A representative from a veterans’ advocacy group challenged the chiefs’ mess aboard USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) (GHWB) to the 22Kill Pushup Challenge. Mike Brauer, a board member for 22Kill, issued the challenge to the chief petty officers and chief selects during a visit to the carrier. 22Kill was formed in 2013 to bring awareness to the epidemic of veteran suicide. “We’re a veterans organization focused on raising awareness, finding solutions, and providing counseling for vets that have transitioned but also drawing attention to the active duty suicide rate as well,” Brauer said. “We’ve lost more in the last two years to suicide than to combat. It’s the highest death count we have in the military right now.” Brauer said 22Kill helps veterans transition back to civilian life through both constructive activities and making connections with other people. “We do a lot of activities to help people reintegrate with the civilian world, and also do a lot of healing through outdoor activities,” Brauer said. “We do [things like] fly fishing and hunting. We also built a nation-wide interactive map of battle buddies that

The lights shone down on the players as they interlocked with one another and awaited commands. “Crouch, touch, pause, engage,” yelled a rugby captain as two opposing players launched themselves into one another during a scrum to start the next play of rugby. USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) Rugby Football Club, the Ike Maulers, battled hard against the Golden Eagles, the local Bahraini rugby football club, in Manama, Aug. 14. This marked a couple of firsts for many Ike players – their first international rugby game and, for some, playing the sport for the first time. “The team did phenomenal overall,” Maulers’ captain Lt. j.g. Caleb Healy said. “We got every one of our players at least 15 minutes of playing time, which was our biggest success today because they got to see the feats of their work.” The team had been practicing for the past several weeks as often as they could in Eisenhower’s hangar bays while at sea to prepare for the match. There may not have been a lot of room, but the team found the time and space to make the practices work, even with the heat reaching above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. “It’s much nicer to play in Bahrain than in the hangar bay,” Airman Michael O’Connell said. “Playing on grass with cleats is definitely better than playing on » See RUGBY | A7

On Nov. 15, 2006, Flanigan, then an Explosive Ordnance Disposal 2nd Class, and his team responded to a Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle that had been destroyed by an improvised explosive device (IED). Following the IED strike, anti-coalition fighters had made several attempts to set up IEDs around the blast site. That evening, Flanigan and his team eventually arrived at the site after disarming three IEDs enroute to the site. Upon dismounting their vehicles to conduct a post-blast analysis, a large explosion threw Flanigan to the ground, knocking him unconscious. He woke up a short time later, deaf in one ear and with swollen leg and various lacerations to his body after a wall had fallen on him. “I feel a great relief in the knowledge that the military has recognized the damage done to my brain throughout that deployment,” Flanigan said. “I’m grateful to have served this nation and to be recognized for that sacrifice. I am hopeful that future generations of EOD technicians will benefit from the acknowledgement from the military of the damage to their service members.”

Joe just graduated from Maine Maritime Academy last year, and Nick has been studying there for the last two years. The entire Zinni family is very proud of both boys and their contribution to the Navy.” The Zinni family’s tradition of serving in the U.S. military spans back to World War II and is as vibrant today. Ensign Zinni explained how “proud” he was to be “working with family while deployed.” “My family has been serving the country for several generations,” he said. “I knew I always wanted to be in the Navy like my father.” It was a special moment for Ensign Zinni as he celebrated
his birthday by conning Mason’s approach to Laramie. “I have not been disappointed once to be at sea during my birthday,” he said. “This year was special because it was the first year that I saw family for it! I read my brother’s ship would be conducting a RAS with us and was ecstatic. I got to conn Mason alongside Laramie and show my brother how it’s done.” The Zinni brothers took advantage of their proximity and were able to communicate while on station. “It was an even better surprise and a real treat when our commanding officer allowed me to use the sound powered phone to talk to my brother,” Ensign Zinni said. “It was one of the best birthdays I have ever had. It just goes to show there is no better gift than family.”

Parting shots: VFA-81 bids farewell to CVW-17 By Ensign Paxon Wallace VFA-81 Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH
The Sunliners of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 81 flew their last events as part of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 17. During a two-week Naval Weapons Evaluation Program (NWSEP) detachment known as Combat Archer at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida. VFA-94 and VFA-22 accompanied the Sunliners during the exercise as part of CVW-17. CVW-17 launched a total of 44 missiles, breaking the program’s previous record. As part of Combat Archer, the U.S. Air Force 83rd Fighter Weapons Squadron supported pilots and aircrew in assessing the entire process of preparing aircraft with various weapons configurations and employing them in-flight. NWSEP evaluates weapons systems to include aircraft,
weapons delivery systems, ordnance, technical data, and aircrew ability to employ and maintain the same. In addition to important practice with live-fire weapons, the program seeks to identify deficiencies and develop corrective plans to further optimize current capabilities. With much of today’s training being simulated, NWSEP affords a critical opportunity for fighter squadrons to gain valuable hands-on experience with weapons systems and processes. “Getting to fire live missiles like this after so many years of simulated practice is certainly a rare opportunity,” VFA-81 Lt. Keary Bonner said. Having deployed with CVW-17 last year aboard the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, VFA-81 leaves behind a storied legacy as it looks to write its next chapter with CVW-1.

The Patriot Guard will have flags at the air show for patrons to sign, and will ride their motorcycles across the flightline while carrying the badge of a New York firefighter who died during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The badge was later given to a local Navy SEAL to carry on missions. “We will be carrying a badge from New York City firefighter Thomas Butler and a patch from Navy SEAL Mark Carter who carried Thomas Butler’s badge on several missions,” Assistant State Captain for the Hampton Roads area of the Virginia Patriot Guard Riders Wayne Anderson said. “We will be carrying them in honor of those two guys and everyone else who has served since 9/11.” 15 years ago, after 9/11, the New York City Fire Chief gave the SEALs 16 firefighter’s badges who had died during the 9/11 terrorist attacks to carry with them on missions. When one of those Navy SEALs, Chief Special Warfare Operator Mark Carter was killed during a combat mission, the badge was given to the Patriot Guard Riders. “To be carrying the badge and the patch means a lot to

They would escort the families of passed service members to their funerals and protect them from the protestors. “We’re not a counter-protest group,” Anderson said. “All we do is stand the flag line and if they start making noise, we would rev the engines to drown out their chatter.

USS Mason conducts antisubmarine warfare exercises with UK, Australian navies By MC3 Janweb B. Lagazo USS Mason (DDG 87) Public Affairs ARABIAN SEA
Sailors aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG 87), part of the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group (CSG), concluded bilateral anti-submarine warfare (ASW) exercises with the Royal Australian navy and the United Kingdom’s Royal navy. Mason, recently the recipient of the U.S. Navy’s prestigious ASW bloodhound award, led the Ship Anti-Submarine Warfare Readiness and Evaluation Measurement (SHAREM) exercise with U.K. Royal navy’s Fort-class fleet replenishment ship RFA Fort Victoria and Type 23 frigate HMS Portland (F 79), Australian Royal navy’s Anzacclass frigate HMAS Perth (FFH 157), Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Nitze (DDG 94) and Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS Dallas (SSN 700). “We love training,” Mason Command Master Chief Ronn Shasky said. “We love showing how much we’ve learned, how much we’ve absorbed, and continuing Mason’s great legacy as submarine fighters. It’s no secret that we’ve been
one of the better, if not the best ship in the Atlantic Fleet for a long time. The ASW Bloodhound award is a tribute to our ASW team which includes our watch team on the bridge, in combat, and on the flight deck.” The multi-day exercise featured procedures which tested the ships’ capacity to detect, locate, and engage submarines using fathometers, multi-functional towed arrays (MFTAs), sonobuoys, and active and passive sonar. “It’s important to work with foreign allies in ASW,” Mason’s ASW officer Lt. j.g. Nick Gutierrez said. “The more opportunity we have to work with foreign nations to help build our cohesiveness and mission readiness is absolutely crucial for the future.” Gutierrez explained the scenarios measured the groups’ “abilities to work individually and as one cohesive ASW unit.” “We started out as four ships that have never worked together,” Portland Executive Officer Lt. Cmdr. Thom Hobbs said. “We came together using a whole series of common tactics and procedures we learned from our home navies and we put them into practice in a difficult area of the world for [ASW]. We improved on them and accomplished what we set out to do.” Hobbs continued to emphasize SHAREM allowed the ships to evaluate “how effectively surface ships and aircraft can work together to detect and track submarines,” culminating in the launching of a training torpedo to prosecute a simulated target. “It was great to work with such a proficient team,”, air boss of the of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 74 Lt. Cmdr. Katie Lunser said. “We always appreciate the time and coordination it takes for this type of training.” Gutierrez said Mason’s anti-submarine tactical air controllers have a “unique connection and relationship” with the pilots of HSM 74 and are able to work “near flawlessly together.” SHAREM challenged the watchstanders’ abilities in successfully tracking, localizing, and targeting an undersea target.

“This gave us the chance to knock off our ASW rust,” Mason’s Commanding Officer Cmdr. Christopher J. Gilbertson. “It allowed us to do what we’re best at – our job. The key now is making lessons learned, not just lessons documented. Implementing is our goal now. Overall, it was great to work with professionals and we always appreciate the exercise.” Mason continues to be part of the United States’ commitment to Combined Maritime Forces (CMF), a multi-national naval partnership, which was created between 31 navies, including the United Kingdom’s Royal navy and the Royal Australian navy. CMF’s mission is to promote security, stability, and prosperity across approximately 3.2 million square miles of international waters while working with regional partners in countering terrorism, preventing piracy and promoting a safe maritime environment. “This exercise was an opportunity to show the fleet and the world why we’re number one when it comes to [ASW],” Shasky said. “Our ASW team is top-notch. All of our Sailors’ professionalism, training, motivation, drive, hunger, and what they do are second to none.” Mason has worked with seven of the 31 member nations in CMF since beginning their scheduled deployment – Italy, Greece, Turkey, France, Germany, Australia and the U.K. Mason is deployed to support maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility and deployed with the Eisenhower CSG. Along with Mason, Eisenhower CSG includes CSG 10 staff, Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 26 staff, aircraft carrier USS Dwight D.

IKE CELEBRATES ONE YEAR OUT OF THE YARDS By MC3 Cole Keller USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Public Affairs ARABIAN GULF
The aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) celebrated the one-year mark since returning to operational status as it continues to support Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR) in the Arabian Gulf. After an extended dry-docking planned incremental availability (DPIA) in Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY), Eisenhower’s crew was able, in less than nine months, to ready the ship for its 15th deployment, but it was no easy task. The crew embarked on an arduous, compressed work-up schedule that tested the dedication of the crew and families as they completed the basic phase in only 15 1/2 weeks, which is normally 22 weeks. During this time they completed numerous certifications and inspections before they moved onto the toughest challenges. On Feb. 25, the crew faced the Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) Material Inspections (MI). Because of postponements due to operational requirements and more than 1,400 days at sea, this was Ike’s first INSURV in nearly 10 years. With a warship nearing four decades of faithful service, a certain level of repair is expected, but all hands had to double their efforts and rise to the challenge to pass the three-day, onboard inspection. “Bringing the ship to life from the yards proved to be a challenging task,” Eisenhower’s Maintenance and Material Management (3M) officer Lt. Kurt Bogart said. “Sailors and (3M) run the ship. Everything from the toilets, aircraft elevators, lights, ovens and much more is maintained by Sailors utilizing the 3M system.” Bogart explained when he arrived January 2015 there were over 50,000 items in an inactive equipment status around the ship. The crew put in a great effort to bring all of these items back online and prepare them within specifications in time for an INSURV, just seven months after leaving the shipyard. “I have never been part of a work-up cycle as intense as we underwent,” Bogart said. “The crew truly shined getting us back to an
operational asset that the United States can utilize where and when necessary without worries of equipment limiting casualties. Procedural compliance and dedication got us to where we are today. I am sure that a lesser crew could not have accomplished what we have.” After several training events to demonstrate Ike’s crew could operate on their own, it was time to train as a team. The ships and air wing of the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group (Ike CSG) came together and commenced a composite training unit exercise (COMPTUEX), March 16. The series of exercises tested the CSG’s ability to perform and effectively respond as an integrated team during simulated scenarios the group may encounter while deployed or during high-end warfare. “It’s amazing what we’ve been able to accomplish in just a year,” Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) 2nd Class Keyonnia Cook said. “It hasn’t always been easy, but it has been fun. All those long days on the flight deck and training have brought all the different divisions, air wing and ships company together as a single team.” The Eisenhower CSG, made up of the integrated forces of Eisenhower, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 3, guided-missile destroyers USS Nitze (DDG 94), USS Mason (DDG 87), USS Stout (DDG 55), and USS Roosevelt (DDG 80) that comprise Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 26, and guided-missile cruisers USS San Jacinto (CG 56) and USS Monterey (CG 61) completed all workups necessary to deploy in record time. In a matter of months, Eisenhower led the way passing crew certifications, three levels of command assessment of readiness and training (CART), a tailored ship’s training availability/final evaluation problem (TSTA/FEP), and finally the most complex COMPTUEX any strike group in the Navy has been asked to accomplish. In just eight months, the combined efforts of all hands made getting underway for the deployment’s June 1 departure date possible. Optimally, a work-up cycle is longer, but the team pulled together in true Eisenhower fashion to get the job done. Eisenhower departed Naval Station Nor-

folk and began its journey across the Atlantic Ocean to its ultimate destination, the Arabian Gulf. Along the way, it went through the Strait of Gibraltar, made a port call in Naples, Italy, provided support to OIR from the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, transited the Suez Canal and navigated the Strait of Hormuz. “We had trained relentlessly through the entire work-up process, running security drills over and over,” Master-at-Arms 2nd Class Agustas Cherry said, describing the force protection preparation for potentially hostile waters. “When we passed through the Strait of Hormuz is when the realization of what we were doing and where we were became real. All that practicing was for this moment. The time for training was over; now it’s the real deal.” Eisenhower then reached its destination in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility, where it has the led the way in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) with 587 combat sorties and 322 ordnance expended by the “EisenhowerBattle Axe” team. In less than a year, a dormant ship buried under a pile of maintenance jobs was brought to life and returned to its intended position as a capable, warfighting American asset. An aircraft carrier takes work to run and each of the more than 5,100 Sailors attached are vital to operations. The crew of the ship, 1,042 of which checked on-board
after Aug. 28, spent 231 days (63 percent) of the last year at sea, working diligently around the clock to ensure Eisenhower became a capable fighting force. It makes the accomplishment that much more impressive because more than 60 percent of the crew had never been to sea prior to sea trials one year ago. Now, 63,142 nautical miles later, the effort by the Sailors and their families is not lost on Ike’s Executive Officer Capt. Robert Aguilar, who joined the crew three months prior to departing NNSY. “It’s hard to believe that just 12 months ago, we were coming out of the yards,” Aguilar said. “At that time we were a green crew, untested and untried. Now, one year to the day, the crew of the ‘Mighty Ike’ is combatproven and meeting every challenge head on with great self-confidence. I am proud to be part of this resilient crew of professional Sailors. Every day underway is a personal best for all of us. Of course, the sacrifices that each Sailor makes in their personal lives to be here is only possible because of the amazing support that we get from our families and friends back home. As we approach the halfway point of this cruise, I look forward to completing this deployment with pride and real sense of accomplishment as we do our nation’s work in support of freedom and our American ideals.” For more news from USS Dwight D.

During the 20-day testing period, which is set to conclude Sept. 1, objectives included external symmetric and asymmetric weapons loadings; launches and recoveries at maximum weight; approach handling qualities; landing systems certification; and engine logistics. In addition to phase three of shipboard developmental testing, jet after jet thundered on and off the deck as 12 instructors and pilots from Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 101, out of Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, completed the Navy’s first fleet carrier qualifications, with each pilot knocking out two touch-and-goes and 10 arrested landings. “The work we did [during the two previous testing phases at sea] directly fed what VFA-101 was able to come out and do today,” lead flight test engineer Tom Briggs explained, who is with the F-35 Lightning II Integrated Test Force (ITF) at Naval Air Station Patuxent River and recipient of the 2015 Department of the Navy Lead Tester of the Year award. “For those of us involved in the program for quite a while, it was incredibly gratifying to see them come out and use that work to start making this aircraft real and get it out to the fleet.” Cmdr. Ted “Dutch” Dyckman, Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 23 test pilot, landing signal officer, and squadron operations officer at Patuxent River, started out flying F/A-18 Hornets, moved to F/A-18 Super Hornets, and now flies the F-35C. This was his third ship trip and 50th trap – and he has a definite favorite. “I prefer the F-35,” Dyckman said. “It’s easy to fly, autopilot is nice, cockpit has good visibility, and mission systems make it easy to do your task.” One of the most difficult and hazardous tasks in naval aviation is landing on the deck of an aircraft carrier, something now made simpler by Delta Flight Path. Developed by Lockheed Martin after a lot of crosstalk and technology sharing with Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) personnel, the semiautomated landing mode significantly helps lower a pilot’s workload task. “The control laws allow aircraft to fly a commanded glide slope,” Dyckman said. “Before, you had to manually fly that path through the air. Now, at the push of a button, the airplane will tip over and fly that path. If I have a good approach behind ship, I can push one button. If there are deviations, I can make a correction. Other than that, I may not touch the stick at all during the approach, from the start until touchdown. Coming to the ship is as easy as landing on an airfield now and that enables us to spend less time training guys to land on the ship.”

Other testing involved improved nighttime visibility for the aircraft’s third generation helmet, which displays symbology right on the pilot’s visor. “I don’t have to look down for a piece of info on one display, then to another display and correlate it all in my head; everything appears in the helmet,” Dyckman said. “When I look out, even if I’m looking away from where I’m going, I can see my target information, airspeed, altitude, threats. With this airplane, I basically have a display with my aircraft in the center and it presents information for situational awareness.” Officer in charge of Air Test and Evalu-
ation Squadron (VX) 23 test detachment, test pilot Lt. Cmdr. Daniel Kitts, noted three things about the F-35C that excite him. “The ability to bring the aircraft back aboard the ship safely the first time, every time for the most junior pilot to the most senior is one of its major advantages,” Kitts said. “Also, the incorporation of its mission systems to the pilot and the fusion of that information are really going to make it a lethal tactical platform. Lastly, its ability to share that information with other assets in the fleet is going to help build the picture for the whole carrier strike group. Not to mention, we’re bringing a stealthy airplane to the
carrier decks for the first time.” DT-III was an incremental buildup on five years of work from the Patuxent River ITF team, beginning with the first aircraft’s initial onshore catapult and arresting gear testing and ending with the hundreds of operational cats and traps that recently took place aboard Washington. Having completed the gross weights and load up testing necessary to provide the fleet with a full launch and recovery bulletin, it was the final phase of testing. “This is the last time we’re coming to a carrier for F-35 testing and support for Navy IOC [initial operational capability],” director of Test and Evaluation/F-35 Naval Variants Cmdr. J. Ryan Murphy explained. “It was satisfying to watch [VFA-101] start to utilize the aircraft. After all, that’s the point of all the years of work – to equip and empower the fleet with the F-35C.” The F-35C, the Navy carrier variant of the Joint Strike Fighter, conducted its first shipboard test flights in November 2014 aboard the aircraft carriers USS Nimitz (CVN 68) and follow-on developmental testing aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) in October 2015. Engineered for a carrier, its 51-foot wingspan is larger than the Air Force’s F-35A and Marine Corps’ F-35B short take-off-and-landing variants. “It’s going to be a viable aircraft that’s going to do what it’s been designed to do,” Briggs said. It is expected the Navy will declare initial operational capability in 2018.

RUGBY | “Crouch, touch,
pause, engage!” Continued from A1 non-skid as we do all the time.” Being able to participate in a community relations project like this is a great opportunity to play a new sport with fellow Sailors, and also be able to meet and form new bonds with people from around the world, stated Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Dartez Williams. The rugby exhibition brought locals together to meet Sailors, and gave both U.S. Sailors and Bahraini people an opportunity to see there is more to the U.S. Navy than life at sea. “We played really hard together,” Maulers team member Lt. James Royal said. “To experience the teamwork, camaraderie and sportsmanship with the other team on the field was fantastic.” The Ike Maulers were unable to clinch the victory over the Golden Eagles, and the final score was 31-17. “The key is to have fun with it,” Healy said. “When you have fun, you learn a lot better.” The Maulers will keep practicing and honing their rugby skills as they look forward to their future matches.

ROOSEVELT | Ship will
receive major changes during shipyard period Continued from A1 “Having the ability to get repairs and maintenance completed while on deployment that we would normally wait to get accomplished in our homeport is essential to continuing the ship’s mission,”, ship’s maintenance and materials officer Chief Warrant Officer 2 Jerry Walker said. The time in port consisted of the maintenance team and ship’s force completing jobs, conducting ship checks and documenting additional work requirements. This effort enabled Roosevelt to identify issues that can be resolved during her post-deployment extended maintenance availability. Identifying these issues early is key in Roosevelt’s sustainability. “It keeps the ship in optimal material condition, allowing us to stay on track with our schedule in support of the OFRP,” Walker said. The shipyard period will contain major changes for Roosevelt, including a ballistic missile defense upgrade, hybrid electric drive and the consolidated afloat networks and enterprise services system installation.

“22Kill represents the 22 veterans who commit suicide a day,” Giunta said. “That’s one almost every single hour. It’s not young enlisted; it’s not old officers; it’s not those who have deployed or haven’t deployed; it’s everyone across the board. This is an epidemic that needs to be stopped. “The problem I see,” Giunta continued, “is people not talking about it. We don’t talk about it. These people don’t seek help. They quit their own lives, by themselves, alone. We shouldn’t be alone in life. We are better as a team and we need to keep the team together and let everyone know how important they are.” Giunta said it was great to be involved in a team effort with fellow military personnel, in part due to the losses he has experienced. “In my eight years in the Army and my two years on deployment, I lost 28 buddies,” Giunta said. “They gave everything so we could have it today – so we can have it tomorrow. When we left the military, I had five buddies in the last five years commit suicide. These are people who would do anything for you. They’d give you the shirt off their backs. And when they were left alone and they didn’t have a battle buddy and they didn’t want to talk about it – they committed suicide. That is the ultimate ‘game over’.” Giunta said it is people like those he has worked beside and people aboard GHWB that have ensured America’s greatness and will preserve it for generations. “I tell you what, I have never been more proud of our men and women in uniform,” Giunta said. “You can look at a ship, and it doesn’t do anything for you. It’s just a piece of machinery. But when you put the people on the ship and see planes taking off and things breaking and getting fixed, and leaders who don’t just say, ‘go do this’, but say ‘here, follow me, let me show you how to

In accordance with the FFA, all identified environmental restoration sites, areas of concern, and solid waste management units were to be reviewed with a course of action for future work requirements at each site to be developed. Of the 59 locations initially identified, the properties associated with 56 of these locations have been returned to the Navy with no land use restrictions. Of the remaining three locations, remedies are in place to control long-term threats and land use restrictions are being maintained to protect human health from unacceptable exposure to contaminants that remain. Also in attendance was EPA Region III Administrator Shawn Garvin and VDEQ Director David Paylor.
up on the flight deck, it reinvigorates you to see this orchestrated ballet of teamwork that goes on out there and the support for each other, and the amazing leadership that we’ve seen, molding these young men and women.” As for the challenge, Phillips and the chiefs’ mess proudly accepted. “We got up bright and early and did pushups on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean to get people thinking about how they can help veterans,” Phillips said. “What’s more American than that? As Bush’s Command Master Chief, it’s been an honor to meet Staff Sgt. Giunta and shake his hand. He’s the only Medal of Honor recipient I’ve ever met. Doing pushups alongside him, leading my Chiefs and my Sailors, it’s a powerful experience. It’s the pinnacle of teamwork: one team, one fight.” Phillips then passed the challenge to another Norfolk-based aircraft carrier. “I would like to challenge the crew of USS George Washington to do the same,” Phillips said. “Specifically, I would like to call out Command Master Chief James Smitty Tocozic to step up and help us bring awareness to this serious issue.”
Ike Sailors volunteer at American Cultural Education Center in Bahrain By MCSN Joshua Murray USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Public Affairs MANAMA, BAHRAIN
Sailors assigned to aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) participated in a community outreach event during a port call at the American Cultural Education Center (ACEC) in Manama, Bahrain. ACEC is a school which teaches Bahraini youth English and American culture to prepare them to attend a western school. “I really enjoyed working with the students,” Religious Program Specialist 2nd Class Johnathan Hurkmans said, who participated in the event. “It’s nice to get to interact with people from other cultures. I hope the students liked learning from us as much as we enjoyed speaking with them.” The Sailors visited Bahraini students in different phases of their English education, with one class newer to English and
two intermediate groups. They talked with students about themselves, their homes and their jobs in the Navy. Interacting with the Sailors presented the opportunity for the children to practice what they have learned by discussing American customs and culture. “It was a good chance for us to be part of something bigger than ourselves, to show we’re more than just a fighting force; we’re a global presence that cares and is here to help,” Hurkmans said. “Projects like this lead to a mutual understanding between cultures, and are a great way for people who would normally never speak to understand each other on a human level.” “This has been a great opportunity for our students,” an instructor at ACEC Zimra Elliot said. “They were all very interested in having volunteers teach them about American culture firsthand. It’s been wonderful.”

Kiwi Sailor of the Year visits Pacific fleet headquarters By MC2 Brian M. Wilbur U.S. Pacific Fleet Public Affairs PEARL HARBOR
By Dustin Q. Diaz Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division Public Affairs WEST BETHESDA, MD.
Employees at Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Carderock Division, and members of private industry began testing game-changing improvements in the efficiency of wave energy conversion (WEC) devices by effectively capturing more energy from ocean waves. The Wave Energy Prize is a public prize competition open to all U.S. entities, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and supported by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and NSWC Carderock Division. Carderock established an interagency agreement with DOE spring 2014 and contest registration began April 2015. The contest will run 20 months from beginning to end, including design, building and testing. Carderock employees account for this phase’s test directors, signal conditioning and data acquisition, general logistics team, mooring team and optical tracking team. Dave Newborn, an ocean engineer with Carderock’s Maritime Systems Hydromechanics Branch, said he and Miguel Quintero, an ocean engineer with the Full-Scale Trials Branch, have been involved throughout the process – including writing the competition rules, serving as judges and test directors, and providing technical and logistical support for contestants and program identified partners like the Sandia National Laboratory (SNL) in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado. Given the large number of initial applicants to the Wave Energy Prize, Dr. Dylan Temple, an engineer with the Seakeeping and Testing Branch, also served as a judge for technology gate one, the initial application stage. “There’s been a colossal effort by Miguel and I, » See ENERGY | B6

Jason Bortz Lt. Chad Lomas, pediatrician, Naval Hospital Pensacola, examines the motor skills of Bruce Matchin’s daughter during a well-baby exam. Well-baby exams help ensure babies are developing properly and also provide an opportunity for parents to develop a relationship with their baby’s pediatrician or physician.
The importance of well-baby exams By Jason Bortz Naval Hospital Pensacola Public Affairs PENSACOLA, FLA.
Well-baby exams, which are just regular checkups, are an important way to ensure babies are growing and developing properly. These exams also provide an opportunity for parents to develop a relationship with their baby’s pediatrician or physician. Well-baby exams begin three to five days after birth and continue until the baby reaches the age of 24 months. In total, 11 exams should be conducted during this time at three to five days, two weeks, one month, two months, four months, six months, nine months, 12 months, 14 months, 18 months and 24 months. “Well-baby exams are preventative care,” pediatrician at Naval Hospital Pensacola (NHP) Lt. Chad Lomas said, “but they are also an opportunity to build a relationship between the physician and parents. Babies don’t come with an instructional manual, so I work with the parents to answer questions or address any concerns they may have during the exams.”
Well-baby exams usually begin with measurements that will be plotted on a growth chart to determine a baby’s growth curve, which track’s a baby’s height and weight progression. Parents can expect a thorough exam during the appointments that will include the following: - Head: The physician will exam the shape of the baby’s head and the fontanels, which are soft spots that give the baby’s brain room to grow. - Ears: The baby’s ears will be checked for fluid or infection and the physician will observe the baby’s response to various sounds. - Eyes: The physician will use a bright object or flashlight to track the baby’s eye movements. - Mouth: The baby’s mouth will be examined for signs of oral thrush, which is a common and easily treated yeast infection. The physician will also look for early signs of teething such as drooling or chewing. - Skin: Birthmarks and rashes may be identified during the exams. - Heart and Lungs: The physician will listen to the baby’s heart and lungs to detect abnormal heart sounds or breathing complications.
- Abdomen: An exam of the baby’s abdomen can show tenderness, enlarged organs or an umbilical hernia. - Hips and Legs: The physician will check for dislocations or other problems by moving the baby’s legs. - Genitalia: The baby’s genitalia will be checked for tenderness, lumps or other signs of infections. - Neurological: The physician will check for appropriate muscle strength and tone. During some well-baby exams, parents may also choose to have their baby receive the recommended immunizations such as chickenpox, hepatitis A and B, polio, measles and mumps. While vaccines are not required during well-baby exams, they are encouraged. “Parents do not have to have immunizations for their babies during well-baby exams, but they are strongly recommended,” nurse consultant for Disease Management, NHP Evelyn Johnson said. “Immunizations are the single most important way parents can protect their children from serious diseases.” Eleven appointments may seem
A TALE FOR THOSE LEFT BEHIND By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Contributor
Their eyes were locked on me, reading my every thought, prying at my secrets, peering uninvited into my soul. The light over the table swayed, uncomfortably bright. Beads of cold sweat sprouted along my hairline. I braced myself for the inevitable interrogation … “How do you like the pork chops, Dumpling?” she asked, with a nonchalance that belied her intrusive stare. “Delicious, Mom,” I sputtered between cheekfulls of pork and potatoes, hoping that the compliment might end my ordeal. “So, what happened at school today?” my father pressed while pushing applesauce around his plate. Wide-eyed and hunched in a self-protective posture at the opposite end of our kitchen table, I muttered the one word that had allowed me to avoid my parents’ attention for so many years: “Nothin’.” “Well, something must’ve happened at school today. Here, I’ll help you out. So … you stepped off the bus, and then?” he badgered, mercilessly. My older brother, Tray, had recently gone off to the U.S. Naval Academy, leaving me home alone, with our parents. For so many years, I had flown completely under the radar. But now, my only sibling was gone. As the first born, Tray had always carried the entire burden of my parents’ expectations for their offspring. I had merely been the unremarkable little sister of The Golden Boy,
The Favorite, The Apple of Their Eye. Tray not only fulfilled, but exceeded their hopes – he was a popular top athlete with gifted math and science skills, who went on to become a Navy jet pilot. His obvious superiority left me free to drift contentedly through childhood, bouncing unnoticed between mediocre and above average. Wearing ratty Converse Chucks, hand-medown jean cut-offs, and a camp t-shirt, I’d ride my yellow Schwinn through our neighborhood, my Kool-Aid backpack packed with a cheese sandwich, a few Wacky Package collectors cards, and a Thermos of Tang. On rainy days I’d stay in my room, lost in elaborate pretend scenarios, or I’d play my mother’s old 45s on my Fisher Price record player. As a child, I did not resent Tray for getting all of my parents’ attention. Quite the contrary, I relished my quiet, comfortable, ignored existence, and happily hid in the humongous shadow of the older brother that I, too, idolized. But then he left home, and suddenly, the gig was up. It was as if my parents, Durwood and Diane, looked through the unexpected void left by my brother’s absence and noticed, “Oh yeah … Who is that there? Is that the other one … the little dumpy one … what’s her name again? Oh yes, it’s Lisa!” I was entering the tenth grade, when I suddenly became the subject of my parents’ undivided attention. Mom was now interested in what I wore, my social behavior, and how I did my hair. “Oh, Dumpling, let me help you give a little height to those bangs,” she would
like a lot of visits, but a baby’s body and mind are changing at a remarkable rate and frequent exams can reveal medical issues that may need attention. Identifying problems is always in the best interest of the baby and parents. “Well-baby exams help ensure optimal physical, emotional and mental growth of a child,” Lomas said. “They are also an opportunity for parents to ask any questions they may have to a physician.” Established in 1826, Naval Hospital Pensacola’s mission is to provide patent centered superior quality health care to those it is privileged to serve. The command is comprised of the main hospital and 10 branch health clinics across five states. Of its patient population (over 150,000 active and retired Sailors, soldiers, Marines, airmen, guardsmen, and their families), almost 58,000 are enrolled with a primary care manager and a Medical Home Port Team at one of its facilities.

say, licking her thumb. My Dad, who had no previous interest in my athletic accomplishments, which by the way, included a second place ribbon for the standing broad jump at church camp, started showing up to all of my high school swim meets. My teammates knew this sudden change in attention made me nervous, and would alert me when he appeared in the chlorine-steamed stands, “Head’s up, Lisa – Durwood’s here!” Night after agonizing night, I was interrogated by my parents at the dinner table, forced to reveal my likes, dislikes, social pursuits, academic achievements, ambitions, disappointments, hopes and dreams. Durwood and Diane took an unprecedented interest in me, having long talks about life, getting me horseback riding lessons, taking photographs of me before dances, and bragging about me to their friends. It was like I was their kid or something. Weird. Thirty-five years later, our youngest child, Lilly, is wide-eyed and crouched defensively in her chair at the dinner table, as if we are about to pummel her with dinner rolls. Her sister left for college last week, and Lilly’s instinct is telling her, the gig is up. But there’s no need for those left behind to afraid. I’ve lived through it myself, and I’m here to tell the tale. It will take some time, but soon, you will get used to being the center of attention. Those strange people who’ve been ignoring you all these years? Don’t worry, they won’t hurt you. They are simply your parents, and they are finally beginning to realize that you are pretty darned interesting after all. Currently stationed in Newport, RI, Lisa is a 20-year Navy spouse and mother of three teenagers, whose award-winning columns appear in military and civilian newspapers nationwide, and on her blog, themeatandpotatoesoflife.com.

Decatur, along with guided-missile destroyers USS Momsen (DDG 92) and USS Spruance (DDG 111), are deployed in support of maritime security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific as part of a U.S. 3rd Fleet Pacific Surface Action Group (PAC SAG) under Destroyer Squadron 31 (CDS 31).
Ships conduct antisubmarine warfare exercise with Japan From U.S. 3rd Fleet Public Affairs PHILIPPINE SEA
The guided-missile destroyers USS Decatur (DDG 73) and USS Spruance (DDG 111) conducted bilateral training exercises in the Philippine Sea with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMDSF), Aug. 22-26. The Ship Anti-Submarine Warfare Readiness Effectiveness Measuring (SHAREM) program is a series of events focused on anti-submarine warfare procedures and tactics designed to measure how effectively surface ships and aircraft can detect and track submarines. It also served as a joint exercise with JMSDF naval assets, with both countries embarking liaison officers from the other to maximize communication and understanding throughout the evolution.
“SHAREM was an exceptional opportunity to improve our anti-submarine warfare skills and work alongside our Japanese allies,� anti-submarine warfare officer, Destroyer Squadron (CDS) 31 Lt. j.g. Sean Quirk said. “These unique exercises improve our bilateral capabilities, making us a stronger combined force to deter any adversary.� Decatur and Spruance were joined by the Japanese Akizuki-class destroyer JS Teruzuki (DDG 116), an Oyashio-class diesel-electric submarine and a Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine. In the initial days of the event, the ships took advantage of their close proximity and ran maneuvering drills and visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS) exercises. “The relationship with JMSDF is a crucial aspect of our overall partnership with the Japanese,� Commander of CDS 31

Capt. Charles Johnson said. “I believe that by conducting the SHAREM and other exercises together and analyzing the effectiveness of our tactics it will further improve our interoperability.� Decatur and Spruance, along with USS Momsen (DDG 92) and the embarked detachments of Helicopter Strike Squadron (HSM) 49 are part of the 3rd Fleet Pacific Surface Action Group (PAC SAG), led by CDS 31 and operating under U.S. 3rd Fleet, as demonstrating the “3rd Fleet Forward� concept. Since departing on deployment in April, the 3rd Fleet PAC SAG executed various naval activities and routine missions in the Western Pacific, including Oceania Maritime Security Initiative (OMSI) as well as joint exercises with the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Marine Corps and bilateral
exercises with several countries, including the Republic of Korea, Australia and Japan, which helped strengthen international maritime relations. The U.S. Navy maintains a presence in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region to help preserve peace and security and to further partnerships with friends and allies. The 3rd Fleet PAC SAG initiative leverages the technological and tactical assets of the three modern destroyers, allowing for a quick response to virtually any situation in the region. U.S. 3rd Fleet leads naval forces in the Pacific and provides the realistic, relevant training necessary for an effective global Navy. 3rd Fleet works constantly with U.S. 7th Fleet. The forces of both fleets complement one another across the spectrum of military operations in the Pacific.

PAC SAG and Australia participate In exchange program By MC3 Gerald Dudley Reynolds USS Decatur Public Affairs PHILIPPINE SEA
A member of the Royal Australian navy deployed with the inaugural U.S. 3rd Fleet Pacific Surface Action Group is helping enhance bilateral relations and support interoperability between the U.S. and Australia through the Personnel Exchange Program (PEP). Royal Australian navy Lt. Cmdr. Aaron Scott was selected for the two-year exchange program and assigned to Destroyer Squadron (CDS) 31, the staff overseeing the PAC SAG. The PEP provides one-on-one exchanges between U.S. Navy officers or career-designated petty officers and personnel from other military services or select foreign countries, including Argentina, Italy and Japan. “After being in the Royal Australian navy for 13 years and being on deployments to the Middle East and being on over a half dozen ships, being here is definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I am happy that I was selected for it,” Scott said. Under the operational control of Commander, U.S. 3rd Fleet, PAC SAG consists of destroyers USS Momsen (DDG 92), USS Decatur (DDG 73), USS Spruance (DDG 111) and the embarked detachments of Helicopter Strike Squadron (HSM) 49, demonstrating the 3rd Fleet Forward concept. Scott began his deployment in April with the CDS 31 staff on board Momsen before transferring to Decatur in July. As the principal warfare officer, one of the main objectives of his position is to study the Aegis combat system. “The RAN [Royal Australian navy] is currently designing destroyers, and we are taking the Aegis combat system and installing it
into our ships,” Scott said. “I have eight months left in the program, and it has been life changing.” Scott said another benefit of the program was the opportunity to visit several U.S. states prior arriving in Hawaii. “The hospitality of not just the American people, but of the U.S. Navy has made my adaptation and learning easy and fun,” Scott said. “I am proud and happy that Australia is working and learning from such a professional country and military.” While the style of naval training for the two countries is similar, Scott said the Aegis system on board provides an advantage. “We have damage control training and various simulated casualty trainings where we create different scenarios,” Scott said. “The one thing that the U.S. has is that Aegis allows for training and collaboration between different ships. The crew aboard has been helping me with these challenges and how to learn the different warfare areas on the ship.” Commander of CDS-31 Capt. Charles Johnson, said PEP provides benefits for participating nations. “This exchange program is an example of us working closely with the Australian military in helping to increase the securing of peace and prosperity in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region,” Johnson said. “Having Scott with us emphasizes the importance of countries learning from one another. He provides an important outlook for the PAC SAG and CDS 31, and just as he learns from us, we learn from him.” Scott also expressed various other benefits he acquired from not just the deployment, but from the exchange program as a whole. “From a professional standpoint, this PAC SAG deployment has al-

lowed me to learn how to organize and control a SAG and to pay attention to detail,” Scott said, noting that perhaps the biggest benefit of participating in PEP and being stationed to Hawaii was meeting
his future wife. “That definitely makes my time over here as a highlight of my career,” he added. Scott will stay busy after the exchange program is finished as he begins training for his next tour

NAVAL SURFACE FORCE LEADER VISITS FUTURE DESTROYER TEAMS From Naval Surface Forces, U.S. Pacific Fleet Public Affairs BATH, MAINE
Commander of Naval Surface Forces Vice Adm. Tom Rowden, visited General Dynamics Bath Iron Works shipyard to review progress and speak with the crews of three new guidedmissile destroyers currently under construction for the U.S. Navy. Rowden held a series of all-hands calls with the crews from the guided-missile destroyers Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) Zumwalt (DDG 1000), PCU Michael Monsoor (DDG 1001) and PCU Rafael Peralta (DDG 115) during his visit. “Shipbuilding is a tough and frustrating job, and I’m proud of how you’ve been able to not only take care of the ship, but also take care of each other,” Rowden said. “I can’t think of a better team than the Sailors standing in front of me, right now.” The all-hands call presented a chance for Rowden to express thanks for the continued effort of the crews,
as the executive officer of HMAS Anzac (FFGHM 150). Since departing on deployment in April, the 3rd Fleet PAC SAG executed various naval activities and routine missions in the Western Pacific, including Oceania Maritime Security Initiative (OMSI) as well as joint exercises with U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Marine Corps and bilateral exercises several countries, including Republic of Korea, Australia and Japan, helping to strengthen international maritime relations.

reiterate the importance of their work, and take in feedback from the Sailors about the process. “One advance our adversaries will never be able to get close to is the quality each and every one of you brings to the fight,” he said. “Your dedication ensures we have the ships ready to dominate at sea, and sea control is the necessary precondition for virtually everything else the Navy does.” He stressed how their work today in preparing the Navy’s newest ships to join the fleet presents an immense positive impact on the Navy’s future capabilities. “One of our greatest advantages over our adversaries is our technology, but many people say this technology gap between us and our adversaries is diminishing,” Rowden said. “Standing here on this warship (Zumwalt), I can tell you our adversaries have a long way to go.” While speaking to the Zumwalt crew, Rowden noted while the ship can perform multiple missions today, the design allows them to rapidly in-
tegrate new technologies to counter emerging threats moving forward. “Zumwalt is stealthy, powerful, and lethal,” he said. “Potential adversaries will have difficulty finding it, and it will be able to punch back in diverse ways.” Rowden noted the ship’s namesake would be pleased with the crew’s dedication. “I had the good fortune of meeting Adm. Zumwalt,” Rowden said. “I can promise you he is looking down on us and couldn’t be more proud, and I know his family shares the sentiment.” “I thank you for the blood, sweat and tears you have put into this ship,” he added. “The heart and soul of our Navy is our ability to train, to prepare for what is over the horizon. The work you’re doing here today to get these ships ready is laying the foundation for our ability to react to potential adversaries and maintain sea control in the future.” PCU Zumwalt will officially join the U.S. Navy’s fleet Oct. 15 during a commissioning ceremony in Baltimore.
More than 25 members of USS John C. Stennis’ (CVN 74) Mustang Association conducted a Adopt-A-Highway cleanup and sign dedication. The cleanup served a dual purpose as both a community service event and a tribute to late shipmate, Erik M. Sweet, former maintenance material manager and a member of John C. Stennis’ mustang community – officers who were prior enlisted. “Most of us knew Erik,” vice president of the Mustang Association Cmdr. Robert Burgess said, from Romulus, Michigan. “When I came in as the vice president ... I had an idea to do something that would memorialize Erik, but also service the community and get our name out there since we have been gone so much during the past year.” Burgess coordinated the adoption of a 3-mile stretch of Kitsap County roadway alongside John C. Stennis’ Maintenance and Material
Management (3M) officer Lt. Joshua William Bunte. “Cmdr. Burgess came up with the idea, but we both ran with it,” Bunte said. “We reached out to Kitsap County and said we were interested in doing [the] Adopt-A-Highway program.” After more than an hour of cleaning the roadside, the group of Sailors gathered around the newly-planted signpost commemorating Erik and declaring John C. Stennis’ Mustang Association as the keepers of the roadway. “Erik loved being a [limited duty officer] (LDO),” Seymour said. “He was exuberant and full of life. He was the type of LDO that loved the Navy, helping people; mentoring and making people feel important.” The beautification was the first of the biannual AdoptA-Highway cleanups the Mustang Association is slated to hold. John C. Stennis is conducting a routine maintenance availability following a deployment to U.S. 3rd and 7th Fleet areas of responsibility.

NAVSUP GLS commander gives keynote address at NDIA “Twice a Citizen� awards By Suzanna Brugler Naval Supply Systems Command Global Logistics Support, Deputy, Office of Corporate Communications SAN DIEGO
Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Global Logistics Support (GLS) Commander Rear Adm. James McNeal gave the keynote address at the San Diego chapter of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) Gold Coast 28th “Twice a Citizen� awards at the San Diego Convention Center. The awards give recognition to Reservists and National Guard service members who, according to the organization, “are so important to the emerging global war on terror (GWOT).� It is a means for the chapter to recognize that a segment of the population is called upon to serve in unprecedented ways. “The Navy knows that when Reservist employees are pulled from their civilian employment to serve in military missions, that it does not come without cost and sacrifice to the companies who employ them,� McNeal said to an audience of nearly 1,500 attendees. “The sacrifices employers make, and have been making for some time, are not just for the good of the Reservists you employ,� Mc-
Neal said. “As a whole, your support makes our Department of Defense more effective and, ultimately, makes our nation stronger.� “Twice a Citizen� Awards started in 2002 to recognize one member of each of the five military Reserve services, as well as the two National Guard organizations, represented in the San Diego region. In 2006, the chapter decided to focus on the increased intensity of Reserve commitments overseas. The awards were refocused to select four individuals who put their civilian careers on hold and left their families to deploy in support of the GWOT, counter-narcotics and contingency operations. The Department of Defense relies on a robust and fully trained “part-time,� or Reserve component as part of its forces. The U.S. currently has about 1.3 million active-duty military and 815,000 Reserve personnel – 1,500 are in the San Diego area. Overall, Reserves make-up about 40 percent of our military personnel across all services. Currently, there are approximately 20,000 Reserve citizen warriors deployed in an active-duty status. NAVSUP GLS provides global logistics

Members of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee (HSGAC) toured spaces aboard submarine tender USS Emory S. Land (AS 39). The members are visiting facilities on the island of Guam to learn about missile defense, as well as the infrastructure and troop movements coming from Okinawa to Guam. “This ship is very unique,� national security advisor and counsel Don Bergin said. “Most of the people who look at the Navy probably aren’t aware of these kinds of facilities. It’s definitely been an educational and eye-opening experience to be able to come out here and see some of the capabilities the Navy has to keep our fleet operational, keep us strategically forward-deployed and able to deter our enemies.� Members of the HSGAC toured spaces throughout the ship including the pipe shop, sheet metal shop, primary machine shop, carpenter shop and dive locker. “I hope after their tour of the ship that they’re able to walk away with an understanding of what we bring to the fight,� Emory S. Land Commanding Officer Capt. Mark A. Prokopius said. “I’d like them to really get an idea of our capabilities in this area of responsibility and the important mission we have in supporting forward-deployed submarines and surface ships that are in the fight.� Emory S. Land is one of two forward-deployed expeditionary submarine tenders homeported in Guam, conducting maintenance on submarines and surface ships in the U.S. 5th and 7th Fleet areas of operations.

ENERGY | Incentive: $1 million prize Continued from B1 other Carderock employees and a number of other entities to make all this happen,” Newborn said. “If you look at the [organization] chart, it gets pretty expansive pretty quickly, but it’s very much a collaborative project.” Previous stages, called technology gates, in the Wave Energy Prize involved competitors designing different archetypes for WEC devices, such as point absorbers, line absorbers and terminators. The Wave Energy Prize involved building and numerically modeling the devices, and testing prototypes built to 1/50 scale. Newborn said this has narrowed down the original 68 competitors to the nine currently conducting tests on 1/20-scale prototypes in the Maneuvering and Seakeeping (MASK) Basin in preparation for the fourth and final gate. “The reason the testing has moved here at this stage is that no one has a facility this large that can generate waves of this size to get the appropriate scale for the devices,” Newborn said. “The DOE came to us because of the big tank, the big waves we can make, and the expertise we
have here. There’s a lot of money at stake here. With a vital program like this one, the data has to be as thorough and accurate as possible.” With this testing, each competing team ships its equipment to the West Bethesda facility – where Newborn, Quintero and their team spend a week helping them to unpack the shipping containers, set up a work environment, reassemble their devices, conduct spot checks to ensure instrumentation is working properly and address any issues that are found. The equipment then goes in the basin during the second week to expose the WECs to ten different wave conditions simulating different environmental conditions, and conduct tests to compute the metrics for the prize. Newborn said this dynamic is different from the testing usually done in the MASK – instead of being a ten-week test, he said, they are essentially conducting nine one-week tests. When each test is complete, data analysts from program identified partners (SNL and NREL) verify the finished data and ensure its legitimacy. “With this type of testing, the routine is that there is
no routine,” Newborn said. “What you have to do to commission a device to be ready for testing is different for every team and every device. We did a dry-run test before testing to prepare for that, and we’ve learned a lot as we go. A lot of work goes into ensuring we are providing the same level of support to all the teams.” With wave energy in its infancy, the goal of the Wave Energy Prize is to determine which archetype of device is best to move forward with. Newborn compared it to the development of wind energy, with several different formats and methods competing until today’s standard was found. One of the metrics each team is judged on is how much energy their WEC absorbs, but equally important, Newborn said, is how much it costs to get that energy. Providing value to the taxpayer is the emphasis, and he said it can be a tough balancing act for the competitors. “It’s about what it costs to get the power; not just getting renewable energy, but doing it at a cost that makes sense,” Newborn said. The $1 million prize at stake is incentivizing the pur-

suit of this efficiency, as well as attracting top talent to the competition, according to Newborn. Only U.S. entities such as corporations, small businesses and start-ups are permitted to compete, but these entities may bring in expertise via qualified foreign nationals and many do. “DOE is very happy with the kind of collaboration they got between experts who were eager to use their expertise in this field and the teams who were looking to add people with those capabilities,” Newborn said. “I think it’s worked out pretty well for them.” Carderock’s support of the Wave Energy Prize has brought unexpected but welcome benefits to the command, such as the development of the underwater optical tracking system used in the tests, Newborn said. The underwater system provides six degrees of freedom motions of rigid bodies and 3-D translations of points
on the surface of bodies. The ability to track motions for submerged or surfacepiercing bodies is a significant capability enhancement across a wide range of hydrodynamic testing performed at Carderock. “We reverse engineered the system to work underwater; it has never worked underwater anywhere before,” Newborn said. “We formed a CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement) with the company that develops the hardware. What we’ve learned about putting it underwater they can learn from, and we can learn from them as well.” The ultimate goal, as the underwater system is tuned and modified for use at Carderock, is to establish a flexible, reconfigurable motioncapture system that could track bodies in the entire MASK basin and sections of the other basins around base. The development of an emerging technology like
wave energy fulfills Carderock’s congressional charter, which states the command not only supports Navy operations and research and development, but the maritime industry as well – as stated in OPNAV Notice 5450, 23 December 1991. Newborn said the final test in this phase of the Wave Energy Prize is scheduled to end Oct. 7, and should one of the teams meet all the requirements and win the contest, it will be announced in November.

VISIT | Sailor to take
leave in Oahu, Maui Continued from B1 USS Missouri Memorial. “My visit to PACFLT has been mind-blowing,” Gray said. “Coming here was on my bucket list, so it’s been amazing to come to Pearl Harbor and get to the nittygritty history. I love everything about naval history and where we’ve come from, so getting the opportunity to go out to the USS Arizona Memorial and experience it personally gave me a better understanding of Pearl Harbor.” PACFLT Sailor of the Year, Chief Hospital Corpsman Corey Smith, accompanied Gray for the majority of her visit to PACFLT and expressed how much he enjoyed his time getting to know her. “The past couple of days have been great,” Smith said. “Just getting to interact with
Gray and seeing how we have a lot of the same issues as Sailors was pretty cool. She really connects with people right off-the-bat and is very genuine. That’s something that, no matter if you’re a Sailor or not, is going to help you be successful.” Whitman expressed the importance of New Zealand sailors interacting with U.S. Sailors and having the opportunity to network and solidifies partnerships. “I feel it’s very important to build bridges with our partners and allies,” Whitman said. “Taking care of sailors is what it’s all about, whether it’s an American Sailor or a Kiwi sailor, we are all Sailors.” After taking some leave to enjoy Oahu and Maui, Gray and her mother will travel back to New Zealand.

BLUE ANGELS DELTA RETURNS TO THE SKIES By MC2 Jenn Lebron Blue Angels Public Affairs PENSACOLA, FLA.
U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, is scheduled to perform with six jets at the Cleveland National Air Show, Sept. 3-5. The squadron completed training in August to reintegrate Opposing Solo Cmdr. Frank Weisser into the flight demonstration. Weisser previously served on the Blue Angels from 2008-2010 and performed duties as the narrator, key influencer and VIP pilot, opposing solo, and lead solo. “The transition has been a bit easier than I expected,” Weisser said.
“I haven’t flown an airshow in six years, but I am pleased as to how fast it’s come back. I am really excited to get back and ultimately the crowd will be the best judge.” The August training schedule for the Blue Angels was rigorous and is a testament to the squadron’s tradition of teamwork and dedication to the demonstration. “After a person has completed a successful Blue Angel tour, they’ve got two seasons under their belt and roughly six to seven hundred hours of flying in Blue Angels demonstrations,” Lead Solo Lt. Ryan Chamberlain said. “We are just taking a rusty bicycle, cleaning off that rust and getting him back up to speed.” “I am grateful that I can, in some
small way, do my part to further the mission of the Blue Angels,” Weisser said. “I am sad, because this is Capt. Kuss’ team; this is his position I am flying. I am thankful that I can honor his memory and his legacy here.” The mission of the Blue Angels is to showcase the pride and professionalism of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps by inspiring a culture of excellence and service to country through flight demonstrations and community outreach.

OPERATIONS CENTER | Joint venture with NAWCAD, NAS Patuxent River, C-W Management Services Continued from B1 unmanned systems and live, virtual, constructive battlespace environments. “It’s great to see this project underway because the new operations center will help us meet the requirements of future major Navy programs, reduce scheduling conflicts and provide more secure information-processing capability for
our test ranges,” NAWCAD commander Rear Adm. Shane Gahagan said. “That, in turn, supports delivering new systems to the fleet faster.” The 17,000-square foot addition to the existing ATR facilities at NAS Patuxent River will include secure, multipurpose mission test cells built to support current and future flight test programs such as the MQ-25A
Stingray, Next-Generation Jammer, Next-Generation Air Dominance platform(s), and the Unmanned Aircraft Common Control Station, along with system-of-systems interoperability efforts. “ATR is always pushing to remove constraints and provide the capabilities that naval aviation test programs need,” said Robert Vargo, ATR director. “I’m excited because this
facility will provide well into the future the capacity and capability to get the mission accomplished on time. In short, this addition allows us to support the future now.” “The NAS Patuxent River Public Works Department does a terrific job supporting construction and renovation projects that enable the success of our supported commands,” NAS Patuxent River
Commanding Officer Capt. Scott Starkey said. “From restoring our runways to constructing new facilities, we’re proud to provide the best naval aviation research, development, test and evaluation capabilities in the Navy. I look forward to seeing this facility completed and starting its work of supporting our testers and warfighters.” Construction is expected to
be complete in late 2017. NAWCAD’s Atlantic Test Ranges are fully-instrumented and integrated test ranges that provide full-service support for testing and training for naval aviation aircraft and aircraft systems throughout their service life. ATR manages more than 2,700 square miles of restricted airspace over the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.

Pacific Partnership 2016, embarked aboard hospital ship USNS Mercy (TAH 19), departed its final mission stop, Padang, Indonesia, Aug. 30. Personnel completed two weeks of humanitarian assistance disaster response collaboration and training, medical and engineering subject matter expert exchanges, cooperative health engagements and community relation events. This year marks the fifth time the mission has visited Indonesia in the past 11 years. Pacific Partnership personnel worked alongside the Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI), civilian leadership and government officials from the Padang community, improving interoperability and enhancing relationships. One of the main lines of effort was a humanitarian assistance and disaster relief field training exercise (FTX). The event involved more than 200 participants, including Pacific Partnership personnel and Indonesian agencies ranging from government leaders to the national military. According to chief of staff and lead HADR planner for Pacific Partnership 2016 Marine Lt. Col. Andrew Rice, the FTX took place in three different locations in and around Padang. Participants
worked together to coordinate and execute a disaster response plan to two simulated earthquakes and the ensuing chaos within the city. The first two phases of the exercise took place at Imam Bonjol soccer field in Padang, which represented a collection point for casualties. Phase three occurred in Bungus Port, where Indonesian coast guard, Mercy boats, and helicopters assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat (HSC) Squadron 21 made multiple water rescues. Finally, phases four and five took place at a cement factory on the outskirts of Padang, where a simulated explosion resulted in a chemical contamination situation. Rice said the highlight of the exercise was the interoperability displayed when a Mercy rescue boat transferred a simulated casualty to Indonesian ship KRI Makassar (590) landing platform dock and the Indonesian coast guard transferred a simulated casualty to Mercy. “The ultimate goal was to be a part of helping build resiliency to the effects of all hazards events,� Rice said. “That is to say, we want to see our regional partners be able to respond quickly and effectively to a natural disaster and then be able to bounce back post-disaster. Testing standard operating procedures and exercising command and control nodes in a simulated disaster allows all of us to identify gaps or shortcomings now, before we are faced
with doing it during a real event.� Pacific Partnership and TNI engineers worked together to construct a community center, evacuation road and public restroom for local Padang communities. The evacuation road is a new concrete road built to provide members of the community a safe route to evacuate if a disaster were to strike. “In the event that any disaster does happen, if they are alerted in time or if they have time to get out, this [evacuation road] is going to greatly improve the speed at which they can evacuate from the area,� mission engineer for Pacific Partnership 2016 Lt. Steve Moyer said. According to Moyer the community center will also serve as a shelter. “I would say it’s specifically a dual purpose shelter,� he said. “It was a need of the community to have a muster location that was a safety haven in the event of an incident. It will, in times of calm, double as a community hall where the community will meet together.� In addition, Pacific Partnership personnel worked side-by-side with their Indonesian counterparts during medical subject matter expert exchanges, community health outreach events, and a beach clean-up; and co-hosted Women, Peace and Security seminars and a disaster management symposium for knowledge exchange and discussion.

Each show is unique with each own original storyline, different acts, colors lighting, stage and original music that creates a different language for that show.” -Jessica Leboeuf OSA Images Cirque du Soleil’s OVO blends fantasy and reality in its show about insects.
CIRQUE DU SOLEIL’S TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO THE HAMPTON COLISEUM By Yiorgo Pantas Contributing Writer HAMPTON
The international sensation Cirque Du Soleil makes its triumphant return to the Hampton Coliseum Sept. 7 –Sept. 11 with the spectacular show OVO. The Quebec based organization has nearly 4,000 employees, including 1,300 artists from more than 50 different countries providing extremely high-quality artistic entertainment for the whole family. Since its founding in 1984, more than 160 million spectators have seen one of the many Cirque Du Soleil shows and we here in the Hampton Roads area are indeed very fortunate to see OVO, a Big Top show that has been transformed into an arena show in 2016. We spoke recently with Jessica Leboeuf, the Publicist for Cirque Du Soleil’s OVO. Yiorgo (Y): Where are you from and how did you get into this line of work? Jessica Leboeuf (JL): I am from Montreal, Canada and I have been fortunate enough to work for Cirque for 15 years. My mother was a receptionist in the Quebec office. I would go to the office to use the computer and do some research, I saw that it was a very fun environment and I was given a chance to intern and I fell in love with that very effervescent atmosphere and what the company did to put smiles on people’s faces. A job opened up and I did everything from concessions, food and beverage, merchandising, learned about the shows more, and eventually I was promoted to a publicist of a show. I have been on tour since 2004 and a publicist since 2010. I love people and I love what I do and working with these
If you go What: Cirque du Soleil’s OVO When: 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, Sept. 7-9; Sept. 10, 7:30 p.m.; Sept. 11, 1:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. Where: Hampton Coliseum, 1000 Coliseum Drive, Hampton Tickets: $37 to $153, www. hamptoncoliseum.org, ticketmaster. com, 800-745-3000 amazingly artistic open-minded people coming from all the four corners of the world making magic every day. Y: What does OVO mean? JL: It means egg in Portuguese and using the letters they created a bugs face. The V morphs into antennas and the O’s into eyes. The show is about a colony of insects. The show opens up with the insects going on about their day and then a foreigner to the colony arrives. He is a very curious character with an egg on his back. We like to think of him as a cool guy from New York arriving in a very small village. He has this very funky outfit, he’s talking, but they don’t understand him. He disturbs the peace of the colony and everybody wonders what the egg is. They steal the egg from him to find out what is inside and as he tries to find it, he falls in love with a ladybug of the colony and she with him. Now he has to convince the colony to accept him. It is easy to follow and great for the whole family. You can also see it as a story about accepting all sorts of people. Y: I am always amazed by the elaborate costumes of the show. JL: Our designer Liz Vindal is amazing. Although she did not copy nature, Ms. Vin-
dal uses recognizable lines, and in turn you can see the different families of insects: the hard working ant, the beautiful contortionist spiders, crickets, ladybugs, beetles and so many more. Y: Is the music original? It takes your breath away every time you hear it. JL: Yes each show is unique with each own original storyline, different acts, colors lighting, stage and original music that creates a different language for that show. Most times we use inventive language or sound. The whole creative team is from Brazil. In this particular show you feel like you are in Brazil. All the insects are so colorful and the music has undeniable notes of bossa nova, and samba that our composer Berna Ceppas combined beautifully . The music is really entertaining, very hyper and joyful feet clapping and at times even haunting. A really roller coaster of mood and emotions, the music for us is the language of the show so it has to speak to everyone. Y: The artists performing have to be the best of the best in their field. JL: The cast of OVO is comprised of 50 performing artists from 15 countries specializing in many acrobatic acts. One highlight of OVO is the stunning flying act in which a group of scarabs soar high above the stage, from both edges to the middle landing on a platform. Y: Any wow moments for you? JL: In my 15 years there have been so many; from traveling all over the world to seeing so many famous people, but perhaps some moments that are closer to my heart would be when some of our Cirque friends decided to get married on the stage on a non-show night. To have the wedding on the stage, and the after party as well, to see international love come together
OSA Images In Cirque du Soleil’s OVO, acrobatics are at the forefront.
was truly magical. Another time that was special for me was when I brought my nephew to see a show I had seem hundreds of times but watching him react, seeing it through the eyes of a child was amazing and so wonderful. Y: Why should people see this show? JL: It is really an easy storyline to follow, great for the whole family, for the kids. It is also about all sorts of love and accepting others, embracing their differences and bringing a positive message. The show is vibrant, colorful, and filled with funky characters that will bring joy to people of all ages. And this is exactly why people should see it. It is a show for the whole family or it can be a date night as well. For dates, times, and tickets info go to www.cirquedusoleil.com/ovo.

COMEDIAN EXTORDINARE BILL BURR COMING TO CHRYSLER HALL By Yiorgo Pantas Contributing Writer
Bill Burr, the comedian that The New York Times said “has been one of the funniest, most distinctive voices in the country for years”, is bringing his stand up act to Chrysler Hall Sept. 10. Along with having done four hourlong stand-up specials: “Why Do I Do This”, “Let It Go”, “You People Are All The Same” and “I’m Sorry You Feel That Way”, Bill is also an accomplished actor. He has played Patrick Kurby in the AMC crime drama Breaking Bad, and currently stars in the Netflix animated sitcom F is for Family as Frank Murphy as well as having appeared in other films. He is also the host of Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast. Go to www.sevenvenues.com/events/ detail/bill-burr for ticket and time info. Yiorgo (Y): Bill, where were you born and what was life like growing up as a kid and what did you do before venturing into the entertainment field? Bill Burr (BB): I was born outside of Boston and I failed at everything or was ok at it, but I wanted to be good at it. I was ok at unloading trucks, if you gave me a job I’d do it, I had a good work ethic I was smart enough to do it. I was a good worker bee and I wanted to do more then that. Also I wanted to have a fun job! What I enjoyed most at school was making my friends laugh and they making me laugh and telling it to others who were not there and they would laugh. I did not want that part of my life to end. But this was before Internet and putting up videos on you tube. To me show business was all the way out in Hollywood and being from Massachusetts I thought I had to move all the way out there. One day I was unloading trucks and a guy I was working with said he was going to take a shot of Jack Daniels and try standup comedy at open night mike down the street. So I did the same thing. Y: How did your first break occur? BB: It really has not been one thing. The first time you really kill it. The first time I sent a tape out to New York City, the guy Roger Paul who booked these outside rooms said, “You’re very funny, you have a major career ahead of you.” And I was like wait, someone from another state told me that. Lewis, at Carolines on Broadway (one of the more established, famous and recognized stand-up clubs in the U.S.) liking my tape, getting on the Opie and Anthony show, getting an HBO special, getting on Netflix, on Breaking
Bad. I did not have a meteoric rise in this business; it was one step at a time. And all the comedians that I got to talk too that gave me advise. Y: I’m a huge Don Rickles fan and your work reminds me of his. How would you define your stand up? Did you model yourself after anybody in particular? BB: I think at the beginning you model yourself after anybody that you like and then if your doing it right you hopefully, slowly become yourself on stage and unique enough that you’re not ripping anybody off. I listened to everybody: Don Rickles, Foster Brooks, Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, my dad’s generation. In the 70’s I listened to Cheech and Chong, Richard Pryor and George Carlin were probably the biggest influences. Sam Kinison Jerry Seinfeld, Joan Rivers, Lilly Tomlin, Everybody on SNL that whole team the Dana Carvey class, Denis Miller was huge, Eddie Murphy, on and on and on. Daymon Wayans the whole cast of In Living Color, all of those people. I remember one time for Father’s Day one year I got my father a Rodney Dangerfield record. He listened to it one time and that was it, so I took it and listened to it a thousand times. So I bought a gift for myself through him. Y: Tell us about your sold out world tours experiences anything fun and exciting? BB: I just did some shows in Europe. I performed in Ireland, England, Germany, Amsterdam and Belgium and a week and a half in Italy. I started in 2009, then I went back in 2011, 2013 and now. I just did a gig in Germany and I had this whole bit on Adolf Hitler. I did not know how they were going to respond to it. I figured it was too touchy a subject but their response was amazing. I couldn’t trash Hitler enough. The way I did it was I said “All the amazing contributions you guys have given to science, medicine, audio tape, you pick one wrong guy and its all out the window, and that’s all you’re going to be remembered for. No one gives you credit for the Porches, Mercedes. I looked at the audience and they were mostly my age or younger so I knew it was a safe bit to do. They loved it. Y: You sold out Madison Square Garden and you performed at Carnegie Hall, what was it like to perform there? BB: That is not something I take lightly and I thoroughly enjoyed both nights knowing for a while that, that may be the only time I get to do it. You know what’s funny, my work ethic I got from my parents, and my main concern is making sure people got their monies worth. To me performing in front of a Boston crowd and killing it is the level I wanted all my shows to be. So as much as I enjoyed those shows there is still a job to be done and you have to kill that hard. But believe me, for the first 20 years there was nobody. But I was determined not to be that comic that did not make it. That’s why I have such a high level of respect for all comedians because of the risk you take to be that comedian that does not make it. You need luck, drive and a work ethic and the ability to pick yourself up of the mat. You have to figure out how you brain works, so when it gives you negative signals you know what you have to do to get yourself out of it. You got to master your emotions in a way. There’s going to be a lot of people who will try
to take you out so you don’t want to be doing that to yourself. Y: Any wow moments? Pinch yourself that this was happening to you? BB: Working with Al Pacino, he walks up to the set, he grabs me by the forearm and says, “What’s up Bill?” and I said, what’s up Al, and I said to myself did I just say what’s up to Al Pacino? He also told me a street joke when he found out I was a comedian. Also finding out that Christopher Walken was a Patrice O’Neal fan, she had just passed away, those were amazing moments, but as far as I can’t believe I’m doing this, I got to play drums with Duff McKagan and Slash with Guns-n-Roses and Dave Kerzner with Velvet Revolver. All three of them were in Velvet Revolver and I got to do that with them minus God rest his soul, Scott Weiland, last year and I did not know they were coming on the stage. I sat down to play and they all showed up. You got to understand I use to jam with my brothers and we use to play Highway to Hell with my brother John standing on the right and my brother Phil on the left and 20 years later I’m playing the same song with Duff and Slash. I was having flashbacks to my parent’s basement, I couldn’t feel my legs for half that song, and I was freaking out! It’s the coolest thing I ever got to do! Y: What advise would you give for those that want to follow their dreams? BB: The most important thing to remember is you cannot quit. With everything else out there, quitting is the biggest thing that will take you down. No one cares if you are going to make it or not, so you are going to have to care more about yourself because its your life so don’t quit. There are always ways to go around people. There were those club owners that didn’t like me or blackballed me. My thinking was I’ll work other clubs eventually ill be so funny that this guy will want to work with me because he wants to make money. And that’s what ended up happening and by then, once you start making people money, then everybody likes you. On those late club shows when only 10 people showed up at first I would give in to their energy but then I said the heck with that I’m going to make those 10 people wish they had brought 10 other people with them to hear me, and once I switched to that, I started having fun with it. It’s that athlete mentality ok I’m down by 20 but I’m not going to loose by 21 maybe by 15. What I tell people is if you’re not going to be one of People’s Magazine 10 most beautiful people, then you have to become undeniable for anybody to ignore you anymore. Y: What will the fans expect to see and hear when they come to your show? BB: An hour and 45 min of brand new material. Y: Why should they come and see it? BB: Because I don’t want to stand in the building by myself and for selfish reasons I would like to think that I’m really good at what I do. I’ll make you laugh and give you your money’s worth.

If you have shopped for light bulbs lately, you probably noticed that there are a lot more ore choices than there used to be. That’s because the old incandescent bulb that has been around d for 135 years is giving way to newer, more energy-efficient models. Considering that light-ing accounts for 10 to 12 percent of the average household’s energy bill, switching to bulbs that use less energy makes financial sense, and it helps reduce greenhouse gases. The driving force behind the change is the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. Among other things, the act set minimum energy standards for light bulbs. By 2014, all new light bulbs had to be 27 percent more energy efficient than what was standard at the time. Bulb manufacturers are meeting the requirements in a number of ways. The old incandescent bulb was paired with halogen technology, so now the bulb produces the same amount of light using less power. The light produced by a 100-watt bulb can now be pro-duced by one using only about 72 watts. In addition, compact fluorescent (CFL) and LED bulbs cut energy use by 70 to 90 percent nt over old incandescent bulbs. Plus, they last longer than old bulbs. An incandescent bulb has about a 1,000-hour lifespan, but CFLs and LEDs can last from 10,000 to 20,000 hours. The newer bulbs cost more than the old ones, but the prices have been dropping steadily, and some ome utilities offer rebates for switching to energy-efficient bulbs. These bulbs also produce 70 0 to 90 percent less heat than the standard incandescent bulb.
ALL ABOUT THE LUMENS
What’s with Watts? Part of the confusion about new types of bulbs is the way we talk about them. Most people ople equate lighting power with watts. For example, it is common to assume that a 100-watt bulb produces duces about 40 percent more light than a 60-watt bulb. But that type of thinking misses the point. Watts tts is a measurement of how much electricity a bulb consumes, not its lighting power. Lumens is the measurement of light output. A CFL that consumes 15 watts of electricity and the LED that uses 10 wattss can produce the same amount of light – about 800 lumens – as the 60-watt incandescent bulb. Despite the energy savings, CFLs and LEDs were a little slow to catch on. One reason had to do with the way the new technologies rendered colors. They did not provide the soft glow we have come to expect from incandescent bulbs. Some required special fixtures and could not be used in the he floor lamps and chandeliers that were already in place. That has changed. Now they can be used in just about any light fixture, although some should not be used in lamps that are fully enclosed. If the bulb cannot be used in an enclosed fixture, it will be stated clearly on the bulb’s packaging. CFLs and LEDs are also now available in everything from “warm,” which is the flattering yellowish light of incandescent bulbs, to “cool,” which has a bluer tint. CFLs were on the market before LEDs, but many experts think that LEDs are the lights of the future. They can be used anywhere, including with dimmers, and they are more versatile. LED stands for light emitting diode, so besides providing lamp light to read a book, the lighting elements can be mounted in strips to produce spectacular decorative lighting effects. They can create a soft glow along the ceiling when the strips are mounted behind crown molding, or be hidden under wall cabinets to illuminate a kitchen countertop. This only consumes about one-half to one watt per foot of lighting strip, so besides looking great, it can serve as an inexpensive, low-energy night light.
Don’t Forget to Read the Label Requirements for light bulb packaging can help you navigate the changes in light bulb efficiency. For the present, manufacturers still display the bulbs wattage to help consumers get their bearings. You may see something like “Replacement for 60-watt bulb” with the “60” in large type. That will be followed by the actual wattage of the bulb. The packaging also lists the lumens, which is the important number for signifying the amount of light produced. You will also find information on estimates on the life expectancy of the bulb, where the bulb falls on the type of light it produces – “warm” to “cool” – and an estimate on the yearly energy costs. All this information will help you make an informed, eco-conscious decision when choosing light bulbs.

energy tips from askhrgreen.org Adjust the thermostat settings for peak efficiency. Install a programmable thermostat and set it to complement your family’s summer schedule. Set it a few degrees higher (such as 78 degrees) when no one is home, so your cooling system isn’t cooling an empty house. Use ceiling fans to enhance your cooling system. If you raise your thermostat by only two degrees and run your ceiling fan, you can lower cooling costs by up to 14 percent. Remember that ceiling fans cool you, not the room, so turn off the fan when you leave the room. Maximize shade. Pull the curtains and shades closed before you leave your home to keep the sun’s rays from overheating the interior of your home. If possible, move container trees and plants in front of sun-exposed windows to serve as shade. Reduce oven time. Use a microwave instead of an oven to cook whenever possible. Ovens take longer to cook food and can make your house warmer.

WWE SMACKDOWN LIVE PRESENTING BACKLASH IN RICHMOND THIS WEEKEND UFC
Ultimate Fighter Latin America Ep 2 recap By Damon Martin Special to UFC.com
The latest episode of The Ultimate Fighter Latin America not only showcased the fight first teased on last week’s offering, but a second bout was added as the competition between Team Liddell and Team Griffin continued to heat up. The opening bout this week featured Chuck Liddell’s top pick – 20-year old Peruvian prospect Claudio Puelles as he faced off with Forrest Griffin’s last selection, Jose David Flores. While Griffin’s fight pick from a week ago didn’t necessarily pit his top fighter against Liddell’s weakest link, it’s clear the former light heavyweight champion and UFC Hall of Famer wants to take out the lowest rated fighters from his opponent’s team to ensure his guys have an easier path to the second round. Flores was certainly confident heading into the matchup, regardless of his standing in the team selections, but Puelles just wasn’t convinced that the Team Griffin fighter was really there to win as much as he was there to put on a show. “I think he likes partying, women, he doesn’t crave this as much as I do. I want this, I want to win,” Puelles said about Flores before the fight began. In the final hours before Puelles and Flores faced off, Octagon Girl Jhenny Andrade made an unexpected stop by the house to visit with the fighters and give them a muchneeded break after several days of seclusion after the show first started. Andrade came by to make food and drinks for the guys as she got to know some of them and Flores paid special attention to the Octagon Girl, even showing her a few of his dance moves before the evening was over. It’s a good thing Flores got to move his feet with Andrade because he didn’t get to do much of anything in his fight with Puelles, who dominated this bout from start to finish. As soon as the two fighters engaged in the Octagon, Puelles was shooting for a takedown to put Flores down on the mat and into his world of ground and pound and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. To his credit, Flores did a good job to continuously work his way back up to the feet, but each time he managed to do so, Puelles immediately planted him back down on the ground. Puelles continued to pour on the punishment with elbows and punches from the top while Flores could only play defense and hope to survive. Flores did manage to get back up one final time, but Puelles wasted no time taking him down again, and this time there was no getting up. Puelles quickly transitioned to the mount before taking Flores’ back, and rather than looking for the choke, he just flattened out his opponent and started blasting away with shots until the referee had no other choice than to stop the bout. Puelles punches his ticket into the quarterfinals with an incredibly impressive performance to dispatch Flores via first round TKO.
“Claudio was our first pick. We think he’s got a great shot of winning this thing,” Liddell said With Liddell’s fighter victorious, Griffin was up to make the next fight selection and he went with Walter Zamora against John Bedoya. According to Griffin, this was the fight that Zamora requested and he’s going to allow his fighters to pick the matchups they want when it comes time for them to compete and this is exactly what his athlete asked for. There’s no wasting time after the matchup is made, as Zamora and Bedoya are standing across from each other in the Octagon, ready to battle it out for a slot in the next round of the tournament. In the early going, Bedoya looked confident on his feet as he cracked away at Zamora with some solid leg kicks, but it was clear after a few exchanges that both fighters were being rather timid when it came to trading strikes on the feet. Bedoya had a reach advantage, but he just kept coming up short with his punches and Zamora wasn’t on target much better when he tried to put together combinations. Finally, with about two minutes to go in the first round, Zamora found an opening to plant Bedoya on the ground with a big takedown and he secured the position until the horn sounded, which likely gave him the nod on the judges’ scorecards. The second round saw much of the same from Zamora, as he was able to take Bedoya down to the ground and nearly take his back in the early going. To his credit, Bedoya did manage to work back to his feet and it looked like he might land a standing guillotine choke, but he couldn’t secure the hold and Zamora slipped free. From there, it was all Zamora looking for the takedown while Bedoya could only attempt to defend. Even in the closing moments, as the coaches were both screaming to get their fighter’s attention, Zamora was looking to get the fight to the ground while Bedoya was going for an illfated kimura attempt that failed just as the horn sounded to signify the end. After two rounds, Zamora was declared the winner by decision as he marks the second win for Team Griffin in the competition. With Zamora’s victory, the next fight was left to Liddell, who decided to go with Ilianovich Chalo against Miguel Villegas. As soon as the fighters were announced, Villegas came charging forward and put his head directly against Chalo’s and it didn’t take long for the simmering staredown to explode. Pushing and shoving ensued, and it forced Griffin to step in between them and Liddell actually ended up shoving Villegas out of the way as he continued to go after Chalo following the face off. Liddell was clearly not happy with Villegas’ actions while Chalo simply laughed off the poor attempt to intimidate him before the fight began. Either way, these two are going to throw down in the next matchup as The Ultimate Fighter Latin America gets halfway through the opening round on the next episode, which debuts every Wednesday on UFC FIGHT PASS.
Jonathan McLarty WWE World Champion Dean Ambrose.
By Jonathan McLarty Contributing Writer
There has been a shakeup within World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in recent months, all revolving around the WWE draft. Superstars are now split between two distinctive brands: Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live. In charge of Monday Night Raw are Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and General Manager Mick Foley, while Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan control SmackDown Live. SmackDown now airs on Tuesday nights at 8 PM on the USA Network and is a live broadcast; a change in format where the show was previously taped two to three days in advance of it being broadcasted. In addition to the two hours of SmackDown that airs, a companion show airs on the WWE Network immediately following the USA Network broadcast titled “Talking Smack.” Daniel Bryan and Renee Young conduct candid interviews about the events that transpired earlier in the evening. Think of it like a “Talking Dead” or “After the Thrones” kind of show. Each show has their own set of champions since competitors do not mingle between shows. On Monday Night Raw, they have the Universal, Women’s, United States, and Tag Team Championships. On SmackDown Live, the brand has the WWE World, Women’s, Intercontinental, and Tag Team Championships. Each brand also has their own brand-specific pay-per-view events, bringing the total events up to 15 in 2016. Only a select few events per year, including Survivor Series and WrestleMania, will feature matches from both brands. For Monday Night Raw, a Universal Championship was created due to Dean Ambrose taking the WWE World Championship when drafted to SmackDown Live. The first Universal Champion was determined at SummerSlam when Finn Balor defeated Seth Rollins. Despite being the victor, Balor would have to relinquish the title the next night on Monday Night Raw due to suffering a shoulder injury. The next week, a four-way elimination match took place between Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, Big Cass, and Seth Rollins to crown the next champion. Triple H returned, appearing for the first time since WrestleMania, costing Seth Rollins the title. Kevin Owens is now the second Universal Champion. Monday Night Raw’s first brand-specific pay-per-view event will be Clash of Champions on September 25. SmackDown Live’s first pay-per-view event, titled Backlash, will be taking place in Richmond on Sept. 11. In the main event, current WWE World Champion Dean Ambrose will be defending his championship against “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles. Also, a tag team tournament is currently taking place where the final two teams will compete at Backlash to crown the first ever SmackDown Live Tag Team Champions. Additionally, the first ever SmackDown Live Women’s Champion will be decided at Backlash in a Six-Pack Challenge. Competing for the Women’s Championship will be Natalya, Naomi, Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella, Carmella, and Alexa Bliss. Also in action will be Randy Orton taking on Bray Wyatt, and The Miz will be defending his Intercontinental Championship against Dolph Ziggler. Looking ahead, WWE NXT will be making their Norfolk debut at the Ted Constant Convocation Center on October 6. Advertised for the event are NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, NXT Women’s Champion Asuka, NXT Tag Team Champions The Revival, and Bobby Roode.
