In the United States, Thanksgiving is a four day weekend which usually marks a pause in school and college calendars. Most business and government workers (78% in 2007) are also given both Thanksgiving and the day after as paid holidays. Families and friends gather for a reunion, a day of thanks, and a festive meal. Thanksgiving meals are traditionally family events where certain kinds of food are served. First and foremost, turkey is the featured item in most Thanksgiving feasts (so much so that Thanksgiving is sometimes facetiously referred to as \"Turkey Day\"). Stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, corn, turnips, and pumpkin pie are commonly associated with Thanksgiving dinner. Often guests bring food items or help with cooking in the kitchen as part of a happy, communal meal. In keeping with the holiday theme of giving thanks, during the socializing or meal, people talk about what they are thankful for or tell about experiences during the past year which have caused them to feel grateful.

Fireworks have been associated with the Fourth of July since 1777. read more about it in the wiki which explains history, interesting facts and how we celebrate this day. --- One of the long-standing traditions of distributed computing projects is the formation of teams. Not just a tradition, a little healthy competition encourages active participation, to the general gain of the project. Team USA was created to show we have American pride and that good ol\' American know-how is still a reality. If you\'re a patriotic American, this is the team to join. If you\'re not an American at all, you\'re still welcome. This has always been a country with open arms.

I didn\'t know that this project in reqards to team credits was different than all the other BOINC projects. So much for a \'standard\' system. If that is the case then I won\'t worry about it.
