memory,” said
Tuszynski. “We were curious
whether we could find evidence
of hard-wiring as part of learning
in animal brains. We designed this
study and our original hypothesis
seems to be confirmed.
“Whether this physically
represents the formation of longterm
memory is hard to say”
Tuszynski said, explaining that
the data are correlative. “The
rats learn, and we know that the
learning is mediated by the small
set of cells we studied. We know
that adjacent cells in the cortex,
which are not required to learn
the new task, do not show the
structural change. So presumably
the structural change is occurring
only in the learning neurons,
and the learning would likely
not occur without the structural
change.”
He added that in order to
determine whether the structural
change is necessary for the
learning to occur, scientists would
need to block the expansion in
spines and then observe a failure
to learn. “Yet the inference is
quite strong that structural change
is necessary for the learning to
occur.”
Tuszynski said it remains to
be seen how the brain changes
in other types of learning, such
as language-based knowledge or
arithmetic-type learning.
“Types of memory that require
much repetition for learning
– and that don’t fade away easily
– likely use this modification
of (dendritic) structure to
accomplish the learning,” he
said. “Other forms of memory
that are not so hard to establish
– and which fade more rapidly
– may not involve such extensive
structural changes. These are
concepts that will be pursued in
future studies.”

How to prevent heart disease
eating right to buying jewelry-to
combat the No. 1 killer of women
in the U.S.: heart disease.
What You Can Do
To protect yourself, the
National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute recommends:
• Eat for heart health.
Have plenty of fresh fruits
and vegetables. Foods low in
saturated fat and cholesterol and
high in fiber can help prevent
high blood cholesterol. Limiting
sodium in your diet can also
lower blood pressure.
• Maintain a healthy weight.
Being overweight can increase
your risk for heart disease.
• E x e r c i s e r e g u l a r l y.
Physical activity can help you
maintain a healthy weight and
lower cholesterol and blood
pressure. The Surgeon General
recommends adults engage in
moderate-intensity exercise for
at least 30 minutes on most days
of the week.
• Don’t smoke. Cigarette
smoking greatly increases your
risk for heart disease. If you do
smoke, your doctor can suggest
ways to help you quit.
•Know your numbers. Talk to
your doctor to determine your
personal risk factors for heart
disease.

Stroke rate rises for patients with HIV infection
While the overall hospitalization
rate for stroke has declined
in recent years, the numbers
have jumped dramatically for
patients infected with human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV),
suggesting they may be up to
three times more likely to suffer
a stroke than people uninfected
by the virus that causes AIDS.
In a paper published in the
Jan. 19 online issue of Neurology,
Bruce Ovbiagele, MD,
professor of neurosciences at
the University of California,
San Diego School of Medicine
and Avindra Nath, MD, of Johns
Hopkins University, reviewed a
national dataset of all hospital
patients primarily diagnosed
with stroke between the years
1997 and 2006.
They found that the number
of stroke diagnoses in the
general population declined 7
percent during this time period
(to 926,997 from 998,739) while
stroke diagnoses among HIVinfected
patients rose 67 percent
(to 1,425 from 888). The rise in
strokes among HIV patients was
entirely driven by an increase
in ischemic strokes, which are
caused by impaired blood flow
to the brain due to clots. Ischemic
strokes are significantly
more common than hemorrhagic

strokes, which involve leakage
of blood from the circulatory
system into the brain.
Strokes can result in rapidly
occurring, permanent loss of
brain function due to severely
reduced or interrupted blood
supply to the brain. They are
the third leading cause of death
in the United States, with more
than 143,579 fatalities annually,
and the leading cause of serious,
long-term disability.
“Generally speaking, strokes
in patients with HIV are not
common, so the rise is notable,”
said Ovbiagele, who is also a
staff physician in the VA San Diego
Healthcare System. He noted
that the time period studied coincides
with the emergence and
widespread use of highly active
antiretroviral therapy (HAART)
for HIV patients. HAART has
been notably successful in extending
the lives of HIV/AIDS
patients, but Ovbiagele said
emerging data suggest that these
drugs can be associated with
metabolic complications linked
to higher risk of stroke.
“The rise in HIV stroke rate
may simply be because patients
are living longer,” Ovbiagele
said. “Stroke risk is highly
correlated with increasing age.

Almost three-quarters of strokes
occur after the age of 65. Indeed,
after 55, the risk doubles for each
successive decade.”
However, among HIV patients
the average age for a stroke was
in the 50s and Ovbiagele said it
has been previously shown that
drugs used in HAART affect
lipid and glucose levels, which
are metabolic biomarkers associ-
ated with ischemic stroke risk.
Ovbiagele intends to pursue
further studies to better examine
the relationship between HIV
drug treatment, metabolic complications
and stroke risk.
“Patients on HAART will
clearly need to remain on the
drugs to extend their lives, but
the challenge will be to clarify
whether HAART therapy is an
innocent bystander or a direct
culprit in this process. Furthermore,
it would be helpful
to find out if rates of myocardial
infarctions, more commonly
known as heart attacks,
are rising among HIV patients
since they share similar underlying
biological mechanisms to
ischemic strokes.” UCSD News

Pendleton Marines train in massive, new combat town

MCAG COMBAT CENTER
TWENTYNINE PALMS - For
some Marines the experience
of entering an Afghan village
for the first time will seem as
foreign as the culture they have
been entrusted to protect. However,
after training at the Combat

training exercise.
The facility, roughly equivalent
in size to downtown San

week of the grueling month-long
EMV, which combines all four
components of the Marine Air
Ground Task Force, the ground
combat, logistics, aviation and
command elements.
Trainers, known as Coyotes,
brought in 575 friendly and
enemy role players and spread
them out over seven separate
mock city districts within the
274-acres complex. During day
and night exercises, small unit
leaders and individual Marines
were made to interact with role
players, some of who spoke
little or no English, and others
who spoke only Pashto or other
dialects found in Afghanistan
and nearby regions. They had
to communicate by any means
necessary in a fast-moving environment
filled with explosions,
gunfire and the ever-present
fog of war. At times, some had
to resort to hand and arm signals
when interpreters were not
available.
Within CAMOUT, Marines
were exposed to elaborate scenes
filled with true-to-life characters
that milled about the town
square and alley-ways and often,
whose allegiance was hard to
distinguish. Trickier yet, a friend
could turn to a foe after a serious
insult. A “thinking” enemy was

challenged to transition quickly
between roles, some of which
required different and conflicting
skill sets. They had to be
warriors during an attack, then
conduct search and seizure
missions and do crowd control
like policemen. They had to
defend themselves from sniper
attacks and ambushes, yet be
sure to keep their fire in check to
protect innocent civilians. They
had to be peacekeepers between
rival factions, then transition to
humanitarian relief work and
become goodwill ambassadors.
According to Combat Center
officials, this is the current nature
of conflict in many areas
around the world. This, and recent
history and lessons learned
were some of the reasons the
Combined Arms MOUT facility
was constructed.
The complex supports any
number of Marines and Sailors,
from a small 12-man squad to
a full Marine Expeditionary
Brigade, composed of more than
15,000 Marines and Sailors and
its supporting units. CAMOUT’s
realistic settings such as classrooms,
markets, hotels and
other businesses complete with
role-players, challenged Marines
to communicate, coordinate, maneuver
and operate in an urban
setting. Throughout the facility,
Marines were constantly kept
on the alert by the detonation of
improvised explosive devices,
and enemy ambushes coming
from “spiderhole” hiding places
and almost 1,900 feet of enemy
tunnels. They had to find and
destroy weapons caches found
in underground tunnels, a manmade
riverbed and dozens of
courtyards and compounds, according
to an official release.

MSRON 9 returns
SAN DIEGO - Over 250
reserve and active duty
Sailors from a Navy Task
Group operating within the
5th Fleet Area of Responsibility
returned Feb. 22 to
Naval Base Coronado from
a seven-month deployment
to the Middle East.
They provided seaward
surveillance and security
forces in amphibious areas
and harbors, and military
significant coastal and inshore
areas in the 5th Fleet
AOR.
Capt. Scott Ready, Commander,
Maritime Expeditionary
Security Squadron
(MSRON) 9, addressed the
crowd of over 50 families
and friends who greeted
the returning Sailors at the
NBC air terminal.
“Your Sailors had a fabulous
deployment. They met
and exceeded every expectation
we had of them, that
our operational commander
had of them, and our administrative
boss had of
them,” said Ready. “I’m
very proud to be a part of

California business, community
leaders visit Makin Island at sea
by MC1 Andrew Wiskow
PACIFIC OCEAN - Twenty-one business and community leaders
embarked ampibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD
8) Feb. 15-17.
The California-based leaders embarked the ship for one-day
embarks as part of the Leaders to Sea (LTS) program.
Through the LTS program, Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific
Fleet (SURFPAC) provides an opportunity for leaders from business
and civic organizations to experience the daily operations on
board a Navy warship and to become familiar with the capabilities
of the surface force.
Lynn Reaser, chief economist for Point Loma Nazarene University
in San Diego, said she was thrilled to be chosen to tour
Makin Island.
“I wish that every single American citizen could participate in
this experience because it truly gives you an appreciation of the
equipment, the technology and the capabilities that we have to
defend our nation,” she said.
Makin Island Sailors gave the guests an in-depth tour, including
a trip to the ship’s medical and engineering facilities and
introductions to different mission-centric spaces throughout the
ship. They learned about Navy jobs, watchstanding procedures
and the responsibilities placed on young Sailors.
“We hope that the embarked guests take away with them a
feeling of satisfaction that they’ve seen an example of America’s
best fighting force, and that they’ve seen the pride and professionalism
that our Sailors have in what they do, day in and day
out, in defense of their country,” said Capt. Jim Landers, Makin
Island’s commanding officer.
Makin Island is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, which
currently conducting training exercises off the coast of California.
The ship is preparing for a deployment to the 5th and 7th Fleet
areas of operation later this year.

Marines honor ancestors,
ties to Navajo Code Talkers
by Sgt. Dean Davis
FOB DELARAM II, Afghanistan
- Many triumphs and sacrifices
distinguish the military
service of the Navajo people.
Perhaps most famous, is the
story of the Navajo Code Talkers.
During WWII these men
ciphered thousands of battlefield
messages in the Pacific theatre,
saving countless lives and helping
end the war. Few of these
men are still here today to tell
their account, but as Lance Cpl.
Devin Bidtah, a Navajo Code
Talker descendant explains, their
legacy still thrives, and their
story that inspired so many, will
be honored.
“The Navajos have a strong
history in serving,” said Bidtah,
a field radio operator with Regimental
Combat Team 2. “As my
Navajo elders are watching, I
try not to upset them. Being out
here, I try to do my best.”
Bidtah is not alone in his
efforts. Here at Delaram II he
has three brothers. They are
brothers as Marines, but more
profoundly, because their clan
ties bind them through the retracing
of their ancestry.
“Coming out here, the only
family you really have is your
platoon,” said Lance Cpl. Travis
Yazzie with 11th Marines.
After arriving, Yazzie and
Pfc. Uriah Billie, a high school
friend of Bidtah, saw him around
camp.
“I met Lance Cpl. Bidtah and
we talked. We compared our
clans,” said Yazzie, 22, from
Rocky Ridge, Ariz.
They discovered that they
were related. Along with Lance
Cpl. James Nelson, a friend of
Bidtah’s since radio operator
school, the four brothers now
enjoy a company others can’t
fully appreciate.
“When I found out James and I
shared clans, it brought us closer,
it made us family” said Bidtah,
20, from Shiprock, N.M.
For as close as they are now,
these Marines all have different
stories of how they came to be in
the same place. For Lance Cpl.
Bidtah, the events that brought
him here were set in motion by
the actions of his grandfather,
or cheii’, Leroy Johns Sr. and
his fellow Code Talkers many
years ago.
“I was going to join the army,”
said Bidtah, about the day he
was rummaging through his
cheii’s things. “I found the presidential
medal the Code Talkers
received.
“I have always tried to be the
best at everything, why stop?”
said Bidtah. “He was a Marine.
I wanted to follow on that same
path.”
That path Leroy Johns Sr. and
his fellow Marines embarked
upon was not an easy one. The
Lance Corporals Devin Bidtah and James Nelson,
Pfc. Uriah Billie and Lance Cpl. Travis Yazzie, share a
common past through their ancestors. Marine Corps
photo by Sgt. Dean Davis
fierce fighting in such places
as Guadalcanal, Tarawa and
Peleliu found the Code Talkers
battling the Japanese in dense
jungle and sweltering heat.
Because no written key to the
secret language was permitted
in theatre for fear it may be
discovered, these Navajo became
“walking codes,” carrying
the source of their encryptions
entirely by memory.
In the first two days of fighting
at Iwo Jima, the Code
Talkers transcribed more than
800 messages, with perfect
accuracy.
At the war’s end, they were
sworn to secrecy. The oath
these silent warriors honored
protected the secret techniques,
but also served to deny them the
accolades they deserved.
Decades later the Code Talkers
were acknowledged, and
awarded gold and silver congressional
medals, one of which
Bidtah found that fateful day he
decided to join the Corps.
“It’s an honor,” Bidtah said.
“It feels good knowing my
cheii’ did something good for
the Navajo people; his name;
our family.”
Bidtah, Billie, Nelson and
Yazzie continue to honor the
deeds of their grandfathers as
Marines by doing their jobs to
the best of their abilities. They
also revere the traditions of
their people. Through rituals
such as a “fanning off” ceremony,
where they burn bits
of cedar and talk about their
pasts and futures, they reflect
on the paths they have chosen,
hoping their actions will be
akin to those who have gone
before them.

‘Warhorses’ give parachutists a lift
by Lance Cpl. Lisa Tourtelot
Marine Heavy Helicopter
Squadron 465, the “Warhorses,”
might be known
primarily for their heavy-lift
capabilities - CH-53E “Super
Stallions” are the only helicopters
capable of carrying
each other - but the pilots and
crew get to show off finesse
when executing operations
as complicated and difficult
as parachute training.
The Warhorses flew 8 Marines
from 1st Radio Battalion
to practice static lineparachuting
with the new
MC-7 parachute system and
maintain the currency of
their training over Marine
Corps Base Camp Pendleton
Feb. 3.
A static line is a fixed cord
attached at multiple points to
the aircraft and to the parachute
so the chute deploys
as soon as the jumper leaves
the aircraft.
The pilots and crew of
HMH-465 had many things
to consider before launching
jumpers from their aircraft
- wind speed, the precise
length of static line needed,
the weight each jumper carries,
specific lines of communication
between the pilots,
crew, jump masters and personnel
manning the landing
zone.
The crew chiefs, who provided
a line of communication
between the jump masters and
the pilots, enjoyed assisting
with the unique training.
“I’m always curious when
I’m hanging my head out the
window if I could jump out
the back [of the aircraft],”
said Pfc. Michael Zawicki, a
crew chief with HMH-465.
Zawicki, on only his third
flight as a crew chief, explained
that he took advantage
of the training opportunity.

areas of operation. Navy photo by PO3 Kyle
Carlstrom
“It’s more hectic [than
flights without additional
passengers and crew] because
I’m paying attention
to everyone in the plane,”
said the Westminster, Calif.,
native. “I can now do more
in a [parachute operation]
because I know more about
how to coordinate everything.”
Thompson emphasized
the importance of parachute
operations in the improvised
explosive device-laden terrain
of Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Parachutes eliminate the
risk of IEDs because no one
is driving,” said Thompson.
“It’s one of the better means
of [inserting troops and supplies]
and reconnaissance
Marines use it all the time. If
we had the opportunity to do
this more, it could save a lot
of lives.”
High winds got the better of
the day’s jumpers and sent several
of them across the street
from the designated landing
zone. The rest of the Marines
waiting to jump would have to
wait another day.

announced Feb. 21.
The team members were officially
announced at the conclusion
of an adaptive sport training
camp aboard Naval Base Ventura
County.
“In addition to their incredible
athletic skills, our wounded
warriors personify resilience and
dedication,” said Capt. Bernie
Carter, Navy Safe Harbor director

“Events like the Warrior
Games motivate me and encourage
me to stay in shape,”
said Aviation Ordnanceman
2nd Class Selemani Johnson, a
new addition to the team. “They
remind me that my only limitations
are those I set for myself,
and that there’s still so much I
can do.”
Johnson was struck by a vehicle
while riding his motorcycle
in April 2010. He sustained a
spinal cord injury that damaged
his T7 and T8 vertebrae.
“It’s great to be a part of this
family again,” said Master-at-
Arms 3rd Class Nathan Dewalt,
a returning team member. “I
hope to serve as a mentor to
some of our new teammates, and
to show them how much they
can accomplish both on and off
the field.”
In 2008, Dewalt was also
involved in a traffic accident
while riding his motorcycle.
Throughout the training camp,
he provided guidance to new
wounded warrior athletes like
Johnson, who will compete
beside him in track and field
events.
The Warrior Games bring together
active-duty service mem-
bers and military veterans from
across the country, fostering
camaraderie and a healthy competitive
spirit. The games help
them discover new capabilities
they can apply to everyday challenges
and opportunities, and
encourages them to reach and
achieve a productive future.
The wounded warrior athletes
include service members with
upper-body injuries, lower-body
injuries, spinal cord injuries,
traumatic brain injuries, visual
impairment, and post-traumatic
stress disorder. They will compete
in the following sports: archery,
wheelchair basketball, cycling,
shooting, swimming, track and
field, and sitting volleyball.
The team is sponsored by
Navy Safe Harbor, the Navy’s
lead organization for coordinating
the non-medical care
of wounded, ill, and injured
Sailors, Coast Guardsmen, and
their families. Through proactive
leadership, Safe Harbor provides
a lifetime of individually tailored
assistance, designed to optimize
the success of enrollees’ recovery,
rehabilitation, and reintegration
activities.

Christiane Amanpour - ABC newswoman of the moment
by Liz Smith
“There were points in my
life where I felt, oddly enough,
irresistible to women. I’m not
in that state now,” says Jack
Nicholson, age 73.
I never thought I’d live to
read or hear this statement.
But thinking back on Jack’s
performance with the one
and only Diane Keaton in the
not-so-long-ago comedy hit
“Something’s Gotta Give,”
I don’t wonder. That Nancy
Meyers’ movie is so vivid,
so funny and so true to life
and Ms. Keaton’s character so
vastly superior to the Nicholson
character in every way, that this
film can be watched over and
over again.
FUN TO watch ABC pull
out all of the news chestnuts
from the fire that is Egypt
wanting democracy! Christiane
Amanpour, who had the TV
world wondering if her network
had made a big error in placing
The Origin
www.paradisebnb.com
her in the Washington beltway
news cycle on Sunday mornings
(re-placing some very good
men) has now cashed in with
the manner in which she went
right back to her khaki-shirted,
epaulet roots and took to the
streets of Cairo for the story
of the year. (CNN must be
astonished and ashamed of
letting her go to ABC!)
Then, she scored the world’s
biggest scoop, by getting into
the palace and talking al fresco
with Mubarak when nobody,
including Christiane, thought
that was even a possibility. Now,
I think she can write her own
ticket for a while at ABC under
news headman, Ben Sherwood.
She will definitely have a
lot of accumulated prestige
when she gets back home and
confronts the complications of
“inside” Washington, D.C.
She deserves the prestige but
not the complications of learning

(in Ballpark Square)
each week what pundits are lying
through their teeth and making
waves in the Beltway.
In the middle of international
news elsewhere, the Russian
people have decided by a big
polled majority that they don’t
care for Lenin anymore. They are
ready for him to be taken from
his Red Square mausoleum and
buried. But, hey, wouldn’t they
be losing a major international
tourist attraction? It’s not that
visitors to Moscow revere or
even realize who Lenin was.
Most people stand in line at the
tomb because they want to see
how a guy who has been dead
for 87 years, holds up when he is
lying down and all embalmed.
Maybe you read elsewhere
that the two happiest people
in the entire world live right
here in New York and we see
one of them, the famous half
of the duet, every week on “60
Minutes.” I’m talking about
our pal Lesley Stahl and I don’t
exclude her husband, the writer
Aaron Latham, from the mix.
(In the heyday of New York
magazine, he was the “hey” as
he wrote “Urban Cowboy” and
other great pieces.)
Lesley and Aaron recently
welcomed a baby girl out in
California via their daughter,
Taylor. The grandparents thought
long and hard about what the
newly born little girl, Jordan,
should call them when she was
old enough to talk. They didn’t
want to be “grands.”
So now they have decide.
Lesley will be “Lolly” and Aaron
will be “Pop.” The Lollypops are
ecstatic these days and they’re
saving their money for those
many trips to California.
FROM THE serious and the
divine, to the ridiculous/pathetic/
tragic. I do mean the latest
Lindsay Lohan misadventure.
Lohan, almost fresh from Betty
Ford, is accused of stealing a
necklace worth $2,500 from a
Los Angeles shop.
Lindsay says the store “loaned”
it to her. The store doesn’t seem
to agree. (A member of Lindsay’s
staff returned the bauble after the
store complained, but that wasn’t
enough.) The entire story, from
both ends, sounds shady. But,
alas, this is not the first time
the actress has been accused of
having sticky fingers.
I’ve been on this young
woman’s side for years, but
her penchant for being unable
to stay out of trouble has
caused even this writer to
wonder if she can be helped.
What is her problem exactly
- other than an absurd sense
of entitlement fostered by her
insane upbringing?
I am not one of the many
who go online and wish her ill
- that she die or rot in jail - but
I am getting to the point where
my sympathy level is dropping.
And unfortunately, Lindsay
is not terribly well liked in
Hollywood, whereas perennial
bad boy Charlie Sheen, with his
reported briefcases of cocaine
and porn stars and hookers and
assault accusations - he’s quite
well liked.
Oh, and he’s a man. There is a
double standard for misbehavior.
At this point it might not play
a large role in Lindsay’s sorry
saga, but it’s there.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Centers open to assist
There are more than 100
Navy Volunteer Income Tax
Assistance (VITA) Centers
around the world now open for
business, ready to assist Sailors
and their family members with
their taxes.
The VITA program provides
Sailors, retirees and their
dependent family members,
as well as Reservists in limited
cases and DoD civilians
overseas or deployed with
the U.S. Armed Forces, the
ability to get help with their
taxes, and to have their returns
prepared for free by IRS-trained
volunteers.
This year, there are seven new
VITA tax assistance centers:
USS George H.W. Bush (CVN
77), USS Enterprise (CVN 65),
USS Donald Cook (DDG 75),
USS Stout (DDG 55), Navy
Riverine Squadron 3, Navy
Explosive Ordinance Disposal
Expeditionary Support Unit
2 and Navy Strike Fighter
Squadron 106.
Lt. Janelle Kuroda, Navy
VITA/Electronic Filing (ELF)
program manager, said the
program helps Sailors and is
an integral part of their legal
readiness and quality of life.
“The purpose of this program
is to help out Sailors – primarily
junior enlisted Sailors and their
dependents – by providing a
means for them to get their
taxes done without having to
pay for services at commercial
tax preparation companies,”
Kuroda. “These companies
charge more than $170 for the
average electronically-filed
return. Many companies will
also try to talk Sailors into
getting a short-term, highinterest
loan that they don’t
need. Sailors should also be
aware that some companies
this tax season, are offering
‘free’ walk-in tax preparation
that really ends up being a
sales pitch for their other paid
services.
“Navy VITA centers are a
terrific resource for Sailors to
get free assistance with their
taxes almost anywhere around
the globe and afloat. Sailors who
electronically file their taxes at
our VITA centers can expect to
receive their refund within 8-15
days,” said Kuroda.
Kuroda recently assisted the
crew of the USS Higgin (DDG
76), currently on a six- month
deployment in the Western
Pacific, by contacting the VITA
center in Guam.
“Lt. Craig Thedwall, Officerin-Charge
of the tax assistance
center at Naval Legal Service
Office Pacific: Detachment
Guam, is a perfect example
of the outstanding service our
VITA sites offer to deploying
assets.” Kuroda continued, “He
went above and beyond the
traditional assistance normally
provided by the tax centers and
coordinated free shuttle service
from the Higgins to the center
and back, in order to make the
most of the ship’s limited time
in port.”
During the 2010 income tax
season, Navy volunteers with
the VITA/ELF program filed
more than 61,000 federal and
state tax returns, saving service
members and their family
members more than $7 million
in commercial tax preparation
fees. These filings resulted in
more than $81 million in federal
income tax refunds.
Individuals who would like
to have their taxes prepared
at a VITA office are asked to
bring valid photo identification;
W-2 forms for all jobs held
by family members; correct
social security numbers and
dates of birth for all family
members; employer ID numbers
for child care providers; bank
and routing numbers; child
care and education expense
statements; any other tax forms
received; and a copy of last
year’s return.
Kuroda said customers filing
joint tax returns will need both
signatures to submit the forms
to the IRS.
“If your filing status is
‘married filing jointly’ and you
wish you file your tax return
electronically, both you and
your spouse should be present

to sign the required forms,”
Kuroda said. “If your spouse
cannot be present, you will need
a valid power of attorney for tax
preparation.”
Kuroda said the exception to
this rule is for spouses in combat
zones. In those cases, the filing
spouse may electronically file a
joint return with only a written
statement setting forth that the
other spouse is in a combat zone
and is unable to sign.
This year, there are significant
tax law changes that will affect
many individuals, Kuroda
said.
“Recent tax law changes
enacted by Congress mean that
the IRS needs time to update
forms and tax software,” said
Kuroda. “This delay impacts
taxpayers who itemize their
deductions on ‘Schedule A,’
including mortgage interest,
charitable deductions, medical
and dental expenses, as well
as state and local taxes,” said
Kuroda.
“This also affects taxpayers
who claim the Higher Education
Tuition and Fees Deduction,
a deduction for parents and
students that covers up to
$4,000 of tuition and fees to
a post-secondary institution.
However, the delay does not
impact taxpayers who claim
other education credits such
*FREE HELMET
& GLOVES
With the purchase of a motorcycle
*Military Only.
TRANSMISSION
as the American Opportunity
Tax Credit and the Lifetime
Learning Tax Credit.
“The final group of taxpayers
that must wait to file are those
who claim the Educator Expense
Deduction, for kindergarten
through grade 12 educators
with out-of-pocket classroom
expenses of up to $250.” said
Kuroda.
She said VITA sites are aware
of these delays. The IRS plans
on processing these returns on
Feb. 14. Taxpayers may also
visit IRS Web site for the latest
information.
Alternatively, individuals
may also file their taxes for
free online, through Military
One Source.
The VITA program will
remain available for service
members, their dependents
and retirees through at least
April 18, with some sites
remaining open two months
longer overseas, and some sites
remaining open to prepare tax
returns for those returning from
a recent deployment. To find
the nearest VITA center, or for
more information, go to the

All-new Sawdust studio art classes for the new year
To help ring in the New Year,
the Sawdust Art Festival, in
collaboration with Laguna
Beach Visitors & Conference
Bureau, added some exciting
new classes to the Sawdust
Studio Art Classes’ schedule.
The year-round art education
program, which started last
October, is now offering all-new
special classes in glass, fused
glass, jewelry and ceramics. The
freshly updated Sawdust Studio
Art Classes schedule is available
online at www.sawdustarfestival.
org/studio-classes. Some of the
newly featured classes are as
follows:
“ G l a s s b l o w i n g ” w i t h
Sawdust Artists – Learn how to
blow glass in just one two-hour
session! Join one of our Sawdust
Art Festival glassblowing artists
in our famous Glass Hut, right
here on the festival grounds.
Students will experience what
it’s like to create a mini glass
masterpiece using hot maleable
glass straight from the kiln.
Beginners welcome. Class
fee includes all materials and
instruction needed. Class limit
of two students per class.
“Ceramic Harbingers of
Spring” with Ora Sterling
– Ceramicist, Ora Sterling is
offering a class that will teach
you how to make clay birds,
nests, and eggs.† These can
be used for indoor or outdoor
purposes.† This will be a fun
class that will get you in the
mood for all of the joys that
spring can bring! The birds and
eggs will be hand-formed from
low fire clay and the bird nests
will be extruded and formed
over a mold.
“Portrait Planters” with
Jan Sattler – Participants will
learn about the proportions
and locations of facial features
such as noses, eyes, mouth,
etc. A simple drawing will be
made of a face with correct
proportions. Participants will
roll out a clay slab to form a
basic face shape with the top of
the head open. This form will
be molded over† newspaper or
plactic bags forms. The face
form will be attached to a second
clay slab that will then be cut
out to form the back. Modeling
of the features will take up most
of the class time, creating a
character face. Once dry, the
planters will be bisque fired and
mailed to the participants. They
may be planted and hung on a
wall or fence.
“Fused Glass Pendant” with
Cindy Stalnaker – Create an
eye-catching sparkling dichroic
glass pendant with Sawdust
Artist Cindy Stalnaker.† Learn
the basics of glass-fusing and
dichroic glass.† You will have
the opportunity to choose your
glass colors, while learning
cutting and layering techniques
for fused glass.† No experience
necessary.† Note that due to
kiln-firing times, your pendant
will be mailed to you the week
after the class.† If you need
magnification glasses for closeup
work, please remember to
bring them.
“Twist & Turn: Silver Wire
Sculpture Earrings” with
Lorraine Hornby – Let your
imagination run wild to create a
unique pair of earrings! Using a
few simple hand tools, students
will learn how to transform a
length of wire into a work of
art. Class also offers the option
to add pearls and gems for extra
dazzle.
“Pendant Making” with
Sarvi Hosseini – This pendant
project is a fun one for beginners
where you can learn some basic
jewelry techniques using wire
to form shapes that are the basis
for the pendant.† Stones may be
wrapped to hang inside and be
part of the finished pendant.†
Using copper or silver wire,
students form the wire, file,
hammer and texture, along with
some wrapping techniques.† The
pendant then hangs from leather
straps with which you creatively
finish off this pendant project.

Omarr’s weekly Astrological forecast
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
You possess an instinct for
inspiration. This week is a great
time to develop ideas and outline
your future objectives. You
should wait until the end of the
week to make the first baby steps
in their direction.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
You are protected from your
own errors. You may find that
key relationships are filled with
forgiveness and forgetfulness in
the week ahead. Someone might
do something to help without
your knowledge.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Creative thinking carves a niche.
Your mind resonates with a
passion for making dreams a
reality. You might be tempted to
jump into new enterprises - but
wait until late in the week to start
anything significant.
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
Improvements are at hand. If
you are on the escalator heading
up, you must continue your
journey even if you see others
on their way down. Embrace the
blessings you are given in the
week to come.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You
can combine a soft touch with
a hard head. In the week to
come, you may share your most
ingenuous ideas and cherished
dreams with a very special
someone. Your realism makes
fanciful goals practical.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Whistle while you work. You
can easily prove you are able
to juggle more than one task
at a time in the week to come.
Serving others with dignity and
efficiency is a talent that wins
lasting approval.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.):
Your balance beam is broader
than usual. In the week ahead,
you are able to walk the straight
and narrow and avoid potential
pitfalls by simply putting one
foot in front of the other. Don’t
reach for more.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Your eyes are bigger than your
stomach. You might be in the
mood to make sweeping changes
in the week ahead, but could
spoil your future by going to
extremes. Exercise restraint for
best results.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): The end of the road is near.
Your plans for the future may
have been stifled by routines
into submission, but relief can
be seen ahead. This week, do
your best, and wait for a future
opportunity.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): If you can dream it, you can
build it. Your ideas for prosperity
and abundance will grow into
something worth pursuing if you
wait until late in the week to take
definitive action. Don’t spend
more than you earn.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): You tend to stay on the
move, with nothing to prove. It
is easy for you to communicate
your wants, needs, dreams and
desires. Avoid taking on credit
card debt or other loans in the
week to come.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20):
Moderation is the best policy. You
may yearn to own nice things, but
past transgressions or lessons from
past experience may make you
hesitate in the week ahead. You are
wise to avoid additional debts.

Grappling tourney attracts Southwest service members Marines get a choke-hold on MMA
byLance Cpl. Lisa M.
Tourtelot
Approximately 150 activeduty
service members from
across the West Coast converged
at Marine Corps Air Station
Miramar Jan. 22 to compete
in a submission grappling
tournament.
Marine Corps Community
Services, the MCAS Miramar
Submission Grappling Club
and Grappling-X, a tournamenthosting
company, worked
together to host the event.
Competitors, divided by
weight and skill level, battled
in both traditional gi and nogi
bouts. A gi-bout requires
grapplers to wear a traditional
martial arts uniform, but no-gi
grapplers wear street clothes
similar to what is seen on Ultimate
Fighting Championship.
P a r t i c i p a n t s s p a n n e d
from first-time competitors
to seasoned grapplers. The
varsity submission grappling
team from Marine Corps Base
Camp Pendleton, Calif., which
produced a large showing at the
event, competes in tournaments
at least once a month, and has
traveled as far as Poland to
grapple, said Corey Bennin,
head coach of the team.
MCCS officials explained that
they did not initially anticipate
the number of competitors and
teams who would register for
the event.
S u b m i s s i o n g r a p p l i n g
is increasing in popularity,
explained Shawn Fowler, owner
of Grappling-X.
“This is a gigantic community,”
said Fowler. “It’s a growing
community, especially with the
military. We see more and more
[service members] training off-

base.”
Todd Howard, the sports and
aquatics coordinator with MCCS,
explained that MCCS is planning
to host these tournaments at least
four times each year.
Bennin explained that
in addition to its popularity
among service members, the
various martial arts practiced
in submission grappling
complement the Marine Corps
Martial Arts Program.
“It gives Marines real-time
experience in a fight,” said
Bennin. “Marines learn to avoid
fights in town.”
The retired Marine explained
that the additional martial arts
training reinforces the self
control and decision-making
abilities promoted by MCMAP.
Grappling-X is scheduled to
post the tournament results on
their website, www.grapplingx.
com.
MCCS will advertise when
they schedule the next grappling
tournament.
T h e M C A S M i r a m a r
Submission Grappling Club
and Competition Team invite
all service members aboard the
station to participate in their
daily practices at Building 2525,
from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.
Programs for disabled veterans expanding
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is awarding two grants
totaling $7.5 million to the U.S. Olympic Committee to enhance
recreation and sporting activities for disabled Veterans and disabled
members of the Armed Forces.
“Many of our Veterans have experienced traumatic injuries while
at the peak of their physical conditioning,” said Secretary of Veterans
Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. “Our partnership with the U.S. Olympic
Committee will aid in their recovery by allowing them to engage
in therapeutic sporting events and competition right in their own
communities.”
Additionally, Christopher J. Nowak has been selected to be the
director of the VA Paralympics Program Office.
Under terms of the grant agreements, funding will be provided
to the Olympic Committee’s member organizations, Paralympic
sports clubs and Veteran and military organizations nationwide to
implement community-based, physical activity programs for disabled
Veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces. Disabled
Veterans can locate adaptive sporting events in their communities by
visiting the U.S. Paralympics Web site: www.usparalympics.org.
Public Law 110-389 authorized VA to award grants to the U.S.
Olympic Committee to plan, manage and implement an adaptive
sports program.
“This support from Veterans Affairs will have far reaching impact
in communities around the country,” said Charlie Huebner, chief of
U.S. Paralympics. “We know that sports and physical activity can
have a transformative effect on those with a physical disability.”
“These funds will help our community partners to expand and
provide greater access to sports programs for injured Veterans,
disabled members of the Armed Forces and all living in their local
area with a physical disability,” Huebner added.
Since 1999, Nowak has served You as a are prosthetics invited manager for VA
Healthcare Veterans Integrated Service to Network join the 4, which includes
Pennsylvania, Delaware and parts of Navy West League Virginia, New Jersey and
New York. A 17-year veteran of VA, he directs of a the $92-million budget

Nowak joined the Marine Corps 1983. His military career ended
in 1987, when the then-infantry squad leader per year. lost his right leg to
friendly fire during a routine training exercise. He is a champion
of sports rehabilitation for wounded soldiers and Veterans. He has
developed and co-chaired “First Swing” and “Next CallStep”
golf clinics
for amputee Veterans and is a former (619) member 230-0301 of the USA Amputee

With the growing popularity of Mixed Martial Arts intertwined
with the aggressive and physical nature of today’s military, it’s no
surprise that the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar Submission
Grappling Club and Competition Team is gaining momentum.
The free club started more than two and a half years ago and is
open to any active-duty service member - regardless of experience
- aboard MCAS Miramar, or Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego.
Marine Corps Community Services funds the club by supplying large
wrestling mats and a building to train in.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Christopher Diem, a USA Jiu Jitsucertified
instructor, leads the club and works with MCCS to find and
coordinate tournaments for the team.
You are invited
The club teaches a broad range
of MMA focusing on Brazilian
Jiu Jitsu, a ground based fighting
system of submission techniques
like choke-holds and joint-locks.
They also work on techniques
from the Marine Corps Martial
Arts Program and the Army’s
Combative curriculum.
“MCMAP is good for what it
is,” said Cpl. Jesse Cruz, a ground
radio repairman with Marine
Wing Command Squadron 38.
“It’s a lot of basic techniques
for a combat environment. Here,
we put it to practice and make
it more recreational and sports
related.”
Even though the environment
is different, the goal remains
the same.
“[Mixed Martial Arts] is
like a chess game,” said Cruz.
“You’re strategy is to always
be four or five steps ahead of
your opponent, setting him up,
waiting for him to make his
move and then countering it.
You’re always planning your
checkmate.”
Diem and MCCS are currently
coordinating two tournaments
for May 14. and Oct. 22.
The club practices from 11
a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through
Friday, in building 2525. For
more information contact Diem

Q: When Gracie, our 8-yearold
Golden Retriever, walks
on ice and snow it hurts her
feet. I realize that street salt
and ice are a problem, even
right in front of our high-rise
building. I’ve tried using
booties, but Gracie hates them
and runs away when I take
them out. Any advice? - B.D.,

History of
the World
by Mark Andrews
Feb. 22: ON THIS DATE in
1879, Frank Winfield Woolworth
opened a five-cent store in Utica,
N.Y. In 1924, Calvin Coolidge
delivered the first presidential
radio address from the White
House.
Feb. 23: ON THIS DATE
(approximately) in 1455,
Johannes Gutenberg printed the
first book, The Bible, on a press
with moveable type. In 1836,
Mexican forces besieged the
snow and ice they can develop
little ice balls in their paw
pads. This occurs in some
individual dogs more than
others.
There are alternatives to
booties. You could spray (nonflavored)
cooking spray, such
as Pam, on Gracie’s paws, or
use Musher’s Wax (available
at some specialty pet stores
and online). Both are pretty
effective at preventing ice from
building up and sticking to a
dog’s paws.
Booties do work best, but
desensitizing your pooch might
take some effort. Try Velcro
booties (easier than ties or
straps in many cases). For the
first few weeks, just deal with
the booties indoors. Start by
Alamo in Texas; all U.S. soldiers
and militia at the garrison were
killed.
Feb. 24: ON THIS DATE in
1917, the Russian revolution
broke out. In 1981, Britain’s
Prince Charles announced his
engagement to Lady Diana
Spencer.
Feb. 25: ON THIS DATE
in 1964, boxer Cassius Clay, a
7-to-1 underdog, beat Sonny

heavyweight championship.

only showing Gracie the booties
and offering her a treat. Once
she’s is no longer running away
at the sight of the booties, slip
one on and offer Gracie her
dinner.
The idea is to associate the
booties with something she
enjoys. Once she accepts a
single bootie indoors, slip on
another, then a third, and finally
a fourth. Once she accepts the
booties indoors, there should be
no problem outside. Some dogs
figure out pretty quickly that by
wearing the booties their paws
don’t sting.
Ask your building to use
a dog-friendly salt (such as
Morton Safe-T-Pet Ice Melt).
Not only is this salt far more
gentle to dogs’ paws, but it’s also
less damaging to concrete.
