hemical, Biological and Radiological (CBR) technicians from Gryphon Technologies LLC began fit tests for Sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) July 21.

During the next several weeks, technicians will size each TR Sailors for CBR suits, rubber gloves, boot covers and MCU-2P gas masks. Sailors wear the MCU2P in a specialized plastic tent to detect proper seal.

Once technicians collect the necessary measurements, the process of building the CBR kits will begin. Once completed, the kits will be available to every Sailor in the event of a chemical, biological or radiological attack.

“It’s important to have the proper size gear,” said Damage Controlman 1st Class Patrick Brown from Engineering department. “The wrong size gear could give you an improper seal and fail to protect you.”

According to GlobalSecurity.org, in 1993 the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command, along with all other armed services, signed a memorandum of agreement establishing the Joint Service Lightweight Integrated Suits Technology (JSLIST) Program. The program authorized the development and testing of a single CBR suit for use by all military personnel in the case of a CBR attack.

As part of future training and pre-deployment certification, TR will perform mission oriented protective posture (MOPP) drills, where Sailors will become familiar with various levels of required protective gear.

“The whole ship will be outfitted with the suits and given training on how to wear them,” said Brown.

“Every Sailor will be at least familiar, if not comfortable, in their ability to wear the suits, if needed.”

CBR fitting is a requirement all Sailors must undergo prior to deployment. Those Sailors on leave or unable to attend the fit test at their designated time will report at a later date for fit testing.

n any given day aboard U.S. Navy vessels, ringing bells echo over a ship’s public address system to keep time, raise the alarm and alert the crew to various information.

August 2, however, was no ordinary day aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). Skies were gray and the forecast called for rain, but in spite of the gloom, it turned out to be all sunshine for Cmdr. Peter G. Rybski, TR’s assistant reactor officer, and his son Kenneth Peter Xavier Rybski.

In a time-honored tradition, Lt. Eduardo Amora, TR’s Roman Catholic chaplain, baptized one-year-old Kenneth, in TR’s ship’s bell.

“Baptism is a sacrament and tradition of initiating someone into the faith,” said Amora. “It is a huge opportunity for anyone and especially me, as a new chaplain here, to be a part of that.”

The ceremony consisted of prayer, anointing the child by crossing his forehead with oil and of course,

wetting the child’s head over the water-filled brass bell.

Rybski knew for quite some time that having his little boy baptized in the ship’s bell was something he wanted to do.

“The Catholic Church and the Navy are such a big part of my life and full of tradition that I thought I’d combine the two” said Rybski. “I didn’t have the opportunity to do this with my first two children.”

Countless names engraved inside the bell keep record of those baptized aboard TR, and baby Kenneth’s name will join the list.

“The child’s name will soon be engraved in the bell,” said Amora. “It is a huge Navy tradition,as well as a memorable time for TR and the Rybski family. I am happy to be a part of that history.”

Kenneth’s baptism will be forever etched into TR’s history, and the history of the bell. Despite the rain it turned out to be a bright day for all involved.

n the wake of smiling faces and bouts of laughter, the crew of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) came together for the command’s summer picnic at the Naval Air Station Oceana Dam Neck Annex Aug. 1.

Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR ) organized the event intended for TR Sailors, family and friends to unwind and build camaraderie.

“We had fun planning it and I hope that everyone that was able to come out and be a part of it enjoyed it,” said Megan Villapudua, TR’s fun boss. “I hope that it was a good way to unwind after a lot of work. “ Sailors and their families participated in many games and events at the picnic. Children lined up to have their faces painted, play carnival games, eat cotton candy and ride ponies.. Music filled the air, as gray skies and drizzling rain did not seem to stop families from enjoying basketball, rock-wall climbing and bean-bag toss.

Villapudua coordinated with other MWR’s to provide catering service, a DJ and set up of all the bounce houses.

“We work with the MWR for Dam Neck and Oceana and they did everything for us,” said Villapudua. “The only difficulty is trying to figure out how many people are going to show up and hoping the best for weather.”

Villapudua was happy to see a lot of people in attendance and enjoying themselves.

“I like anything where everyone is all here together. Where people seem to be enjoying it and their families seem to be enjoying it,” said Villapudua. “Getting people out together, they’re smiling and laughing, that’s my favorite part.”’

For Aviation Electronics Technician 1st Class Randall Thompson, the event was a good break and an opportunity for him to introduce his family to his shipmates.

“I think it was extremely beneficial for morale,” said Thompson.

“I was able to introduce my wife and kids to the guys that I work with and that was awesome.”

In addition to the festivities, Capt. Daniel C. Grieco, TR’s commanding officer, advanced 29 Sailors to the next paygrade during a command advancement program (CAP) ceremony. CAP allows the commanding officer to advance personnel ranging from E-3 to E-5 to the next pay grade if the Sailor is eligible for advancement and passed their last exam.

Grieco also promoted Capt. Jeff Craig, TR’s executive officer, during the ceremony.

The command picnic ended full of smiles, high fives and painted faces –a perfect way for Sailors and their families to start their weekend of liberty.

ommanding Officer of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) Capt. Daniel Grieco surprised 29 Sailors from TR with a promotion to the next pay grade through the command advancement program (CAP) during a command picnic Aug. 1st at the Naval Air Station Oceana Dam Neck Annex.

The CAP program allows the commanding officer to advance personnel E-3 to E-5 to the next pay grade if the Sailor is eligible for advancement and passed their last exam.

“There are a lot of great things I get to do as the CO of the ship and this is one of those days,” said Grieco. “To be able to say, let’s take some time off and have some fun. The other thing is to recognize some folks for their achievements and their efforts and to be able to give them a step up.”

TR gained two first class petty officers, five second class petty officers and 22 third class petty officers.

Advancement came as a shock to Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Christopher Lockhart, who struggled to promote in a rate with low advancement numbers for first class petty officers.

“I was very, very surprised,” said Lockhart. “I didn’t know how to take it. When they called my name it was surreal. It felt like tunnel vision. Everything zoomed in and I thought, ‘Wow. They just called me’, so I had to stand up for a second.”

Departmental leading chief petty officers nominate individuals for advancement based on their performance.

“It makes me feel like someone sees that I’m a hard worker,” said Aviation Machinist Mate 3rd Class Bruce Manly. “It makes me feel like my peers respect me more to make them put a CAP package in for me. All that hard work that I did actually means more to me now.”

Through hard work and determination these Sailors now have the opportunity to work at the next paygrade. Eligible Sailors aboard TR have the opportunity to promote after taking the next Navywide advancement exam in September.

JUICE

Juicing has taken the health world by storm, and millions of people are now gulping down pounds of produce by the glassful.

Stop the presses! Juicing is not just a trendy diet. In the shadow of cleansing and fasting fads, juicing has become synonymous with a short-term, all-or-nothing attempt at quick weight loss or detoxing.

On the contrary, juicing the healthy way is about consuming fresh fruits and vegetables in a different way. Juicing is an easy way to shower your body with concentrated amounts of nutrient packed vegetables and fruits - hellooo vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Plus these drinks are naturally low in ingredients you want to avoid, such as added sugars and salts.

The latest dietary guidelines suggest six to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Only about a third of Americans get the required amount. A well-balanced fresh-pressed juice starts with being sure not to overdo it with fruit at expense of vegetables. Too much added fruit can add more calories and carbs than a whole meal. Balance your fruit juice with a vegetable boost by adding beet greens, celery, spinach or broccoli. As you experiment with juicing, you might also like a complete green juice with a little fruit.

With the right juicer, the healthy fiber that your apple or pear was once made of will end up in the pulp collector. Beyond finding ways to use the pulp, make it a point to get an adequate amount of fiber when you start juicing. Follow your juice with a handful of nuts, avocado or some dry cereal.

You can add the leftover pulp from your juicer to mashed potatoes, pasta dishes or fruit salads. Be sure to keep certain fruits or vegetables separate so that you don’t sacrifice taste.

Apple, carrot and orange pulp works well together. Beet and carrot pulp may combine well with cream cheese that you can spread on a whole-grain bagel. Simpler ways to use pulp include adding it to soups and stews, as well as cereals, bread and muffins.

While a glass of juiced fruit and vegetables can be satisfying, it is not a complete meal because it lacks protein. Adding protein powder, milk or yogurt is a common way of adding protein to your juice. You can also make it a meal by adding two hard-boiled eggs, a slice of cheese with bread, or a serving of beans or meat on the side. If you don’t add protein when you juice, don’t fret, just be sure you get enough throughout the day. If you’re like most Americans, you’re in no danger of not getting enough protein.

If you haven’t seen Crazy, Stupid Love,

starring Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell I highly recommend watching it. If you have seen it though, then you know exactly what I am talking about when I say that Ryan Gosling was super yoked in that movie.

If you want to get the Gosling Body, here is the workout regimen you need to follow.

Days 1, 3 & 5: Back & Abs • Incline Bench Press: 4 sets of 8 reps • Pull-ups: 4 sets of 8 reps • Weighted Wide-Grip Dips: 3 of 10 reps • Cable Rows: 3 sets of 10 reps • Hanging Leg Raises: 3 sets to failure • Planks: 5 minutes • 30 seconds on bike (all out) rest for 90 seconds. Repeat for 16 minutes.

Days 2, 4 & 6: Shoulders, Arms & Intervals

On the seventh day you rest!

There’s a common myth out there that you should refrain from eating before a workout. The truth, however, is that your body needs fuel to provide energy for your workout. Juicing and blending the right foods can be a quick and easy way to get the right energyboosting fuel that your body needs for an effective workout. Foods with complex carbohydrates provide some of the best energyproducing fuel. They supply glucose to your muscles and are able to convert glucose into energy slowly. This gives your muscles a consistent energy supply throughout your workout, according to Livestrong.com.

WORKOUT OF THE WEEK

When walking through the mess decks in the morning it is really appetizing to grab a sweet, sweet bowl of sugary, sweet cereal. But, ask yourself, “Does my body really need all of this sugar I’m about to intake?” I’ll answer that for you, NO. You might not look forward to it, but you should grab a bowl of bran cereal.

Let’s define bran. Bran is simply the outer layer of any kernel of grain, where most of the fiber and nutrients reside. Bran is excellent at fighting fat, and the fiber helps fill you up by absorbing water and expanding. Complete your fat-fighting breakfast by mixing in some fruit and having a glass of orange juice on the side.

Missouri Orders Curfew to Quell Looting AS AID DOCTORS GO, EBOLA FIGHT GROWS HARDER in AFRICA

FERGUSON, Mo. — Gov. Jay Nixon of Missouri on Saturday imposed a midnight to 5 a.m. curfew in this small city, declaring a state of emergency after violence flared anew after a week of street protests over the killing of an unarmed black teenager by a white police officer.

“This is not to silence the people of Ferguson, but to address those who are drowning out the voice of the people with their actions,” Nixon, a Democrat, told reporters and residents at a Ferguson church. “We will not allow a handful of looters to endanger the rest of this community. If we’re going to achieve justice, we must first have and maintain peace.”

He added: “This is a test. The eyes of the world are watching.”

Capt. Ronald S. Johnson, the state Highway Patrol commander whose officers have overseen security in Ferguson since Thursday, said the curfew would begin Saturday night. He did not say how long it would be in force or whether violators would be arrested.

The announcement prompted cries of protest and anguish from

some members of the public who attended the news conference, with many of them arguing that a curfew would lead only to new and fierce confrontations. Some people begged to be able to go into the streets to try to calm any violence. But Johnson said the curfew would be enforced.

“We won’t enforce it with trucks, we won’t enforce it with tear gas, we will enforce it with commuGov. Jay nication,” JohnNixon son said. “We will be telling people, ‘It’s time to go home.’ ” Nixon announced his decision at the Greater St. Mark Family Church, near the site of the unrest.

The news conference quickly became frenzied, with the governor and Johnson confronting a volley of aggressive questions, most of them from residents. It came a week after the death of Michael Brown, 18, who was shot by Officer Darren Wilson. The police said

Brown had been stopped for walking down the middle of the street and a scuffle had ensued, ending in gunfire; other eyewitnesses have disputed that account.

Nixon described the looting and violence as the work of an isolated few, but emphasized that a curfew was necessary to restore order in a community where residents have complained that basic services, like summoning an ambulance through a 911 call, have been disrupted by the protests.

“Small groups took to the streets with the intent of committing crimes and endangering citizens,” Nixon said after he praised “the courage and resolve of peaceful protesters.”

The action came under attack from those whom Nixon credited with helping the police. “Right now, I want to make sure that my people don’t get hurt tonight,” said Malik Shabazz of Black Lawyers for Justice. He said his group would bring a lawsuit challenging the treatment of residents by the police in the initial days of turmoil.

Deep Tensions Rise to the Surface After Shooting FERGUSON, Mo. — Garland Moore, a hospital worker, lived in this St. Louis suburb for much of his 33 years, a period in which a largely white community has become a largely black one.

He attended its schools and is raising his family amid suburban homes and apartment buildings on the outskirts of a struggling Midwest city. And over time, he has felt his life to be circumscribed

by Ferguson’s demographics.

Moore, who is black, talks of how he has felt the wrath of the police here and in surrounding suburbs for years — roughed up during a minor traffic stop and prevented from entering a park when he was wearing St. Louis Cardinals red.

Last week, as he stood at a vigil for an unarmed 18-year-old shot dead by the police — a shooting that led to more street violence and looting early Saturday — Moore listened to a shout of: “We’re tired of the racist police department.”

“It broke the camel’s back,” Moore said of the killing of the teenager, Michael Brown. Referring to the northern part of St. Louis County, he continued, “The people in North County — not just African-Americans, some of the white people, too — they are tired of the police harassment.”

The origins of the area’s complex social and racial history date to the 19th century when the city of St. Louis and St. Louis County went their own ways, leading to the formation of dozens of smaller communities. Missouri has always been a state with roots in the Midwest and the South, and racial issues grew in the 20th century.

As African-Americans moved into the city and whites moved out, real estate agents and city leaders conspired to keep blacks out of the suburbs through the use of zoning ordinances and restrictive covenants. But by the 1970s, some of those barriers had started to fall,

and whites moved even farther away from the city.

Today, Ferguson is like many of the suburbs, inner-ring towns that accommodated white flight decades ago but that are now largely black. And yet they retain a white power base. Although two in three Ferguson residents are black, its mayor and five of its six City Council members are white. Only three of the 53 police officers are black.

The shooting has brought submerged tensions to the surface.

“St. Louis never has had its true race moment, where they had to confront this,” said Patricia Bynes, a black woman who is the Democratic committeewoman for the Ferguson area. Without that moment, she said, blacks have been complacent when it comes to local politics. “I’m hoping that this is what it takes to get the pendulum to swing the other way.”

When people started dying of Ebola in Liberia, Clarine Vaughn faced a wrenching choice: Should she send home, for their own health and safety, four American doctors working for Heartt, the aid group she coordinated there? Or should she keep them in the country without proper supplies or training to fight the virulent, contagious disease, which was already spreading panic?

After much agonizing, Vaughn pulled the doctors out and canceled plans to bring in more. The African physicians and nurses left behind told her they felt abandoned. They said, “We need you guys here,” she recalled. Since then, she has wondered if the doctors might have made a difference, and she asked the group AmeriCares to help. It sent a planeload of supplies to Monrovia, the Liberian capital, last Sunday.

The departure of Western development workers from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, the West African countries hit hardest by Ebola, has further weakened the region’s decrepit, understaffed public health systems in the midst of one of the gravest public health crises ever.

“The locals’ seeing this mass exodus of expatriates has contributed to the sense that there’s an apocalypse happening and they’re in it on their own,” said Raphael Frankfurter, executive director of the Wellbody Alliance, which provides clinical services in Sierra Leone, bordering Guinea, where the outbreak began.

Many African health workers battling Ebola are contracting it themselves. At least 170 workers have gotten the disease, according to the World Health Organization, and more than 80 have died.

Still, fear is complicating the increase in aid that is needed: food for people in areas that have been cordoned off; lab supplies; gloves, face masks and gowns to protect health workers; body bags; and bedsheets.

“There is fear, there is a front line, the epidemic is advancing, and there is a collapse of infrastructure,” said Dr. Joanne Liu, the president of Doctors Without Borders. SHERI FINK

In Brief Huge Crowds Watch Pope Beatify Koreans In a symbolic moment for the Vatican and South Korea’s 5.1 million Catholics, hundreds of thousands of people cheered as Pope Francis rode through central Seoul on Saturday to lead a Mass to beatify 124 martyrs in front of the palace of the old Korean dynasty that killed them over a century ago. Since his arrival Thursday, the pope has generated front-page news.

But not everyone has welcomed him. Protestant groups, who fear Catholic encroachment in a country where Christians make up 29 percent of the population, have expressed unease. “The enemy king has appeared at the center of our nation!” the Rev. Song Choon-gil, a Presbyterian pastor, shouted at a rally of hundreds of Protestants a few blocks from the papal Mass on Saturday. (NYT)

Floods and Landslides Kill Dozens in Nepal More than 50 people died and scores are missing after three days of continuous monsoon rains set off multiple floods and landslides in Nepal’s low-lying plain near the Indian border, officials said Saturday. “Our preliminary data shows at least 53 people have died so far, 36 were seriously injured while 75 are still missing,” said Laxmi Prasad Dhakal, a spokesman for the Home Affairs Ministry. Rescuers have reached thousands of stranded people, many of them stuck on the roofs of their homes, officials said.

35 Found in Container Thirty-five people were found in a shipping container that was being unloaded at a dock east of London on Saturday morning, including a man who was pronounced dead at the scene, law enforcement officials in London said. The survivors, including several children, were taken to hospitals where they were mainly being treated for hypothermia and dehydration. Officials said the members of the group appeared to be Indian, but they could not confirm their nationalities. The container had been on a commercial ferry that arrived from Zeebrugge, Belgium.

Brokers in Israel Lure Desperate Kidney Patients RAMAT GAN, Israel — Aside from the six-figure price tag, what was striking was how easy it was for Ophira Dorin to buy a kidney.

Two years ago, as she faced the dispiriting prospect of spending years on dialysis, Dorin set out to find an organ broker who could help her bypass Israel’s lengthy transplant wait list. Only 36, she had a promising job at a software company and dreams of building a family. To a woman who raced cars for kicks, it seemed unthinkable that her best days might be tethered to a machine.

For five years, Dorin had managed her kidney disease, but it had gradually overrun her resistance.

Unable to find a matching donor among family and friends, she faced a daily battle against nausea, exhaustion and depression.

A broker who trades in organs might seem difficult to find. But Dorin’s mother began making inquiries at the hospital where she worked, and came up with three names: Avigad Sandler, a former insurance agent suspected of trafficking; Boris Volfman, a Ukrainian émigré; and Yaacov Dayan, a wily businessman with interests in real estate and marketing.

The men were, The New York Times learned during an investigation of the global organ trade, among the central operators in Israel’s irrepressible underground kidney market. For years, they have pocketed enormous sums for arranging overseas transplants for patients who are paired with foreign donors, court filings and government documents show.

The brokers maintain they op-

Ophira Dorin paid $175,000 for a transplant in Costa Rica. erate legally and do not directly help clients buy organs. Dodging international condemnation and tightening enforcement, they have shifted operations across the globe when any one destination closes.

The supply of transplantable organs is estimated by the World Health Organization to meet no more than a tenth of the need. Although there is no reliable data, experts say thousands of patients most likely receive illicit transplants abroad each year. Almost always, the sellers are poor and ill informed about the medical risks.

The vast marketplace includes the United States, but a Times analysis of major trafficking cases since 2000 suggests that Israelis have played a disproportionate role. That is in part because of religious strictures regarding death and desecration that have kept donation rates so low that some

patients feel they must turn elsewhere. “When someone needs an organ transplant, they’ll do everything in their power,” said Meir Broder, a top legal adviser to Israel’s Ministry of Health.

That desperation was evident in the workings of the transplant tourism pipeline that delivered Dorin and other foreign patients to Costa Rica from 2009 to 2012. Through more than 100 interviews and reviews of scores of documents, The Times traced the network from the barrios of San José, Costa Rica’s gritty capital, to the glass towers of Ramat Gan, a bustling commercial district near Tel Aviv.

Costa Rica is not sure how many foreigners received suspicious transplants. But The Times identified 11 patients — six Israelis, three Greeks and two Americans — who traveled there for transplants.

In interviews and documents, four Israeli patients or sources close to them identified Dayan, known as Koby, as their conduit to Costa Rica. Dayan explained that a transplant in Costa Rica would cost $175,000, Dorin said. He was careful not to specify that the package would include a kidney. “But it was understood,” she recalled.

Dorin said she had doubts about Dayan’s assurances that everything was legal, but did not feel she had much choice. “My situation was critical,” she said. “I didn’t feel very good, and my condition was getting worse. Even if I knew it was illegal, I don’t think I would have done anything different. It’s important to understand that these people, although greedy, do save lives.”

In China’s Shadow, U.S. Courts Its Old Foe Vietnam HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam — The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, courted Vietnam over the past several days. He was the first chairman in more than 40 years to visit the old enemy of Washington, now envisioned as a new partner that will acquire American weapons and help offset the power of China.

Dempsey, who graduated from West Point as the Vietnam War was winding down, never served here, but his visit capped a vibrant effort by the United States and Vietnam to reconnect. A longstanding embargo on lethal weapons sales by the United States was likely to be eased, he said, and

Washington would then begin discussions on what equipment Vietnam would buy, most likely in the field of maritime surveillance.

Vietnam has suddenly become more important to Washington as the United States and China are increasingly at loggerheads. Vietnam is key because of its strategic position bordering China, its large population of nearly 100 million and its long coastline on the South China Sea, one of the world’s most vital trading routes.

“We do think we should have a steady improvement in our relationship with the Vietnamese military,” Dempsey told a group of reporters here Saturday. “I would

suggest as goes Vietnam in managing its maritime resources and territorial disputes, so goes the South China Sea.” During his visit, Dempsey met in Hanoi with Vietnam’s most senior officer, Gen. Do Ba Ty, who last year was in Washington.

While moving closer to Washington, Vietnam, which is ruled by a Communist Party that still values its fraternal relations with Beijing, has indicated it is not about to ditch its powerful northern neighbor.

“I didn’t come here to focus on China,” Dempsey said. “But I recognize inevitably the shadow of China hangs over these conversations.”

Perry Calls Abuse of Power Charges a ‘Farce’ AUSTIN, Tex. — A defiant Gov. Rick Perry vowed on Saturday to fight his indictment for abuse of power, calling it a “farce” and a “political” prosecution.

In his first appearance since a grand jury indicted him on two felony counts on Friday for trying to pressure the district attorney here, a Democrat, to step down by threatening to veto state funding for her office, Perry said, “I wholeheartedly and unequivocally stand behind my veto.” He added, “We don’t settle political differences with indictments in this country.”

Saying he would stay in office until the end of his term in January, Perry said he would fight the charges and was “confident” he would prevail.

The governor, a Republican, was accused of abusing his power last year when he threatened to veto state financing to Austin’s top prosecutor — Rosemary Lehmberg, the Travis County district attorney — in a bid to get her to resign after her arrest for drunken driving. The

grand jurors charged Perry with abusing his official capacity and coercing a public servant.

The indictment on Friday marked a change in fortunes for a man who has been an unrivaled power in Texas.

Throughout his nearly 14 years as governor of Texas, Perry has filled every position on every board and commission in Rick Perry the state. But on Friday, Perry’s attempt to control one of the few things of substance in the state that was out of his reach led to two felony charges that threaten to tarnish his legacy and derail his hopes for a second presidential run.

It was a stunning rebuke to Perry. But it also set in motion a battle of competing narratives over just what kind of overreach the indictment reflects. Democrats say the charges describe the arrogant

overreach of a governor with unchecked power. Republicans took up Perry’s argument on Saturday that the excess was in the investigation and indictment, which they describe as political in nature and extremely dubious in legality.

His critics have seized on his criminal indictment with a new vigor, saying it was a sign that he had been blinded by his own power. Democrats have called for Perry to step down. “It’s a reminder that there ain’t no cowboy that can’t be thrown,” said John Whitmire, a Houston Democrat who is the Texas Senate’s longest-serving current member.

Republicans defended Perry’s actions as lawful. “The Democrats in this state haven’t been able to defeat Rick Perry at the ballot box,” said Ted Delisi, a Republican strategist in Austin. “They’re going to try to defeat him at the courthouse. I don’t think they’re going to be successful either way.”

After Delay, Incumbent Wins Hawaii Senate Primary PUNA, Hawaii — After nearly two years of campaigning, millions of dollars spent and one tropical storm that delayed voting in this easternmost corner of Hawaii for nearly a week, Sen. Brian Schatz won the Democratic nomination for his seat on Friday, bringing one of the longest and most acrimonious primary contests in the state’s history to an apparent end.

Schatz secured the victory over his challenger, Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, by fewer than 1,800 votes — less than 1 percent of the total cast — after two precincts here on the east coast of the Big Island held a delayed vote Friday.

Their polling places had been

closed during the Aug. 9 primary election because of damage from Tropical Storm Iselle.

With Schatz leading by just 1,600 votes after last weekend, voters in this rural province, long ignored by the political establishment in Honolulu, had a chance to swing the Senate race.

The final tally announced Friday night included about 3,000 votes in this district, some of which had been cast by mail before the storm, plus 800 from Maui that had not been previously counted.

Schatz will face Cam Cavasso, a Republican, in the November election. No Republican has won a Senate race in Hawaii since 1970.

“We worked really hard, and our message came through,” Schatz said of his campaign. “We’re really gratified that Puna came through.”

IAN LOVETT n NEW MONTANA CANDIDATE Montana’s Democrats, scrambling to salvage their political fortunes after plagiarism charges forced Sen. John Walsh to end his election bid, chose a high school math teacher and one-term state legislator on Saturday as their nominee for a fiercely contested U.S. Senate seat.

Couple Intended to Abuse 2 Amish Sisters, Sheriff Says The couple charged with kidnapping two young Amish sisters from their farm in upstate New York intended to abuse them, the authorities said on Saturday.

Nicole Vaisey, 25, and Stephen Howells II, 39, were arrested on Friday and charged with two counts each of first-degree kidnapping. According to a criminal complaint, there was “intent to inflict physical injury” or to violate or abuse the girls sexually.

In a news conference on Saturday, Kevin M. Wells, the St. Lawrence County sheriff, portrayed the kidnapping as an opportunistic crime that emerged out of a longer-standing plan to abuse children.

The couple did not previously know the sisters, Delila Miller, 7, and Fannie Miller, 12, Wells said, nor did they approach them because they were Amish.

It was the sight of two children

alone at a roadside vegetable stand that drew the couple’s attention, Wells said.

“They were looking for opportunities to victimize,” he said, adding, “A lot of thought process went into this.”

When asked whether the couple had hurt the children, Wells said only that “the girls have been victims of crimes.”

Lassie Is Coming Home, as Salesdog LOS ANGELES — Maybe it was the three publicists in tow. Maybe her hairdo was wilting under the hot television lights. Maybe a dog, even a showbiz one, was just not meant to be a meteorologist.

Booked to help give the weather report at KTTV, the Fox affiliate here, she woofed off cue and let loose a torrent of drool. “I’m not sure,” a Fox anchor said, “but I think Lassie is annoyed.”

No matter. The publicists decided the appearance had helped Lassie inch closer to a comeback.

How does Hollywood teach an old dog new tricks? Pay attention, Toto, because DreamWorks Animation, which gained control of the faded Lassie brand in 2012, has unleashed the comeback campaign to end all comeback campaigns.

DreamWorks Animation decided that the best hope for making money from Lassie was to make her a merchandising star.

And so Lassie’s calendar this summer has been filled with coastto-coast appearances. Vanity Fair recently agreed to do a story about Lassie’s beauty regimen. The collie’s new publicists brought her to People magazine to make a video.

“Unlike everyone else in Hollywood, Lassie is much bigger in person,” Ryan Seacrest told listeners when she visited his radio show.

DreamWorks commissioned market research, which to its delight found that Lassie retained an 83 percent “brand awareness” among Americans; words like “loyal,” “hero” and “heartwarming” were most often associated with the character.

“Our ambitions are global,” said Michael R. Francis, DreamWorks Animation’s chief brand officer, “dog food, dog accessories, dog grooming, dog beds, dog training.”

In Sharing Economy, It’s Check App, Accept Job, Repeat Just after 4 a.m. on a recent Friday, Jennifer Guidry was in the driveway of her rental apartment in suburban Boston vacuuming the inside of her car.

The early-bird routine is a strategy that Guidry, a Navy veteran and former accountant, uses to mitigate the uncertainty of working in the sharing economy.

Guidry, 35, who had to leave a full-time job to take care of her newborn, now earns money by using her own car to ferry around strangers for Uber, Lyft and Sidecar, ride services that let people summon drivers on demand via apps. She also assembles furniture and tends gardens for clients who find her on TaskRabbit, an online marketplace for chores.

Her goal is to earn at least $25 an hour, on average. Raising three children with her partner, Jeffrey Bradbury, she depends on the income to help cover her family’s food and rent. That has become more unpredictable of late.

Uber and Lyft recently cut certain fares. In July, TaskRabbit overhauled the way its users select their helpers. After the change, Guidry’s stream of clients dried up.

“You don’t know day to day,” she said. “It’s very up in the air.”

In the sharing economy, sites and apps connect people seeking

services with sellers of those services. Other businesses include Airbnb, the short-term-stay broker; odd-jobs brokers like TaskRabbit and Fiverr; on-demand delivery services like Postmates and Favor; and grocery-shopping services like Instacart.

With unemployment high, however, people like Guidry are less microentrepreneurs than microearners. They often work seven-day weeks, trying to assemble a living wage from one-off gigs. They have little recourse when the services change their business models or pay rates. To reduce the risks, many workers toggle among multiple services.

Piecemeal labor is hardly new, but as expedited by technology and packaged as apps, it has tak-

Many workers are their own bosses, but with freedom comes much uncertainty, little sleep and few of the protections of full-time work.

en on a shinier veneer under new rubrics: the sharing economy, the peer economy, the collaborative economy, the gig economy.

Gigs hold out the prospect of self-management and variety for workers. For consumers, peer marketplaces democratize luxury services by making amateur chauffeurs, chefs and personal assistants available to perform work once dominated by professionals.

Uber has raised over $1.5 billion from investors; Lyft has raised $333 million; and TaskRabbit, $38 million. Part of the attraction for investors is that the companies can avoid huge payrolls by effectively functioning as labor brokers.

According to a report from MBO Partners, a company that provides consulting services,

about 17.7 million Americans last year worked more than half time as independent contributors, among them project workers.

Dean Baker, who is the co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington, says online labor marketplaces are able to drive down costs for consumers by having it both ways: behaving as de facto employers without shouldering the cost burdens or liabilities of employing workers.

“If you did the calculations, many of these people would be earning less than minimum wage,” he said.

Labor activists say gig enterprises may also end up disempowering workers. “It might as well be called wage slavery in which all the cards are held, mediated by technology, by the employer, whether it is the intermediary company or the customer,” said Stanley Aronowitz, director of the Center for the Study of Culture, Technology and Work at the City University of New York.

Guidry knows her routine may not be sustainable. From 10 a.m. on Saturday to 5 a.m. on Sunday, she had earned about $263. But that had required working marathon hours and running a sleep deficit.

“It was a good day I would say, all in all, but a long day,” she said.

“I can’t do many of those.”

Authenticity, Sealed and Repurposed in a Built-for-the-Ages Mason Jar Maybe you’ve sipped a beer from a Mason jar. Or fished out a pickle from one. Or dined under illuminated clusters of the jars.

You might like to use Mason jars to stash your Cheerios or to chill fresh lemonade. Or maybe the one that’s marketed as the “redneck wineglass” is more your speed.

But until several years ago, the jar was more likely to be found in the nooks of grandmothers’ pantries than on retailers’ shelves. It was salvaged from near extinction by businesses eager for a homespun aesthetic, many of them hoping to lure the millennials who have fetishized the jars in photographs on Instagram and Pinterest.

All of this has given a boost to Jarden Home Brands, one of the country’s leading manufacturers of Mason jars. It says sales of one of its Mason jar lines, Ball brand jars, have doubled since 2001, and that overall sales for its home-preserving products have jumped 25 percent in the past two years.

Though the Mason jar has become a symbol of hipness, it started as a necessity. In 1858, John Landis Mason found a way to preserve fruits, vegetables and other perishables when he devised a lid that screwed to the threaded-glass lip of a jar over a rubber ring that sealed previously boiled contents.

“A hundred and fifty years ago, these jars meant survival,” says Douglas M. Leybourne Jr., a Mason jar expert and collector, and the author of “The Collector’s Guide to Old Fruit Jars.” “You have a house full of people, and it’s wintertime. You couldn’t go down to the store — there wasn’t one.”

In the 1950s and ’60s, however, the jars’ market began to fade.

Grocery products like Tang, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and TV dinners threatened to extinguish the canning tradition.

The turning point in the recent history of the Mason jar was the start of the recession in 2008. More people became focused on self-suf-

ficiency and eking out as much value as they could from what they bought. Jarden sells a case of a dozen 16-ounce jars for $11.99 on its website. Generic 16-ounce jars can go for less: $5.22 a case.

“A hundred and fifty years ago, these jars meant survival.”

DOUGLAS M. LEYBOURNE JR.

The personalized food movement also began to emerge. Chris Scherzinger, president and chief executive of Jarden Home Brands, based in Daleville, Ind., says 82 percent of its customers have gardens.

The darlings of that movement are members of the millennial generation, and Jarden has aggres-

sively marketed to them. It has stepped up its presence on Facebook — its page has attracted more than 500,000 fans — and its website offers a Pinterest-like look.

Big corporations are also jumping on the trend, stuffing sugary, high-calorie treats into Mason jar knockoffs. Red Lobster serves strawberry shortcake in a plastic version of the jar, and this summer 7-Eleven began selling plastic replicas with neon lids and straws as receptacles for its Slurpees.

To Nancy F. Koehn, a professor of business administration at Harvard Business School, the marriage of the built-for-the-ages Mason jar and the scientifically engineered Slurpee is “strangely interesting.” The quest for authenticity in the midst of the digital revolution draws people to the comforting rhythms of home life, she says.

Many people, she says, will “want the damn jar more than they want the Slurpee.”

EDITORIALS OF THE TIMES

Fixing Immigration in the Field President Obama is looking to give some unauthorized immigrants a temporary path out of the shadows, a legal way to stay and work. He promised to act by the end of summer if Congress didn’t. Though a debate has raged about the legal and political restraints on Obama’s executive authority to do this, the real question is how many of the unauthorized population, totaling about 11 million, will win a temporary reprieve from deportation.

There is another task for the administration, just as urgent, to bring immigration policy in line with lawfulness and common sense. The Department of Homeland Security needs to get control of its enforcement machinery, to make sure that its actions match the priorities set in Washington, focusing resources on public-safety and national-security threats, not the workers and families trapped in the system.

The goal is the smart and lawful use of discretion. Easy to say. Not so easily done.

The problem is that Homeland Security has farmed out that discretion — strewn it, actually — across the country, among state and local law enforcement agencies whose officers may only dimly recognize, or not care about, the dangers of an indiscriminate immigrant dragnet. Through programs linking local law enforcement with federal agencies, the administration has vastly increased the numbers of low-priority minor offenders and noncriminals it sweeps up. And it has failed to police its own agencies and employees to ensure that its own rules and priorities are followed.

Despite claims of unchecked racial profiling

of Latinos by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents working with local police in cities such as New Orleans and by the sheriff of Alamance County in North Carolina, there is good news on the local front. In an encouraging example of homegrown immigration reform, dozens of state and local governments and police agencies across the country have been refusing to participate in ICE’s dragnet.

Their efforts have focused on the agency’s use of “detainers,” requests to hold suspected immigration violators in jail until federal agents can come to get them.

The localities recognize the constitutional peril. Once they have no more reason to keep somebody in jail — if charges are dropped, a sentence is served or bail is granted — they cannot legally hold someone solely because ICE asks them to. Detainers are not commands or judicial warrants. Except in cases where suspects are convicted of or charged with serious crimes, these local officials are telling the feds: No thank you.

This reflects the realization — well understood at the local level if not in Congress — that get-tough immigration enforcement has in many ways passed the limits of usefulness and good sense. Obama’s recent directive to the Homeland Security secretary to review the enforcement of immigration laws and make them “more humane” embodies that belief.

Those words are welcome, coming from the top. But they have to find a way to reach the bottom, where immigrants, police officers and sheriffs live.

China Confronts Its Coal Problem The Chinese government has indicated a strong desire — and made some specific proposals — to reduce its reliance on coal, a step that would be a welcome development for the Chinese people and the planet. But there is a lot we don’t know about Beijing’s strategy and whether it will be bold enough to have an effect on local air quality and climate change.

State-owned news outlets reported this month that the government would ban the use of coal in Beijing and other urban areas by 2020 in an effort to reduce the air pollution that chokes many cities. In July, a senior Chinese official said the government was considering a national cap on coal use as soon as 2016.

China is the world’s largest consumer of coal, using about 45 percent of the global total.

It is also the largest emitter of carbon dioxide.

China’s energy policies will be crucial to limiting the damage from climate change.

But President Xi Jinping and other officials have provided few details — and have sent conflicting, even disturbing, signals about their plans. Some measures China is considering could actually exacerbate climate change.

One misguided plan would involve building 50 large industrial facilities in western China

to convert coal into synthetic natural gas. This would help the government reduce air pollution in Beijing and Shanghai by replacing coalfired power plants with cleaner gas facilities.

But the process of converting coal to gas would increase the country’s total carbon emissions.

A recent Greenpeace report estimated that the 50 plants China is planning to build could spew as much as 1.1 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air every year, or about one-eighth of the country’s total emissions in 2011. The country already has two coal-to-gas plants in operation, is building three more and has approved the construction of 16 others. Fortunately, there is no shortage of familiar strategies that could enable China to reduce its use of coal in ways that would benefit its cities and the planet.

China can do more to encourage industry and consumers to use energy more efficiently.

Officials have also talked about imposing a carbon tax, which could push industries toward cleaner fuels. The country can also do more to tap into shale gas in a prudent way.

The wretched air in China’s cities is forcing officials to change their energy policies. If they do a good job tackling local pollution, they could also have a big impact on climate change.

MAUREEN DOWD

Where’s the Justice?

Washington Jim Risen is gruff.

The tall slab of a reporter looks like someone who could have played an Irish Marine sergeant in an old World War II movie.

“Editors think I’m a curmudgeon,” the 59-year-old admits, laughing.

As Carl Hulse, The Times’s chief Washington correspondent, wryly puts it: “Whether it’s editors or government officials, Jim definitely won’t take no for an answer, but he will certainly give it.”

On Friday, Risen talked about having the sword of Damocles over his head, as the reluctant star of a searing media-government showdown that could end with him behind bars. “It’s surreal to be caught up in a news story instead of writing about one,” he said.

Risen said he’s not afraid that F.B.I. agents will show up one day at the suburban Maryland home he shares with his wife, Penny. (His three sons are grown, and one is a reporter.)

But he has exhausted all his legal challenges.

“I was nervous for a long time, but they’ve been after me for six years so now I try to ignore it,” he said, musing that he’s already decided what he’ll take to prison: Civil War books and World War II histories.

The Justice Department is trying to scuttle the reporters’ privilege. Attorney General Eric Holder wants to force Risen to reveal the identity of his confidential source on a story he had in his 2006 book about a bungled C.I.A. operation during the Clinton administration in which agents might have inadvertently helped Iran develop its nuclear weapons program. It made the C.I.A. look silly, which may have been more of a sore point than a threat to national security.

But Bush officials, no doubt still smarting from Risen’s revelation of their illegal wiretapping, zeroed in on a disillusioned former C.I.A. agent named Jeffrey Sterling as the source of the Iran story. The subpoena forcing Risen’s testimony expired in 2009, and to the surprise of just about everybody, the constitutional law professor’s administration renewed it.

How can the president use the Espionage Act to throw reporters and whistle-blowers in jail even as he defends the intelligence operatives who “tortured some folks,” and coddles his C.I.A. chief, John Brennan, who spied on the Senate and then lied to the senators about it?

“It’s hypocritical,” Risen said. “A lot of people still think this is some kind of game or signal or spin. They don’t want to believe that Obama wants to crack down on the press and whistle-blowers. But he does. He’s the greatest enemy to press freedom in a generation.”

Risen points to stories about an initiative known as the Insider Threat Program, which McClatchy Newspapers described as “a government-wide crackdown on security threats that requires federal employees to keep closer tabs on their co-workers and exhorts managers to punish those who fail to report their suspicions.”

Risen may be trapped in Ibsen, but Obama is channeling Orwell.

In Push to Shorten Games, No Time to Waste The fundamental problem facing Major League Baseball and its next commissioner, Rob Manfred, is that attention spans are getting shorter while games are getting longer.

On Confronting these BaseBall realities may be Manfred’s top priTyler ority when he takes Kepner office in January, in the first change at the top of baseball’s hierarchy since Bud Selig replaced Fay Vincent in 1992.

“The job is much more complicated,” said Larry Baer, the chief executive of the San Francisco Giants. “You’re dealing with a 20or 25-channel world, maybe, in 1992. Now you’re in a 500-channel universe and the Internet. You’re communicating with people that are walking down the street consuming baseball. And that’s a good thing. But we have to figure

out ways to make it relevant to that 12-year-old.”

Go to any major league park or Little League diamond, and you will still find 12-year-olds enjoying the game. But those smiling faces, owners fear, are disappearing. As the owners left the Hyatt Regency in Baltimore on Thursday after electing Manfred, they cited the importance of appealing to a younger demographic.

Mark Attanasio, the owner of the Milwaukee Brewers, said a brisker pace of games, better use of social media and more participation on the field would be crucial to engaging younger fans.

While Manfred did not reveal the issues that mattered to him, he was convincing to the owners about his plans to modernize the game. That includes improving the pace of play. Thirty years ago, the average time of a game was

2 hours 35 minutes. This season, through last Sunday’s games, it was 3 hours 2 minutes 47 seconds, which would be the longest on record. Players sense the problem.

The Yankees’ Mark Teixeira, when asked what the new commissioner’s top priority should be, said: “From a fan’s perspective, getting kids interested in the game again, watching the game.

I just know that kids don’t watch the game like I did, and pace of play doesn’t help that.”

More children playing baseball also means more future customers for M.L.B. “In order for them to be interested in the game, they’re going to have to play it,” said the Hall of Famer Joe Torre, a sage hand in Manfred’s office.

And to play the game, they first need to like it. Tailoring a slowing product to a generation craving speed is Manfred’s challenge.

Williams Outlasts Wozniacki to Advance to Final MASON, Ohio — Serena Williams, who has one of the most untouchable serves in the history of women’s tennis, was broken seven times Saturday, but she broke Caroline Wozniacki eight times to hang on for a 2-6, 6-2, 6-4 victory in the semifinals of the Western & Southern Open.

“Serena is known for the best serve on tour, so to be able to break her that many times is a very positive thing,” Wozniacki said. “Obviously hurts a little bit even more because I feel like my serve is good as well, so I should be able to hold serve more times.

It’s kind of, you know, bittersweet feeling, I suppose.”

The No. 1 Williams, who will take on either Maria Sharapova or Ana Ivanovic in Sunday’s final, and the former No. 1 Wozniacki have dissimilar styles. Williams dominates with a game built around aggression and power.

Wozniacki relies on speed, guile and consistency. Saturday’s statistics again showed this clearly: despite the close score line, Williams hit 35 winners to only nine

by Wozniacki.

“She’s still playing great tennis, and even better than what she’s been playing in the past couple years,” Williams said. “She’s really taking that defensive game and really just doing well with it.

Union’s New Leader Smashes A Ceiling and a Lot of Egos

As Fast Friends, 2 Stars at Peak IRVINE, Calif. — They are USA Swimming’s dynamic duo, but there is one competition neither Missy Franklin nor Katie Ledecky can win: the popularity contest to anoint a single chlorine queen.

It is a losing proposition for both Franklin, a six-time gold medalist at last summer’s World Championships, and Ledecky, who will go into this week’s Pan Pacific Swimming Championships poised to win as many as five gold medals.

Four years ago, Franklin, now 19, bounded onto the scene and supplanted Natalie Coughlin as America’s swimming sweetheart. In the lead-up to the 2016 Rio Olympics, Ledecky, now 17, with world-record efforts in the 400-, 800- and 1500-meter freestyles, took the crown from Franklin, who tried to head off the public’s inclination to turn the women’s competition at nationals into a two-teen duel.

“She has her goals and accomplishments and I have mine,” Franklin said.

The 30-woman squad that will represent the United States in the Pan Pacifics in Australia averages 20.6 years and will be led by Franklin and Ledecky. “Leadership, I believe, is not tied to chronological age,” said Teri McKeever, the coach. One of her axioms is, “I can’t hear what you’re saying because your actions speak so loudly.”

Franklin’s effervescent personality led one California, Berkeley, teammate to joke, “What did she do, fall out of a box of Lucky

Missy Franklin has the world record in the 200 backstroke.

Charms?” She is a four-time Olympic gold medalist who owns the world record in the 200 backstroke.

Ledecky, who is more of an introvert, plans to attend Stanford. She lowered her personal best in the 400 freestyle by a second, setting the world record Aug. 9 at the Phillips 66 National Championships in Irvine, Calif., and becoming the first woman under 3 minutes 59 seconds (3:58.86).

Like Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler in golf and Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray in tennis, Franklin and Ledecky possess the talent, and the desire, to carry each other, and their sport, far.

“It’s really awesome to have someone who’s really pushing my comfort zone,” Franklin said, “and pushing how I swim my races.”

Ledecky said, “I feel the same way about her.”

Managers Provide Drama as Premier League Begins Season London The most popular soccer league in the world began its season on Saturday and, along with the excitement and exhilaration about the games — On not to mention the sOccer wonderment over the eye-crossing suit Sam Borden golfer Rory McIlroy chose to wear while parading his British Open trophy around Old Trafford in Manchester — there was plenty of drama surrounding its managers.

José Mourinho, Chelsea’s manager, who brands himself the Special One, began the season by pointing out that other coaches in the Premier League did not face the same pressure to suc-

ceed that he did. In Mourinho’s opinion, other coaches “have 10 years to win something; I have only two.”

Arsenal Manager Arsène Wenger was displeased that his team was playing at all. With the World Cup final having been played on July 13, Wenger said, the league having its opening day on Aug. 16 was at least a week too early. Mesut Ozil, Per Mertesacker and Lukas Podolski, who all played for the World Cup champion Germany, did not play for Arsenal on Saturday as the Gunners beat Crystal Palace, 2-1.

Up in northern England, Louis van Gaal wasted no time getting involved in the Premier League managers’ showcase. Van Gaal,

who left his job as manager of the Netherlands’s national team to take over at Manchester United, seems well aware that Alex Ferguson left a strong history of colorful leadership and Van Gaal has not hesitated to embrace it.

Van Gaal did immediately make clear his intent to be a micromanager, dictating that his players speak only English while on the field, and making no secret of his intention to monitor what the players do when they are not taking part in team activities.

Swansea spoiled Van Gaal’s opener on Saturday, beating the Red Devils, 2-1.

For all his woe, however, Van Gaal’s difficult debut was not the most notable managerial

story line of the weekend. That belonged to Tony Pulis, who was named manager of the year. Pulis parted ways with Crystal Palace on Thursday — two days before the season began — after getting into a dispute with the club’s owner over team finances.

One of Pulis’s assistants is filling in until a permanent replacement is named, and despite the upheaval Crystal Palace played well enough to take an early lead against Arsenal. The Gunners would go on to overturn that deficit, but, for a little while at least, the Crystal Palace fans took the opportunity to unveil a chant that seemed particularly strange.

“Who needs a manager?” they sang. “Who needs a manager?”

CNO and MCPON talk Leadership From Chief of Naval Operations Public Affairs

BANGOR, Wash. (NNS) -- Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Jonathan Greenert and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Mike Stevens discuss leadership in the latest chapter of “Conversation with a Shipmate.”

During a trip to the Pacific Northwest region the two leaders sat for an interview with Mass Communication Specialist Second Class Fred Gray to talk about an essential aspect of military service.

“For well over the two hundred years of this great Navy of ours somebody has to lead, has to define the reality to people, their reality and why they are doing what they are doing and what the mission is,” said Greenert. Leadership is the foundation of the Navy and its heritage, Greenert added.

“If we hope to continue to get better as a Navy,” said Stevens, “we have a responsibility to always seek ways to improve leadership and leadership opportunities.”

Greenert and Stevens gave the interview Aug. 6, the day after the FY2015 Chief Petty Officer advancement list came out. They welcomed the opportunity to discuss senior enlisted leadership development.

Speaking on the controversy surrounding the changes made to the Chief ’s training process with the inception of CPO365; MCPON thanked the world-wide Chief ’s mess for implementing the program so effectively.

“I never asked it to be easy, I want it to be hard, testing and challenging,” said Stevens. “I believe we can accomplish that while also treating one another

with the dignity and respect I often talk about.”

Greenert recalled three Chief Petty Officers he has encountered in his over 40 years of naval service as instrumental leaders and mentors, as he called them out by name.

“You ask any officer, somebody sat them down at some time and brought them along,” said Greenert. “The CPO Mess takes care of our officer corps, the lead the vast majority of the Navy and directs the work that gets done day in and day out.”

Both leaders stressed the fact that though senior enlisted and officers need to set the moral example, leadership is something that needs to be cultivated throughout every rank in a military member’s career.

“Where there are two Sailors, there will always be at least one

leader,” said Stevens. “So to me leadership has no rank. Leadership is something that everyone is responsible for, and must embrace.”

RIMPAC 2014 Concludes with Enhanced Cooperation among 22 Nations

By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class John Sorensen

PEARL HARBOR (NNS) -- The world’s largest international maritime exercise, Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2014, concluded with the participation of 22 nations, 49 surface ships, six submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California, August 1.

Hosted by U.S. Pacific Fleet, RIMPAC 2014 was led by U.S. Vice Adm. Kenneth Floyd, commander of the U.S. 3rd Fleet (C3F), serving as the combined task force (CTF) commander. RIMPAC is designed to enhance cooperation of the combined forces and improve individual war fighting competencies.

“The relationships that are forged at RIMPAC span oceans and years,” said Floyd. “RIMPAC is a unique opportunity for us to get to know each other, to train together, and provide some level of trust when we are out on the high seas together in the future. It is the only exercise that can do so to this scale.”

This year’s exercise included units and personnel from Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Colombia, France, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands,

New Zealand, Norway, People’s Republic of China, Peru, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of the Philippines, Singapore, Tonga, the United Kingdom and the United States. The training syllabus included amphibious operations, gunnery, missile, anti-submarine, and air defense exercises, as well as military medicine, humanitarian assistance and disaster response, counter-piracy, mine clearance operations, explosive ordnance disposal, and diving and salvage operations.

Royal Australian Navy Rear Adm. Simon Cullen, CTF deputy commander, said RIMPAC helped international participants hone the skills that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world’s oceans.

“This was an opportunity for the participating nations to take advantage of the excellent training infrastructure and ranges that are available in the Hawaiian Islands,” Cullen said. “It enabled individual units to conduct training that they could not otherwise have in their own waters.”

RIMPAC 2014 marked the first time that Japan led the scenario-

driven humanitarian assistance/ disaster relief (HA/DR) response portion of the exercise that facilitated training and certification for expeditionary forces to respond to foreign disasters as a crisis response adaptive force.

Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Rear Adm. Yasuki Nakahata served as commander of HA/DR operations.

“Through this exercise, we were able to show a well-coordinated effort similar to the United Nations or a civil/military coordination center and conduct our mission with all pertinence. This is a great step forward for all of Japan and a great impact to an international society,” Nakahata said.

RIMPAC 2014 had two new participants this year, Brunei and the People’s Republic of China.

Additionally, RIMPAC participants who sent a ship for the first time to participate in RIMPAC 2014 included Colombia, India, Indonesia and Norway. This year also marked the first time hospital ships participated in RIMPAC. The Chinese hospital ship, Peace Ark, and USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) conducted personnel

exchanges, military medicine exchanges and medical evacuation and mass casualty training, further highlighting the valuable capability hospital ships bring to the Pacific.

With the theme of “capable, adaptive partners” participating nations at RIMPAC 2014 demonstrated the flexibility of maritime forces to meet regional and global challenges for mutual benefit.
