text: I got to wondering how long it would take to build HLFS from the book after noticing the SBU information was missing. It takes quite a fair amount of time especially when you're watching compiler messages scroll down the screen. Anyway, I don't know if anyone's done this specifically for HLFS yet, but here are my time stats for the temporary utility build for both glibc and uClibc (chapter 5). I also threw in some 'du -sh' info, just for overkill. I also took the time to normalise the results to the first build of binutils using the 'real' time value output of the time command. The results are kinda interesing. No tests were run, and the output for the time command is for all commands AFTER patching and configuring. That means, including make, make install, ln -s <blah> <blah>, cp <blah> <blah>, etc. All done on a first gen Centrino (1M cache) laptop clocked at 1.6GHz with two ttys open (lynx up on one of them displaying the respecitve book being worked on) booted off the LFS 6.1-3 live CD. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...

When Mark Dent drove by the remains of fire damaged Mount Vernon United Methodist Church in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore, he knew it was meant to be. Dent, President of Chesapeake Systems, the region's leading provider of Mac based support and service, was looking for new space to accommodate the company's expansion.
"We had wanted to own a building for quite some time and I drove by the building and saw the for sale sign," Dent said.
The church was a City fixture, opening in 1879 serving workers in nearby mills, and remaining home to an active congregation until the church fell victim to lightning and fire damage in 2008. Stained glass windows, once a prominent centerpiece of the churches structure, were blown out, and walls and floors were dismantled, due to fire extinguishing efforts. The damaged church remained there untouched for two years – until Dent came along.
Chesapeake Systems was housed at Hampden's Mill Centre, but needed more space to accommodate its rapidly growing business. The church, up for sale at a nominal price, was a perfect fit for the company. The 9,000 square foot building could house Chesapeake Systems' retail floor, training rooms, office spaces, and technical center. In January of 2010, the company presented its first contract to purchase the property. After months of meetings with the neighboring community, state and city officials, the company finally completed the purchase of the property on November 5, 2010.
With the old office location just a few blocks away, Dent was able to juggle the renovation project while working full-time. The renovations began in March of 2011, and the company officially moved into its new headquarters the weekend of July 4th.
"It was a very hairy time. We had to be out of our old space by June 30 but didn't have our official use and occupancy permit until July 12," Dent said.
But working together with a 20 man crew, the company was able to move in quickly. The damaged church was transformed. The company restored many of the architectural features, including stone walls, chestnut beams, an organ, and stained glass windows. Hickory floors were installed to replace the floors that had been damaged in the fire. Stained glass windows that were blown out were replicated to match its original.
"We were pretty much able to keep a lot of the original structure of the building. Some of the stained glass windows were completely destroyed, but we were able to find a company that duplicated the design of the windows that were destroyed," Dent said.
And, Brecht's daughter, a figurative painter, was commissioned to design the large stained glass window facing the Chestnut Avenue side of the building. The design features the company's logo, while also reflecting the tale of the building's ultimate fate.
Chesapeake Systems was founded in 1990 by George Brecht, current Chairman of the Board, in the basement of his home. In 1995, Brecht got involved with another company that was interested in opening a North American sales and service operation center. At the same time, Mark Dent was hired to fix Brecht's computer, and after some conversation, Dent joined Brecht at Chesapeake Systems. Dent brought along his loyal customers, and Chesapeake Systems began to grow, offering sales and support services for Mac based platforms.
Since then, the company has grown to 23 employees, and offers service, support and training. The company's Professional Services division offers training and work flow support for the video and broadcast, defense and education industries, and their Home and Office division offers support services for professional and corporate clients. Clients include the Baltimore Orioles, Disney affiliates and the BBC.
"The single biggest thing we do now is video work flow solutions for the government and corporate broadcasters and post-production houses," Dent said. "We go in and analyze an existing work flow and we will suggest hardware and software solutions to increase productivity and pricing to help them make their operations more efficient."
With the renovation and a new office space, the company is expanding its retail center and hopes to hire more employees.
"With this new space, we are looking to add more employees for our retail section. We also hope to become an incubator for those folks that are starting at the ground level," Dent said. "This building has a lot of history and ties to the Baltimore community. We hope that our repurposing of this iconic structure will help revitalize the community. We are a small business – we aren't just guys who can fix your computer – we are hoping to become technology partners to our fellow small businesses."

XO Communications Enlisted by Infobahn Outfitters, Inc. to Supply High Speed IP Transit Service in Less than One Week
Response to Urgent Holiday Request Enabled Infobahn Outfitters to Provide Increased IP Capacity within Guaranteed Timeline
HERNDON, VA - Feb. 11, 2009 - XO Communications (OTCBB: XOHO) today announced that it is providing high-speed, low-latency Gigabit Ethernet IP transit service to Infobahn Outfitters, Inc., a full-service Internet provider delivering network access and IP services to eight western Illinois-based telephone companies. XO was selected based upon the company's proven ability to rapidly implement service without sacrificing quality or performance - a critical need identified by Infobahn Outfitters at a challenging time.
�We received word just before the holidays that our current provider couldn't meet our end-of-year timeline for increasing IP capacity, and that's when we turned to XO for help,� said Jeff Calhoun, Infobahn Outfitters CEO. �I was astounded by the turnaround. I knew XO was good, but this was even more amazing considering hectic holiday schedules.�
Following an e-mail request from Infobahn Outfitters on Christmas Eve, XO worked quickly to put together an agreement and sales order by the morning of December 30. The order was immediately dispatched to service provisioning, which installed the high-speed, increased-capacity service by mid-afternoon on December 31.
�XO and its talented, committed employees understand that our customers' needs for Internet and communications access don't end when weekends or holidays begin,� said Don MacNeil, vice president of XO Carrier Services Sales Operations. �Our company prides itself on offering unparalleled, unwavering customer service, and we appreciate any opportunity to demonstrate it � this time by helping a new customer improve and expand upon its network offerings.�
Through XO's agreement with Infobahn Outfitters, customers in urban and rural areas of western Illinois will have access to a higher-quality, cost-efficient Internet experience unencumbered by bandwidth capacity limitations. As the demand for such service grows and efforts to reach rural America strengthen, XO is well-positioned to assist carriers requiring the flexibility and scalability necessary to quickly meet their IP transit needs. The company recently announced a major upgrade of its nationwide IP network that triples its network capacity, setting the stage for XO to provide the next generation of IP services to its customers like Infobahn Outfitters.
Next-Generation IP Network
XO's High Speed IP Transit service provides cable companies, online content providers, enterprises, and domestic and international telecommunications companies with fast, reliable Internet backbone access without the cost of building and managing a Tier 1 network. Along with multiple bandwidth options and robust peering arrangements, XO High Speed IP Transit service provides: Fast Ethernet, Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet Service options; Full port or burstable billing options; Service Level Agreements; and Direct connectivity to high-valued content and access destinations on the Internet.

Alex Rodriguez's public battle with the Yankees took another turn today when the slugger denied a report that the club intends to fine him a day's pay for conduct during his recent rehab assignment. According to ESPNNewYork.com's Andrew Marchand, a hand-delivered letter written by Yankees GM Brian Cashman informed A-Rod that the club plans to punish him for seeking a second opinion on his quadriceps injury and also for failing to appear at Yankee Stadium last month after meeting with MLB officials to discuss the Biogenesis investigation. In an article by Bryan Hoch and Josh Vitale of MLB.com, however, A-Rod denied receiving the letter. "Maybe they sent it to my lawyers," Rodriguez said. "But I'm not really going to talk about that."

- Neither Ian Desmond nor Jordan Zimmermann appear close to contract extensions with the Nationals, Bill Ladson of MLB.com reports. Zimmermann, 27, said his camp and the Nationals broached the subject in the offseason but didn't come close to an agreement. "I'm not going to give a huge team discount," Zimmermann warned. "Just something fair is all I ask."Meanwhile, Desmond recognizes that he has two years of arbitration remaining and doesn't appear to be in a hurry to put together a deal, according to Ladson.
- Everth Cabrera's recent suspension has reinforced the fact that the Padres' farm system is thin on shortstop talent, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune says. "You'd like to have a shortstop at every level that you feel is a prospect – has a chance to be an everyday guy," assistant GM Chad MacDonald said. However, as Sanders notes, the club's best prospects at the position remain in the lower minors. For now, former first-round pick Logan Forsythe figures to get an extended look at short for the Friars.
- Astros top prospect George Springer may finish the season at Triple-A, Brian McTaggart and Chris Abshire of MLB.com say. Springer, 23, is hitting .303/.410/.597 with 38 stolen bases across stops at Double-A and Triple-A this season. However, Astros manager Bo Porter didn't give any indication of when Springer might be called up to the major league club when discussing the outfielder today.
- Will Middlebrooks was called up to man third base for the Red Sox because he has more experience at the hot corner than Xander Bogaerts, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI.com reports. Many speculated that Bogaerts, who's hit .300/.392/.487 in 481 minor league plate appearances this season, would get the call, but manager John Farrell says the team prefers that he continue to take reps at third in the minors. The Sox want Bogaerts to be ready in case Middlebrooks struggles or hits the disabled list, according to McLaughlin.

Prospect Rumor Roundup: Astros First Rounders
If not for the hapless Miami Marlins, the Astros would be in line for the worst record in baseball for the third straight season. Clearly, it's been a rough stretch for the Houston fan base. The good news is that a strong group of reinforcements is on the way to The Show. The fans will have to take a leap of faith while the high-ceiling, minor-league talent rises to the surface.
The last two-plus years of mediocrity in Houston have allowed the organization to receive the first overall draft picks in both 2012 and 2013. An astute group of talent evaluators and baseball minds in the scouting department has helped to ensure the organization not only made the most of its first overall selections, but also made some clever trades for young talent while shedding players that did not figure into the rebuilding vision.
General Manager Jeff Luhnow has worked to ensure the club is pointed in the right direction as it moves to recapture some of the organization's past successes. But, truth be told, the club's front office and scouting department began to find its footing in 2010 — almost two years before Luhnow was hired away from the St. Louis Cardinals to replace ousted GM Ed Wade.
From 2000 to 2009 the Astros' drafting efforts bordered on brutal — especially when focusing on the club's first choice each season. Current Astros catcher Jason Castro (2008) stands out as the lone bright spot in an otherwise dreary decade. It certainly didn't help that the club's free agent exploits cost the scouting department three first round selections (2003, 2004, 2007) and resulted in the selection of forgettable prospects such as Robert Stiehl, Derick Grigsby, and Max Sapp.
As mentioned above, the 2010 season began the major shift for the Astros and the past five first round draft picks are among the 10 best prospects in the system. Let's have a closer look at them:
2010 — Delino DeShields Jr., 2B, Georgia HS: Reds prospect Billy Hamilton received a ton of hype last year for breaking the century mark in steals, but DeShields also swiped more than 100 bags in a much quieter fashion. It's been a slower go for the 20-year-old Astros prospect in 2013 as he's managed just 15 steals in 24 attempts. He's holding his own at the plate with a .280 batting average but has yet to have a true breakout to solidify himself as one of the top prospects in the game.
2010 — Mike Foltynewicz, RHP, Illinois HS: Foltynewicz flew under the radar for a few seasons but the hype is starting to build — and it's easy to see why. The right-hander's velocity has crept up in the past year and he's been clocked as high as 98-100 mph in recent starts. Only 21, he opened the 2013 season in the offense-padding launching pad in Lancaster (High-A) and held his own before a promotion to Double-A in early May. Since that time, hitters have batted just .157 against him, and he has a 1.41 ERA in nine appearances. Brian T. Smith of the Houston Chronicle recently took a look at Foltynewicz and highlighted both his talent and his drive to succeed. "Everybody knows what kind of power and strength he's got… But the encouraging part is since he's been here we're starting to get better down location, OK, and his breaking stuff and changeup (are) really coming along really nice… you won't find much better talent than he's got."
2011 — George Springer, CF, University of Connecticut: It took a couple of years but Springer has officially sprung. The young outfielder is tapping into his raw power on a more consistent basis (18 homers, .618 slugging percentage) while treading water with his contact rates. Springer still strikes out a lot (77 strikeouts in 61 games) but the tradeoff for the power output is worth it. He could be ready to patrol the outfield in Houston before the 2014 All-Star break. In another piece for the Chronicle, Smith featured Springer, and the prospect said he's not trying to put too much pressure on himself: "It's just kind of one of those things where I'm not too concerned about the results. I just try to go out and compete and play hard and develop as a player," Springer said. "It's one of those things where I was told to just let the results happen… For me, it's all about slowing myself down, having a lot of fun…"
2012 — Carlos Correa, SS, Puerto Rico HS: One of the youngest hitters in A-ball at 18, Correa has started to heat up and has become more consistent while flashing the tools that caused him to go first overall in 2012. After hitting .221 in April, the young Puerto Rican's batting average is now up to .292, and he's walked 30 times in 50 games. Correa is still at least two years away from adding stability to the Astros' big league shortstop position but the wait could be well worth it. Brandon Simes of MiLB.com recently spoke to the young infielder and Correa gave his thoughts on what Mark Appel should look to do now that he's been drafted by the Astros. "Just focus on making the organization proud, keep working hard and try to get to the big leagues as fast as possible," Correa said. "I saw him getting called. I'm very excited to have him here with us in the organization. I'm looking forward to meeting him and being able to play together."
2013 — Mark Appel, RHP, Stanford University: Appel is not property of the Astros just yet — and something could still go terribly wrong — but there is a very good chance that the college senior will eventually come to terms with his hometown club. After turning down the Pittsburgh Pirates as the eighth overall selection of the 2012 draft, the right-handed pitcher's gamble paid off as he has become an even better player, will earn a larger signing bonus, and appears ready to develop into one of the top pitching prospects in the game.
As the saying goes, things are always darkest before the dawn, and – if the minor league system is any indication – Houston fans are in for a bright future.

Draft Links: Dodgers, Springer, Boras, Fisher
We're a week away from the August 15 deadline for MLB teams to sign their 2011 draft picks. Here's the latest on a few signings, a few players still in negotiations and a few players who are going to college…
- The Dodgers have agreed to terms with sixth-rounder Scott Barlow and 10th-rounder Tyler Ogle, reports Jim Callis of Baseball America. (Twitter links) Barlow, a right-hander who had committed to Fresno State, will earn a $150K bonus. Ogle, a product of the University of Oklahoma, received a $100K bonus.
- George Springer is expected to sign the Astros, tweets Stephen Goff of the Houston Examiner. Goff said he would be surprised if the Astros didn't ink their first-round pick, selected 11th overall.
- Right-hander Jack Armstrong, Houston's third-round selection, talks to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart about his elbow problems and how he isn't worried about the signing deadline. The piece also notes that Springer passed his physical with the team last week. Springer and Armstrong are the only two unsigned players among the Astros' first 13 draft picks.
- "The Royals will be offering the biggest bonus in franchise history" to Bubba Starling, writes Sam Mellinger of the Kansas City Star, and while "most observers expect a contract to be signed…there is just enough in [agent Scott] Boras' history and confidence to make everyone unsure." Mellinger also briefly details Boras' background and his dealings with the Royals over the last several years.
- Rangers officials tell MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan that they don't expect sixth-round pick Derek Fisher to sign a contract. Fisher, the Pennsylvania high school player of the year, has a commitment to the University of Virginia and "his asking price exceeds what the Rangers are willing to pay."
- The Brewers officially announced the signing of second-rounder Jorge Lopez, reports MLB.com's Audrey Snyder. We heard last week that Milwaukee had agreed to terms with Lopez and fifth-rounder Michael Reed, though no final word has yet come on Reed's deal.
- The Phillies have signed seventh-round pick Kenny Giles to a contract with a $250K bonus, reports Baseball America's Jim Callis (Twitter link). Giles, a high-schooler who had committed to the University of Arizona, "has touched 99 mph with his fastball."
- Marlins second-round pick Adam Conley and Diamondbacks seventh-rounder Ben Roberts will "definitely sign," reports Kendall Rogers of Perfect Game USA, while Yankees sixth-round selection Jake Cave is "about 95 percent" signed. (Twitter links)
- Rogers also tweets that Taylor Ard (a 25th-round pick for the Red Sox) and Derek Jones (the Orioles' 13th-rounder) will not sign. Both players have committed to attend Washington State.
- WEEI.com's Alex Speier has an update on the status of every Red Sox pick from the first 10 rounds of the draft, including both signed and unsigned players.
Quick Hits: Mets, Overbay, Springer, Storen, Stewart
Thanks to our loyal readers, MLBTR generated 3.1 million pageviews over the weekend! We appreciate you making MLBTR a regular stop, and have a lot of cool things planned in the coming months. On to today's links…
- Mets GM Sandy Alderson told ESPN New York's Adam Rubin that he tried to acquire a reliever before the deadline, but to no avail (Twitter link). He would not rule out a trade before August 31st.
- The Red Sox will not have interest in Lyle Overbay, reports Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe (on Twitter). The Pirates designated Overbay for assignment today, and as Cafardo notes, he has great numbers in Fenway Park: .323/.395/.500 in 177 plate appearances.
- Anthony DiComo of MLB.com (via Twitter) doesn't envision Jason Isringhausen re-signing with the Mets this offseason.
- The Astros are very confident that they'll sign first-round pick George Springer, but it may come down to the last week, tweets MLB.com's Alyson Footer. Last week we learned that Springer's father met with the independent league Long Island Ducks.
- ESPN's Jerry Crasnick names a bunch of waiver trade candidates in his latest article.
- The Twins wanted closer Drew Storen and minor league second baseman Stephen Lombardozzi for center fielder Denard Span, and the Nationals declined, according to MLB.com's Bill Ladson. I think that would have been a solid deal for Washington.
- The Indians announced they signed infielder Argenis Reyes to a minor league deal; he'd been playing independent ball. In slightly more important news, Ubaldo Jimenez will debut for the Tribe Friday in Texas.
- The extent of Boston's interest in Ubaldo? Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald says exec Allard Baird put in a call on Thursday and the Red Sox weren't in touch after that.
- Both sides have denounced the $30MM figure that was floated for Dylan Bundy, tweets MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli. Talks are expected to start this week for the Orioles' fourth overall pick. Ghiroli has more on the topic here. Bundy is advised by Jay Franklin at BBI Sports Group; the company also employs his father.
- The Rockies were close to trading third baseman Ian Stewart to an undisclosed National League team yesterday, reports Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post, but the deal fell apart with a half hour to go.
- The Mariners and Red Sox are sharing the costs of Erik Bedard's incentives, reports Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times.
- Newly-acquired players Zack Wheeler and Jonathan Singelton head updated top ten prospects lists for the Mets and Astros, courtesy of Baseball America's Jim Callis.

George Springer Met With Long Island Ducks
1:40pm: Springer's father explained to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart that he and his son met with the Ducks' GM as a contingency in case an agreement can't be reached. Returning to college is not a likely option for Springer.
12:23pm: Astros first-round draft pick George Springer may sign with the independent league Long Island Ducks, tweets @zoodig. This development is a sign that the University of Connecticut outfielder is not close to a deal with the deadline about three weeks away.
The typical bonus for the #11 pick is in the $1.8-2MM range, according to Baseball America.
Springer On Athleticism, Astros, Bonus
George Springer credits his father – a "tremendous athlete" – for passing along the genes that prompted Baseball America to suggest that the Astros' first round selection may be the best college athlete in this year's draft. Springer's mother passed along something other than athletic genes; she introduced her son to gymnastics at a young age.
"It helped me tremendously with body control and body awareness and just being able to understand my own strength," Springer said on a conference call.
The 11th overall selection can do flips standing or on the run, but his biggest asset on the baseball field is speed. Springer plays an aggressive, energetic center field for the UConn Huskies, though he's open to shifting to a different position if that's what the Astros want.
Before Springer joins the Astros' outfield, they have to sign him. The commissioner's office has typically recommended bonuses in the $1.5-2MM range for 11th overall selections, but Springer's college season is still underway, so he says he has a "long way to go" before negotiating a potential bonus with the Astros.
"I really don't know," he said. "I'm still focused on helping [UConn] win."
Draft Notes: Cole, Hultzen, Bradley, Springer
The draft takes place one week from today; here's the latest as teams prepare their draft boards for next Monday…
- ESPN.com's Keith Law projects the Pirates to select UCLA right-hander Gerrit Cole with the first overall pick, though he says they're still seriously in on Virginia left-hander Danny Hultzen and high school outfielder Bubba Starling. It's too early to rule out Rice third baseman Anthony Rendon either.
- The D'Backs could take Hultzen, UCLA right-hander Trevor Bauer or high schooler Dylan Bundy third overall, according to Law.
- It looks like the Orioles will take an arm fourth overall; they have Bundy, high schooler Archie Bradley and Cole in their sights.
- If Bauer falls to the Indians, they'll take him, according to Law.
- The Cubs "sent a small army" to watch outfielder George Springer at the Big East tournament.
- The Padres are interested in UConn right-hander Matt Barnes and Vanderbilt right-hander Sonny Gray.
- The top three players on one team's draft board are advised by agent Scott Boras, according to Yahoo's Jeff Passan.
- Rendon's stock is down a bit because of a dip in production and injury concerns, writes Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic, but Rendon's coach at Rice, Wayne Graham, expects the third baseman to go within the top two picks.
- The Giants shouldn't (and won't) alter their draft strategy in response to Buster Posey's season-ending injury, writes Jim Callis of Baseball America in a mailbag.

Draft Notes: Harvey, Starling, Anderson, Stilson
With the MLB draft coming up on June 6th, let's take a look at some draft-related tidbits..
- Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe tweets that the Red Sox released Ryan Harvey, who was the 2003 1st round pick of the Cubs. The 26-year-old was trying to convert from the outfield to the mound but never found his way out of extended Spring Training with Boston.
- There's been talk of a lack of elite bats in this year's draft, but there appears to be a good amount of depth when it comes to the outfield prospects, writes Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com. Mayo highlights a number of the top outfielders in the draft, including Bubba Starling, George Springer, Mikie Mahtook, and Jackie Bradley.
- More from Mayo who writes that there's a good deal of buzz around Stanford closer Chris Reed, who is seen by some scouts as a starter. Reed, it appears, will be taken somewhere in the sandwich round.
- Meanwhile, Mayo writes that two pitchers, Oregon lefty Tyler Anderson and Texas A&M right-hander John Stilson, may have hurt their stock with recent poor outings.
Draft Notes: Rendon, Cole, Bundy, Gray
The buzz about the MLB draft is intensifying and understandably so – the big day is less than two weeks away. Here's the latest:
- Baseball America presents its top 200 draft prospects. Rice third baseman Anthony Rendon is first on the list and high school right-hander Dylan Bundy leapfrogged UCLA righty Gerrit Cole to take the second spot on BA's list.
- Meanwhile, ESPN.com's Keith Law ranks his top 100 draft-eligible players. Cole (#1), Rendon (#2) and high school outfielder Bubba Starling (#3) top his list and Bundy comes in fourth.
- Two UConn Huskies, Matt Barnes and George Springer, are gaining momentum, according to Jason A. Churchill of ESPN.com. Cole, however, is losing momentum.
- In his latest chat, Jim Callis of Baseball America says he thinks Vanderbilt right-hander Sonny Gray can start or become a dynamic closer.
- Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com previews this year's draft-eligible middle infielders, starting with high schooler Francisco Lindor, an outstanding defender who can hit for average and some power.
- University of Hawaii second baseman Kolten Wong told Mayo that he doesn't mind at all when people doubt him because of his size (he's 5'9"). Wong says he has spoken to fellow Hawaiian Shane Victorino about dealing with the draft.
- White Sox scouting director Doug Laumann told Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune that the White Sox should get some "pretty good players" even though their first pick is the 47th overall selection. Chicago could end up taking a position player this year, according to Laumann.

Draft Notes: Purke, Bradley, Mets
All of a sudden, the 2011 draft is just six weeks away. Here's the latest on some of the available prospects and one team's approach to the big event:
- Led by projected 2011 first rounders Matt Barnes and George Springer, Connecticut baseball is on the rise, Jim Callis writes in the latest edition of Ask BA. Click here for MLBTR's Q&A with Springer.
- TCU left-hander Matt Purke, who has been shut down with shoulder soreness, may have to reestablish his value like Anthony Ranaudo did last summer, according to Callis. Click here for MLBTR's Q&A with Purke.
- As Callis explains, South Carolina outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. may fall to the second half of the first round or the supplementary round. If Bradley falls, it will be because of his spring sruggles and tools, not simply because of his recent wrist injury.
- The Mets are allowing themselves to be greedy with the 13th overall selection this year. Paul DePodesta, the Mets' VP of player development and amateur scouting, told Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com that the Mets don't intend to settle with their top pick. "We want tools, skills, guys who can run and hit for power and defend. We want to be greedy. We want it all. The reality is those guys come off the board awfully quickly."

Consultancy ensuring clients have the right agency, the right incentives, and the right contract in place.
Ebiquity designs and executes the pitch management process to help senior procurement, finance and media & marketing teams to select the right agencies and, importantly, to have the right contract in place. Done well, we can help set the tone for agencies' relations and lay the foundation for high performance. Our FirmDecisions subsidiary then evaluates how the agency is delivering against the contract to provide peace of mind, uncover issues and retrieve any money owed to the client.
Streamlined selection
Our experience in agency pitch management has allowed us to create a unique 12-step process that includes pre-pitch, pitching, support to decision & negotiation, cost and services commitments phases. We tailor this process for each client. Ebiquity has unrivalled understanding of agencies' media services, processes and revenue-generating practices. In addition, we have the largest pools of media pricing data. Together, this data and experience allow us to streamline a difficult and resource-hungry process for clients.
Win-win contracts
In recent years agency fees are declining yet their profits continue to rise. Brands are challenging their agencies more and seeking to protect against leakages and wastage through tighter contract management. Working with clients our teams set upfront KPIs against which to measure performance. Importantly, we also confirm the correct financial data access and rights are in place to enable objective evaluation. We know how agencies operate, and our experience of previous contracts helps us to efficiently shape future ones agreeable to both parties. We enable clients to establish win-win remuneration agreements by setting up and managing PRIP schemes that don't conflict with client objectives. We can subsequently use our latest buying data to benchmark agency promises made during the pitch.
Effective compliance
With our subsidiary, FirmDecisions, we can handle the legal, financial and media aspects of transparency on behalf of brands. Rebates and AVBs are common but few brands receive the full value from their agencies. We help brands know if they are getting what was promised or what is owed, frequently resulting in a return to them of money owed.
In most cases, our detailed reviews of transactions help improve contracts with and confidence in their agency. Our team, made up of ex-agency finance staff, are frequent visitors to agencies. They know what to expect and where to look, even for the biggest and most complex clients. They work with three quarters of the world's biggest advertisers.

Questions we answer for media, marketing, and procurement teams
- Which is the right media agency for our business?
- What should we include and exclude from its contract to ensure transparency and optimal performance?

You know how when you meet someone new or at a party…they ask so what do you do for a living…you tell them about your job, or your family…but your thinking inside, there's gotta be more than that!
What defines you?
It could be your job, the fact that you are a parent, or maybe it's the things you own like a car you love or your home.
The problem is what happens when you loose it. Lose your job, kids grow up and move out, then what?
When you define who you are with what you do for a living, or the objects that you own, it's temporary, your identity is fragile.
I saw where Entertainment News Reporter Guiliana Rancic is undergoing a redefinition of who she is after having breast cancer, and a double mastectomy .
She works in Hollywood where your body defines you, and now part of it is gone. She said that some people told her that this surgery could have put her job in jeopardy. Her response was, "if my job was defined by my body and gorgeous gowns then I'm in the wrong business."
She went on to explain that having gone through this experience she sees religion in a new light She and her husband Bill, had always prayed on their own, but now they praying together.
She has learned that your job, your things, your body are temporary, and if you let them define, your setting yourself up for loss and great disappointment. The only thing permanent, the only thing that defines you, is if you have a relationship with God.
What He says about you matters. When you believe in Jesus, He calls you His child, your sins are forgiven, He doesn't hold your past against you, He doesn't count up all the things you've done wrong.
The bible says, He is enthralled with your beauty, and rejoices over you with singing, not because of what you look like or do for a living, just the way you are.

Poverty Point State Historic Site - Epps, Louisiana
A Cradle of Ancient Civilization...
One of the few archaeological and historic
sites in North America that is both a State
Historic Site and a National Monument, the
massive Poverty Point archaeological site in
Northeast Louisiana was home to one of the
most important prehistoric cultures on the
The prehistoric earthworks at Poverty Point
are the largest in the western hemisphere,
stretching more than 3/4 of a mile across.
Easily accessible from Interstate 20 or U.S.
Highway 65 and only an hour from the
historic city of Vicksburg
, Poverty Point is
between the Louisiana towns of Epps and
Lake Providence
The existence of the large Native American
mounds and earthworks at Poverty Point was
first reported before the Civil War, but it was
not until many years later when someone
thought to look at aerial photographs of the
site that its true significance became known.
After decades of research, archaeologists
now report that Poverty Point is the largest
Native American structure in the western
Construction of the mounds and earthworks
began more than 3,000 years ago on a bluff
overlooking what is now Bayou Macon and
the Mississippi River Delta. At the time the
site was occupied, however, scientists
believe the flat expanse below the bluff may
have been a large shallow lake that provided
food, raw material and a transportation route
to the Mississippi and beyond. Artifacts
unearthed at Poverty Point include quartz and
other crystal from the Ouachita and Ozark
Mountains in Arkansas, copper from the
Great Lakes and shells from the Gulf of
Mexico. Such items indicate that Poverty Point
was the center of a vast trading network
thousands of years before the much better
known Mississippians began to build
earthen mounds across much of what is now
the Southeast and Midwest.
The residents of Poverty Point were hunters
and artisans. More than 8,000 complete
spear points have been recovered from the
site and archaeologists have also
discovered a fascinating array of artistic
The most astounding display of artistry at
Poverty Point, however, is the site itself. The
occupants of the site constructed six
semi-circular rings or ridges of earth around
a central plaza more than 37 acres in extent.
At their widest point, the concentric ridges
enclose an area some 3/4 of a mile across.
Although the height of the earthworks was
greatly reduced by plowing during the 19th
and 20th centuries, they can still be seen.
Archaeologists believe that the inhabitants of
the site constructed their homes atop the
ridges, all facing inward to the central plaza.
In the central plaza itself, excavations
revealed that massive wood posts once
stood at the site. The purpose of these posts
remains open to discussion, but many
believe they formed the center of some type
of ancient calender or observatory along the
lines of England's famed Stonehenge.
Several individual mounds surround the site.
Although some of these predate the main
earthworks, they appear to have been
incorporated into the overall design of the
site. As is the case with many Native
American complexes, there is strong
evidence that the Poverty Point mounds and
earthworks were designed to align with
certain astronomical events. Likely they
served a functional purpose in helping the
residents determine the changes of the
The largest of the Poverty Point earthworks,
Mound A, towers some 72 feet above the rest
of the site. Considering normal erosion
patterns over more 2,000 years, some
experts believe the mound may once have
topped 100 feet in height. From the air, it
takes the shape of a giant bird. Wings and
the feet of the effigy are clearly apparent,
although the head is more difficult to
visualize. It is worth noting, though, that the
placement of the mound at the outermost
point of the concentric rings of earthworks
allows the entire site to take on the shape of
a huge bird. Birds were common in the art of
Poverty Point.
Other mounds at the site include Mounds B
and C, which are known to have been
associated with the Poverty Point earthworks.
Sarah's Mound, also on the site, was a
platform mound from a later era and the
Ballcourt Mound appears to be a mound,
although it may also be a natural hillock.
No one knows for sure what led to the
abandonment of the Poverty Point site.
Perhaps the shallow lake dried up or
perhaps there was some collapse in
religious or societal beliefs. Regardless,
Poverty Point was the center of a massive
civilization, a culture that developed in the
Delta region of Northeast Louisiana
centuries before the laying of the first stones
on the famed Mayan pyramids.
All of the great Native American civilizations
that soon spread across the U.S. Southeast
and Midwest were born here on the banks of
Bayou Macon. None would ever undertake a
public works project of the scope and size as
the one built by the prehistoric hunters and
gatherers of Poverty Point.
The site is a designated National Monument,
but is operated by the State of Louisiana
which does a phenomenal job of preserving,
interpreting and maintaining the earthworks.
Features of the site include the mounds and
ridges, a museum, walking trails, exhibits
and guided tram tours. Poverty Point is open
daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The price to visit is
only $2 for adults. Senior citizens and kids 12
and under are admitted free.

Science Public Policy News
Modest Research Funding Increases in Current Fiscal Year
By Patricia Kobor and Sara Robinson
On January 23, 2004, Congress finally approved the Fiscal Year (FY) 2004 omnibus appropriations bill containing funds for the Department of Health and Human Services, National Science Foundation (NSF), and other federal agencies. In this bill, Congress has provided a record-setting $127 billion for federal research and development. However, 93 percent of the 2004 increase goes to just three agencies: the Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and National Institutes of Health (NIH), with DOD accounting for 80 percent of the increase.
The omnibus bill includes an across-the-board cut of 0.59 percent for all agencies, even those whose budgets were signed into law in 2003. The one exception is DoD, whose appropriation, enacted in the fall, includes an 18.1 percent increase for its Science and Technology (S&T) budget, for a total of $12.1 billion. The DHS budget gets a 56 percent boost to $1.04 billion.
Other research agencies do not fare as well. The omnibus bill adds $847 million to NIH for a total of $27.1 billion, a modest 3 percent increase after five years of 15 percent increases. Congress provides a five percent increase for NSF, with a total budget of $5.6 billion, $4.1 billion of which is allocated for research and related activities. The Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA) receives a 2.5 percent increase, bringing its research budget to $820 million. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) spending will hold steady at $15.4 billion, while R&D funding within NASA actually declines 0.4 percent to $11.0 billion. The omnibus spending bill provides a $2.9 billion increase for the Department of Education, up four percent from FY03.
Just as we began to absorb those numbers, the Bush Administration released its Fiscal Year 2005 (FY05) budget proposal on February 2, 2004. Highlights of the research agency budget requests appear below.
National Science Foundation: The NSF's FY 2005 budget request is $5.75 billion, a three percent increase, or approximately $167 million over this year's newly-enacted appropriation for NSF.
Funding is included for five top "priority areas" including the behavioral research priority area, "Human and Social Dynamics." In addition, the budget includes a new $5 million Innovation Fund to enable NSF to respond quickly to rapidly emerging activities at the frontiers of learning and discovery, and continued funding for the Science of Learning centers.
Department of Defense: The DoD budget includes a request for the Science and Technology account (basic and applied research) of $10.55 billion. This is 12.7 percent less than the Fiscal Year 2004 funding level, but an increase over the President's request of last year. The budget request for specific behavioral science programs was not available at press time.
National Institutes of Health: The administration's budget requests a disappointingly modest 2.6 percent increase for NIH, bringing its funding to $28.8 billion. NIH would fund 258 added research project grants with its increase, but growth in numbers would mean cuts in funding for all research projects. NIH would cut back on the annual "cost-of-living" increases on non-competing continuation grants and limit cost increases on new and successfully re-competed projects to one percent, thereby creating more grants funded at lower levels.
The NIH Roadmap for Biomedical Research would receive $237 million if the President's proposal is enacted, an increase of $109 million over FY 2004. Within that amount, the Office of the Director would receive $60 million, an increase of $25 million, to disburse through the NIH Director's Discretionary Fund. The remaining $177 million would come from NIH institutes and centers, each of which would contribute 0.63 percent of its budget request.
Research training would receive an increase of $15 million, or two percent, for a total of $764 million. The proposal includes funding for 17,791 research trainees, up 225 from FY 2004.
APA is advocating a ten percent increase in NIH funding, to $30.6 billion.
Bioterrorism: Government-wide, funding for terrorism countermeasures is an area of budget increase, but not in all cases. Two bioterrorism preparedness programs are cut: the Health Resources and Services Administration's hospital preparedness program loses $39 million, a cut of 7.5 percent; and the Center for Disease Control's State and Local preparedness program loses $105 million, or 11 percent. The latter amount is redirected into a new biosurveillance initiative that stresses new technologies at the expense of trained personnel who are needed to provide the response when early warnings of disease or attack occur.
Department of Homeland Security: DHS receives a 10.5 percent increase in the President's budget. The 2005 Budget requests just over one billion dollars for research and development. Within DHS, the Directorate of Science and Technology (S&T) serves as a centralized R&D arm that consolidates piecemeal R&D efforts into one agency. Its focus is to harness revolutionary technology, which can be used by law enforcement and emergency response personnel in carrying out their mission to protect the Nation. S&T works to solicit proposals and seeks to engage the established U.S. R&D community in the fight against terrorism.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration: The 2005 NASA budget provides $9.4 billion for federal science and technology programs, a 1.3 percent increase over the 2004 level. The 2005 Budget supports the President's new initiative of sustained solar system exploration involving both humans and robots. This initiative encompasses programs of lunar exploration; further robotic exploration of the solar system; focused exploration of Mars to accelerate the search for water and life and to prepare for future human exploration; and robotic space exploration; and refocused Space Station research on activities that support space-exploration goals.
Institute of Education Sciences (IES): The 2005 Budget provides a total of $449.6 million for the broad activities of the institute, including $91.4 million for statistics, and $94.8 million for the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The President's budget includes a $20 million increase in funding for research, development, and dissemination ($185 million in 2005), which supports research programs on cognition and student learning and other research to advance understanding of how students learn and identify effective approaches and interventions to improve education. The Administration has also provided $78 million for research and innovation in special education research in 2005, which was previously funded through the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services
Department of Veterans Affairs: The VA's research account would take a 6.1 percent cut in the President's budget request for 2005, from $820 million in 2004 to $770 million.
Release of the President's budget is only the first step in the yearly process through which federal programs are funded. First, a budget must be approved by the U.S. House and Senate. Next, each of 14 appropriations, or spending, bills, encompassing different combinations of federal agency spending requests, must be approved by both Houses of Congress and signed by the President. Watch PSA and the Science Policy Insider News (SPIN), our electronic newsletter about science policy issues, for the latest news on science funding and regulation from the APA Science Policy staff.

The Inter Anglican Standing Commission on Ecumenical Relations
IASCER: Resolutions arising from the 2005 meeting
The Windsor Report
The Inter-Anglican Standing Commission for Ecumenical Relations
Response to the Windsor Report
IASCER has been asked to respond to the Windsor Report in preparation for the meeting of the Primates in February 2005. Below are the initial reflections on the Report and its ecumenical implications, agreed at IASCER's meeting in December 2004.
The Windsor Report is a rich resource for ecumenical endeavours, offering mature consideration of Anglican self-understanding, grounded in Scripture, which invites partners to engage with the fundamental issues that it addresses.
These issues, and the Communion's response, have major ecumenical implications.
Reception of the Windsor Report: Implications for Ecumenical Relations
IASCER hopes the Communion will pursue the Report's recommendations, as this will significantly assist ecumenical relations. Not following this course is likely to complicate and further impair relations.
Provinces should note that ecumenical partners will follow their responses in close detail.
IASCER welcomes in principle the proposal for a Council of Advice for the Archbishop of Canterbury (§111,112). This should contain ecumenical expertise and be charged with considering ecumenical dimensions of the matters before it, in conjunction with appropriate advice from IASCER.
IASCER also welcomes in principle the proposal for an Anglican Covenant (§118-120). This could have major implications for the conduct of ecumenical relations, as a covenant might clarify the process by which the Anglican Communion makes decisions about proposed ecumenical agreements.
IASCER believes the recognition and articulation of the body of shared principles of Canon Law could strengthen the ecclesial character of the Anglican Communion (§113-117).
In their legislation, Anglican provinces should always be mindful of their local and global ecumenical responsibilities (§47, 79, 130).
Associated Developments in Ecumenical Relations
Several ecumenical partners have reacted strongly to the developments behind the Windsor Report (§28, 130).
Consequentially, there is a slow-down in some bilateral dialogues during what partners see as this unstable period prior to provinces' responses to the Report. Some have questioned whether we are a reliable and consistent ecumenical partner.
Nevertheless, partners have appreciated our ecumenical intent, shown by seeking their contributions to the Lambeth Commission, and now inviting their responses to the Report.
IASCER looks forward to studying these responses, as a further contribution to our ecumenical relations.
The Windsor Report as a Resource for Ecumenical Relations
Many of the Report's themes are prominent in ecumenical relations, eg the nature of the Church and local, regional and international ecclesial bodies, and relationships between them; authority; the instruments of unity; and episkopé, including primacy.
Koinonia refers primarily to the life of the one Church of Christ. Its theological principles therefore are relevant both to the life of the Anglican Communion and to ecumenical relations (Section B in particular). Fractures in communion are always serious and care should be exercised in using such expressions as 'impaired communion.'
The report also articulates a vision of the nature of Anglicanism which can be offered in ecumenical relations. Whatever we say about the Anglican Communion and its ecumenical relations should be brought to the touchstone of the four credal marks of the Church – One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic (§49).
Issues for Further Consideration
Many partner churches experience similar tensions over human sexuality. They also face the legislative redefinition of marriage in many countries(§28). We might profitably share with each other our continuing work on the theological understanding of human sexuality, and its grounding in Scripture, tradition and reason.
Many provinces have entered various Covenants with partners: fuller theological reflection on the meaning of Covenant might help our understanding of our interdependence.
IASCER considers that ecumenical relations would be assisted by further careful clarification of terminology (eg distinguishing between homosexual orientation and practice; also clarifying usage of 'church' between the Universal Church and its Anglican expressions).
Ecumenical relations would similarly be helped by fuller exploration and articulation of the following matters to which the Windsor Report refers:
Civil Partnerships
The Inter-Anglican Standing Commission for Ecumenical Relations
Episcopal Collegiality
The Inter-Anglican Standing Commission for Ecumenical Relations
Admission of the Non-baptised to Holy Communion
The Inter-Anglican Standing Commission for Ecumenical Relations

Freiburg stand firm to frustrate Leverkusen
Bayer 04 Leverkusen moved up a place into second, but could find themselves 11 points adrift of Bundesliga leaders FC Bayern Munchen come Sunday night after being held to a goalless draw at SC Freiburg.
The match promised to be a tight affair, as Freiburg's only defeat in their last 11 fixtures in all competitions had come against Bayern, while Leverkusen had lost just once in their previous seven Bundesliga outings. So it proved, despite shots from Freiburg's Jan Rosenthal and Leverkusen's André Schürrle striking the upright.
Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt consolidated their position in fourth with a 2-1 home victory against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. Armin Veh's side remain three points ahead of 1. FSV Mainz 05, who won 3-0 at SpVgg Greuther Fürth courtesy of three second-half goals, including a double from Ádám Szalai.
Elsewhere, FC Schalke 04 lost further ground in their hunt for a UEFA Champions League berth following a goalless stalemate at FC Augsburg, while two early goals helped VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach beat Fortuna Düsseldorf 2-1.
Hannover 96 triumphed over VfL Wolfsburg by the same scoreline, despite a first-half red card for debutant Sébastien Pocognoli, signed this week from R. Standard de Liège. On Friday, champions Borussia Dortmund overcame 1. FC Nürnberg 3-0.
