We Have Much to be Thankful ForTeam Rota,

We have much to be thankful for: Whether we look to the winning Admirals football and volleyball teams – kicking

butt, taking names and bringing home championship wins this weekend – or all the outstanding Sailors, family members, civilians and local nationals who make this base the best in the Navy, we’ve got a lot to be thankful for heading into the Thanksgiving break.

I know we’re still a couple weeks out from Thanksgiving, but this is my last CMC Corner before the holiday, and I want to talk about some of the great things the base has lined up for Thanksgiving. And, I also want to give

some shout outs to some folks on base that I’m thankful for as the naval station’s command master chief.

First, we want everyone on base to have a great Thanks-giving, and the Captain has authorized four-day liberty for the holiday for Naval Station Rota Sailors not on duty. U.S. civil-ian employees will have Thanksgiving Day off. We hope you all are able to enjoy some time off with family, friends or both.

MWR and ITT have worked out an amazing trip to Rome. Go check out ITT for details, and if you want to go, work it out with your chain of command for approval.

If you’d rather stay local during Thanksgiving, there is much to do on base for single Sailors to get a real taste of Thanksgiving, too. The Seabees from Naval Mobile Con-struction Battalion 5 will be serving the sure to be belt-busting meal that the Supply and Galley crew are whipping up.

For families or single Sailors, El Rompidillo is taking orders for fully cooked Thanksgiving Day meals – including a roasted turkey and sides – through Nov. 19. If you want to take it a bit easier on yourself this holiday, I encourage you to stop by La Plaza and check that out. No excuses for eating ramen noodles for Thanksgiving. There are options for everyone on base.

Regardless of whether you’re cooking your own meal at home or taking the El Rompidillo route, please think of our shipmates who might be considering ramen noodles for one as their turkey-day meal. There is no reason for our ship-mates to be sitting around their barracks room, apartment or home alone during the holidays. If you’re having a get together, invite some single service members or co-workers over. If your plans are to cook for your family, invite a single person into your home.

I’m confident the chow Chief Gray and his team at the Galley are going to put out on Thanksgiving will be something to marvel about. But after the food, there is still nothing quite like relaxing, playing some games, watching some football and recovering on the couch. If you have a home that can afford it, invite some folks to join you.

Also, we’ve got multiple families here that are separated from loved ones that are on deployment, many in harm’s way. Be sure that you are reaching out to those Team Rota members as well. Our goal is no service member or family member spends Thanksgiving alone. If we do that, we all win.

Speaking of winning, what a weekend for the Admirals. The football team won the Division III Championship when they beat Bamberg 44 – 32, capping an undefeated season, and the girls volleyball team won the Division III Champion-ship in three straight games against Florence. These wins are a testament to the awesome support and teamwork in the Rota community. We’re thankful for that.

We’re also thankful for the great leaders on this base, those of you, at every rank, who are making the right deci-sions, doing the right things and leading those around you. Speaking of leaders: The Senior Sailor of the Year Board adjourned this week, and I want to congratulate Yeoman First Class Derek Fleming from Admin who is the Naval Station Senior Sailor of the Year – BRAVO ZULU shipmate!

He was competing against some other extremely sharp Sailors (in alphabetical order): Master-at-Arms First Class Andrew Greenawalt, Security; Master-at-Arms First Class Jesse Lindsey, Security; Yeoman First Class Earl McFarland, Admin; Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Equipment First Class Jorge Pavon, Air Operations; and Utilitiesman First Class Paul Sarniak, Emergency Management. Thank you all for being the outstanding leaders that you are!

A couple of final notes: I have to say happy birthday to our resident Devil Dogs here at Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team (FAST) Company Europe. Thanks for all you do here in Rota, and thank you for going into harms way when called into action around the theater.

Speaking of going in to harm's way, tomorrow is Veterans Day. I'd encourage all of you to take a moment or two and reflect on the awesome heritage we have as U.S. service members and to pause and give thanks for those who have gone before us to defend freedom and democracy around the world.

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus released the following Veterans Day message to the fleet Nov. 8:

"On Nov. 11 each year, the United States formally honors the service and sacrifice of more than 20 million living American veterans through their service, as well as all the men and women who have guaranteed our freedom and kept America secure against those who would harm us throughout the years.

Our veterans represent the best of America. Coming from every back-ground and every walk of life, they represent the rich tapestry of our nation and the multitude of cultures that make the United States unique upon the earth.

On Veterans Day, we have an opportunity to thank them, to thank every Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Airman and Coast Guardsman who has ever worn the uniform for what they have done, and to thank those of you still in uniform for what you continue to do for the United States every day.

Thank you for your service, Godspeed."

From the outside of the house, it looks much the same as any other recently converted 4-bedroom house on Naval Station Rota, but what is on the inside of the phase two prototype house is turning heads.

Naval Station Rota’s housing department recently held an open house for their latest creation, the prototype for phase two improvements to enlisted family housing: The feedback is “Wow!”

Building upon the improvements made in phase one, which took two two-bedroom units and com-bined them into one four-bedroom home with 2,100 square feet of living space, phase two brings even more benefits to on-base families.

“We have better materials being used, more ex-pensive, more quality,” said Housing Director Bob Crist. “We finally got it right with this one.”

Although the first phase of converted homes brought many positives like extra living space, ad-ditional bedrooms, a courtyard and storage space, they had some flaws that have been fixed in this second phase according to Crist.

Phase two homes add features like energy ef-ficient, recessed lighting throughout, ceiling fans in

Newest Base Housing: 'Wow!'sTory by mCC(sw/aw) mikel bookwalTer

The phase two homes come with recessed lighting throughout and a new and improved tile that hides dirt and is easy to keep clean.

the living room, dining room and bedrooms, improved construction and solar heated hot water.

Another significant improvement in phase two homes is the indoor flooring.

“The flooring is much better. There was a mistake made with the first phase flooring. It was actually exterior tile [used as indoor flooring], and we couldn’t get away from it. So, we made sure we got a good tile. It hides the dirt, and it’s easy to keep clean,” said Crist. Crist also said that as families move out of phase one units, housing is replacing the flooring with appropriate indoor tile.

“In general the floor plan of phase two homes is almost identical to phase one, with some minor changes. But to the eye, it just looks different all the way through,” said Crist. “The term everybody uses is that you need to 'wow' people. So, I was walking around with people explaining stuff [during the open house], and that’s all you heard, ‘Wow, wow, wow.’”

Phase two homes are being built in groups of 20 at a time. The first batch is scheduled to be com-pleted in February, the next batch in May and the final batch in August. The winter weather here in Rota can affect that, but that is the plan, said Crist.

Do you ever recall being asked for a copy of your military identification card or Common Access Card when making a major purchase? Most would assume it is to confirm your affiliation with the military and to verify whether you have steady income or not. Most service members are in a rush to get their hands on whatever they’re buying, and less concerned that someone could be copying their I.D., which is illegal and in violation of Title 18, U.S. Code Part 1, Chapter 33, Section 701.

Section 701 states that whoever manufactures, sells, or possesses any badge, identification card, or other in-signia, of the design prescribed by the head of any department or agency of the United States for use by any officer or employee, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for the maximum six month sentence.

Naval Station Rota, Spain, Secu-rity Manager Jim Chalmers said that many military members, family and Department of Defense employees are unaware of this law. Commercial estab-lishments are not prohibited from asking for military or government identification. Unfortunately there are no safeguards

Copying military I.D. is illegal and violators could face non-judicial punishment if caught.

in place to ensure a government I.D. card won’t be counterfeited or cloned based on a photocopy.

With the quality of printers and scanners that are now available, this is really becoming a serious issue in the military, said NAVSTA Rota’s Assistant Anti-Terrorism Officer, Chief Master-at-Arms Maurice Stigger.

“Copying or cloning of the military I.D. cards has been a tremendous problem for all military branches for years,” said Stigger. “Your CAC card is government property and needs to be treated as such.”

Though the service member’s So-cial Security number has been re-moved from the I.D. since June 2011, members are encourage to provide a state license or other form of photo identification to be photocopied if an establishment insists on a photocopy of a picture I.D.

If caught violating the policy, mem-bers could face non-judicial punishment at captain’s mast for violation of Article 92, failure to obey a lawful order and Title 18.

The military I.D. allows access to many DoD Web sites. Even though

you will still have to provide a pass-word, many Web sites now allow log-in by way of CAC card. Only medical establishments such doctor offices and hospitals are allowed to make a copy for filling insurance claims and therefore should not be grouped into commercial establishments.

“The best way to minimize unauthor-ized copying of your I.D. is to always maintain positive control of it,” said Chalmers. “If you need to show it for verification, show it and return it to a safe place. You have to right to de-clined illegal copying of a government item that is issued.”

A field training exercise will take place in the base housing area Nov. 16. This exercise is to test our first re-sponders' and watchstanders' ability to deal with and recover from a real world event. There should be no disruption across the housing area but you might see responders in the field as part of the drill. This is only a exercise.

Are you ready to give your lungs a “day off?” If you are a smoker, it might be something to think about as this could be the start of your smoke-free life. Nov. 17 is the American Cancer Society’s 36th Great American Smokeout, a national campaign to encourage smokers to quit smoking for the day. More Americans try to quit this day than any other day of the year. Are you willing to take the challenge?

Giving up tobacco is one of the most important things you could do for your health. You could live a longer, hap-pier and healthier life with the people you love.

If you are a smoker, the smoke-out day is a great start to giving up cigarettes. If you are a non-smoker, you can give support by adopting a smoker to help keep them tobacco-free for the day. It might be difficult for some to give up smoking, but remember, it is never too late to quit. When quitting, follow these basic rules:

Have a plan: Identify the reasons why you want to quit, your roadblocks and coping strategies, and the benefits of quitting.

Set a quit date: This can be your birthday, your wed-ding anniversary, New Year’s Day, or the Great American Smokeout.

Talk to your doctor: Your health care provider is the best source of information if you have questions or health concerns.

Get support: Your friends, family, online sources or tobacco cessation classes can assist you in reaching your goal.

Stick with your plan: Be prepared to face the chal-lenges ahead. Even if you’ve tried to quit before and re-lapsed, continue trying! Mark Twain, a pipe smoker, once said, “Quitting is easy, I’ve done it a 100 times.”

As part of the Great American Smoke-Out event, U.S. Naval Hospital Rota’s Coalition of Sailors Against De-structive Decisions (CSADD) and the Health Promotion Department are setting up a booth in front of the NEX Nov. 17 from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. You can view a display while getting information about tobacco cessation. You can also feast on a turkey sandwich if you pledge to quit “cold turkey.” If you are interested in quitting or are willing to “adopt a smoker” for the smoke-out, please call Health Promotions at 727-3350.

Smoking is the single most preventable cause of death and disease in the United States. Give your lungs a break, and join us for the 2011 Great American Smokeout.

Influenza vaccination is now available to all beneficiaries at the Rota hospital. You can obtain the vaccination during regular clinic hours, Mon-day to Friday from 8 - 11:30 a.m. and 1 - 4 p.m. The Immunization Clinic is not open on Thursday afternoons.

The Center for Disease Control’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recently made recommendations to the CDC that males ages 11 to 12 should receive routine vaccination with three doses of the quadrivalent human papilloma virus vaccination (HPV) commonly known as Gardasil. The HPV vaccine will afford protec-tion against certain HPV-related conditions and cancers in males, and may also provide indirect protection of women by reducing transmission of HPV, according to ACIP. Prior to this new recommendation, the CDC has had a “permissive” recommendation in place the past two years for the use of this vaccine in boys. Once approved by the CDC, this new recommendation will officially add the HPV vaccination to the routine childhood immunization schedule for males.

The HPV4 vaccine was licensed in the United States in 2006, and it protects recipi-ents from four specific types of HPV that are currently responsible for 70 percent of cervical cancers and 90 percent of anogenital warts. The vaccine is a three-shot series that takes a total of six months to complete. The vaccine is routinely recommended in females at ages 11 to 12, however, it is licensed for use in females ages 9 to 26 years. The recommended age for vaccinations in males will be 11 to 12 years, however, it is

CDC States Boys Should Receive HPV VaccinesTory by lT. Cmdr. miChael smiley, m.d., mC, Usn pediaTriCian

also licensed for use in males ages 9 to 26 years. HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer in women. Currently there are approximately

11,000 new cervical cancer cases each year in the United States and 4,000 deaths in women secondary to this. In addition to this, it is estimated that 1 in 100 sexually active adults in the United States have genital warts at any one time. It is estimated that only 1.5 percent of boys receive the HPV vaccination and that only 27 percent of eligible girls have received the required three shots necessary for full protection. This vaccination rate is much lower than many other routine vaccinations. It is believed that this low rate is due to misconceptions about the vaccine, the diseases it is intended to prevent, and the concern among parents that the vaccine may encourage risk-taking behavior.

The most common side effects from the vaccine are pain, redness, and itching where the shot is given (arm). In addition to this about 1 in 10 people who get the vaccine will get a mild fever. These symptoms do not last long and go away on their own.

Your child’s primary care manager at Naval Hospital Rota will be able to answer any additional questions that you may have about this vaccine and the new recommendations, or you may contact the Family Practice Clinic at 727-3549 for additional information.

As thousands of Sailors and Seabees face being forced out of the Navy due to force reductions, a recent university study may become more relevant: The study shows that workers with associate's degrees and bache-lor's degrees earn about 25 and 60 percent more income, respectively, than workers with only high school diplomas.

Competition to stay Navy is intensifying, and Navy College offerings like Navy College Program for Afloat College Education and Tuition Assistance are offering possible income safeguards for Sailors.

Many Sailors assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 5 are taking advantage of these pro-grams and are working toward a college degree while deployed.

NCPACE CoursesWorking Toward a College DegreesTory and phoTo by mC2(sCw) aCe rheaUme

NCPACE gives Sailors the opportunity to continue personal and professional growth while on sea-duty as-signments, while TA is the Navy’s educational financial assistance program.

“While here in Rota, [our Sailors] can take classes on base or through online courses. They have all of the same educational opportunities that they would have in homeport,” said Lt. j. g. Damaris Havens, NMCB 5’s educational services officer.

Havens says NCPACE courses are self-paced classes taken throughout a 12-week period. The biggest dif-ference between NCPACE and TA is that if the service member receives a failing grade with NCPACE, they don’t have to reimburse the government.

“I find time after work usually. It’s a good opportunity because it’s pretty much free besides the books,” said Utilitiesman Constructionman Timothy McDaniel, a Sea-bee assigned to NMCB 5.

“The resources and information are out there. The Navy asks a lot of you, to go on deployment and be away from your family, so take advantage of everything that you can now,” said Havens.

According to the Bureau of Labor statistics, the unem-ployment rate for post-9/11 era veterans has increased from 10.6 percent in September 2009 to 11.7 percent in September 2011. Taking advantage of college benefits while in the Navy could give Sailors a leg up when they leave the service.

Recently Sailors at NCTAMS Lant Det. Rota, Spain got a chance to attend a unique reenlistment ceremony for one of their fellow Sailors. Many people have witnessed or taken part in reenlistment ceremonies, but what some people may not know is that when a request for reenlistment is submitted, not only do you choose who will swear you in, but also where it happens.

In this case, it was to be on the wing of one of the aerial work horses of the military, a C-5 Galaxy transport plane.

When field support technician IT3 Brian Williams submitted his reenlistment request to his command, he first did a little research to seek out some ideas on how to make his reenlistment more unique and memorable. One of his senior chiefs told him about a previous experience, and the idea was born.

Thanks to the cooperation and coordination between Air Operations and the 725th Air Mobility Squadron, Petty Officer Williams was able to have his reenlistment conducted inside of the C-5 Galaxy. Originally it was requested to have it conducted on the wing of the aircraft, but it had to be changed due to safety concerns regarding the prevailing winds that day. Everyone in attendance received a guided tour of the aircraft, and at the end everyone agreed that this would definitely be a reenlistment to remember.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, millions of kids die per year as result of a number

of childhood diseases across the world, with millions more getting severely ill due to infec-tion. These viruses are typically spread through poor hygiene habits and close contact with an infected individual. However, there is some good news:

1. there are now vaccines made to combat many viruses and 2. most of us adults aren’t at risk since we have a built up immunity against the little pests from our childhood and/or have been vaccinated.Besides those of us with small children, how does

this information apply to us? Why am I writing about it in my article? Good question. I'm using it to illustrate that viruses aren’t the only things that are contagious

and potentially deadly - attitudes are as well. I’ve heard that bad attitudes have infected many people here during the past, causing hate and discontent in all who were infected. Such an attitude is typically spread like a virus when a service member/contractor/dependent arrives here and severely misses one or more things from "back home" or from his or her last duty station. This individual gets involved in the small community we have and real-izes that things and people here aren't perfect (Rota, like any other place on the planet, isn't Sir Thomas More's Utopia, with a flawless socio-political-legal system). While this is a great place to be assigned, we still have problems that need to be fixed! Can you believe that?! So, what does this person infected with a bad attitude typically do? They go around sharing all of the imperfect things about their co-workers, neighbors and overall situation here and get others disgruntled in the process. As a result, the bad attitude spreads, morale plummets and discontentment reigns supreme.

How do we stop the spread of this infectious at-titude? I suggest a multi-pronged approach:

1. Get “vaccinated” by managing your expectations. Realize that people will fail you (and that you often fail others) and learn to forgive when you are offended.2. Don't get sucked up into other people's gossip. Politely decline to get involved in "juicy" con- versations. 3. If you see a problem, come up with a solution. If you can't implement the change that is required, bring your plan to someone who can. While following these three basic suggestions will

not provide a cure to bad attitudes here in Rota, ap-plying them will surely slow or stop its spread and we will all benefit.

If you would like to speak to me or another chaplain regarding this discussion or any other issue, please call the Religious Ministries Department at 727-2161.

If there is one building in Madrid that keeps the city on the European cultural map all by itself, it is the Prado Museum, one of the most spectacular picture galleries in the world.

As part of the “Golden Triangle of Mu-seums” along with the Reina Sofia and the Thyssen, the Prado can very well be the highlight of any trip to Madrid.

The museum is home to more than 8,600 paintings; however, only slightly more than 2,000 can be exhibited at one time due to the lack of space. For that reason, the ex-hibitions are constantly being rearranged, so much so that the Prado’s own maps and guidebooks are constantly out of date.

The world’s largest collection of Spanish paintings and European art dating from the Romanesque period to the 19th century are found within the walls of the Prado. Here you find paintings from the best Spain has to offer including El Greco, Goya and Velázquez.

You could spend an entire day marveling at the works of Francisco de Goya, as you watch his progression from the sought after court painter to Charles IV, to his dark and demented final days where such works as “Satan Devouring His Sons” were painted. Considered the last of the old masters and the first of the moderns, two of Goya’s most famous paintings are “The Clothed Maja” and “The Nude Maja,” whose model for these works is a mystery to this day.

The best known piece of work at the Prado is “Las Menians” or “The Maids of Honor” by Diego Velázquez. This court painter of the 1600’s became a model for the realist and impressionist painters, in particular Édouard Manet. Modern artists, including Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí also play tribute to Velázquez in some of their works.

Although you will not find a Picasso at the Prado (they moved to the Reina Sofia in 1992) Picasso does play an important role in the history of the museum. At the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, Picasso

(Previous page) Visitors pause in front of Goya's paintings of the atrocities of war. The halls of the Prado that now hold artwork were once headquarters for the Cavalry when the Napoleonic troops were based in Madrid during the War of Independence. The Prado was originally built to be a museum of Natural History but evolved to hold the largest collection of Spanish artwork.

was appointed the director of the museum, though he lived in exile. It was during this period that he painted Guernica, which like Goya’s depiction of war, shows how man cre-ates havoc on man.

Even the building itself has a charm that will enchant any history buff. For a while, the structure was used as a headquarters for the cavalry when the Napoleonic troops were based in Madrid during the War of Indepen-dence. Then during the Spanish Civil War, the museum's collection was transferred several times as 353 paintings, 168 drawings and the Dauphin's Treasure, a collection of jewels and decorative art, were all moved to Valencia, Girona and finally to Geneva, Switzerland. The collection was returned to Madrid and the Prado Museum during World War II, where it has been ever since.

The fact that so many precious works of art have survived the barbarity of man over the centuries is something of a miracle in itself and makes the collection even more special and unique.

Visit the Prado, get lost in the past and explore the masterpieces of some of the most famous artists of all time.

Cortijo de Ducha: Come, Get to Know it, Live itLocated three kilometers from the Jerez airport,

the Cortijo de Ducha is a remodeled Andalusian farm, now a leisure complex, that offers all the charm of yesteryear with all the modern comforts. Here you

will find culture, cuisine and relaxation. It is an unforgettable setting for all kinds of celebrations: gala dinners, weddings, anniversaries, baptisms,

and communions as well as business meetings, con-ferences and seminars. They have a capacity for up to 600 people.

The restaurant, Mesón de Ducha, is run by one of the top chefs in the region and is open to the public year round. They also offer special tastings and culinary events.

The hotel has 34 spacious and warmly designed rooms and four junior suites that maintain the spirit of Andalucía. The rooms have large terraces over-looking the extensive gardens, lots of natural light, minibar, satellite TV, free Wi-Fi, A/C and heat. The hotel offers the following amenities to make your stay more enjoyable: adult pool, children’s pool, children’s playground, paddle court, games table, bicycle and hiking routes.

The complex hosts numerous cultural events including concerts. You can find out more at www.cortijodeducha.es or by calling 956-35-7810 or by e-mail at [email protected].

As I mentioned a few weeks back when the first ad for the Academia de Música ran, I wanted to write a bit more about Angel Piñero, the owner and director. He was born in Cádiz, studied music at the Conser-vatorio Superior Municipal in Barcelona and then at

the Conservatory of Munich. In the second stage of his studies, he worried about the dilemma of the two schools of playing the classical guitar: with the fingertips or with the fingernails. His solution was to master both techniques. With his right hand he uses the fingertips method, and with his left he uses fin-gernails. This is unusual since most concert guitarists master one technique or the other, but not both. Angel is an interna-tionally renown concert guitar-ist who has given innumerable concerts and classes in Spain. All the while he has maintained close ties in France, Germany and especially the U.S., giving concerts and classes. He taught several summer ses-sions at Hampden Sydney College in Virginia where he still has many good friends. For him, his time there is one of the highlights of his fruitful professional career.

Angel’s goal at the academy is to make high level music with well-qualified instructors who also speak English. He says teaching music for someone who feels it is pure pleasure. He believes music is food for the soul, the spirit; one could not live in a world without music, only silence or noise. For children, music is very important. It improves performance in school, develops the intellect, the imagination and self confidence. For adults, the pleasure of playing an instrument is infinite and one will never feel alone. You can contact Angel at 697-24-9171 or stop by the

academy at Calle Los Toreros, 44 in El Puerto de Santa María.

Some time ago, Rota Medica, a private clinic that attends emergencies and offers a big range of spe-cialties, merged with another private clinic in Rota, Presanes. The two centers remain open in the same locations, now with the name of Centro Médico Costa de la Luz. They also operate centers in Chipiona and Fuentebravía in El Puerto de Santa María.

Rafa Nadal to Play in SevillaWorld class tennis is coming to Anda-

lucia in the form of the Davis Cup. The Davis Cup started in 1900 and is the world’s premier team tennis competition. This year Sevilla will host the final. The tournament begins each year with more than 100 nations all

vying for a spot in the 16-team main draw which is now down to two teams, Spain and Argentina.

Spain has won four of the last 10 champi-onships and will be led by the second ranked player in the world, Rafa Nadal. The lanky 25 year old lefthander from Majorca is known for his ferocious forehands and ability to chase down what seems to be every tennis ball. Widely considered one of the great-est tennis players to ever live, Nadal has already captured 10 grand slam titles and takes great pride in playing for his country.

Juan Martin del Potro is a towering pres-ence at 6 feet 6 inches tall, making him one of the tallest players on tour. His height allows him to dish out speedy serves and powerful baseline forehands. He will lead an Argentinean team that has never won a title but has been runner up three times, most recently in 2008. This year’s team has had a very impressive run, which included a road victory over the defending champions Serbia. Del Potro plays a similar style to that of Nadal, and in 2009 he beat Nadal

(Times are local)

Friday* Portugal at Bosnia-Herzegovina 8:00 p.m.

This is one of four playoff games that will take place this weekend. The winner of these two game legs (the second leg will be played on Tuesday) will qualify for the European Championships this summer. 12 teams including Spain have already qualified.

* U.S. at France 9:00 p.m. (This game will be aired on AFN)This is a friend and will be a real test for the U.S. National Team which will

be playing one of the better teams in Europe. France will be led by stars such as Karim Benzema and Frank Ribery who play for Real Madrid and Bayern Munich respectively.

* Michigan State vs North CarolinaIn honor of Veterans Day, this college basketball game will be played on the

flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson in San Diego. This is one instance where the duty section of the ship will be happy to be on watch that day.

Saturday*Spain at England 6:15 p.m.

This game is friendly and some stars may be rested. However, even Spain’s second team features some of the best players in the world, and England will be looking to impress their home fans and prove that they can beat the best team in the world.

Tuesday* U.S. at Slovenia 6:15 p.m.

This is another friendly; it is a re-match of the 2010 World Cup group stage match which thanks to second half goals by Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley saw the US overcome a 2 goal earn a draw.

and the Swiss great Roger Federer in the U.S. Open, becoming the first player to ever beat both greats in the same Grand Slam tournament.

As the home team, Spain earned the right to choose the surface of play, which not surprisingly will be clay. Nadal and most of his teammates such as David Ferrer learned and mastered their game on clay and thrive on the slow surface which creates long rallies and tests a player's endurance, con-sistency and patience. Oftentimes Spanish players have struggled on faster surfaces such as grass and hard courts. The United States Tennis Association (USTA) tried to take advantage of this by choosing an extremely fast surface for its quarterfinal match with Spain. Spain overcame these obstacles and beat the Americans three matches to one in front of a raucous crowd in Austin, Texas which was supporting their local hero and American tennis great, Andy Roddick.

The finals in Sevilla will take place in Estadio Olímpico, which for three days will be converted from a soccer stadium into a tennis facility. The first day will feature two singles matches, followed by a doubles match the next day and will conclude with two more single matches on the final day. The country that wins three matches or “rub-bers” as they are sometimes referred to, will be crowned champion. Estadio Olímpico previously hosted the 2004 Davis Cup Final which saw Spain defeat the U.S. to capture its second championship. The stadium was

built as part of a failed bid to land the 2004 and 2008 Olympics in Sevilla. Since then it has been the site of international soccer games and major musical acts, such as U2 and Madonna.

While facing several challenges Argen-tina is poised to capture their first ever title. They proved in Serbia that they can handle a partisan crowd, and like the Spanish, several of their players also thrive on clay courts. A major factor in the final will be the stamina and health of both Nadal and Del Potro.

It's Close, but Unbeaten Rota Wears CrownBAUMHOLDER, Germany — The undefeated Rota Ad-mirals rolled over most opponents this season, but they needed a few key turnovers and several hard-hitting runs Saturday evening to topple the Bamberg Barons, 44-32, in the DODDS-Europe Division III championship game.

“The key was maintaining our composure,” Rota coach Robert Coronado said. “It was the first time we had really been tested, and our boys rose up to the occasion.”

Rota, which had only given up one touchdown prior to the championship game, found themselves in a tight game when just seconds into the third quarter Bamberg’s Andray Gibson took the kickoff back for a 64-yard touchdown run, shortening Rota’s lead to two points at 16-14.

But Rota never panicked and in the ensuing possession senior running back Terrence Paris took the ball to the out-side, dashing past the entire Bamberg defense for a 75-yard touchdown run. Rota’s defense then forced Bamberg to punt, giving Rota the ball on their own 40-yard line. After a first down, Paris ran straight up the gut for a 25-yard gain. And then Ramon Quijano sped to the outside for another 25 yards and the touchdown, giving Rota a 30-14 lead after the extra point.

“Our heads were down, we were having a tough game,” Paris said. “But we just got together and it sparked us.”

But Bamberg would not go away quietly, catching Rota off guard with a bit of trickery. On their own 25 yard line, Quarterback Phathanasin Sandod threw the ball to wide receiver Anthony “TJ” Cortright, who then passed the ball downfield to wide receiver Terry Williams. Williams broke two tackles and ran the ball in 50 yards for the touchdown, bringing Bamberg within 10 after the two-point conversion failed.

“I’m incredibly proud of them, I’m almost speechless,” said Bamberg coach Ethan Engel. “They fought really hard.”

Paris, who led Rota in rushing with 136 yards, came up big again. He intercepted the ball and ran it back 60 yards for the touchdown, giving Rota a 36-20 advantage after the two-point conversion failed.

In the fourth quarter, Bamberg’s Sandod would hook up with Cortright for a 25-yard gain, and a few plays later running back Tyrone Bogen dashed into the end zone on a 9-yard sweep. Bamberg would fail on the two-point conver-sion, but they were again within striking distance at 36-26.

But a turnover would hurt the Barons again.Near its own goal, Bamberg fumbled the ball and it was

recovered by Rota’s Keaton Regenor, who accounted for two turnovers with an interception in the first quarter for a touchdown. Paris rushed the ball into the end zone, and then quarterback Nick Holland scored on the two-point conversions, giving the Admirals a comfortable lead again.

“The turnovers were particularly costly,” Engel said. Bamberg lived and died with the pass, with both quarter-backs combining for more than 100 yards through the air, but there were also two interceptions. Cortright was the favored receiver, with four catches for 128 yards and two touchdowns.

Near the end of the fourth quarter, Bamberg scored another touchdown, but it wasn’t enough.

Rota’s quarterbacks also played well, with K.C. Mason rushing for 40 yards and Holland solidly handing the ball off and scrambling for yards.

The championship was the first for Rota since 2004. Rota’s senior lineman Anthony Davis attributed the victory to his team’s ability to bounce back even when Bamberg made it close.

“I’m happy that it was a hard fight for the championship,” he said. “We worked really hard for this.”

Coronado said that he enjoyed watching his team take

home the title.“I get pleasure watching them cheer, cry, knowing that

they’re champions,” he said. “That’s where my joy comes from.”

For Paris, the victory was extra sweet because he is a senior and will be graduating this year.

“All that hard work paid off,” he said. “Now it’s time to go celebrate.”

Luna-led Admirals Capture Another TitleRAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany - The Rota Admirals came into Saturday’s match against the International School of Florence seeking a second straight Division III volleyball title.

In order for that to happen, they had to figure out a way to stop the feisty and technically proficient Florence squad.

The Admirals did just that, making use of their most potent weapon, the cannon-like arm of All-Europe sophomore Aspen Luna, to sink the Wild Boars in straight sets; 25 - 19, 25 - 13 and 25 - 15.

The opening set was the hardest fought, as Florence tipped and dumped balls into holes in the Rota defense.

After drawing within three points deep in the first set, Rota senior setter Yesenia Solis rallied her teammates by serving for four straight points, the last one punctu-ated by a Luna kill - one of her 16 on the day. The Admirals never looked back.

Rota coach Melinda Luna made some adjustments be-tween sets, pulling back those not blocking to better cover the middle of the court. And she gave her green light for an all out assault.

“I told Yesenia to get it to the power hitters,” the Admirals coach said.

Solis more than complied with her coach’s orders, she perfected them 26 times. Her assists total wasn’t some-thing that was on the setter’s mind following the match, though.

“This championship is extra special,” Solis said, following her final match in an Admirals uniform.

Florence was overwhelmed by the power coming its way following the Rota adjustments and started to commit

mental errors. It was much the same for most of the third set, with Rota up 18-9, when Florence started to make things interesting.

The Admirals started to drift away from their power game and the Wild Boars used the Admirals caution to reel off three straight points to draw back into the set and give Florence players a much needed confidence boost.

Two straight Luna kills sucked all the wind out of the Florence sails, though, as Rota, sporting French braid hairdos, walked out of Ramstein’s Southside gym as champions.

“Every championship we wear French braids,” said Rota junior Natalia Rivera, who finished with 5 kills and 4 aces.

“I’m really proud of the team, we really worked hard,” Luna said.
