Some forms of anger are now considered more culturally legitimate than others. As a result, we spend less time examining the sources of people's anger and more time arguing over which people have the "right" to be angry.It's easier to dismiss or to sneer or, to use the academic term, to marginalize people, in order to dismiss, rather than to engage, their disagreements.
Similarly, by pointing out the supposedly irrational and dangerous anger of their political opponents (and thus establishing their "moral credentials"), cultural mandarins of the left can then readily indulge in their own vitriol without ever having to figure out what might be stirring these other people.But, because it's disaffected "privileged" people, their complaints don't matter.
Although Trump's rage against the Republican machine is an easy thing to lampoon, he is tapping into a mistrust of authority and sense of betrayal that is felt among a wide swath of the electorate. The angriest people are middle-aged and middle class. Why? More than half (52 percent) of the people polled byEsquire felt that the American Dream no longer existed; a similar number (54 percent) said, "The U.S. was once the most powerful country but isn't anymore." The same percentage felt that they were worse off than they had expected they would be when they were younger. And they aren't wrong.
Standard operating procedure for the Angry Left. Consider the way Kimberly N. Foster privilege-shames Julie Delpy. I don't pay much attention to culture-studies or to Hollywood, perhaps you, dear reader, have. But should you?
You can tell what degree of privilege someone holds when they believe sincerely that experiencing marginalization grants one some sort of elevated status. In the discussions of discrimination in which they cannot take part, the more privileged lament the lack of attention paid to their own struggles. They take any opportunity to recenter themselves lest for one moment their feelings not be the focus.Foster is OK and Delpy is rage-holic.
When intersectional feminists skewer white feminism, we are attacking this self-indulgence. It is the kind of thinking Actress Julie Delpy displayed when she turned a legitimate exploration of sexism in the film industry into an illogical rambling that attempted to paint white women as society's most oppressed group.
Delpy, herself, has a gender problem. She's privileged Black Male voices. Black women are at the center of this activism, yet they are stripped of their due in the name of justice for white women. They are unseen.The true error is in the Angry Left seeing standing as entirely zero-sum. Perhaps there can be only one Super Bowl winner, or only ten nominees for Best Actor, or only 1700 matriculants per year at an overrated university. But applying quotas, while it might serve as an incentive, might also be a narcotic. (And thus no "black" movies among the nominees because this year's crop is more tendentious than the rest of the offerings, featuring the other freakazoid fairy tales.)
Those who experience more than one kind of marginalization are right to be leery of white women's crusades for equality. They do not include us. When Patricia Arquette or Julie Delpy speak of a more just and equal world, they are not envisioning one in which they stand beside Black and Latina women. The multiple oppressions we experience complicate these discussions in ways they care not to address, so they've idealized scenarios in which we are not present because we are mere obstacles to their self-actualization.
Delpy could have made a gesture toward unity to tackle both the racism and sexism in Hollywood, but these white actresses do not believe these struggles to be fully recognized are connected. Their frustration stems from feeling like their rightful position as next in line is threatened. This is where White Feminism errs. Grievances of People of Color are viewed as an insult or an hurdle even to those who would benefit from greater visibility of discrimination. But the needs and concerns of white women must always always priority, and this underscores how individual they believe this fight to be.
All of which leads Pajamas Media's Stephen Kruiser to quip, "let the progressive victim subgroups cannibalize themselves."
Thus, the phenomenon Ms Rosen calls out is simply standard operating procedure, at least among the Angry Left.
There is something both brilliantly instrumental and stunningly condescending about the efforts of the self-appointed cultural and media elite to disqualify the emotions of the majority of Americans. In doing so they suggest not only that their opponents are wrong on the facts, but also that they are irrational, immature, and possibly dangerous, like a child having a tantrum. This makes serious conversation—and useful political debate—impossible. And it makes people very, very angry.The generalization to disqualifying the emotions of middle-aged white feminists is straightforward. But that's defensible, at least among the culture-studies types, because intersectionality.
The best thing to do with those Excessively Earnest People is to laugh at them. That's the one thing they can't stand.

Dave Peterson passed along news of this intriguing competition from "The Official Google Blog":
Show us your university campus in 3D
Today the Build Your Campus in 3D Competition begins. This spring, you and your (presumably equally artistic) friends can honor your campus turf as you hone your 3D design skills just by modeling your school's campus buildings in Google SketchUp, geo-reference them in Google Earth, and submit them through the competition website to earn lasting online glory. And the winners get a visit to Google, all expenses paid.
You're eligible if you're a higher education student in the U. S. or Canada. You can team up with other students, or take the project on yourself. (To do the best work possible, we suggest you have a faculty advisor.) The deadline for entries is June 1, and the winning entries will be posted to the 3D Warehouse by July 10.
We're pretty jazzed that our panel of judges includes Bobby Brooks from Walt Disney Imagineering, Ken Harsha from Electronic Arts, Janet Martin from Communication Arts Inc. Paul Seletsky from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Gary Smith from Green Mountain Geographics LTD, and Ken M Tse from HKS Architects, Inc.
We hope to see your stomping grounds soon.
Dave thinks "there could/should be some kind of community-based climate-change mapping exercise, somewhat similar to this Google SketchUp
contest." Great idea.

SATURDAY, Oct. 12, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Fall can be a challenging time of the year for kids with asthma, an expert says.
"Although asthma can flare up for a number of reasons, a lot of people with allergies also have asthma, and asthma can be triggered by allergies. So the fall is a tough time for asthmatic sufferers," said Dr. Gaurav Kumar, a pediatrician at LifeBridge Health in Baltimore.
While many kids do well with their asthma during the summer, problems often accompany the return to school.
"You go from taking these outdoor summer vacations to now being in a classroom again," Kumar explained. "So now you're in contact with people in closed spaces. And of course, what happens is germs are more likely to spread that way. So you could get colds from friends who have colds, and then that becomes a trigger for asthma."
Parents need to make sure their child's asthma is under control. If a child stopped taking preventive asthma medications regularly during the summer, they should resume daily use now, Kumar advised.
Children with asthma should have checkups at least once a year, and in some cases as often as three or four times a year.
"An asthma checkup is an opportunity for us to reassess how the year has gone and to make plans in anticipation of what might happen," Kumar said in a LifeBridge Health news release.
A flu shot is also important, because kids with asthma are at high risk for serious flu-related complications. Asthma is the most common medical condition among children hospitalized with the flu.
Flu vaccine is "very safe" in children with asthma and "will not cause any negative effects to trigger asthma attacks," Kumar said.

My sister-in-law turned me on to these amazing handmade organic soaps by Abbey Brown, a Chicago-based soap artisan, and I guarantee they will make a great gift or stocking stuffer for anyone on your holiday shopping list—especially friends who are passionate about being green. My sis tells me that when Abbey became a mom, she had trouble finding natural soaps that didn't severely irritate her young child's skin. So she took matters into her own hands and began experimenting with her own homemade soaps, which turned out to be a huge success.
I've tried Fields of Lavender, a smooth fragrant soap handcrafted with pure, unrefined and organic saponified oils of olive, coconut, palm kernel, shea butter, castor bean and apricot. Distilled water, and a natural blend of essential oils of lavender, lemon and rosemary round out this recipe, which results in a soap that's great for the face, hands, body—even hair. My other favorite is Chamomile Babe, which is actually intended for babies but I figure my skin can use some TLC, too. Freshly dried chamomile, macadamia nut, and Vitamin E star in this soap.
You can buy Abbey Brown soaps at my sister-in-law's amazing online store, bebybaby.com for $5.95 each or 3 for $15.

|Antonio Veneziano (14th cent.) from the cover of Magnificat, July 2011
St Mary Magdalene (though in some calendars " nothing" of her this year, it being a Sunday) - a little Easter in high summer. The weather has risen to the occasion - the first sunny weekend for a long time - and quite understandably the neighbours are out in force: next door, in the tiny strip of suburban garden parallel to ours, they have the radio turned up to full volume to be heard over the sound of lawn mower and strimmer. It is not tuned to a station I would have chosen.
Having done my (very) token bit of clipping and weeding I have resorted to earphones to listen to Choral Evensong on Radio 3 - though noises off still intrude. Inches from my shoulder a bee is busy on a spray of wonderfully purple buddleia; my eye catches that of St Francis in the form of an arguably naff statue festooned with tendrils of honeysuckle and patinated with guano. Into my ears the choir sings Charles Wesley's hymn:
O Thou Who camest from above,
The pure celestial fire to impart,
Kindle a flame of sacred love
Upon the mean altar of my heart.
There let it for Thy glory burn
With inextinguishable blaze,
And trembling to its source return,
In humble prayer and fervent praise.
Jesus, confirm my heart's desire
To work and speak and think for Thee;
Still let me guard the holy fire,
And still stir up Thy gift in me.
Ready for all Thy perfect will,
My acts of faith and love repeat,
Till death Thy endless mercies seal,
And make my sacrifice complete.
I'm reminded of two key turning-points in my journey. We sang that hymn at the Sung Mass on my first day at theological college, and it's become my prayer of vocation to ministry. And I took the name Magdalene at my reception into the Catholic Church eighteen years later. She's been a patron of my vocation to ministry: despite everything she "guarded the holy fire", perhaps unconsciously - the Holy One's gift of love:
You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven – as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little. [Luke 7:45-47] (If you reckon Mary Magdalene to be the same person as the woman who anointed Jesus.)
Evensong ends, and I remove my earphones. Beneath the insistent beat of next door's music I find the slower rhythm of my own heart. Deeper still, I listen for God's calling.
Still stir up Thy gift in me.

As I sit here, killing a sinus infection, there is not much to do besides knock off some Netflix, rest, drink water, and sleep again. Needless to say, I've been getting some writing done and this post has been sitting around for years. I decided to finish it up.
I can spot it right away. I'm at a social gathering and I'm telling someone I've never met what I do for a living. I tell them I'm a social worker. "Oh.." is their response. When you're as good at reading people as I am, you try not to laugh at how blunt their reaction comes off. "Oh.." translates into, "Right, so you take people's kids from them. You make almost no money. You're a male in a female dominated profession. Wait…why are you a social worker?? You could do anything??"

To our readers,
The COVID-19 pandemic is a once-in-a-century type story, ... Click here to continue
Medomak Valley High School celebrates Class of 2014
Waldoboro — A large crowd of parents, family and friends gathered in the Medomak Valley High School gym June 11 to cheer on the Class of 2014 as they marched in for their graduation ceremony.
The evening event included speeches from several students and long-time teacher Neil Lash. Halie Drew Haskins sang the National Anthem and later sang "100 Years," by John Ondrasik.
More than $100,000 in scholarships were awarded to members of the class and more than 100 students received diplomas. Between class day and graduation, a total of $235,140 in scholarships was awarded.
Senior Class President Ashton Mae Harvey greeted those attending the event.
"As a freshman, I thought everyone was silly saying, 'enjoy high school while you can because it goes by so fast,' but they were right," she said. "...To the graduating class of 2014, I say, 'Shoot for the stars, work hard and never give up. Obstacles may come by but we are humans, we can overcome anything."
Salutatorian Cyril Miller urged the graduates to remember what they had learned.
"People who overlook their failures do not achieve the success they desire," he said. "People who overlook their successes do not achieve the happiness they desire. I beg you, look at your family, your friends; we owe it to these people, the ones who have supported us, to find happiness and success."
Valedictorian Brooke Benedict meditated upon the concept of accomplishment, comparing the humble accomplishments made by her peers in high school to those of famous figures Abraham Lincoln, Michael Jordan and Stephen Spielberg.
"At our ages, these men had not yet made history," she said. "They possessed modest accomplishments and pure potential, just as we do today. ...So, Class of 2014, instead of asking what you have accomplished, I will ask you something far more important: what will you accomplish?"
The final speaker was teacher Neil Lash, who has worked at Medomak Valley High school since 1980.
"Make wise choices in your life," he said. "Calculate before you act. Reason with yourself reasonably. Many who look for the easy way out have trouble finding the exit. if you need to break a habit, drop it. Too many complain and think it's a hardship to live without things their grandparents never even heard of."
He concluded, "Seniors: the road is long, and leads to who knows where or when, but on behalf of the Medomak Valley High School administration and faculty, I wish each of you the very best, and please know my thoughts and prayers go with you all."

Recycled art: not what you think
Yuken Teruya has an art series called "Notice" in which he has created dioramas from used fast food bags, and they are breath-taking. He cuts delicate tree shapes from the bags and folds them inward, so that the viewer sees them when looking inside the bag.
According to the artist: "When you see it under the natural light, the delicate tree shows inside a paper bag, shows us the strength and the proof of existence of living tree." As you can see in the image, the end result is mind-blowing. Consider the perspective, and the actual size of the tree... the detail is extraordinary.

Ohio University picked Dublin as the location for its new, $24 million medical college because officials hoped the city would donate a little more than 95 acres to finish the project. And Dublin is ready to agree. Sort of.
Ohio University picked Dublin as the location for its new, $24 million medical college because officials hoped the city would donate a little more than 95 acres to finish the project. And Dublin is ready to agree. Sort of.
The City Council tonight will discuss for the first time an agreement that says if the university builds its planned medical college on the 14.8 acres it has agreed to purchase for $11 million at 7001-7003 Post Rd., just off the Rt. 33 interchange, Dublin will give the university two tracts surrounding it� about 71 acres in total.
But the city will retain its hold on about 25 acres, as well, with an eye toward developing commercial space, medical/hotel accommodations or research facilities that might support the medical campus. Both OU and the city will have a say in deciding how that space develops, according to the proposed agreement, and money could change hands for it in the future.
In addition, the agreement to go before council says the city expects eventually to approve a tax-increment financing district for the area, a move that would allow for future tax payments to be set aside in a special fund. The university is exempt from most property tax payments, but the special-taxing district would be set up for cases where it is applicable, most likely on whatever public-private partnership might come on that third tract of land.
Dublin also is agreeing to pay for road improvements in the area.
Dr. Pam Benoit, OU�s executive vice president and provost, is expected to update council with the college�s plans at tonight�s meeting.
A year go, the university announced a $105 million donation from the Osteopathic Heritage Foundations �- the largest private gift in the school's history �- to create an extended campus and to support expanded research and treatment of diabetes.
Officials said the first $29 million of the gift would be used to build Ohio University�s Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine in central Ohio. That set off a bidding war with several central Ohio cities vying for the project. In November, Dublin was tapped as the winner and the university�s board of trustees voted to buy the Dublin property and spend another $8 million to renovate the two existing buildings at the site.
The Ohio Controlling Board is expected to approve that $11 million land purchase at its meeting this afternoon.
The land agreement with Dublin makes it clear that if the university doesn�t fulfill its obligations in development of the medical college, the property reverts back to the city.
The university has said it plans to enroll 50 students in the new college in 2014.

Hamburger Soup
April 5, 2012 3 Comments
4/8/2012 edit: Happy Easter! Please come visit my recipe on Easy Natural Food's Sunday Soup Night!
Dotty writes:
This trip home has been a walk down memory lane. I had requests for Hamburger Soup and Raspberry Bavarian Pie [stay tuned for a Paleo version in an upcoming post], two recipes that were a staple of our family. Hamburger soup brings back memories of my childhood. My mother (Jennifer's grandmother) was known for her hamburger soup. As I recall, we started having it quite often about the time that Dad had back surgery and was on disability. With the big vegetable garden in the back yard and my dad's love of all vegetables in season, the recipe would vary with the seasons. I sometimes called it stone soup, since it could be stretched to feed our large family and any relatives or friends who showed up. Of course, we had homemade egg noodles or egg dumplings in the soup (not too paleo).
In looking for a recipe as a guideline, since I seldom use recipes, I looked in Iowa church cookbooks and then remembered my Christmas present from my brother and sister in law, Jerry and Pauline Kramer.
And, there I found my guideline for today's version of Hamburger Soup. We made some variations based on family and diet concerns. Starting with Jen's beautiful home made beef consommé instead of my usual canned or packaged beef broth, the result was wonderful, flavorful and hearty.
1.5# ground beef
2 small or 1 large white onion
3 celery ribs, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
1/2 small head of cabbage (about 2 cups shredded)
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1.5 T salt or to taste
1/2 tsp black pepper or more
2.5 C cauliflower florets
1 28oz can tomatoes, undrained
About 2 quarts homemade beef broth
Fresh thyme, parsley and rosemary
Brown the ground beef in a large stock pot. You want to have some chunks of meat, so don't break it up completely.
Add chopped onion and sauté until soft.
Add celery and carrots and continue to sauté.
Secretly add cabbage when no one is looking. Jen's paternal grandmother didn't tell her kids that their favorite soup contained cabbage until they were adults. As a child I loved to help out in the kitchen and be first to grab the heart of the cabbage. What a nice crunchy treat, doubt that I knew it was also healthy for me. I still love the cabbage cores.
Also add the two cloves garlic. Add salt, pepper and granulated garlic.
Jen writes: Add the tomatoes. I like this brand of tomatoes because the can is BPA-free. Cook for about an hour, then add the cauliflower. I remember calling this "dumpling soup" when I was a kid. I don't really care for dumplings anymore, but I thought that the cauliflower florets would be a healthy substitution. We didn't have cauliflower in our soup growing up. Add the fresh herbs and adjust seasoning to taste. We needed extra salt because my homemade stock was unsalted. It helps to have someone else do the tasting. Mom would often have me taste a soup or sauce that she was cooking to make suggestions on the seasoning. Cook for another 30 minutes or so. You could also make this recipe in a crockpot and cook it all day on low.
Optional: cook pasta separately for family members not following a Paleo diet.
We had the girls guess what orecchiette meant. Dora was tickled to learn that it meant "little ear".
Jen writes: This is my place-setting. The non-Paleo eaters had the option of serving the soup over pasta. The soup was just as delicious as I had remembered it. Dora couldn't believe we were torturing her like this, but Jewel ate the soup heartily. I knew she really liked it when I had leftovers last night because chewing made my head hurt. She said, "no fair – I want soup too!" So she had hamburger soup alongside her hamburger!

The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center celebrates grand opening
Chicago Bulls Charities announced in October 2010 it will donate $1 million to the Salvation Army Chicago Metropolitan Division to help build the Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in the West Pullman neighborhood
CHICAGO – The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center on the South Side of Chicago at 1250 W. 119th Street officially opened with a full weekend of public festivities on Saturday, June 16, and Sunday, June 17.
The weekend kick-off began with a Grand Opening Ceremony and Ribbon Cutting on Saturday, June 16, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Governor Pat Quinn, Congressman Bobby Rush, Chicago Bulls and Chicago White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf and Olympic Silver Medalist Maritza Correia, joined other elected officials, hundreds of community residents, donors and supporters, as The Salvation Army cut the ribbon on the state-of-the-art facility, which includes the largest array of sports, arts, educational and supportive programs for the public anywhere in the city in a single community center campus. The audience enjoyed performances by The Kroc Corps Singing Company children's choir, as well as the Kroc Corps Praise Dance Team and students from area schools accompanied The Salvation Army Mayfair Corps Brass Band. The Salvation Army also paid tribute to Joan Kroc with a special presentation to her granddaughter, Amanda Latimer.
An Open House followed the ceremony from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Open House was the first opportunity for the public to tour the building. Demonstrations took place in every area of the Kroc Center, showcasing the sports, aquatics, music education, adult education and other programs that the Kroc Center offers.
Saturday evening from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., The Salvation Army will host a free public concert featuring local church choirs and Kroc Center choirs. On Sunday, June 17, The Salvation Army Kroc Corps will hold a special Worship and Dedication Service from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The Chicago Kroc Center has the potential to make a tremendous impact on the far South Side, with a particular focus on stemming violence, creating jobs and providing safe and enriching opportunities for all ages. More than 250,000 people live within a three-mile radius of the site. More than a third is under age 18. About 2,500 people are expected to use the Kroc Center daily.
"The Kroc Center promises to dramatically improve the lives of children and teens who need a safe haven," said Lt. Col. Ralph Bukiewicz, Metropolitan Divisional Commander of The Salvation Army. "It will provide abundant opportunities to build their skills in a variety of activities previously unavailable to them, like swimming, diving, golf, soccer, dramatic arts and music. The Kroc Center is within three miles of 20 schools. The entire family will find programs and activities at the Kroc Center to inspire and engage them -- mind, body and soul. "
Kroc Center Will Combat Violence and Create Jobs
"We have developed a terrific partnership with the local Police Department, and The Salvation Army's increased presence and public events in the parks, like health fairs and flag football have demonstrated that the Kroc Center's outdoor campus and many outdoor playing fields can be a safe, violence-free zone where children from all of the surrounding neighborhoods can come together in peace, to learn, play and grow," said Major David Harvey, Salvation Army Kroc Center Administrator.
"Because of crime, I can only play in the front of my house and in my backyard," said Caitlyn Bell, 9, a 4th grader at Jesse Owens Community Academy in Roseland. "I've been singing with The Salvation Army Singing Company for the last three years, and I love singing. I am excited about the Kroc Center because it will give me a safe place to go and play. When the Kroc Center opens, I not only want to play in the water park, I want to have leading roles in the musicals and play."
The Kroc Center created about 220 construction jobs during its two-year construction phase. Once open, it will create more than 200 permanent, full- and part-time jobs. The Kroc Center will provide job readiness and training programs. It is also expected to improve the economic stability of the surrounding neighborhood. Like Kroc Centers in other cities, the Chicago Kroc Center is expected to attract new business, create hundreds of jobs, increase economic stability and lower crime rates.
A Destination for the Entire Family
The 160,000-square-foot Kroc Center sits on a 33 acre campus and will offer a wide array of activities and services for people of all ages, making it a unique destination for the entire family. Proposed programs and ministries include opportunities for worship, educational classes, sports, arts, fitness and support programs. Recreational features include an indoor sports complex, an outdoor stadium, basketball and tennis courts, an aquatic center, a state-of-the art fitness center, basketball courts and more. Outdoor recreational facilities include a sports stadium, a golf training center, baseball diamonds, batting cages, tennis courts and running track.
The Family Life and Education Center will offer an array of classes and educational workshops for people of all ages, including job training, GED preparation, tutoring, computer literacy, financial planning, parenting classes and health screenings.
The Kroc Center's Academy of the Arts includes a 600-seat performing arts center;; a media center with recording video production studios; as well as studios for instrument, vocal, dance and art instruction.
A Wide Variety of Programs Already Underway
The Salvation Army has already made a difference in area schools. For the past five years, The Salvation Army Kroc Project Team of instructors and program officers has run a wide range of arts, educational, sports, after-school programs and summer camps for students from four schools near the Kroc Center: Higgins Community Academy, Johnnie Coleman Academy, Kipling Elementary School and Songhai Elementary Learning Institute.
Bulls and White Sox Partner with The Salvation Army
Chicago White Sox Charities – the team's philanthropic arm – has generously donated $1 million to the Kroc Center. Kroc Center recreational facilities will include baseball and softball diamonds, where White Sox inner-city youth teams will play and train. Chicago Bulls Charities also donated $1 million. The main basketball court features the unmistakable Chicago Bulls logo center-court.
These grants are in addition to two anonymous lead gifts of $10 million and $2 million. The Bank of America has awarded $500,000 to the Kroc Center. The Searle Funds at the Chicago Community Trust also awarded two grants totaling $500,000. The Kroc Center has received 26 donations at $100,000 or above.
The Salvation Army announced that commitments of $37 million have been made so far in the ongoing fundraising efforts to build and endow the Kroc Center, with fundraising continuing during the ongoing campaign. This amount is in addition to the $109.8 million from the Joan Kroc estate, awarded to the Chicago project by The Salvation Army Central Territorial Headquarters for the 11 Midwestern States. The Salvation Army capital campaign will establish an endowment large enough to ensure operational start-up costs, funding for programming, program scholarships and materials, such as sports equipment and musical instruments. The Kroc Center will represent a total investment of $159.8 million, the largest single investment by a social service organization in Chicago's history.

Thailand (formerly Siam) is one of the top coffee producers in the world as of 2014. The country is ranked third among producing countries of Asia with Robusta accounting for 99% of its production. In 1891, the Board of Trade's Journal noted: "that at the time, coffee cultivation, in a suitable locality and under favourable conditions, offered more remunerative prospects than any other agricultural enterprise, but that Java did not export more than one-third of the amount which that island used to produce."
Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) is the chief crop grown in the country which provides a substantial economic return. Arabica is grown in northern Thailand. The six provinces in southern Thailand where Robusta is grown are the Chumphon, Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Krabi, Phangnga and Ranong with reported coverage of an area of 67831.52 ha.
Coffee production
Production in the southern part of the country is 80,000 tons of Robusta, and the northern region produces only arabica of about 500 tons. Twenty thousand tons of robusta coffee is for domestic consumption, in the form of dissolvable, roasted, powdered and tinned coffee. Organic coffee is considered suitable for cultivation in the mountains with an elevation range of 800 metres (2,600 ft) to 1,200 metres (3,900 ft). It is grown both in shaded areas and in open areas in full sun. Intercropping is also practised in hill areas along with fruit trees.
The production in the northern border region with Burma and Laos (The golden triangle) was initiated by the royal family of Thailand to replace opium for other crops. Under the Thai/United Nations Crop Replacement and Community Development Project coffee cultivation has been experimented with as a replacement crop for opium. Arabica has been recommended as a tasty variety as its yield is profitable to all categories of farmers, including the hill tribes.
According to FAO statistics for 2013, production was 50,000 tons from an area of 51,000 ha. The yield rate was 9,804 hectogram per ha, which placed it at the 18th position in the world ranking. Thailand is nowadays able to produce high-quality grades. In 2015 two types of coffee (Doi Tung and Doi Chaang) received a geographically protected trademark of the EU. This is comparable to Champagne, Parma ham or wine from Bordeaux.

Counter Argument: Status Quo Is the Way to Go for the Leafs
10 games into the season and panic has already started in Leaf Nation. The Toronto Maple Leafs have had a rough start to the season getting only 9 of a possible 20 points in the first 10 games with the bulk of them at home.
With a tough stretch of road games upcoming, the Leafs are in danger of having things go from bad to worse.
As a result there has been plenty of calls for change to salvage the season.
The thing is, there are 72 games remaining on the schedule and plenty of time to turn things around. The other thing is the Leafs currently hold the 8th and final playoff spot despite their bad start. Its what many predicted the team would be around in the first place so they are really no better no worse off than expected.
Change may help add a spark or even shake things up a little, but because a) the Leafs are limited in terms of resources and b) have firmly committed to what they have in place right now to try and get the job done this season, it is probably best for the team to maintain status quo and ride out the season to see what happens.
Gm John Ferguson's hands are tied until at least the trade deadline with the Leafs brushing up against the cap maximum. Therefore the only hope is for the current group to bring the Leafs out of their struggles. There has been calls for Ferguson's head as he has taken much of the blame for the team's current plight. However anyone new brought in will need plenty of time to turn things around and make the necessary changes. There are too many unmoveable parts thanks to contract length, salary and player options to decline leaving Toronto. there is not much anyone new could do different for this season at least.
There has been calls for the team to fire head coach Paul Maurice. This is mostly due to his goalie management skills, his team's inability to play defence, and the Leaf's unsuccessful special teams. But really he is only working with what was given to him. His lineups have often been depleted due to injuries and he has had to throw in plenty of minor league talent in key roles. The talent he does have is pretty much offensive minded. Therefore he implemented an attack system based on what he had. There is plenty of skill and offensive smarts on this team and lots of size. So using this to his advantage he wanted his troops to play aggressive, forecheck and try and hemm teams in their zone using their size to control the play and cycle the puck. He also encourages his D to join the rush as most of them are quite capable. The result has been the Leafs being one of the best offensive teams in the league. Maurice is only trying to play with the team's strengths.Like how expansion teams usually play trap hockey thanks to a lack of talent. Maurice has plenty of skill and thus uses it accordingly. 92 games, missing the playoffs by a point while the team still sits 8th currently is not enough reason to let him go. Sure he needs to improve the team defensively but thats ultimately up to the players to perform.
There are many good things to like about the Leafs and there still is a chance for the team to turn things around and turn it up a notch.
They are getting good goaltending. The numbers do not suggest this but both Andrew Raycroft and Vesa Toskala have played well. What they need to do now is to steal a game or two in the next bit to help the team get some confidence back and not worry so much that every mistake is going to end up in the net. While the use of both goalies keeps them fresh, I think one of them needs a run of games to get their own confidence going.
Offensively they are one of the best in the league. While they need to improve their PP, they are scoring enough to win. Nik Antropov has been a huge suprise being among the leading goal scorers in the NHL. He has a ton of confidence and has probably been their best player this year. I say probably because Mats Sundin will garner some votes as well. He is among the leading point getters so far this season and looks nothing like a 36 year old on the down side of his career. He is playing with purpose and fire and creating something almost every shift. To be able to be among the league's most potent offensive teams despite not having 3 potential top 6 forwards in the lineup is impressive. Not sure how long Antropov and Sundin can keep it up, but the Leafs will ride them for as long as possible.
It is surprising the Leafs are where they are, especially considering how atrocious they have been defensively.
Its obviously a part of the game the team needs to work on. They may not have the horses to play air tight D and perhaps as some have suggested, they should acquire a player or two who could help in their own end. But the defensive problems are a team issue and as a team they need to come together and shape up their play in their end.
Its a confidence thing as much as it is ability. The team lacks confidence in not only their abilities but the abilities of their teammates. There is no trust and therefore it has led to players running around chasing the puck and being out of position. Until they start believing in eachother, all the defensive schemes, systems and strategies will do the Leafs no good.
As mentioned earlier, maybe some goaltending heroics and stealing a couple of games in the next short while will instill the confidence in the team that a mistake will not cost them a goal every time. It may take a little while, but when the team gets some confidence, it should play much more relaxed and that can only help them defensively.
What has to stop immediately is the excessive penalties. They as much as the mistakes, breakdown and soft goals have cost the Leafs games. Their PK has improved, but still not good enough to handle 10 kills a game. The penalties are nothing short of selfish and lazy. There is no excuse for them. Maurice needs to start laying down the law for those taking dumb penalties. He tried that for a bit last game, benching Alex Ponikarovsky for a period for taking his 4th stupid penalty in 2 games. While it wasnt much of a punishment, Ponikarovsky responded with the tying goal. Maurice needs to use this tactic more often. That may be the only thing to get these players to learn.
The defensive mistakes and penalties will not stop for good. But the team can at least try to limit them. That is the best they can do and just about all anyone can ask for from this team.
While the struggles have been difficult, things are not as desperate as some may suggest. If they can someone manufacture a boost to the team, be it a strong game or a goalie stealing away 2 points, it will probably go right to their hands and legs and help them shake off the jitters. Getting away from the fishbowl with all these road games could help them gel as well and avoid hearing the nightly jeers of the early season games.
There is lots to like about the Leafs.
They have some decent young players playing fairly well and seemingly getting better. Players like White, Stajan and Steen are doing ok in increased roles and the team is chomping at the bit to have Coliacovo back as well as Wellwood.
Antropov has been a huge surprise and so has Simon Gamanche in his brief stint with the Leafs. Pony needs to avoid the box but he's on pace for 20 goals again. And even Raycroft has looked fresher and better this season.
This is their under 30 group and while they are not world class as say the youngsters that play for the Penguins or Hawks, its not so desolete as many claim. And the fact the farm team is in first with the help of guys like Stralman, Pogge, Kronvall, Tlusty and other youngsters can only be a good sign for the organization.
72 games is a long way to go. While this road stretch coming up will be difficult until things play out, more games are played and more time has passed, there is no need for knee jerk panic moves that may not change anything for the team and where it goes. The
y're not out of it yet.
45 Responses to Counter Argument: Status Quo Is the Way to Go for the Leafs
Very interesting thoughts. The discouraging thing about the Leafs so far, in my view, isn't their 9 points after 10 games. It's the fact that they're playing lousy.
Where last year they controlled the play for the most part and spent most of the time in the opposing team's zone, playing an effective puck possession game, this year is the complete opposite: They spend most of the time pinned in their own zone and they almost never have the puck, and when they do, they lose it in a hurry.
If they can change this quickly, then sure, the team's fortunes can turn around. But once trade deadline comes and they're out of it, they need to cut their losses and think of the future.
On pace stats
White 16 goals
Kaberle 24 goals
Gamache 25 goals, 50 points
Sundin 140 points 50 goals
Poni 35 goals
Stajan 60 points
Blake 90 points
Antropov 55 goals
That's not going to last. More than a tad inflated. You can't use those stats for anything productive, otherwise Mike Cammaleri will be scoring 82 goals this season.
exactly my point. by the same token, the negative aspects are overinflated. however its not unreasonable to thinkthe leafs could lead the NHL in goals for. I dont remember a team leading the league in goals for ever missing the playoffs.
lack of depth and penalties. ofcourse they will be hemmed in when they take 10 penalties a game.
i dont think they have the depth to sustain that pressure. they have no 4th line and when they're on, they either give up a goal or get in trouble thus resulting in lost momentum.
the other thing…….wozniewski's defence pair playing often when sundin is on the ice. he is terrible. i'd rather see mccabe/kabby go from 22-23 minutes to 25-26 and shave off any time from woz. thats what kills momentum. he gets in so much trouble…especially with kubina running around or gill cause he is equally as slow. they lose momentum taht way. i honestly dont know how anyone can justify his play as being good. to me he does more harm than good. and if him playing at the expense of stralman or even kronvall or heck even the minor league guys is justifyable, thats just wrong and bad decision making.
its usually one shift that carries momentum to the next one. they cant keep it up cause they have too many weak players in key spots. i so cant wait for coliacovo to come back.
The leafs will be in the top few again in goals for, yes. But do you actually think their defensive aspects have been overinflated? Both goalies are playing well and they are still getting shell-shocked.
Toskala is playing well, Raycroft is playing average. This defense is WAY worse than it was last year. and i dont know why it is. for whatever reason every ounce of progress McCabe made last season has gone out the window.
if the leafs can keep the hot offense, and controll the play like they did last season, the goals against wil go down.
of course by contrast, if they cant do that, the offense could cool down and send this team into a major losing slide.
Agreed on Woz. Just doesn't look like NHL material. Maybe a no. 7 guy if you've got nobody else. You're right also that Carlo should be able to help the D.
I think Raycroft and Toskala are playing equally well. Neither of them are playing bad enough to lose, but neither of them are playing well enough to steal a game.
The leafs need Team Defense. Peca would be useful right now. As well as Mike Johnson who just signed with the blues for next to nothing. They need a shutdown line to control top offensive lines. Clearly, they don't have the 2 defense in the back to do it, so they should start with the front.
It's been, on average, 10 games into the season for most teams, just because Cammalleri is on pase for over 100 points and zetterberg is on pace for almost 200 points doesnt mean its going to happen, and at least in their cases these are guys who have had point per game averages at least once in their careers.
max talbot is on pace to score 40 goals this season, it doesnt mean its gonna happen.
Stajan has been scoreless in what 6 out of 10 games, just because guys like he and gamache have had a COUPLE of MULTIPOINT games EARLY on doesnt mean they'll keep that pace up, look deeper than the projected numbers on espns stats page.
I'd bet none of those players reach anything close to those numbers, with MAYBE the exception of kaberle and Sundin.
leaf fans . . .
This is exactly what I told Senators101 yesterday (about Raycroft and last year's defence compared to this year) and he called me a bonehead. I don't think he likes me, no?
did I anywhere on that reply say those players would REACH those marks. i simply put down a few facts. it shows that the first 10 games of the season, have not been as negative as people say.
Toskala stole the game against florida, and Raycroft lost the game against chicago.
Peca and mike johnson and individual defensive assets wont help the leafs. the leafs are a bang and crunch all offense, control the play type team. they need to do that to get back into the win column.
Last year's defense was better than this year (I AGREE). BUT IT STILL WASN'T GOOD.
I know they are that type of team, but for them to win then, they have to have shutdown defense. Teams can't fight fire with fire unless they got defense to back them up, which the leafs dont have.
Raycroft let in one bad goal. Chicago had 39 shots and 3 powerplay goals to win. You can't look at one bad goal and judge his performance all season on that. With the game against Carolina, the Leafs were up 1-0 and the first two goals that carolina scored to go up 2-1 into the first intermission, were toskala's fault. After that, the leafs played like shit, but it was because of him they were down in the first place. I'm not blaming him and saying his performance was bad all season because of that.
I said Toskala STOLE a game, Raycroft lost a game. all the other games were not really decided by goaltending.
Minnesota can play shut down defense. New Jersey can play shut down Defense. Brian McCabe and Ian White CANNOT play shut down defense. They need to play better team defense. They need to play well enough that they arent handing other teams chances(ala end of last year) but they can't play shut down defense.
Which is exactly my point. The Leafs don't have defense that can shutdown a top line.
What I said was that if a team wants to fight fire with fire, they NEED a shutdown defense, something the leafs dont have. So, the only way around that is dedicating one forward line that can sakte and play good solid defensive hockey to assist in SLOWING down the big boys on the other teams.
Ex. In Ottawa, our coach likes to play alfy's line against the other big boys, but we got Volch and Phillips helping out if alfy, spezz, and heater cannot contain them. (This option isn't available to the leafs.)
If Alfy, Spezz, and Heater cannot play, their second choice is Kelly, Vermette, and Neil. All three can skate and play well defensively. With these guys, you don't need Phillips and volch, instead, they play Redden and Meszaros (not superstars defensively, but capable).
This option IS available to the leafs. Just one line to slow down the others teams big line and they'll be in better shape.
i disagree. look at detroit. They play very well offensively because they have defensemen who control the puck, and chip in on the offense (keep the puck in the zone, stuff like that). Those defensemen (Kronwall, Lidstrom, Rafalski) dont play shut down defensive style, they merely keep the puck in front of them. At their best McCabe and Kaberle can do this, but are no where close to it right now.
carlo is terrific its too bad his career likely will be over by age 30 and he'll only play like 60 games a year. he's the next al iafrate LOL
What you should be concerned about is how the goals are being scored.
1. toronto is, like last season, one of only 2 teams in the top 10 in goals scored that is being out scored, buff being the other. and both teams only have 3 wings. so yes, they could be in the towards the top and miss the playoffs if they keep that up.
2. Look at the team as a whole, there are only two players on the team with more than 3 goals. antropov, who one cannot expect to continue at this torrid pace given that hes never broken 20 goals in his career, and sundin, who can be counted on to be a great player, but cannot do it himself. Blake is on pace for 20 goals, hes more likely to get around 25 to 27 than he is to get 40 again, and with tucker out indefinitely, theres not much goal scoring depth on this team. Poni and steen will probably get around 20 again.
but look at teams like these 4 from last season
1. Buff (team total 298) two around 40, two around 30, three around 20, and 1 around 15, thats 215 for 8 guys
2. Ott (team total 286) one 50 goal scorer, two guys around 30, two guys around 20 and a 3 more at 15. thats almost 200 goals between 8 guys,
3. Pittsburgh (team total 267) pulled out three 30s three more around 20 and 3 guys in the mid teens, thats 200 goals between 9 guys,
4. Colorado (team total 267) 4 who average 30 between them, one player at 20 and five guys at 15 or above for 215 goals between 10 guys
this is what a team has to do to be leading the league in goals, the leafs cant do that, they dont have the depth. To be a top 3 league leader in goals for I think it is reasonable to look for your top nine guys to get you 200 goals Minimum, at this time I'd break down the leafs like this:
Sundin and Antro 30 each, Blake 25, Steen and Poni kaberle around 20 each and to round out the top 9, Gamache, Stajan and Mccabe 15 each. thats 190 in a best of sitiuation, thats giviing antro 12 over his best year, kaberle 9 more than last year and probably rounding up on gamache and maybe even blake. They will be above average, but they wont be in the top all year, and unless they shore up their defense the playoffs might slip through their fingers
disagree on raycroft losing that game against chicago. 5 on 3 was not his doing. its his stupid teammates taking selfish penalties. and the penalties didnt stop there. its the skaters who kill the momentum they have taking penalty after penalty.
he did face like 40 shots. was there a soft goal that ended up being the differnece? yes so it can be perceived he blew it.
but you could say taht too in the atlanta game which toskala should have had the 1st goal for atlanta. they lost 5-4 = the differnece. so you could as easily argue the goalie blew that game too.
or the alfredsson goal that won it for the sens in ottawa. it was weak…..but it was the team to blame for again leaving the goalie in situations where they have to kill off a million penalties.
can you single out ray last year? yes. this year? no.
But look at Detroits defensive forwards:
Holmstrom is a workhorse
Kris Draper plays for Canada for this specific reason
Johan Franzen
Sameulsson (always gets back to fill in his defensive role)
Filppula fast and defensively aware
Combine those guys with a couple extremely solid defensive defenders in Chelios, Lilja, Lebda (solid two-way defenseman).
Although Lidstrom and Rafalski are both offensively gifted, they have much more defensive talent than people like Kaberle. Rafalski was the go-to guy in NJ and has experience from that team of Defense first. And you can't say anything bad about Lidstrom, ever.
So yea, they are extremely gifted up front, but even they have shutdown guys on both ends of the ice, offense and defense.
Or the next Tim Horton. He had tons of injury issues early on, but eventually recovered and the rest is history.
the leafs had 13 players with 10 or more goals last season, Oneill left, and Bell and Blake were added. This team scores as team, not as a few players.
I agree with you when you say that the leafs must remain status quo as they are playing without the likes of Colaiacovo, Wellwood, Bell and Tucker and have not found their number one goalie yet. I agree with Sundin and Antropov being great this year. However on the other hand i disagree with what you say about the leafs skilled offense being able to take them into the post season. Defense wins games, offense can only get you a lead and nothing more.
I know my article was very critical about the leafs even though it was just 10 games into the season and you do make logical points but they are not sound points. The leafs are in 8th spot because they've played 2 or 3 more games then almost every other team. They've got a pathetic 9 points out of a possible 20. You say that at the end of the day it is up to the players to perform and the coach should not get fired. Well if that is the case then why do coaches in the NHL get fired? Maurice's coaching decisions are terrible. McCabe and Kaberle aren't even paired together. Kubina's getting the most ice time on the team. He keeps breaking lines up as if they were Ritz crackers. Improving this hockey club goes far beyond benching players for taking dumb penalties.
You then go on to talk about Ferguson's hands being tied until the trade deadline. It's his own fault for his hands being tied because he signed players like Kubina and McCabe and Gill to lucrative contracts. Ferguson needs to be on his way out because the problems he created are unsolvable. Who's going to pick up Kubina's hefty contract through trade?
Players need to look at themselves in the mirror and put it on themselves to improve this hockey club on their own. For example Steen has as many goals as McCabe has in his own net. This should be a career year for this guy.
I know that there is a lot of time to turn things around but facts are facts, the Leafs are not a very good hockey team because of poor personnel.
Mistakes you made: Kronvall is Kronwall
Gamanche is Gamache
Coliacovo is Colaiacovo
92 games is 82 games
Great catch making note that they OWNED THE 8TH AND FINAL PLAYOFF SPOT.
Can we stop this worthless leafs talk HTR? Anyone notice there are OTHER TEAMS playing hockey too?
92 games = 82 last year + 10 this year
sorry….i wasnt sure if you meant that or not…good article though but seriously man leafs are in trouble….thats the bottom line
Ya, but who cares about them?
haha well they posted just 1 of the two i wrote. i had another argument that goes the other way. where the leafs need major wholesale change. i wanted to see what both sides of the story would bring in terms of opinion.
ok, whats your definition of shut down. mine is the wingers cover the boards, and the d crumbles everytime the puck comes close to the blueline. defensemen who play that style cannot score much.
the more aggressive defense wil see the d pump the puck around the boards and pinch a bit to keep the puck in the zone. Things that detroit does very successfully. Detroit very rarely plays shut down style, as they are such a dominant puck control team. However, defensemen on Minnesota, Montreal, New Jersey will play shut down style.
The leafs defensemen are not suited for this syle. they are suited for a more passive defensive game. where they keep the puck in front of them, and in the attack zone as much as possible. However, thus far they have done a terrible job executing this, causing opposition rushes and a dreadful transition game alltogether.
nobody write any. thats the problem man. when i posted this it said one article waiting for submission. i bet you that was the tavares one. …also leaf related. if no one writes anything else, you cant really post it right?
so blame the fans of those teams if they dont want to talk about their team.
I dont think you are understanding what I'm saying.
Fine, the leafs d aren't that type of defense. But instead of having battaglia, kilger, and co. on the checking line, grab a couple forwards like maltby, draper, etc, to slow down teams big lines. Its only 1 of the 4 lines that have to do this. the other three lines can play the way they are playing. They simply need a line to defend big scoring units.
you're saying throw a pahlson, moen, niedermayer line out there.
The Leafs have zero forwards who play like that, and the maltby's and maddens of the world aren't easy to come by 10 games into the season.
Yes they score as a team, and as a team they were about 50 goals behind the leader in the NHL last seaon, tying them for 8th, but they were still, when they year was over, the only team in the top 10 to be outscored. This team isnt really that much better this year than last, and with tucker hurt, they may not be better this year with the loss of his production for a prolonged period of time.
Besides, production for guys like chad kilger should be a bonus, not something to be counted on. if your top 6 forwards and top 2 defenders cant keep up with the rest of the top teams in the league then the leafs are in trouble because they dont have the defense to play like jersey and win games 2-1 or 3-2, they have to have guys that, game in and game out, can be counted on to produce, and i dont see it. sorry.
…..and 3,516 goals against.
But the parade route has been set out and everything.
My thoughts on the game: Leafs 5, Penguins 2
Needless to say, I'm happy tonight.
I don't understand this team. One night they look like the '74 Capitals, then the next night, they look like contenders.
Amazing how an infusion of speed and youth can help.
This Tlusty kid looks like something. Maybe the next Sundin?
His 2nd goal brought back memories of Mike Bossy. Pouring down the wing at high speed and firing a perfect laser risk shot to the top corner.
Steen was also excellent with 3 points. Antropov was dangerous as always. Sundin had an off night by his standards.
But Gill really stood out as a horse on the defence, especially while short-handed. He seemed to be in two places at once.
Overall, a great effort. Amazing how good defence combined with solid goaltending can stop even one of the most potent lines in the NHL.
I am saying put a line like that out there. Peca should been re-signed. Mike Johnson was available for about 700k 2 weeks ago. Find a third and all of a sudden, there's a line.
My thoughts on the game: Leafs 4, Rangers 1
Needless to say, I'm happy yet again.
Finally we see some semblance of a good hockey team.
Pohl had his best game of the season. In fact, the entire 4th line was dangerous offensively and responsible in their own end. Impressive.
Love the "kid line" – Steen, Stajan and Tlusty.
Antropov…excellent yet again.
Most importantly – Toskala held his team in the game early on until the Leafs found their legs. He gave the team a chance to win. Surprise, surprise!
Amazing what happens when you combine good defensive play with solid goaltending.
Please keep it up, boys.

I'm sure the critics will be shut up for a few nights. The Leafs played an awesome road game tonight. The shots were in favor of the Rangers, but there were alot of poor outside shots. It was a pretty even game, but the Leafs know how to put the puck in the net. We have Washington coming up now and I hope the trend continues. Good all around game.
I have to hand it to you. You were one of those few people who said the Leafs will turn it around.
I predicted a 100 point season when the year started, but then was disheartened by the team's play before this road trip. But now we see them coming together.
Hopefully we can play as well at home as on the road.
I was hanging in there. They have the talent and alot of team speed. If you noticed the last few games, they are taking away the neutral zone and the D aren't pitching unless the puck is deep. I just hope that Tucker and McCabe are picking up a few things to help their game.
Indeed, the past 2 games were very encouraging. The D is playing much more conservatively and the forwards are more positionally sound.
Clearly this is not the same team that lost to Atlanta.
Not we just have to replicate this in home games.

MANCHESTER, England -- Almost half of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) treated with etanercept (Enbrel) achieved a state of minimal disease activity after 1 year of treatment, with younger patients being more likely to do so, a researcher reported here.
Among 496 patients with JIA enrolled in the British Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Rheumatology (BSPAR) Etanercept Cohort Study who started treatment with the biologic and were followed for at least a year, 49% were classified as having minimal disease activity after 12 months of therapy, according to Lianne Kearsley-Fleet, MSc, of the University of Manchester.
A factor that independently predicted minimal disease activity was younger age, with an odds ratio of 0.60 (95% CI 0.38-0.95) for those 9 years and older, she reported in a poster session at the annual meeting of the British Society for Rheumatology.
Etanercept today is routinely prescribed for children with JIA who have not adequately responded to conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs.
To examine the clinical effects of this in a large population and also to identify factors that contribute to response, Kearsley-Fleet and colleagues analyzed data from BSPAR and found that 67% of patients were female, median age was 11.2 at the time of etanercept initiation, and median disease duration was 3 years.
Among patients who stopped taking the biologic during the first year of treatment, the reasons included remission for one, lack of efficacy for 17, and adverse events for nine.
The median Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score at baseline was 17, which fell to 3 after 12 months of treatment (P<0.001).
A 30% improvement according to American College of Rheumatology criteria (ACR Pedi 30) was achieved by 77% of patients at 1 year, while 50% (ACR Pedi 50) and 90% (ACR Pedi 90) improvements were seen in 72% and 39%, respectively.
Factors that were independently associated with achievement of an ACR Pedi 90 included shorter disease duration, with an odds ratio of 0.91 (95% CI 0.85-0.97); no use of oral corticosteroids, with an odds ratio for oral corticosteroid use of 0.48 (95% CI 0.29-0.80); and a history of chronic anterior uveitis (OR 2.26, 95% CI 1.08-4.71).
No concurrent oral corticosteroid use also independently predicted achievement of minimal disease activity at 1 year, with an odds ratio for steroid use of 0.57 (95% CI 0.35-0.93).
"The finding of a greater response in younger children and in those with a history of uveitis warrants further investigation and may relate to differences in disease phenotype, drug pharmacokinetics, or adherence," Kearsley-Fleet commented.
"Our next project will be to look at whether the benefits are specifically for etanercept or also for other biologics to see if the effects are specific to etanercept or are a result of better disease control," she told MedPage Today.
Two co-authors disclosed financial relationships with Pfizer and AbbVie.

Douglas Carswell MP: "I was wrong"
It's not often a Member of Parliament admits they are wrong without an inquiry or scandal around them first. How refreshing from Douglas Carswell MP...
My biggest regret as an MP is that I failed to oppose the 2008 Climate Change Act.
It was a mistake. I am sorry.
On the very day the Labour government passed this fatuous attempt to "stop global warming", it was, if I remember rightly, snowing. Had I opposed the Bill, it wouldn't have made much difference, but I feel I should have known better.
Unlike much of the gesture legislation that goes through Parliament, this law has turned out to have real consequences. The Climate Change Act has pushed up energy prices, squeezing households and making economic recovery ever more elusive.
The aim of the Climate Change Act was to create a low carbon economy. I fear the Act will do that, but perhaps not the way intended. The Climate Change Act is giving us a low carbon economy the way that pre-industrial Britain had a low carbon economy.
Cutting carbon emissions by 26 percent by 2020 – as the Act requires – means, in effect, making energy costs so high that some will have to go without. How is that progress?
The Act's carbon price floors push up prices. Instead of energy producers competing to supply households and businesses with a product at a price they are willing to pay, the legislation introduces a system of price fixing. Suppliers switch to so called "renewable" energy sources, and the end user pays.
An unaccountable quango – the Committee on Climate Change – gets to determine energy policy much the way that central bankers now run monetary policy. The precedent is not a good one. Adair Turner, head honcho at the Financial Service Authority, was its chairman.
The tragedy is that it does not have to be this way. Technological innovation is discovering new ways of obtaining vast reserves of fossil fuel. As our understanding grows, the idea that human activity alone causes climate change seems less certain than it once did. Wind turbines, it turns out, are renewable in the sense that they need replacing every 25 years – or perhaps even every 15.
Too often, public policy in Whitehall is shaped by residual ideas and assumptions – which turn out to be wrong. Nowhere is this more so than when it comes to energy policy. It is time for a fundamental rethink about energy policy – starting with an acknowledgment that 2008 Act has got it wrong.

I'm trapped home today, all thanks to the cable guy/gal. It's a long story, best saved for some snowy night in front of the fire, but suffice to say that our long-awaited high speed internet will be installed today – between noon and four o'clock.
Or so I believe. Which means I'm stuck home today. I could have gotten up early and done the few errands I have hanging on me but morning are generally reserved for "school time" for NR and heck, I just didn't have the oomph in me today anyway. So we're putting off the pharmacy and the library until tomorrow.
The good news about being at home with no plans to leave is that I can finally try out a time-intensive recipe that I've been wanting to eat – French style pot roast. Considering this very old dish used to take up to three days to make, I won't balk at the four hours or so it is going to take today. Most of the that time is hands-off time – roasting in the oven – so I can get some crochet done while I watch "Amelie" (and finally know why so many people love this French film). Wow, you'd think I planned all this Gallic fun in advance but it is just a coincidence. Quel Surprise!
The red wine is reducing on the stove and the garlic cloves are all pressed. I can tell you that the house smells delicious and if I only had a fresh baguette to munch on, I'd be a happy camper (or whatever that translates to in French) right now. But I'll get by with my ham sandwich until dinnertime.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.

This dish was easy, pretty, and really delicious. I love the interplay between spicy and sweet, so I really loved this dish. The smoky heat of the chipotles in adobo was a lovely foil against the sweetness from the caramelized butternut squash. The addition of the fried egg further cut down the heat and added some protein to the dish, while the parsley added some extra color and a nice touch of freshness. Zak ate his without the egg and really enjoyed it that way, too.
Chipotle Polenta with Roasted Butternut Squash and a Fried Egg
2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1″ cubes
2 tbs. olive oil
2 tsp. garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 cups vegetable stock
1 cup polenta
2 chipotles in adobo sauce, seeds removed and finely minced
1 tbs. adobo sauce
2 tbs. curly parsley, roughly chopped
3/4 cup 1% milk
1 cup Gouda cheese, shredded
2 large farm fresh eggs
Non-stick cooking spray
Preheat oven to 400º.
Cover a medium baking sheet with tinfoil. Place butternut squash cubes on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and garlic powder. Place in oven and roast 30-40 minutes, shaking pan halfway through, until lightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, bring vegetable stock to a rolling boil over medium-high heat in a small stock pot. A little at a time, slowly whisk in polenta. Add chipotle peppers and adobo sauce. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer for 30 minutes or until polenta is tender.
Stir in parsley. Slowly whisk in milk and bring back to a gentle simmer. In small batches, add cheese, constantly whisking. Simmer until desired consistency.
Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray. Crack eggs, season with freshly cracked black pepper, and cook until desired consistency.
Serve polenta topped with butternut squash and a fried egg.
