Josh Diddams, RAS AL KHAIR, Saudi Arabia - U.S. Marines and Sailors with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), along with members of the Royal Saudi Naval Forces officially concluded exercise Red Reef 15 with a joint demonstration in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Dec. 16. “Exercises like this are great for our two countries, but what’s really important, is coming together as [U.S. and Saudi] Marines sharing this training and our cultures,” said 1st Lt. Cory Moyer, 81mm mortar platoon commander, Battalion Landing Team 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, 11th MEU. Red Reef 15 is a biennial, bilateral exercise between the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, set to increase proficiency, expand levels of military-to-military cooperation and promote long-term regional stability, interoperability and freedom of navigation. From joint mortar ranges and simulated assaults through urban environments, to medical training and casualty evacuations, U.S. and Saudi Marines honed their interoperability and demonstrated commitment to regional partnership. Over the nine-day span, 11th MEU personnel worked, trained and lived alongside Saudi Marines from the 1st, 3rd, 5th Saudi Marine Battalions and the Saudi Naval Special Forces. 2 • www.armedforcesdispatch.com • THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2014 Supporting the Marines of the landing force were U.S. Navy assets from Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 5, including amphibious transport dock ship USS San Diego (LPD 22) and dock landing ship USS Comstock (LSD 45), both providing ship-to-shore connectors and landing platforms for aircraft in support of the training.

GhostSwimmer is the latest in a series of science-fiction-turned-reality projects developed by the chief of naval operations’ Rapid Innovation Cell project, Silent NEMO. Silent NEMO is an experiment that explores the possible uses for biomimetic, unmanned underwater vehicles in the fleet. Over the past several weeks, Boston Engineering’s tuna-sized device has been gathering data at JEBLC-FS on tides, varied currents, wakes, and weather conditions for the development of future tasks. “This project and others that we are working on at the CRIC are important because we are harnessing the brainpower and talents of junior Sailors,” said Capt. Jim Loper, department head for Concepts and Innovation, NWDC. “The opportunity for a young Sailor who has a good idea to get that idea heard, and to get it turned into action, is greater [now] than any other time in our Navy’s history.” “GhostSwimmer will allow the Navy to have success during more types of missions while keeping divers and Sailors safe,” said Michael Rufo, director of Boston Engineering’s Advanced Systems Group. The GhostSwimmer was developed to resemble the shape and mimic the swimming style of a large fish. At a length of approximately 5 feet and a weight of nearly 100 pounds, the GhostSwimmer vehicle can operate in water depths ranging from 10 inches to 300 feet. “It swims just like a fish does by oscillating its tail fin back and forth,” said Rufo. “The unit is a combination of unmanned systems engineering and unique propulsion and control capabilities.” Its bio-mimicry provides additional security during low visibility intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions and friendly hull inspections, while quieter than propeller driven craft of the same size, according to Navy Warfare Development Command (NWDC). The robot is capable of operating autonomously for extended periods of time due to its long-lasting battery, but it can also be controlled via laptop with a 500-foot tether. The tether is long enough to transmit information while inspecting a ship’s hull, for example, but if operating independently (without a tether) the robot will have to periodically be brought to the surface to download its data. Enter this week’s contests on pages 9 and 11 for a chance to win a great prize. The GhostSwimmer vehicle, developed by the Chief of Naval Operations Rapid Innovation Cell project Silent NEMO, undergoes testing. Project Silent NEMO is an experiment which explores the possible uses for a biomimetic device developed by the Office of Naval Research.

U.S., U,K. navies sign framework for future cooperation Navy commands receive Federal Energy and Water Management Award by MC1 John Belanger WASHINGTON - Four Navy Commands were honored with the Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) 2014 Federal Energy and Water Management Awards at the National Archives Dec. 9. “The Department of Energy presents these awards annually with assistance from participating agencies and of the Federal Interagency Energy Management task force,” said Timothy Unruh, DoE FEMP director. “Since the first of these awards was presented in 1981, FEMP has recognized more than 1,200 winners.” This year FEMP honored 25 individuals and teams with Federal Energy and Water Management Awards. The recipients collectively contributed to saving approximately 2 trillion British thermal units (Btu) of energy, 1.3 billion gallons of water, 18.1 million gallons of fuel, and $115.8 million in energy and water cost in fiscal year 2013. The Navy has 70 installations around the globe, all of which are engaged in energy and water management efforts. Out of those, four commands stood out as exemplary for the DoE’s FEMP award. They are: - NAS Oceana, Virginia Beach, Va., which received an award for their energy program initiatives that saved 18 billion Btu and 39 million gallons of water. - Naval District Washington, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Washington, D.C., which received an award for their comprehensive energy program that reduced energy intensity by nearly 19 percent and 13 percent from the respective baselines across the region’s six installations. - NAWS China Lake, Calif., which received a project award for completing construction of a 13.78 megawatt solar photovoltaic system, the largest solar plant in the Navy. - Public Works Department, Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, which received a project award for implementing an air conditioning improvement project that saves 61 billion Btu and $2 million annually. WASHINGTON - Leaders of the U.S. and British navies agreed on a shared vision for closer cooperation Dec. 11, the culmination of a yearlong effort that will build on a long-standing maritime partnership over the next 15 years. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert and his counterpart in the United Kingdom, First Sea Lord Sir George Zambellas, signed a combined strategic narrative that articulates a shared vision for deeper cooperation between the U.S. Navy and the Royal Navy. “The United States and the United Kingdom rely on our navies to project power in critical regions and to protect the freedom of navigation that underpins the global economy,” said Greenert. The narrative, titled “Combined Seapower: A Shared Vision for Royal Navy-United States Navy Cooperation,” is the culmination of a yearlong effort by a RN-USN study group formed in September 2013 to identify opportunities to enhance ties. “The narrative provides a strategic vision to sustain and enhance cooperation between our two navies so that we can provide forward presence and be where it matters, when it matters,” Greenert said. The U.S. and U.K. navies share a common naval heritage and legacy of collaboration since the first half of the 19th century. More recently, a combined RN-USN destroyer squadron staff completed a nine-month deployment to the U.S. 6th and 5th Fleet areas of responsibility in April. Royal Navy personnel were part of a staff that served aboard USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) and supported the sea combat commander for the strike group. RN sailors also train aboard USN aircraft carriers as the Royal Navy constructs aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, the lead ship of her class. The United Kingdom currently has 15 pilots training in U.S. Navy units. The two navies also work closely on countering piracy, supporting disaster relief efforts, and fighting terrorism globally. The narrative builds on these collaborative efforts and includes the following five features that will characterize the RN-USN partnership going forward: interoperability and mutual technology investment; combined aircraft carrier operations; force and capability planning; officer exchanges; and collaborative force management. “This combined narrative represents a new and exciting opportunity for our two nations to build on shared national interests through the value of credible seapower,” said Zambellas. “It is a powerful statement of our shared maritime ambition, it cements our maritime leadership, and it delivers an even deeper partnership between our navies, to the mutual strategic and operational advantage of both the U.K. and U.S.” The narrative represents a commitment by both navies to work together to achieve shared economic and security interests in the 21st century. This cooperation will ensure that the U.S. and the U.K. remain leaders in the increasingly important maritime domain. Naval leaders discuss bilateral logistics partnership between U.S., Japan by Sky M. Laron YOKOSUKA, Japan - Naval logistics leaders from the U.S. and Japan met Dec. 4 at the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force Maritime Staff Office in Tokyo for the 7th annual N4-N4 Talks to discuss logistics in action and their bilateral relationship. Taking care of ships and ensuring parts and supplies are delivered on time to the vessels and Sailors who need them is a priority for naval supply leaders from both the United States and Japan. Understanding how each service conducts business was an important part of the discussion between the two delegations. “It’s a great honor to host these Navy to Navy talks,” said Capt. Tomonori Yokota, director of Logistics Planning and Supplies Division, Logistics Department, MSO. “Understanding each other’s logistics systems is invaluable for the U.S. and Japan.” The topics of conversation included everything from port visit processes to the transportation of supplies and equipment, with both sides sharing where they have had successes as well as difficulties in executing their mission. “With the tyranny of distance in this AOR (area of responsibility) it is absolutely critical that we have the best lines of communication in place to ensure material gets to where it needs to go,” said Cmdr. Mark Sheffield, Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Yokosuka, Operations Department director and N4-N4 U.S. presenter. “When you look at NAVSUP’s support to operations spanning from the Aleutian Islands to Sydney and Guam to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, understanding what capabilities and material needs to be where and when is vital because ultimately we exist to ensure these ships perform their mission of defending the interests of the United States of America and keeping the sea lanes open.” Business & Service Directory !!Attention Military!!

Donations accepted to the California Mexican American Veterans Memorial SACRAMENTO - The California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) encourages Californians to honor Mexican American Veterans this holiday season by making a donation to help beautify and enhance the California Mexican American Veterans Memorial - The only memorial of its kind on state capitol grounds nationwide. “We are close to having enough money to begin the building phase of this project,” said Mirtha Villarreal-Younger, CalVet Deputy Secretary Minority Veterans Affairs. “When renovations are complete, the memorial will be more beautiful, interactive, and engaging than its founders ever imagined.” The memorial was originally conceived by a group of Mexican American mothers to honor the service of husbands and sons lost during World War II. Known as El Soldado, the memorial was funded by community donations and dedicated in 1951. Weathered and worn over time, the memorial is badly in need of restoration. Making an online donation to the Mexican American Beautification and Enhancement Committee is easy and secure. To donate online, go to www.el-soldado.org. To donate by mail, send your check to: California Mexican American Veterans’ Memorial c/o California Department of Veterans Affairs 1227 O Street, Room 300, Sacramento, CA 95814 Donations of $25 are encouraged, but donations of any amount are greatly appreciated and tax deductible.

FREE SD LAX SHUTTLE WITH ASIANA AIRLINES The House Veterans Affairs Committee (HVAC), Health Subcommittee recently held a hearing on expanding the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Caregiver Program. Currently, the program only covers veterans disabled in the line of duty since September 11, 2001. FRA supports the “Caregivers Expansion and Improvement Act” (S. 851/H.R. 3 3 8 3 ) sponsored by SVAC Chairman Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) and Rep. Elizabeth Esty (Conn.), respectively, which enables all veterans with a serious service-connected injury eligibility to participate in the family caregiver services program. The current program provides assistance to 18,000 caregivers each who provide care for a disabled veteran. There are actually 5.5 million caregivers; including them all in the law would cost an additional $2.6 billion annually. Spouses make up 75 percent of all current caregivers. These family members and loved ones shoulder the daily responsibilities of bathing, feeding, dressing, managing medication and injections, arranging for rehabilitation, and more. A RAND study commissioned by the Elizabeth Dole Foundation estimates the services they provide save our nation $13.6 billion annually, yet these caregivers too often pay a price - suffering physical and emotional stress and illnesses; difficulty maintaining employment; financial, legal and family strains; and isolation. The Association appreciates the subcommittee holding a hearing on this important issue and will continue to work to raise awareness of the challenges facing the 5.5 million volunteer caregivers to America’s wounded warriors. __________________________ NewsBytes is FRA’s weekly legislative update.

Be sure to include hometown cities and states, and NAVCO will share the stories with the featured Sailors’ hometown media across the country. NAVCO will also provide each participating command a media feedback report with links to all coverage. Through a new program, the Navy Office of Community Outreach (NAVCO) stands ready to help commands throughout the Navy share these stories with each honoree’s home town media. NAVCO has developed and deployed a new hometown media outreach program to share content with media across America. In 2014, using creative procedures and leveraging an industry-standard media access suite, nearly 4,200 stories and photos have been placed in Sailors’ hometown media across the country, with a cumulative audience of nearly 73 million -- almost a quarter of the U.S. population. Commands can take advantage of this service by simply submitting Sailor of the Year and similar stories and photos, which are likely being produced for internal media already, to NAVCO via email at [email protected]. “We’ve all seen the commercial featuring the big red ‘Easy’ button,” said Cmdr. James Stockman, NAVCO director. “Think of the NAVCO Media Outreach program as your own personal ‘Easy’ button for getting your best Sailors and Navy civilians recognized in their hometown media.” NAVCO’s hometown media outreach program helps tell the Navy story through Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr., commander of U.S. Pacific Fleet, greets and congratulates Ship’s Serviceman Seaman Idaresit Udofia, the Bluejacket of the Year aboard the guidedmissile destroyer USS John Paul Jones (DDG 53). Harris is in the midst of a his first visit to San Diego since assuming command of Pacific Fleet in October. In addition to visiting ships and commands to hear from Sailors, he is also meeting with Navy leaders in the area, and will address Reserve Officers Training Corps program students at the University of San Diego.

The program is one of many NAVCO employs to increase Americans’ understanding of the Navy, its people and its importance to national security and prosperity. An ancillary but no less significant benefit is the positive impact on the morale of the participating Sailors and Navy civilians.

Along with average number of sunny days, factor in cost of living, residents’ sense of wellbeing, quality of health-care, crime and, yes, humidity, and the best destination is (surprise!) South Dakota, according to a 2014 Bankrate report. “As this report correctly suggests, pre-retirees need to consider a lot more than snow days and tradition,” says Rodger Friedman, founding partner and wealth manager at Steward Partners Global Advisory and author of “Forging Bonds of Steel,” (www.forgingbondsofsteel. com), a guide to developing an excellent working relationship with your financial advisor. “Different states have different tax laws and other regulations that can have a major impact on your retirement funds. You need to be aware of these as you plan for where you want to live and how you want to live.” Whether or not you’re considering one of the other top four “best states to retire” – Colorado, Utah, North Dakota and Wyoming, in that order – here are three tips for planning ahead: • New state – new income tax rules. Get to know them! Familiarize yourself with the tax laws of the state you’re considering for your new home. Two of the top five on Bankrate’s list – South Dakota and Wyoming -- have no state income tax, along with five others: Nevada (No. 18 on the list), Texas (19), Washington (22), Florida (39), and Alaska (48.). Also, an itemized deduction in one state may not be an itemized deduction in another. If you use the long form (1040) to file federal income taxes, hire a reputable, experienced CPA for guidance. Look into how your new state taxes retirement income. States differ on taxing interest income from tax-free municipal bonds. Some states give tax credits for pensions; treat public and private pensions differently; or offer federal, military or blanket exclusions. • If you’re married, are you moving to a community property state? There are nine community property states – those that divide all maritally-acquired assets and debt 50:50 in the event of divorce. (Exceptions include an inheritance or gift received by one spouse and maintained separately in that spouse’s name.) Community property states are Idaho, New Mexico, Texas, California, Arizona, Wisconsin, Nevada, Louisiana, and Washington. Consulting with an estate planning attorney regarding how this issue may affect you may be money very well spent. • Have a lawyer review your estate planning documents. Your existing estate planning documents should be reviewed by a lawyer in your new state of residence because statutes differ on the types of documents required and the powers bestowed upon each. For example, states are all over the map regarding the validity of a power of attorney document and the powers that may or may not be conveyed. “During their careers, their ‘acquiring wealth years,’ many people live in places that have lots of jobs – and the higher cost of living that goes along with that,” Friedman says. “In retirement, many of them want to move to a state where they can enjoy the same or an even better lifestyle with less money. “For that, it’s essential to consider not only the cost of living but the state laws that affect your accumulated wealth and income.” DANTES celebrates 40 years of service by Thom Seith The Defense Activity for NonTraditional Education Support (DANTES) commemorated 40 years of service by holding an education celebration at the Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) on board Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola Dec. 2. future.” During the NATTC event, Sailors from the Pensacola military complex had the opportunity to get valuable information on educational programs and query experts on how to incorporate education and certifications into their career goals. More than 1,000 people attended the event, which provided education information from DANTES, the Navy Advancement Center, Troops for Teachers, the Navy College Program, Navy Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (Navy COOL), and the United Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP). Aviation Electronics Technician Airman Lisa Kennedy, a student at NATTC, was grateful for the opportunity to talk to the experts from DANTES. DANTES and their partner organizations help service members and veterans pursue their educational goals and earn degrees or certifications. Capt. John Jones, Naval Education and Training Command, chief of staff, served as the guest speaker for the celebration. “DANTES’ information, resources and programs have played an integral part in the career success of tens of thousands of Sailors including myself,” said Jones. “We’d like to express our gratitude for the 40 years DANTES has been serving the educational needs of service members throughout the Department of Defense and wish them even more success in the “When I joined the Navy, I already had a bachelor’s degree in history, but wanted to continue my education and possibly go to law school,” said Kennedy. “With all the overwhelming information during recruit training and indoctrination, it was wonderful to be able to obtain all this good information in a more relaxed setting with such knowledgeable people. “Mr. Stahl, the DANTES deputy director recommended getting guidance from the Navy College Program counselors, taking College Level Exam Program (CLEP) tests and utilizing the Tuition Assistance (TA) Program to help me reach my goal,” she added. Additional helpful information provided by DANTES during the event included academic accreditation, college financial aid (scholarships, grants and loans), how to search for the right college, virtual libraries and free online books, and educational goal planning. One part of educational goal planning is consolidating and translating military experience into college credits. Senior Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Aircraft Handling), Johnny Harris, a NATTC data metrics analyst, received guidance on his educational goal planning from Sandra L. Winborne, manager, Military Evaluations Program for DANTES. “Dr. Winborne explained to me how the Joint Service Transcript (JST) documents American Council on Education (ACE) recommended college credit for military training and occupational experience, and that academically, the JST is an accepted record validated by ACE,” said Harris. “This and other information she provided has helped me focus on my goals of earning a general education degree, participating in the Troops to Teachers certification program, and eventually teaching at a Reserve Officers Training Corps unit,” he said. DANTES is a Department of Defense agency that provides leadership and support through partnerships across the education community and is located on board Saufley Field in Pensacola.

Even if you do choose to spend money, focusing on “gifting” an experience is often much more meaningful than placing an item in a wrapped box--and it has a more personal touch. If you’d like to get off the gift-exchange merry-go-round this year, read on for 12 of Cygan’s suggestions for giving your friends and family the gift of experience: Spend a morning baking cookies together with your foodie friends. You can focus on old favorites or try new recipes. “After baking, the cookies can be packaged with holiday ribbons, providing the added benefit that everyone goes home with several types of cookies to enjoy or give as gifts,” Cygan says. “Give” it forward. Together with family or friends, choose a local charity or “adopt” a family that is less fortunate. Spend a half-day shopping for food and/or gifts, then wrap them and deliver them. Or volunteer at a soup kitchen, hospital, nursing home, or homeless shelter. Giving your time to others who are less fortunate will help you to focus on gratitude. “Neuroscience research has Savor the season together. shown that reward centers light Take a drive to look at holiday up in the brain when we give decorations, attend a holiday to charity,” Cygan points out. concert, visit a museum with a “In essence, doing good feels seasonal exhibit, or walk down good--and that feeling will stay Heart ofwith Mary Church decorated citymmaculate streets--whatever you Catholic and your loved ones a Pastor: Rev.

HPW reorganized the website into 15 primary topic areas and created more than 100 new resources, tools, and materials to meet the information and resource needs of WII stakeholders. The website was created in support of Navy Medicine’s commitment to care for warfighters recovering from a wound, illness, or injury, no matter where and when sustained. “As a partner of the 21st Century Sailor and Marine Initiative, NMCPHC is committed to supporting Sailors and Marines returning to duty or transitioning to civilian life,” said Capt. Scott R. Jonson, NMCPHC commanding officer. “Through this HPW WII program, we aim to encourage and empower WII Sailors and Marines to engage with their health care and support teams to achieve optimal health and maintain well-being.” The HPW WII website offers information, resources, and tools to support the healing, rehabilitation, recovery, and resilience of wounded, ill, or injured Sailors and Marines. Health and wellness topics align with the priorities outlined in the National Prevention Strategy, including active living, Based on the success and efficacy of the Health Promotion Toolbox, a WII Toolbox was also launched to provide both promotional and practical tools. The promotional tools focus on helping health educators, providers, and case managers reach the WII audience while the practical tools aim at equipping WII service members in their daily battle for healing and recovery. The tools span six key topics: nutrition, relationships and intimacy, caregiver support, depression, sleep and integrative and complementary medicine.

I’d like to leave you with a very personal gift, which I think appropriate for why we stand here today, and that is this message: What we are is God’s gift to us, what we become is our gift to God.” The wreaths were laid as part of the annual National Wreaths Across America Day that is held on the second Saturday of December at Arlington National Cemetery and 800 other veterans’ cemeteries nationwide. Ceremonial wreaths representing each of the armed forces, Merchant Marines and POW/ MIA service members were presented at the memorial by members of the Westview High School Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps. The event’s keynote speaker was the first Medal of Honor recipient in the Vietnam War, retired Army Col. Roger Donlon, who took time to honor the more than 110,000 service members and Merchant Marines interred at Fort Rosecrans. “This is the ninth year Fort Rosecrans Cemetery has been able to participate in Wreaths Across America,” said Tim Campion, volunteer coordinator for Wreaths Across America San Diego. “And to date, this was our largest year in both wreaths donated and number of individuals coming out to help support. Between Fort Rosecrans and Miramar National Cemetery, we laid 7,000 wreaths.” S Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Equipment) 3rd Class Michael Mendoza, from Chula Vista, places a wreath on the grave of a service member during the 21st annual Wreaths Across America event held at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery.

Exp. 1/31/15 conduct anti-piracy exercise by MC1 Travis Alston and MC3 Eric Coffer USS Sterett (DDG 104) and ships from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (Navy) PLA(N) commenced a bilateral counter-piracy exercise, U.S.China Counter-Piracy Exercise 15, off the coastal states in the Gulf of Aden and the Horn of Africa, Dec 11. Aiming to promote partnership, strength and presence, the exercise includes combined visit, board, search, and seizure (VBSS) operations, communication exchanges, and various other aspects of naval operations. This exercise represents a long-standing united front toward counter-piracy operations shared by these two world powers. “The exercise allows us to address our common regional and global interest,” said Capt. Doug Stuffle, commander, Navy Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 1. “It helps both nations pursue a healthy, stable, reliable and continuous bilateral relationship.” “Piracy is a long-standing problem, world-wide,” said Cmdr. Theodore Nunamaker, commanding officer, USS Sterett (DDG 104). “It has long been recognized as a problem that requires an internationalcooperative solution. Certainly the U.S. 5th Fleet AOR (area of responsibility) is one of the focused points for that effort. Modern-day piracy has a far-reaching economic impact. Although much of the world’s population will never encounter piracy, it has an impact on everyone, by increasing the cost of goods that are being shipped from place to place.” Stuffle expressed that Sterett’s crew, like all deployed U.S. naval forces, have trained to meet a variety of mission sets that are Both Stuffle and Nunamaker agree the ultimate goal of this exercise is to strengthen military-to-military relationships between the U.S. and its Chinese counter-parts. The navies of the U.S. and China conducted similar training Aug. 20 - 25, 2013. “These bi-lateral exercises help us establish clear paths for communication; they encourage transparency of trust, help us mitigate risk and allow us to demonstrate cooperative efforts in the international community to help us work together to deal with transnational threats. In the end, we look to create a peaceful, stable and secure maritime domain,” said Stuffle.

It was found by the young people at this story’s heart in Kansas, where an emotionally guarded social worker (Witherspoon) tries to place them in jobs, though their skills and knowledge of the outside world are extremely limited.

The duo travels along the coast of Italy, conversing about a broad variety of subjects while sampling food and lodging for columns they’re meant to write ... and trying to keep from getting on each other’s nerves. The film is excerpted from a longer series that was televised by England’s BBC. *** (Also on Blu-ray.) New releases are on the light side this holiday week, so here’s a look at several seasonal classics: “IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE”: Upon its release, this Frank Capra-directed 1946 classic had a lukewarm box-office performance upon its release that gave no indication it would become as popular as it long as it has been ... its plentiful television exposure being a huge factor. James Stewart makes the perfect George Bailey, the hapless Bedford Falls citizen whose experience of seeing how life would be without him has been echoed by countless TV-series episodes. Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore and - as wing-earning angel Clarence - Henry Travers lend great support. DVD extras: theatrical trailer; “making-of” by Jay Bobbin documentary. **** (Not rated) (Also on Blu-ray) “WHITE CHRISTMAS”: As comfortable as an active fireplace on a cold winter’s night, this tuneful 1954 retooling of the 12-years-earlier “Holiday Inn” now available in a “Diamond Anniversary Edition” - makes great use of its Irving Berlin score. Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye make an ideal team as military veterans who become successful entertainment partners, then use their talents to help their former commander (Dean Jagger) reenergize his failing resort. Rosemary Clooney - aunt of George - and Vera-Ellen are charmers as the siblings who distract the guys. DVD extras (“Anniversary Edition”): two theatrical trailers; audio commentary by Clooney; seven “making-of” documentaries; Christmas televisionshow appearances by Crosby and Kaye; photo galleries. **** (Not rated) (Also on Blu-ray) “A CHRISTMAS STORY”: There’s never a doubt this holiday favorite will come back around, thanks to its annual 24-hour marathon on television. Anyone who ever desired that one special holiday gift can empathize with Ralphie (Peter Billingsley), author-narrator Jean Shepherd’s young alias who desperately wants a Red Ryder BB gun - the one his mother (Melinda Dillon) warns will “shoot your eye out.” Always deserving of citing is Darren McGavin as the gruff dad who never actually curses, though it sure sounds like it. DVD extras: theatrical trailer; three “making-of” documentaries; audio commentary by Billingsley and director and co-writer Bob Clark. *** (PG: P) (Also on Blu-ray) Stuff continued from page 8 ask everyone to bring their favorite holiday food--maybe a family recipe from your parents or grandparents,” she suggests. “This nostalgic theme can bring back rich memories as you honor loved ones and your family’s heritage.” Get creative. If you and a friend or family member are both creative (or would like to become more so!), make plans to do an art, craft, or home-improvement project together. “You could make holiday wreaths or paint mugs at a local pottery studio, for example,” Cygan suggests. “And every time you use these items in the years to come, you’ll be reminded of the fun time you spent creating them--and of your valuable friendship.” Make good on “We always said we’d...” Instead of exchanging gifts, do something you and a friend have always said you’d do together--but have never managed to find time for. “Note that this event or outing doesn’t have to happen during the holidays,” Cygan says. “For instance, buying tickets to a summer concert by the band you both loved as teenagers counts!” Go to class. Take a cooking class, sewing class, self-defense class, painting class, wine-tasting class--whatever you and the other person would enjoy. “Learning a new skill together is a great way to deepen your relationship with another person,” Cygan comments. “And choosing a class that reflects the other person’s skills and desires is a wonderful way to say, ‘I’ve been paying attention to what you enjoy and what’s important to you.’” Become a day tripper. No matter where you live, Cygan guarantees there’s something interesting within driving distance. Think museums, landmarks, shopping destinations, unique restaurants, wineries, etc. Why not visit one of them with a friend? “Odds are you can even find something free so the only cost will be gas,” she says. “Even if the day trip you choose is cheesy and ‘touristy,’ and even if it’s something you’ve done before, you’ll still enjoy the time spent together. Be sure to snap photos so you can remember the best parts of your outing.” Make them a member. If a “big” gift is within your budget but you don’t want to spend money on something that will end up gathering dust in a closet, Cygan suggests buying the other person a membership to a zoo, theme park, or museum, or season tickets to the theater, orchestra, or a sports team’s home games. This gives the person the opportunity to experience something they love throughout the year--to quote a cliché, it’s a ‘gift that keeps on giving,’” she observes. “And every time the recipient ‘uses’ your gift, he or she will be reminded of your thoughtfulness and of your relationship.” Take care of some chores. Most of Cygan’s suggestions have to do with giving or sharing experiences...but relieving someone of an unwanted experience (like cleaning or painting the kitchen!) works too. If it’s in your budget, you could “gift” a repair person or a maid service, or purchase a gift certificate to a restaurant, for example. “Along the same lines, if you know a family with young children, you could offer your babysitting services for free so that the parent or parents can enjoy a few evenings out,” she adds. “If you have kids yourself, you’ll know just how appreciated this gift will be.” Mark your calendars. Do you and a friend, despite your best intentions, never quite manage to get together so that you can catch up over a meal? If so, give the gift of time. “Give your friend a 2015 calendar and tell him or her that you want to fill up one afternoon or evening each month with a shared meal, movie, drink, walk, or cup of coffee,” Cygan suggests. “Remember, what gets planned gets done-as opposed to those vague ‘we should really see each other more often’ intentions. You’ll both be enjoying the gift of a deeper friendship by the end of next year.” Laugh together. Invite friends over to watch (or stream) a funny holiday movie--and make sure to provide cider, hot chocolate, and a bottomless bowl of popcorn. Not only is this more affordable than buying gifts for each person, your friends are more likely to enjoy themselves. might just start your family’s new favorite tradition.” About the Author: Donna Skeels Cygan, CFP®, MBA, is the owner of the financial advisory firm Sage Future Financial, LLC, and the author of The Joy of Financial Security: The art and science of becoming happier, managing your money wisely, and creating a secure financial future.

Or institute a theme, like old Woody Allen movies or hit ‘80s comedies.” “All of these experience gifts show that you are paying attention, that you care, and that the recipient is worth your time and consideration,” Cygan concludes. “After all, it is our relationships that truly make our lives rich. So this holiday season, invest in people instead of in things to put into a gift box.

The Aztecs will face the U.S. Naval Academy which accepted an invitation following its victory over South Alabama Nov. 28. It marks the fourth appearance in the San Diego bowl game for the Midshipmen and the third for the Aztecs. The SDCCU Poinsettia Bowl kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 23 at Qualcomm Stadium and will be televised on ESPN. The Aztecs finished the regular season 7-5 overall and 5-3 in the West Division of the Mountain West. Navy is currently 6-5 on the year with one game still remaining as the Midshipmen play Army on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 12 noon (PT) in Baltimore in a game that will be televised nationally by CBS. “This is a fantastic pairing of two teams that are well-known and loved, especially right here in San Diego,” said Mudd. “It sets up to be a great game and we anticipate a fantastic turnout for this 10th anniversary game.” For San Diego State, Donnel Pumphrey leads a team that has won all seven of its games by double digits this year and is making its fifth consecutive bowl appearance after going to just five bowls over its previous 43 seasons. Pumphrey has set an Aztec sophomore record with 1,755 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns, averaging 146.2 yards per game and 6.9 yards per carry. Pumphrey, who was on the Doak Walker Award Watch List and was a first-team all-MW selection, heads into the Poinsettia Bowl just 87 yards short of the SDSU single-season school record (George Jones, 1,842 in 1995). Terry Poole (left tackle) was named a secondteam all-MW selection, while Darrell Green (right guard) was an honorable mention pick. The San Diego State defense has been one of the best in the nation this year, ranking 15th in points allowed (20.1), 20th in passing yards allowed (192.0) and 40th in rushing defense (145.6), and going eight straight games keeping its opponent below 400 yards of total offense. Both Aztec cornerbacks - Damontae Kazee (52 tackles, 13 PBU, 1 INT) and J.J. Whittaker (58 tackles, 6 PBU, 2 INT) - were named secondteam all-MW, while Calvin Munson (78 tackles, 10.5 TFL, 4.0 sacks, 4 INT, 2 FF), Josh Gavert (78 tackles, 4.5 TFL, 4 PBU), Malik Smith (58 tackles, 7 PBU, 3 INT) and Alex Barrett (39 tackles, 9.0 TFL, 3.0 sacks) were each honorable-mention selections. SDSU has 68 tackles for loss on the season by 20 different players and 24 sacks by 12 different players. “Very few teams are going to a fifth straight bowl game and our players have worked hard to get here,” said Aztecs coach Rocky Long. “It shows how successful our program has become. “I’ve been lucky enough to have gone to several bowls and our fifth-year seniors have been to five straight bowls. We haven’t been to any of them that even match the Poinsettia Bowl in terms of hospitality and things to do. We know how well they treat us. Our players are excited about being home as well so their family and friends can watch them play.” The Mids have won four of their last five contests and are led by quarterback Keenan Reynolds. Reynolds has rushed for 61 touchdowns in his career, the most in NCAA history by a quarterback and the seventh most by a player at any position. This year, despite missing two games due to injury, he has rushed for 1,082 yards and 20 touchdowns on 205 carries. Senior fullback Noah Copeland is also having a standout campaign, rushing for 859 yards and five touchdowns on 105 carries. Copeland is averaging an incredible 8.2 yards per carry. Navy enters Saturday’s contest leading the country in rushing, averaging a school record 357.8 yards per game. Defensively, the Mids are led by senior linebacker Jordan Drake and sophomore linebacker Daniel Gonzales. Drake has recorded a team-high 85 tackles and forced two fumbles, while Gonzales has recorded 73 tackles and picked off two passes. Senior safety and co-captain Parrish Gaines leads the Mids in interceptions with three. Navy head coach Ken Niuma- talolo (55-35) is one win away from becoming the school’s all-time wins leader. “I am happy for our young men and our program that we are going back to a bowl game for the 11th time in the last 12 years,” said Navy head football coach Ken Niumatalolo. “Right now our only focus is to finish out the regular season on the right note by beating Army, but we are thrilled to be going to San Diego.” Tickets for the 2014 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl can be purchased by calling TicketMaster at 1-800745-3000, or by visiting www.

That reminds me how fortunate those of us who live here in San Diego are. This is a place where people travel on vacation to escape all of that – and there is so much to see and do! As I learned at celebratebalboapark.org, 100 years ago, in honor of the completion of the Panama Canal, San Diego held a yearlong celebration of its innovation, architecture, culture and natural beauty. In 2015 San Diego will doing it again, this time in celebration of the Balboa Park Exposition Centennial. Special events – some of which are already underway, include: “San Diego Invites the World: The 1915 Expo” at the Veterans Museum & Memorial Center; “The International Cultural Plaza 2015,” presented by the World Beat Center; “The Discovery of King Tut: His Tomb, His Treasures, The Breathtaking Recreation” at the San Diego Natural History Museum; “Ingenious! The World of Dr. Seuss” at the San Diego History Center; “Centennial Commemoration Concerts” by the Spreckels Organ Society; the energy efficient LED “Light the Park Project,” with the support of San Diego Gas & Electric and the City of San Diego; “All People’s Celebration” by alliance San Diego; “2theXtreme – MathAlive!” at the San Diego Air & Space Museum; “Human Rights Watch Film Festival;” “A Century of Dance” presented by the San Diego Civic Dance Arts program; “Balboa Park at 100” presented by the San Diego Art Institute; “Imaginate” at the Reuben H.

For additional information, visit celebratebalboapark. org and click on the photos under “Celebrate!” and “Elevate!” As is our tradition, earlier this month the holiday season in San Diego kicked off with December Nights in Balboa Park – two days and evenings of festive en- tertainment, food and activities. 325,000 visitors enjoyed December Nights this year. in San Diego. That was only the beginning of the holiday treat that we boats lavishly decorated according to a new theme each year. The San Diego Bay Parade of also close to where I watched the Red Bull Air Races a few years ago. The backdrop of the downtown San Diego city skyline is spectacular. The theme for this year’s San Diego Bay Parade of Lights was Children’s Stories. As the boats slowly motored past the San Diego waterfront on the far side of the bay, we enjoyed a flotilla of brightly illuminated Christmas trees and storybook characters. Then the boats made a wide turn and slowly headed back, this time to parade in front of us. San Diego Bay Parade of Lights - snowman & sleigh With that behind us, I made plans to go on a photo shoot last Sunday with the Pacific Photographic Society. The event was called Impromptu Sunset Shoot Coronado. Our plan was to shoot the San Diego waterfront skyline from Coronado as the sun was setting. It was beautiful to see the ever-changing reflections on the tall buildings – a sight which is repeated on most days were about to enjoy. As it got dark, people of all ages began to gather on the beach in Coronado for the 43rd Annual San Diego Bay Parade of Lights. According to www.sdparadeoflights.org, the San Diego Bay Parade of Lights is a time-honored holiday tradition brought to San Diego by the boating community ... with more than 80 Lights is held two consecutive Sundays each year in December. The parade proceeds from Shelter Island past Harbor Island, the Embarcadero, Seaport Village and Ferry Landing in Coronado. That’s where we were, right beside Ferry Landing and in front of Il Fornaio restaurant. Nearby was a popular, tourist-oriented, boutique-style shopping center with plenty of parking. That is Not only were there colorful lights and decorations, but music, too. A least one of the boats had a large choir aboard. They entertained appreciative spectators with Christmas carols. Another popular boat was named “Whoville” for the fictional town in Dr. Seuss’ “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” The spectators applauded and cheered as the familiar soundtrack played. The boats made a couple of slow passes around the bay and then this holiday treat was over. I wish you all the very best of Season’s Greetings!
