I'm sorry to bother you, I downloaded and installed an echoe rom for my S7 Edge off the XDA website probably 6 months or so ago. The build is slowly crashing and everytime I look to update it, I get directed here. I created an account and all, but it still says I have no access to the recent post showing update. Am I able to update or what do I need to do?
Hey take a look at a converssation I added you to that I was having with Sochu this AM. I got WiFi Calling to work with another port -- maybe it will give us some clues ...... see the start of the conversation

Yeah, the end result should be a report which contains a jboss-deployment-structure.xml file and a MANIFEST.MF entry (Dependencies:) such that the user can choose.
However, it is easier to create a profile for AS7 which contains the module identifier for all classes, and extend the Archive class with a new field (getModuleIdentifier) which defaults to the archive name.
Then have a tool output the data with module identifier, class and archive name - which the profile loads. That way it is only done once.
Having said that, Navin is working on adding support for enterprise archives which is step 1 - as users deploys .war, .ear, and so on. So those are the files we need to generate the report based on.
Navin, anything you want to add ?
3. Re: AS 7 JBoss Modules Tattletale Reportbmaxwell Sep 9, 2011 1:07 AM (in response to jesper.pedersen)
Support for ear/war/etc would be good, but we have gotten around this by making sure the deployments are exploded. For example tattletale run on a zipped war doesn't produce any output, however if we unzip the war, then tattletale generates the reports we have needed. It maybe missing the classes in WEB-INF/classes, but typically in our use case the classes we are looking for are in the WEB-INF/lib jars.
I have some code I wrote to take a jboss distribution zip and generate a list of all of the classes in it. It is a little messy, but let me know if it would be useful. Basically it unzips the zip, then it will find all of the deployment types, and then it unzips them in place, it makes a copy so that it does not mess with the original. A note when adding code to handle deployments such as ear, we have seem some users with massive deployments around 1 GB, so using temp files would be recommended else there will be memory issues.
4. Re: AS 7 JBoss Modules Tattletale Reportnavssurtani Sep 9, 2011 6:26 AM (in response to bmaxwell)
In terms of the war/ear support that's nearly there. In fact, it should get done by this avo UTC. What's happened is that the zipped up war file gets extracted out into a temp directory and then the reports built from that. It's a bit hacky I guess but that's done.
Once that is done I'll get onto the JBoss Modules part of it and get crunching on that.

Beat the Streak Report: Monday, July 26
Sorry if all your keyboards got a little messy, but it was Gravy Train Sunday all across Streakland!
The day's six most popular kids in class each got hits, as Robinson Cano
{7.9 percent), Josh Hamilton (7.4), Miguel Cabrera (6.5), Jayson Werth
(5.1), Mark Teixeira (4.4) and Joey Votto (4.0) combined to extend the
streaks of 38.4 percent of the galaxy.
But the lesson of the day is that BTS-ers really, really love Miguel Cabrera.
Or they just:
? Didn't realize the Tigers were scheduled for a double-header
? Knew about the twinbill but were too lazy to go to their iPhone/computer and make the change (guilty!)
Alas, this is reason No. 4,421 that Miggy is my Jumpstart Pick.
Time for Monday's picks
Oh, hello there …
? Alex Rodriguez: .375 AVG (9-for-24) lifetime vs. Indians starter Jake Westbrook
? Asdrubal Cabrera: .467 AVG (7-for-15) lifetime vs. Yankees starter Javier Vazquez
? Vernon Wells: .455 AVG (5-for-11) lifetime vs. Orioles starter Brad Bergesen
Feeling kinda spicy?
? Mark Kotsay: .368 AVG (7-for-19) lifetime vs. Mariners starter Felix Hernandez
You'll thank me later …
? Hanley Ramirez: .077 AVG (1-for-13) lifetime vs. Giants starter Barry Zito
? Johnny Damon: .125 AVG (2-for-16) lifetime vs. Rays starter Matt Garza
? Kevin Youkilis: .200 AVG (3-for-15) lifetime vs. Angels starter Joel Pineiro
Leaderboard time!
A new leader of Streakland emerged over the weekend, as
"richard.jucksch" is now king of the castle with a 35-gamer after Joey
Votto's bountiful day at the plate.
One interesting tidbit is that MLB.com's own Ian Kay — co-creator of the highly informative and super-daffy "Fantasy Goodness" blog — is now sixth on the leaderboard with a 28-game streak, the longest in company history.
Let's all hope whoever Kay's selection is tonight goes hitless — the
disparity between his highest streak and mine (11) is slowly killing me,
plus I'd rather not lose my job to some 22-year-old punk.

Dave, yesterday was all gravy but if the Yankee game doesnt get restarted, cano and swisher would've both gone o-fer. And you make no mention of the masacre that occured on Sat with Cano and Pujols both going 0-fer.
Anyways GL to all today, Im goin with Polanco.
Top2500 will be up by about 2est.
what's even more amazing ( lots of ppl don't realize) after Joe's 56 ended he went right back at it the very next day with another 20+ hit streak.
Hello guys and girls. I have picked Cano as he hits way better at night than day. He hits Westbrook at a .500 clip and Westbrook sucks against the Yanks.
The other funny thing was at 1 PM when it locked Dave didn't have a selection but like an hour later it had him choosing Miggy. It must of been the jump start pick.
Locked in Vernon Wells. Don't feel super confidant but I thought other picks were just as iffy. He only played the first game and PH in the second so I don't think he will be tired out.
Hey bloggers………I'm riding high on my highest streak of the contest…a ******** 13-gamer. It's made me realize just how incredibly difficult it is to attempt a 57-gamer…not just in this contest…but more importantly how our boy Joe went day in and day out…getting hits in 56 consecutive games….astounding. Anyone with streaks over 20 has my respect……
Anyway, best of luck to the crew……I've placing hope on Cano to get me to #14 today……his batting average and his 4-for-8 against Westbrook is all I'm going on at this point.
In beat the streak, it's awesome when your pick gets a hit on a day with a lot of resets. On the other hand it's embarrassing when your pick results in a reset on a day that few were reset.
Initially I had Johnny Damon for yesterday picked but then switched when I found out bout the double header. My streak would have reset anyway because Damon PINCH HIT (0 for 1) in the 1st game. But if you were to pick a player in a double header and they skip one game completely and get 1+ hits in the other game would your streak extend or stay where it is?
As for yesterday's reset, the only Reds player that is reliable is Joey Votto who got 2 hits while the rest of that team got 1 hit. Meanwhile the Twins got 19 hits without either of the M&M boys.
Back at 0 in BTS, my picks;
Beat the Streak: A-Rod
Survivor: Blue Jays
Home run: Ryan Howard
Highest no selections that are getting reset:
Beat the streak: "blaineevans29" (page 4) with a streak of 20
Survivor: "baseballboy52" (page 1) with a streak of 12
Home run: "jronning" (page 1) with a streak of 3
I am right behind mr juksch on the leaderboard. man, this gets on the nerves a bit as you go. Today, my pick was Placido Polanco, who just singled to lead off the 5th, another day, another hit. My streak now stands at 34

GL to all
Dang, Cano could be quite the upset tonight. I wanted to pick him, but I was worried that A-Rod could get a day off to rest his wrist after getting pluncked on it yesterday. Therefore by over thinking, I was fearful that Cano would be pitched around a little more. I just hate those popular picks when all seems well.
Cano could be a suspect pick but everyone one of the picks are today. Just imagine everyone bombs out except Ichiro. I don't think its a remote possibility. At least, Ichiro has one thing going for him. He got a hit of Danks last week after being owned and he is 0-fer for 2 days in a row. I cannot recall him going hitless 3 days in a row but he is @ the lowest point for him in a long time.
If I surived today I thought tomorrow looks lot easier but I just realized a lot of the weak pitchers are going against weak hitting too. Millwood against Toronto.
The Angels made a desperate fool move that will just cost them lots of money for the next 2years. I am beginning to think Haren is no longer the pitcher he once was. He has been getting hit hard in National League. I don't see this guy suddenly boucing back and pitching like the way he used to. American League bats will hit him hard. If depleted Red Sox hammers him tonight, the Angels' GM will throw up his Taco Bell Gorditas he had for lunch.
The AL/NL debate is a very childish way to view pitchers. The difference is that he's going from a non-contendor back to being in the race and having a chance to win. Haren wasn't going to get that in Arizona and if he's going to be an ace, he has to step it up now that the adrenaline rush should be back. Besides, assuming he pitches against mostly division rivals in the next ten weeks, he really doesn't have all that much to fear. The way I see it, if he pitches well like he should, then that's petty cash when aces go for $20+ million these days.
" The difference is that he's going from a non-contendor back to being in the race and having a chance to win."
When was this guy ever in a race? Its well known Amerian league is much tougher to pitch in. Show me one team in National League with line-ups like TX, DET & BOS (before the injury meltdown) & NYY. If you look at the innings he threw over the years and how he has thrown this year, I wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole. Its way too late into the season to think this is a mere slump. He has been consistently mediocre this year. And the velocity is down on his fastball. I think Arizona just got a huge save in a bad investment. They got a great use out of him and maybe dumping him at just the right moment. I think Saunders actually has better chance of pitching rest of the year and next year.
feeling nervous as my streak of 14 is the highest my streak has ever gone but I have only been doing this since June. My previous highest streak was at 13 and I thought I was going to stop at 13 again as Swisher was due up 5th in the final inning and sneaked a hit over the 2bman.
Going with Votto as Cano hasn't been hitting like he has but I knew he would get about 20% of the vote so I went against the field and Votto has been hot as of late with a hitting streak of 6 or 7 and all but 2 have been multi hit games. Went with my heart on this pick as a Reds fan was close to picking Phillips as he has been struggling and I feel like he is due to at least get 1 hit in this game (3 for 30) in his last 7 games.
O yea GL to all except Cano lol. cuz I was close to picking him
@btsplayer. what is yur nickname in the BTS?
Blog master: "…MLB.com's own Ian Kay…"
Here's hoping IanK goes 57! That's really mean of me 'cause he would be automatically disqualified as a employee of MLBAM, MLB, et all, correct?
However, if he does make it to 43 or better, what then? Would kinda mess up anyone thinking his streak was the one to beat for the 10k consolation prize. If he does make it that far, hopefully MLB will pull his entry so it does not cause any confusion.
"Knew about the twinbill but were too lazy to go to their iPhone/computer and make the change (guilty!) "
Wow, if that is true, that is freaking pathetic.
You forgot about Reason # 3.
That people thought Cabrera would get a hit in both games.
When Chipper Jones had his .400 1st half, a majority of the board still went with Chipper.
I am not completely sure what happened, but I think he actually delivered both times.
Man. The leader is just chugging along. He sure loves the "soft" hits though. I hope one day soon that sole "soft" line drive is caught by some crazy diving outfielder.
I thought I picked well but VW but he has only one hit. Everyone else in TOR is having a batting practice session. I guess I am slightly lucky too.

Cano pickers may have one more AB. I had uneasy feeling about going against Westbrook. Not only because Cano is either slumping still or about to come out of it (not sure which one) but Westbrook is very hard to figure. He will give up hits to least expected hitters from what I recall. He is almost back to his old diminant self. What a comeback for this guy.
"Would the inclusion of his entry affect your picking at all?" It does but I guess MLB will say it shouldn't affect you.
I think they will let him play but he reaches any imporatant milestoes, I think they will just ignore. Lets say if gets to 57, they will just announce to us that play along and ignore his streak.
I'm actually a bit surprised MLB knowingly allows members to play and have their streaks public. A creative lawyer of a disgruntled player could try for a lawsuit settlement.
Playing devil's advocate & me being the disgruntled player, let's say I made a point that I adjusted my strategy so I (being 2nd place) wouldn't pick the same as the "leader" (later found out to be an MLB employee). My argument: I analyzed his picks so I wouldn't pick same as him should he fall and I then I wouldn't by not having the same pick. Ok? Well, if the leader/employee didn't play I would have picked more conservatively 'cause I'd be in 1st place vs 2nd, correct? Weak? Plausible? That's for the lawyers.
A workaround? I would think BTS could allow their folks to play in a private group where a flag in the database only allows the picks/streaks to be viewed when in that group only.
Anyway, just bored waiting for the night games & thinking out loud.
"When was this guy ever in a race?" How about 2006, 2008, 2009 for starters? The guy is durable, pitches over 200 innings, leads in strikeouts. Not batting will help him stay rested in between innings, Pitching all of his innings will keep the bullpen fresher, and strikeouts keep defense out of the equation to help them stay fresher, off the DL, and allows LAA to not need to play their best defensive players day in, day out.
"Its well known American league is much tougher to pitch in." That's such an empty statement because fans see what they want to see. Did you watch interleague this year? The AL won by the mere margin of 134-118. That's a matter of only eight games won that could have been lost if it weren't for plain bad teams in the NL like Houston and Pittsburgh that combined for 5 wins in 30 chances. I really dislike the 'AL is harder to hit in than the NL' argument because the only reason that AL teams seemed jacked is because they can afford to DH heavyset players who have below average defense and eliminate the automatic out that is the pitcher slot. It's therefore pointless for me to relate an NL team to the NYY who have near unlimited finds to buy championships or BOS for that matter. The best matches are PHI and STL, but that's thanks to Howard and Pujols who can actually field their positions.
"How about 2006, 2008, 2009 for starters?"
Arizona finished dead last last year. Only time I recall him in the hunt mode was when he was in OAK one year. He pitched well since then without being in a winning team.
Have you watched him pitch this year. He is not even close to what he used to be. This year he is way off. And its not just a patch of bad starts. Its the whole year. My guess is him pitching crazy amounts of innings all those years took his toll. I was glad to see that he didn't go to Yankees. He would have been another money down the darin like AJ.
"I really dislike the 'AL is harder to hit in than the NL' argument because the only reason that AL teams seemed jacked is because they can afford to DH"
But isn't that the point. Having DHs do make it harder to pitch in AL. What is the purpose of having pithcers hit? They don't train to hit anyway.
"It's therefore pointless for me to relate an NL team to the NYY who have near unlimited finds to buy championships or BOS for that matter.'
But aren't those teams the reason everyone is shopping for the big pitcher? Beating up on Baltimore or Seattle is not the objective. The reason LAA got Haren is to not only win enough games to get the wild card spot but to beat TX, NYY or BOS in the playoff games.
Maybe LAA being a big market team, they have money to flush down the drain like the NYY but they don't have a chance in hell this year even if they had the old Haren. So IMO, they're just wasting money down the drain. Any slight hope they had this year went down with Kendry.
Everyone here should have stocked up on Orlando Hudson picks for the next 10 days.
There could not have been more warning that he was about to go on the disabled list soon.
I might not use them yet, but at least now, I have the option to not pick through August 3rd, except July 29th when the Twins are off.
So again I change my pick last minute and I'm about to reset again. I had Spillborghs and changed to Tex. Grrr, what was I thinking?! Well I did watch Zimmerman get a hit in his last at bat (bottom of the 9th, 2 out, 1-2 count) a few nights ago and so my streak continued. Hopefully Westbrook will come out and Tex will get a hit against the bullpen.
"The difference is that he's going from a non-contendor back to being in the race and having a chance to win. Haren wasn't going to get that in Arizona and if he's going to be an ace,"
If he cannot pitch well unless he is in contention, then he is not an ace.
"However, if he does make it to 43 or better, what then? Would kinda mess up anyone thinking his streak was the one to beat for the 10k consolation prize. If he does make it that far, hopefully MLB will pull his entry so it does not cause any confusion. "
Would the inclusion of his entry affect your picking at all?
Another 1st AB hit for the leader. Taking all the excitement out of this game, isn't he?
@champion_88 "Would the inclusion of his entry affect your picking at all?"
Could, depending on how high he gets. Let's use your logic of picking DL players as buffers. Ok? So here's the theoretical scenario (assume no rainouts, DNP, etc)
1) 10K leader (mlb employee) has 48 & next in line is 44
2) 9 gamedays left and I have 40-gamer
3) I need 9 to beat 48 but only 5 to beat 44
4) If aiming at 49 I need to pick every day
5) But to beat 44, could use 4 DL picks & wait for 5 favorable matchups
So yes, it can matter in this scenario. And theoretically, a potential lawsuit?
This is one BTS week I can't forget soon enough. Past 8 days hit totals: 0 1 0 1 0 2 0 0. 'Nuf already, Polanco tomorrow to start me out fresh?
TB and Garza finally on the winning side of a no-no or perfect game. The year of the pitcher reared it's head today. 9 total hits in NYY v. Tribe game. Twins would be the exception today. Should call the slaughter rule in KC.
How could you figure Grienke to get rocked like that. The road to 57 is a mine field to say the least.
Time to look under the radar – Took Cano but Colvin and Castro of Cubs both got hits.
@btsplayer, My bad. I meant 2007 and said 2009. Too many years to keep track of.
@champion_88 When you're not in contention, you don't wake up each day feeling the motivation to win nearly as much as when you see the post-season on the horizon. You want to win, but where is that spark? I do admit, that I haven't had the chance to watch Haren pitch personally this year, but when you pitch for a bad team that is stocking up for the future, chances are that the defense behind you is not going to be stellar. Perhaps Arizona does have good defense, and if they do please let me know because like I have mentioned, I haven't had the chance to watch them in person and numbers will only tell you so much. But if my hunch is correct and it's less than stellar, then balls land fair that shouldn't and give teams extra outs to score. The best thing that happened for the White Sox was for Mark Teahen to go on the DL and for Omar Vizquel to start in his place at third base because once that happened, outs were made the the rotation suddenly turned it around. I like to think this can happen for Haren. If I'm wrong I'm wrong. Baseball is unpredictable, no? 🙂 That's why I love it.
@chisox07: Good luck with your Sox. I like your team and Ozzie. He is a character but a very good manager. Him and Francona I think are the best managers out there. Both of them gets lot more out of the team as a whole than parts put together.
Garza has a no-hitter through 8 IP!
Cano: 0 for 3, 1 intentional walk
Man. If the current group of leaders go, the only race left will for the consolation prize. A-Roid and Cano will decimate the board. Both of them really didn't hit me a grand pick. A-Roid was plunked pretty hard yesterday & the pitchers will be conscious of not being a footnote to his 600. Cano is just not just that hot this month.
I learned my lesson from picking name-brand players (Ichie & Mauer). Don't pick them because of who they're. Pick them because what they're doing with bat right NOW.
My earlier joking prediction is about to come to fruition. Ichiro manages a hit but the top picks are about to croak. This is why this game is impossible to win. Going 57 games w/ avoiding a day like today is so hard.
I picked VW today but I don't know if I could have picked him if my streak was lot higher. Its lot harder when you're up in 20s to make rational picks. I probably caved picked one of the dead picks.
I just went 0 fer for the 2nd straight day (had A-Rod today) which seems to happen once a month. To reach 57 it would take NO 0 fers in almost 2 months! That is a HUGE mountain to climb!
Not at home but just looked at boxscores on the iPhone. Holy f'n 0-fers batman. Year of the pitcher wreaks havoc once again.
OK, I'm taking a totally different approach. Let's see how this one plays out. Should be interesting. At least let's get a streak going and then I'll see if I wanna change it up.
Ironically, no top streakers on the first page picked a Tiger. You'd just think one person. Hah. Either way, no Cano, A-Rod, Jeter, Miggy…. Barring extra innings for Cincinnati (Tied 2-2 in the bottom of the 8th) this'll also include Votto and Phillips and make this a VERY brutal day.
Whoops, didn't check the Reds game boxscore quick enough to see that Milwaukee just scored to lead the Reds 3-2. Doesn't look any better for them now….. On a good note, Jeff Keppinger delivered a hit for me just a moment ago and my streak is up to 9. I'll laugh if Jeff's streak of one hit in the first game, one hit in the second game, and two hits in the third game continues this series as the past three against the Cubs. That's quite a pattern.
At least kudos to the leader for picking Mauer. Did he not only survive but did it gangbuster style. Treat yourself to some M&Ms.
****** shiiiiiiit. Why can't the Reds hit any pitching it's like they forgot they have a bat instead of a toothpick. My streak back to 0 as Votto goes 0fer. Congrats to all Mauer pickers 5-5 with a HR.
I wonder if his reason for picking Mauer was beause of the rest. I've noticed there is a pattern of Mauer coming back strong after a day of rest.
"****** shiiiiiiit. Why can't the Reds hit any pitching it's like they forgot they have a bat instead of a toothpick. My streak back to 0 as Votto goes 0fer."
Votto is not hitting lefties at all this month. Plus, never bet against Wolf. He looks tempting because he blows game here & there but he is like Garza, then they also throw jems.
@champion_88. My reply to your question shows how a strategy can be affected if a player doesn't know the "leader" is a mlb employee. Here's the link to that reply above:
@chisox: mlb.com under indiv. players. splits & pull down menu for splits.
@btsplayer Where do you go to find your splits during specific months?
if it helps I use yahoo.http://www.sports.yahoo.com/mlb
lots of good splits & stats and also situational splits. Doesn't have the double splits like MLB.com though.
@00liber Much appreciated. I just think that finding a split like hitting righties and lefties over the last few weeks is a pretty cool tool if you can find it without having to look very hard. I don't want to obsess over this game, but it could help narrow down tight choices. Or it can do the opposite and make me over think every time I pick. Hah. Can you tell we only have two weeks to pick?
Josh Tomlin:
Through 20 appearances (17 starts) with Triple-A Columbus this season, Tomlin is 8-4 with a 2.68 ERA, 80 strikeouts and 33 walks in 107 1/3 innings.
Good but may not be enough to stop Yankee bats? Its a gamble.

Naming the Enemy: Anti-corporate Movements Confront Globalization
Pluto Press, 2000 - 268 Seiten
A new movement of 'anti-globalists', in Time Magazine's words (24 April 2000), now 'oppose corporate dominion over the planet's poor and disfranchised'. Naming the Enemy is the first systematic documentation of this international resistance to transnational corporations and globalization which has so recently burst into the public gaze with the street protests in Seattle, Washington, London and Prague.A wide and heterogeneous range of social movements now oppose the very fundamentals of market capitalism. Their challenge is beginning, Amory Starr shows, to amount to a sweeping critique of its purposes and practice. She explains how these movements understand their enemies and what sort of future they envision. There are, she suggests, three basic types:Movements trying to constrain corporate power through democratic institutions and direct action;Movements attempting a completely different kind of 'globalization from below' in which corporations will be reshaped in the service of new international democratic structures that will be populist, participatory and just;Movements seeking to delink their localities and communities from the global economy and rebuild instead small-scale socieites in which large corporations have no role at all.This new phenomenon has received scant media or scholarly attention. But it is likely to become much more important politically as the globalized economy dominated by giant corporations and institutions like the World Bank and IMF fails to deliver on jobs, social justice, Third World development and the environment. The course of this new kind of political struggle will have huge implications for human welfare and civil liberties.This unique and important book is relevant to activists as well as students and scholars of globalization, new social movements and political economy.

I have a question.. who can explain me the difference between Phraseological Unit and Idiom.. is it the same or not.. may be, you have some theory on it.. or what different linguist say about it..
Beause I think, I have mixed everything
Phraseology (n.):
" The way in which words and phrases are used in speech or writing; style."
From Wikpedia:
"In linguistics, phraseology describes the context in which a word is used. This often includes typical usages/sequences, such as idioms, phrasal verbs, and multi-word units. Phraseological units are (according to Prof. Kunin A.V.) stable word-groups with partially or fully transferred meanings (e.g., "to kick the bucket")."
I don't have any more time just now, but I'm sure one of our experts in linguistics can lend you a hand.

Why are members of Congress making a federal case out of cutting government spending? You just get out your paring knife and whittle a little or a lot, as the case may be, out of things like the Amtrak subsidy, defense contracts, NASA, and education grants. Right?
Not so fast. Even if Congress takes a machete to those kinds of government expenditures – called discretionary spending – it will barely make a dent in the budget deficit. That's because a growing share of the US budget is dedicated to entitlement programs for retirees and the indigent and to paying interest on the national debt – none of which is part of Congress's annual budget cycle or easy to reduce.
Fifty years ago, Congress had greater control. More than two-thirds of federal spending fell into that discretionary category. Next fiscal year, discretionary spending is expected to account for just over one-third of the budget pie. Rule out cuts in defense spending (which many lawmakers want to do), and the share of the budget over which Congress has discretion falls to 12 percent.
Deficit commission: Four things both sides may agree on
That's why focusing cuts on high-speed rail or public broadcasting won't do much to contain soaring federal deficits and an unsustainable national debt, analysts say.
"Domestic discretionary spending is a very small area of the budget," says Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a bipartisan group dedicated to educating the public about fiscal policy. "You're not going to fix this massive problem by focusing on this tiny slice of the budget pie."
The giants of the budget, Medicare and Social Security, "are on autopilot," and their outlays are rising at a faster clip than the economy, she adds. "If you don't fix the problem area of the budget, then the problems are going to stay. That's the problem."
Such pronouncements have long been a staple of blue-ribbon fiscal panels, most recently President Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. But with the first of the baby boomers eligible to retire this year, the matter is taking on greater urgency. If current policy does not change, rising retiree health costs and claims on Social Security will propel mandatory spending to levels never seen before, squeezing out room for future discretionary spending.
Here's the glide path the US is on:
•By 2025, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and interest on the federal debt would claim all federal revenues.
•Interest on the national debt would rise to nearly $1 trillion nine years from now, up from $200 billion today.
•US debt held by the public would grow to 185 percent of the national economy by 2035, driving up interest rates and lowering growth and living standards.
With a presidential election cycle already ramping up, neither the White House nor congressional leaders are eager to be the first to touch popular entitlement programs, known as the "third rail" of American politics. In the past, even suggesting the need for cuts has been a death blow to political candidates.
Mr. Obama's $3.7 trillion budget plan for next year proposes a five-year freeze on nonsecurity discretionary spending in a bid to cut $400 billion over 10 years. That would bring discretionary spending to "the lowest share of the economy since Dwight Eisenhower," Obama said Feb. 15 during a press conference.
He would cut or eliminate more than 200 programs, including one that helps low-income Americans pay home-heating costs, block grants for community development, and Pell grants for low-income college students. Most cuts phase in after the 2012 campaign. The plan includes, too, $1.6 trillion in tax hikes and new investments in education, science, and technology "to win the future."
"We've taken a scalpel to the discretionary budget rather than a machete," the president said.
Contrary to the advice of Obama's fiscal commission, his budget map punts entitlement reform to future negotiations as far as two years out.
"This is going to be a process in which … both chambers of Congress ... start trying to whittle their differences down, until we arrive at something that has an actual chance of passage," Obama said. "This is a matter of everybody having a serious conversation about where we want to go and then ultimately getting in that boat at the same time so it doesn't tip over. And I think that can happen."
House Republican leaders call the president's budget plan a failure of leadership and a lost opportunity.
"We need to have an adult conversation on entitlements, and the president needs to lead that discussion," said Speaker John Boehner at a Feb. 17 press briefing. "He was elected to lead, not to sit on the sidelines. And it's also clear that we need to have a conversation with leaders in his own party who continue to deny there's even a problem."
In a pre-dawn vote on Feb. 20, the House voted to cut $61 billion from discretionary spending this fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. Currently, the government is funded only through March 4.
On Tuesday, Senate Democrats proposed extending current spending levels for 30 more days, to April 3. Senate majority leader Harry Reid, citing the fiscal commission, says making federal spending cuts too soon could derail the nation's economic recovery. He is also drawing a line on future cuts to Social Security benefits. Social Security is not a factor in the US budget deficits and ought to be protected from cuts, he says.
"Congressional Republicans and the president are playing a game of budgetary chicken," says Steve Ellis of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a budget watchdog group. "Neither one ... wants to tackle entitlements or tax expenditures before the 2012 election. It may make for good electoral politics, but it's fiscally irresponsible."
Meanwhile, hopes for a breakthrough on deficit reduction rest on a bipartisan group in the Senate, launched by senators who served on the president's debt commission. Picking up conclusions of the commission, the group is addressing entitlement reform, an end to tax breaks, and caps on discretionary spending. But it's premature to say the senators are near agreement. "The group is committed to deficit reduction but nowhere close to a plan," an aide says.
In the 1990s, Congress instituted fiscal self-discipline by capping discretionary spending. Gradually, exceptions to those rules, including financing two wars, have blunted their usefulness. At the same time, entitlements have come to account for a larger share of US spending. The new wild card is how soon interest-rate hikes, expected as the economy recovers, will balloon payments on the national debt. It's the one element in the spending mix that Congress cannot legislate away.

I am a Digital Media graduate student at Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA. Today I am working with 17th and 18th century archaeological artifacts excavated in 2001-2003 from what are now the grounds of the National Constitution Center in Independence National Historical Park (INHP) in Philadelphia. This archaeological site is the richest colonial American site ever excavated in an urban area. Last week, working with INHP Chief Historian and archaeologist Jed Levin and Drexel Digital Media Prof. Glen Muschio and undergraduate STAR Scholar Ryan Rasing I digitized the artifacts using a 3D scanner and photogrammetry techniques.
I used both techniques to investigate the pros and cons of 3D scanning versus photogrammetry. Specifically, I am documenting, evaluating, and comparing object extraction qualities (accuracy of shape, detail, and texture), equipment and software costs, duration of reconstructions, duration of photographing and scanning sessions, memory consumption, and object size limitations.
Photographs were taken with a Nikon D7000 in raw format. The photographs captured were imported into Agisoft Photoscan, where I worked to align the photographs, generate point cloud information, and produce the 3D models with corresponding textures. You can view, rotate, and pan the 3D model of a ceramic pitcher I am in the process of extracting by clicking the image below.
In addition to photogrammetry, I used the Artec Eva 9 scanner and software to digitize artifacts and align multiple scans, clean mesh topology, construct the 3D models, and extract color information. For a view of a colonoware rim click here.
By the end of my research I will have a greater understanding of the two methods employed. The 3D models produced will be used to create 2 Public Service Announcements (PSA) calling attention to ongoing archaeology projects in Philadelphia and the state of Pennsylvania.

Lawyers Spar in Challenge to Ohio Racetrack Slots
A court has heard competing arguments on whether an anti-gambling group should be allowed to go forward with its challenge to Gov. John Kasich's decision to allow slots-like video lottery terminals at Ohio horse tracks.
The Ohio Roundtable was denied legal standing in May to bring its lawsuit. The complaint alleges Kasich's authorization of racinos is unconstitutional because voters must approve expansions of the lottery.
On Thursday, the Roundtable's lawyer told the 10th District Court of Appeals in Columbus that the group should be allowed to make its case because it represents Ohio residents who will be harmed by expanded gambling.
Assistant Attorney General Aaron Epstein argued the group couldn't say how racetrack slots would harm Ohioans any differently than casinos, which are legal.
The three-judge panel is deliberating.

Dreama Walker made a big impression on audiences this year in ABC's "Don't Trust the B---- In Apt. 23" as the fresh-faced ingénue new to the big city, bedeviled by her hedonistic, morals-free roommate (Krysten Ritter). But just before her big comedic break, the 26-year-old took on a harrowing role in writer-director Craig Zobel's film "Compliance."
Inspired by the disturbing real-life psychological hoaxes that plagued fast food chain restaurants and grocery stores in 2004, "Compliance" depicts a fictionalized but intensely realistic version of the chilling tableau that played out each time: a caller claiming to be a police detective calls the business and tells the supervisor that one of the female employees is suspected of theft and needs to be detained until the authorities arrive, instructing the manager and others present to perform a humiliating strip search that ultimately leads to even darker instruction.
Walker plays the teenage server targeted in the film's increasingly harrowing scenario. It was a demanding role that required her to push herself in ways she never had before.
How did you get your head in the place it needed to be for this dark and taxing material?
Being there everyday in the small confines of this set that was constructed to look like an office and being in an apron and being naked every day and raising those stakes to myself. Allowing myself to really be frightened and to really be afraid for my freedom and life, essentially, was very taxing – every day. Coming home and decompressing and kind of letting all that out was a lot more difficult than it normally is.
You have to go from playing someone who's traumatized by these humiliating, exploitative circumstances and at the same time allow for you, Dreama, to find a comfort zone to be able to be physically vulnerable perform at your own workplace. Was that really weird – exhaling all of that anxiety for yourself, but also hold onto it for her? It had to be a tricky performance.
It was, but I was in it. It really meant a lot to me to go through, basically, the emotional roller coaster that I thought the character would experience, which would start off being defiant and to kind of get to this place where you're a little hesitant and unsure. And then ultimately becoming compliant and then resigning and just kind of having an out-of-body experience, sort of where your body goes into shock and your emotions shut down. Everything shuts down.
Had you been familiar with the real-life story, and did you dig in to the research more once this script came your way?
Yes. In 2004 I was a senior in high school and that's when it kind of came out into the public and this whole thing was released, and I had a lot of discussions about it. And of course my mom had that discussion with me where she was like, 'Remember how I told you to listen to adults? Not always.' It really kind of reworked my framework of how something so innocuous can really go so horribly awry. It's just such a knee jerk, very typical reaction from most people to see the movie and go 'Those people were so stupid – I would never do that.' I think the important thing that I really wanted to get across in this film is that you don't know until you're put into a situation like that how you'll react.
Had you ever had that kind of a fast food or waitressing job?
I worked in the restaurant business for four years, and I also worked in retail in high school. So yeah. I'd had jobs where my entire life and my ability to keep my head above water and feed myself was dependent upon my work. It was very scary when I was fired over and over again.
Those service jobs can be weird microcosms of society, people power-playing over minimum wage positions. What was your experience with that kind of environments?
Absolutely! There were a lot of power trips. I worked in a restaurant. I guess I started working there when I was 18 and I remember the manager at the restaurant was this very sort of…like, he was an ex-actor and he was jealous and kind of mean to me all the time. I never understood why, and then eventually he fired me one day because I asked him to let me out of work early, when no one was there, to go and audition. I remember being so horrified. Anyway – sorry, that's a sob story – but it was really scary because I was trying to explain to him and begging him not to fire me, like, 'I don't know how I'm going to pay my bills. I don't know how I'm going to feed myself. I'm 18 years old. This is my job.' I was absolutely paralyzed with fear.
Do you really understand that confusion about authority figures and wanting to listen to them and be compliant?
Yes. Craig [Zobel, the director] and I also explored the idea of how psychologically when someone you know and have a relationship with, like Sandra, accuses you of something over and over again that you kind of start to believe it yourself. I was really interested in the idea where they may have been a point where Becky second-guessed herself and thought, 'Crap – Did I actually steal this money? Is this something that I did? Have they gone into the deepest, darkest forests of my psyche and do they know that in second grade I broke the teacher's pencil and didn't give it back to her? Does everyone now realize that I'm a bad person?' I think that's a very primal thing, and I think that everyone's worst fear is to be naked and to have everyone telling you that you're a bad person or a thief or a liar, or this or that. All of Becky's fears were realized.
How was the working relationship with your costars in that confined space and in those tense scenes? Did you do a lot of goofing around to relieve the pressure?
A lot. This was one of the most happy, wonderful, spectacular ensembles that I've ever had the pleasure of working with. For whatever reason everyone affiliated with this project happened to be an incredible human being and was just genuine and in it for the right reasons, and we all wanted to make this movie for the right reasons. So this experience, despite the content, was a really important one in my life.
The nudity in this film was handled very carefully. But as an actress, were you already pretty free about that sort of thing, being willing to do that in a roll if it came your way, or did you have to make a leap?
I really had to make a leap. In my opinion I never wanted to do something that was unnecessary, like, when they put a pair of boobs in the movie just to have a pair of boobs. Obviously, in this film I felt like it was essential to the story and essential to the idea and the whole concept. Craig and I had a lot of conversations about we didn't want it to be gratuitous. We didn't want it to be…I was very, very strict about not showing anything but the waist up because I didn't want this to be too sexual. We had a lot of conversations about that.
Hollywood is also a place with its share of psychological games. Have you had to deal with anyone messing with your head in your job as an actress?
Oh, absolutely. There are a lot of stereotypes and all sorts of thing that come into play when you think about it: a young actress in Hollywood and sorts of ways that people bully you or make you think something that has been their strategy all along is your idea. It's definitely dark waters sometimes. You really have to kind of take a step back and try to figure out what people's motivations are.

Middlebury football standout pursues interest in MMA
Andrew Ackerman spends months training for senior thesis
In the fall, Middlebury senior Andrew Ackerman wrapped up his final season with the Panthers football team. This spring, he decided to try his hand at mixed martial arts.
Ackerman's decision was two-fold. First, he genuinely was interested in the competitive nature of the sport and wanted to see if the "barbaric" stereotype held true in his training. He also enrolled in his first fight on Saturday as part of a school project. For his senior thesis, Ackerman is producing a documentary on his training and fighting with the hopes of sharing his story with those curious about the sport.
He is unsure about a future in the sport, but it is certainly never out of the question after the success he had in such a short span of time.

The Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight, promising dazzling fireball displays to lucky skywatchers, but the cosmic rain of space rocks hasn't endangered space station astronauts during their spacewalk repairs this week, a NASA scientist says. In fact, the meteor shower may give the astronauts a show too.
Astronomer Bill Cooke, a meteor expert with NASA's Meteoroid Environments Office, said the Perseid meteor shower adds a small amount of risk to astronauts on spacewalks (about 15 percent), but the chances of being hit by a tiny meteoroid from the shower are slim.
"The risk is still below the risk posed by orbital debris and other factors," Cooke told SPACE.com from the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
IN PICTURES: Perseid meteor shower
Currently, there is a 1-in-300 chance of a piece of orbital debris damaging the space station or hitting a spacewalking astronaut. Compared to that, the slight risk increase from the Perseids is negligible.
A meteoroid about 1 millimeter in size is large enough to damage an astronaut's spacesuit during a spacewalk, Cooke said. But NASA spacewalk planners take the micrometeorite environment into account when scheduling excursions, he added.
There are six astronauts living aboard the International Space Station; three Americans and three Russians.
The crew is in the middle of a challenging set of four spacewalks to repair the space station's cooling system. One of two vital ammonia coolant pumps failed July 31 and station astronauts are tackling the tricky job of replacing the oven-sized part with a spare. They performed spacewalks on Saturday and Wednesday, with the next one set for Monday.
If the space station astronauts are lucky, they may be able to see meteors from above as they soar 220 miles (354 km) above the Earth's night side. In the past, astronauts have been able to record video of meteors from space during shuttle missions.
"You can definitely see meteors, and it's kind of cool," Cooke said.
This sky map shows where to look to see the meteor shower. Skywatchers on Earth can use SPACE.com's planet alignment map to find and identify planets that are appearing together at the same time as the meteor shower.
During the Perseid meteor shower, the Earth is pelted by remains of the Comet Swift-Tuttle as the planet passes close to the comet's orbit. Material left behind by the comet rams into the Earth's atmosphere during the pass at about 37 miles per second (60 km/second), creating an annual show of "shooting stars" every mid-August.
One of the reasons the Perseids don't post a major risk to astronauts on the space station is because, astronomically speaking, astronauts are rather small, Cooke said.
"When you look up in the sky, you see about 10,000 square-kilometers," Cooke said. "An astronaut's surface area is about 1 square-meter, he's not a very big target."
The space station, too, is small compared to the entire night sky, Cooke added. Still, the $100 billion International Space Station is the largest spacecraft every built in space and has a main truss as long as a football field. It can easily outshine Venus on clear nights and be seen by the unaided eye.
Cooke plans to stay up all night tonight to observe the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. The Marshall Space Flight Center is planning to stream live views and from its all-sky cameras in Alabama and Georgia via the Internet, he added.
"It's NASA's first up-all-night," he said.

Ballard hasn't been the player we all hoped for, but there's not way he's any less effective than all three of Rome, Alberts and Sulzer in what should be a big game for the Canucks against a big conference opponent that has already beaten them twice this season.The Vancouver Canucks have won three of four and nine of their last 13 games and are 2-1 on a four-game road trip that ends tonight in St. Louis against the Blues. Vancouver recorded a shootout win in its last game -- a 5-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday.
Mason Raymond scored in the second round of the shootout to help lift the Canucks. Alexander Edler, Jannik Hansen, Manny Malhotra and Ryan Kesler lit the lamp for the Canucks, while Cory Schneider made 27 saves for the victors.
The victory improved Vancouver to 15-9-1 as the guest this season.
Vancouver defenseman Sami Salo missed the last game with a concussion suffered Saturday on an illegal hit by Boston's Brad Marchand, who was given a five- game suspension for the low check. Salo is out indefinitely.
The Blues, meanwhile, will take aim at their longest winning streak in over a year when they host the Western Conference-leading Canucks tonight.
The Blues have won four straight for the third time this season and tonight they'll try for the first five-game winning streak since Dec. 21-31, 2010. St. Louis enters tonight tied with Chicago for first place in the Central Division and the clubs are just two points behind Vancouver for the top seed in the West.
St. Louis' current winning streak began with a perfect 3-0 homestand and the Blues kept it going with Tuesday's victory in Montreal. Tonight's test kicks off a five-game homestand, as the Blues try to improve upon their stellar 17-3-2 record in the Gateway City.
One thing learned from the Blues' victory in Montreal is that Canadiens fans still adore St. Louis goaltender Jaroslav Halak. The crowd at the Bell Centre gave the former Habs backstop a standing ovation following St. Louis' 3-0 victory over the Canadiens.
Playing at the Bell Centre for the first time since being traded to the Blues, Halak needed to make only 19 saves to post his second shutout of the season. The reason for the warm reception goes back to Halak's heroics in leading the eighth-seeded Canadiens to the Eastern Conference finals in 2010.
Halak outperformed Carey Price, the fifth overall pick in the 2005 draft, but Montreal decided to part ways with the pending restricted free agent, shipping him to St. Louis for Lars Eller and Ian Schultz shortly after the season.
"It's good to see I have so many fans in Montreal, and I appreciate what they did for me in this special game. Right now it's a great feeling," Halak said.
David Backes and Chris Stewart set up each other's goals, while Jason Arnott also tallied in St. Louis' second shutout in a row. Brian Elliott, who has overtaken Halak as the No. 1 goalie for the Blues, needed to make just 15 saves to blank visiting Colorado on Saturday.
Elliott is expected to get the start over Halak tonight.
Blues defenseman Barret Jackman left Tuesday's game with a hip injury and is questionable for this evening's tilt.
The Blues have won both meetings against the Canucks this year, winning a game at home and on the road. St. Louis has taken three of four and four of the last six encounters overall, and Vancouver has lost two straight and four of six in Missouri.
How GMMG keeps Ballard at this point is beyond me. He hasn't been a perfect player but he doesn't deserve to be a healthy scratch over three depth defensemen.
Roberto Luongo is expected to start and David Booth still isn't ready to go.

As far as revolutions go, the opening salvo was muffled. But for those within earshot, the reverberations were far- reaching. Last month, China - the largest single potential market for almost anything - selected an upstart computer-operating system called Linux for installation on 1 million computers next year. Ultimately, the country plans to install similar systems on 100 million to 200 million machines.
But the deal represents much more than a software deal - or China's declaration of independence from software giant Microsoft. Analysts say it marks a significant victory for an emerging way of building things. Open and highly dispersed networks of motivated people are organizing around galvanizing ideas, often offering results of their work for free.
Such collaborative networks have long been part of human experience, from scientific research to terrorism. But as the approach moves into the commercial realm, especially the software business, it's challenging fundamental notions about who owns ideas and how best to foster innovation.
"Whether it's the rise of a global civil society, economic globalization, or the war against terrorism, all of these things are extremely information-dependent," says John Arquilla, professor of defense analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif. "The software issue offers us a whole new way of looking at the world."
Known as "open source" in the software world, the concept is spreading to other arenas. At the end of September, for instance, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass., announced that it had reached its initial goal of posting course materials for 500 of its classes on the Web. Eventually, the school plans to post online material for virtually all its 2,100 formal courses. The material can be used freely by anyone and altered to meet local needs, as long as MIT is credited as the source for the material and no one charges for it.
Its name, "Open Courseware," is a direct nod to open-source software as its model. "The emergence of Linux was like a global barn-raising," bringing free, high-quality software to countries and institutions that otherwise might get left behind in the global information economy, says Steven Lerman, director of MIT's Center for Educational Computing Initiatives. "If we're successful, we'd like to see the same effect" in higher education.
Similar networks have been built around the human genome project and its descendants; the offering by artists of free online music; and a new research-journal project called the Public Library of Science. Even Al Qaeda has incorporated the approach to build its loosely knit network of terrorist cells.
Its most visible manifestation, however, remains software. Although the open-source approach had been around for decades, it took off in 1991, when Helsinki University student Linus Torvalds took a freely available, stripped-down version of UNIX software and modified it for a PC.
He posted the code; others began to use it, found and fixed bugs, added features, and "Linux" began to spread. Today, Linux has moved into a distant-but-solid second place behind Microsoft for software that runs network computers called "servers" in corporations, banks, and government offices worldwide. During the third quarter of 2003, the number of servers shipping with Microsoft's software grew by some 21 percent over the third quarter of '02. The number of servers shipped with Linux grew 51 percent, according to IDC, an analysis firm in Framingham, Mass.
An increasing number of countries, particularly in the developing world, are turning to Linux and open-source software. China's deal may help accelerate that, analysts say. In addition, China, Japan, and South Korea are reported to be joining forces on a new open-source software project that would focus on everything from new applications to a new operating system.
Even in the US, federal, state, and local governments are opening their IT departments to give open-source a closer look. In Washington, the Pentagon this year issued guidelines for the use of free and open-source software after a Mitre Corp. study revealed how broadly the programs were used in the Defense Department. Even some of open-source's most ardent supporters agree that the computer solutions it offers in some cases may not be as highly developed as those offered by proprietary programs. Thus users should be free to select the programs that best meet their needs.
Particularly in the developing world, Linux and other free and open-source software have economic and political attractions, says Dan Kusnetzky, vice president for systems software research at IDC.
Politically, a shift to open-source can be a digital declaration of independence in an era when the United States and its software industry are not universally trusted.
"There have been rumors for years that US intelligence agencies have persuaded all North American suppliers to put 'back doors' into software" to allow government cyberspies to keep tabs on sensitive information abroad, Mr. Kusnetzky says. "Vendors claim it's not true, but those reassurances do not stop the professional pessimists" who head foreign intelligence services. Even if a US software company offers to show its program's proprietary code to foreign officials, as Microsoft has to China, he adds, it's still hard to know if the code you saw is actually the code a company ships.
On the economic side, the software is essentially free. Installing a proprietary operating system - never mind the rest of the software it would need - on 10,000 computers could set a company or government back $15 million or more. With open-source, such as Linux, it may cost as little as the price of a download or the nominal cost of a distributor's "package," perhaps around $300.
Ironically, this on-the-cheap approach could substantially reduce software piracy in developing countries, some analysts say, because users can now get high- quality software free for the downloading.
Over the long term, he continues, countries recognize that their economic progress depends on their mastery of information technologies. Open-source software, with its global, free-wheeling, "stone soup" development approach, allows these countries to potentially shave 10 to 15 years off the time it would take them to nurture their own IT sectors at home. The reason: They have a world of expertise freely available.
Surveys indicate that the majority of programmers contributing to open-source software are professionals who donate their expertise to enhance their reputations in the community, to have the satisfaction of producing a set of code that fits immediately into an application, and to clean up others' code in a peer-review system that can be ruthless in its appraisals.
And the community is responsive. Kusnetzky cites an example in which a firm was developing a sophisticated software program. Its brightest developers found a problem they couldn't solve. The code was posted on the Web with pleas for help, and in an hour, an elegant solution came back. "The company didn't know the person, didn't know where he lived," he says.
Yet if the currency for development is information and ideas in the 21st century, where is the balancing point between the rapid innovation and responsiveness that collaborative projects can trigger and the longstanding legal structure designed to protect intellectual property rights?
That is a key question that must be addressed, says James Lewis of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. This year, Mr. Lewis joined nearly 60 economists, lawyers, and technology experts in asking the 180-nation World Intellectual Property Organization to hold a meeting next year to examine whether that balance exists. Although the idea received a warm reception in Geneva, the US Patent and Trademark Office and lobbyists knocked on the WIPO's door. The meeting was canceled.
Yet the issues aren't going away. "The fear is that tight intellectual property protections will stifle innovation. That's clearly not 100 percent true," Lewis says. "But we need to find out where the friction occurs" and if need be make adjustments.
Yet the very nature of the information age and networking could render much of the question obsolete. In an era of networks, it will become almost impossible to distinguish the parenthood of particular ideas, Mr. Arquilla says.
"You're seeing the first whispers of a gale on the horizon," adds Paul Saffo of the Institute for the Future.
Linux software runs centralized computers known as servers. Analysts project that global shipments for the operating system will more than double by 2005, pushing it to the No. 2 spot behind Windows in the server market. Here are the number of server units sold or expected to sell, by operating system:
Operating system 2002 2005
Windows 3.169 million 3.992 million
Linux 425,000 1.018 million
Other 532,000 349,000
Total: 4.610 million 5.746 million

Lucas continues to be a man of many gloves
PITTSBURGH -- The many gloves of Ed Lucas have come in handy for the Marlins.
The 31-year-old rookie, who possesses an Ivy League degree from Dartmouth, has played himself into being one of the club's most versatile performers.
Steady anywhere he is placed on the field, Lucas has already played five positions. He's mostly been used at second and third base, but he's also seen time at shortstop, first base and left field.
In case of an emergency, he is listed as Miami's third-string catcher.
"I really can't take him out of the game," manager Mike Redmond said.
In cases of double-switches, Lucas has found himself shifting from either third base to second or first, or from second base to third. He's typically the player who remains in the game in those situations.
Third base is where he has been used most often, appearing in 37 games, with 35 starts. He's also play second base 13 times, with three starts. First base was a new position for him, but he's played there in nine games, with seven starts.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s legal malpractice case against prominent Sarasota real estate attorney Robert Messick and his law firm went to the jury for deliberations late Tuesday morning.
Attorneys representing the FDIC, Messick and the law firm Icard Merrill each spent nearly an hour presenting their closing arguments, capping seven days of testimony.
Messick's defense team reiterated that the FDIC was wrong in its depiction of a $5.3 million loan issued by First Priority Bank to a developer whom Messick represented.
The agency claimed the bank failed to properly evaluate a planned housing community securing the loan and that Messick failed to inform the bank that 25 acres of additional collateral did not exist.
The agency asked the jury to punish Messick and the firm for their roles in the loan, which went into default 18 months after it was made. The FDIC is seeking $4.6 million in damages from Messick and Icard Merrill.
"You need to send a message," FDIC attorney Al Perez told the jury. "We can't have people who practice law in our community acting this way."
Acting as receiver for First Priority, which became one of the first Florida lenders to fail during the Great Recession, the FDIC has based its case against Messick almost entirely on official banking documents recovered after the Bradenton lender collapsed.
The agency filed suit against Messick and Icard Merrill, among the most respected law firms in Southwest Florida, alleging malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty.
Messick, who provided legal counsel to the bank in the $5.3 million loan, also represented the borrower and a secondary lender who stood to benefit if the First Priority loan went through.
The FDIC contends that representing three parties to the deal meant Messick had a conflict of interest, preventing him from giving First Priority proper legal direction.
"He had the most intimate knowledge of anybody involved in the deal on what was going on," Perez said. "Yet he didn't follow directions for the bank, and that's because Mr. Messick represented everyone on the planet."
But Dennis Waggoner, a Tampa attorney representing Messick and Icard Merrill, argued that several witnesses involved with the loan contradicted the FDIC's allegations.
Waggoner reminded the jury that bank executives and Messick testified that the bank released Messick from any conflict of interest concerns when the attorney informed them of his multiple roles in the proposed River Meadows deal.
Each also testified that whether the deal included an option on an additional 25-acre parcel had no bearing on their decision to issue the loan to developer and Messick client Mark Brivik.
Waggoner noted that the FDIC, which has the burden of proof in the case, failed to present a single witness during the trail who countered the testimony by bank officials and Messick.
He reiterated a position he took in his opening statements that the FDIC's analysis of the documents in the case was greatly flawed.
"Every one of the people brought in who worked at the bank at the time the loan was made told you the FDIC's claim is wrong," Waggoner said. "This lawsuit should have never been filed.
"Not one human being with personal knowledge could walk into this courtroom and say the bank would not make the loan without the 25 acres," he added.
"That's the heart of the FDIC's claim, and they failed to prove it."
The jury, which began its discussions shortly before noon, is expected to continue deliberating today .

Ok, I am having some trouble creating a file to drop which would allow the Ottoman's allies to enter the regions of the Ottoman's vassals. It would need to change the prohibition into a traverse permission - kind of like a diplomatic agreement of 'Give Passage Rights.'
Any thoughts or suggestions? I can see the relevant game files, but have not been able to model the correct file.

Companies Say Goodbye to the 'Burbs
Young Talent Wants to Live in Chicago, Not Libertyville; Dilemma for Older Workers
When Motorola Mobility lined up a Silicon Valley candidate a few months ago for a VP-level role, the phone maker was hopeful he'd accept. After all, the company offered the chance to develop products at a subsidiary of Google Inc.
The engineer declined. His reason: the prospect of relocating to Libertyville, Ill., about 35 miles from downtown Chicago, said Scott Sullivan, Motorola's head of human resources.

Riding on the coat tails of her huge Potter success, Rowling (by the way, her name rhymes with "bowling" not "howling") had no need for much promotion of her new book for adults.
Being a Potter fan myself, I had to join the pre-order hordes and read the book as soon as it came out in late September. I travelled through two London airports shortly after the book's release and it was amusing to see huge displays in the bookstores and many travellers with their noses in a fresh new copy!
The story is set in the pretty little town of Pagford, UK. All of the typical elements of small town UK are present in the book – very recognizable and enjoyable for me since I currently reside in a pretty small UK town exactly like Pagford. But underneath the charm and cobblestones, there lurks some pretty ugly stuff. A town council member suddenly dies and creates a 'casual vacancy' on the town council. Of course there are issues all around the filling of the vacancy and the town politics wreak havoc on the inhabitants. Everyone in Pagford seems to be at war with someone else – loveless relationships, problems within families and marriages, social tensions between rich and poor, friction between middle class and low income areas, cultural clashes, and so on. The best character in the book for me is Krystal, who bears the brunt of her position in life and in this town as a casualty of generations of horrible abuse and drug use. Her attempts to care for herself and her younger brother are heartbreaking and the harsh judgement and snobbish treatment of her by the villagers is appalling. One reviewer said "the book satirises the ignorance of elites who assume to know what's best for everyone else."
Rowling is a good writer, and her strength is in creating a lighthearted enjoyable story, but at the same time being realistic about the darkness that is ever present in this world. She brings hope by also serving up characters who are brave and bold enough to stick up for what is right and good. That is what she did with the magical Potter story and also with this darkly comic small town tale.

Food for Change: 5 Food Groups Doing Great Work
Profiles on causes and organizations that are addressing issues of poverty, poor health, and food access.
Editor's note: In "Food for Change," we'll profile groups out there connecting people to better food access. In this series we want to applaud the passionate people and organizations doing meaningful work with food in their communities. Please share tips for others to include in this column in the comments below.
- The Walking Fish cooperative in North Carolina runs a "community-supported fishery" based off of the more traditional community-supported agriculture model. Members pay in full for a season of weekly fish shares. A share might include anything from shrimp to tuna. The organization promotes environmental stewardship by partnering with sustainable fisheries, helps boost the local economy of North Carolina, and promotes a positive relationship between the state's urban and rural communities. The group has pick-ups in Raleigh and Durham.
- The Edible Schoolyard network works to create garden and cooking curricula that can be incorporated into classrooms for students in kindergarten through high school. Founded in Berkeley by Alice Waters in 2005, the program now has six operating program sites across the country. Waters believes that kitchens and gardens should be educational spaces for students, and that all students are entitled to a healthy, free, organic lunch. Their online resources are available to anyone who wants to start a food curriculum in their local school.
- Sea2Table is a Brooklyn-based organization that works to connect fisherman from across the country to chefs who are seeking out sustainably-caught fresh fish. The Sea2Table founders noticed that fisherman often docked without an obvious market for their product, and chefs were similarly unaware of the fish supply in their region. Sea2Table is a middleman distributor of sustainably-caught fish that moves fish from both coasts to chefs across the country.
- In Jackson, Wyoming, Vertical Harvest hopes to take a novel approach to helping the disabled community through food production. In its proposed vertical greenhouse, Vertical Harvest would produce for the Jackson community year-round. The organization would employ individuals with disabilities to manage the planting and growth of these crops. This would equip disabled community members with valuable skills, as well as provide food for locals. VH is nearly ready to begin construction, and is looking for donors to support their construction efforts.
- School Food FOCUS (Food Options for Children in Urban Schools) works on creating comprehensive plans for schools to improve the quality of food on offer to students. The group helps schools leverage their purchasing power to bring more local, sustainable, nutritious foods to their students. They also work on research projects and create policy recommendations. The group is funded in part by the Kellogg Foundation.
About the Author: A student in Providence, Rhode Island, Leah Douglas loves learning about, talking about, reading about, and consuming food. Her work has also been featured in Rhode Island Monthly Magazine.

Strong property price rise is predicted starting from 2015.
Sydney and Melbourne's housing markets are at least two years away from shifting out of the current trough, but once the momentum starts, the rise will be strong, according to the 28th annual Australian Property Directions Survey.
Using the property clock system, whereby 12 noon to 6pm is a downswing, the data shows that the Sydney residential property market has shown little movement over the seven years that this data has been collected and is not seen as making significant progress over the next two years.
Respondents to the API Property Directions survey are property experts – valuers, funds managers, property analysts and property financiers – and are drawn from a range of about 30 organisations with national representation.
The survey, which was released on 17/04/2012, covers residential, commercial, retail and industrial property in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
According to the data, commercial property is still sought-after, while industrial property is sitting at about 7 o'clock or in the first stages of an upswing, thanks to the demand for warehouses from the e-commerce sector.
The API's NSW vice-president, Tyrone Hodge, said the survey showed that the housing markets in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne were seen as being stuck at or near the bottom of the property cycle with only small advances along the cycle predicted over the next two years.
''In 2013, residential property is seen as having commenced the upswing in Sydney and Brisbane, but Melbourne is seen as remaining at the bottom of the cycle,'' Mr Hodge said. ''Affordibility remains the key issue in Sydney and until that improves, the sector is forecast to bump along the bottom.''

1. Sporting Kansas City — 17 pts. | 3-0 win at Montreal Impact; Week 11: vs. Philadelphia Union, at Chicago Fire
Sporting Kansas City maintained first place with a 3-0 win on the road, and they now have a chance to further pad their lead with a double-match week against two of the Conference's bottom three teams. Dom Dwyer and Benny Feilhaber are showing that they're more than ready to carry the attacking load when Graham Zusi leaves for the FIFA World Cup camp as well.
2. New England Revolution — 17 pts. | 5-0 win vs. Seattle Sounders FC; Week 11: at Philadelphia Union
If there was any doubt that New England's recent surge was for real, a 5-0 victory at home against Seattle should put concerns to rest. Rookie Patrick Mullins has now scored in consecutive matches, and Diego Fagundez recaptured some of his attacking form from last season. This club has always been stout defensively; if they can get their attack going, watch out.
3. D.C. United — 14 pts. | 1-0 win at Philadelphia Union; Week 11: vs. Montreal Impact
A huge road win in Philadelphia granted D.C. United a jolt in the standinghe news that striker Eddie Johnson won't be going to the FIFA World Cup only serves to benefit the club, especially if he plays with a chip on his shoulder.
4. Houston Dynamo — 14 pts. | 1-0 win vs. Columbus Crew, 5-2 loss vs. Real Salt Lake; Week 11: vs. LA Galaxy
The Dynamo was stunned at home by Real Salt Lake, fueled by a chip-shot goal from Javier Morales in the match's opening seconds. Will Bruin missed the match through injury, but rookie Mark Sherrod notched two goals in his absence—a positive development for Houston, provided Bruin is fit moving forward. The Dynamo figures to need the additional attacking mettle should Brad Davis go to Brazil.
5. New York Red Bulls — 14 pts. | 5-4 loss vs. Chicago; Week 11: at Toronto FC
Match of the season? Their 5-4 loss at home against Chicago featured two hat tricks by two different players, including Bradley Wright-Phillips, who is now up to eight goals over his last four matches. Still, conceding five goals at home to then-winless Chicago has to be a concern for Mike Petke.
6. Columbus Crew— 12 pts. | 1-0 loss at Houston Dynamo, 1-0 loss vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC; Week 11: at Portland Timbers FC
Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter credited fatigue for the Crew's week of results. After a full week of training and rest, his side faces a test at Providence Park against Portland. Three players called-in for FIFA World Cup preliminary rosters certainly forces some changes to the lineup in the coming weeks.
7. Toronto FC — 9 pts. | Bye; Week 11: vs. New York Red Bulls
Toronto FC had a bye from MLS play but a midweek 2-1 win over Vancouver in the Amway Canadian Championship featured reassuring goals from both Jermain Defoe and Michael Bradley. The latter is off to Jürgen Klinsmann's FIFA World Cup camp, but the news that Defoe is only an alternate for Roy Hodgson's England squad sh0ould benefit the Reds.
8. Chicago Fire — 9 pts. | 5-4 win at New York Red Bulls; Week 11: vs. Sporting Kansas City
It might have been a season-saving result for Chicago, which surely is energized after racking up five goals in Red Bull Arena—three from rookie Harrison Shipp. The Fire has little time to celebrate, however, as they face conference-leading Sporting Kansas City next.
9. Philadelphia Union — 8 pts. | 1-0 loss vs. D.C. United; Week 11: at Sporting Kansas City, vs. New England Revolution
A disappointing result at home to rival D.C. United dropped the Union to ninth place. With just one goal over their last four games, and not having won in nine matches, Philadelphia faces a double-match week against two of the top four defenses in MLS per goals conceded.
10. Montreal Impact — 6 pts. | 3-0 loss vs. Sporting Kansas City; Week 11: at D.C. United
Montreal fell at home to Sporting Kansas City, a result that might have been expected. One result that wasn't expected was a 2-1 loss to FC Edmonton in a first-leg Amway Canadian Championship match. The Impact has a chance at redemption over Edmonton in the second leg on Wednesday, and then they travel to D.C. United for an MLS tilt on Saturday.
