"One reason it might not be happening is that politics is not a logical process always," said Robert Bixby, the director of the Concord Coalition, a Washington-based group promoting an end to deficit spending.
Like Rivlin, Bixby said fixing Social Security is not complicated.
But Bixby said if you're trying to get elected, the last thing you need is an opponent running around telling voters you want to reduce benefits and raise taxes, which is exactly what most agree needs to be done to ensure Social Security's solvency.
"It's like an easy layup for a political campaign to say 'my opponent will take away your Medicare or my opponent wants to destroy Social Security,' " Bixby said.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -No. 23 North Carolina (5-2) picked up two wins in men's tennis action at Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center on Saturday, handily defeating Navy and James Madison.
North Carolina easily put away Navy 4-0 in the late morning match. In the evening match, the Tar Heels trounced James Madison University 7-0.
The pairing of Maik Ulrich and Nelson Vick got the Tar Heels off to a fast start in doubles play by taking out Navy's pairing of Blake Daniel and Nicholas Gustche 8-3 at the No. 3 seed. Soon after, Brett Clark and William Parker clinched the doubles point for North Carolina at the No. 2 seed by defeating Navy's duo of Alex Gaines and Austin Jones 8-3. At the No. 1 seed, Esben Hess-Olesen and Oystein Steiro completed a sweep of the doubles matches for the Tar Heels, taking down Calvin Mark and Peter McDonald 7-4.
North Carolina carried their momentum into singles play. At the No. 3 seed, #102-ranked William Parker dismissed Navy's Austin Jones 6-3, 6-2. No. 57-rated Brett Clark found similar success, claiming a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Navy's Peter McDonald at No. 2 singles. Maik Ulrich sealed the match for North Carolina at No. 6 singles by defeating Alex Gaines 6-3, 6-2. Matches at the No. 1, 4, and 5 seeds were consequently suspended.
In the nightcap against the Dukes, North Carolina was led by the strong play of Nelson Vick and Maik Ulrich at the No. 2 seed in doubles play, as the duo cruised past James Madison's Malcolm Peace and Greg Vladimirsky 8-1. Andrew Gores and Oystein Steiro clinched the doubles point for the Tar Heels by edging James Madison's pairing of Bastien Russo and Florent Sentenac at the No. 3 seed, 8-6. The No. 1 doubles match was stopped with North Carolina's duo of William Parker and Brett Clark leading Ryan Pool and Robert Stirling by a score of 7-4.
Singles play yielded more positive results for the Tar Heels as the Tar Heels swept all six matches.
At the No. 5 seed, Taylor Meyer rolled to a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Maxi Branth. Maik Ulrich routed Bastien Russo 6-0, 6-4 at the No. 6 seed, and Oystein Steiro maintained North Carolina's momentum by beating Florent Sentenac 6-4, 6-1 at No. 4 singles. At the No. 2 seed, #57 Brett Clark took out James Madison's Greg Vladimirsky by a score of 6-0, 7-5. No. 102 William Parker escaped with a 6-1, 4-6, 6-0 win over Robert Stirling at the No. 3 seed after dropping the second set, and #58 Nelson Vick completed North Carolina's sweep with a 6-2, 7-5 victory at the No. 1 seed.
"I saw some good things, but I still see areas that we have to keep working on," said North Carolina head coach Sam Paul, "William Parker looked really strong even though he dropped a set. Taylor Meyer did a good for us today, [he won in] straight sets. So that was good, I'm happy for both of those guys."
The Tar Heels will be back in action on Sunday, Feb. 24, when they host UT-Chattanooga at 1 p.m. and North Carolina Central at 6:30 p.m. in another doubleheader.

Spring 2011: It Happened One Night
Vivienne Westwood (left), the godmother of punk-rock fashion, is being honored in a new retrospective at New York City's Museum at FIT. The narrowly focused exhibit, curated by graduate students Emma Kadar-Penner and Audrey Chaney, highlights the designer's earliest years of runway fashion, 1980 through 1989. The decade was bifurcated by the breakup of Westwood and her beloved partner in life and design, Malcolm McLaren. Those early years of solo design contain the seeds of the Westwood signatures that are still lighting up runways today.
Left: Westwood in Paris at her fall 2011 show.
The Vivienne Westwood story begins in 1971 in London, when Westwood and McLaren opened the boutique Let It Rock at 430 King's Road. One of the earliest pieces sold there was a T-shirt with chicken bones chained on to spell words like Rock and Perv. "That was a pretty shocking and innovative thing to do, using actual refuse and food objects on a shirt," says FIT co-curator Kadar-Penner. "But it fit in with everything they were trying to do, which was, to outsiders, extremely shocking and provocative. It was meant to challenge the establishment and challenge people's conventions."

The Human Genome Organisation
History, Purposes and Membership - Victor A. McKusick
The Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) was conceived in late April 1988, at the first meeting on genome mapping and sequencing at Cold Spring Harbor.
Yes, but the Human Genome Project did not come into existence until 1990, when the Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health presented the HUGO ideas to congress, which began the 15 year HGP.
"The Human Genome Project (HGP) refers to the international 13-year effort, formally begun in October 1990 and completed in 2003, to discover all the estimated 20,000-25,000 human genes and make them accessible for further biological study. Another project goal was to determine the complete sequence of the 3 billion DNA subunits (bases in the human genome). As part of the HGP, parallel studies were carried out on selected model organisms such as the bacterium E. coli and the mouse to help develop the technology and interpret human gene function. The DOE Human Genome Program and the NIH National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) together sponsored the U.S. Human Genome Project. "
Or if you really want to go in the way way back machine: http://www.genome.gov/25520329
"The Human Genome Project officialy begain in 1990. Beginning in December 1984, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and international groups had sponsored meetings to consider the feasibility and usefulness of mapping and sequencing the human genome. The DOE had become interested in studying the human genome as a way of aiding the detection of mutations that nuclear radiation might cause. Groups like the NIH and the Wellcome Trust in Britain had longstanding interest in understanding biology for the sake of advancing medicine.
In 1987, DOE proposed a Human Genome Initiative to Congress. Meanwhile, NIH had started funding occasional grants for genome projects. In 1988, an influential National Research Council report recommended a concerted program to map and sequence the human genome. Later that year, the U.S. Congress held hearings on the idea, and DOE and NIH joined forces on the project.
In 1990, DOE and NIH published a plan for the first five years of what was projected to be a 15-year project. The goals of the project included: mapping the human genome and eventually determining the sequence of all 3.2 billion letters in it; mapping and sequencing the genomes of other organisms important to the study of biology; developing technology for analyzing DNA; and studying the ethical, legal and social implications of genome research.

But I for one think you're crazy for taking the chance on splitting the vote when the other is already in the fog! Time will tell....
I knew it would be risky, but with strong submissions climbing the ranks, I wanted my shirt to be the best it could be. Hopefully the vote won't be split and the enthusiasm will carry over to both shirts. Again, thanks to everyone for the support.

Well, this week I drew 90% in photoshop then brought into illustrator to vector and clean it up. Sometimes I work only in illustrator (still learning the program) and I used to only use photoshop and convert everything into paths . . .
I'm still trying to figure out my style and also my technique.
You could argue that it started in any of these years, it doesn't really matter, I'm guessing the artist was born in 1988 and that's why he chose that year.

So, you are saying he must stick to animals lest he not win the derby? I think Cho wins/places in the derby each week off his name alone. Talent or not, he has fans, loyal fans at that. That being said, I'm not denying he has incredible drawing skills, but I think he could enter anything at this point, and it would still win/place in every derby. It always does. Even if it's a design that isn't very wearable. People will vote/buy just because Cho drew it and Cho seems to have a lot of fans. AGAIN, I am not saying he isn't good at what he does. People are just a lot like sheep and follow the herd, in this case the majority. Sheeple.
twincarma wrote:cho not doing animals would be like monet doing portraits, or picasso doing landscapes. He most likely could do something else but animals are his thing.
Are you seriously comparing a guy that draws really cool looking animals to be printed on tshirts to one of the greatest artists of all time? Seriously?

Re: 1970 - Apollo 13

mjkelleher wrote:Pups. :-D I was in high school the first time around, and it still gets my vote.
Hehe... well I'm glad you like the shirt, and glad you love the music too.
I first discovered Pink Floyd back in my early teenage years. I first heard Dark Side of the Moon (corny as it may sound) at a laser show at a planetarium. Somthing about it spoke to my thirteen-year-old heart. I identified with the lonliness... the fear of modern society and of what the future might hold... the struggle to find peace among nations... among races... even in your own self. It really made quite an impression on me, I must say.
I endeavored to explain the whole thing to my mother, soon after. There was such beauty in the strange, space-lost, forlorn but hopeful songs. My mother listened to such boring music, in my teenage mind, anyway. There was no way she could have experienced the rough and yet polished noise-music that captured my attention. We sat and I told her about "Us and Them" and about time ticking away and about there being no dark side of the moon, really (as a matter of fact, it's all dark). She listened carefully and never interrupted.
Then, when I had finished my lecture, she went down to the basement and pulled out a box of old records for me (remember vinyl, kids? ) and let me sift through them all. I found lost treasures that day... Tommy and Abbey Road, The Rolling Stones, the Ramones, even Harry Chapin (who I didn't care for until I turned 30). And yes... there in nearly perfect condition, right near the top of the box was Dark Side of the Moon.
I guess it just goes to show you what a silly kid I used to be, but I still look back on those memories, and this album, with great fondness. Thanks so much for your votes, everyone.
I agree with Andy!!!

I don't think Cho needs to do animals. But neither is it just because of his name - his designs are consistently amazing and, whether you agree or not, consistently wearable. You may not like animals on shirts, but a great deal of people do.
Believe it or not, most people vote based on the DESIGN, not the designer. Look at the people commenting - for the most part, it's the same names over and over again. Most voters don't even know who these designers are - they just pop in and vote on a few designs, then check out until the results are put up. If they see something they particularly like, they might leave a generic "oh wow!" comment - but aside from the vocal minority, most of the voting wooters have no clue who is designing what.
Yes, Cho has a lot of fans. That's because Cho is a great designer. If he put up a crappy design, people wouldn't vote for it just because it's Cho's.
If you want to argue that people are like sheep, you should point to the fog and the hotness, because many people will only look at and vote on those top designs, leaving many other great entries lost at the bottom.
And it should be noted that Cho doesn't actually place in every derby.
Fantastic! Thanks for bringing it back.

Close, but not quite. If sub-par work is winning every week, there isn't much motivation for new artists to try to enter the Derby. That is true a sad majority of the time, and I assure you that as long as the work in the fog is well-done (like Cho's, Fable's and Zenne's typically is, for instance) the artists are happy and encouraged. I think most people entering would like this to be more of a meritocracy and less of a contest of who can come up with the most popular cultural reference.
The fact that the voting trends have forced even those talented artists to chase pop culture references is what cheapens the derby.
squidboots wrote:1985 is the year fullerenes, which are special allotropes of carbon, were discovered. Fullerenes come in a few different forms, but probably the most interesting one is buckminsterfullerene (they're more commonly known as "buckyballs"), which is named after R. Buckminster Fuller. He was a pretty cool guy. Buckminsterfullerene is made of 60 carbon atoms arranged in an icosahedral form (like a soccer ball), and my illustration details the organic structure including the aromatic rings. Yes, I'm a geek.
This version has an adjusted fullerene graphic and includes a mass spectrum of the molecule for all of you geeks out there.
I like this design, I am currently taking organic chemistry
and I like it much more than general chem.
I guess it does take a nerd to understand what an aromatic ring is.

John Curry won in 1976, Euros, Worlds and Olympics. Katarina Witt did it in 1988. Didn't Albright and Heiss win Worlds after their Olympic wins? Yamaguchi did it in '92. I'm sure there are more skaters, but this is all that comes to mind right now.

Beware of Firefox Add-ons!
Click on image to enlarge.
I personally only use a couple extensions myself, none of which is listed here, but if you do use many and feel Firefox takes forever to start up or has less than acceptable performance, you may benefit from visiting this SITE and learning which extensions could be the root cause of your problem. Most popular extensions have alternatives available, so you might be better off disabling that particularly slow Add-on and installing a similar one.
If, on the other hand, you are an Add-on developer, please make sure you are clear on Mozilla's Performance Best Practices in Extensions.

@Subaili: Chrome extensions could be poorly coded as well. The problem is with certain extensions, not all, and certainly not with the browser itself. Having said so, if you like Chrome better, by all means use it. I would only recommend using Chromium instead.
I simply love that #8 on the list, "Fastest Fox - Browse Faster", causes Firefox to slow down.ReplyDelete

Can not recommend Gogo highly enough - fantastic!By MJ on 8/09/2014 8:35:46 PM
Gogo came to a family 70th birthday party to keep the grandchildren busy while the adults had lunch - I can not recommend them highly enough. Lots of communication before hand, very professional, 100% committed to making sure each child had a great time. The kids raved about their "coach", loved their little gifts, and we watched them having a fantastic time. We had chi (...) Read more
Brilliant Party!By Linda on 23/06/2014 5:19:08 PM
All the children at my daughters party loved it. They had a ball and my daughter would like to have a Go Go Sport party again. It all went very smoothly.
Party at its BestBy Pooja Thakkar on 29/01/2014 10:01:29 AM
We recently had my sons 3rd Birthday Party and had organised for GOGO Healthy Kids team to come and entertain the kids. Daan and Paula did a fantastic job. Daan led the party by starting the kids to run around so many obstacles and used numerous props. The activities those were lined up kept the kids and the parents moving. We thought that the kids will be involved in the (...) Read more
Perfect party!By Josh on 4/11/2013 3:53:37 PM
We booked Daan for our nine year old son's birthday party because we wanted a 'sports party' where the boys could run around and be competitive...it was perfect in every way. The boys had so much fun, the parents watched and took photos and everyone had a great time! Daan was a pleasure to deal with too. Highly recommend GoGo Healthy Kids!
Best party yet...By EmmaAliceBannister on 29/10/2013 11:26:03 AM
My daughter completely loves the after school GoGo Kids activities - so much that she asked for Daan to host her birthday party. All 20 of her friends LOVED the activities - they listened, laughed and all joined in the wonderful sports games. It was my most pleasurable birthday party ever!! Thanks Daan.
Fantastic GoGo PartyBy Joanna on 4/09/2013 12:22:19 PM
GoGo Kids lives up to it's motto of giving children an "unforgettable Birthday". My 6 year old son had the "best party ever" with Daan and Matt from the GoGo team. All the kids had a fabulous time, despite the cold windy weather! The feedback from the mum's was that their kids want a GoGo party too. I recommend these guys 100% - they take the stress out of entertaining twe (...) Read more
Go Go ReviewBy fiona.treweeke on 4/09/2013 11:16:22 AM
Having been to a friends Go Go party and after using the Go Go school holiday program, there was only going to be one option for my son's 6th Birthday - Go Go Kids. Personally, I think it's the best value in the Eastern Suburbs for a kids party event. On top of this they cope brilliantly with a mixture of ages - my son is 6 and daughter 9 - it worked for all their friends (...) Read more

John Howard, Australian Prime Minister 1996-2007, delivered his Liberal Party election campaign launch speech in a post-September 11 world. It included tough language on national security and border protection.
His statements were aimed particularly at asylum seekers arriving on boats in Australian waters – at this time Australia was refusing the Norwegian freighter Tampa permission to deposit rescued asylum seeks on Australian soil.

What was your response to John Howard's election speech? Did you agree with Howard's tough stance on border security? Did it impact on how you felt as an Australian citizen?
I suspect it's people like me John Howard means when he says 'we decide who comes here' but I don't want to be part of his 'we'. I side with the ones who admit that harm was done, is being done, and would like to make things better. At least to try. Jenny Sinclair, Melbourne, 2006
As a nation we should be able to choose who we want to come here. Let's bring in educated people with a similar culture to ours, people who will work hard and fit in to our society rather than these people who don't speak English and don't want to assimilate. Peter Ling, Manly, 2008

'Middle' Class
Congratulations for the excellent article "Middle Ground" by Brad Crawford, which appeared in the February 2007 issue of Family Tree Magazine. As someone who has been researching Middle Eastern roots for nine years, I am in a position to say that everything about it was exceptional: the depth and breadth of research, the lively writing, the photos and graphics, the layout and font, and the seamless integration of the sidebars and online extras. Aside from being interesting and informative, it as a yawning gap in genealogy for a sizable group of people, who often have had to keep a low profile over the decades to "make it" in America. The increasing prejudice against and misconceptions about those of Middle Eastern origin makes the very fact of your publishing it in these times courageous. I feel proud to be quoted in such a fine article, and was especially impressed and appreciative that Mr. Crawford was willing to take the extra time needed to ensure his quotes conveyed the intended meaning. Living abroad, this is the first time I have seen Family Tree Magazine, and I look forward to reading the rest of the issue.

The Milwaukee Brewers have had an unfortunate month. Not only has the club fallen to 18 games below .500, but they've had to deal with the fallout stemming from the suspension of the face of their franchise, Ryan Braun. The Brewers will hand out $10 vouchers to all fans during the 12 home dates in August. On Monday, the Brewers' head honcho, chairman and principal owner Mark Attanasio, announced that any fan that passes through the Miller Park gates will receive a $10 voucher to use on nearly anything in the park. According to the press release, the only places in the park where the vouchers will not be accepted are at the corporate-backed venues such as Friday's Front Row, the Johnson Controls Stadium Club, the Miller Park Suites, as well as all-inclusive entertainment areas and portable merchandise stands. It is a gesture of goodwill that will mount financially for the small-market club, which falls under the umbrella of a larger "Fans First" campaign. The Brewers have 12 home dates in the month of August and that same press release expects 30,000 per game in August, Milwaukee will dole out upwards of $3.5 million worth of free vouchers. "This has been a challenging season for all of us, but the one thing that has never wavered has been the tremendous support we have received from fans who love the Brewers," Attanasio said through the release. "We wanted to do something meaningful to show our appreciation, and we will strive to provide the best fan experience possible." The 65-game suspension handed down to Braun comes without pay, meaning the Brewers will save approximately $3.4 million over the course of the 2013. It appears that that Attanasio and the Milwaukee club had that figure in mind when developing a way to give back to the fan base, and found a way to do so in an unprecedented manner. The Brewers needed to act quickly to try to help repair the additional damages that the suspension had on the reputation of the clu, and handing out a $10 voucher to each fan is certainly a meaningful gesture. Fans will be able to read through the lines and know why they are receiving the vouchers, but they will likely go a long way to help keeping fans in the stands for the remainder of the season. The post Milwaukee Brewers to give away over $3.5 million in vouchers in August appeared first on Midwest Sports Fans.

There have recently been a couple of threads that have indirectly challenged the definition of what is or is not "family friendly," especially in regard to language and sexually explicit content. While we have beat the language issue to death, I want to address the issue of sexually tinted topics and make our stance clear.
While sex has saturated virtually every aspect of western society and is as commonplace as crude language, it has no place here on TDH. We can't and won't presume to impose our views upon actions in your personal life or on other online venues, but due to our desire to keep TDH family friendly, we ask that you refrain from posting anything that is either sexually explicit or even implied. Of course, what is considered "sexual" in nature varies from individual to individual and while we will not attempt to make a complete listing of what is considered sexually inappropriate here at TDH, as a general rule, from here forward, do not post images of scantily clad women (or men). This would include pictures from conventions such as the "tape girls." The exception to this would be Slave Leia or other costumes directly related to Star Wars or other comic/movie costumes. Even images of this type of costume should not contain sexual overtones or overtly sexual postures or suggestive positions. Ultimately, it will be the administration who makes the final determination as to what is appropriate and what is not.
As with inappropriate language, most of us are adults here and most of us know what is considered appropriate and inappropriate, despite our personal feelings. Please be responsible and post with the knowledge that there are children reading your posts. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this issue, please feel free to PM me.

While most girls will get their first period around age 12, the range can run from age 8-16. Most of these girls are normal by biological standards, because puberty is a complex process of brain, body, and hormonal development. Still, there appears to be a trend toward precocious puberty mainly in girls and in some boys. Precocious puberty is the clinical term for those who experience abnormally or unusually early puberty.
Defining Normal Puberty
Every child is unique. When a child begins puberty depends on a variety of factors, including family history, ethnicity, and nutritional status.
Although there are several changes in the body, the changes usually occur in a specific order. For example, girls may see an increase in body fat and breast growth while boys experience testicular and pubic hair growth.
Until recently, normal puberty was thought to begin between ages 8 and 14 in girls and between 9 and 12 in boys. But, recent research has found that puberty occurs as early as age 6 in girls of certain ethnic backgrounds.
Rare Causes of Early Puberty
In rare cases, especially when pubic hair is seen in children as young as 5 years, precocious puberty can be caused by tumors of the adrenal gland, ovaries, or brain. It is also seen in those with rare genetic disorders, like McCune-Albright syndrome. While the appearance of pubic hair in such a young child warrants a visit to the pediatrician to rule out any serious causes, it may be just another variation on the norm.
Growth and Puberty
When puberty comes too early, it can affect growth. By late puberty, most children have reached 95% of their adult height. When puberty starts and ends too early, the sex hormones that help harden bones can end their growth too soon. Other problems may surface later in life. For example, the earlier a woman starts menstruating the more at risk she is for serious health conditions, such as breast cancer.
If tumors or other serious causes of precocious puberty are ruled out, and if a child's doctor believes the progress of puberty could harm their growth, hormone agonists can cancel the hormonal domino effect and delay puberty until a more optimal time.
The Mystery of Puberty
Scientists and clinicians would like to clarify what is normal for the onset of puberty, but the issue is clouded by the controversy of how puberty begins. The process is an intricate interplay of brain activity that leads to hormonal secretion. While experts can name some of the hormones involved in puberty, they do not know the triggers.
Does Obesity Affect Puberty?
Studies have looked at the effect of increased body mass index (BMI) on earlier onset of puberty. One study found that the BMI in pubertal 6-9 year old white girls was markedly higher than the BMI in prepubertal girls of the same age. A smaller difference was noted for African American girls.
The relationship between obesity and early puberty is not clear-cut, however. Multiple factors are likely involved in the development of precocious puberty. Studies are under way to look at these potential contributing factors.

Most people don't fully understand the complexities and scope of a software performance test. Too often performance testing is assessed in the same manner as functional testing and, as a result, fails miserably. In the final installment of this four-part series Dale examines what it takes to properly plan, analyze, design, and implement a basic performance test. This is not a discussion of advanced performance techniques or analytical methods; these are the basic problems that must be addressed in software performance testing.
This is the final part of a four-part series addressing software performance testing. The general outline of topics is as follows:
- Part 1
- - The role of the tester in the process
- - Understanding performance and business goals
- - How software performance testing fits into the development process
- Part 2
- - The system architecture and infrastructure
- - Selecting the types of tests to run
- Part 3
- - Understanding load (operational profiles OP)
- - Quantifying and defining measurements
- Part 4
- - Understanding tools
- - Executing the tests and reporting results
Understanding Tools
As previously noted, tools provide answers to questions. The first parts of this paper addressed the problem of defining the questions to be asked of the tools and examined those elements of a performance test that need to be in place before you should even be concerned with tools. When we talk about performance tools, we are talking about three specific categories: load generators, end-to-end response time tools and monitors (probes).
A successful performance test requires all three types of tools, properly configured and working together.
Load-generation tools cannot measure true end-to-end timing of a user experience, as they use virtual users or clients and do not include the workstation overhead in their measurements. If the user experience is critical-heavy graphics usage, large amount of business logic on the client (fat versus thin)-then an end-to-end tool is essential.
Monitors (probes) are essential to solving any performance problems that may be identified during the testing. Performance refers to how something behaves (performs) under a defined set of circumstances. When running a test, measures have to be taken in many areas: memory, CPU, threads, network statistics, database measures, internal application measures, etc. These measures may have to be taken from several platforms or servers depending on the type of application under test.
Getting the right set of tools is essential to a successful test. The combined tool set provides the tester with an answer.
When looking at load generation, there are multiple possibilities:
- Generate the load manually employing actual users
- Build your own tool
- Purchase or lease a load tool
- Use a third-party application service provider (ASP)
Manual generation of load is probably not going to work very well. Unlike tools, real people get bored, tired, and distracted from the task at hand. Although some types of tests-such as a sudden ramp-up of users-are possible using this method, the results are generally not very reliable. Employing actual users also may have a scaling problem; there are only so many people available and so many workstations. Tests to stress the system beyond normal limits may be impossible. It can also be very expensive to bring in a sufficient number of people, usually on a weekend, to generate the necessary volume of activity for the test.
Building your own tool is sometimes the only possible choice. The majority of commercial tool vendors focus their tools on specific areas of the market, preferably an area with many possible clients. As such, there may not be any commercial tools available for the architecture or infrastructure on which you are testing.
There are advantages and disadvantages to building your own performance tools, as shown in table 1.
|It takes time to engineer
and create the tool
will contain the features you require
|The tool will require
initial testing to ensure it functions as expected
can be modified to provide all necessary trace and internal measure
information as the architecture changes
|Once built, the tool has to be
maintained internally. All new functions have to be created

Re: Solomons, MD Marina
the calverton museum and the wood boat shop is an
interesting place.
Re: Solomons, MD Marina
Glad you made it back safely. And learned a couple great (hard) lessons along the way. Everyone who sails has to learn those lessons sometime. Over time, the stories will get better and better, the waves larger, the wind stronger, etc. And don't forget the sharks that were circling the boat... ;-)
It was great to meet you guys at the dock. Hopefully the first of many sailing trips! Take care and keep on learning.
Re: Solomons, MD Marina
The Calvert Maritime Museum excels. We like bicycling about the area on our folding bikes. We've stayed at Zahnhisers, Beacon Marine, and Spring Cove, but our favorite is Solomons Harbor Marina behind the Holiday Inn- all of the best amnities.
Re: Solomons, MD Marina
I agree with you, Chef.
The return sail trip is MUCH better! Last night, my wife and I had to prepare for the trip back home. We realized that our club boat's mainsail has a tear. We had to use the other resources; jib and motor. We went to get more gas for the 12 gallons tank. We were surprised that it was not empty. It only needed 5 gallons. IMO, the reason that engine gave out twice on the first trip is the gas flow from the tank to engine was interrupted when we were motoring against the current (3-5 foot waves).
We met a wonderful coupe who have lots of sailing experience. They are retired and they currently live in their trawler. They and we shared our scary sailing experience. They offered their support and that rebuilt my confidence in sailing. We read the marine forecast more closely and we knew that today would be much better to sail than 2 days ago.
Today, the trip back home took us 6.5 hours! The wind was blowing 7-9 mph from SW and we were sailing beam reach or broad reach along with the motor. The current was also pushing us back home. The waves were like 2 foot. Today was a real good day to sail.
I agree that I was foolish for getting ahead of myself but I learned a lot by learning the HARD way. Next time, I'll plan better and be more realistic.
Sounds like not much fun, consider getting to know the boat better before taking off on a few day cruise. (the fact that you didn't know how to clean the porta potty is a pretty good indicater ) Always have an alternate plan. Sailing a boat you're not familiar with in those conditions yesterday that far was a bit foolish IMO. You put yourself and guest in an unnecessary circumstance, just something to think about next time. You want everyone to enjoy themselves.
Fortunately your ride back should be much better with the wind behind you
Re: Solomons, MD Marina
Good morning. We are at Spring Cove Marina and its a real nice place. Their staff are very helpful. The trip we had from Herrington Bay to Solomons was HELL.
My wife and I left our home dock at around 9:30 am. The wind from south was over 10 knots all day and the waves were from 2 to 5 feet. I think it was too much for our club boat 25 hunter. We had difficult time tacking and jibing. It took us 8 hours to sail to Kenwood Beach. We were exhausted and decided to fire up the boat's motor. We used the motor for 4 hours then we ran out of gas when we passed the Little Cove Point.
Luckily we are insured with BoatUS. We called their towing service and had them tow us to finish the trip. The tow lasted 45 minutes. Hallelujah, we made the trip but we were in over our head when we planned the trip.
There were staff lend us an electrical cord because we didn't bring ours. They brought us a full 5 gallons gas can! We have a porta potty in the club boat and we couldn't figure how to take off the top half and remove the bottom from the floor. So, the staff volunteered to perform the task and showed me how to do it. He also poured out and washed out the bottom potty. Again, the Spring Cove Marina is awesome. We are very grateful that we made the trip safely and we have helpful people at the marina.
My concern is about returning to our home dock tomorrow. I will need to study the wind forecast more closely. Is there a forecast for waves? We thought about making a stop on way back so we don't have to stretch ourselves to finish the LONG return trip. What marina do you recommend to stop for a night?
Re: Solomons, MD Marina
You got recommendations on the two best marinas in Solomon's. I hope you like Spring Cove: it's where I get all my service done. Visiting wise, the Marina museum, Stoney's and Ruddy Duck are good places, as are the ice cream shop on the boardwalk and the boardwalk itself. I really don't like the atmosphere of the Tiki Bar and don't recommend it.
Re: Solomons, MD Marina
Spring Cove is one of our all time favorite marina's. Trevor and Liz will give you top notch service. Their son Will is fantastic as well. The Calvert Marine Museum is a great place to visit. We are going back to Spring Cove in a few weeks. We come up from Lauderdale to stay there at least once a summer. You made a great choice. I visited Zanheiszer's and had dinner in the restaurant on someone's suggestion. Worst service I've ever received. The bartender talked on her cellphone the entire time we sat there. Anyway... Spring Cove it great. Visit the Tiki Hut and ask Drew to make you a Dark and Stormy.
Have fun!

Re: Solomons, MD Marina
It was great meeting and chatting with you briefly. You have a really nice boat. Is it a Morgan center cockpit? Anyway, my wife and I have planned for the Solomons trip and we are excited. We will leave at sunrise so we have the day to get there. Happy fourth of July.
Re: Solomons, MD Marina
We end up using a lot of sources - none all that reliable. Windfinder, NOAA, Wunderground are all on the usual reading list. We've actually come to trust NOAA and Wunderground mostly.
Most of the sites are calling for SSW for the fourth then high pressure moving in for the weekend, meaning light to no wind. So Solomons will be reachable, but will mean tacking down the Bay. Sunday, the return will likely be motoring unless you've got a lightair boat (we don't).
So we're planning on heading across to the Choptank for several days. We don't tend to go to marinas much. We much prefer anchoring out, swimming in the creeks, dinghying around, etc. The boat just doesn't feel right tied up to a dock. We sleep better on the hook than in a marina. Yeah - we're weird.
The Choptank does have a couple great marina type destinations - Oxford and Cambridge come to mind. Or the Eastern Bay and St Michaels. All have great eats, pools, etc.
Either way - I agree with the notion of staying out and not coming back!!
We'll be at HHN this weekend. We'll going out Sat for a bit to mess around and get some diesel, but otherwise have some projects we'll be working on. Come on over to C dock and say hello. Boat name is also Paperbird. We can swap stories (lies) and compare notes.

|General Car Chat Lounge Discussion Forum relating to nonspecific Ford Focus models, car purchasing, auto industry news and any car talk.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|My mom just bought hers and got the letter in the mail. Bartow ford in Florida said they will give her a rental car of her choice until a fix is created. I've driven hers with the 1.6 and it would beat the dog shit out of my 2.0 duratec focus for sure. I like it a whole lot. Seems like at least the ford dealer she got it from is trying to make things right.
its about the same as your Oldsmobile (assuming u have the 3.1 engine), but would feel better due to the low rpm torque.
I'd still like to see the new Escape offered with a 2.0L Duratorq Diesel engine here in North America (or at least Canada :p). It would suit the Escape perfectly - it would not be overly laboured like the small displacement turbo engines, the massive low end torque would haul the heavier vehicle with ease, and the highway fuel economy would be phenomenal. 45 mpg highway? Yes please! They already use the engine in Europe and it's been around long enough that the bugs should be worked out of it.
I did rent a 2.0 ecoboost Escape to do a road trip to Chicago last month, I loved the car (it was loaded too), had GOBS of power (compared to my Focus lol) and didn't seem to have any turbo lag whatsoever. But I couldn't live with it as my own daily driver due to the fuel economy it got. 1000 mile trip only averaged 25.5 US mpg. Better than a V6 I suppose but not good enough for a 4 banger for my liking.
|My question is why put a 1.6 in a heavy vehicle like a Fusion or Escape anyway? I feel like its being worked to death in those vehicles.
A week after it announced a big recall, Ford Motor says that it has pinpointed the cause of overheating. It says a simple software update will fix the fire risk in the 2013 Fusion sedans and Escape crossovers with a 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine.
The problem, it turns out, was a combination of two issues, says Raj Nair, Ford's vice president of global product development. "We had a sequence of events that caused the cooling system software to restrict coolant flow," he says. Most of the time, he says that would not be big a deal.
But if the car has another cooling system issue that could result in low pressure, such as a loose filler cap or a pinhole-sized puncture in a hose, the coolant could boil. If the coolant boils over, the engine goes into extreme overheating. Coolant leaks out and comes in contact with the hot exhaust system, catching on fire. Ford said it has seen 12 fires in Escapes and one in a Fusion.
The coolant needs of various parts of an engine vary with conditions, such as cold weather or during warm up. Ford engineers found that in certain conditions, water was being directed into the radiator to be cooled, but a closed valve briefly -- such as for 15 seconds -- prevented the coolant from flowing back into the engine.
That, too, normally is not a problem -- the engine easily can handle the very short time without coolant return. But again, if another issue has resulted in low pressure, the coolant never makes it back.
The software flash will ensure that water is not directed into the radiator unless the electronically controlled return valve is ready to send it back.
Nair says the repair will take about a half day. Mechanics will check customers' cooling systems to make sure they have not overheated already.
This is the third recall of the Escape with this engine for separate fire risks since its introduction last summer -- the first for a defective fuel line and the second for a coolant plug on the engine. The redesigned Fusion just went on sale this fall.
Nair says Ford has full faith in the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine, which has been used in Europe since 2010. More than 80,000 have been made in Europe, where there have been no recalls, but where the engine has a different cooling system.
|simple problem if overheating is making things catch fire and pop freeze plugs out. add a hood scoop and a duct to dump air over the turbo . there is really no place for all of that heat to go besides the firewall
Surely it's not coolant. I've never had coolant cause a fire, but then-- new coolants are different. It's not ethylene glycol being used any more because that's toxic. I'm not sure exactly what Ford is using now, but some of the new coolants are an organic acid.
I am personally a bit afraid of owning an E-boost engine until these have been out long enough for people to get over 100k miles on it. I know it's not the same, but everyone I know who has owned a turbo engine has had issues with the turbo before 100k.
|My girlfriend got a 1.6l fusion about two months ago. It's a great little car, got 42mpg on the way back from Richmond the other day and that's with winter fuel. Hopefully they'll get this all sorted out, as it's an awesome car. :)
|Apparently it could be a couple of things. Some frost plugs may be improperly installed causing them to pop out, the coolant leaks on to the exhaust, the water evaporates and the glyco starts the fire. The other thing I read is there is a maze of coolant lines behind the engine, any leaks will result in the same as above.

I've got two full blown MCE's in my living room & bedroom but I'd like to add one to my home office. Needs to have a HDMI output, USB and ethernet NIC port. Goal is to put Windows 7 on it and then XBMC after adding a IR receiver.
What's the minimal hardware people have used out there? The lowest i could find was around $250 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...83103440), but the Acer Revo (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6883103440) looks nice, just 2x the price.

If you didn't need windows 7 then you could pick up a rasberry pi for less than $50, add in a USB I/R receiver (I'm thinking of one) and you've got a cheap set-up.

Depends on how soon he wants it... people in the first round of pre-orders are saying they are seeing estimated ship dates of May... the one I just ordered shows an estimated ship date of August. Kinda hoping that's a very conservative estimate as I'm hoping to build a small, portable HTPC with it and one or two 1TB laptop hard drives so I can easily take a good chunk of my library with me when traveling in my RV or on my dad's sailboat. Would be so much easier and lighter than carrying my three 300 disc binders to the RV and having to find a place to store them.
... back on topic.... There are some refurbished, barebone Zotac ZBOX HD-ID11-U's on ebay for $150. If you have a spare laptop HD and memory laying around then this seems to be a really cheap option. The Zotac ZBOX HD-ID11-U is a group 4 HTPC per eskro's guide which, doesn't seem bad to me. Took me a while of looking at the list before I found the difference between group 4 and 5 is only stream netflix at SD and not HD like the group 5's.
HTPC 1 - AMD A8-3870K, ASRock A75M, Silverstone ML03B, Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR3 1866, Crucial M4 64GB SSD
HTPC 2 - HP Stream Mini, 6GB Ram
unRAID 6 Server - Intel Celeron G1610, 20TB Storage

I think your gun has a cool look to it (different than the norm but pleasing to the eye). And I like the 438's ability to fire a single action aimed round if the opportunity arises, while maintaining a snag reducing "hammerless" profile. I used to have the heavy metal 649 .357 (23 oz.), and it was a pleasure to shoot .38+Ps single action, very accurate for a snubbie, and just right for your average .357 defensive round. I eventually went with a 442 because of the weight and slickness, as I wanted to carry in my front pocket. I have rarely seen a Smith revolver I didn't like! Long as it ain't Taurus Pink. GACK!
Eli Enjoy!

Strategy No. 1: Choose pieces with meaning
When Jason and Jill Williams hired a firm to design their home, they clearly stated that the theme was "sparse."
They did not intend to buy things to simply fill the house; they wanted to acquire pieces over time that had meaning, complemented their lifestyle, and reflected their personalities.
While the theme was "sparse," sleek and modern wasn't their design choice. Instead, they mixed furniture styles with rustic, stained, and painted finishes.
Every piece serves a purpose, and each can be used in different ways for years to come.

A "Red Neck" Neo Journal
I was doing a w/c on my OEBT/Red 10G tank yesterday and realized that I already have two different groups of PFR/RCS/Sakura shrimplets! One group of at least 6 were born last Wednesday (I think), and are clearly red tinged (< 1/8").
Then, I found a bunch of shrimpies that are extremely tiny (about 1/16"). They were scavenging on the hardscape and going in and out of the cholla. I only noticed them because of the tiny dark spot on their carapace that indicates they've been eating! I thought they were tiny scuds until I got down to their level and saw them along the crest of some stones. They are soooo small! I saw one swim to the FSS substrate, only to get rudely "sifted" by an adult. It headed back to the hardscape, kinda woozy.
I also counted at least 8 more berried moms... This tank will be exploded by the end of the month! I began culling males that are almost full adults without much red and ended up putting 6 culls in my 75G to "root hog or die!" You might say it's too late to cull the less than acceptable males, but I counted 5 more saddled babes, and one berried & saddled mom! I suspect others are saddled, but the dark/full reds are too solid to tell. I have at least 3 very red/full red males that are old enough to mate.
Oh boy, this is going to be awesome! Pictures are coming!
Congratulations! It's never too late to cull shrimp you don't like. Population genetics ftw!
I don't know what you've got in your 75g, but I put half a dozen cherry culls into my native river tank (full of carnivorous fish) and have found survivors months later. You might wind up with a second shrimp tank if you accidentally move a female. :)
I managed to get 3 pics before the battery went out in my camera. I missed the best picture where a baby was riding a Fluval Shrimp Food Granule in the flow across the tank. By the time I got the camera, he was swimming into this myriophyllum tuberculatum:
Yeah, those rust colored "limbs" are as thin as kite string. He/she is about 1/16". What's cool about babies is that they "pop up" when you aren't expecting them. I was searching for an unobstructed shot when I realized this guy was sitting on the glass... about 2" from my face:
I leave the sides and back pretty much covered in dust algae, as I consider them to be just 3 more pastures for shrimp to graze on. I apologize for the picture quality. My camera is just a Kodak Z712 IS (12X optical zoom). Here are two potential mates:
More to come.

White House Completes Review for Black Boxes in Automobiles
Tiffany Kaiser

Sender E-mail
(Source: saferautomobiles.com)
The NHTSA is now preparing to finalize the regulation
The White House has finished its review of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) proposal to
mandate event data recorders
(EDR) in all new vehicles.
Now that the White House Office of Management Budget has completed the review, the NHTSA is preparing to finalize the regulation. The proposal suggests increasing the number of new vehicles with EDRs from 91.6 percent today to 100 percent of light-duty cars and trucks.
Event data recorders, also known as "black boxes," collect driver data such as speed, use of a seatbelt, whether brakes were applied, etc. before and after a vehicle crash. The idea behind them is to deploy better safety measures for vehicles as well as better overall vehicle design.
The NHTSA originally said it'd create a proposal for the White House concerning EDR regulation by the end of 2011. After doing so, the White House Office of Management Budget delayed comment or review for a year.
Back in August of this year, the NHTSA
rejected the White House's request
for further delay of the black box standards.
Some automakers already place EDRs in all of their vehicles, such as Ford, General Motors Mazda and Toyota.
The road to EDR regulation hasn't been all smooth, though. The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which includes Toyota, Volkswagen AG and Detroit's Big Three, had issues with both driver privacy and the
cost of these black boxes
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers complained in May 2010 that the black boxes suggested by the government were too expensive to deploy in all vehicles. Further, it stated that EDRs could potentially be abused by the government.
"Event data recorders help our engineers understand how cars perform in the real world but looking forward, we need to make sure we preserve privacy," said Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers spokeswoman Gloria Bergquist. "Automakers do not access EDR data without consumer permission, and any government requirements to install EDRs on all vehicles must include steps to protect consumer privacy."
In April of this year, the U.S. Senate passed a highway bill called the "Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act", also known as MAP21. The bill aimed to require all new 2015 model year vehicles to have black boxes for record vehicle data.
The Detroit News
"It's okay. The scenarios aren't that clear. But it's good looking. [Steve Jobs] does good design, and [the iPad] is absolutely a good example of that." -- Bill Gates on the Apple iPad

Arsenal Football Club is delighted to announce that a deal has been agreed to sign German international striker Lukas Podolski on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee.
The Polish-born attacker will team up with the Gunners in the summer ahead of the 2012/13 season from Bundesliga side FC Cologne, where he has been in fine form this season, netting 18 times in 28 league appearances.
After spending his early years training and playing with FC Bergheim 2000, the 26-year-old joined the youth set-up at Cologne in 1995, before making his first-team debut in 2003. After three successful seasons with Cologne he moved to Bayern Munich in 2006. He spent three seasons with Bayern before re-joining FC Cologne in 2009 and is now regarded as one of the leading strikers in the Bundesliga.
Podolski has made 95 appearances for Germany and scored 43 goals since making his debut as a 19-year-old in 2004. He made a huge impact with a series of impressive performances at the 2006 World Cup, where he scored three times and followed this up with three more goals at Euro 2008.
Podolski was also part of the Germany team that produced a number of eye-catching displays at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, including a goalscoring contribution in the 4-1 win over England in Bloemfontein in the last 16. He also featured for 'Die Geißböcke' in the pre-season friendly against Arsenal at the RheinEnergieStadion last July.
Manager Arsène Wenger said: "We are delighted to secure the deal for Lukas and see him as an important part of our future. He is a top-class player, a very good finisher and a proven performer at club and international level. He is a very strong player and will provide us with good attacking options.
"We are happy to have made this signing early and we are looking forward to watching Lukas contribute at the European Championship over the summer, a level where he has already made 95 caps at the age of 26. That is a phenomenal record and just shows his quality as a player."
Speaking about his move, Podolski said: "I'm so happy to be joining Arsenal Football Club and to play in the Premier League. Arsenal is one of the top clubs in Europe with a huge history. There are many top quality players at Arsenal and the style of football which the team plays is fantastic. I'm proud to become an Arsenal player and am looking forward to playing my first match at Emirates Stadium and doing my best for all the Arsenal fans.
"I am looking forward to becoming an Arsenal player, but at the moment my focus is with my current club, FC Cologne. I will give everything I have until the end of season to make sure the team finish as high as possible in the Bundesliga. There will always be a place in my heart for FC Cologne."
Everyone at Arsenal looks forward to welcoming Lukas to the Club in the summer.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Discussion in 'Other Hoops Talk' started by Ozarkruffrider, Jan 17, 2008.
I could say no, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Hornbuckle....Trust me...she sho aint no looker! Bordering on Whitmore territory!Cheryl Ford was looking good last week, but I cant help thinking of karl Malone in drag. Sorry for giving yall that visual.....Aww cmn, u were thinking it, too!
Do people still watch the WNBA?
Ask Bill Laimbeer BillLaimbeer.
I watch it.
I'll check the scores weekly.........
I watched all of the televised Shock games last year. There were about 3 of them televised on ABC before and the playoffs and I watched all of those games until they were robbed in the finals. . I have never been to a womens pro or college game, but if the Shock play the LA Candice Sparkers at Staples on a weekend, I may check them out this summer.
Well, Laimbs and Horn are proud! SHOCK 85, COMETS 66 Katie Smith leads Shock in season opener Katie Smith scored 21 points and shot 5-for-10 from the three-point line as the Shock beat the Comets, 85-66, in the WNBA season opener at the Palace.
Great showdown out West with Candace Parker's Sparks beating Taurasi and Pondexter's Mercury: ESPN - Los Angeles vs. Phoenix - Recap - May 17, 2008 Shock will really have to concentrate on defense this season if they want a ring.
I watched this one....Parker was very impressive, almost scoring a triple double. Only the second time a defending champion has lost the opening game of the season when receiving their rings. Each time the Sparks have done the trick spoiling the Shock's ring ceremony by beating them back 2004 after the Shocks 2003 champion victory over them. If the Sparks and Shock get to the finals, I might even venture out to my first WNBA game here in LA this summer
Shock playing today on FSDetroit after the Celts game.
Oops, wrong Fox---Fox North, but they lost anyway and they had it blacked out down here in Missour.
It hard to many games in the NBA,NCAA ro WNBA when you commit 23 turnovers?? I guess Katie Smith was nervous about going back to play in front of her old team's fans as she had six turnovers herself.
WNBA.com: Fever at Shock Game Info Shock gettin it done. U go girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our gals are playing the new expansion team in Atlanta right now on NBAtv.
Not a bad win there. Atlanta was high on a home opener for the first time in their history and had a 13 point lead into the half. Shock came out with a lot more energy and soon the swing was made to end the game with a resounding win. 3-1 so far.
Liberty up next today @ 6pm edt on FoxD. I watch them mainly to see what Laimbs and Horn does during the game.
Give Horn the business on the radio if they lose.
Laimbeer got the team off to a good start this season?
Another win. 4-1 so far. Although it was superfulous, Hornbuckle hit a last split second halfcourt shot at the end of the game. Aside from the obvious differences in the game play versus the men, one thing that stuck out is how the gals artfully can use the glass in shot making due to their circumstances.

Her is my version of the belt pouch pattern. It is based on a 5.625" rope belt and 2.5" pouch belt, the photo was brought into CAD and scale to these dimensions and this is the result.
I haven't tested these yet, but you are welcome to them. If you have any questions let me know.
Print at 133% at 38 pixels/cm to get full size templates. But remember to scale them to fit your build, they should be in proportion to the rest of your equipment.
I have added a PDF File attachment for the medium sized patterns.


text: MTA members play key role in election victories "This is a great day for Massachusetts," said MTA President Paul Toner, commenting on the election of Elizabeth Warren to the U.S. Senate and the re-election of President Barack Obama. "With what we hope will be bipartisan cooperation, we can now move forward with reforms needed to improve our economy, further strengthen our schools and colleges and support working families." Toner expressed thanks to the many MTA members who supported pro-public-education candidates and offered special appreciation to those who participated in MTA campaign activities. "Our members are extremely busy, but many of them contributed three hours or more to our member-to-member campaign because they recognize that elections have a huge impact on their students and their communities," Toner said. "Their efforts – and the efforts of so many union members across the country – made a big difference in this election." MTA members and staff made tens of thousands of calls on behalf of association-recommended candidates in the weeks leading up to the Nov. 6 election, working in concert with their Legislative and Political Action Teams and local Political Action Leaders. The MTA also sent hundreds of thousands of direct mail pieces to members. In addition, the association mailed voters, placed ads supporting pro-education candidates, and participated in other independent expenditures in key races. MTA Vice President Tim Sullivan joined Toner in applauding the election's outcome. "We are extremely fortunate that we will be represented by a new U.S. senator – Elizabeth Warren – who truly understands the needs of students and educators," Sullivan said. "As a former special needs teacher herself and a graduate of public schools and public colleges, she will be an effective advocate who puts the interests of working families ahead of all others. Jean Fay, a kindergarten paraprofessional in the Amherst-Pelham school district, and a member of the MTA Board of Directors. "It's also great that voters had the wisdom to give President Obama another four years in the White House," he added. Andy Daitsman, a Spanish teacher in Plymouth who serves as coordinator for the Legislative and Political Action Team in the Bristol and Norfolk Senate District, said that in the days leading up to the election, he detected "a great deal of enthusiasm" for Warren. "I think people want to be represented by someone who is smart, compassionate and an advocate for the issues we care about," Daitsman said. Members also saw the positive results of their hard work in the results of congressional and legislative races.All of the nine candidates the MTA recommended for Congress – Michael Capuano, Bill Keating, Joe Kennedy, Stephen Lynch, Edward Markey, Jim McGovern, Richard Neal, John Tierney and Niki Tsongas – won in their districts. Toner vowed that the MTA will remain a leader in the fight to provide a high-quality education to all students in the Commonwealth, to narrow the achievement gap and to overcome other challenges. "We will work with the entire Massachusetts delegation to pass laws and approve budgets that support quality public schools and public higher education – essential services that benefit all Americans, regardless of political party affiliation," Toner said. In important legislative races, numerous MTA-recommended candidates for whom the MTA had contacted members and reached out to voters were the winners of hard-fought contests.
