Unemployment, Status In Employment And Wages In Morocco
AbstractHigh unemployment rates among educated workers in Morocco and many other developing countries is a serious issue. The worsening unemployment problem among educated workers in Morocco started with the cuts to public sector hiring under structural adjustment policies implemented in 1983. Thus, this paper analyzes the evolution of the determinants of employment and the status in employment and wages in this country after 1983 using a cohort approach. Estimates based on microdata from the 1998 Moroccan labour force survey confirm the deterioration in employment of educated workers after 1983. The results also show that the contraction of employment opportunities has increased the probability of considering self-employment as an alternative to unemployment, except for university graduates who still prefer paid work and, consequently, risk long periods of unemployment. Results also exhibit a significant decline over time in returns to education, whereas paid employment opportunities and wages have improved for uneducated workers.

Berlin Tempelhof airport will almost certainly close on October 31. In a public referendum held on April 27, a majority of voters– some 60 percent–favored keeping the downtown airport open, but they represented only 21.3 percent of the city's 2.425 million electors. A quorum of 25 percent was required for the vote to qualify as a recommendation to the Berlin Senate, which was to make the final decision.
NBAA more than doubled the number of exhibitors at the Maintenance Management Conference from last year, increasing the number from 27 to 63. Kevin Smith, chair of the exhibitor working group, attributed that success to hard work.

Intern Spotlight - Jonathan Oatman
This summer, U.S. Representative Jeff Denham (R-Turlock) welcomed back Jonathan Oatman onto his summer staff. The 21 year-old hails from Ahwahnee, California, and today completed his two-month internship in Denham's Washington, D.C., office.
Jonathan was the last of the interns to join the 2012 summer internship program in DC. Mr. Oatman first interned in Denham's Washington office in the summer of 2011, where he proved to be an invaluable asset to the office during his three-month internship. Since joining the team, Jonathan has skillfully juggled various office responsibilities; but, upon returning this summer, Jonathan had a more specific goal in mind. By putting his researching skills to use, Jonathan was able to follow the latest developments in healthcare legislation, and hopes to one day contribute to developing a comprehensive alternative to current healthcare policy.
"It's always an honor to welcome such hardworking young men and women to my staff for the unique opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge of the federal legislative process," said Rep. Denham. "Jonathan Oatman is an extremely hard worker, and he has done so much to help his neighbors in our community. It's truly been a pleasure to welcome Jonathan back this summer, and I am certain he has a bright future ahead of him."
"I wanted to work for this office because the issues Congressman Denham championed were issues that affected my home," said Jonathan Oatman. "Above everything else, this internship has restored my confidence in our government because I have been able to observe so many people who are truly passionate about changing the direction of our country."
Oatman will begin his senior year at John Hopkins University this fall, where he is majoring in International Studies. In addition to his internship, Jonathan puts his leadership skills hard to work as the Co-Manager of the Complete Dorm Room at John Hopkins and The Blue Jay Cleaners. After graduation, Jonathan says that he's open to the idea of relocating to Washington, D.C., where he would look for a position with an office on Capitol Hill.
Jonathan is the son of Bruce and Rebecca Oatman.

Running toward the future, 100 young athletes from New York Road Runners youth programs were at center stage yesterday in Times Square, participating in an exhibition to mark the 100th anniversary of the International Association of Athletics Federations and a century of track-and-field excellence around the globe.
"I am very happy to be here today in one of the world's most famous places: Times Square, New York," said IAAF President Lamine Diack in remarks that opened the festivities amid the lights of Broadway. "It is a privilege to be part of this youthful and inspiring project … What could be more symbolic than 100 children, 100 meters, 100 years?"
Most of the young runners were 10- to-14-year-olds from NYRR youth programs, joined by the 7- and 8-year-old finalists in the adidas Fastest Kids sprint that will take place at Saturday's adidas Grand Prix meet at Icahn Stadium.
"It's a fabulous day for running in New York," said Mary Wittenberg, president and CEO of New York Road Runners, after cheering for the young runners under sunny skies on National Running Day. "It's great to see running in the center of the universe, Times Square, and wonderful to see so many organizations—IAAF, USOC, USATF, Global Athletics & Marketing, NYRR—coming together to promote the sport."
Global Athletics & Marketing produces the adidas Grand Prix, now in its eighth year as a world-class track and field event. It is one of 14 meets on the international Samsung Diamond League circuit.
Also in celebration of National Running Day, 2,500 youngsters from NYRR's Mighty Milers program gathered at Icahn Stadium for a morning of running events and other activities.
Before the Times Square relay began, the children gathered around Diack and surprised him with a serenade of "Happy Birthday." He will turn 79 on Thursday.
Then, led by Tirunesh Dibaba, the double 2008 Olympic gold medalist, and Desiree Davila, a 2012 U.S. Olympic Marathon team member, the young runners divided up for a relay along a section of Broadway, its blue pavement lined with tape to transform it into an eight-lane sprint runway. With Diack serving as official starter, the exhibition began shortly after 1 p.m. as passersby took a break from their busy lunch hour to watch.
President Diack smiled as the children ran. "This is a very special moment for me," he said afterward, "because the future of our sport is these kids."
In his remarks, Diack also announced the names of the three latest U.S. athletes set for induction to the IAAF Hall of Fame: Olympic gold medalists Mildred "Babe" Didrikson, Michael Johnson, and Dan O'Brien.
O'Brien, the 1996 Olympic decathlon champion who was present to emcee the races, said he was honored. "I feel absolutely blessed," he said.
Earlier, he had congratulated the young runners on their good fortune.
"This is something you'll be able to tell your friends about, that you ran in Times Square," he said. "I never got to run in Times Square."

If, like me, you have seen indie darling Greta Gerwig before (in "Baghead," "Greenberg" or "Arthur") and haven't decided whether her earnest quirkiness left you irritated or besotted, "Damsels in Distress" won't help you reach a verdict.
Gerwig plays Violet, the talkative leader of a gaggle of female do-gooders at a formerly all-male Seven Oaks College. Violet and her friends, snooty Rose (Megalyn Echikunwoke) and dim Heather (Carrie MacLemore), run the campus' suicide prevention center, where Violet champions tap-dancing as a depression cure. Enter Lily (Analeigh Tipton), a transfer student who questions whether Violet is too judgmental about Seven Oaks' menfolk, sending Violet into a self-described "tailspin."
Writer-director Whit Stillman, long the chronicler of young upper-crust manners ("Metropolitan," "The Last Days of Disco"), creates dialogue that is as clever as it is chatty, with charming discursions for Gershwin tunes and even an attempt at starting a dance craze.
Gerwig, with her rapid-fire dithering, is fully in command of the film, though I can't help feeling her winsome awkwardness will eventually lead to her and Zooey Deschanel in a back-alley knife fight to determine who's the most "adorkable" of all.

Eventually when testing your controllers you will come across an action that sets TempData.
If you didn't know, TempData is a session-backed temporary storage dictionary that is available for one single request. It's great to pass messages between controllers.
Our Controller classes that we derive from have this as a member property. However, when testing the controller, this always came up as null.
Reflector is our friend here, so I fired it up and loaded the Controller class. Then I located the TempData member, and looked at the setter. It's marked as internal, so somebody inside this assembly is responsible for creating it. By using the Reflector Analyze feature, I was able to find exactly where the setter is called. It's in the Execute() method. (this is the general "pipeline" method that all `IController` implementations must override)
Think about that for a second. At runtime, the TempData dictionary is set because all requests flow through `Execute()`. But in my test, I am specifically calling my action method. There is no `Execute()` in my test.
To top it off, I can't set this guy to a new TempDataDictionary because the setter is marked as internal.
Phil Haack tells me they're working on this issue so we'll likely see an improvement soon. In the meantime you can get around the issue by using reflection to set the value. But first, can we create one?
TempData is stored in session, so it needs a reference to IHttpContext. Thankfully, we can mock this, however we have to make sure and mock the right parts.
First, create a mock for IHttpContext, create the return values for mocked IHttpRequest & IHttpResponse. Finally setup return values for IHttpSession as well. I've done all of this in a helper method of my test (though it could be an extention method on the MockRepository ala Phil, but whatever you like).
This code is a little verbose, but this is something you write once and use in all of your tests. You should notice that the `_tempData` property is a local field on my test class. I can then take this `_tempData` variable and inject it (via reflection) onto the controller under test. Here's how:
And now we can easily test that messages are set in TempData before redirecting or rendering a view.
*update*: Will Shaver notified me of a typo in the code. It has been fixed. Thanks Will!*

San Francisco has cultivated its reputation as a serious foodie city, and readers gave it high marks for both fine dining and ethnic cuisine, even if they did also experience some sticker shock. To shop at hip boutiques, browse galleries, and dine among the cognoscenti, check out the Hayes Valley neighborhood and its Absinthe Brasserie & Bar. Any snobbiness didn't stop San Francisco from being acknowledged for its welcoming attitude: the city also ranked first in the survey for being gay-friendly.

Left panel shows the eye of a hurricane. Right panel shows the striking similarity of the rotor or localized source of an arrhythmia in a patient with atrial fibrillation. Ablation targeted at these rotors or "eyes of the storm" successfully terminated and eliminated atrial fibrillation in the CONFRIM trial. Photo credit: UCSD/UCLA.
New Technology Improves Heart Rhythm Treatment CONFIRM study results point to a doubling of success in treating heart rhythm disorder
Researchers from UC San Diego, the University of California Los Angeles and Indiana University report having found, for the first time, that atrial fibrillation or irregular heart rhythms is caused by small electrical sources within the heart, in the form of electrical spinning tops ("rotors") or focal beats. Importantly, they found a way of detecting these key sources, then precisely targeting them for therapy that can shut them down in minutes with long lasting results. The team, which included cardiologists, physicists and bioengineers, report the findings in the July issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology as the CONFIRM trial (Conventional Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
With or Without Focal Impulse and Rotor Modulation).
Currently, many patients treated for atrial fibrillation with standard therapies will experience a recurrence due to the difficulty of finding the source of the arrhythmia. The new findings will help cardiologists better target and treat arrhythmias.
The CONFIRM study examined 107 patients with atrial fibrillation referred for a non-surgical catheter ablation procedure. During this procedure, doctors thread a wire with a metal-tipped catheter inside the body, from a vein in the groin, to apply heat to the area of the heart that is producing the arrhythmia to stop it.
In one group of patients, the team used the new technique to help perform precise burns, called Focal Impulse and Rotor Modulation (FIRM) that were aimed directly at the fundamental source of the arrhythmia – tiny electrical disturbances in the heart called rotors or focal sources that look like mini tornadoes or spinning tops.
Remarkably, this new procedure shut down atrial fibrillation or very significantly slowed it in 86 percent of patients in an average of only 2.5 minutes.

Today First Read brings you news of Thoma Bravo and TPG fundraisings, an insight into the PE financing of technology companies and a first for Facebook shares.
This week peHUB highlights positions at 3i, Goldman Sachs, Hudson Clean Energy Partners, JP Morgan, North Atlantic Capital and PIMCO.
Capita chief executive Paul Pindar is to step down in early 2014 after 26 years at the firm, writes Reuters. Pindar, who joined Capita from private equity house 3i, is leaving to establish a portfolio of private equity opportunities, the firm said.
Private equity investor 3i has bought out the co-owner of its ferry group Scandlines and finalised refinancing of existing debt facilities, writes Reuters. 3i bought Allianz Capital Partners' 49 percent stake for 165 million euros ($223 million). The closing of the transaction is expected to take place before the year end.
Private equity investor 3i has offered to buy the shares in Scandlines it does not already own, after an attempt to find a buyer for the ferry group failed earlier this summer, writes Reuters. 3i's bid for the 50 percent stake held by co-owner Allianz Capital Partners (ACP) values Scandlines at more than the 1.3 billion euros ($1.7 billion) that buyout group TPG offered for the whole company, writes Reuters.
AXA Private Equity has entered into exclusivity with 3i and TCR Capital to acquire Trescal. AXA Private Equity's proposed transaction values the company at approximately 250 million euros ($333.5 million).
British private equity group 3i's US debt management arm has raised a $500 million fund to invest in corporate debt and loans to back private equity buyouts, writes Reuters. The collateralised loan obligation fund, Jamestown II, is 3i Debt Management US's second since it was established in August last year as a joint venture with US fund manager WCAS Fraser Sullivan Investment Management.
British private equity group 3i said on Monday its head of Asia operations Anil Ahuja and a senior India executive will be leaving the company, writes Reuters. Samir Palod has been named head of the India team.
Find out what's been happening over the weekend with the latest links including the latest on Mithril Capital's first fund, 3i's head of Asia operations leaving the firm and NEA to open a Boston office within six months.
This morning find out what private equity's comeback plan is, if it indeed needs one, how much Boston biotech has raised in offerings and what the lowdown is on 3i's restructuring plans.
Hamilton Lane, the Bala Cynwyd, Penn.-based private equity asset management firm, has hired Paul Waller as a partner in its London office. Waller recently retired from 3i after 35 years.
Global private equity asset management firm Hamilton Lane is expanding its Europe-based presence with the addition of Paul Waller to the newly-created role of partner in its London office. Waller recently retired as a managing partner from 3i after 35 years and will focus primarily on client development and overall firm marketing initiatives.
This Wednesday morning First Read brings you a map of the New York PE cluster, reveals 3i is close to its second Brazilian deal and unveils some hungry food start-ups.
This week peHUB is highlighting a position at global investment management firm Partners Group. The firm is advertising on its website for a junior investment manager private equity based in São Paulo, Brazil.
3i-backed SLR Management, an environmental consultancy, has acquired GSS Environmental. GSS is an Australian provider of environmental consulting and project management services to clients in the mining, minerals, land development and natural resource sectors.
Private equity firm Waterland has attracted a number of potential buyers for Dutch trust and corporate management business Intertrust Group, writes Reuters. Blackstone, Carlyle and Cinven are buyout houses looking at the deal and could submit bids. Bridgepoint, CVC and 3i have also considered the deal, according to Reuters' sources.

The site administrator can also choose to allow authors to use their own associates id.
You can specify a particular product by its Amazon ASIN or ISBN number. Alternatively the plugin can automatically search Amazon using keywords related to your articles, to find the most suitable product.
Much of the output is customizable, for example you can choose whether or not to show ratings and reviews. The plugin handles signed Amazon requests, and allows choice of Amazon country marketplace services.
There are two ways to render the plugin in your Joomla articles: (1) by adding some simple code to embed the plugin. (2) you can simply select the section, categories or articles for which you wish to render it through the plugin manager. The plugin will then conduct a keyword search of the Amazon site using your article metatags, and append the product information to your articles
More Features
* compatible with Joomla Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3
* The plugin includes templating system that allows for template overriding of the plugin output
* translateable: the plugin uses language .ini files, plus many of the output labels can be set as parameters
**** News ****
Version 3.1.0 includes many additional features, including improved debugging output, many new Amazon tags and the ability to define your own templates and switch them through the plugin embedding code.
This plugin gives you the opportunity to create a custom store with amazon. Easily pick the products you would like to sale.
Customer support is AAA+ . I had a few questions and Fiona responded quickly and provided the information that was needed.
Excellent Job.
I would recommend getting this plugin for anyone who wants a simple way to productize their website with Amazon.
Thanks for the positive feedback. Your tip about using the ASIN as a meta tag is useful - I had not thought of that myself.
If you want to target a specific product you can also use embedding code with the plugin, but it is a less convenient way to do it.
You can also restrict the product search to specific categories, eg books as a way to restrict the results. There is a bit of trial and error I have found with Amazon search.

FAIRBANKS, AK-Some important baseball games for MAC teams. Last night at Arco Field the Lathrop Malemutes swept the Delta Junction Huskies winning 11-1 in game one and closing out game two here 12-1. In that second game. Wyatt Berg led the way going 2 for 3, a triple, and 3 RBI. Mekiah Stansel and Terrel Ford earned wins in the double header.
Next door West Valley faced the Eielson Ravens and it was all West Valley picking it up in the bottom the third with the Wolfpack up 11-0 and Casey Lewandosky brings a runner home with a single up the first base line. The Ravens would get on the board with an aggressive slide to home but it was 17-3 at the top of the fifth. The Wolfpack had three innings of at least five runs in their win.
The game of the night was North Pole and Monroe. The Patriots were down 8-0 going into the third then out come the rally sticks. 8 runs scored in the third to tie the game then they explode for 11 runs in the fifth inning. North Pole survived a grand slam by Scooter Bynum in the sixth inning and close out a high scoring game 19-14.
Tonight the Mid Alaska Conference title is up for grabs. Lathrop and West Valley both have a loss. If either team sweeps they'll win the MAC. If there is a split then the MAC title will depend on the outcome of the North Pole and West Valley game on Saturday.
Tonight's game one will be on Marlin Field and game two at 7:30 will be on Arco Field.

Using Essential Oils as an Aid to Stop Smoking
Smoking is a real problem for many people. They realize that smoking is very hard on your health but it can be really difficult to stop. If you really desire to quit, why not try essential oils as a support for stopping.
Stanley Burroughs " The Master Cleanser" book in his discussion of oil of clove (page 40) "For those who wish to quit smoking place, with your finger, a small amount on back of the tongue & you immediately lose your desire to smoke. This is an easy way if you really want to quit."
Gary Young told about a young man who wanted to quit smoking. He took the Cleansing Trio plus JuvaTone and was able to quit after just 3 days. Gary also mentioned that people who put a little Thieves on their finger and then touch their finger to their tongue before smoking, seemed to have an easier time stopping. Thieves has clove oil as one of the ingredients.
Essential Oils can also help relieve some of the emotional stress while you are attempting to quit smoking. Peace & Calming oil blend is one oil that is excellent for calming in the face of cravings and other stresses. Other essential oils that could be useful in reducing addictive behavior are, Thieves, Clove, Peppermint, Harmony, Joy, JuvaCleanse, JuvaFlex.
These can be inhaled or diffused, applied topically on the temples and back of the neck several times daily, or used as a warm compress over the liver.
Another tool for support in overcoming addictions is EFT. (Emotional Freedom Technique) EFT is one of my favorite tools for all kinds of things. I love to add a drop of essential oil to the EFT points as I tap on them.
Some of my favorite oil blends to use with EFT are: Motivation, Release, Harmony, Valor, Transformation, Highest Potential, Into the Future, Believe, Forgiveness, Peace & Calming. There are many other possibilities, even oil singles like frankincense and lavender. I generally use whatever my mood motivates me to do at that moment. Kind of an intuition thing. You'll find that essential oils really enhance the EFT process.
The Chinese wolfberry (Ningxia variety) is widely used in China as a liver tonic and detoxifier. NingXia Red would be an excellent support in this process. Other liver support products are Juvatone and JuvaCleanse oil blend.
Quitting smoking is definitely not an easy task but you may find some help with essential oils and EFT.
Clove Oil
Experiences using Essential Oils to Quit Smoking:
I quit smoking December 31, 2000. I was tired of being a smoker and smelling like an ashtray ... But ... it was also my best friend which comforted me when all went right and wrong in my life. I was frightened of living without my buddies and I was frightened of failing.
But guess what ...
I DID IT!! Clove oil and Peppermint oil dropped in my mouth (at different times throughout the day) helped with cravings. I used Clove most of the time, but when the craving overwhelmed me I put a drop of Peppermint on my tongue and took several deep breaths. It worked like a charm! Sulfurzyme every day and orange juice also helped.
Looking back, I should have cleansed during this time. I whole-heartedly believe it wouldn't have been as difficult if I had cleansed (including liver cleanse) while I was quitting. Set yourself up for SUCCESS ... cleanse while you quit!
You must truly want to quit or nothing will work for you. There are no quick potions to halt your emotional and physical cravings ... only these WONDERFUL OILS to lend assistance when you need them!! Peace and Calming, Hope, Joy, Forgiveness, Harmony, and Into the Future, are other oils you may find helpful while on your adventure to be smoke free! Peace and Calming is my favorite!
Be proud of yourself for wanting to quit!! You have taken
the first step, pat yourself on the back! Now take the next
step and find the strength deep within to give yourself the
gift of LIFE!!
* * *
I have heard Jean-Marie Freidman say that she used
Peace and Calming to help her successfully stop smoking.
She said she sniffed it constantly through out the day.
Best Wishes!

Analysis: Giants' 2013 Season Too Reminicent Of 2011

Sports Fan Insider
SAN FRANCISCO (Bleacher Report) — When the San Francisco Giants had to defend their World Series championship in 2011 for the first time since moving out West, they failed to even reach the postseason for a myriad of reasons.
So far in 2013, things are starting to unfold in an all too familiar way for Giants fans.
This year, while the injury bug hasn't bit nearly as hard, injuries are starting to happen that are eerily similar to 2011.
While the injuries are mounting, this isn't the only reason for the Giants' recent struggles. Pitching, which has been the backbone of the team for the past five seasons, has been preventing them from going on any sort of run this season.

"Fascinating Mindbending History."
Changes your Worldview. Here is a lot of the dark matter that our school history texts never mentioned. Forget kings and statesmen; here are the real players: the lowly worm, the tiny bacteria, the odd plant, the parasite and a whole cast of greedy, stupid, and heroic humans all playing their gigantic parts in interweaving threads of change, growth and destruction. You will never view history the same after this. And you will talk about it until your friends either kill you or read it themselves.
1491- the same astonishing kind of information looking backwards from 1492. What was really here in the American Continent.
"Sprawling and Engrossing"
We loved this book. Follett is a straight forward and hugely inventive story teller. The characters are on the broad end but totally engaging. It is wonderful to have history tied in with human lives you care about, made up or not. Familiar and not familiar events from World War I are mixed in with infidelity, loyalty, class, bravery, stupidity and love of Russian, German, English, and American characters. And Welsh, lest we forget. Talk of " the sweep of history". John Lee populates this world with individual voices that become instantly recognizable. He is a wizard. I am crushed that Book 2 is not done yet. I will be first in line in 2012 when Audible puts it out.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Obama has a new campaign slogan: "Forward."
Obama's re-election team unveiled its new motto in a video released Monday morning. The seven-minute video begins by recalling the grim state of the nation's economy when he took office, then ticks through what the campaign says are the President's accomplishments, both on the economy and other issues.
The campaign also uses the video to target congressional Republicans, saying The President had to overcome GOP obstruction on Capitol Hill in order to pass legislation.
The video tries to make the case for his re-election by saying there is still more work to do going forward.
The campaign says the video will be played for supporters attending the president's first re-election rallies Saturday in Ohio and Virginia.

Bubbles, Human Judgment, and Expert Opinion
AbstractResearch in psychology and behavioral finance is surveyed for evidence to what extent experts such as professional investment managers or endowment trustees may behave in such a way as to help perpetuate speculative bubbles in financial markets. This paper discusses scholarly psychological literature on the representativeness heuristic, overconfidence, attentional anomalies, self-esteem, conformity pressures, salience and justification for insights into weaknesses in expert opinion. The role of the prudent person standard and the news media in influencing experts is considered. The relevance of the literature on testing of the efficient markets theory is discussed.

The squadron's initial insignia was approved by CNO on 26 March 1968. The design centered on a bull was selected to symbolize the spirit, pride and mission of the unit. The Bulls current insignia was based on the Schlitz Malt Liquor logo. Over the years, the size of the testicles has been changed several times. After the Tailhook scandal, the testicles were removed completely from the logo for a time. Nickname: Bulls, 1968–present.
VA-37 was established as an A-7 Corsair II squadron on July 1, 1966. After training with VA-174 in the operation of the A-7 Corsair II from Jul–Nov 1967, VA-37 became operational in 1967, deploying aboard the USS Kitty Hawk.
In Sep 1970, VA-37 was embarked on USS Saratoga (CV-60) when fighting erupted between Palestinian forces and the Jordanian Army, and was directed to operate in the eastern Mediterranean in response to this crisis. On 29 Sep 1970, VA-37 participated in an air power demonstration for President Richard Nixon during his two day visit to Saratoga while she steamed in the Med. From June to October 1971, VA-37 participated in the test and evaluation of the new CV concept during the Saratoga's deployment to the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea. The CV concept involved combining the capabilities of the attack and antisubmarine carriers (CVA and CVS) into a single ship.
The Bulls deployed twice to Yankee Station in support of combat operations during the Vietnam War. On 1 Aug 1972, a Bull A-7A Corsair II was used to establish a sonobuoy field in an anchorage area near the island of Hon Nieu, off the coast of North Vietnam - the first time an A-7 had ever been used to drop sonobuoys.
In 1973, the squadron received their first A-7E, a more advanced version of the plane. They made seven cruises with this plane in the 1970s and early 1980s, including responding to regional crises in the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean.
In June 1982, USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67), with VA-37 embarked, took station off the coast of Lebanon after Israel invaded that country. In June 1984, the squadron's primary mission was changed to close air support in preparation for its deployment to MCAS Iwakuni as part of the Marine Corps Unit Deployment Program. The deployment of the two Navy attack squadrons was designed to test the interoperability of the Marine Corps and Navy.
In December 1984, VA-37 deployed to MCAS Iwakuni and relieved VA-105. While deployed to Iwakuni, the squadron was detached to Yechon, Korea, to participate in exercise Team Spirit 85. This was the first time a Navy carrier-based squadron had deployed in field conditions since World War II.
In April 1988, VA-37 deployed with Carrier Air Wing Six (CVW-6) on board the USS Forrestal (CV-59) to the North Arabian Sea via the Suez Canal in support of America's Earnest Will operations in the region. The squadron spent 108 consecutive days at sea before the USS Forrestal (CV-59) anchored at its first liberty port, Naples Italy.
During the 90s, the Bulls deployed aboard USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67), USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69), USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), and USS Enterprise (CVN-65).
Following the invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, several Bulls were deployed with VA-72 in support of Operation Desert Shield.
On October 31, 1990, the Bulls flew their last official sortie in the A-7E Corsair II. This ended a 25-year association with the "Harley of the Fleet" in which over 115,000 flight hours and 25,000 arrestments were flown. On 28 Nov 1990, VA-37 was redesignated VFA-37 and began flying the F/A-18 Hornet. From October 1992 to April 1993, the Bulls deployed to the Mediterranean Sea and were key participants in Operation Provide Comfort in northern Iraq and Operation Provide Promise in the airspace near the former Yugoslavia.
In 1994 the squadron flew missions over Iraq in support of Operation Southern Watch and later over Bosnia in support of Operation Deny Flight. The Bulls also participated in major exercises with the Kuwaitis, Saudis, and Israelis, as well as with many NATO allies.
In November 1996, the Bulls flew in support of Operation Southern Watch and Operation Deliberate Guard over Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The Bulls deployed again in November 1998. After four weeks of participating in OSW, the order was issued for Operation Desert Fox in Iraq. They also flew missions over the former Yugoslavia in Operation Deliberate Force.
The Bulls relocated from Naval Air Station Cecil Field, Florida, to NAS Oceana, Virginia in July 1999.
The next major deployment for the Bulls was the maiden voyage of the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) in 2000.
In December 2002 VFA-37 deployed for their second cruise aboard the Truman. On 19 March 2003, TEAM BULL participated in combat operations in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). While flying from the eastern Mediterranean Sea, the Bulls participated in the "shock and awe" campaign in Southern Iraq before shifting focus to assisting U.S. Forces in Northern Iraq. By the end of a successful 30-day air campaign in OIF, the Bulls had flown 252 combat sorties over Iraq. The squadron returned to Virginia on Memorial Day 2003.
VFA-37 deployed to the Persian Gulf and flew combat missions in support of Iraqi Freedom again from October 2004 to April 2005 from Harry S. Truman. In the spring of 2006, VFA-37 transferred to Carrier Air Wing Eight for seven months to cover for VFA-213 as they transitioned to the F/A-18F.
The squadron deployed on Truman in November 2007 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, returning to Oceana on 4 June 2008. While deployed, they dropped a total of 10 t (22,000 lb) of ordnance.[1]
VFA-37 again deployed onboard Harry S. Truman to the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean from 21 May to 20 December 2010 and since 22 July 2013.[2]

Just got off the phone with Don Waddell following the second day of the draft. He said he was pleased with how everything went. The Thrashers are still thrilled with getting Evander Kane Friday in the first round. They added eight more players Saturday.
Here are the highlights:
The two wingers they got in the second round – Carl Klingberg and Jeremy Morin – were listed as first-rounders on the Thrashers draft board. Waddell called them steals – along with sixth-rounder Jimmy Bubnick and seventh rounder Levko Koper. Waddell said the Thrashers had them listed as second-rounders on their draft board. Klingsberg will continue playing in Sweden for a couple of years and Morin will go to the OHL.
Thrashers also picked up a couple of extra draft picks – this year and next year. Waddell said the Thrashers will have two third-rounders and two fifth-rounders in 2010. They could be used in upcoming trades.
Waddell also said a lot of groundwork has been laid for those upcoming trades. He said he would pursue those deals over the next three or four days. I think something is going to happen soon.
Stay tuned.
Finally, I really enjoyed meeting many of you at the draft party at T.J.'s Friday. It was a very good time and I enjoyed talking in-depth to many of you. Hope we can do it again sometime.

"I guess what bothers me most about DW's comments is that the Thrashers had guys who went in the 6th and 7th rounds identified as 2nd rounders. Are our scouts really that bad??"
I also clued into that… I suppose time will tell.
June 29th, 2009
8:28 am
LOL…. gotta love the internet…. where everybody can be a 6′6″ Bad@ss.
Sounds like the same "badass" who wanted to fight on the Hockeybuzz site last year… he was 6′4″ 240lbs.
LAC… I'm afraid I don't care about you that much… How about a more gentleman's bet? Any time you want to put your IP Address on the table for a public vote, I'm game. We'll let the regulars vote on who goes… loser gets blocked.
Certainly if my opinions are not respected here, I wouldn't want to stick around… I'd rather be "respected" than merely "tolerated".
June 29th, 2009

"I suppose time will tell."
I think the scouts have had enough time to show how talented they are, and it's arguable that they're anything more than average. One hope I have for Dudley is that his passion for scouting and player development will positively impact the structure of the scouting department. If they start drafting differently, that's fine, but it's hard for me to think that many of them have been employed as long as Waddell and none have been discarded for better parts.
June 29th, 2009
8:59 am
Waddell's comments about improving via trade rather than via free agency are making me think he was going to be searching for victims of a potential cap squeeze (assuming the cap was going to drop). It's not dropping, but are there any teams out there that have to move guys? I don't know of any, beyond the Wings not being able to re-sign Hoss. Am I missing a club that is under the gun here?
June 29th, 2009
9:24 am
Bob… hard to say… it's not always about the Salary Cap ceiling… some teams might want to get back to a respectable budget of $46 or $48 million.
You also have to keep in mind the number of players under contract so far… the salary numbers you see don't reflect a full roster… take a look at San Jose on this list for example.
June 29th, 2009
10:01 am
Bob Philly is now over the cap with the addition of Pronger (guess which contract they'd like to jettison ). Boston is also in a pinch, which is why Kessel has essentially become trade bait. Calgary will run into some problems if they manage to convince Bouwmeester to sign and possibly even if they don't. San Jose might find re-signing a full roster challenging as well, but I guess that depends on how much overhauling Wilson decides to so.
Just so long as Waddell stays away from the idiot center contracts signed two seasons ago by Philly and NYR.
June 29th, 2009
10:26 am
Sara… certainly no way Briere's waiving that NTC now. Why would anyone voluntarily leave that team now with Chris Pronger there?
June 29th, 2009
10:33 am
**Just so long as Waddell stays away from the idiot center contracts signed two seasons ago by Philly and NYR**
I agree 100% with that sentiment Sara! Let them suffer cap wise for spending foolish and throwing off the market by signing guys who had no business getting that kind of contract. Although we almost did the same with Campbell's deal last year, but bottom line that's Chicago's problem now.
June 29th, 2009
10:40 am
According to Spector, Detroit is opting for Howard as back-up next season and letting Ty Conklin walk… that could hurt any market we have for Hedberg or Pavelec.
I'd expect Conklin to end up in Columbus.
June 29th, 2009
10:50 am
It will be a mistake trading Pavs, though DW is in a tough spot. He will be rightly criticized either way he chooses to go. He has fielded calls on our two best goalies since last year. The market should be for Lehtonen. Hedberg should be the backup to Pavs. Hokie, do you not understand value of trades ? Lehtonen has more value than Pavs and obviously Moose. Kovalchuk wants some help, you have to give to get. Trading Pavs will not bring in the player trading the oft injured Lehtonen will. I say we keep Pavs, suffer the growing pains, and move forward instead of still waiting on Kari to prove he can stay healthy.
June 29th, 2009
11:03 am
San Jose has been shopping Clowe due to the aforementioned salary issues. He's an RFA who is due a raise from last season's $1.6M. Interestingly enough, he's a power forward right winger who had 52 points last season (it should be noted that was on the President's Trophy team)…sounds to me like he could be a possible target, though I don't know enough about him to say he'd compliment Kovalchuk's line.
I wouldn't mind Kovalchuk-Little-Clowe.
June 29th, 2009
11:19 am
goalie trades — Don't you think Kovalchuk would notice that there's a gaping hole in goal just because he has a new linemate? Moving your best goalie with no suitable replacement (Pavelec isn't ready yet, or at least hasn't proven himself to be) is worse than filling that top line talent with second line players. Lehtonen has more value, but I feel losing him hurts the team more immediately (no matter the return) than keeping him does.
Of course, if we're talking someone like Spezza for Lehtonen I'd say do it and let Pavelec learn the hard way. I just wouldn't expect much to change in the wins column and the negotiations with Kovalchuk will be just as difficult.
June 29th, 2009
11:23 am
goalie trades… I'd prefer to keep Lehtonen and Pavelec… I don't think we need to trade either of them to get what we need on Defense. I'm not concerned about "getting anything back" for Hedberg. I just want to move forward with two young goalies.
June 29th, 2009
11:31 am
Chris…Crabb is UFA VI because he is older than 25 years of age.
June 29th, 2009
11:50 am
If we're not going to trade either goalie, I want to send Weeks packing and put Hedberg behind our bench.
Hell, I want to see that anyway. Hedberg is grade-A coaching material.
June 29th, 2009
11:55 am
I think the scouts have had enough time to show how talented they are, and it's arguable that they're anything more than average.
I gotta think the majority of what they look at is "average".
After a certain point, you gotta look at someone like Lane Manson and say, "if I can just teach that guy how to skate better, work on his positioning, he might develop into something".
3 years later… "eh, he sucks, but it was worth the try. Looks like the puck-movers Tom Gilbert and James Wisneiwski were the right call."
Wanna see something funny… look at the Rangers 2002 draft. Look at the number of NHL games played.
June 29th, 2009
12:03 pm
Yes, and if you subtract Lehtonen (lottery pick) they had a better draft year than Atlanta. Prucha was a lucky pick in round 8, but he's outplayed Slater, Crabb and Oystrick combined (funny that Crabb was drafted by New York and played his NHL games with Atlanta).
June 29th, 2009
12:53 pm
And they drafted Crabb before Prucha.
June 29th, 2009
1:08 pm
What's the point of that statement?
June 29th, 2009
1:17 pm
Post-draft analysis from ESPN.com:
Atlanta Thrashers: They will never be a salary-cap team, but that doesn't mean economics won't play a significant role in how they proceed, especially with star winger Ilya Kovalchuk set to become an unrestricted free agent next year. But the Thrashers continued on that slow road back to respectability, and perhaps even relevance, with what one rival GM described as "a terrific draft."
GM Don Waddell told ESPN.com on Saturday that their top three picks — Evander Kane, Carl Klingberg and Jeremy Morin — were all potential first-round picks in the Thrashers' draft mockup, and they got Klingberg at No. 34 and Morin at 45.
Kane, the fourth overall pick, is considered a keeper, and if he continues to add bulk (his father is a boxing/fitness trainer), Waddell said the talented center from the Vancouver Giants could be on the team's roster in the fall.
The Thrashers also likely will be interested in adding a top-four defenseman and no doubt will look at the availability of Toronto blueliner Tomas Kaberle.
June 29th, 2009
2:17 pm
Ranallo… that it's a crap shoot… the Rangers valued Crabb higher than Prucha and look who had the better career up to now.

Hokie — I don't disagree, and haven't been trying to imply I do. I stated that Prucha was a "lucky" pick, because not often does a team draft an NHL caliber player in the 8th round. My point was that their "luck" in that draft was more successful than the rest of the Thrashers draft for that year, with the obvious exception of the lottery pick Atlanta "earned".
I'm just saying that looking back at the 2002 draft leaves a lot to be desired after Lehtonen was picked.
But I would bet the Rangers GM wasn't silly enough to state that Prucha was "a second round pick on our draft board" shortly after the conclusion of that draft.
June 29th, 2009

Conklin will go to Boston to back up the Bruins and end up playing in another Winter Classic (Edmonton, Pittsburgh, Detroit).

Waddell says more than he needs to sometimes… I don't think he needed to "qualify" his picks to the fans, but maybe then again… he does.

Studio bosses have commissioned dozens of remakes of classic movies in recent years, sparking claims from critics that screenwriters have run out of ideas.
But Carpenter is adamant directors prefer to re-shoot old titles because it's an easy way of luring film fans away from the internet and into cinemas.
He tells The New Review, ""Hollywood hasn't run out of ideas. The problem is that all this cable TV, iPad use and social networking has taken attention away from movies, and it's hard to punch through all that clutter.
""So studios bring back titles that people recognise, because it's such a big risk these days doing something new.""

Love it! The self healing foam is awesome! Should last for a very long time with just using field tips.
Nice target. I like the fact that there is no plastic for those stray arrows to get stuck. Just used practice tips so far but all is great. Much happier with this target than some of the others I have owned through the years. I can use this with the crossbow, compound, practice and field tips. What more could you need from a target.
Good target. I have been using the Buck Target with both practice points and broad heads shot from a crossbow. No negative comments from me. I recommend the Rinehart brand, because of durability and ease of arrow removal.
Very well made product for the price.

The initial objective of this thesis was to provide an understanding of tile Quebec question. It begins by postulating that it is primarily a national question in that it involves the historical struggle of Quebecers towards achieving their own independent nation-state. It goes on to analyze the various social, political, economic, cultural and ideological forces which affect the Quebec case, from the perspective of class analysis.
The second major objective of the thesis was to provide an understanding of the nature of the Parti Québécois, and its role in the present conjuncture of relations in Quebec. On a theoretical level we addressed the "new petite bourgeoisie problematic" in neo-Marxist literature, asking: "What is the nature of the new petite bourgeoisie in contemporary capitalist society, and specifically in Quebec?"
We argued that the P.Q. is a party of the new petite bourgeoisie in Quebec and its program -- sovereignty-association-is primarily designed to satisfy the interests of this class, and not the interests of the Quebec collectivity. The implication is that the significance of its programme can only be conjunctural. Sovereignty-association, if successfully achieved, would bring about an ephemeral, symbolic independence for the Quebec nation; at best an incomplete solution to the Quebec national question.

I think the majority of people completely missed the point (including Mr. Schramm)
First off, it's not his definition of religion - it's a widely accepted definition of religion within academics. I think it's important to note that he's not pushing the idea of WoW as a religion but rather as a context in which to look at something.
There's a difference between saying something "is a religion" and something "can be viewed as a religion." The latter does not necessitate the former. Based on Schramm's brief synopsis here, he has a fairly decent case of view WoW *as a religion* not that WoW is a religion.
No need to reiterate what was side in the blog post, but there are numerous instances to support what he was saying. It shows strong analytical thinking and being able to abstract outside the box.
Calling him stupid and a moron does nothing but show your own intellectual shortcomings.

StubHub, the official ticket marketplace of Everton, is excited to be starting a second season together providing fans with a safe and convenient place to buy and sell Everton match tickets. The world's largest ticket marketplace enables season card holders to resell their seats for home matches they cannot attend, at a price they set.
StubHub is fully integrated with Everton ; if tickets sell, StubHub then sends the ticket info to the club so they can remove the match tickets from the seller's season ticket card and issue paper tickets for the buyer to pick up at the stadium.
On StubHub:
• Season card holders can list their seat for home matches they cannot attend, at a price they set. (Neither the club nor StubHub will ever dictate prices or list tickets for sale)
• Everton supporters can then buy these tickets
• StubHub handle all customer support issues, no dealing directly with sellers/buyers – that's StubHub's job
• Every order is backed by the StubHub FanProtect™ Guarantee
Here's some of the fantastic feedback we've already received about the partnership and StubHub:
"When I read about the Club's deal with StubHub last summer, it was the first time since moving away from Wirral that buying a Season Ticket became economically viable." – Neil Roberts, Season Ticket holder. Read More.
"Brilliant. Select ticket, pick it up at the ground. Easy. Will use this service again, no question." – Keith, Evertonian
"Really handy tool! It saves tickets from being unused. Sometimes I cannot travel due to work commitments, so it's a great resource to sell on."- Stephen Fawdry, Season Ticket holder
"Very impressed. Very quick and easy." – Justin, Evertonian
In addition to being the official ticket marketplace of Everton, StubHub provides Everton supporters with the chance to win seat upgrades and VIP experiences over the course of the season. In fact, StubHub has already started giving Everton supporters fantastic experiences.
Last season saw some lucky StubHub winners at Goodison Park; during the Christmas period, StubHub was busy granting Christmas wishes and making dreams come true for Everton fans. Rob Millington and Rachel Fitzsimmons were the lucky winners of StubHub's November "sell your seat" promotion.
Not only did they ensure their seats didn't go empty by selling them on StubHub for a game they couldn't attend, but Rob and Rachel both won hospitality tickets to the Everton v Chelsea match on 30 December.
Rachel, a season ticket holder in the Upper Bullens, said "I had a great experience thanks to StubHub, and my son even got his photograph taken with Fellaini who was passing through the lounge!"

Construct a sophisticated scaffolding system provide safe access to the work areas, which were located over 100 stories above street level. Kemperol waterproofing membrane was installed, and Kemperdur colored coating was applied to match the color of the existing metalwork. The flexibility of the Kemperol membrane allowed the fabrication of tight flashings around all antenna penetrations and decorative metal fabrications.
