I've been saying for quite some time that the long, drawn-out race that the Democratic candidates apparently have in front of them is bad for their long-term prospects: McCain will have all the time he needs to unify the Republicans, raise money, hone his message, and rest up, all while the Democrats are bashing each other over the head.
But Brad Plumer at TNR has the opposite take:

In an effort to see which Democratic candidate exceeded expectations on Super Tuesday, I grabbed the most recent polling numbers from pollster.com and actual vote totals from the New York Times. The result is this chart, which shows that the percentage of the vote that Obama actually received exceeded the percentage of the vote polling said he would receive in every state except Illinois (where expectations for BHO were in the stratosphere). In some instances, Obama shattered expectations: he did 11.8 percent better that polling suggested in Alabama, 8.5 percent better in Connecticut, 15 percent better in Georgia, and 12 percent better in Oklahoma.
But Clinton did better as well, which means that some portion of both candidates' gains can be attributed to voters who told pollsters there were undecided but chose a candidate on election day. Clinton picked up slightly fewer of these voters, and in three states, underperformed by a moderate amount.
On average, Obama beat the polls by 6.5 percent and Clinton beat them by 2.4 percent. States that had insufficient polling were not included on this chart. Those states include one that went for Clinton (Arkansas), four that went for Obama (Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, and Kansas), and one that is still undecided (New Mexico).

When it was revealed last week that Ann Coulter had not been invited to speak at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference, it seemed, at first glance, like a principled move, a decisive refutation of the nasty, degrading speech that is Coulter's trademark. At CPAC 2007 Coulter famously used the word "faggot" in reference to John Edwards.
But at least one of the 6,000 conservatives expected to attend the D. C. conference isn't buying it. "It's all a fraud," the conservative activist and longtime Coulter critic Daniel Borchers told me yesterday. "I think the entire thing shows a lack of character and integrity within the leadership of CPAC." Borchers, who founded the Christian conservative newsletter BrotherWatch, is angry not only that Coulter will be attending CPAC this year, but also that, despite no official invitation from CPAC organizers, she will be delivering a speech during the conference—and that speech will be given in the same hotel ballroom as several CPAC events and is being put on by five organizations who are also cosponsors of CPAC.
In other words, Ann Coulter is speaking at CPAC this year.

Alaska Senator Ted Stevens is a busy guy, what with the FBI raiding his house and all. But recently he took time out of his regular pork-barrel business to return to the practice of law. Stevens is a Harvard Law school grad, and was a practicing lawyer before he was elected to Congress in 1964. He recently dusted off his law books and wrote an amicus brief on behalf of Alaska fisherpeople who sued Exxon after a drunk sea captain crashed its oil tanker, the Valdez, into Prince William Sound in 1989, spilling 11 million gallons of crude oil into the delicate ecosystem.
An Alaska jury hit Exxon with a $5 billion verdict in 1994, but Exxon hasn't paid a dime of it. Instead, it has appealed the case for so long that 8,000 of the original class members in the lawsuit have since died without seeing the case resolved, according to the Anchorage Daily News.In the latest installment of the long-running litigation, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed in October to hear the case.
Sen. Stevens has written an amicus brief in support of the plaintiffs, drawing on his vast knowledge of maritime law that includes a law review article he wrote back in 1950, which is cited in the brief, according to the Wall Street Journal. Stevens told the Journal that he didn't think the justices would actually look up his article, but that he wanted to establish that he had some expertise in the area. "I don't imagine the justices look at these amicus briefs that much," he said.

CHICAGO, IL — By the time that Super Tuesday finally arrived, the mystery was long gone. The day that had loomed for so long had lost its melodramatic make-or-break status for the Democrats. Hours before the vote-counting began, the top strategists for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were pitching the same line: the results would not be decisive and whoever ended up the winner would walk away with merely a small edge in delegates. And as the vote tallies started to come in, both campaigns declared non-defeat. That is, they each claimed to have done well. "Encouraging results," Mark Penn, Clinton's chief strategist said. "We're having a very strong night," said David Plouffe, Obama's campaign manager. Both were right.
The two campaigns had plenty of data to spin as the results materialized. Clinton triumphed in California (by an overwhelming margin), Massachusetts (where a big turnout in women negated that Kennedy magic), Arizona, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Arkansas. Obama won in Alabama, Alaska, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Delaware, Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, North Dakota, Utah, Idaho, and Missouri. Last-minute deciders, Penn said, went for Clinton. "Momentum is turning," he insisted. Plouffe noted that Obama was competitive in regions across the nation, that he won the caucus states (showing the campaign's organizational talent), and that he captured states that did not permit independents to vote (Delaware and Connecticut). Clinton was the Queen of California. Obama was the Master of Missouri.
But all that really mattered was the final delegate count (which was not easy to calculate in the hours after the polls shut down but was likely to be close)--and the fact that neither candidate was knocked out of the race. Despite the wipeout in California, Obama's senior aides appeared pleased, as they spoke with reporters at his election night celebration in Chicago. Pre-election polls had shown him trailing in most Super Tuesday states, and their goal had been to survive the day. They did. "The nominating battle will continue well past today's voting," Howard Wolfson, Clinton's communications director, told reporters. Only weeks ago, Clinton strategists were hoping this mega-primary day would end the race in their favor. Now they were talking about the coming slog, as if it had always been inevitable.
Super Tuesday did not live up to its do-or-die reputation because the Democratic field had been downsized to two strong contenders who push rather different memes. Clinton presents herself as the tried-and-tested hard-worker who can get stuff done. Obama offers himself as a transformative figure who can--due to his power to inspire--bring about change. It's math versus music. And after seven years of George W. Bush--during which the music was awful and the math was bad--Democrats crave both proven competence and uplifting inspiration. For many voters, it's a tough either/or. Super Tuesday demonstrated there is no consensus position within the party among its voters.
Josh HarkinsonFeb. 6, 2008 3:10 AM
SAN JOSE, CA--The Obama war room here is packing up and shutting down. With 31 percent of ballots counted in Santa Clara County, Clinton leads Obama 57 to 35 percent. Assuming the spread holds (and it might not), this is a blow to the Obama campaign. This district was supposed to be competitive--a place where Obama might cut into Clinton's lead among Hispanics. To some extent, he has. A few weeks ago Clinton was winning Hispanic votes by a 3-to-1 margin; exit polls tonight show the gap narrowing to roughly 2 to 1. But they also show Latinos comprising 29 percent of the Democratic electorate--a whopping 50 percent increase since the primaries of 2006. This may well be the story of the night. With the results incomplete and the campaigns heading home, though, it's still hard to say. "If you give me a call tomorrow," Obama volunteer Peter Allen told me as he downed his last beer of the night, "I'll probably be able to give you a better and more sober assessment." And so it goes as well for the press.

WASHINGTON D.C. — The conventional wisdom that began emerging yesterday evening, even before all of Super Tuesday's votes had been cast, was that Mike Huckabee's wins in the South were something of a coup for the former Arkansas Governor. Chris Matthews called Huckabee's five Southern victories he won zero states in the rest of the country a "stunning development." The New York Times wrote that Huckabee "revived his candidacy with a surprise string of wins in the South." Mitt Romney didn't reveal any shock publicly, but must have felt it in his more private moments: he had spent weeks treating Huckabee like a sideshow.
One has to wonder what these folks were thinking. Let's review the facts. Mitt Romney is a loafer-wearing country clubber from Massachusetts whose family is from Michigan. He has never served in the military and is a member of the Mormon faith. John McCain is a southwestern Senator who has called evangelical leaders "agents of intolerance." He is notoriously unsuccessful among the most conservative members of his party, most of whom reside in the South. Mike Huckabee on the other hand is a former Southern governor and former Baptist preacher. He is the strongest and most consistent advocate for "values voters" left in the presidential race.
These facts alone should have made Huckabee the obvious frontrunner in the states he won Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, and West Virginia (he lost Missouri, a border state, to John McCain by one percentage point). In fact, in my discussion of how the rules of awarding delegates hurt Mitt Romney, I pointed out that if Romney took a close second to McCain in the moderate coastal states and he took a close second to Huckabee in Southern states, he would win almost no delegates. Though I was incorrect to assume Romney would contend seriously in many of these states, I was correct to assume that Huckabee would lock up the South.

NEW YORK, NYIt wasn't supposed to happen like this. Not long ago Hillary Clinton seemed a shoo-in for the Democratic nomination. She led in all the early states and dominated the national polls. If you had to bet then, you might have assumed her Super Tuesday speech would have marked her victory over her Democratic rivals.
It didn't turn out that way. When Clinton arrived at the Grand Ballroom in the New Yorker hotel tonight, everyone in the room knew that the Democratic race would go on. Hillary might not have known it before she began her speech shortly before 11 p.m., but minutes later it became clear that another candidate would win the majority of the Super Tuesday nominating contests and take close to half of the delegates at stake.

Turns out the ballot shortages that kept 14 polls open till 10pm in California's Alameda County, affected at least four of the state's largest counties. Election officials in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, and Santa Clara were all scrambling to accommodate crossover Independent voters who could vote in the Democratic contest. The "provisional measures" taken included printing new ballots and asking voters to hand in their sample ballots (their scratch paper, really). Still others had to fill out "blank paper ballots," whatever that means. In Santa Clara County the heavy turnout resulted in a mad rush to photocopy and distribute about 6,000 ballots. (Kinkos is loving the ill-prepared machine that is our voting system.)

|5 things we learned: Very good player Loui Eriksson's hat trick leads Bruins past Wild
|11.19.15 at 9:40 pm ET
In a season that's featured plenty of bad, no Bruins player has been as good as Loui Eriksson. The 30-year-old provided another reminder on Thursday night.
Eriksson picked up his first hat trick as a Bruin as he scored Boston's second, third and fourth goals in a 4-2 win over the Wild. It took Eriksson only 16:37 to score his three goals.
While it was Eriksson's first three-goal showing with the B's, it was also his third multi-goal performance in 18 games this season. Eriksson now leads the Bruins with nine goals on the season, one ahead of linemate David Krejci's eight.
With Thursday's performance, it's probably worth noting again that Eriksson is in the final year of a contract that carries a $4.25 million cap hit. Teams don't get better by losing their best players, so the Bruins would be wise to do their best to try and retain the player.
Here are four more things we learned Thursday night:
Rookie callup Frank Vatrano went hard into the endboards on his first shift of the second period and did not return to the game. Vatrano went turned at the last second as he was set to absorb a hit from Nate Prosser, resulting in him appearing to hit the boards with his right shoulder taking the brunt of the impact. Claude Julien told reporters following the game that Vatrano had an upper-body injury.
Vatrano had taken warmups with David Krejci and Loui Eriksson, but he also saw time with Ryan Spooner and Brett Connolly in the first period, taking only four shifts in the first 20 minutes.
If Vatrano is to miss any time, the Bruins would likely have to recall Max Talbot from Providence, as they currently have only 12 forwards on their roster and Providence forwards Alexander Khokhlachev, Seth Griffith and Brian Ferlin are injured.
The Bruins did a very un-Bruins thing Thursday by killing penalties successfully.
After entering the night with the worst penalty kill in the league, the B's managed to kill off all three of Minnesota's power plays, including a Brad Marchand hooking penalty at 15:53 of the third period that saw the Wild pull Devan Dubnyk and go 6-on-4.
By going 3-for-3 on the PK, the Bruins killed off all their penalties in a game for just the third time this season, not counting the season-opener in which the Jets never went on the power play.
Matt Beleskey hasn't been a standout player to this point with the B's, but it's certainly not for lack of effort. Beleskey works hard and he plays as physical a game he can, as is evidenced by the fact that he leads the team in hits (which, to remind everyone, is the worst and dumbest stat in sports because it's an anti-possession stat, but I digress).
On Thursday, Beleskey's toughness was tested in his first fight with the Bruins. The former Duck passed with flying colors, pounding Brett Bulmer to the ice in short order 5:34 into the game. Beleskey had drawn a tripping penalty on Bulmer earlier in the period.
Kevan Miller sat out with an upper-body injury Thursday, allowing Colin Miller to re-enter the lineup after a two game stint in the press box.
Miller had an up-and-down night, as he started the rush that resulted in Eriksson's third goal but also played a part in a goal against. He didn't catch a pass from Zdeno Chara at the Bruins' blue line in the second period, resulting in a turnover. That led to Nino Niederreiter feeding Mikko Koivu, whose shot yielded a rebound that Jason Zucker buried past Jonas Gustavsson just over five minutes into the second period for Minnesota's first goal.
|Claude Julien 'disappointed' by no-goal ruling, but says he won't hesitate to use challenge in future
|10.10.15 at 11:24 pm ET
Goalie interference? Uh, okay… pic.twitter.com/KpkX8qykna
' Pete Blackburn (@PeteBlackburn) October 11, 2015
Claude Julien and the Bruins got their first taste of the NHL's new coach's challenge Saturday night, and they came away from the experience more confused than anything.
The play and review seemed pretty straightforward. The refs waved off a Loui Eriksson goal because Patrice Bergeron made contact with Carey Price. However, Bergeron was clearly pushed into Price by Alexei Emelin, meaning the goal should have been allowed.
It was understandable that the refs missed it in real time; hockey is a fast game and sometimes you just don't catch that push. But once Julien decided to use his challenge, it seemed like a pretty safe bet that the no-goal call would be overturned.
Instead, the refs upheld the call on the ice. Why they upheld it remains a mystery, with the league's official statement saying simply that the review "confirmed that Boston's Patrice Bergeron made incidental contact with Montreal goaltender Carey Price before the puck crossed the goal line, preventing Price from doing his job in the crease." No mention of Emelin's shove. No mention of the fact that Bergeron actually made an effort to stay out of the crease while getting pushed.
Julien said he was "disappointed" with the call and didn't understand why it wasn't a goal.
"I really felt, and I looked at it in between periods, and I said how can that not be a goal when the guy has both feet outside the blue paint and is doing everything he can to stay out of his way and is really trying to fight off the guy trying to push him in," Julien said. "So, I thought that warranted obviously a goal, but for some reason they saw it some other way."
Goalie interference plays are one of two things coaches can challenge (with goals scored on a potential offsides being the other), and Julien said it's his understanding that whether or not a player was pushed into the goalie is part of what can be reviewed, which would rule out the possibility that the refs could only look at Bergeron's contact with Price and not how he got there.
Bergeron couldn't make sense of the ruling either, as he also thought that being pushed into Price should've negated the interference.
"That was my understanding of the rule," Bergeron said. "They thought otherwise and we can't really control that, I guess. … It happens fast, so I guess I understood that maybe he thought that I pushed into the goalie. But then on the replay, I thought it was clear that I got pushed into him. My understanding was that if I get pushed into the goalie and I'm working hard to get out of there, it's fine."
Julien said that despite the fact that this challenge didn't go the way he expected, he wouldn't hesitate to challenge a similar situation in the future.
"That's a thing you've got to be careful of — you can't [be discouraged]," Julien said. "In our minds, the people that looked at it in the first place all felt it should have been a goal, and I went back to my office in between periods and I felt it should have been a goal. But if you're afraid to call those then you may miss an opportunity to either get a goal called for you or the other way around, a goal rescinded from what you think was interference."
The disallowed goal certainly isn't the reason the Bruins lost Saturday. More turnovers, more defensive mistakes and an inability to get the puck out of their own zone had a lot more to do with Saturday night's 4-2 loss than that one call. But there's no denying that it was a turning point of sorts, especially since the Canadiens scored just over a minute later to make it 3-0.
|Bruins will experiment with Loui Eriksson, Jimmy Hayes as potential left wings
|09.17.15 at 2:37 pm ET
Loui Eriksson will have a new line as he takes on life without Carl Soderberg. There's also a good chance he'll have a new (old) position.
A left-shot right wing, Eriksson may see quite a bit of time at left wing due to a large group of right wings that includes Eriksson, David Pastrnak, Brett Connolly and Jimmy Hayes. The same goes for Hayes, a right shot who can play left wing.
Both Eriksson and Hayes have experience playing the left side, though both are years removed from doing it. Eriksson was used at left wing during his time with the Stars, while Hayes played left wing a couple years back in Chicago.
Don Sweeney said Thursday that the team will experiment with both players in training camp as it tries to find line combinations.
"We're excited with Loui having the versatility that he does to play both positions," Sweeney said. 'Clearly, the production was back for him last year. We need to have that with him, so we need to put him in situations with other guys, and we're going to play around with the combination piece of that. I think Jimmy Hayes will probably play both sides. We're going to experiment a little bit with guys at different positions."
It's likely at least one of Eriksson or Hayes will be a left wing this season. There's something of a dropoff at the position after Brad Marchand and Matt Beleskey, though center Chris Kelly could play there if he doesn't center the fourth line.
|Report: Bruins shopping Dennis Seidenberg, Loui Eriksson
|02.18.15 at 8:25 am ET
Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos reported Tuesday night that the Bruins are considering trading defenseman Dennis Seidenberg and right wing Loui Eriksson prior to the March 2 trade deadline, but a source with knowledge of the situation told WEEI.com Wednesday that the B's haven't talked to either player about potentially waiving their no-trade clauses.
"Nothing but rumors," the source said of Kypreos' report.
Kypreos said the motivation behind trading both players is to free up cap space for a potential addition this season or to have more space in the offseason when they have to re-sign a number of players.
"They still want to add a depth forward, a guy that can give them a bit of a presence, so what does that mean? They've got to still move some salary out and the name I'm hearing now is Dennis Seidenberg," Kypreos said. "He's been a great guy for them the last few years, really solidified himself there with Chara the last few years as a pair, but he still has $12 million to go on a contract, and he's not that well. Something's got to give, maybe they've got to move him out before they can move someone else."
Kypreos went on to say that Eriksson's name is "out there" in trade discussions as well.
Seidenberg, 33, is in the first year of a four-year, $16 million deal, while the 29-year-old Eriksson is signed through next season at a $4.25 million cap hit.

|5 things we learned as Bruins suffer regulation loss to Rangers
|02.04.15 at 10:30 pm ET
A rough second period cost the Bruins Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden, as they relinquished a lead en route to a 3-2 loss to the Rangers.
The defeat was just the Bruins' second regulation loss in the last 15 games, but there could be more ahead with a difficult back-to-back stretch coming up when the B's host the Islanders and Canadiens this weekend at TD Garden.
Tuukka Rask started his ninth consecutive game and had to deal with multiple odd-man rushes from the Rangers. The Bruins blew a bit of an opportunity, as Henrik Lundqvist missed the game with an upper-body injury. Cam Talbot only had to face 20 shots, however, and he stopped 18.
The one positive as the Bruins await the Islanders and Habs — both teams are currently riding losing streaks. The Islanders have dropped three straight while the Canadiens are coming off back-to-back losses.
Here are four more things we learned Wednesday:
The last thing a team wants to do against a fast opponent is let players slip past them. That happened all too often as the Bruins tried to slow the speedy Rangers.
After Brad Marchand failed to get the puck in deep and turned it over to Kevin Klein, Rick Nash took a feed from Martin St. Louis and sprinted past Adam McQuaid, walking in on Rask all alone and backhanding his 32nd goal of the season past the Boston netminder.
Later in the period, Chris Kreider got behind Torey Krug and Kevan Miller, but was denied by Rask. The Bruins had to deal with another odd-man rush when Kevin Hayes got the puck out of the defensive zone and over Krug's stick, racing to the puck in the neutral zone to create a 2-on-1 with Carl Hagelin against Miller. The Bruins survived it, as Hayes' pass for Hagelin in front was stopped by Rask.
Among the Bruins' needs prior to the trade deadline is a steady top-four defenseman to solidify their second pairing. Assuming the pairs stay the same, Boston's current second pairing of Seidenberg-McQuaid might not fare as well as the Ference-Boychuk postseason pair of years past.
The Seidenberg-McQuaid pair was split up late in the first period (the duo allowed the Nash goal), with Claude Julien going to Chara-McQuaid and Seidenberg-Hamilton. Julien went back to his normal pairings for the second period, only to see Seidenberg and McQuaid allow their second goal of the game when Derick Brassard scored on a snap shot from the high slot.
Though McQuaid made a nice play to get a stick on a Rangers scoring bid in the third that would have made it a two-goal game, both he and Seidenberg finished the night with rough numbers. McQuaid and Seidenberg finished the game with Corsi's of minus-14 and minus-13, respectively.
|Loui Eriksson practices, questionable for Saturday vs. Flyers
|01.09.15 at 1:24 pm ET
Loui Eriksson is questionable for Saturday's game against the Flyers after participating in Friday's practice.
Eriksson, who appeared to suffer a right hand/wrist injury on a slash from Penguins defenseman Robert Bortuzzo Wednesday in Pittsburgh, skated before practice Friday but was very light in his shooting. After the practice, Claude Julien said that Eriksson is still dealing with swelling that will need to subside before he plays.
The lines in practice remained the same as they were in Thursday's win over the Devils:
Marchand – Krejci – Pastrnak
Lucic - Bergeron – Paille
Kelly – Soderberg – Smith
Caron - Campbell – Cunningham
Chara – Hamilton
Seidenberg – McQuaid
Krug – Miller

|Loui Eriksson out with injury, David Pastrnak returns to lineup for Bruins
|01.08.15 at 6:08 pm ET
Bruins right wing Loui Eriksson will miss Thursday's game with an apparent right hand/wrist injury suffered on a second-period slash from Robert Bortuzzo Wednesday.
Eriksson returned for a shift and missed the rest of the second period after the play before returning for the start of the third. He did not play the second half of the third period and missed all of overtime. Claude Julien said the injury is not expected to keep Eriksson out for long.
Eriksson's absence leaves the Bruins with just five players who will have played in all 42 games of the season as of Wednesday: Dougie Hamilton, Carl Soderberg, Dennis Seidenberg, Reilly Smith and Daniel Paille.
Julien confirmed that David Pastrnak is in Boston's lineup Thursday against the Devils. The rookie is expected to play right wing on David Krejci's line with Milan Lucic.

Ranchi, Feb 16 (PTI) For India''s No 1 swimmer Vir DhawalKhade, "Swimming is a business."
The fastest swimmer of the country and the ''Golden'' boyof the swimming events at the 34th National Games here,Maharashtra''s Khade is very clear about his perception aboutthe sport.
After winning gold in the 50m freestyle with record timeof 23.08s here on Tuesday, Khade was forthright about how helooked at why swimming for him was a lucrative option.
"I am into swimming for money. To pursue any sportnowadays is an expensive proposition for which you do need alot of money," a candid Khare told PTI in an interview.
Supporting the players who represent other states forfinancial reasons, Khade questioned,"What is wrong inrepresenting a state or a club, which pays you more money?"
"I am from Maharashtra but I am playing for my state onlybecause they have promised a good deal for me," he added.
Asked as to what is the monetary benefit he would get forwinning a gold at the National Games, he said that theMaharashtra government has promised a job and Rs 5 lakh forthe gold medallists, Rs 3 lakh for a silver and Rs 2 lakh forwinning a bronze.
The only son of Vikram Khade, who was a former basketballplayer and now a jaggery businessman, Khade has won threegold and two bronze medals till now at the 34th national gamesand he is expecting atleast six more gold medals in differentindividual events.
Talking about the scope of swimming in the country, theBCom part-I student of Kolhapur said that in the last fewyears there has been a drastic change in the swimming arena ofthe country.
Citing his own example, he said that at the age of about15 years in 2007 when he qualified for the Bijing Olympicsothers were inspired and the very next year just before thestart of the Olympics three more boys qualified for it.
Khade says that his main aim is to atleast reach thesemifinals in the 50m and 100m freestyle events at the LondonOlympics.

Breaking News: Garth Brooks
All of Garth Brooks concert dates at Croke Park in Dublin have been cancelled.
The promoter of the concerts issued a statement saying they've exhausted every avenue to try to save the shows. "We are very disappointed for the 400,000 fans who purchased tickets for the Garth Brooks Comeback Special Event."
The cancellation of the five shows has a far-reaching effect, not only for the Irish fans who have purchased tickets, but for fans who were coming to the shows from other countries.
Last week, the city council granted the promoter only three permits, forcing the cancellation of two shows. Garth issued a statement saying that he would do five shows or none at all, insisting that choosing which shows to do would be like choosing "one child over another." The shows were scheduled for July 25th through 29th.
The promoter is traveling to Oklahoma in a last-ditch effort to get Garth to reconsider. However, plans are under way to refund fans who have purchased tickets.

Using that criterion, you should feel the same about : OpenEJB - codehaus project with one despot, David Blevins TranQL - codehaus project with one despot, Jeremy ActiveMQ - codehaus project with one despot, James (ok, there's also Stewie, but he's been inactive...)

To TranQL's credit, it's added more committers (it has 10 total) over the last year than Geronimo has, which is more than half of OpenEJBs number, and has much smaller scope. So instead of focusing on specific projects (I know that you are having a debate w/ Jeremy about a patch you offered, and I'm not trying to discount that but stick to the subject at hand) what about focusing on risk and how we mitigate such risk? I see * community risk * technology risk * IP risk I don't believe we have tech or IP risk now at the moment. But it's been a subject I've been pondering a lot because of Harmony - if it's appropriate to use the same model of a "cloud" of associated but independent projects given the IP stakes are so high. Actually, I don't think that the IP stakes are higher at Harmony, but rather we tend not to focus on them so much. I'd like to fix that here, but that's for another thread. > > Dain, would you consider either substantially enlarging the > community of despots for GBean.org, bringing it to Apache, or > merging it > into Geronimo (as a branch or sandbox module for the present, I > presume)? > I think that the code should be brought to the project here.

The Prime Minister told activists he did not underestimate the scale of the difficulties besetting the Party.
But he insisted the next General Election would be decided by policies rather than current controversies and appealed to them to keep faith with the New Labour agenda.
He said: "In politics at the top you get used to the periodic storms and I don't, incidentally, underestimate the volume of this one."
Mr Blair acknowledged that it could be "hard" to remain focused as the storms raged.
He added: "But however buffeted, it should not change our course or our confidence."
Appearing relaxed in an open-neck shirt in front of Labour's National Policy Forum, Mr Blair indicated that he had plenty to do before he stood down, but gave no indication about when that might be.
He said that he was confident about what the Labour Party had achieved over the last 10 years and what it could still achieve in the next 10.
He went on: "The fourth election will not be decided by current events, but it will be about whether we have the dynamism, the energy, the vision and above all clear well thought out policies for the future of our country.
"It will be about who understands the modern world best and who can change it for the better. It will be about changes that endure not controversies that pass."

Looking for an affordable ignition coil
Hey folks,
I've got two coils with hairline fractures at the top, which I presume are causing my is fire and rough idle issues. I'm looking at $131.95 per coil, but wanted feedback on where to find them for much less? Any recommendations?
2007 ses
I assume you have the 2.0 dohc? Autozone lists them for only 89.99 a piece. That saves you 40 bucks per.
Rockauto.com shows some for 27 bucks up to 80 bucks, but theres not much of a description on most of them. But at 27 bucks a pop, I think I'd take a chance on those.
Ford Part # 4M5G-12A366-BC
Motorcraft DG507
Also fitted to some Mazda vehicles.
Moved to MK1 chat area since your not having a technical problem just asking where to get some coils. I highly recommend Rockauto.
Money well spent and a great site too!
Where the hell was you guys when I got into a argument over rackauto. BTW the Motorcraft unit is known to put out more power than a MSD unit.
Thanks for the advise all.
Absolutely, my quote was from Canadian Tire. I was told by the guys at CT that the Ford coils are notorius for causing problems, hence I'd prefer to try a different manufacturer.
Nothing wrong with the Ford coils they just want to sell you some crap at a considerable markup. Most people never have issues with the OEM Ford coils during the entire lifetime of the car.

I needed a spare car key in case I locked mine in the car. However, the price of a programmed key was over $100. So instead, I took my key to the local hardware store and got a regular key made, put it inside a magnetic box, and hooked it under the car.
Keep an extra key to your house and/or car on the end of your dog leash. When you take your pet for a walk in the neighborhood, or in the park, you will not have to worry about locking yourself out accidentally. You also won't have to worry about losing your keys if they are in your pocket when your dog starts running, you won't have to take your purse, your keys will always be there, handy and useful!
By Chichijunk from Cleveland, OH
That is a good idea! But please remember to take your Drivers Licenses with you for ID in case something happens to you!!
My uncle taught me a good way to hide a key, under the vinyl on the house. He had a spot on his vinyl siding that he put a extra key in case they were locked out, or if someone had to get in for emergency purposes. He told very few of us in the family where it was. There is a little lip on the vinyl siding that held the key in place.
By Lindaspy from South Beloit, IL
My father used to keep a spare house key in a small plastic bag hidden behind a piece of loose cement in the gap in a brick wall. When he went to use it one day after the key had been in the wall for many years, it wouldn't fit in the lock as the key had corroded so badly. He had to break a small window to get in!
My neighbor and I exchanged house keys so that we could enter each other's homes in case of an emergency or to feed pets while one of us is on vacation, etc.
Simply tie some mono filament fishing line to your key and slip in into one of your house siding openings so only the filament is exposed. Pull it out when needed!
I am forever going outside to my laundry room only to return and find the door has locked itself and I am locked outside.
I put an extra key for my house and my car in the outside fuse box and I then lock it with a combination lock. To remember the combination, I put it down as a phone number and put the number in my storage unit.
I painted the inside of a mayonaise jar with white craft paint. I keep it in the refrigerator in the garage to store our house keys in. Works great and no more fumbling.
We all have our favorite key hiding places for our own use. However, to tell the location of a well-hidden key for a 911 call may not be easy, especially by the person who may be in need of emergency personnel.
Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
Does anyone know of a creative, secure way to store an extra house key outside? We don't want to do something obvious like put it under the door mat, but we want it as close to the door as we can. I know you can buy fake-looking rocks to put a key in, but I was wondering if anyone has any free ideas! Thanks!
I would say the most important thing is to place it somewhere that you could retrieve the key without being seen. Once a person sees you get your key, they will know where it is. I love the windchime idea, but I am too paranoid and that is pretty high profile. (Maybe if there were 500 keys to choose... hmmm...)
We have buried a key in a small tupperware container, but that can be frustrating when a year passes and you have to dig in the dirt but are not exactly sure where.
I am thinking of buying a few key vaults, and swapping keys with neighbors. They would have my key vault and I would have theirs. You could get several neighbors a vault. Then, if a person were to break into one, it would be a guessing game on which house it opened. If he were targeting your house, he would have to break into several vaults to find your key. I bet they would give up on finding a key in that scenario.
What about a dryer vent, covered in lint? The dog's house or collar is a great idea for those with outdoor dogs that might be unapproachable to an intruder. How about the zipper on the cushion of patio furniture? Or hiding the key to a hidden lock box? (Can you say scavenger hunt?) If you have many flower pots, bird feeders, lawn ornaments, etc, use a different one each time you use the key.
If you have a lot of paving stones or trees or something all together, pick one to start at and count in a certain direction for the number of letters in a password or phrase. Then you can just tell family and friends when the passphrase changes, or (getting more creative...) you could have a decorative wall hanging or yard ornament with a quotation on it, and change it to a different one when you need to change which rock your key is under.
Make it too difficult for them to be found, and change your hiding place as soon as you use it. Cycle through many hiding places. At least if you forget which one it is hidden in, you will find it eventually.
I remember my father locked himself out of the house once, as I was with him at the time. He said "I have a spare key hidden in the cement joint in the wall in a plastic bag. I haven't used it before". When he tried to use it it so was crusted up with rust it would not fit in the lock. It had been there at least ten years, and we had to wait for mother to return home to let us in!
I use a paver that is part of a small walkway I have in my grassy area to hide a spare key. What I do is wrap my key in plastic wrap and coat it with Vaseline to retard corrosion and rust. Then put the key in a old film canister and dig a small hole under the paver in the dirt. No one has ever found it but we know where it is if we get locked out.
We put a hook under the hand rail on our deck to hang the key on and put it towards the back side of the rail where it is not visible at all.
There are many suggestions as to where to hide keys around the house, but where can you hide a car key for times when you lock yourself out of your car? It must be somewhere on the car, able to be retrieved when you're away from home. Under the hood is not good, for most cars release hood from inside the car. I have a magnetic box for this purpose, but can't figure where to hide it that a thief won't think of right away.
By Cay
Have a keyless enter put on your car
Put it behind your license plate, put a key ring on the key and put the bolt threw the ring. it only takes a coin to remove the bolt that holds the plate on.
I bought one of those extra large magnetic key hiders on ebay and hid it under my car near the drivers side. Its easy for me to get to and it doesn't fall off because of the large magnetic on the bottom. I also keep an extra house key in there too, just in case i get locked out of my house. I wouldn't be without that box. It cost a small fortune to hare a locksmith.
If you lose your wallet, not only do they have your address, but also a key!

A funny man. But he's oversensative, humourless and jumps to conclusions. Reportedly he walked out on his contract because one of his white employees LAUGHED at HIS pixie skit. Dave jumped to the conclusion that it was a racist laugh, and thus flaked on his friends, employees, fans and show to go to Africa, because thats obviously the non-ironic thing to do for a black man pissed off at stereotypes.
Neal, Dave's writing partner later claimed that thats just how that particular white employee always laughs.

One of the greatest comedians of our time. Dave Chappelle once hosted a show back in 2004 on Comdy Central called, Chappelle's Show. The show featured many skits, lots having to do with black and / or white people, and sometimes celebrities. However, after the 2nd season, the show sadly ended, the world then declined into depression. People thought their lives were ruined, because they would no longer hear the angel-like voice of Dave Chappelle any longer. Then something called, YouTube came along and everyone began posting Dave Chappelle clips, and the world was saved.
Dave Chappelle is my favorite comedian, and his voice is incredible.

Quite possibly the most over-rated man in the history of comedy. He has caused the overuse of stupid lines such as, "I'm Rick James bitch." Sure it was funny to hear the FIRST time but that was all, I mean please people give it up.

The affordable care act is the law. Eligible people in my family have signed up for insurance coverage to start Jan 1st. Why would you not want your fellow citizens to have access to affordable health care, not subject to pre-existing conditions and not subject to cancellation unilaterally by insurance companies. It just amazes me how so many people do not recognize what their best interests are.
#13 Dec 11, 2013
It surprises me how many people are stupid when it comes to the meat and potatoes of the Affordable Care Act. Most people that can't afford insurance qualified for a medical card. Those that are just above it can't afford this new plan. The monthly premium on the low end of the plan is around $90 a month. The deductible is over 5k. Do you really think people can afford that? I like how you left out that bit of information.
They will still cripple a family if there is a illness that requires a hospital stay. If you think this is in peoples best interests, I'm glad your party didn't win. We don't need any more forward thinking from your party!

You apparently are one of those people who prefer to have cable TV and a new car instead of providing health insurance for your family. No doubt you go to the emergency room instead of a convenient care when you need treatment for a health problem. That raises the cost of health care for everyone. The cost of my family health insurance has gone up every year for ever. With what I am saving next year on the cost of health insurance with Obamacare I can now afford to have cable TV and a new car.

What amazes me is people like Brock, the libs in congress, and Oblamo, think they know what is in other peoples best interest. It is not in anyones best interest to have Insurance mandates, higher premiums, higher deductibles, and less Doctors all caused by the passage of Oblamocare. people that wanted insurance and could afford it already had policies. Others had access to healthcare through the Hospitals who are not allowed to turn people away due to ability to pay. Thanks to Oblamocare, millions have now lost their policies, and they have only had 365,000 sign up for new policies of Oblamocare websites (mostly for medicare programs). Therefore the net effect is millions more are without insurance thanks to Oblamocare.
#18 Dec 12, 2013
Just like the elected democrats you think you know everything about everyone or what they want/need. I'm a Vet, so my health care is free. Rest of the family is covered thru work. With what you are saving you are paying in a higher deductible. Once again you are proving you know nothing that is in the ACA (Obamacare). Run along until you read up on it and know what you are talking about.
BTW....Sorry you couldn't afford a new car and cable until you got the higher deductible. Maybe you should hold off on both in case you get hospitalized and can't afford the deductible and they repossess your car and cut off the cable you can now afford.
#19 Dec 12, 2013

Apparently you're not. Couldn't afford cable or a new car. You ought to go on welfare and collect food stamps like most democrats. They are always looking for a free hand out. Then you can ride around in a new ride and get your cable. I'm use to paying for all you liberals anyway. One more isn't going to hurt.

Yes, individually you and I survived George W Bush and individually you and I may survive Obama; however, will our country, collectively and as a whole, survive another 3 years of Obama? I've been to more than one rodeo, lived successfully through several Presidents and their administrations, but the Obama administration is without a doubt the most divisive presidency to come down the pike during my lifetime. He's managed to divide our country into two ill-defined groups: the wealthy vs the poor. No one can really define in dollar terms exactly what 'wealthy' is nor can anyone really define in dollar terms what 'poor' means. Who are these people who are in the 1%, are they my KY neighbors who have a nice house w/an inground pool or is the 1% dependent upon where one lives? What may be considered wealthy in Western KY, would be lower-middle class in California or the suburbs of NYC. Obama's ideas are better suited for large urban areas, such as Chicago.

The division in this country started way before Obama. The country was divided during W's too. You clearly are misinformed. It's funny how much the government grew under W and the excessive spending and no one said a word. There was so much money that went unaccounted for during W's administration with war spending. Clearly, you lack any intellectual understanding about the 1 percent. The 1 percent owns 80 percent of the stock market. The 1 percent has an average yearly income of 1.3 million and a net worth exceeding 16 million.

yet under Oblamo the income gap has widened. Why aren't you libs outraged by that fact? You want to join the 1%, buy stock....work harder, earn some income, start a business....

and before you libs come on here denying the fact:
here's proof:
The gap between rich and poor that President Barack Obama yesterday called a fundamental threat to the American dream has grown during his administration.
The richest 10 percent of Americans earned a larger share of income last year than at any time since 1917, according to Emmanuel Saez, an economist at the University of California at Berkeley. Those in the top one-tenth of income distribution earned at least $146,000 in 2012, almost 12 times what those in the bottom tenth made, Census Bureau data show.

In pretty much any election the issue of healthcare (and often healthcare reform) is a pretty hot potato.
So I'm always interested to find out what the general levels of satisfaction with healthcare provided.
Given it is an election year in the US to some extent it will be a referendum on Obamacare. Have you say about that here.
So it would be great if you would take the poll below to help us get a feel.
What would be as useful is if you would be able to use the comments box to share what you consider to be the biggest problem facing healthcare at the moment.
Thanks in advance.

Equivalent Mass
Atoms combine with each other to form chemical compounds, such that the elements are always present in definite proportions by mass and this property can be used to make chemically different molecules with different mass, equal.
But how can we equate such elements? It's like balancing two different compounds which are chemically dissimilar, which is similar to adding \(2\) oranges and \(3\) apples!
But in the world of chemistry nothing is impossible. If you don't get it here's something which might help.
Consider the following compounds,
\(\ce{HCl}\) : \(1\) grams of Hydrogen reacts with \(35.5\) grams of Chlorine.
\(\ce{AgCl}\): \(108\) grams of Silver reacts with \(35.5\) grams of Chlorine.
From the above compounds, we can deduce that:
\[\text{1g of }\ce{H2}\equiv \text{108g of }\ce{Ag}\]
Just as we do in modular arithmetic! And we see that the above congruence just indicates that the combining capacities(or Valency) of each of those atoms can be related to each other. And if you observe, we can see that the valency of Hydrogen equals the valency of Silver. Let us now try to define equivalent mass:
All elements combine with each other according to the laws of chemical combination, and the number of parts by which an element combines with \(1\) part by mass of Hydrogen or \(8\) parts by mass of Oxygen or \(35.5\) parts by mass of Chlorine or one gram equivalent of any other element is the value of the Equivalent mass of the element.
Calculating Equivalent Mass
Equivalent mass, as said earlier, depends upon the Valency of the element. And the formula to calculate the equivalent mass of an element is given by:
\[\text{Equivalent Mass}=\dfrac{\text{Atomic Mass}}{\text{Valency}}\]
Sometimes we if we don't know the valency of the atom we cannot find the equivalent mass. But then, we have different solutions to get rid of this problem. We have many methods to Determine the equivalent mass of an element, we will discuss in detail three most popular methods:
1. Hydrogen Displacement Method
We know that Metals react with Acids to produce Hydrogen. This method just uses this fact to calculate the Equivalent Mass. Here when some mass of an element reacts with an acid to produce some amount of Hydrogen gas under Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP).
Next we formulate the mass of the Metal required to displace \(11200\text{ cm}^3\) of Hydrogen, which is nothing but \(1g\) of Hydrogen as we learnt in mole concept. Thus we arrive at this formula:
\[\text{Equivalent Mass}=\dfrac{\text{Mass of the Metal}\times 11200}{\text{Volume of Hydrogen Liberated(STP)}}\]
\(3\) grams of Metal reacts with \(\ce{dil_.HCl}\) and liberates \(2800\text{cm}^3\) of Hydrogen gas at STP. Calculate the Equivalent Mass of the Metal.
Solition: Plugging in the above given values in the previous Equation we get: \[\begin{align} \text{Equivalent Mass}&=\dfrac{3\times 11200}{2800}\\ &=12 \end{align}\]
2. Oxide Method
We have studied that Metals react with Oxygen and produce Metal Oxides, and the Oxide method evaluates the mass of the Metal Oxide generated when some mass of a metal readily reacts with Oxygen. Then, as we need a standard ratio, we determine the Mass of the Metal that combines with \(8g\) of Oxygen, which in turn is the Equivalent Mass of the Metal:
\[\text{Equivalent Mass}=\dfrac{\text{Mass of the Metal}\times 8}{\text{Mass of Oxygen in the Oxide}}\]
The mass of a Metal in it's oxide is \(75\%\) of the mass of the whole compound. Calculate it's Equivalent Mass.
Let us assume that the mass of the Metal Oxide is \(x\), thus the mass of the Metal would be \(75x/100\) and the mass of Oxygen in it would be \(25x/100\) thus, the equivalent mass can be found out by using the *oxide method:
\[\begin{align} \text{Equivalent Mass}&=\dfrac{75x/100\times 8}{25x/100}\\ &=\dfrac{75\times 8}{25}\\ &= 24 \end{align}\]
3. Chloride Method
This is another alternative method used when the above two methods aren't compatible to calculate the Equivalent Mass. According to this method, when some mass of an element reacts with Chlorine to form the respective Chloride, we calculate the ratio at which a metal combines with \(35.5g\) of Chlorine which gives us the Equivalent Mass:
\[\text{Equivalent Mass}=\dfrac{\text{Mass of the Metal}\times 35.5}{\text{Mass of Chlorine in the Chloride}}\]
\(54g\) of Silver reacts with \(\ce{HNO3}\) to form Silver Nitrate, later a displacement reaction takes place when \(\ce{NaCl}\) is added to \(\ce{AgNO3}\) to form \(71.75g\) of \(\ce{AgCl}\). Find the Equivalent Mass of Silver.
The mass of \(\ce{AgCl}\) formed is \(71.75g\) thus the amount of Chlorine inside it is \(71.75-54=17.75g\). Thus Plugging these values in the Chloride equation we get:
\[\begin{align} \text{Equivalent Mass}&=\dfrac{54\times 35.5}{17.75}\\ &=54\times 2\\ &=108 \end{align}\]
Finding Equivalent Masses of Compounds
So far we have deduced the methods to find the equivalent mass of elements, now let us take this a step further and find out the methods to formulate the Equivalent Mass of Compounds.
1. Equivalent Mass of Acids
An acid as we know, is a compound which contains one or more Hydrogen atoms that can be replaced by a metal. And the number of Hydrogen atoms which can be replaced by a metal in a acid gives us the Basicity of the compound. Let's have a look at some examples:
Find the basicity of the following Acids: \(\ce{H2SO4}\), \(\ce{HCl}\), \(\ce{CH3COOH}\), \(\ce{HNO3}\).
\[\begin{align} 1.& \ \ \ce{H2SO4} &\longrightarrow \text{Has two replaceable Hydrogen atoms} &\rightarrow \text{Basicity = 2}\\ 2.& \ \ \ce{HCl} &\longrightarrow \text{Has one replaceable Hydrogen atom} &\rightarrow \text{Basicity = 1}\\ 3.& \ \ \ce{CH3COOH} &\longrightarrow \text{Has one replaceable Hydrogen atom} &\rightarrow \text{Basicity = 1}\\ 4.& \ \ \ce{HNO3} &\longrightarrow \text{Has one replaceable Hydrogen atom} &\rightarrow \text{Basicity = 1}\\ \end{align}\]
Observe that in the \(3^{\text{rd}}\) example, though we see there are \(4\) Hydrogen atoms only one is replaceable, as the other three are held together with some forces.
But what's the use of the Basicity? How is it related to the equivalent mass of an acid? We will look into it now. Note that the equivalent mass was related to the parts of Hydrogen which is replaceable, similarly, the equivalent mass of an acid can be related to the no. of Hydrogen atoms that can be replaced or simply to the Basicity of the acid. The relationship is as follows:
\[\text{Equivalent Mass of an Acid}=\dfrac{\text{Molecular Mass of Acid}}{\text{Basicity}}\]
Find the Equivalent Mass of Boric acid \(\ce{H3BO3}\).
As we have seen earlier, we need to find the number of replaceable Hydrogen atoms. We know Boric acid dissociates as follows:
\[\ce{H3BO3}+\ce{H2O}\rightarrow \ce{H4BO4-}+\ce{H+}\]
Thus it has only one replaceable Hydrogen atom, which means it's Basicity is \(1\). And we also know the molecular mass of Boric acid is \(62\). Hence the Equivalent Mass is:
\[\text{Equivalent Mass of }\ce{H3BO3}=\dfrac{62}{1}=62\]
2. Equivalent Mass of Bases
Let us now investigate the Equivalent Mass of the opposite compounds of acids, Bases. As we discussed about Basicity, here we will discuss something similar, you guessed it right Acidity. While this is not to be confused with what happens in your stomach it should also not be taken as the no. of replaceable Hydrogen atoms in a base.
Acidity of an atom is a bit different, it is the number of molecules of a monobasic acid(or an acid with Basicity \(1\)) required to completely neutralize one molecule of the base. And accordingly the Equivalent Mass of a base is given by the formula:
\[\text{Equivalent Mass of an Base}=\dfrac{\text{Molecular Mass of Base}}{\text{Acidity}}\]
Find the Equivalent Mass of Sodium Hydroxide \(\ce{NaOH}\).
Let us see how \(\ce{HCl}\) which is a monobasic acid reacts with \(\ce{NaOH}\):
\[\ce{NaOH}+\ce{HCl}\rightarrow \ce{NaCl + H2O}\]
Thus the number of molecules of \(\ce{HCl}\) required to completely neutralize one molecule of \(\ce{NaOH}\) is \(1\), thus the Acidity of Sodium Hydroxide is \(1\). The mass as we know is \(40\), thus we can compute the Equivalent Mass now:
\[\text{Equivalent Mass of NaOH}=\dfrac{40}{1}=40\]
3. Equivalent Mass of Salts
Finding the Equivalent Mass of salts are quite interesting, it's more like the reaction between the acids and bases. As such it is defined and can be calculated as follows: The Equivalent Mass of a salt uis defined as the mass of the salt formed when one equivalent of and acid is completely neutralized by one equivalent of a base.
For example, the reaction between \(\ce{HCl}\) and \(\ce{NaOH}\) gives rise to \(\ce{NaCl}\), in the following manner:
\[\ce{HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O}\]
See that the Equivalent Mass of \(\ce{HCl}=36.5\ce g\)(as it is monobasic), and the Equivalent Mass of \(\ce{NaOH}=40\ce g\)(as we calculated earlier, and the mass of \(\ce{NaCl}\) formed is \(58.5\ce g\). Thus the Equivalent Mass of the salt is \(58.5\ce g\) as one Equivalent of an acuid and a base have reacted to form the salt.
The formula to formulate the Equivalent Mass of salts is pretty complicated and the justification of it is beyond the scope of this wiki. But here is the general formula:
\[\text{Equivalent Mass of a Salt}=\dfrac{\text{Molecular Mass of the Salt}}{\text{Net positive charge of the cation/Net negative charge on the anion}}\]

Static and dynamic properties of superconducting vortices in a superconducting stripe with a periodic array of weakly-superconducting (or normal metal) regions are studied in the presence of external magnetic and electric fields. The time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory is used to describe the electronic transport, where the anisotropy is included through the spatially-dependent critical temperature Tc. Superconducting vortices penetrating into the weak-superconducting region with smaller Tc are more mobile than the ones in the strong superconducting regions. We observe periodic entrance and exit of vortices which reside in the weak link for some short interval. The mobility of the weakly-pinned vortices can be reduced by increasing the uniform applied magnetic field leading to distinct features in the voltage vs. magnetic field response of the system.

Typical Day
Open House
Sprouts, Seedlings, Saplings & Pinetrees spend their mornings and evenings with approximately 15 of their peers, grouped primarily by age. They are lovingly supported and cared for and under the supervision and direction of a handful of adult Friends -- one primary coordinator with 3 to 4 well qualified staff, which may include a High School Friend who is taking the Ministry With Children workshop.
Activities are planned individually by the coordinators and run the gamut from fabric arts to woodworking to instrument making to painting to just about anything you can imagine. They will be singing and dancing and playing outdoors, and even worship. Generally some of the activities are tied to the Gathering theme and are designed to introduce the children to Quaker Testimonies and values.
The children will be provided a nutritious snack, in the mornings, typically fresh locally grown fruit (when possible), fruit juice, cheese and crackers.
Children in these age groups must be signed in and out of group time each day by a responsible adult. You can rest easy knowing that your child's needs for fresh air, nutritious food and exercise are being met.
"We are very happy with the support, care, love, and activities that we witnessed here." Sprout parent
Help us prepare to give your child the best possible week by sharing with us:
- dietary needs
- joys
- struggles
- achievements
- challenges and/or
- recent significant changes in your child's life.

Feel free to comment on this bulletin board if you wish. Talk to you in the future.
Absolutely no problem, Jeremy. Cheers!
Hi, Jeremy. I'm just curious about why some users on this site are allowed to behave the way they do. I commented on an article you wrote in agreement with some of things you said and I was immediately harassed and insulted by another user. When I defended myself against his harassment, made some returning insults, and as I should have expected, he has only gotten worse and now has made what appears to be a threat saying "SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHO SHE IS DEALING WITH." Is there nothing that anyone here will do about this type of behavior. I have been reading other articles and can see I am not the only target of his irrational behavior. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2659503-novak-djokovics-quest-to-be-in-goat-discussion-hinges-on-2016-us-open-title
Scratch that it was in a different section I do beg your pardon
Nothing on Murray's historical win Jeremy. Not from anyone at BR why?
Hi Jeremy, Been awhile since we have exchanged thoughts.Hope you are well! Would love to have you share your insights & listen to my thoughts about my favorite tennis player, Novak!!!
Do you have access to my e-mail account? If so could we have a conversation using my e-mail? Would love to hear from you.
Thanks Jeremy, Debbie Crawley

Washington, May 14 (ANI): People with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma-who smoked, consumed alcohol or were obese before their cancer diagnosis-had poorer overall survival, as compared to patients who did not have these risk factors, a new study found.
The finding by researchers from Mayo Clinic in collaboration with six other U.S. institutions, was made after accounting for clinical and demographic factors, and also when considering only deaths due to this kind of lymphoma.
For example, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients with a 20-plus-year history of smoking had a 76 percent higher risk of death compared to never smokers; patients who consumed more than 43 grams of alcohol per week had a 55 percent higher risk of death compared to nondrinkers; and obese patients (defined as a body mass index of 30 or higher) had a 32 percent higher risk of death compared to patients with normal weight for their height.
While smoking and obesity had already been found to increase the risk of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, this is the first U.S. study to look at their role on survival after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, the researchers say.
For alcohol, the researchers found that use was associated with poorer survival, which is opposite of the effect for developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, where alcohol appears to lower risk.
The findings mirror conclusions found in three smaller studies, according to the study's lead investigator, Dr. James Cerhan.
These are the first data from North American patients, and the only study to simultaneously look at all three lifestyle factors, he said.
"This now raises the hypothesis that changing these behaviors after diagnosis might improve survival, but this needs to be tested in a clinical study. In the meantime, patients in active therapy should discuss any lifestyle changes with their health care provider. Long-term survivors outside of therapy should consider the general public health guidelines that recommend smoking cessation, moderate or no alcohol use, and attaining a healthy weight," he added.
"It is important to note that patients who had quit smoking 20 years or more before diagnosis had no higher risk of death than patients who had never smoked," said Cerhan.
The study was published in a recent online edition of Cancer. (ANI)
