2004 Olympics: Day Seven Recap
Compiled By John Manuel
Japan Clinches Top Seed; Cuba, Canada, Australia follow in medal round
Complete Index of 2004 Olympic Coverage
Canada 11, Australia 0
Ending a two-game losing streak, Canada shut out Australia to secure third place in round-robin play. At 5-2, Canada now plays 6-1 Cuba in the first game of the medal round, while 4-3 Australia enters medal-round play as the fourth seed and plays top-seeded Japan (6-1).
Those semifinal games will be played Tuesday. The losers meet Wednesday for the bronze medal, while the winners square off Wednesday night for the gold.
"We played (Cuba) tough," outfielder Ryan Radmanovich said of Cuba, which beat Canada 5-2 in the round-robin. "We know we can beat them."
Radmanovich (Somerset, independent) and Jeremy Ware (Expos) both homered, and lefthander Phil Devey (Mariners)--who replaced Jeff Francis on the roster--allowed just two hits over six scoreless innings to pick up the win. Canada posted its fourth shutout out of five wins.
"I felt great," said Devey following his Olympic debut. "I wasn't really nervous. I worked my butt off to get here."
Canada began its offensive barrage in the third inning, when a sacrifice fly by Danny Klassen (Tigers) and a two-run double by Andy Stewart (Winnipeg, independent) staked the team to a 3-0 lead. Radmanovich followed with a two-run home run in the fourth inning to also score Ware, who had doubled.
"We hadn't played to our potential (recently) so it's nice to get some momentum going into the medal round," said Ware, whose three-run home run capped off a six-run ninth inning to give Canada its total of 11 runs--a tournament high for the club.
Canada, which had only scored five runs in its last three games while managing just 17 hits in that span, notched 12 hits against Australia.
"Hitting is contagious," said Radmanovich. "Once a couple of guys found a sweet spot, everyone began to relax at the plate."
Australia, meanwhile, gets a rematch with Japan and has ace righthander Chris Oxspring (Padres) rested and ready for the medal round. The Aussies handed Japan its only defeat in the round-robin.
"We got them one time, and maybe they have some doubt in their minds," veteran Aussie lefthander Graeme Lloyd said. "Hopefully that will help. We've got our sites on the prize and we're going after it."
Cuba 5, Italy 0
Four Cuba pitchers combined for the team's first Olympic shutout in 2004 and sent Italy to last place in the Olympic round-robin.
Roughed up in his last outing against Japan, Cuba starter Vicyohandri Odelin was in better command and pitched a perfect two innings to start the game. Luis Borroto was even more effective in relief, pitching one-hit ball for three innings and striking out six on his way to his second win of the competition. Frank Montieth pitched two innings and had three strikeouts and Manuel Vega closed the game out with a perfect two innings including three strikeouts. Cuba's 14 strikeouts was a tournament-high.
Cuba took control of the game in the second inning with three runs. With Osmani Urrutia and Frederich Cepeda on base after hits, Ariel Pestano slapped a single to right field. On the play, Italy right fielder Mario Chiarini misplayed the sharply hit ball and it rolled by him all the way to the wall and two runs scored. Carlos Tabares added a two-out RBI single for a 3-0 lead.
Pestano finished the night 4-for-4 with a run scored and three RBIs with Cepeda and Urrutia going 2-for-4 as the Cubans tallied 11 hits. Italy starter Michael Marchesano pitched well despite the loss. He went six innings limiting Cuba to four runs on eight hits.
"I believe Japan is the favorite," Italy's team captain, Claudio Liverziani, said after the game. "But Cuba can definitely not be underestimated."
Japan 6, Greece 1
Greece's first-ever Olympic baseball team ended play 1-6 with a loss to Japan. Shinya Miyamoto went 4-for-4 and Kosuke Fukudome hit his third home run of the Olympics as Japan clinched the top seed in the medal round.
"Our objective is to get the gold medal, and that's why we came here to Athens," Japan manager Kiyoshi Nakahata said. "We'll put in all our effort for the remaining two games."
Greece scored its lone run in the seventh inning on a solo home run from 38-year-old ex-big leaguer Erik Pappas, who had three of Greece's four hits on the afternoon. The Greeks kept the game close for six innings, trailing just 2-0 as Mel Melehes (London, independent) limited Japan to seven hits and two runs in 5 2/3 innings.
"That's the Japanese major league team, and it was good to stay close with them for a while," Greek coach Dusty Rhodes (U. of North Florida) said. "You have to have the horses to stay with them. Right now, I think they are the favorites to win the gold medal.
"I'm proud of how our guys played. Every game we hung in there and overall we did a good job. I think we accomplished our goal of introducing baseball to Greece."
But Japan scored four in the seventh off reliever Alex Cremidan (Diamondbacks) for a 6-0 lead. After Kazuhiro Wada led off with a single, Fukudome launched a two-run homer to right field. Yoshinobu Takahashi would add a two-run single later in the inning.
Naoyuki Shimiziu picked up his first win after going 6 1/3 innings and allowing one run on four hits. He also struck out nine. Japan had 13 hits on the game while Greece had just four.
"We played as hard as we could," Greek third baseman Vasili Spanos (Athletics) said. "But we lost our manager (Rob Derksen), three pitchers and two people to drug tests."
Japan went ahead 1-0 in the top of the second inning as Kenji Jojima led off the frame with a single and scored on a two-out double from Michihiro Ogasawara. They increased the lead in the sixth inning as Miyamoto scored on a two-out RBI single off the bat of Yoshitomo Tani.
Fukudome leads Japan in home runs and RBIs while hitting .333-3-9 in the tournament. Japan owns tournament-bests with a .329 average and 13 home runs. Miyamoto leads all individuals in hitting at .517.
Taiwan 5, Netherlands 1
Three pitchers combined to throw a one-hitter to help Taiwan finish the tournament with a 3-4 record. The Netherlands lost its last two games to finish 2-5, but neither team qualified for the medal round.
Taiwan starter Wei-Lun Pan earned his second win, going six innings and allowing one run on one hit with five strikeouts. Wei-Yin Chen pitched two innings and Chun-Chang Huang closed the game out in the ninth inning. Taiwan was led at bat by Wei-Chu Lin, who went 3-for-5, while Chin-Feng Chen (Dodgers) finished a solid tournament with a 3-for-4 effort.
The Dutch got their run on a solo homer by former big leaguer Eugene Kingsale (Orioles). Netherlands starting pitcher Patrick de Lange took the loss and was 1-1 in the tournament. He worked six innings and allowed three runs on eights hits.
Andrew Kitick, an assistant sports information director at the University of South Carolina, is serving as a media liaison for the International Baseball Federation at the 2004 Olympics and will provide reports from Athens throughout the tournament. Baseball Canada media liaison Matt Charbonneau also is contributing to BA's coverage.

Album Rating: 3.0I don't necessarily hate this album but I think it deserves a 2. From a subjective stand point it can be pretty fun at times.
Digging: Dyscarnate - With All Their Might
Album Rating: 2.5album sux watch my vocal cover of the first song on it
Album Rating: 3.0I bought this and only got through 4 tracks before I turned it off. It's probably because that million dollar recording sounds like complete garbage and most of the album is just really fast 1 note chugging with sweeping leads and pinch squeals over it. I honestly even find the shredding to be ineffective and boring. I can understand why people like this album but it does nothing for me, the songwriting is terrible imo.
Digging: Tetragrammacide - Primal Incinerators of Moral Matrix
Album Rating: 3.0^Agreed. I can completely understand why someone would like this. However it spits in the face of music integrity.
well written review mate, don't know if i can see all your points though. I didn't this album to be overall bad, but definitely not as polarising as some others see it
Correct me if I'm wrong but:
The production on this album is very slick and polished sounding, although [b]it is[b/] not as heavily produced as some similar acts such as Periphery[b]. Unfortunately[b/] the million dollar makeover actually proves to drag the album down.
No biggies, just helping out slightly. The actually and really kind of sound choppy when used so close together in one sentence. Love the metaphor usage.
definitely agree that parts of this are "awkward", and also agree that the production is sometimes strange, to the point of being a distraction. but there's still a lot of things about this that i love.
also there are like 2 or 3 filler tracks and they're all in the second half of the album.
Album Rating: 3.5Pos
Album Rating: 4.5I can totally see why others hate this but this album is fun as hell to me. My one gripe, which a lot of others seem to share, is the length. Most fans of their older stuff have said their albums were too short and I think they took it to heart with this release. They overdid the length and some of the songs come off as filler because of it. When your style is so precise and people know what to expect, it usually safer to come out with short releases. With short releases you can eliminate the filler and the listener only has to focus on your best songs instead of having to search through filler to find them. I still think this is a huge step forward, though. I mean, it was still technical and fun and the vocals have improved a lot from A Higher Place.
Album Rating: 3.0I don't get why people call this deathcore: it doesn't really have any conventional chugs, none of the 'surfy riffs' nor does it have a single death growl more like progressive metalcore.
Album Rating: 4.0genere = awesomecore
Album Rating: 3.0Their older stuff was more deathcore, so I guess it just stuck with them.
Album Rating: 3.5Eulogize how do you like Structures but not this o_O
Album Rating: 3.0Because Structures brings the junz, man. I love me some junz.
Album Rating: 4.5but they are disorganized and they rely on the junz a lot, Eulogize.
Album Rating: 2.5structures full length is so messy sounding i cant even listen to it
Album Rating: 4.5yeah I prefer their ep over the full length
Album Rating: 3.0and the cleans on their full length are beautiful
I don't agree with the score that was given. But, i enjoyed the review.

Two Radical Arab Terrorists boarded a flight out of London. One took a

Just before takeoff, a U.S. Marine sat down in the aisle seat.
After takeoff, the Marine kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was
settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, 'I need to get up and get
a coke.'
'Don't get up,' said the Marine, 'I'm in the aisle seat, 'I'll get it for

When the Marine returned with the coke, the other Arab said, 'That looks

While he was gone the other Arab picked up the Marines other shoe and spat
in it.. When the Marine returned, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight.
As the plane was landing, the Marine slipped his feet into his shoes and
knew immediately what had happened. He leaned over and asked his Arab
neighbors, 'Why does it have to be this way?'
'How long must this go on? This fighting between our nations? This hatred?
This animosity? This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes?'

Chris Mathews worked for Tip O'Neil who battled Reagan and lost for most of Reagans term in office. I suspect that Mathews was the guy setting up the strategy that always lost and Tip took it out on him. This created his animosity for anything conservative like a dog kicked every time he barked. He is a perfect fit of the MSBS network. He is a typical washing cocktail party liberal.

Almightyhans was probably directed inspired by this to create his own fake movie posters. Well, this wasn't a movie poster, but still. I do like how good the designs are in this. You really show some unique characters. I guess I'm not just not used to seeing parodies of comic book coversI like how you can see the little tears in this.
Well, maybe those are just wrinkles. Books get aged like that too! It really does seem like an authentic cover. I like how big the guns are. I'm fairly certain those are laser weapons.

Basically a suffix tree is a trie, but where any nodes with only one child are collapsed. Easy to construct through sorting, linear time is trickier, and perhaps the biggest problem is keeping memory use reasonable. Suffix arrays is a sorted array of indices, so it's more compact, but takes O(m log n) to search. There's also the enhanced suffix array, which provides the same functionality as the suffix tree, but uses approximately the same space as well (something like 12n bytes vs 5n bytes, IIRC). > Does anyone have any Haskell code implementing suffix trees? I'm particularly > interested in high-performance construction. I was using a suffix tree to index some data, but I discovered I only needed the tree to constant depth, so - shame on me - I ended up simply sorting the suffixes in one case, and storing hashed words in a Map in another. I've also toyed with FFI'ing to comressed suffix arrays, but in the end, this wasn't as successful as I'd hoped. For straightforward suffix array construction, this is probably the fastest way to go about it, though. Linear time suffix trees are a bit complicated to implement in a functional language, as they depend on additional links in the tree during construction. I'm sure this can be done using IO/STrefs, but it would of course be cooler if it could be done tying-the-knot style. Anyway, I have a handful of shaky FFI bindings, a reasonable bibtex file, and lots of good will and encouragement. Let me know if you have use for any of them! -k

When the Oklahoma City Thunder hit the court, they come dressed in some combination of blue and orange, the colors that Nike Basketball used to style the Away colorway of the KD VI that dropped in October. On Saturday, Nike is set to introduce a second Away colorway for Kevin Durant's KD VI.
This time Nike has chosen to give the sneaker a stylized take on the OKC Thunder team colors. In addition to the orange and blue, OKC also uses yellow and dark blue to create the team logo. Playing off the yellow, Nike Basketball has accented the KD VI with volt accents, paired with vivid blue accents on a black and dark grey base. Adding to the look is a geometric pattern that may reference Native American culture as Durant is among Nike's cultural ambassadors to the Native American community.
The kicks are launching on Saturday (11th of January) through shops that include Bern based Titolo. Stateside, you can find the sneaker, starting at 8AM EST/5AM PST through Nike.com.
In Europe, Nike.com will also carry the sneaker, starting at 8AM GMT/9AM CET.

Notes: Beltran's return imminent
Notes: Beltran's return imminent
Injured center fielder Carlos Beltran said he is certain he will play on Tuesday, despite not feeling sharp as late as Sunday morning.
"[On] Tuesday, I'm going to be able to be in the lineup, for sure," Beltran said. "[Monday]'s a day off, so it's going to be better for me."
Beltran said he felt about 70 percent on Sunday morning, three days after bruising his right knee in a collision with Giants first baseman Rich Aurilia. He was still walking with a slight limp, but has been taking anti-inflammatories to reduce the pain.
"When I run, I feel kind of a little bit of pain, but I believe it isn't going to get worse," Beltran said. "It isn't going to get better in two days, [not to] 100 percent, but if I can get to 80-85 percent, that's good for me."
Beltran had been batting .297 with eight home runs before the injury.
Decisions looming: With Beltran set to return on Tuesday and outfielder Moises Alou also hoping to play at some point during this week's Philadelphia series, the Mets should find plenty of relief coming their way.
But those returns also bring with them a new dilemma: Who, exactly, should be sent back down to Triple-A?
Beltran's return won't affect any of his 24 teammates, as the center fielder was never put on the disabled list. But Alou was, and so, too, was second baseman Jose Valentin, due back within the next week to 10 days. When that duo gets healthy, two current Mets will have their tickets punched back to New Orleans.
The leading candidate remains Carlos Gomez, whose blistering speed hasn't made up for his empty bat. Gomez's pinch-hit single on Saturday snapped an 0-for-18 skid, but that worked only to raise his average to .194.
"They're going to probably try to exploit his weaknesses," said Mets manager Willie Randolph. "He needs to do what he did last night, which is just shorten up his stroke a little bit and put the ball in play. He's 21 years old, and he's going to go through his ups and downs as a hitter."
Assuming Gomez goes down when Alou returns, there's still no certainty of who will make room for Valentin. Logic says it would be Ruben Gotay, the infielder who first came to Shea when Valentin got hurt.
But Gotay has been hot, providing big hits, like Saturday's three-run homer, for the Mets. Because of that, the team may be willing to carry four middle infielders, likely opting instead to demote the recently promoted Ben Johnson.
"He's shown that he wants to be a part of things," Randolph said of Gotay. "When we get down to the other guys coming back, we'll look at that. He's proven he can play up here."
Pedro primed: Pedro Martinez is set to throw off a mound for the first time on Tuesday, at the Mets Minor League complex in Port St. Lucie, Fla. That keeps him on schedule to return sometime in August.
"Everything with Pedro is all positive," Randolph said. "[It's] all good stuff I'm hearing about him."
Power outage: Although the first genuine HHH -- hazy, hot and humid -- stretch of the summer has yet to assault us, New York already has endured a brown-out -- in Queens, mostly. The Mets power has been cut.
The home runs Carlos Delgado and Ruben Gotay hit on Saturday in the Mets' 7-1 victory against the Diamondbacks were the team's 27th and 28th at Shea Stadium this season. At the rate the Mets have established thus far this season, they will hit just 78 home runs at home this year, 18 fewer than they hit in 2006.
Through 29 home games last season, the Mets had hit 38 home runs at Shea, including 13 combined by Delgado and David Wright. The two have combined for 16 home and away this season. The cold April seemingly wasn't an issue, because opposing teams hit home runs. Indeed, opponents had hit 36 at Shea through Saturday. Last year, the Mets allowed 82 home runs at Shea, 14 fewer than they hit.
Not that the power-down has affected the Mets' run production that much. They tallied 132 runs in their first 29 home games last year, and in their first 29 home games this season, the Mets scored 135 runs.
This date in Mets history -- June 4: The Mets scored an unearned run in the 15th inning to beat the Dodgers, 1-0, at Shea Stadium on this date in 1969. The Miracle Mets had a 9-5 record in 1-0 games. ... Jerry Koosman allowed five hits in a 1-0 victory against the Astros at Shea on June 4, 1975. The Mets split their two 1-0 games in '75. ... One day after he had gone berserk in the clubhouse following an 0-for-5 performance in which he left seven runners on base in a 2-1 home lose to the Cubs, Dave Kingman hit three home runs and drove in a club-record -- still standing -- eight runs in Los Angeles on this date in 1976. The Mets beat the Dodgers, 11-0, on a three-hitter by Tom Seaver.
A home run by Steve Yeager against Neil Allen in the seventh inning provided the decisive run in a 2-1 Mets loss to the Dodgers in LA on this date in 1983. The loss, Allen's seventh in nine decisions, moved the Mets closer to trading their closer. Eleven days later, Allen and Rick Ownbey were dealt to the Cardinals for Keith Hernandez.
After Dwight Gooden escaped bases-loaded, none-out jeopardy in the eighth inning, the Mets scored three times in the top of the ninth to beat Fernando Valenzuela and the Dodgers, 4-1, on June 4, 1985. The rally included Gooden's third single of the night. ... On this date in 1991, Hubie Brooks separated manager Bud Harrelson and David Cone, that night's pitcher, during a heated argument in the visitors' dugout in Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati. ... The eventual National League champion Mets were pounded, 15-5, by the Devil Rays on this date in 2000, one day after Al Leiter and three relievers beat the Rays in a 1-0 Mets victory.
Coming up: After an off-day on Monday, the Mets face their division rivals the Philadelphia Phillies in a three-game set. On Tuesday, Tom Glavine and Jamie Moyer reprise their confrontation of April 12, won by Glavine and lost by Moyer, in a 7:10 p.m. ET game at Shea Stadium.

ATHENS, Greece -- Not everyone who came to Greece wants to party from the start. Competition is looming, and about 1,000 of the 10,500 Olympic athletes in Athens skipped Friday night's opening ceremony.
A few big names were expected to be missing. Gold medal swimming favorites Michael Phelps of the United States and Ian Thorpe of Australia said earlier they planned to relax at the Olympic village.
Many athletes consider marching into the stadium a highlight of the Olympic experience, but those who passed felt it lacked something more important -- recovery time.
"You don't train four years to march in the parade. You train to be on the podium," said American air rifle competitor Emily Caruso of Fairfield, Conn. Her event will award the first medals of the Athens Olympics.
Nearly 200 athletes from Australia's 482-member team didn't march. That included most of the swimming, rowing and soccer teams and many track and field athletes and cyclists.
American beach volleyball player Holly McPeak, who marched at Sydney and Atlanta, sat this one out. The 441-member U.S. delegation for the Athens ceremony included 325 athletes, as well as coaches, athletic trainers, doctors and team officials.
Four more years?
She can't believe it, but Tara Cross-Battle is back for her fourth Summer Games. It's a USA Volleyball record for men and women.
The 35-year-old outside hitter isn't a starter anymore, but her experience is valuable on a team with six new Olympians.
"I just basically just kept coming back during the summers and my team pretty much wouldn't let me leave," said Cross-Battle, a native of Houston. "Every time I said, 'I'm leaving,' they said 'No, you can't.'"
All in the family
Canadian softball pitcher Lauren Bay isn't the first Olympian in her family, nor is she the first to excel on the diamond.
Bay's great uncle, Gerry Moro, competed in three Olympics in the pole vault. Her brother, Jason Bay, is a rookie left fielder with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Popularity contest
Who's the most popular American athlete at the Athens Games? Swimmer Amanda Beard, at least by one measure. According to usolympicteam.com, Beard's biography has been viewed by more users than any other American Olympian.
Beard won a gold medal and two silvers at the 1996 Atlanta Games and added a bronze in Sydney four years ago. She won last year's world title and holds the world record in the 200-meter breaststroke coming into the Athens Olympics.
Next on the list was gymnast Mohini Bhardwaj, followed by swimmer Michael Phelps, gymnast Carly Patterson and gymnast Courtney McCool.

Bboy Timothy is pretty crazy with his high flying style! Some of the places/things he jumps off/over is amazing.
His audition is a series of impressive moves, but in terms of dancing? I'm not so sure.
Nigel thinks he's stunning in his style but unsure if he can pick up choreography. Toni likes his character. Tys likes his strength/muscle. Yes to choreography. (Toni did say no.)
San Fransisco started good, but after the break it's a "hot cup of vomit" as Tys puts it.

Capitol Weekly brought something interesting to our attention today: Attorney General Jerry Brown is California's acting governor this week. An unusual set of circumstances made it so.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is in Washington, D.C. this week. That normally means the lieutenant governor takes over, but California doesn't have one of those right now.
John Garamendi resigned from the post when he took over Rep. Ellen Tauscher's seat in Congress. Schwarzenegger has appointed Sen. Abel Maldonado to take over, but he has not been confirmed just yet. That should mean the title of governor would fall to the heads of the state senate or house, but those two leaders are with the governor in D.C.
Believe it or not, one more domino had to fall in order to give Brown the temporary top title. Secretary of State Debra Bowen would be next, but she is out of the state on a family matter
So, it falls to Jerry Brown.
No big deal for Brown. He's been governor before. And although he hasn't officially declared, it's all but assumed he's running again this year to take over the state for real. But Wednesday's development means he will have the reigns of the state during a statewide rain storm.
Arnold and the rest of the gang will be back on duty Thursday night.

OnOpenFileC event/delegate/callback
This callback is called when the OS receives file or directory opening request.
property OnOpenFileC : TCBFSFltOpenFileEventC;
TCBFSFltOpenFileEventC = procedure(Sender : TObject; FileName: TCBString; var DesiredAccess: DWORD; var FileAttributes: DWORD; var ShareMode: WORD; var Options : DWORD; var CreateDisposition: WORD; var VirtualFile: boolean; var ProcessRequest: boolean) of object;
type TCBString = {$ifdef UNICODE}UnicodeString{$else}WideString{$endif};
[C++ (Lib)]
typedef void (*CBFSFltOpenFileEventC)(CBFSFilter* Sender, LPWSTR FileName, DWORD* DesiredAccess, DWORD* FileAttributes, WORD* ShareMode, DWORD* Options, WORD* CreateDisposition, LPBOOL VirtualFile, LPBOOL ProcessRequest);
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TCBFSFltOpenFileEventC)(System::TObject* Sender, TCBString FileName, unsigned long& DesiredAccess, unsigned long& FileAttributes, unsigned short& ShareMode, unsigned long& Options, unsigned short& CreateDisposition, bool &VirtualFile, bool &ProcessRequest);
public delegate void CBFSFltOpenFileEventC(CBFSFilter^ Sender, String^ FileName, UInt32% DesiredAccess, UInt32% FileAttributes, UInt16% ShareMode, UInt32% Options, UInt16% CreateDisposition, bool% VirtualFile, bool% ProcessRequest);
delegate void CBFSFltOpenFileEventC(CBFSFilter Sender, string FileName, ref UInt32 DesiredAccess, ref UInt32 FileAttributes, ref UInt16 ShareMode, ref UInt32 Options, ref UInt16 CreateDisposition, ref bool VirtualFile, ref bool ProcessRequest);
Delegate Sub CBFSFltOpenFileEventC(ByVal Sender As CBFSFilter, ByVal FileName As String, ByRef DesiredAccess As UInt32, ByRef FileAttributes As UInt32, ByRef ShareMode As UInt16, ByRef Options As UInt32, ByRef CreateDisposition As UInt16, ByRef VirtualFile As Boolean, ByRef ProcessRequest As Boolean)
This callback is called when the OS wants to open a file or directory with given name and attributes.
DesiredAccess, FileAttributes, ShareMode, Options and CreateDisposition are passed as they were specified in the call to CreateFile() Windows API function. For more details check MSDN library shipped with your development tool and also available online.
To check, whether it's file or directory that should be opened, check FileAttributes as follows (C++ / C# notation):
Directory = FileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY == FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY;
This callback is called before the file has been opened. It can happen that the file will not be opened by the underlying file system. If you want to be notified when the file is already opened, use OnPostOpenFileC event.
If your application initiates file create/open operation AND filters such requests at the same time (eg. for debugging or testing purposes), you need to set OwnProcessFiltered property to true.
Setting ProcessRequest parameter to false has the same effect as throwing an exception with the error code of ACCESS_DENIED. When ProcessRequest is set to false, the opening operation fails and the error is returned to the OS.
VirtualFile parameter is in/out. It can be set to true when the callback / event handler is called, if CBFS Filter already knows that the file is virtual (the file has been opened as virtual already).
Read more about when exactly On*CreateFile* and On*OpenFile* callbacks are called.
Set VirtualFile parameter to true if the file to be created is virtual (and doesn't exist on the disk or should not be used from the disk). If the file is already known to be virtual, VirtualFile parameter can be set to true when the callback / event handler is called. For description of virtual file support, read Virtual Files topic.
See Error handling topic for detailed information about how to report errors, which occur in the event handlers, back to CBFS Filter.

ATLANTA — A vicious attack on a female jogger is fueling discussion of safety on the nation's longest paved trail, which stretches more than 90 miles from Atlanta's northwest suburbs to Anniston, Ala.
Along the Georgia section of the path, known as the Silver Comet Trail, police say the 42-year-old woman was lapsing in and out of consciousness when she was found by a passing bicyclist in the early evening Tuesday. No arrests have been made.
Last week's attack happened not far from the spot where bicyclist Jennifer Ewing of Sandy Springs was ambushed during a bike ride along the trail in summer 2006. Michael Ledford was convicted of murdering her and is now on Georgia's death row.
"Anything they do out there would be better than nothing," said Ewing's sister, Paige Slocumb of Macon.
The Silver Comet passes through remote areas of the Georgia countryside, and a Web site for trail visitors warns that cellphone coverage is spotty in some areas.
"My sister was at Mile Marker 17 and there's not a thing out there," Slocumb said.
"Emergency 911 call boxes would probably be a real good idea," she said. "They have those all over college campuses. Out in the less populated areas, it would be good to have a lifeline if your phone isn't working."
Unlike Atlanta's BeltLine trail, which includes a network of security cameras, there are no cameras on vast sections of the Silver Comet Trail as it crosses through Cobb, Paulding and Polk counties.
In Paulding County, the site of last week's attack and the 2006 slaying, there are cameras at a couple of the trailheads, said Michael Justice, the director the Paulding County Parks and Recreation Department.
Detectives are reviewing footage from those cameras as part of their investigation into last week's attack, Paulding County sheriff's Cpl. Ashley Henson said. Officials now plan to consider whether additional cameras are needed, Paulding County Commission Chairman David Austin said.
An estimated 2 million visitors use the 61.5-mile Silver Comet Trail in Georgia each year, said Ed McBrayer, the executive director of the PATH Foundation that helps develop it. At the Alabama state line, the path becomes known as the Chief Ladiga Trail and extends another 33 miles to Anniston.
"I don't know how you can necessarily keep everybody safe by installing cameras all over the world, including the Silver Comet Trail. I'm not sure that's the answer," McBrayer said.
After Ewing was killed, her family began a nonprofit, Safe Alone Inc., and Slocumb has taught self-defense courses for women across Georgia. She encourages people on the trail to run with a partner.
Another key point about safety is that "something is better than nothing," she said.
"At the very least, pepper spray is a really good idea," she said. "Carrying a stick is better than running with nothing but your iPod."

Judging by his travel schedule, Idaho Gov. Butch Otter doesn't appear much concerned about a possible primary challenge from Senate Republican Caucus Chairman Russ Fulcher.
According to Otter's official schedule released Friday, he leaves Nov. 15 for a nine-day schlep to Mother Russia.
It's not clear whether he'll meet spymaster President Vladimir Putin or NSA leaker Edward Snowden, but the mission will make stops in Moscow and St. Petersburg — or Leningrad, as it was known during its run as the cultural gem of the Evil Empire. Now, the Idaho Department of Commerce touts Russia as world's 11th-largest economy and for having the largest per capita GDP of the "BRIC Countries," Brazil, Russia, India and China.
In 2010, Otter led a trade mission to China, the former Red Menace that's now the world's second-largest economy. That trip came after Otter won 55 percent of the vote in a six-way primary. After his return, he won the general election with 59 percent. But the visit helped feed conspiracy theories among some conservatives that the Chinese would establish a sovereign beachhead in Idaho.
In his first year as governor in 2007, Otter went to Cuba on a trade mission. That followed up visits to the Communist relic he made as a member of Congress in 2003 and 2004. Otter's February 2004 visit included then-Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, and a meeting with Father of the Revolution Fidel Castro. Earlier this year, Otter visited Vietnam, the country where 58,000 Americans died trying to stop the Communist dominoes, but balanced the trip with stops in capitalist havens South Korea and Taiwan.
I asked Otter's office and his campaign whether the governor has any concerns that GOP primary voters may look askance at a leader so comfortable with the former pillars of world communism.
I received a response this afternoon from Megan Ronk, chief administrative officer of the Department of Commerce. Her statement follows:
"It's important to note that it is Idaho companies that drive the locations for these trade missions. The Departments of Commerce and Agriculture collectively survey Idaho businesses to solicit their input into international locations where they believe they have the greatest opportunities for sales and where a visit from the Governor would have an impact in securing relationships and/or opening any barriers to trade. We respond to the needs of business, and the Governor has been a tremendous advocate for Idaho companies seeking new markets for growth.
"The Governor's visits to Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam and Russia this year – in addition to other trade missions conducted throughout the Governor's tenure – are reflective of our desire to support the needs of our Idaho companies in helping them achieve success both domestically and internationally. Enhancing export opportunities was one of the strategies for achieving the Governor's Project 60 goals – and 2012 was a record-breaking year for exports with global sales of Idaho products hitting more than $6.1 billion.
"The Russia mission will include stops in both Moscow and St. Petersburg. The Governor will be traveling with 17 Commerce and Agriculture companies representing a variety of industries. Again, based on the demands of companies this mission filled up faster than any other in recent history – in fact, we had to turn companies away due to being oversubscribed which is a testament to the value companies see in having the Governor support their efforts to explore foreign opportunities."
I've also asked Fulcher's campaign whether he'll make hay over Otter's travels. An update will follow, if warranted.
NOTE TO DENNIS RODMAN: If Otter's re-elected — or not — you might just want to invite the Spud Guv on your next jaunt to North Korea.

Just A Smile - Poem by Buyunde Acura Sylivester
Thousands of happiness can't,
Remove one pain in heart,
But one pain can remove,
Thousand of happiness in heart,
So, Live within the acceptable fringes,
And turn your door By the fix of you hinges,
When looking for happiness,
Never just look upon laughter,
Expect painful tears too!
That single minute,
Out of thousands of hours,
That you had spend building,
Rome towers of happiness,
Might raze to ashes,
When a minute stone slides,
Down the slope in pain!
Just consider a smile,
As a curve that,
Rubs away wrinkles,
And sets them straight,
When not in use!
Remember the unfair world:
The obvious make us laugh,
The special make us cry,
Yet we have to consider the special!
Before we die alone;
We are born alone,
We live sole.,
By only our love and friendship,
Do we create an illusion,
That we ain't alone,
So, we end up living in joy!
Just consider a smile,
As a curve of lips,
That sandwich a message,
Of ' I like that! '
Can you like this?
You can't count,
Your hair!
You can't see,
While eyes closed!
You can't breathe,
When your tongue is out!
Oh no!
Please put your tongue inside!
If you've just smiled!
That's the far you can do,
To claim that you're happy,
Believe this;
Just smile, and chill off.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The whole "bring Tebow to Jacksonville" campaign has reached a new level. Well-known Orlando attorney John Morgan is again lobbying "for the people."
He's recorded a video trying to convince Jaguars owner Shad Khan to sign the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback.
In the minute-long video, Morgan explains all the reasons the Jags should pick Tebow up. He highlights Tebow's accomplishments and even makes a promise to Khan.
John Morgan says he's for the people and he's also for Tebow, who was recently waived by the New York Jets.
"I'm John Morgan, of Morgan and Morgan, and I want to talk Tim Tebow for one minute," said Morgan in his recently posted YouTube video.
"The Jaguars are 27-42 in the last 5 years. One of the worst records in NFL history and more in store for this year. We can't even fill an entire end zone," said Morgan in the video.
From pointing out that Tebow won two national championships, to the fact that he helped lead the Denver Broncos to the playoffs two years ago; Morgan does everything he can to convince Khan to bring Tebow home to Jacksonville.
"Tebow is one of us, he has class character and he's a winner. Let's win, Mr. Khan. Once upon a time, so-called experts probably doubted your potential and now look at you. Give our guy a shot. I'll even buy that box you tried to sell me," said Morgan.
"Let's do this, Mr. Khan, for the people. Let's win," said Morgan.
This is just the latest attempt of people trying to get the jags to sign Tebow. Last week, fans created a petition for the White House website trying to get President Barack Obama involved.

Family believes teen's murder linked to earlier shooting
January 17, 2013 at 11:47 am | Mobile Reader | Print
It was the second murder of a teen in the neighborhood in the last seven months. Family members of the most recent victim believe the crimes are connected.
St. Charles Parish Sheriff Greg Champagne said Michael McCray Jr., 18, was parked in a car with Leslie Reed, 19, in a driveway at 644 Mockingbird Lane in St. Rose at around 10:30 p.m. when three suspects approached the vehicle and one opened fire on the car.
The two victims were allegedly smoking marijuana in the car parked in Reeds uncles driveway at the time of the shooting.
According to Champagne, the suspects were dressed in black and wearing hoods. After seeing the men approach, Champagne said McCray put the vehicle in reverse and tried to flee the scene, but was only able to move a few feet before being stopped by gunfire.
McCrays grandmother, Bobbie McCray, said shortly after the shooting a neighbor knocked on her door, which is only a few houses down from the scene of the crime, and told her what happened. She immediately went to the crime scene.
"After the shooting I could see his car was in front on a slant on the Reed driveway," she said. "The way his car was parked, it was like he tried to back out."
Bobbie said she was told by the St. Charles Parish Sheriffs Office that 17 shots were fired into the vehicle and her grandson was struck four times. She said the fatal bullet entered into his back, passed through his lungs, damaged his heart and that he died from asphyxiation due to blood filling up in his lungs.
Reed, who was sitting in the passengers side of the vehicle, where Bobbie said the shots entered the car, was uninjured in the shooting.
She said her grandson, who she raised since he was five years old, was not a troublemaker and she thinks the shooters were trying to kill Reed instead.
"I know the guy that was in the car with him," she said. "They say that he was involved in a murder around the corner and it was retaliation."
Reed and Keywine Bradford, 16, were arrested in connection with the May 2012 shooting death of former DHS graduate Jared Mealey a block away on Turtle Creek Lane. Citing lack of evidence in the case, the St. Charles Parish District Attorneys Office refused charges against Reed and released him from parish custody in late October.
Bradford is still being held for the Mealey murder due to a statement he made to the Sheriffs Office putting himself at the scene of the crime, but insisting Reed was the shooter.
Michaels uncle, Darrick McCray, said he was in a movie theater at the time of the shooting.
"Somebody tapped me on the shoulder and said, Hey, come with me. When I got outside they told me that my nephew got shot," he said. "I knew he was by the Reed boy so I know Reed was possibly the target."
He said after getting the news he immediately got in his car, sped towards the scene and came upon the ambulance carrying his nephew on I-310. However, Michael was already dead by the time they made it to the hospital.
Darrick said he warned his nephew about being seen in the neighborhood with Reed.
"I told him, Son, right now I know that is your friend and everything, but it is not a good look if you are hanging with him," he said.
Shortly after the murder, Darrick began receiving information about the shooting from local residents.
"Everybody is saying the same thing. Ive already had 50 to 60 people come over and tell me the same names. The names came ringing through that night," he said.
He said that in the first hand accounts relayed to him about the shooting, the attackers didnt panic following the murder.
"The guys walked - they didnt run. They walked out right here, jumped over the fence and went on home," he said.
Although eyewitnesses to the crime have come forward to him, as well as those who said they only heard about the shooting plot, Darrick does not know if those same people would be willing to give testimony on the shooting.
"Why would anybody who knows these people, that has seen these people, testify in a case thats not strong enough?" he said. "Then they put themselves in jeopardy. They are scared, of course they are scared."
On the other hand, he said he has been in contact with those who have been fingered in the shooting and said that they are scared as well.
"One of the suspects is so scared that they say his mom is sleeping with a gun on her side because they think I will retaliate," Darrick said. "I am a community man. I dont believe in a bullet for a bullet. I believe in justice."
He said retaliation was what got his nephew killed and that it should not have happened.
"Michael basically got caught up," Darrick said. "He was a good kid. I raised him and Im not going to sit up here and sugarcoat him – if he was bad, then I would say he was bad – but he wasnt that type of person."
Darrick said he knows that the bullets were not meant for his nephew and that it would not do any good to personally go after those he has been told are responsible for the shooting.
"This has got to stop," he said. "Weve got to be smarter than this."
Darrick said his relationship with his nephew was more of a fatherly one after his brother, Michael McCray Sr., died from pneumonia when Michael was only five years old. His nephew had recently been working for him as a truck driver and was scheduled to begin a degree program in Culinary Arts at Baton Rouge Community College a few days after the shooting occurred.
Bobbie said her grandson had moved to Baton Rouge in August to enroll at the college, but had missed the enrollment deadline and was working as a short order cook at the Fat Cow restaurant in Baton Rouge in the meantime. She said he was let go from the position when he returned home after his great-grandmother, Juanita Tyler, passed away.
"He just got stuck here. He was down here with the family until it was time to go back," she said. "He had been down here since his great-grandmother died."
Next door neighbor Patricia Watson, a local school bus driver, said Michael grew up with her 17-year-old son.
"Michael spent time at my house when he was little," Watson said. "Its very devastating. It is very devastating because its like my kid is gone and that boy never ever said a bad word."
Watson said in addition to their personal relationship, Michael rode her bus during his last year of school. She said she once took a tour of the St. Charles Parish Public Schools Satellite Center, where Michael took a specialized program in culinary arts.
"We went over there for a tour and he had sautéed some shrimp and it was really good. He was in the kitchen and he was whipping it up and you could tell that he enjoyed what he did," Watson said. "He would come on the bus and tell me what he made that day and I would say, Michael, you are just going to get fat because all you talk about is what you cook. He said, You know why I like culinary arts? Because I love to eat! He was a sweet boy, just a sweet boy."
She said it is disheartening that someone like Michael would be murdered and that it makes her fear for her sons life.
"These innocent kids are getting killed for what? Michael is not dealing drugs, Michael is going to college. The boy wanted to cook. He was going to culinary school," Watson said. "Why are they killing the kids that are trying to do something with their life? But these other ones on the corner with their pants hanging down slinging dope, nothing is happening to them, but the good kids are getting killed. Whos next?"
Bobbie said her grandson wanted a simple life and that he expressed his future goals in a text message to his roommate in Baton Rouge.
"Michael had texted him about being a family person. He wanted a family, he wanted a wife, he wanted children. He wanted to be there for his children because his father wasnt there for him because his father passed away," she said. "It touched me that this guy read this text and he said that every time he read it it is bothering him because he loved Michael so much."
Capt. Pat Yoes, a spokesman for the Sheriffs Office, said they are currently investigating the murder, but no one has yet been arrested for the crime. However, Reed is currently being held for possession of marijuana after admitting to smoking marijuana in the car at the time of the shooting.
Yoes said the Sheriffs Office is actively investigating leads, including several names provided by the victims family.
Anyone who has any information regarding this incident is asked to contact Det. Jody Fahrig with the St. Charles Parish Sheriffs Office at (985) 783-1135 or (985) 783-6807. They can also contact Crime Stoppers toll free at (877) 903-STOP. Citizens are not required to give their name or testify and could receive up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest.
In addition to the award offered by Crime Stoppers, Darrick is personally offering a $100,000 reward for the capture and conviction of those responsible for his nephews death.

School board member questions letter grading of public schools, but not charter schools - 2203 views
While public schools are subject to performance review and letter grades each year by the Louisiana Education Department, the same is not true for all charter schools and at least one St. Charles Parish school board member believes it's well past time for that to change.

Whether you've been acting for years or you have just booked your first gig, an actor's day on set can be absolutely thrilling. But do you know how act when you're not acting? That's when it's you (and not your character) that people are going to be watching. And that's why it's so important to have appropriate manners on set.
1. Be on time. You will most likely receive your call sheet the evening before your shoot. Allow enough time for traffic, so you can avoid stress upon arrival to set. This is a job; professionals show up on time.
2. Follow instruction. This goes all the way from designated actor parking, signing in, to going to your honeywagon. If you're going to be leaving your trailer at any time (for instance, to visit craft services or use a restroom outside of your trailer), tell a crew member. When you are called to set, go right away.
3. Be a civilized eater. You know the basics. Chew with your mouth closed, eat moderate portions, bring your food up to your mouth…and if you're in costume, make sure you either protect it with napkins or, if you have enough time (and approval from the wardrobe department), change back into your day clothes to eat. It's important to keep stains away!
4. Have two-sided conversations. It's a habit for actors to talk all about their latest projects—and that's OK! But make sure the conversation isn't one-sided. Whether you're talking with another actor or a crew member, be extra nice to all and show that you are interested in them by being a good listener.
5. Stay positive. Complaining on set can be toxic for actors. In order to uphold your outstanding reputation, it is of great importance to have an attitude of gratitude! Please and thank you go a long way, too. When you're grateful, people notice. Being grateful, you recognize that you are a part of a project bigger than yourself—and you will be remembered fondly and have a wonderful experience.
Your acting career is blossoming! And now, your reputation of being a professional, grateful actor can as well. Enjoy!

Sagittarius The Archer (Nov. 22-Dec. 20)
Your personal identity is the subject under consideration. Who are you becoming and who do you need to be? How do you wish to define yourself before the world? How can you develop an individual identity that is workable while simultaneously maintaining a personally rewarding relationship?
For All Signs: Eclipses always occur in pairs. On Nov. 13 we experienced a Solar Eclipse in Scorpio. This week on Nov. 29 we will have a total partial lunar eclipse in the sign of Gemini at 1:31 a.m. It should be visible in the morning hours in this country for those with clear weather. A lunar eclipse is essentially a strongly punctuated full moon. All those activities normally related to the full moons, such as increased traffic and potential for accidents, general hyperactivity, etc., are double accented. This eclipse is in the sign of Gemini. The emphasis is on illuminating the public with facts previously unknown or only guessed by a few observers.
Aries: Legal, ethical or educational issues are emphasized. Travel is punctuated, whether it be of body, mind or spirit. Exposure to those of different backgrounds or cultures opens your heart and leads you in new directions. A household move may be on the way or may be just completed.
Taurus: The eclipse pattern emphasizes issues of sexuality, intimacy and material accumulation. Your attitudes in these areas need renewal. Reorganization of debt and investments may be in progress.
Gemini: What is your pattern in Significant Relationships? What needs to be repaired or improved? How might you contribute to a fuller, richer life for yourself as well as the important persons in your life? It is crucial to search out solutions that favor everyone concerned. Recapitulation of old habits will simply regenerate trauma.
Cancer: It is important to concentrate on work-related relationships and health maintenance. Diet, exercise and improvement of physical regimen will serve you well. Honing your management systems in personal and work arenas is necessary to improve the efficiency of the daily work routine.
Leo: The eclipse season is bringing things to a conclusion concerning your community networking and development of friendships. Certainly, you will continue to have the friends you have chosen to keep. But now it may be time to let go of the extras, some of the less meaningful relationships.
Virgo: Matters concerning your family are accented. Old problems in relationships, even with the deceased, are brought to consciousness for cleansing and healing. Property and real estate matters require concentration. Bringing career into alignment with your true self is an important focus.
Libra: The accent of this eclipse period is on travel, education, care of vehicles and relationships to those who daily traverse your life. Lifelong habit patterns of thought must be reviewed and negative thinking corrected, habits of speech and communication improved.
Scorpio: This eclipse series accents personal and financial resources. Greater understanding is developing related to expenditures of time, energy and money. Debts need to be repaid. You need to eliminate or recycle whatever is no longer useful in your life.
Capricorn: This eclipse emphasizes your need for internal order and self-reflection. Consider hypnosis or meditation, psychotherapy, dream work or journaling as resources to help you contemplate. Solitude can be healing now. Streamlining daily routines and exercising your body will help you preserve energy for thought.
Aquarius: Involvement in your community, networking, and developing friendships has occupied a center role in your life at this time. You have lessons to learn about discerning who is truly a friend. Those with children must concentrate on fostering those relationships.
Pisces: There has been emphasis on career, life goals and community reputation. Honors may have occurred during this period if you have previously built a solid foundation. Family members plead for more attention in subtle and overt ways. Family patterns are changing. You may experience a sense of loss, but renewal occurs in its wake.

Lindsay Lohan packs for rehab: 270 outfits for 90 days
Lindsay Lohan wants to dress to impress when she begins her court-ordered 90-day rehab stint on May 2. The 26-year-old actress shared a picture of her messy apartment via Instagram on April 30, which featured several piles of clothes, suitcases and shoes strewn about her pad.
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan's mug shot history
"90 days and 270 looks," Lohan wrote in the caption. The "Herbie: Fully Loaded" actress received dozens of messages of support from her followers. "Take a bunch of sweats and comfy clothes! You will be fine," one wrote. Said another, "Fashion never takes a break. Good luck, love. We're rooting for you."
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan's courtroom couture
Lohan also joked about being engaged to Nico Tortorella of "The Following." "My first proposal," she wrote in a second Instagram caption. The image features Tortorella, 24, on bended knee placing a ring on Lohan's right hand; several empty beer cans are seen on a nearby table. (Tortorella has been dating Pilates instructor Bethany Meyers on-and-off for seven years.)
In mid-March, Lohan pleaded no contest to lying to police and reckless driving. The charges stemmed from a June 2012 car crash in Santa Monica, Calif. As part of her plea deal, the famous redhead was sentenced to a spend 90 days in a locked-down rehab facility. (No official word yet on where Lohan will be staying.) Additionally, she must receive psychological counseling and complete 30 days of community labor. Lohan was also forced to pay a $240 restitution fine and $30 criminal conviction assessment fee, in addition to paying restitution to the victim. That amount will be determined at her next court hearing on May 2, the same day she enters treatment.
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan's biggest mistakes
Lohan, who's spent a combined total of 203 days in rehab since her first stint in 2007, recently said she's looking forward to atoning for her past. "I think this is an opportunity for me to focus on what I love in life. And I don't think it's a bad thing," the "Scary Movie 5" actress said on "The Late Show With David Letterman." "I think it's a blessing."

Ericsson has unveiled a new service that it thinks will help stop credit card fraud.
Banks are increasingly blocking credit card transactions in certain high-risk countries due to increasingly levels of fraud. A business traveler who lives in the UK but goes to Russia can likely have a transaction rejected if the person hasn't informed the credit card company of their travel plans.
However, Ericsson believes its IPX Country Lookup service could be the answer. It uses a mobile phone to provide a confirmation that the person is actually in the country where the transaction is carried out, said Peter Garside, UK and Ireland regional manager for Ericsson's IPX products.
For the service to work, Ericsson's technology must be installed on a mobile operator's network. Once installed, Ericsson will pay the operator a 'small fee' every time a bank wants to verify a certain transaction by one of their customer's mobile phones, Garside said. Ericsson will then put a margin on the lookup fee and charge that to banks, he said. The lookup fee has yet to be set.
Garside said that Ericsson has figured out how to extract the location information from operators worldwide. The technology only identifies what country a person is in and not where they exactly are in that country. It only works for GSM networks.
To allay privacy concerns, Ericsson is recommending that the banks should get consumers' consent prior to using the transaction verification service. Once a person's approximate location has been passed onto the banks, that data will not be held any longer, Garside said.
The service will work even if someone's phone is off, but as long as they've turned the phone on at least once when they're in a new country.
Mobile phones will register with the local operator when turned on in a different country, so Ericsson will be able to query the last known location.
The service comes out of Ericsson's IPX product line, which enables third parties to bill for ring tones or other content via mobile networks.
Garside said operators won't incur any costs to integrate the service into their networks and can make money from the location information they hold. "The operators are sitting on some valuable assets," Garside said.
Banks will be able to set their own policies around the lookup service. For example, a bank may decide it only wants to pay a lookup fee for card transactions that occur in Romania and a few other countries.
Bank customers would likely agree to opt-in to the service, especially it reduces the frequency with which overseas card transactions are denied, said Peter Welch, an independent banking analyst who was briefed by Ericsson.
"I would think there is enormous potential for it," Welch added.
