1 Adjectives of veracity as vagueness regulators Melania S. Masià Spanish National Research Council (ILLA-CSIC) Sinn und Bedeutung 19 - Georg August University Göttingen, 16 September 2014
2 Adjectives of veracity Adjectives of veracity (AVs) in prenominal position in Spanish signal that the referent is an outstanding exemplar of the category denoted by the noun (1) Paloma es una verdadera artista. Paloma is a true artist. (2) El tráfico es un auténtico problema en Madrid. Traffic congestion is a real problem in Madrid. (3) Marina es una verdadera americana. Marina is a real American. 1/60
3 Adjectives of veracity The kind of modification AVs perform in the noun seems to involve some sort of gradability In fact, equivalent expressions in English (real, true) have been analyzed as degree (Morzycki, 2009) or prototypical modifiers (Morzycki, 2011) Modification by AVs raises the question of how scalarity is present in the nominal domain if degrees are represented in the lexical semantics of nouns or their gradability is of a conceptual or contextual nature 2/60
4 Plan 1. Readings 2. Distribution and previous analyses Degree analysis Prototype analysis 3. Proposal: a vagueness analysis 4. Consequences 3/60
5 Prenominal position The intensifier use is only available in prenominal position in Romance (I will focus on Spanish data only) (4) a. Esther sintió auténtico dolor. Esther felt real pain. (a very intense one) b. Vivieron una verdadera aventura en Zambia. They had a real adventure in Zambia. (an intense, challenging, probably dangerous one) 4/60
6 Prenominal position Postnominal: literal reading not fake/false (5) a. Esther sintió dolor auténtico. Esther felt real pain. (not a fake one) b. Vivieron una aventura verdadera en Zambia They had a true adventure. (not an imaginary one) The literal reading is the only one available in predicative position (6) a. El dolor era auténtico. The pain was real. (only: not fake) b. La aventura fue verdadera. The adventure was real. (only: not false) 5/60
7 Determiner (7) a. Carlos es el verdadero padre de María. Carlos is María s true father. cf. Carlos es un verdadero padre. Carlos is a true father. b. Se ocultó al niño su verdadera identidad. The child was kept from knowing his true identity. cf.??una verdadera identidad a true identity 6/60
8 Ways of being the outstanding individual Individual with a high degree of the property denoted by the noun (Morzycki, 2009) Individual closest to the prototype (Morzycki, 2011) 7/60
9 Degree analysis Some nouns have been proposed to lexicalize a degree argument (Bolinger, 1972; Morzycki, 2009; de Vries, 2010) 1. Nouns that categorize individuals based on a gradable property (8) idiot = λx.ιd[x is d-idiotic] (Morzycki, 2009) They receive a degree interpretation with size adjectives (9) A big idiot / cheese enthusiast. (10) # A big basketball player / problem. 8/60
10 Degree analysis AVs combine with these nouns (11) Juan es un auténtico genio. Juan is a real genius. (12) Esther es una verdadera entusiasta del jazz. Esther is a true jazz enthusiast. Morzycki (2009) proposes that English AVs are adnominal degree morphemes 9/60
11 Degree analysis 2. Abstract mass and count nouns (wisdom, problem) (Bolinger, 1972) (13) Juan respondió con auténtica sabiduría. Juan answered with real wisdom. (14) El tráfico en Madrid es un verdadero problema. Traffic congestion in Madrid is a true problem. 10/60
12 Degree analysis some problems The distribution of AVs is not restricted to these nouns and the interpretation is not always that of high degree of the property Deverbal nouns (15) Una verdadera derrota de ETA no debe basarse tan solo en la retirada de sus armas. A true defeat of ETA should not be based only in destroying its weaponry. (16) Ha supuesto una auténtica revolución en el transporte aéreo. It has brought about a real revolution to air transport. 11/60
13 Degree analysis some problems Concrete nouns (17) Es una verdadera casa rural al estilo del siglo XIX. It s a real rural house with a 19th century style decoration. (see Constantinescu (2011) for problems in general with degrees in the lexical semantics of nouns) 12/60
14 Prototype analysis The outstanding individual referred by true P is sometimes closed to the prototype of the category denoted by P. (18) A real sportscar. Morzycki (2011) proposes an analysis for English real and true based on manipulation of scales of prototypicality (19) real c = λf <e,t> λx.f (x) large c (similar c (x, prototype(f ))) However, subjectivity, rather than typicality, is what seems to be at stake in modification by AVs 13/60
15 Prototype analysis some problems Nouns that denote concepts with clear prototypes do not usually combine with AVs And even when they do, they fail to point to the prototype of the category (20) *Vimos una verdadera ave. We saw a true bird. (21) El Archaeopteryx y el Archaeornis son auténticas aves. Archaeopteryx and Archaeornis are true birds. (22) Esther es una verdadera artista hace unas flores de ganchillo preciosas. Esther is a true artist she makes beautiful crochet flowers. 14/60
16 Prototype analysis typical A real modifier of typicality ((proto)típico, prototypical ) mainly occurs in postnominal position, and thus receives a restrictive interpretation. (23) Inma es una artista (proto)típica. Inma is a typical artist. (24)?? Inma es una típica artista. Inma is not a typical artist 15/60
17 Prototype analysis typical As such, the negation of the DP entails that the individual is N, but not A. This is not the case with AVs (25) Inma no es una artista (proto)típica Inma es una artista Inma is not a typical artist Inma is an artist (26) Inma no es una artista (proto)típica, pero sí una artista. Inma is not a typical artist, but she s an artist. (27) Inma no es una verdadera artista Inma es una artista Inma is not a true artist Inma is an artist (28)??Inma no es una verdadera artista, pero sí una artista. Inma is not a true artist, but she s an artist. 16/60
18 Arguments for a vagueness analysis Nouns that denote natural kinds or concrete objects do not usually combine with AVs (29) a. * Vimos una verdadera ave. We saw a true bird. b. * Solo quiero beber auténtica agua. I only want to drink real water. (30) a.?? Tengo una verdadera mesa en mi despacho. I have a true table in my office. b.?? Llevaba una auténtica pistola. She carried a real gun. (# not a fake one ) 17/60
19 Arguments for a vagueness analysis Unless the membership of the individual in the category denoted by the noun is being discussed (31) El Archaeopteryx y el Archaeornis nos son animales intermedios entre estos dos grupos [reptiles y aves], sino auténticas aves, con algunos caracteres que las asemejan más a los reptiles. (from Google) Archaeopteryx and Archaeornis are not transitional animals between these two groups (reptiles and birds), but true birds, with some features that make them look more like reptiles. 18/60
20 Arguments for a vagueness analysis Unless the membership of the individual in the category denoted by the noun is being discussed (32) Ceres fue considerado demasiado pequeño para ser un verdadero planeta. Ceres was considered too small to be a real planet. (33) Tráeme una verdadera silla, no esa cosa de IKEA que compraste. Bring me a true chair, not that IKEA thing you bought. 19/60
21 Arguments for a vagueness analysis Natural kinds (and concrete objects, to a lesser extent) are discrete concepts Category membership is not graded The relevant factor for combination with AVs is uncertainty about where the cutoff point for the category denoted by the noun is vagueness 20/60
22 An additional ingredient Subjectivity The outstanding individual is an outstanding individual according to the speaker 21/60
23 Subjectivity AVs select the evaluative dimensions of the noun (34) Su casa es un auténtico palacio, pero no es un palacio de verdad. Their house is a real palace, but it s not an actual palace. (35) Marina es una verdadera americana, pero no tiene la nacionalidad. Marina is a real American, but she is not a US citizen. (36) No es un verdadero padre para ninguno de sus hijos. He s not a true father to any of his children. 22/60
24 Subjectivity Subjective predicates Subjective predicates can be embedded under subjective attitude verbs (find, consider) (Stephenson, 2007; Sæbø, 2009; Bouchard, 2012) (37) I find dinosaurs terrifying. (38) # I find dinosaurs extinct. 23/60
25 Subjectivity Nouns modified by AVs can be embedded under subjective attitude verbs such as find or consider. (39) a.??encuentro que Marina es profesora / americana. I find Marina to be a teacher / an American. b. Encuentro que Marina es una verdadera profesora / americana. I find Marina to be a true teacher / a real American. 24/60
26 Subjectivity Subjective predicates Subjective predicates give rise to faultless (rather than objective) disagreement (Kölbel, 2002; Lasersohn, 2005; Stephenson, 2007; Stojanovic, 2007; Bylinina, 2014) (40) A: Roller coasters are fun. B: No, they aren t. 25/60
27 Subjectivity Nouns modified by AVs give rise to faultless disagreement rather than contradiction (41) A: Marina es profesora. Marina is a teacher. B: No, no lo es (es periodista). No, she isn t (she s a journalist). (42) A: Marina es una verdadera profesora. Marina is a true teacher. B: No, no lo es (no motiva a sus alumnos). No, she isn t (she doesn t inspire her students). 26/60
28 Subjectivity Nouns denoting natural kinds or concrete objects modified by AVs do not give rise to subjectivity (43)? Encuentro que esto es un verdadero pájaro. I find this to be a true bird. (44)? Encuentro que esto es una auténtica mesa. I find this to be a real table. 27/60
29 Subjectivity Nouns denoting natural kinds or concrete objects modified by AVs do not give rise to subjectivity (45) A: El Archaeopteryx y el Archaeornis nos son animales intermedios entre estos dos grupos [reptiles y aves], sino auténticas aves, con algunos caracteres que las asemejan más a los reptiles. Archaeopteryx and Archaeornis are not transitional animals between these two groups (reptiles and birds), but true birds, with some features that make them look more like reptiles. B: No, no lo son. No, they aren t. 28/60
30 Interim summary Degree and prototype analyses of AVs don t account for their distribution and type of modification AVs combine only with vague nouns AVs turn the noun into a subjective predicate 29/60
31 Internal structure of nouns The relevant factor in the combination with AVs is uncertainty about where the cutoff point for the category is Nouns can be vague AVs restrict the denotation to outstanding individuals of the category entities in the denotations of nouns are ordered according to their similarity with some ideal values (usually the prototype) (Rosch, 1973; Osherson and Smith, 1981; Kamp and Partee, 1995) But, unlike adjectives, nouns do not seem to be linguistically gradable (Constantinescu, 2011) 30/60
32 Internal structure of nouns Sassoon (2013b) Nouns are multidimensional predicates Noun concepts map entities to their weighted mean on a set of dimensions. Function f + (P, t, g, ) maps entities to degrees reflecting the extent to which they match P s ideal values in those dimensions. Nouns have the same parts of interpretation as adjectives: standard, domain, dimension set F, weight, and value. 31/60
33 Vagueness model Full vagueness model (Sassoon, 2013b): Ground context c 0, partial contexts c C, total contexts t T For each P, in each context c, for an assignment function g, x s positive degree in P is unspecified (vague) a given real number deg + (P, c, g)(x) (sharp) In every total context t, P is associated with a positive extension deg + (P, t, g) and a negative one deg (P, t, g) 32/60
34 Vagueness model The standard for any P is calculated based on a salient set of entities ( = Comparison class) Standard + (P, t, g) = S(P, t, g, Domain + (P, t, g)) For any entity set X D n, S(P, t, g, X ) is a salient degree of P (46) Standard + (artist, c, g) = S(artist, c, g, Domain + (artist, c, g)) 33/60
35 Proposal: vagueness regulation AVs are vagueness regulators In particular, they restrict the domain in which the standard for the noun is calculated In this way, the standard rises and the denotation is shrunk to best exemplars of the category 34/60
36 AVs as domain restrictors AVs restrict the domain to entities that are already in the denotation of P in the context: (47) Standard + (P, c, g) = S(P, c, g, P + ) (48) Standard + (artist, c, g) = S(artist, c, g, artist + ) 35/60
37 AVs as domain restrictors For any predicate P and any individual d (49) P + = = λx.deg + (x, P, c, g) Standard + (P, c, g, Domain + (P, c, g)) (50) true P + = λx.deg + (x, P, c, g) Standard + (P, c, g, P + ) 36/60
38 AVs as domain restrictors (51) x is a true P = 1 iff deg + (x, P, c, g) Standard + (P, c, g, P + ) (52) Paloma is a true artist = 1 iff deg + (Paloma, artist, c, g) Standard + (artist, c, g, artist + ) 37/60
39 Intensification (53) Paloma es una verdadera artista. Paloma is a true artist. AVs raise the standard of the vague noun, so the denotation is restricted to the best exemplars of P, those entities ranking high in the ordered denotation of P, according to the speaker s criteria Intensification derives from the fact that entities in the denotation of true P have higher degrees in the dimensions of the noun 38/60
40 Intensification (54) Marina es una auténtica americana. Marina is a real American. (55) Carlos es un verdadero padre. Carlos is a true father. In nouns with an objective (non-vague) and a subjective (vague) sense, AVs force the vague reading by selecting the subjective dimensions to restrict the domain. 39/60
41 Literal reading not fake (56) Carlos es el verdadero padre de María. Carlos is María s true father. In loose or normal uses, these nouns are vague regarding whether they refer to fake instances or not AV raise the standard to include only best exemplars in the denotation of the noun (according to the speaker) 40/60
42 Literal reading not fake The definite determiner introduces de requirement that the denotation of true P has a sole individual (57) the = λf : f D <e,t>!x[f (x) = 1]. ιy[f (y) = 1] (Heim and Kratzer, 1998) which usually will correspond to the actual one but not necessarily so (58) Tú eres mi verdadero padre. (said to an adoptive father) You are my true father. 41/60
43 Non-vague nouns (59) * Vimos una verdadera ave. We saw a true bird. (60) * El 7 es un verdadero número primo. 7 is a true prime number. In nouns denoting sharp concepts, the standard is fixed by convention, so the limit between P and not P is clear (no vagueness) The speaker cannot order the domain according to their own criteria So modification by AVs becomes trivial 42/60
44 Non-vague nouns However, if the noun is used metaphorically (categorization is based in subjective dimensions), modification by AVs become possible again (61) Juan es un verdadero pájaro. Lit. Juan is a true bird. (he s wily) 43/60
45 Comparison with very In this type of analysis, AV have an effect similar to that of very + adj Very manipulates the comparison class: it calculates the new standard by restricting the CC to entities which are already P (Klein 1980; Kennedy and McNally 2005; McNabb 2012, a.o.): (62) very c = λgλx. d[standard(d)(g)(λy. pos(g)(y) c ) G(d)(x)] 44/60
46 Comparison with very simmilarities In fact, the effect they have in nationality and other adj/nouns with stereotypical dimensions is equivalent: (63) Marina es muy americana / una verdadera americana. Marina is very American / a true American. (64) Juan es muy payaso / un verdadero payaso. Lit. Juan is very clown / a real clown. 45/60
47 Comparison with very simmilarities Recursion of very is only possible with the same lexical item (Kennedy and McNally, 2005) (65) a. * I was quite very surprised. b. * I was really very surprised. c. I was [[very very] surprised]. The same seems to happen with AVs (66) a. * Un auténtico verdadero artista. b. Un verdadero verdadero artista. 46/60
48 Comparison with very some differences Negation (67) Lluís es alto pero no muy alto. Lluís is tall but not very tall. (68) a.??paloma es una artista pero no una auténtica artista. Paloma is an artist, but not a real artist. b. Carlos es padre pero no es un verdadero padre. Carlos is a father but not a true father. That s the behavior of imprecision regulators (69) #Although the townspeople are asleep, some of them are awake. (Lasersohn, 1999) 47/60
49 Adverbs of veracity Adverbs of veracity (verdaderamente truly, realmente really, auténticamente) have a degree modifier use with adjectives (70) Marina es verdaderamente alta. Marina is truly tall. (71) Lluís estaba realmente nervioso. Lluís was really nervous If the vagueness analysis for AVs is in the good track, their adverbial counterparts would be expected to combine only with vague adjectives 48/60
50 Adverbs of veracity The prediction seems to be borne out Relative adjectives (vague) (72) Marina es verdaderamente alta. Marina is truly tall. (73) El viaje nos salió realmente barato. The travel turned out to be really cheap. 49/60
51 Adverbs of veracity Absolute adjectives (gradable, not vague) only if coerced (74) El vaso está verdaderamente lleno. The glass is truly full. cf. El vaso está muy lleno. The glass is very full. (75) La camisa está realmente mojada. The shirt is really wet. cf. La camisa está muy mojada. The shirt is very wet. 50/60
52 Adverbs of veracity Non-gradable adjectives (not gradable, not vague) (76)??Vanessa está realmente embarazada. Vanessa is really pregnant. cf. Realmente, Vanessa está embarazada. Really, Vanessa is pregnant. (77)??Este problema es verdaderamente geopoĺıtico. This problem is truly geopolitical. cf. Verdaderamente, este problema es geopoĺıtico (no medioambiental) Truly, this problem is geopolitical (not environmental). 51/60
53 Sources of subjectivity: evaluative adjectives Multidimensional adjectives can be classified according to their logical dimension binding operations (Sassoon, 2013a): Conjunctive (healthy): entities are required to reach the standard in all of their dimensions Disjunctive (sick): entities are required to reach the standard in at least one of their dimensions Mixed (smart): the context determines whether they are conjunctive or disjunctive Evaluative adjectives are mixed : the weight and salience of the dimensions is subject to contextual and intra-speaker variation (Bylinina, 2014) 52/60
54 Sources of subjectivity: nouns an idea Multidimensionality Just like with adjectives, the weight assigned to the dimensions of the noun can vary across contexts and speakers However, only subjective (as opposed to objective, maybe definitional?) dimensions seem to be able to receive different weights 53/60
55 Sources of subjectivity: nouns two possibilities The domain for calculating the standard of true P could be The set of individuals that are already P in the context, according to the speaker manipulation of the judge parameter (78) true P + = λx.deg + (d, P, c, g) Standard + (P, c, g, P +,j ) The set of individuals characterized by the subjective or stereotypical dimensions associated with P 54/60
56 Conclusion Adjectives of veracity are domain restrictors They shrink the domain from which the standard of the noun is calculated Intensification derives from the fact that individuals in the extension of the modified noun rank high in its dimensions 55/60
57 Further issues Vagueness vs. imprecision Another type of vagueness analysis: context operators (McNabb, 2013; Beltrama and Bochnak, Beltrama and Bochnak) Epistemic reading of adverbs of veracity (see Constantinescu (2013) for an epistemic analysis of true and real) Prenominal position in Romance (79) un completo idiota /??un idiota completo a complete idiot. (80) un presunto asesino /??un asesino presunto an alleged murderer. (81) las viejas llaves / las llaves viejas the old keys / the keys that are old. 56/60

Violinist Roger Young didn't know he'd be playing for a female conductor on Tuesday. Not a human conductor, but the image of one in a street artwork being drawn as he played - part of a lunchtime pop-up performance on Higson Lane.
"As soon as I saw the work by the artist, Lucy Lucy, it made me think about how rare female conductors are, it's still a very male-dominated area of music," said Young, who performed solo. "But only later did I learn that Lucy only ever paints images of women."
The performance is part of a push by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra to engage new audiences.
"The 2015 season is all about cult classics and by doing the street art we want people to discover the MSO in unexpected places," said a spokesman for the MSO.
"It's been about engaging with people who have never experienced the MSO before or people who have never been and hopefully come to a concert as well."
Young, who has been with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra for 14 years, said it was an exciting opportunity to play in a casual but public way and that Lucy Lucy's artwork inspired him.
"I thought it's a great artwork and it reminded me of a very early concert I did when I was 22 which was the opening of Beethoven's 5th symphony, so I played that," he said.
"Busking is something that pretty much every musician has done at some stage. I certainly did it when I was studying overseas to get by and pay for expenses, so it was a fun trip down memory lane," he said.
The pop-up performance saw passers-by stopping to enjoy the music and take pictures.
"We are much more accessible for everyone when seen in that light, which is always a good thing."

Team notes
NL East
Atlanta Braves
Seventeen months after coming back from the brink of retirement,
John Burkett is confident he can pitch until he's 40.
He'll become a free agent at the end of the season and
turn 37 on Nov. 28. He has a 2.86 ERA and stands to make big money. The most
Burkett has made in a season was $4 million with the Rangers and the Marlins
in 1996. He could double that in 2002, not bad for a pitcher cut by the Devil
Rays in 2000.
The Braves are his first choice, but he won't get top dollar
from a club that has a staff getting up in age anyway. Their interest depends
largely on whether they re-sign John Smoltz, with both Jason Marquis
and Odalis Perez ready to fill out the rotation.
Burkett has a one-year, $1.75 million contract with the
Braves. That might be the biggest bargain in baseball for a pitcher who is 11-10
in 195 innings.
Jones started in left Sept. 5 for the first time since
July 6, 1997. He played 26 games in the outfield from 1995-1997.
Betemit hit .277 with seven homers and 43 RBI in 84 games
at Class A Myrtle Beach and .355 with five home runs and 19 RBI in 47 games
at Double-A Greenville.
Florida Marlins
The Marlins' downward spiral was interrupted by top pitching
prospect Josh Beckett's brilliant debut.
He allowed one hit in six shutout innings of an 8-1 victory
against the Cubs on Sept. 4.
Beckett, 21, is expected to win a spot in the rotation
next spring.
"The kid is the real deal," said Kevin Millar, who
hit a grand slam to help Beckett win.
Beckett went 14-1 with 203 strikeouts in 140 innings this
season between Class A Brevard County and Double-A Portland. (Our Minor
League Pitcher of the Year, Pages 24-25)
Florida blew leads in each of the next three games against
the Mets and lost them all, dropping to 12 games under .500.
"We don't look like a big-league team out there," manager
Tony Perez said. "We look dead."
After a sloppy loss to the Mets on Sept. 6, Perez said
some players weren't hustling and were displaying a defeated attitude, trudging
off the field with their heads down. The next day he benched Alex Gonzalez,
Cliff Floyd and Mike Lowell and held catcher Charles Johnson
out a second consecutive game.
Montreal Expos
Javier Vazquez is on the best roll of his career
and has an outside shot to become the second pitcher in team history to win
20 games.
Vazquez beat Philadelphia for the second outing in a row
Sept. 7 one day after being named NL Pitcher of the Month to win
his sixth consecutive start.
He raised his record to 16-11 with four starts remaining.
He has a chance to join Ross Grimsley as the Expos' only 20-game winners.
Vazquez had nine strikeouts Sept. 7 to raise his total
to 206, becoming the sixth Expo in history to strike out at least 200, and the
first since Pedro Martinez set the team record with 305 in 1997.
Since June 25, Vazquez is 11-2 with a 2.21 ERA in 15 starts,
lowering his ERA from 4.96 to 3.50.
While team officials never said anything more to explain
the suspension than Irabu "violated the terms of his contract," Japan's Kyodo
News Service reported that Irabu was suspended because he drank himself into
such a stupor before a start with Triple-A Ottawa that he had to be hospitalized.
Acquired from the Yankees on Dec. 23, 1999, the Expos
restructured Irabu's contract, signing him to a two-year deal with team options
for 2002 and 2003.
After making only 11 starts last season because of surgeries
on his knee and elbow, Irabu made just three starts this season because of
various injuries.
Irabu was 2-7 with a 6.69 ERA for Montreal.
Cabrera, who had one error in his previous 64 games,
had a 34-game errorless streak before making his last error Aug. 3.
He has eight errors in 142 games and leads NL shortstops
with 677 total chances and a .988 fielding percentage.
New York Mets
Edgardo Alfonzo's hottest string of the season
.333 (19-for-57) in his last 14 games, including a 10-game hitting streak
coincided with the Mets' best streak of the year.
Alfonzo dislocated his left index finger during a 6-1 win
Sept. 7 against the Marlins. He dove for a ball, dislocating the finger that
he keeps outside of his glove. After two unsuccessful attempts, Alfonzo forced
the joint back into place and finished the half inning.
"I was so scared," Alfonzo said. "I thought it was broken."
He did not play Saturday or Sunday but was expected back in the lineup sometime
this week.
"I really like his play," Shinjo said. "He is a great
player. I just wanted to try his bat."
In the sixth, Shinjo belted a fastball from Florida's
A.J. Burnett over the left field wall. The two-run homer extended the Mets'
lead to three runs. Between first and second base, Shinjo touched the top
of his helmet, apparently as a salute to Wilson in center.
It isn't unusual for Shinjo to use someone else's bat.
He said he's hit nine of his 10 homers using other players' bats.
Philadelphia Phillies
Manager Larry Bowa talked earlier this season about
the difficulty of winning without a true ace such as Curt Schilling, whom the
Phillies traded a year ago.
Now it appears Bowa might have a legitimate No. 1 starter.
After beating the Expos on Sept. 6, right-hander Robert
Person is 10-1 with a 3.48 ERA in his last 15 starts.
Person's success could be a double-edged sword for the
Phillies, however. He will be eligible for free agency after next season.
The Phillies might have a hard time justifying giving a
32-year-old coming off the best half-season of his career a multiyear deal for
huge money, especially since he's pitching with a small tear in his shoulder.
For the time being, though, Bowa is happy to send Person to the mound every
fifth day.
That's an exciting prospect to the Venezuelan natives
on the roster: Bobby Abreu, Omar Daal and Tomas Perez.
"That would make me proud," Abreu said. "It would be
nice to show people a little bit of my country. I know they're going to like

President Obama ordered federal agencies to reduce spending by at least 20% in five areas deemed wasteful.
The effort, to be announced Wednesday morning, targets travel, technology, printing, vehicles and promotional items, or "swag."
It's all part of the White House's effort to slash waste and increase efficiency, made increasingly necessary not only by annual $1.5 trillion deficits but the approaching 2012 elections.
The administration says it has trimmed $5 billion by going after no-bid contracts and is on track to cut $3.5 billion on government properties.
The effort is billed as part of Obama's "We Can't Wait" campaign aimed at congressional inaction -- largely, the White House says, because of Republicans' intransigence. It's an ironic twist, since the GOP has called for much larger spending cuts than Obama.
"We can't wait for Congress to act," Obama said. "We can't wait for them to get our fiscal house in order and make the investments necessary to make America great."
A task force led by Vice President Biden identified many of the areas Obama selected for future cuts. The order will cover the gamut from government travel to promotional water bottles, Biden said.
Among the categories facing 20% cuts from 2010 levels:
David's journalism career spans three decades, including coverage of five presidential elections, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 2000 Florida presidential recount and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He has covered the White House for USA TODAY since 2005. His interests include history, politics, books, movies and college football -- not necessarily in that order. More about David

AM 40th Anniversary - a look back at the history of the ABC's agenda-setting morning radio program.
Wednesday 5 November 2003
AM is Australia's most informative morning current affairs. It covers the stories each morning that the other current affairs teams follow for the rest of the day. Below is the program summary with links to transcripts and audio (if available).
Australian troops in East Timor are preparing for the pull out of UN peacekeepers next year. They're handing over key duties to the country's new military, though there are warnings from East Timor's leaders that the country's fledgling forces are not yet capable of defending their own borders.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission is seeking urgent amendments to the Family Law Act after the failure of a case against Jodee Rich, the founder of the failed telco, One.Tel. Breaking with the usual secrecy provisions in family law cases, the court published its finding that there was a prima facie case that Jodee Rich had transferred some $5-million in assets to his wife to defeat claims by creditors. But it couldn't intervene in the absence of a "matrimonial dispute".
Immigration authorities are expected to decide sometime today what they will do with the group of people who arrived by boat at Melville Island, north of Darwin, rekindling political heat over the issues of border protection and immigration. At least 14 men, apparently from the Middle East, washed up on a remote beach on the Island yesterday and were then sent back out to sea.
The Head of the Anglican Church in Australia says the Church's first homosexual Bishop, Gene Robinson, would not be welcomed as a minister in Australia. Doctor Peter Carnley's comments come amid renewed concern about a split in the Church over the issue of homosexuality since Bishop Robinson's consecration in the US last Sunday.
The Federal Government is considering the very unusual and expensive step of bringing the Senate to Canberra next week, a fortnight early, so that two more organisations can be added to Australia's list of groups declared to be terrorist. The Attorney-General Philip Ruddock is today introducing into the House of Representatives legislation to ban the Pakistani group Lashkar-e-Toiba and the military wing of the Islamic group, Hamas.
Lashkar-e-Toiba translates as "Army of the Pure". The group is connected to several high profile security suspects, including Adelaide-born David Hicks, who's in US custody, and the deported French suspect, Willie Brigitte. Those raided in the wake of Brigitte's arrest also say that ASIO questioned them on the issue of militant Pakistani groups. Banning the organisation could lead to more raids in Australia, but with ASIO's claim that the group has formed links here, there's also an expert warning against overreaction.
Attacks are continuing against Coalition forces in Iraq, with the main US compound in Baghdad targeted by weapons fire for two nights in a row now, and a range of other attacks leaving more dead � Coalition and Iraqi. It follows a string of deadly attacks in recent weeks, though in these latest incidents in Baghdad at least, there've been injuries but no-one killed.
The Federal Government has been weighing up its options overnight, following the arrival at Melville Island of Immigration and Customs officials, and the Royal Australian Navy. Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone has said that now that Melville Island has been excised, the group won't be able to apply for asylum, however, there are Opposition moves to ditch the new regulations on that.

Officers shoot suspect at Universal CityWalk
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police say officers shot and killed an armed suspect after gunfire broke out near a nightclub at Universal CityWalk.
Sgt. Barry Montgomery says the shooting happened around 1:15 a.m. Monday in a common area outside Infusion Lounge at the popular entertainment complex in North Hollywood.
Montgomery says officers responding to a call of a disturbance at the club arrived and heard gunshots. He says they spotted a suspect with a handgun and opened fire, striking the man. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Montgomery says several people fleeing the melee were injured. A Los Angeles County Fire Department dispatcher says two people were transported to hospitals.
Witnesses tell KABC-TV someone began shooting after a fight broke out at the club, which was hosting a DJ competition.
Investigators recovered a handgun at the scene.

Georgia's first lady Mary Perdue spent Monday in Savannah seeking support for her campaign for children in state custody.
Perdue urged more corporate support and individual volunteering at a community breakfast at Skidaway Island United Methodist Church and then at the Rotary Club of Savannah meeting.
Now entering its third year, The first lady's Our Children Campaign has picked up 48 "champion" members around the state, including Memorial Health University Medical Center, which have pledged new or increased support for the state's foster-care programs.
Perdue challenges businesses to support the campaign through adopting a group home, offering flexible spending benefits to participating employees, supporting volunteering or offering assistance to families that foster or adopt children.
The first lady also wants to inspire individuals to become foster parents or volunteers.
"The family unit is the best environment to raise a child," she said, in an interview Monday with the Savannah Morning News.
"One of the things I want to encourage is to get more people thinking about the idea of fostering a child."
Foster families save the state $30 million to $40 million a year, she said.
The first lady pointed to the work of some faith-based programs as especially innovative. Some churches or faith-based groups can offer a visitation center for foster children and their biological parents as an alternative to state-funded visitation programs.
"It provides a neutral place for parents and children to spend time together instead of a DFCS office," she said.
"That also gives (the church) an outreach opportunity to that family that's in crisis and could give them an ongoing support system."

During the flash crash of May 6, 2010, the 1000 plunge in the Dow Jones seems historic, unprecedented and surely unrepeatable – after all the regulators had "learned their lesson" and would never allow a move like this ever again, right? Wrong.

"The right to be let alone is indeed the beginning of all freedom." ~ Justice William O. Douglas
Romans 13: Ordained by Sin, Ordered by Love
There it began – the Roman Emperor Theodosius I signed the decree, and all of Rome was coerced into Christianity. Ever since then, as economist Ludwig von Mises notes very well, Christianity has never been able to put down the sword on a large scale.

Keep in mind that Romans 13, which was, in my opinion, intentionally mistranslated, was supposedly written by the same man who said, "All things lawful are mine, but all things are not expedient. All things lawful are mine, and I will not be controlled/governed/ruled by any"; and "You are bought with a price; be not you the servants of men"; and "... having stripped the rulers and the authorities, he [JESUS (sic)] made a show of them in public, triumphing over them in it."
