Naval Support Activity Washington's(NSAW) Community Planning Liaison Offi-cer (CPLO) and Public Works Departmenthave kept in close contact with the man-agers of the 11th St. Bridge Project and theDC Water Clean Rivers Project CombinedSewer Overflow Control Program, clearlycommunicating both the needs of the Yard'scommuters and NSAW's operational re-quirements.

These efforts have minimized impacts tothe installation by consolidating individualconstruction evolutions. However, there willstill be inconveniences for our commuters.

There will be further impacts to vehicularand pedestrian traffic as the constructionprojects progress throughout the summer.We will continue to actively engage the proj-ect managers and pass information to helpyour employees plan their commutes.Thank you in advance for your patience andcooperation in helping us manage this issue.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) progresses withthe month of April, and a new theme: Sexual Assault Affects All.

The month of April is being utilized not only by the Navy,but also by presidential proclamation for the whole country, totake time to recognize the devastating impact that sexual as-sault can have. The Navy is not immune from the plight that isprevalent in the United States' armed forces with a crime of sex-ual assault or rape occurring roughly three times a day.

SAAM in the Navy looks to break down the barriers aroundtalking about an admittedly uncomfortable topic by discussingthe issue around four themes: Hurts One, Affects All, Preventionis Everyone's Duty, and We Will Not Tolerate Sexual Assault.

Sailors will attend educational standdowns throughout themonth, and a multitude of events will be taking place through-out Naval DistrictWashington (NDW). This week, the programis focused on the theme of "Affects All", emphasizing the factthat while a single victim is hurt by the act, all Sailors suffer forit. As "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link", so does sex-ual assault threaten the Navy by undermining the efficiency andreadiness of Sailors it victimizes. Therefore, it affects the entire

HURREX/Citadel Gale2012 is slated to getunderway next week,running fromApril 16 to 27

The annual exercise is a part of theNavy's testing and training regimen, withthese exercises being focused on prepara-tion for the major threat that extremeweather can pose to the effectiveness andoperational readiness of the military. Hur-ricanes are at the forefront of concern in de-structive weather as their overwhelmingpower has provided numerous examplesover the last several years to the challengesMother Nature can present.

"From past experience, we know thedamage that [natural disasters] can cause,"said Timothy Stoessel with Training andReadiness (N7). "All you have to do is lookat the flood of the Naval Academy [duringHurricane Isabel in 2003] to realize the kind

of damage 'All-Hazards' can inflict".Over the last two centuries, tropical cy-

clones have claimed the lives of approxi-mately 1.9 million people. The UnitedStates have had its own costly reminders ofthe strength of hurricanes, notably in 2005with the storm surge of Hurricane Katrina,which killed nearly two-thousand andcaused 108 billion dollars worth of damage,the costliest in American history.

HURREX/Citadel Gale takes place to en-sure that the Navy, as a vital partner in thecommunity, is prepared to not only lessenany possible detriment to operationalreadiness, but also to provide assistance tothe civil authorities in affected areas to"save lives, prevent human suffering, ormitigate extensive property damage." Thisresponsibility that Sailors have requiresthey be extensively trained in preparation.

HURREX/Citadel Gale is conducted witha particular focus on Tropical Cyclone Con-ditions of Readiness (COR). These statuseshelp frame the preparation effort for a hur-

HURREX to begin next week

What is your reaction to the statistic:3 sexual assaults occur each day on average in the U.S. Navy?

Around the Yard

I'm surprised, I would think it wouldbe 3 a week. I think its getting betterwith getting information out theresince I joined the Navy.

Lt. Cmdr. John Bauer, NAVSEA

I'm very shocked at the statistics. Ithink the Navy is going in the rightdirection with No-Tolerance.

Debbie Davis, NAVFAC Washington

For me, one is too many, but theNavy has taken significant strides.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Naval SurfaceWar-fare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD)scientists and engineers participated in thesecond annual DC FIRST (For Inspiration andRecognition of Science and Technology) Ro-botics Competition (FRC) at the Walter E.Washington Convention Center on March 30.

"First Robotics Competition (FRC) is thekind of event where young people get theirhands dirty, build a project, and see it throughto completion,” said Chief of Naval Research,USN RADM Matthew Klunder. “This kind ofoutreach can help the Navy and Marine Corpsdesign a new submarine, build a new aircraft,develop a new amphibious vehicle, or evenexplore software engineering. I'm all aboutmomentum - this is about the reality of tap-ping youth's creativity to help advance theNavy and our Nation."

FRC combines the excitement of sportwith the rigors of science and technology. Un-

der strict rules, limited resources, and timelimits, teams of 25 students or more are chal-lenged to raise funds, design a team "brand,"hone teamwork skills, and build and programrobots to perform prescribed tasks against afield of competitors. “It’s as close to ‘real-world engineering’ as a student can get,” saidInspiring Leaders in Technology & Engineer-ing (ILITE) Robotics Team Lead, Jacob Malt-bie. Volunteer professional mentors lendtheir time and talents to guide each team.

“This year, NSWC Carderock Division’soutreach mentors supported the NationalDefense Education Program’s (NDEPs) exhibitat the DC FIRST Regional Robotics Competi-tion. Since the majority of the 64 teams hereare local to the D.C. area, this is an incredibleopportunity to share our SeaPerch and Calcu-lator-Controlled Robot outreach programswith a captive audience,” said NSWCCDOcean EngineerToby Ratcliffe, coordinator ofNSWCCD’s K-12 Science, Technology, Engi-neering and Math (STEM) Outreach pro-grams, including SeaPerch,TI and Bristle Botsthroughout the metropolitan area. NSWC

Carderock employs a large number of scien-tists and engineers and has a robust outreachprogram goal to collaborate with local schoolsto expand students and teacher's awarenessand understanding of careers in STEM - tofurther garner student interest in future ca-reers in science and engineering.

For more information about SeaPerch,please visit: www.seaperch.org, where stu-dents and teachers can blog, post video andpictures, and view training video segments ofthe build process.

The event featured opportunities to see fu-ture scientists and engineers testing their owncreative and modernized design concepts.“My experience with FIRST Robotics and mypersonal continuation through STEM educa-tion has truly inspired me to pursue new ca-reers and experience to take on new chal-lenges in STEM related activities,” said Vir-ginia Tech student, Rebecca Wescott, whoprovided support to the ILITE RoboticsTeam.

This competition allowed students to de-sign, build, and test competitively, which is apart of NSWC Carderock Division’s larger out-

reach efforts designed to spark student’s in-terest in STEM. “FIRST provides the most in-vigorating opportunity for me to implementmy personal goal in life of ’opening doors forpeople from 6to 66’,” said Professor Gail Drakefrom Battlefield High School, ILITE Robotics,in Haymarket, VA. “I love to show and leadpeople to find a passion and use their talentsin an engaging, rewarding and giving way.”

Simon Gray, NAVSEA PEO Ships’ Produc-tion Manager for DDG1000, said, “With theever increasing automation in the world, it iscritical to introduce the girls and boys into theexciting and ever expanding future world ofengineering. I have a goal in life to continuallyintroduce one more youth into the scienceand engineering (S&E) fields, one day at atime.”

Carderock is the full-spectrum researchand development, test and evaluation, engi-neering, and Fleet support organization forthe Navy’s ships, submarines, military water-craft, and unmanned vehicles for the NavyFleet of the 21st Century.

NSA Washington-JBAB Fleet Family and Fun

By Gary Younger,NAS Patuxent River Public Affairs

Another historic milestone has beenreached at Naval Air Station Patuxent River:the 69th anniversary of the base's April 1,1943 commissioning. Or, if you say the birthof the base began with construction, thefirst shovels turned dirt 70 years ago,Wednesday. Officially, the commissioningdate is celebrated.

Regardless of which date you use, muchhas been made here during the sevendecades since planning began for what wasknown then as Naval Air Station CedarPoint, taking its name from the displacedcommunity. Many, however, thought themoniker could be confused with NAS Cher-ry Point in North Carolina, so the name waschanged in favor of another local landmark,the Patuxent River.

Situated on a peninsula between thePatuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay,NAS Patuxent River is located on more than6,400 acres of what was once prime farm-land, consisting of several large plantations,including Mattapany, Susquehanna andCedar Point. There were also numerous ten-ant and sharecropper properties and a fewclusters of vacation homes. The Cedar Pointcommunity included several churches, apost office, and a gas station.

In 1937, the Navy's Bureau of Aeronau-tics sought to consolidate aviation test pro-grams, previously being conducted at sev-eral stations, including Dahlgren and Nor-

folk, Va.; the Washington Navy Yard andNaval Air Station Anacostia in Washington,D.C., and the Naval Aircraft Factory inPhiladelphia. Cedar Point was selected dueto its remote location on the coastline, wellremoved from air traffic congestion, withample space for weapons testing.

The onset of American involvement inWorld War II spurred establishment of thenew air station. Rear Admiral John HenryTowers, Chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics,requested approval and authorization tobegin construction on December 22, 1941,just days after the attack on Pearl Harbor.Secretary of the Navy, Frank Knox, gave ap-proval on January 7, 1942; residents hadabout a month, until March 1, 1942, to relo-cate as the federal government purchasedall the land at a cost of $712,287 for 6,412acres. Construction began on April 4, 1942.Within a year, farming operations at CedarPoint were replaced by flight test opera-tions.

Employing some 7,000 people at its peakof construction, the area had a very GoldRush "boom town" feel as local residentswere joined by workers from all over thecountry, eager for the high-paying jobs onstation.

Rear Admiral John S. McCain, then chiefof the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics, calledPatuxent River "the most needed station inthe Navy" during the commissioning cere-mony. Happy 69th Birthday, NAS PatuxentRiver, and here's to many great years ahead.

Happy Birthday Pax River

"Sexual assault prevents us, as a Navy,from working as a team," said Rear Adm.Martha Herb, Director, Personnel Readinessand Community Support. "This violence iscorrosive to morale, and to our operationaland combat readiness."

The importance of realizing that sexual as-sault is a problem that belongs to the entireNavy, and not just groups by gender, age orother characteristics is being heavily empha-sized by various command authorities. Onestep towards prevention is removing the re-luctance of "talking about" the issue.

"Sailors need to be aware of the impor-tance of 'if you see something, say some-thing'," said Naval District Washington(NDW) Command Master Chief Leland

Moore. "If they do see something requiring in-tervention, then say something.”

SAAM is being recognized throughout theNavy, and NDW is no exception. Events lastweek included a Ribbon Tying at Joint BaseAnacostia-Bolling, in which Sailors and Air-men tied teal ribbons, the symbol adapted forsexual assault, to trees around the base in or-der to increase awareness. The National Capi-tol Region (NCR) as a whole also conducted aSexual Assault Awareness Walk, also to in-crease awareness. Briefs have been conduct-ed at Anne Arundel Community College andthe National Security Agency/Fort Meade.

"I am very encouraged by the sexual as-sault awareness events and training effortsthat are going on throughout the Navy thismonth," said Herb. "We can no longer affordto be silent on this issue. I encourage all[Sailors] to join in on the discussion."

SAAM and Sexual Assault Prevention andResponse (SAPR) efforts continue next weekwith the theme "Prevention is everyone'sduty". For more information on SAAM andSAPR, please visit www.sapr.navy.mil.

ricane in terms of times until the threatpresents itself. There are five CORs, start-ing with COR V, which states that destruc-tive winds (of 50 knots or greater) are pos-sible within four days (96 hours). The CORsthen descend from IV at 72 hours, III at 48hours, II at 24 hours, to finally COR I whenpossibly damaging winds are going to bepresent within 12 hours.

The exercise will involve two simulatedstorm systems developing and intensifyingto hurricane strength, threatening theCaribbean Islands, East Coast and GulfCoast regions. Although the exercise doesnot involve any real movement of ships oraircraft, the exercise is designed to be asreal as possible. Commander, Task Force20 will simulate a sortie, and Sailors ashoreand afloat, in port or underway will reviewtheir heavy weather instructions and pro-cedures.

NDW, and the Navy as a whole, consid-ers the safety of its Sailors and their familiesto be the highest possible priority, especial-ly during violent weather. Therefore, thereis a large emphasis in all Navy commands

on security and accountability before, dur-ing, and after destructive weather. TheNavy Family Accountability and Assess-ment System (NFAAS) is a key part of thisaccountability. The Navy uses the NFAAS toaccount for Sailors and Navy families, aswell as to identify disaster-related needs ofNavy families. Sailors and their familiesshould ensure their information is up todate in NFAAS. (NFAAS Websitehttps://navyfamily.navy.mil)

"For the average Sailor individual andfamily emergency preparedness for de-structive weather is arguably the principalbenefit to be gained from the annual HUR-REX exercise," said Thompson Gerke, withNDW Operations (N3). "Self-registration inthe NDW Wide Area Alert Network and up-dating information in the NFAAS are keyand essential tasks."

Keynes, Hayek: The Clash That DefinedModern Economics by Nicholas Wapshott.Published byW.W.Norton and Company,NewYork,2011.

Economics is often referred to as“The Dis-mal Science,” but this derogatory term coinedby British historianThomas Carlyle in the 19thcentury masks the very real issue that eco-nomics permeates our daily lives. Today’s hotdebates center on what Harvard politicalphilosopher Michael Sandel asks: is the UnitedStates a market economy an effective tool ofefficiently organizing production or have webecome a market society in which market val-ues seep into every aspect of human endeav-or? Can advanced nations with a low birthratesustain social welfare programs for the retiredand elderly? Is pumping money the answer toaddressing a freeze in lending? These andmany more complex questions pervade ournational discourse, and journalist and biogra-pher NicholasWapshott has written about twoeconomists who are at the center of our dis-cussions on the economy for the last century.

They, John Maynard Keynes and Frederichvon Hayek, two very different thinkers withdifferent views on how to handle such crisesas an global economic depression, the role ofgovernment in a market economy, and in thecase of Keynes providing us the language thathelps us today delineate between micro andmacro economics, as well as giving us the toolsof what would evolve into econometrics (mea-suring the national as well as global economy).

Keynes was born in Cambridge, Englandand Hayek was born in Vienna, Austria. Bothwould experience the aftermath of World WarI in different ways, Keynes as a part of the repa-rations delegation for the Paris 1919 PeaceConference and Hayek as struggling with cur-rency devaluation. The book untangles howeach would look upon the impact of money,economics, and the business cycle. Keynes’sbig idea was the advocacy of government us-ing fiscal and monetary policies to manage orlessen the impact of economic recessions anddepressions. Keynes argued that a govern-ment dollar spent is not just a dollar but whenpassed around to acquire goods and serviceshas a multiplier effect on the general economy.He asked us to look at aggregate demand, the

total demand for final goods and services at agiven time and at a given price level.

Hayek took the opposite approach arguingthat the most efficient means of organizing theeconomy is by completely leaving it to the freemarket, his argument of the primacy of freemarket in coordinating people and that gov-ernment meddling would only delay the in-evitable bust in the business cycle, whichHayek saw as self-correcting and thereby lead-ing to an eventual boom.

Both men wrote at about the same time,and publicly disagreed with one anotheropenly, the book is about this debate, and thefinal chapter discusses those influenced byone or the other. In 2008, with the Americaneconomy on the brink those who may havebeen ardent in their views about Hayek’s the-ories about the free market amended thoseviews to embrace Keynes to save the financialsystem from collapse.

Wapshott has made the ideas of two fa-thers of modern economics come to lifethrough historical narrative and biography.The book will take readers into the languageof modern economics as it evolved throughthe eyes of Keynes and Hayek.

Keynes, Hayek: The Clash thatDefined Modern Economics

By Jim Garamone,American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, April 3, 2012 – As U.S.,NATO and Afghan officials discuss the fu-ture of night raids in Afghanistan, the raidsare effective and Afghan forces participatein the planning of every night operation, asenior Defense Department official saidhere today.

“[Night raids have] been a concern ofthe Afghan government for some time,”George Little, acting assistant secretary ofdefense for public affairs, said in a newsconference. “We recognize that. We recog-nize the effectiveness, as well, that nightoperations have had over time.”

NATO and U.S. officials contend that

conducting night operations reduces thedanger to civilians while keeping pressureon insurgents. International Security Assis-tance Force officials in the Afghan capitalof Kabul say 85 percent of night operationsoccur without a shot being fired, and onlyabout 1 percent of night operations haveled to civilian casualties.

Still, night operations are a bone of con-tention for the Afghan government, and thecoalition is working with the government toassuage their concerns, Little said.

“We believe we’re making progress inheading toward an agreement on this anda broad range of other issues,” he added.“ISAF forces are working hand in hand withour Afghan partners on night operations,and they are highly effective.”

Al-Qaida is smaller and has been hurtbadly by continued U.S. and coalition at-tacks, but it remains a danger, Little said.

“The important thing to rememberabout al-Qaida is that … even though theymay be smaller than some other groups inthe region, it’s about their objectives,” hesaid. “And … even though they are dam-aged from serious pressure that's beenbrought to bear against them, one of theirobjectives remains to attack the UnitedStates and our allies. So we have to keep thepressure up. We have to make sure that theydon't have the ability to strike us again.”

Little stressed that Afghan national se-curity forces are making progress. About330,000 Afghan soldiers and police are serv-ing today, a number headed to 352,000 this

summer. “There’s been a lot of discussionrecently, and rightfully so, about some trag-ic and recent incidents,” he said, referringto attacks on coalition forces by Afghans inuniform. But the overwhelming majority ofAfghan forces have made progress, headded.

“They’re doing great work, on their ownand with us and with our allies,” Little said,adding that while there have been inci-dents, the over-arching progress cannot bedenied.

“This is a testament to our Afghan allies’commitment to taking the fight on them-selves [and] providing for their own securi-ty, and we’re going to continue to stick withthem to try to enhance their capabilities,”he said. “This is important.”

U.S. and Afghan officials negotiate on night raid policies

Masoud Hashime, the Project Manager for the AFPAK Dari program said: "Thecapstone exercise is one of the most significant and highly effective pieces of theAFPAK Hands language training program. It allows the "Hands" to apply their lan-guage skills and cultural knowledge to situations they might encounter in theater.

Role players are carefully selected and the stages are authentically built or dec-orated to give participants the feel of being in the country. It's an opportunity forthem to foster fluency, build confidence in casual and formal conversations andbuild strong rapport with their counterparts."

In Kabul the "Hands" are continuing their training for two more weeks at theCOIN Academy located at Camp Julien on the outskirts of Kabul before taking uptheir final assignments with their units. Cohort 3C will spend the next 12 monthsin Afghanistan supporting the transition operations in preparation for the Decem-ber 31, 2014 change to Afghan led security.

Editor's Note: This week's submission is part 2 of 2 and was graciously sent tothe Waterline by Lt. Cmdr. Ahmed Qureshi, COMISAF Advisory and AssistanceTeam, Kabul, Afghanistan. AFPAK Hands is a language and cultural immersioninitiative which consists of three phases: language and cultural training, in andout of theater deployment. During an out of theater deployment a service membercan be assigned to a government agency, DoD command or other organizationwhere their work in country can be applied and then add to their perspective whenthey redeploy.

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- During the Fourth Annual Mili-tary Child of the Year Awards Gala the five recipients of thisyear's Military Child of the Year Awards were presented withtheir awards by senior leadership of each branch of service atthe Ritz Carlton in Washington D.C. April 5.

Keynote speakers during the ceremony included Chair-man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey andMedal of Honor recipient Sammy Davis.

"I think that our military kids are who they are because ofthe hardships, the moves, and their adaptability," saidDempsey. "One of the things that sets us apart is that our kidsbecome who they are because of what we ask them to do andbecause of what they see us do."

Jim Knotts, President and CEO of Operation Homefrontsaid that these children are honored because of their contri-butions to their communities.

"The sons and daughters of America's service memberslearn what patriotism is at a very young age," said Knotts."Children in military families demonstrate leadership withintheir families and within their communities. This is what theMilitary Child of the Year Award honors."

Each year one child from each branch of service is chosenas the military child of the year. This year's Military Child ofthe Year for the Navy, 9 year old James "Nate" Richards, waspresented with his award by Chief of Naval Operations Adm.Jonathan Greenert.

"I am so proud of our military kids for their resilience,strength of character, and unselfish service to our nation," saidGreenert. "Nate's father and three brothers all serve on activeduty as a part of our Navy-Marine Corps team. He and his fam-ily are special people and we are so fortunate to have them onour team."

Richards was chosen from a pool of 1,000 nominees by acommittee made up of active duty military personnel, FamilyReadiness Support Assistants, teachers, military mothers, andcommunity members.

At one time Richards' three brothers and his father weredeployed simultaneously. To help him deal with the difficultyof their absence he started a blog entitled "natethegreatamil-itarybrat" (http://natethegreatamilitarybrat.wordpress.com/)where he shared his wisdom about being a child in a militaryfamily.

"It was hard because my brothers took care of me when mydad was gone, and then everyone was gone," said Richards. "Iwrote the blog so my friends could see what it was like."

Richards said that being chosen as this year's Navy MilitaryChild of the Year has been a cool experience.

"This has been awesome," said Richards. "My favorite partwas coming up on stage and receiving my award and alsohearing Mr. [Sammy] Davis [Sgt. 1st Class (Ret.)] play the har-monica."

Richards had some advice for other military children whomay have family members deployed.

"Think about something else," said Richards. "Read a bookor a book series and try not to listen to the news about whereyour person is deployed to."

He also had a message for his father and his brothers."I want to tell my brothers and my dad that I love and miss

them and hope they come back soon," he said.Operation Homefront provides emergency financial and

other assistance to the families of our service members andwounded warriors. A national nonprofit, Operation Home-front leads more than 4,500 volunteers across 23 chapters andhas met more than 590,000 needs since 2002. A four-star ratedcharity by watchdog Charity Navigator, nationally, 94 percentof total revenue donated goes directly to support service mem-bers and their families.

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. -- With theobelisk of theWashington Monument in plain sight across thePotomac River, those gathered for Thursday’s Japanese cherrytree planting ceremony on Joint Base Anacostia-Bollingcouldn’t have asked for a better view or day to celebrate thelongtime friendship between two proud nations.

Senior U.S. military personnel joined Japanese AmbassadorIchiro Fujisaki and members of the Japanese Self-DefenseForces in planting five trees along the banks of the Potomacnear JBAB’s Giesboro Park. The trees, which symbolize eachbranch of the U.S. Armed Forces and their Japanese counter-parts, are descendents of the original cherry trees given to theU.S. by Japan back in 1912 as a sign of friendship, or “to-modachi.” A monument stone was also unveiled in the samearea where the grove of cherry trees will one day flourish.

“If you were to close your eyes and think of a place to planta grove of Japanese cherry trees, this would be it,” said retiredU.S. Army Col. George Newman. “The trees will one day be ashigh as 50 feet and have a reach of about 40 feet. They will beamazing to look at for everyone walking along the Potomachere at JBAB.”

Newman is a member of the U.S. Military Japan Alumni As-sociation (USMJAA), which was formed in spring 2010 to assistU.S. service members and their Japanese counterparts in re-newing and sustaining friendships, sharing fond memories ofJapan and staying informed on the latest news and informationbetween the two countries.

Navy Capt. Anthony T. Calandra, JBAB commander, whowas stationed in Japan along with his family from 2008-2010,spoke during the ceremony and said his time there remainsone of his fondest tours of duty.

“Beig able to work side-by-side with members of the Japan-ese Self-Defense Forces was a very rewarding and delightful ex-perience in my life,” Calandra said. “Japan remains a profes-

sional and capable friend of the U.S. in an uncertain world. Itwill always be a lasting partnership between two great nations.”

Retired Air Force Gen. Richard Myers pointed out that whenanyone comes to visitWashington, D.C., particularly during thespring season, it’s all about the Japanese cherry blossoms.

“These trees are a symbol of the bond between the U.S. andJapan,” Myers said.“There is solidarity between our two forces.Together, we try to make the world a better place for everyone.”

Fujisaki thanked everyone for attending the brisk, but beau-tiful morning ceremony, joking that his representatives stressedthe essential ABCs to him prior to the event (Anacostia-Bolling

and Calandra). He said he hopes to visit JBAB again in the fu-ture.

“The people of Japan will never forget the U.S. standing withus during our most difficult moments in history,” Fujisaki said.“This is a great event and I sure hope to come back one day andsee how the trees are doing.”

More than 35,000 U.S. service members are stationed inJapan at any given time. In many cases, they are accompaniedby family members, bringing the total number of those affili-ated with the U.S. military residing in Japan to approximately80,000 people, according to the USMJAA.
