America,Police State

By Chuck Baldwin

Only a blind or deliberately naive mancannot see that America — the once-proud

“land of the free” — is being systematically turned into a twenty-first century police state. Good grief!

The Heritage Foundation’s Index ofEconomic Freedom notes that America is not even listed among the “free” countries of the earth. We are ranked in the second tier, of “mostly free” countries. Beyond that, theHeritage index ranks the U.S. as only the 12th freest nation on the planet.

GOLF COURSE

And both the Republican and Dem-ocrat parties in Washington, D.C., are equally culpable for America’s slide into socialism and oppression. And so are many local and State leaders — including political, business, and law enforcement leaders. Suffice it to say that most big city governments have become almost totalitarian. Govern-ment buildings — even local ones — are sealed fortresses, not unlike the old palace-forts of antiquity.

In big and not-so-big cities, cameras monitor virtually everything we do. When traffic cameras were installed in my hometown, residents and local au-thorities seemed to see nothing wrong with it. These people are behaving just like those wild hogs that nonchalantly ate their food while the fence was be-ing built all around them.

In the name of “security” or “safe-ty” or “protection,” Americans are sur-rendering their liberties. Ladies and gentlemen, face it: freedom is risky

business! If our Founding Fathers had wanted security or safety, they would have stayed in Europe — or at least remained a compliant colo-ny of the Crown. So, if one wants government en-slavement in twenty-first cen-tury America, one should move back to Europe — or better yet, to Red China or North Korea!

Instead of de-manding that gov-ernment take care of us, we should be demanding that government get out of our wallets and off our backs, and let us live free, as our Creator intended we live! But how can we do that when we constantly clamor for more and more

government handouts and ben-efits? By demand-ing welfare checks, food stamps, government-assisted housing and medicine, etc.

Americans are putting the shack-les around their own throats. Even churches and religious institutions are gorging themselves at the government teat. America doesn’t need to worry about terrorist attacks from Baghdad or Tehran as much as we should worry about the terrorism from Big Brother — brought about with our own appro-bation — right here at home.

When will we recognize that the Department of Homeland Security would be more properly named the De-partment of Homeland Enslavement? When are we going to wake up to the fact that the Patriot Act is nothing but

America,Police State

a tool of the federal gov-ernment to usurp constitutionally pro-tected liberties?

When are we going to realize that the federal “war on drugs” inflicts more damage on the Bill of Rights than it does any major drug dealer? When will we get fed up with these random police checkpoints (manned by agents from virtually any and every police agency, including federal agents) going up everywhere? When will we tire of our local policemen and sheriff’s depu-ties more resembling military com-mandos than peace officers? In other words, when are we going to decide that we want to live in FREEDOM?

No-knock SWAT raid leaves father dead, family traumatized

FORT WORTH, TX — Gun-wielding, black-suited law enforcers busted into a home with a battering ram, terrify-ing everyone inside and leaving one man dead. Newly released helmet-cam video of the incident shows in graphic detail how this violent no-knock raid produced yet another casualty in the vicious War on Drugs.

The raid took place on May 16th, 2013. So-called “Zero Tolerance Offi-cers” from the Fort Worth Police De-partment staged raid on a suspected “drug house” with the in-tent of rounding up and imprisoning people for getting high without gov-ernment permission. Po-lice sought and received permission from Tarrant County Magistrate Chey-enne Minick to break into the home with no warning in order to sur-prise everyone inside.

As the video shows, sometime after 3:35 p.m., men in helmets and black uniforms sprinted through the yard with shotguns and pistols already drawn. A cop with a large steel battering ram instantly went to the front door and smashed it in without hesitation. From a first-per-son perspective, the video shows cops running into the home, aggressively screaming and aiming guns.

In a video obtained by WFAA, an of-ficer holding a shotgun literally sweeps his barrel past everyone he sees in the living room. First a large man sleeping on the couch, then a tiny female child dressed in blue, a woman in purple, and three men seated at a round table.

“When they came in, they had their weapons drawn like we were members of a drug cartel,” a woman who was in the house told the Star-Telegraph.

After sufficiently terrifying every-one with the surprise assault, officers proceeded to force everyone to lie face down on the floor in handcuffs.

from police. Darden, a large man who weighed over 300 pounds, was having physical difficulties after being forced to the ground with several officers on top of him. He was physically unable to breathe in that position due to his asthma condition, heart disease, and the weight of the police officers.

“They physically pulled him off the couch because, like I said, he was asleep,” explained his mother, Donna Randle, to CBS-DFW. “They pulled him off the couch and they tried to put him on his stomach. He can’t breathe on his

stomach. He don’t even lie on the bed on his stomach.”

Officers charac-terized his futile struggle to breathe as being “met with resistance.” At least five officers piled on top of him, exacerbat-ing his breathing prob-lem.

Video also shows Mr. Darden being tasered at least twice — not be-cause officers feared for their safety, but as a com-pliance tool. His body was painted with red la-ser dots, before a pop was

heard as the sharp prongs of the de-vice were thrust into his flesh. Sixteen seconds later, police jolted him again. Each jolt lasted for 5 seconds.

Witnesses said he was not resisting at all, only trying to breathe.

“He had his hands behind his back the whole time. But me and about five other people were hollering the whole time, ‘He cannot breathe like that. Please handcuff him on his side,’” said Randle. “But they ignored us and Tased him.”

Officers successfully handcuffed Mr. Darden, and eventually propped his limp body up into the sitting posi-tion. But he didn’t have long to live.

A witness, Cliff Crippen, said he saw paramedics bring Mr. Darden into the front yard to attempt to revive him.

“They were pounding on his chest and squeezing on an air bag,” said Crip-

AMERICA, POLICE STATE... EXHIBIT B

COEUR D’ALENE, ID — An officer shot and killed a dog that was waiting for its owner inside of a parked van. The officer later claimed it ‘lunged’ at him, but it was also revealed that he had his gun drawn the entire time.

The dog’s owner was Craig Jones, who was sitting inside a nearby restau-rant eating breakfast at the time of the shooting. His black Labrador, ‘Arfie,’ was waiting inside his van, with a win-dow half-opened for ventilation.

A Coeur D’Alene police officer ap-proached the vehicle, apparently

DURHAM, NC — A dubious police tactic has come to light, in which officers used falsified infor-mation in order to gain ‘consent’ to search private properties without a warrant.

Officers in Durham have appar-ently discovered that they can cre-ate the legal pretext for a search by lying about calls to 9-1-1 emer-gency services that never actually took place. The tactic is apparently legal — and commonplace — ac-cording to an officer’s sworn state-ments. WTVD-TV explains:

A Durham police of-ficer admitted under oath that he lied in order to gain entry to a home and to serve an outstanding warrant.

During a court hearing last May, court officials say he told a District Court judge that it was a common practice within Durham’s police de-partment.

He said he knocked on a resi-dent’s door, claiming police had re-ceived a 9-1-1 hang up call. But, it never happened.

The tactic was pervasive enough for the Durham police chief to issue a department memo immediately calling for its disuse:

It has recently been brought to my attention that some officers have in-formed citizens that there has been a 911 hang-up call from their residence

AMERICA, POLICE STATE... EXHIBIT C

Police faked 911 calls to search homes

911 CALLS, cont’d. on Page 26

because someone called police to re-port it being a ‘suspicious’ white van that bore similarities to one related to a child-luring case. The unnamed offi-cer went in with his gun already drawn, KREM 2 News reported.

Arfie sat in the van, anticipating his owner’s return. The officer claims that Arfie then “lunged” at him, and he shot the dog in the chest. Arfie died.

A photograph of the scene showed that the bullet had actually traveled through glass to reach the dog.

The officer recorded his actions as

necessary to protect himself from a “vicious pit bull,” when the truth was that he killed a black Lab sitting in a parked car. Mr. Jones said the shooting was unbelievable and his dog did not have a mean bone in his body.

Mr. Jones is devastated, the Associ-ated Press reported.

“I didn’t even know if he was still alive. They took him (Arfee) and left me a note, a card, on my windshield. No police officer in sight,” Jones told the Coeur d’Alene Press. “This guy just wounded me so deeply. This will never go away. This was my best friend.”

Jones, who is from Coeur d’Alene but now lives in Colorado, said he was in town because of the recent death of his mother.

Arfee, Jones added, went with him everywhere and his dog’s company was helping him mourn the loss of his mother.

“There’s no way I can just return to Colorado without my dog,” Jones said. “I was planning on moving back up here actually and was just going to go back to get my stuff. But something like this is such a catastrophic thing in my life that I don’t know where I can go to escape it. There’s going to be a cloud over my head for a long time.”

It is difficult to precisely under-stand the urge that certain police of-ficers feel as they unnecessarily shoot people’s pets while invading their space. It seems apparent, however, that if an officer is too jumpy to restrain his trigger finger when facing a pet, he is a clear liability for using unneeded force against human beings.

There has been no word on the of-ficer’s identity or the department’s intention to fire or discipline him. He was not placed on administrative leave. Jones intends to sue.

A Note fromCynthia Butler,Public AffairsDirector, S.D. Veteran Healthcare System

VA San Diego Healthcare Sys-tem has always worked to provide timely and quality care for San Di-ego Veterans. We recently received $11 million that we have used to reduce appointment wait times by adding more staff and sending some Veterans to community providers for care. Our wait times as of July 28, 2014 for established patient are four days for primary care and sev-en days for specialty care. For new patients the wait time for primary care and specialty care is 23 days. We welcome the congressional sup-port for possible additional staffing and facilities.

By Caterine GreenVoice of San Diego

Faced with a growing patient load, San Diego’s VA health care system has quietly cut back its outreach efforts to veterans who might qualify for care.

Over the last several years, VA San Diego Healthcare System, or VASDHS, has seen higher numbers of patients at its La Jolla medical center and commu-nity clinics, even as veterans of WWII and Vietnam die off and the veteran population in San Diego and Imperial counties starts to shrink.

VA San Diego Healthcare System’s Patient Load

The widening pool of patients has contributed to long wait times for ap-pointments, an issue that’s plagued VA hospitals nationwide. That epidemic was thrust into the national spotlight when it was revealed officials at a Phoenix VA hospital were vastly under-reporting the amount of time it took veterans to receive care.

The local decision to cut back on outreach came from CEO Jeff Gering well before the Phoenix scandal broke, said Cindy Butler, director of public af-fairs for VASDHS.

“Our growth is more than we can manage, and Mr. Gering’s the one who said we’re not going to go out any-more,” Butler said. “Our wait-ing time is get-ting longer, and we’re not getting more resources to manage it. So he doesn’t want to drum up more business.”

The health care system pro-vides a range of inpatient and outpatient treat-ments at its main medical center and six commu-nity clinics in Chula Vista, Es-condido, Imperi-al Valley, Mission Valley, Mission Gorge Annex and Oceanside. They do every-thing from sur-

VA slows outreach to potential patients

gical treatments to mental health ser-vices and geriatric care, and VASDHS is responsible for making its presence known to the veteran community.

Not drumming up more business means some veterans, most likely older generations unfamiliar with changing eligibility standards, might not know what care they’re entitled to.

VASDHS still does a considerable amount of outreach. It staffs booths at the Miramar Air Show, a military retir-ee fair, an annual veterans career and resource fair and is required by the De-partment of Defense to host day-long transition programs for groups of Ma-rines, for example. Program specialists in mental health and women’s health do their own additional outreach at community events.

It’s primarily smaller community groups that VASDHS says it no longer has the time or resources for.

“If someone’s having an informa-tion table somewhere at a fair, we’ve just had to re-evaluate and say we have limited staff,” Butler said. “There is a lot of information out there because San Diego is a pretty robust veterans community. There’s a lot of resources on the web, Courage to Call with 2-1-1 – there’s a lot of ways that people can find out about their benefits.”

The question is whether they know where to look.

“I think the younger veter-ans are better informed as to eligibility for health care,” Butler said, “but particularly the older veterans like (from) Viet-nam … If you go out in the com-munity and have an information table, often the first thing they’d say to you is, ‘Oh, I didn’t know I was eligible for VA health care.’ Because eligibil-ity has changed over the years.”

ment. For the sufferer, such a diagnosis should be the genesis of hope because effective treatment known and avail-able everywhere.

Who is, and is not,an addict?

As our culture evolves and abusive substances change, there is a constant need to refine the criteria that identi-fies someone as an addict. The year 2000 was the last time such changes were implemented. If you had an un-healthy relationship with alcohol or drugs you were classified as either an “abuser” or as “dependent.” A separate set of criteria applied to each. Soon problems became apparent. For exam-ple, under these guidelines, anyone un-der a physician’s care who was admin-istered a drug over a lengthy period for legitimate reasons met the criteria for “dependence.” So, if you suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and were forced to rely on pain killers, your body would

become physically de-pendent on that chemi- cal. You would therefore be dependent and lumped in with the heroin users even though you would have no desire to use chemicals if not for your condition. Professionals and clients alike said... huh?!

This didn’t make sense. So, come October 2014, the criteria identify-ing a person as an addict will change. The old categories of abuser and de-pendent are done away with. Even the terms “addict” and “alcoholic” are to be used in the most general sense. The “addict” who had a disease of “chemi-cal dependency” can now be assessed using a single set of criteria. If they meet the criteria they are diagnosed as having a “Substance Use Disorder.” One set of criteria, one disease. Equal-ly important, the new guidelines allow the counselor or clinician to identify the disease as “mild,” “moderate” or “severe” substance use disorder based on the number of criteria met. That’s great news. It means more individual-ized treatment for everyone.

ChemicalWarfare

with Keith AngelinMBA, CADC-II, CNDAI

In 1956, the American Medical As-sociation officially recognized alcohol-ism as a disease. Since then, the medi-cal community has treated addiction to alcohol and drugs the very same it has treated cancer and schizophrenia. Al-though the classification of addiction as a disease has been unwavering, the actual criteria identifying someone as having the disease have, over the past half century, continued to be refined. The newest changes are set to go into effect this October 2014. How will they affect you and/or the person you know who is abusing chemicals? Based on these new changes, who is, and is not, an addict?

Treated as a disease is a good thing

The good news is that we under-stand addiction. Even without knowing the actual chemical of choice, we know what symptoms to look for. We know that addiction causes other diseases or makes existing illnesses worse. We know addiction will always get worse if untreated, and that there is no “cure.” If ignored, addiction is fatal. We also know how to treat addiction to put it into remission for life. Not only is it a treatable, but it’s diagnosis as a disease means insurance will pay for treat-

1. The color of the car affects my insurance rate. Not true. Rates are based on safety features, the cost of replacements or repairs and other factors the driver brings to the ta-ble. So paint your ride any color you like.

2. I have no-fault insurance so that means it’s not my fault. Duh! Wrong. No-fault insurance means you only deal with your insurance company, regardless of who is at fault.

3. My friend wrecked my whip, so his insurance will cover it. Nope. The policy follows the car, not the driver. Think twice before lending out yours.

4. A ticket means my rates will go up. Not necessarily. If it was for something minor and it’s your first, the rates might not increase. Maybe slow down, and take a defensive driving course.

5. I already have auto insurance, so my new car is automatically cov-ered. Seriously? A shiny new car needs a shiny new policy.

HEALTH

There’s a spe-cial bond that a parent feels when they tend to the physical needs of their child. For example, I love it when my 4-year-olds (yes, that was plural; remember, I have triplets) come to me and say, ‘Daddy, could you button my shirt?’

I feel a special connection with my daughter when she lets me fix her hair into pick tails.

I’m purposely not sharing examples from my marriage because they’re too personal, but the point is that when we take care of someone physically, it cre-ates closeness.

It’s particularly spe-cial when one spouse cares for another because, unlike the parent child dynamic, it’s NOT necessary. In other words, your spouse can shave themselves. They don’t NEED you to be shaven. And that’s exactly why it’s an intimate experience...because the act is not practical. The only reason you’re taking the time to shave your spouse is to make a connection...to be in-timate.

Making special connections

Shaving your spouse’s legs or their beard is just one example. Here are some other possibilities:

• Button their shirt

• Cut their toe-nails

• Help them on with their coat• Brush their hair• Tie their shoes• Brush the lint off their shoulders• Take their shoes off at the end of

the day

Pick one of the above ways to care for your spouse this week, or come up with one of your own ideas. Whatever you

choose, do it gently. As you prob-ably know with your children,

you can just get the job done, or you can do it with love. Since your spouse doesn’t need you to do whatever you

pick, do it with love.

You’ll be amazed at how much love can go into buttoning someone’s shirt, for example. Do it slow. As you go from but-ton to button, rub the back of your hands against your spouse’s chest. If you see a hanging thread, bite it off gently with your teeth. Do you get the idea?

Since the Navy's Career Intermis-sion Program inception in 2009, 70 Sailors, men and women, officers and enlisted, across a variety of communi-ties have taken advantage of the pro-gram to pursue personal and profes-sional goals.

Interested in participating? Here are five things you need to know to take advantage of the program:

1. Sailors use the Career Intermis-sion Program for a variety of reasons, including to start a family or take care of family members, complete educa-tional goals, or to achieve personal goals (such as hiking the Appalachian Trail or doing humanitarian aid work in a foreign country.)

2. Sailors receive many benefits during their time on the program to include retaining active duty health

What is veterans court?Veterans Court takes veterans with

misdemeanor and felony convictions and places them on a separate track, giving them treatment designed espe-cially for veterans. Defendants in the program are closely monitored with regular court hearings and supported by Veterans Affairs and other commu-nity-based organizations. Participants are rewarded for success, and penal-ized for non-compliance with the rules. Only veterans who committed crimes as a result of a mental illness related to military service are eligible for the Court.

The program is a collaborative ef-fort between the Superior Court, Dis-trict Attorney's Office, Defense Bar, treatment providers, and the Califor-nia Veterans Legal Task Force.

Participants are carefully screened and placed into programs that will give

them the tools to treat mental health issues and become productive citizens. Many vets cope with problems when they return home from a deployment and must work to readjust to civilian life as well as to injuries and psycho-logical problems, which can lead to substance abuse or issues with the law.

To be considered for Veterans Court, defendants must have prior or current military service and be able to show some type of mental health issue re-lated to their service (post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, military sexual trauma, etc.). Trauma from combat is not always required. However, there must be a connection between the criminal offense and a military related mental health issue. Prior to acceptance into Veteran’s Court, each case must be screened and approved by a selection committee, which meets twice per month. Cases involving arson, sex registration, or prison sentences are not eligible.

San Diego Superior Court Judge Roger Krauel presides over Veterans Court, which meets every two weeks.

Tesla Motors recruiting military veterans

Tesla Motors, which is on a mission to bring electric cars to the masses, now has another goal: to become a leading employer of America’s military veterans.

Tesla’s workforce is exploding as it expands production of its Model S, pre-pares to launch the Model X crossover SUV and enters new markets overseas. The company now has more than 6,000 employees, and of those, 300 — or roughly 5 percent — are veterans, in-cluding its logistics director, former Navy officer Adam Plumpton. Another 600 veteran candidates are in the hir-ing pipeline, according to Geshuri.

StandDownwrap-up

The 27th National Stand Down for homeless veterans concluded having served 894 registered par-ticipants over the weekend July 18-20. While the number of single male veterans seeking assistance declined compared with previous years, families made up a larger segment of the population receiving services. The three day event ended with an afternoon graduation cer-emony for all participants in front of the stage on the upper athletic fields at San Diego High School.

“The increase in families at Stand Down has serious implica-tions for our community,” said VVSD President and CEO Phil Lan-dis. “This population represents a group that has significant unmet needs.”

A successful Stand Down would not have been possible without the support of nearly one hundred partner organizations including the Department of Veterans Affairs, Na-val Medical Center San Diego, the DMV, Sharp Healthcare and other community nonprofits such as Fr. Joe’s Villages providing services. Nearly three thousand volunteers pitched in, including hundreds of active duty members of the U. S. Military in uniform.

Stand Down’s philosophy is a hand up, not a hand out. The hand up is made possible each year by the dedication of San Diego veter-ans’ community, thousands of volun-teers, hundreds of partner nonprofit and government organizations, and numerous event sponsors.

Microsoft works with military after-service careers

Microsoft has announced the ex-pansion of the Microsoft Software & Systems Academy (MSSA) to Camp Pendleton (CA) and Fort Hood (TX), which provides a 16-week IT training program to eligible U.S. ac-tive duty service members as they prepare to transition out of the mili-tary. With the expansion, nearly 90 service members are benefitting from or have already completed the MSSA across three military bases. The first program launched last fall at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state.

The MSSA program is helping service members secure their fu-tures by preparing for high-skilled technology careers after their mili-tary service. Participants are taught by professors from Saint Martin’s University and Central Texas Col-lege, using a customized Microsoft IT Academy curriculum. Through interactive lessons and mock inter-views, participants receive training to prepare them for the final step: the opportunity to interview at Mi-crosoft.

The Selective Service System mis-takenly sent notices to more than 14,000 Pennsylvania men born between 1893 and 1897, ordering them to regis-ter for the nation's military draft and warning that failure to do so is "punish-able by a fine and imprisonment."

With the release of Marine Ad-ministrative Message 299/14, the Marine Corps will replace the Tem-perate Weather Marine Corps Com-bat Boot with the Hot Weather and Temperate Weather Rugged All-Ter-rain boot, beginning in fiscal year 2015, the new boots will be issued to recruits and officer candidates.

The RAT boots, according to the MARADMIN, have a longer useful life than the MCCBs and will show in the clothing allowance for each Marine. The allowance change will reflect the price difference and longer useful life of the RAT boot, decreasing the clothing allowance by $31.07 per active-duty enlisted Marine.

Retirees unlikely to faceUCMJ over legal potBy Travis J. Tritten

Retired from the military and want to light up a joint in a state that has legalized pot? Getting high will put you in a legal gray area, but no need to be paranoid.

The chances of being charged with a crime are prac-tically nil, legal ex-perts say, even though retirees are technically still subject to military law that forbids pot smoking anywhere, including Washington state and Colorado where recreation-al marijuana use is now allowed.

Cities and states around the country have adopted liberalized

pot laws in recent years as American views on the drug have mellowed. But the Department of Defense has said

unequivocally that servicemembers and civilian employees can never

use marijuana because of prohi-bition by the Uniform Code of

Military Justice and federal law, which

still considers it an il-legal street drug.

The long arm of mili-tary law also extends to retired servicemem-bers who draw pension

payments. In rare cases, the services

have recalled retirees to charge them with crimes.

U.S. Navy Command baseball caps are making a comeback by popular demand. Starting Sept. 1, U.S. Navy commanding officers will be autho-rized to allow their sailors to wear command ball caps with Navy Work-ing Uniforms, Types I, II and III.

Command ball caps used to be a mainstay withutility uniforms; they identified the ship a sailor belonged

to and also were a source of pride. However, when utilities were re-placed by Navy Working Uniforms, that uniform came with a matching eight-point cover. As a result, in 2010, the Navy implemented tighter rules on the use of ball caps.

Officials said feedback from sail-ors at all hands calls spurred the deci-sion to bring the cap back.

HEALTH

Marshall sees big improvement in the

secondaryWith the secondary being the No.

1 position of concern over the offsea-son, GM Tom Telesco re-signed corner-back Richard Marshall. Having shown steady progress in his starts during the regular season and playoffs, Mar-

shall signed a one-year deal to re-turn to the Chargers. A second

round draft pick of the Caro-lina Panthers in 2006, Mar-shall’s experience and familiarity in John Paga-no’s defense should play an important role in the

improvement in the sec-ondary. MP reporter Art Garcia Jr. caught up with Marshall during the first week of training camp and asked him about the up-coming season.

AG: How does it feel to finally be back in training

camp?RM: It feels good – especially since

I feel 100-percent healthy. Last year I was coming off back surgery and I wasn’t feeling like myself, but now I feel like I’m getting my movement back and I like the way I’m moving out on the field.

CHARGERS REPORT

AG: How early in the season last year did you hurt your back?

RM: I was coming off back surgery when I was released by Miami. I had surgery in November (2012), so last November during the season I was a year from back surgery and I started to feel good in November and Decem-ber and now that I’m feeling healthy I’m able to move around like I’m used to and play the way I’m normally used to playing.

AG: So getting healthy was the key to your turnaround last year because you showed steady improvement at the end of the year?

RM: Yeah – I started feeling bet-ter; started to be able to run like the way I know I can run. I was able to move like the way I can move … and now just being 100-percent out here I’m able to move and break the way I’m used to doing.

AG: You guys really seemed to come together as a defensive unit late in the season, what was the key to the turnaround?

RM: We just started getting better. We started getting more turnovers, whether it was fumble recoveries or interceptions – just more turnovers. We started playing as a whole (unit) and everybody was on the same page throughout that march at the end of the season. And we hope to build on that going into this season.

AG: Previewing this season, all the reports on the Chargers points to the secondary as the weak link. Does that motivate you guys to prove everyone wrong?

RM: If you’re honest with yourself, we know we didn’t play up to par last year in the secondary. Now we have some key guys in (Brandon) Flow-ers and (Jason) Verrett coming in to compete and we look a lot better right now as far as we move and how we are competing for balls. We look bet-ter now than we did during the season last year, so we just need to continue to get better.

AG: It looks like Flower’s signing brought some swagger to the second-ary, what do you think of him joining the secondary unit?

RM: I feel that Brandon is a good corner and he’s been playing for years

in the NFL and with him coming in here it brings another person to compete. Guys being healthy (is the key to success), Shareece (Wright) was hurt last year – he hurt his heel – and he’s healthy now… he’s able to move around and do some stuff that he wasn’t able to do last year. So we’re healthy now and we’re competing. We look different out here … we look different when we watch film and we just look different in the secondary period.

AG: You say you’re healthy now; did you train any different coming into this season as opposed to previ-ous off-seasons?

RM: Well last year during the off-season I really couldn’t train because I was rehabbing my back. This year I got back with my trainer and re-ally started training hard on build-ing muscle. Last year I played under 183-pounds and that’s a little under-weight for me. Now I’m 196-pounds – I got my weight back on me and I’m ready to move.

AG: Has the weight gain affected your speed at all?

RM: No, I gained muscle. That was a big part (of how I played) because I lost a lot of muscle when I hurt my back and now I can move, break and run faster than I did during the sea-son last year.

The Endzone:When asked he set any goals for

himself, Marshall replied: “I just want to be here and make plays when the plays come to me. I want to be a team-player, wherever the coaches need me to play I need to go in there and make the team better. I never go into a sea-son saying I have these certain goals that I must meet. I mean, everyone has goals about how many interceptions and tackles they want, but as a whole, I want the team to be good. My main focus is the team – if the team is play-ing good then that means we’re play-ing good in the back end. So as long as we’re playing good I’m fine.” Marshall started five regular-season games and both of the Chargers’ playoff games. He finished fourth on the team with 71 tackles, he also had six pass deflec-tions and one forced fumble.

By Ramona Shelburne | ESPN.comThe Los Angeles Lakers have

agreed to terms with Byron Scott to be their next head coach.

Sources told ESPN that Scott agreed to a four-year, $17 million contract with the Lakers, who hold a team option on the final year of the deal.

Byron Scott is the right man to start the Lakers’ journey from shawwmbles back to Showtime

Scott confirmed the agreement to KCBS-TV on Saturday night.

“It feels fantastic,” he told KCBS-TV. “This is a dream come true. I always wanted to coach the Lakers,

Scott gets 4 years, $17M from Lakers

especially when I got to coaching. It’s so unreal. I have to thank [general manager] Mitch [Kupchak], Jeanie and Jim Buss to give me this opportunity.”

Scott has been the front-runner for the job throughout most of the nearly three-month coaching search, which began when Mike D’Antoni resigned on April 30. His status as a three-time champion with the team during the Showtime era, his close relationship with Kobe Bryant and his familiarity with the current roster after having worked as an analyst all of last season for the Lakers television station, Time Warner Cable SportsNet, gave him the early edge.

Scott then impressed Lakers management during three interviews, the last of which took place after the team’s roster had been filled out and Scott was given a chance to articulate his vision for the current personnel.

The Lakers were impressed by Scott’s reputation as a disciplinarian, believing that temperament to be the right fit for a young team and able to take some pressure off Bryant in that area.

The Lakers interviewed a handful of candidates for the job, but after

making quick hires in their past two coaching searches, the franchise decided to prioritize the draft and free agency over hiring a coach.

The Lakers had contacted five coaches besides Scott about the position -- Mike Dunleavy, Kurt Rambis, Alvin Gentry, Lionel Hollins and ESPN NBA analyst George Karl.

Three of those candidates soon accepted new jobs after talking to the Lakers. Hollins was hired as coach of the Brooklyn Nets after Jason Kidd bolted for the Milwaukee Bucks, while Gentry (Golden State Warriors) and Rambis (New York Knicks) accepted associate head-coaching positions.

Bryant, who played with Scott in 1996 during his rookie season, offered a key endorsement during his basketball camp in Santa Barbara, California, three weeks ago.

“He was my rookie mentor when I first came into the league,” Bryant said. “So I had to do things like get his doughnuts and run errands for him and things like that. We’ve had a tremendously close relationship throughout the years. So, obviously, I know him extremely well. He knows me extremely well. I’ve always been a fan of his.”

By Jeri JacquinComing to theatres from director

Mike Cahill is the Fox Searchlight film “ I Origins” starring Mi-chael Pitt and Brit Mar-ling.

My first introduction to this superb storytell-ing was in 2010 with the film “Another Earth.” I knew after seeing that film I was going to be hooked on anything this director put in front of me. I was seeing some-thing I had been scream-ing for and hoped I would see it again. He has kept me waiting no longer.

“I Origins” is a film about Dr. Ian Gray played by Pitt who is a molecu-lar biologist studying the evolution of the human eye. Falling for a young woman by seeing her eyes on a poster, their time together is brief. Joined by lab partner Karen, played by Marling, they discover that the evolution they are studying is deeper than they could imagine. Now the implications will challenge both his scientific and spiri-tual beliefs.

I had the chance to speak with Mike about the film and its fantastic stars.

JJ: Hi Mike, I’m so thrilled to talk to you. The last time we spoke was for “Another Earth” along with Brit.

MC: Yes, I know. She has been very busy hasn’t she? I’m more of a slow burn taking three years to complete my work.

JJ: But what a three years it has been!

MC: Yes, what a three years.JJ: I saw the film and you’ve done

it again.MC: Thank you for saying that.

AT THE MOVIES WITH THE MOVIE MAVEN

Interview with ‘I Origins’ director Mike Cahill

JJ: You freaked me out, you got me thinking and I have a million ques-tions. I got in my car and said out loud,

‘I hate Mike’ {laughing}MC: Bravo, bravo that means I’m

doing my job. I am disrupting people’s world view one film at a time, one half hour at a time. {laughing}

JJ: You know that saying that ends ‘don’t disturb my universe’, well you disturbed it.

MC: Great! Now deal with this new paradigm.

JJ: So you know I have to ask, where did this idea come from?

MC: Believe it or not it came from a dream twelve years ago. One night I woke up after having an intense dream and wrote down this one sentence on a scrap of paper and the sentence was ‘the eyes of dead people return in new-borns’.

JJ: Whoa!MC: I started researching and learn-

ing about biometrics and it slowly built over the last 12 years. It became tons and tons of logged in research but it wasn’t until I met Michael Pitt at a gen-eral meeting in Brooklyn and we sat down for a cup of coffee to meet artist to artist. It was about half way through

a conversation that was inspiring, fun and in-teresting that I realize I was sitting before my Ian Grey. It took a hold of me and I thought he would be brilliant in this role. I told him the whole back-story of a

scientist who studies the eye. I told him he falls in love, loses love and falls in love again in a completely different way. He was inspired and we started working together right away. After that I jumped on the computer and put to-gether a script in two weeks. The ab-straction became concrete.

JJ: When you went back to Michael and say ‘hey, guess what?’ what was his reaction?

MC: He said, ‘oh you’re not mess-ing around, you’re serious!’ We liter-ally began working together. The thing that’s fascinating about Michael is that he really dives deep when building a character. He goes from the ground up and we had a wonderful opportunity to go to John Hopkins Medical Research labs and work with scientists there who are molecular biologist. We saw how to extract DNA and run gels and sequence genomes. It was really very hands on and exciting. Both Michael

August 2nd right here in San Diego comes the Gladiator Rock ‘n’ Run. Take a minute to visit www.gladi-atorrocknrun.com/event_august_2.html to find out more about the events and receive a $25 off entry with the code MILITARY25. You can also follow on Facebook at www.face-book.com/GladiatorRocknRun.

Founded by former American Gladiator Dan ‘Nitro’ Clark, he cre-ated obstacles that will test partici-pants to the maximum. Some of the obstacles might seem familiar to our military men and women and there’s a reason for that. His father was a Marine!

Taking that knowledge he cre-ated this one day event in San Diego that includes extreme obstacles and harsh terrain with a celebration at the finish line that includes music, beer and food for all.

Clark not only does this to allow everyone to challenge themselves, but he does it for charity. Their partner for the event is Talk About Curing Autism (TACA), a cause that Clark believes in whole heartedly that help families in need.

So you can imagine my thrill at getting a chance to speak with Dan Clark, or Nitro if you prefer, about what inspired him to create the event and people who make it even more special.

JJ: Hi Dan, thanks for talking with us about GLADIATOR ROCK N’ RUN.

Nitro: No problem, my pleasure.JJ: Tell me about GLADIATOR

AMERICAN GLADIATORS and I was a professional football player so I’ve always had athletics mixed with entertainment in my blood. In 2010 I finally worked my way up to run a half marathon so now I’m a bigger guy and started doing 5K and 10Ks. I felt this great sense of accomplish-ment. Then I thought there has got to be something better than just run-ning and pounding your feet into the pavement for two hours. What kind

TRAVELS WITH HOWARD

Visit beautiful,tourist-friendlyPanamaBy Howard Hianwww.travels-with-hian.com

A recent trip involved “kicking the tires” at the newly opened RIU Playa Blanca in Panama. One vacation souve-nir I always shop for is head wear. So, what could be more appropriate than adding an iconic Panama hat to my wardrobe? Another reason to own one — this is the Panama Canal’s centen-nial celebration.

It had been 20 years since my last visit to Panama City. At that time, it was an unremarkable third world capi-tol; grimy and run down. Landing at the sleek Tocumen International Air-port in Panama City was my first hint that a lot had changed. I was further amazed as my shuttle to the beachfront RIU Playa Blanca whizzed past glitter-ing skyscrapers lighting up the pictur-esque harbor. Arrival at the resort was welcoming and efficient; always appre-ciated after a long travel day. The styl-ish, comfortable room provided a quiet, restful night.

The Panama Canal is an essential sightseeing stop. I was able to stand near the lip of “the Big Ditch” at the Miraflore Lock (where there is also a visitors center). By chance, a tanker and a sailboat were both in the lock. Our guide estimated that the sailboat paid $800 and the tanker $300,000 for the transit; cruise ships pay up to $500,000.

Next on the schedule was a day-trip to Valle de Anton. This quaint village is located on the floor of a collapsed vol-cano crater. Its mild climate, trails and artisan markets make it an ideal tour-ist destination. A highlight was a hike through the rain forest to the Chorro El Macho waterfall. The area is also one of Panama’s premier birding spots and home to the Blue Morpho (one of the largest butterflies in the world) and the endangered Golden Frog.

Our tour stopped at the Tuscan in-spired La Casa de Lourdes, a bed and breakfast, with a world-class restau-rant. The setting is memorable, featur-ing lush gardens and mountain views. Sound asleep at the RIU that evening, I was awakened as my bed gently rocked and rolled to a 6.8 earthquake located off the coast 80 miles away. I called the hotel operator for confirmation and laughed when I discovered that we were both from California and perhaps the only two who realized what had happened.

Urban discovery followed as my home base moved to the cosmopolitan, five-star RIU Plaza in the financial dis-trict.Panama City offers upscale shop-ping and fine dining, but for me it pro-vided the opportunity to explore the Unesco World Heritage Site of colonial Old Panama, Casco Viejo. Perfect for wandering, there are restaurants, bars, shops, galleries and open-air markets. Don’t miss the informal Fish Market

(www.facebook.com/fish.market.pana-ma) serving first-rate Panamanian specialties.

Travel Information: My expe-riences at all RIU Hotels have been consistent; top-notch ser-vice and a quality product. Their new all-inclusive Playa Blanca Resort is a jewel. There are 573 guest rooms and suites, four restau-rants, five bars, disco, fitness center,

Just for 

LaughsOh, brother

A man gets home early from work and hears strange noises coming from the bedroom.

He rushes upstairs to find his wife naked on the bed, sweating and pant-ing.

“What’s up?” he says. “I’m having a heart attack,” cries

the woman. He rushes downstairs to grab the

phone for ambulance, but just as he’s dialing, his 4-year-old son comes up and says, “Daddy! Daddy! Uncle Fred is hiding in your closet and he’s got no clothes on!”

The man slams the phone down and storms upstairs into the bedroom, past his screaming wife, and rips open the wardrobe door. Sure enough, there is his brother, totally naked, cowering on the closet floor.

“You son of a b----,” the man says, “My wife is having a heart attack and you’re running around naked scaring the kids.”

Lingo bingoAn older couple, who were both

widowed, had been going out with each other for a long time. Urged on by their friends, they decided it was finally time to get married. Before the wedding, they went out to dinner and had a long conversation regard-ing how their marriage might work. They discussed finances, living arrangements, and so on.

Finally, the old gentleman decided it was time to broach the subject of their physical relationship. “How do you feel about sex?” he asked, rather ten-tatively. “I would like it infrequently,” she replied.

The old gentleman sat quietly for a moment, adjusted his glasses, then leaned over towards her and whis-pered, “Is that one word or two?”

Five important qualities1. It’s important to have a woman,

who helps at home, who cooks from time to time, cleans up and has a job.

2. It’s important to have a woman, who can make you laugh.

3. It’s important to have a woman, who you can trust and who doesn’t lie to you.

4. It’s important to have a woman,

who is good in bed and who likes to be with you.

5. It’s very, very important that these four women do not know each other.

Title goes to...Four Catholic men and a Catholic

woman were having coffee in St. Pe-ters Square. The first Catholic man tells his friends, “My son is a priest, when he walks into a room, everyone calls him ‘Father’.” The second Catho-lic man chirps, “My son is a Bishop. When he walks into a room people call him ‘Your Grace’.” The third Catholic gent says, “My son is a Cardinal. When he enters a room everyone bows their head and says ‘Your Eminence’.” The

fourth Catholic man says very proudly, “My son is the Pope. When he walks into a room people call him ‘Your Ho-liness’.” Since the lone Catholic wom-an was sipping her coffee in silence, the four men give her a subtle, “Well .........?” She proudly replies, “I have a daughter, slim, tall, 38” DD bust, 24” waist and 34” hips. When she walks into a room, everybody says, “Oh My God.”

songs, I started to feel better. I finished my coffee, and noticed that everybody was staring at me.... Then I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my iPod.

But honey, you said...Four friends spend weeks planning

the perfect desert camping and riding trip. Two days before the group is to leave Rob’s wife puts her foot down and tells him he isn’t going. Rob’s friends are very upset that he can’t go, but what can they do. Two days later the three get to the camping site only to find Rob sitting there with a tent set up, firewood gathered, and supper cooking on the fire. “Dang man, how long you been here and how did you talk your wife into letting you go?” “Well, I’ve been here since yesterday. Yesterday evening I was sitting in my chair and my wife came up behind me and put her hands over my eyes and said ‘guess who’?” I pulled her hands off and she was wearing a brand new see-through nightie. She took my hand and took me to our bedroom. The room had two doz-en candles and rose pedals all over. She had on the bed, handcuffs and ropes! She told me to tie and cuff her to the bed and I did. And then she said, “Now, you can do what ever you want.”

Robot for saleA father buys a lie detector robot

that slaps people when they lie. He decides to test it out at dinner one

night. The father asks his son what he did that afternoon. The son says, “I did some homework.” The robot slaps the son. The son says, “Ok, Ok, I was at a friend’s house watching mov-ies.” Dad asks, “What movie did you watch?” Son says, “Toy Story.” The robot slaps the son. Son says, “Ok, Ok, we were watching porn.” Dad says, “What? At your age I didn’t even know what porn was.” The robot slaps the father. Mom laughs and says, “Well, he certainly is your son.” The robot slaps the mother.

Logic... notTwo Tennessee Rednecks, Bubba

and Jim Bob, are sitting at their fa-vorite bar, drinking beer. Bubba turns to Jim Bob and says, “You know, I’m tired of going through life without an education. Tomorrow I think I’ll go to the Community College, and sign up for some classes.” Jim Bob thinks it’s a good idea, and the two leave. The next day, Bubba goes down to the college and meets the Dean of Admissions, who signs him up for the four basic classes: Math, English, History, and Logic. “Logic?” Bubba says. “What’s that?”

The dean says, “I’ll show you. Do you own a weed-eater?”

“Yeah.” “Then logically speaking, because you own a weed-eater, I think that you would have a yard.” “That’s true, I do have a yard.”

“I’m not done, the dean says. “Be-

cause you have a yard, I think logically that you would have a house.” “Yes, I do have a house.” “And because you have a house, I think that you might logically have a family.” “I have a family.”

“I’m not done yet. Because you have a family, then logically you must have a wife.” “Yes, I do have a wife.”

“And because you have a wife, then logic tells me you must be a heterosex-ual.” “I am a heterosexual. That’s amaz-ing, you were able to find out all of that because I have a weed-eater.”

Excited to take the class now, Bubba shakes the Dean’s hand and leaves to go meet Jim Bob at the bar. He tells Jim Bob about his classes, how he is signed up for Math, English, History, and Logic. “Logic?” Jim Bob says, “What’s that?”

Bubba says, “I’ll show you. Do you have a weed-eater?” “No.” “Then you’re a queer.

Vy nodtIt was a hot day in Minnesota. Hel-

ga hung the wash out to dry and then went into town to pick up her dry cleaning. “Gootness, its hotter den hell today,” she mused to herself as she walked down Main Street.

She passed a tavern and thought to herself, “Vy nodt.” She walked in and quietly took a seat at the end of the bar.

The bartender walked up to her and said, “And what would you like to drink today?”

“Vell Ya know,” Helga said in a timid voice, “I don’t usually go into da bars, but today I vill make an excep-tion. It iss zo hot, I tink I vill have my-self a beer.”

The bartender smiled at Helga and asked,” Anheuser Busch?”

Helga blushed and said; “Vell, it’s fine tanks, und how’s yur viener?”

For everyone who scored a 2 or above I urge you to 1.) be especially careful, and, 2.) be assessed by a professional to find out if you have a substance use disorder, the sever-ity, and what to do about it. The worst thing you can do is do nothing. If you or a loved one is suffering, contact me and I’ll point you in the right direction.

“We never said that we could not handle more patients, just that we were concerned about patients potentially waiting too long for appointments,” As-sociate Director Cynthia Abair wrote in an email.

“The truth is that the VA San Diego Healthcare System can handle addi-tional patients,” said Gering.

Between October 2013 and May of this year, VASDHS saw 3,646 patients, a 6 percent increase over the same pe-riod last year.

Gering said there are many possible reasons for the influx of patients, “one which we believe is that the growth is due to the strong reputation of the San Diego VA in the community.”

According to the Veterans Health Administration’s national audit in mid-April, 334 new patients couldn’t secure appointments at VASDHS until after 90 days. As of June 15, the latest data available, there were 360 new patients on the Electronic Waiting List.

That number had fallen from June 1 data, which counted 375. The jump from the original count represents vet-erans who might’ve already been in

primary care through the VA, but now need to see a specialist or visit a clinic, Butler said. But she said she couldn’t explain the difference in numbers be-cause the data had come out of the na-tional office, and “we don’t know how they were calculated.”

In an effort to tackle its backlog, VASDHS is using $11 million out of next year’s operating budget to pay for some new patients to be seen by pri-vate doctors outside of the VA.

Some San Diego veterans still might be in the dark about available servic-es. Bill York is COO of 2-1-1, a service that wrangles resources for the local veteran community and communicates what’s available to veterans. “I would probably have to agree that older gen-erations that maybe have not connect-ed to the VA in the past might not be aware of these things that they’re eli-gible for,” York said.

Shrinking outreach efforts haven’t entirely been the local system’s fault. Toward the end of 2012, the federal VA began a gradual process to privatize its transition workshops for service mem-bers about to re-enter civilian life. In the workshop’s previous iteration, staff members from the VA benefits office were given four hours for their pre-

sentation on disability compensation, Butler said. VASDHS was given a half-hour of that time to overview care and services.

But when the privatized version, called Transition GPS, was rolled out last year, Butler and her team got the directive from Washington they would no longer be allowed to participate. Instead, federal VA contractors give a six-hour presentation on care and compensation during the last day of the five-day workshop, according to a spokesman for Navy Region Southwest, whose separating sailors are required to complete the workshops.

Both by its own hand and because of outside forces, VASDHS has narrowed the scope of its outreach. The impact of that shift might only be felt by those who aren’t actively engaged in San Diego’s veteran community – the ones who could benefit most from access and information.

“We’ve seen seniors not know about the benefits,” York said. “They just never connected in the first place. … Often non-wartime…veterans don’t always even identify and realize that they’re potentially eligible for benefits, so we do see some from those eras – the Cold War era, the mid-’80s, after Desert Storm.”

Even the term “veteran” can be alienating for these service members. “We even ask the question, ‘Did you serve in the military?’” York said. “De-pending on when they served, ‘Yeah, well I am but I’m not connected,’ or ‘I’ve never been to the VA.’ There’s an opportunity there.”

pen, 29. “I saw his arm fall limp and a police officer place it back on his chest, and I thought to myself, ‘He’s dead.’”

Crippen commented on the lack of urgency to reach the hospital: “They sat in the ambulance about 10 minutes before it moved. And then it rolled away, no lights, no sirens.”

Jermaine “DJ” Darden was pro-nounced dead at the hospital. He left behind a wife and 2 teenage sons. He was found him with nothing illegal in his possession.

It took months for the medical ex-aminer to declare an official cause of death. While some expected the death to be a homicide, it was instead an-nounced that Mr. Darden died of “natu-ral causes.” No culpability was placed on the officers’ use of force or the mul-

tiple electrical shocks. Officially, it was just a coincidence that he died during the raid.

“No, he didn’t die of natural causes, because if that’s the case, he would have [already] been dead,” his mother said. “They gave him a heart attack. They put him into a heart attack.”

Presented with a dismissive expla-nation for Darden’s death, a grand jury predictably let off the sole unnamed police officer who was reviewed for criminal liability.

The rivers of blood spilled in such senseless situations provides us with the most compelling and personal rea-son to end the violent Drug War. None of this would have the chance to hap-pen if the government wasn’t fixated on micromanaging people’s personal decisions, sending enforcers who are prepared to kill or be killed in the name of senseless prohibition laws.

in order to obtain consent to enter for the actual purpose of looking for wanted persons on outstanding warrants. Effec-tive immediately no officer will inform a citizen that there has been any call to the emergency communications center, in-cluding a hang-up call, when there in fact has been no such call.

– Jose L. Lopez, Sr., Chief of PoliceChief Lopez deserves credit for re-

jecting the practice within his depart-ment. But the situation is troubling and raises many questions. But how perva-sive is the tactic elsewhere? What can protect people in other jurisdictions from being searched using deception?

Is this one of those situations that qualifies as an “unreasonable search” which is prohibited under the 4th Amendment?
