Fresh from a budget fight so raw that the Republican speaker of the U.S. House cursed the Democratic leader of the Senate outside the Oval Office, President Barack Obama and Congress are heading for an even bigger confrontation over raising the nation's debt limit.
U.S. Treasury bond investors -- who most directly bear the risk of a government default -- aren't alarmed. In a sign of the disconnect between Washington and Wall Street, investors remain confident the two sides will compromise rather than inflict what Obama called "catastrophic" consequences. Yields on long-term U.S. debt are near record lows.
"It's ugly in Washington, and getting uglier," said Matthew Duch, a fund manager in Bethesda, Maryland, for Calvert Investments, which oversees more than $12 billion in assets. "But that is just resulting in even lower rates as the market is much more concerned about growth than if the U.S. will be able to pay their bills."
That hasn't stopped Republicans and the president from moving toward a clash, with House leaders vowing to exact deep spending cuts in exchange for raising the borrowing ceiling and Obama saying he won't negotiate on the debt. The U.S. Treasury is bumping up against its legal borrowing limit.
"Heretofore, they've been playing with a cherry bomb in economic terms," said Steve Bell, a former Republican Senate budget aide. "When they start playing with the debt ceiling in February, they are starting to play with C-4," he said, referring to the powerful plastic explosive material.
Investors Unrattled
When partisan gridlock last brought the government to the brink of default in August 2011, the stock market fell and Standard & Poor's cut the nation's credit rating. After House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, withdrew from negotiations on July 22, 2011, the S&P 500 Stock Index fell more than 16 percent in the next 11 trading days.
Bond investors were unrattled. Yields on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes declined from 2.96 percent on July 22 to 2.56 percent on Aug. 5, 2011, the day of the S&P downgrade. Yields continued to drop, reaching 1.72 percent on Sept. 22 of that year.
Ten-year note yields rose two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 1.93 percent at 10:11 a.m. New York time, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data, after the Labor Department reported the U.S. added 155,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate held at 7.8 percent.
"The market is not worried about default," said Zach Pandl, an interest-rate strategist in Minneapolis at Columbia Management Investment Advisers LLC, which oversees $340 billion.
"In the U.S., the debt level is lower than comparable countries, growth is higher and we have a unblemished track record in the U.S. of debt repayment, all of which has helped calm investor concerns," he said. "The process is messy, but the outcome is always acceptable."

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Police and protesters clashed for the second day Wednesday after the conviction of a powerful politician in connection with killings during the country's 1971 independence war. More than two dozen small homemade bombs also exploded in the country's north, but there were no reports of injuries.
Local news reports said at least 10 people were hurt Wednesday in clashes outside Dhaka, a day after the latest verdict was announced in a series of controversial war crimes trials. Street battles across the country Tuesday killed as many as four people and injured dozens more.
The clashes came after Bangladesh's largest Islamic party, Jamaat-e-Islami, ordered a nationwide general strike, shutting down schools and shops, to protest the conviction and life sentence given its leader, Abdul Quader Mollah.
Opposition politicians and human rights organizations have questioned the fairness of the trials into the 40-year-old violence.
Because of the strike, traffic was thin Wednesday on Dhaka's usually clogged streets and schools and most businesses were closed in major cities and towns across the country.
Despite tight security in the capital, with security forces patrolling the streets, television footage showed protesters throwing stones at police. A local news agency, bdnews24.com, reported that police fired rubber bullets and teargas to disperse protesters in Narayanganj district near Dhaka, leaving at least 10 people injured.
Local media also reported that at least 25 homemade bombs exploded Wednesday in the northeastern district of Sylhet, but there were no reports of injuries or damage.
Up to four people reportedly died Tuesday in clashes between police and party activists in Chittagong, 135 miles (215 kilometers) southeast of Dhaka.
On Tuesday, Mollah was convicted of killing a student and a family of 11 and of aiding Pakistani troops in killing 369 other people. Defense lawyer Abdur Razzaq said he will appeal the verdict.
Opposition leaders have criticized the war crimes trials as an effort to weaken challengers to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government. Human rights groups have raised concerns about the trials' fairness.
Mollah and five other Jamaat leaders have been charged with committing atrocities during the country's nine-month independence war against Pakistan. Last month, the tribunal hearing the cases sentenced former party member Abul Kalam Azad to death in the first verdict.
The tribunal was formed by Hasina's government in 2010. Jamaat-e-Islami, a key ally of opposition leader Khaleda Zia, says the trials are politically motivated, and Zia, a former prime minister, has called the tribunal a farce. Authorities deny the claims.
International human rights groups have raised questions about the conduct of the tribunals, including the disappearance — outside the courthouse gates — of a defense witness who was about to testify.
Until it gained independence in 1971, Bangladesh was part of Pakistan, but was geographically separate from the rest of the country. Jamaat campaigned against Bangladesh's independence war and has been accused of forming several groups to help Pakistani troops in killing, rape and arson. The government says Pakistani troops, aided by local collaborators, killed 3 million people and raped 200,000 women.

The ethics of the Chinese food industry are again in the spotlight with news that most of the shark fins used in one of the nation's most famous dishes are in fact fake, and poisonous as well.
According to reports from Xinhua, authorities in Zhejiang province conducted tests on shark fins circulating there.
They announced that of 82 sampled "shark fins," 79 were actually just hardened lumps of gelatin.
Even industry sources were quoted as admitting that "40% of the shark fins being sold in China are fake."
Scientific tests easily reveal fake fins, which contain no shark DNA, lack the structure of real shark fins, and dissolve to nothing rapidly in hot water.
Most are apparently made domestically in Guangzhou and have been found to contain carcinogenic chemicals as well.
Shark fins are a popular and expensive ingredient in Chinese cuisine, but it is not hard to see why there are so many fakes circulating – one paper reported that fake fins were being supplied to restaurants for a few tens of yuan for a kilo, whilst patrons were paying 500-1000 yuan a serving.
Japanese were also quick to notice many of the fins even go so far as to masquerade as being Japanese, bearing the "Asahi" brand:
The findings may yet be welcomed by some – with China the main market for shark fins, the propensity of Chinese merchants to ruthlessly dupe their countrymen in a variety of deadly and disgusting ways may be the only thing protecting sharks from losing their fins in even greater numbers.

The Canadian dollar fell against most of its major peers as government officials in Russia and Japan criticized monetary policies that have devalued major currencies in an attempt to spark economic growth.
It dropped the most in a week against its U.S. counterpart as a Russian central bank official warned the world is on the brink of a "currency war" after the Japanese economy minister said yesterday currency weakness sparked by central-bank policy could hurt consumers. Stocks declined while a government report showed inflation in the U.S. was unchanged last month.
"The Canadian dollar would naturally perform better when there is a move toward risky assets," said Jane Foley, senior currency strategist at Rabobank International, by phone from London. "This liquidity provided by central banks has pushed people into taking very complacent attitudes about the position of the world, and I think what we've seen in the last day or two is the market may be stopping for breath."
The Canadian dollar, known as the loonie for the image of the waterfowl on the C$1 coin, declined 0.1% to 98.56 cents per U.S. dollar at 10:41 a.m. in Toronto. One loonie buys $1.0146.
Oil, Stocks
Futures on crude oil, Canada's largest export, rose 0.6% to $93.86 per barrel and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index of stocks fell 0.1%.
Options traders are almost the least bearish on the Canadian dollar as they've been in two years. The three-month so-called 25-delta risk reversal rate, which measures the premium charged for the right to buy the U.S. dollar against the loonie versus contracts to sell, traded at 0.8% today, close to the 0.7% level touched Dec. 12 that was the lowest since November 2010.
Canada's benchmark 10-year bonds rose, with yields falling two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 1.89%. The 2.75 %note due in June 2022 rose 13 cents to $107.32.
The Bank of Canada will auction C$3.3 billion ($3.4 billion) of two year notes maturing in May 2015 today.
The Canadian dollar fell after Alexei Ulyukayev, first deputy chairman of Russia's central bank, said Japan's policy of weakening the yen may prompt other countries to do the same, sparking a currency war. Jean-Claude Juncker, prime minister of Luxembourg and chair of the Group of 20, complained the euro was "dangerously high" yesterday and Norwegian Finance Minister Sigbjoern Johnsen said a strong krone challenges the economy.
European Central Bank policy maker Ewald Nowotny said the euro exchange rate is "not a major concern."

Trends in the Analyst Ecosystem: 2010 will be a Year of Accelerating Change
by SageCircle
2009 was a brutal but not fatal year for the IT and telecommunications industry analysts. There were widespread layoffs at the firms, but no firms imploded. Mergers and acquisitions continued to be a tool for financially strong firms, but we also saw the launch of new firms to counter any consolidation. Social media adoption by analysts grew, but it was lumpy. These and other factors provided significant challenges to the analyst relations (AR) community, itself under pressure from the recession. Unfortunately, even though the analyst ecosystem is emerging from the recession, 2010 will provide no respite for AR. In fact, AR will have to deal with accelerating change. We expect Continue reading

Hey Ladies,
I'm new here, just had my baby girl last Monday, the 14th. She was an emergency c section and I have heard that c sections, as well as pitocin can cause your milk to come in slowly. I did labor, for 27 hours before the c section happened, 12 of those was with the epidural and on and off with the pitocin. Well I am 8 days out, and while I do have milk now, there is not a lot, it never even leaks. We worked with the lactation consultant at the hospital to correct latching issues, but I'm not 100% we are doing it right, she still seems to fight latching on at first. We are pumping right now and bottle feeding the breastmilk, then making up the rest of the volume with formula so that we can give as little formula as possible. The first time I pump for the day, I will get between 20-30 ml and then progressively it tapers off throughout the day unless I skip a pumping (like today, I had to skip because I left the newborn photographer's house and had to go straight to the surgeons office to get my staples removed) usually I end up around 10-12 ml for the rest of my pumpings, every 2-3 hours. I am doing skin to skin contact, eating lactation oatmeal cookies, resting and drinking lots of water, letting warm water hit my breasts in the shower, eating a balanced diet, and we've begun putting her on breast and then pumping when I take her off (we started this today) In the last 24 hours, my face has gone from cleared up (when I got pregnant and throughout the pregnancy my skin stayed terrible) to all zitty again and my breasts have gotten very tender, and not the nipple its the actual breast, I'm hoping this is a good sign that another hormone is working.
I asked the surgeon today at my staple removal appointment if this is it for milk and she was pretty much "ehhh sounds like you are just going to have to formula feed" she didn't offer any advice or help, note that this is not my normal OB, I only went back to her because she did the c section since my doctor is out of town and was not on call the night I delivered.
Has anyone heard of it taking longer than this for the milk to really start flowing? Do I have any chance of getting her on the breast at this point? I'm starting to get so discouraged, first I couldn't birth my baby and now I feel like I can't even feed her.
Thanks for listening

Suffolk, ss. Division of Administrative Law Appeals
Sarah E. Hague,
v. Docket No. CR-06-694
Teachers' Retirement System,
Attorney for Petitioner:
Bruce N. Hague, Esquire
Hague, Sahady & Co., P.C.
126 President Avenue
Fall River, MA 02720
Attorney for Respondent:
James C. O'Leary, Esquire
Deputy General Counsel
Teachers' Retirement System
One Charles Park
Cambridge, MA 02142
Administrative Magistrate:
Judithann Burke
The Teachers' Retirement System correctly calculated the Petitioner's retirement date. The Petitioner's last day of service as a teacher in Fall River was June 30, 2006. The Teachers' Retirement System did not receive her retirement application until September 11, 2006. Accordingly, her correct date of retirement is September 26, 2006 and not July 1, 2006.
Pursuant to G.L. c. 32, § 16(4), the Petitioner, Sarah E. Hague, is appealing from the October 11, 2006 action of the Respondent, Teachers Retirement System (TRS), establishing her effective date of retirement as September 26, 2006. (Exhibit 1). The appeal was timely filed. (Exhibit 2). A hearing was held on October 27, 2009 at the offices of the Division of Administrative Law Appeals, 98 North Washington Street, Boston, MA.
At the hearing, eight (8) documents were marked as exhibits. The Petitioner testified in her own behalf. Both parties stated their arguments for the record. One (1) tape was made of the proceedings.
Based upon the testimonial and documentary evidence submitted at the hearing in the above-entitled mater, I hereby render the following findings of fact:
1. The Petitioner, Sarah E. Hughes, was a teacher in Fall River and a member of the Teachers' Retirement System from May 1972 until her retirement on September 26, 2006. (Exhibits 1, 6 & 7).
2. The Petitioner prepared her retirement application in June 2006, intending to retire with an effective date at the end of the school year, July 1, 2006. (Exhibit 6).
3. The Instructions on the front page of the retirement application provide:
4) FILE your application in a timely manner. We recommend that you file your application three to four months before your date of retirement, and no earlier than four months in advance. Please note that if you file your application more than 60 days after your date of separation from service, your retirement date will NOT be retroactive to your resignation date. In this case, the earliest effective
date of retirement you may use will be 15 days after the date we receive your signed application.(Exhibits 1 and 6).
4. The Petitioner received salary information from her Human Resources Department in connection with her retirement application that appeared incorrect. The document that denoted her salary reflected that she had been paid at the rate of M+45 for the final years of her employment. The Petitioner believed that her academic qualifications entitled her to be paid at the higher M+60 rate. (Exhibits 3, 4 and 7).
5. The Petitioner wrote to the payroll office of the Fall River School Department and asked that the matter of her pay grade be investigated. She followed up by phone several times over the summer of 2006 and requested that the salary information be corrected. (Exhibits 3 and 6).
6. In August 2006, the Petitioner contacted a staff member of the TRS to discuss the delay in her returning her application. She was instructed to forward her application materials to the TRS right away, and, that the salary would be retroactively adjusted if and when the higher pay scale was confirmed by the employer. (Testimony).
7. On September 7, 2006, the Petitioner wrote to the TRS and explained her situation. (Exhibit 4).
8. The Petitioner's retirement application was received by the TRS on September 11, 2006. (Exhibit 6).
9. In a letter dated October 4, 2006 to the TRS, the Petitioner blamed the late filing of her retirement application on the extended period of time that she waited for the correct salary information. She noted in the letter that she had been told by friends that she should not wait any longer to file the application. She also indicated that she suffered from clinical depression, anxiety, severe hypertension and other ailments. (Exhibit 2).
10. In a letter dated October 11, 2006, the TRS notified the Petitioner that her retirement date was September 26, 2006, fifteen days after the date it was filed. (Exhibit 1).
11. The Petitioner filed a timely appeal.
12. On October 8, 2009, John Kerston, M.D. of Southern New England Physician's Associates reported "To Whom It May Concern":
Mrs. Hague has been a patient under my care since February 2006,
for the treatment of Dissociate Disorder and of Depression. While
suffers (sic) from symptoms of these disorders. She had neglected to
act on a deadline regarding her pension, resulting in a significant
financial loss. I am writing this letter to confirm the fact that she
has been in treatment with me and that her psychiatric condition
had a direct bearing on this important omission.(Exhibit 8).
The Petitioner is not entitled to prevail in this appeal. G.L.c. 32 § 10(3) provides, and the title page of the TRS Retirement application reiterates, that:
The retirement application of any member entitled thereto…shall
become effective on the date of his termination from service if his
written application therefore is filed with the board not more
than sixty days after such date; otherwise his retirement allowance
shall be deferred. Any such member that, at anytime thereafter and before attaining the maximum age for his group, files with the board his written application for such retirement allowance, and thereupon such
retirement allowance shall become effective on the date which shall be specified in the application and shall not be less than fifteen days nor
more than four months after the filing of such application …
(Emphasis added.)
The Petitioner did not file her application until September 11, 2006. The TRS approved the application with the statutorily correct effective date of September 26, 2006, or fifteen days after submission.
The Petitioner seeks relief from the 60-day deadline on the grounds that: the efforts of the Fall River School Department Human Resources personnel to correct her salary information were dilatory, and, she was led by them to believe that the mistake would be remedied in time; and, she suffered from severe depression and dissociative disorder during the summer of 2006. The Petitioner contends that these mental conditions impaired her abilities to organize her thoughts and put the paperwork together in a timely manner. Neither of these proffered grounds for the delay effects the Decision.
The Petitioner received and read the Retirement Application. The instructions for timely filing were displayed on the first page. The school system's dilatory processing of the salary information was a snag in the process; however the information for which she waited was not essential to the initial filing of the application. The behavior of the Fall River School Department's personnel office was not a failure of the retirement system for which the system must assume responsibility. Contra, Hembrow v. State Board of Retirement, CR-1229 (DALA 1978). The Petitioner not only had the filing information on the face of the application, but she was also in contact with the employer and the TRS late into August. After being urged in August to get the application filed, she still waited until after the first full week of September 2006 to file it. This is not a situation where the employer or the TRS affirmatively misled, or failed to inform, the employee of her retirement rights and responsibilities. See Timothy Riley v. Contributory Retirement Appeal Bd. and Mass. Teachers' Ret. Sys., Civil Action No. 04-2267 (Billings, J.,). Instead, the Petitioner's own behavior was dilatory.
The Petitioner's claim of psychiatric incapacity also does not change the outcome. She was able to make the decision to file for retirement, able to complete the application, able to recognize that the salary information was not correct, and, able to contact the Director of Personnel so that the salary information could be altered in her favor. She was also able to make regular contact with Fall River Human Resources personnel in order to follow up on the progress of the change. There is no medical or non-medical evidence in the record that, despite her serious emotional illness, she was unable to comprehend the significance and consequences of her retirement decision. Cf. Nancy Sneider v. Teachers' Retirement Board, CR-02-593, p.6 (DALA 2003) (CRAB 2004), citing Farnham v. Solvano, 27 Mass. App. 536 (1989).
Even if relevant, which it is not under the statute, Dr. Kerston's letter carries little weight. It was submitted without any contemporaneous medical documentation of the Petitioner's alleged incapacity to function during the critical time period, and, it also addresses an ultimate issue in this appeal without foundation. Further, Dr. Kerston's opinion is belied by his failure to suggest the appointment of a legal guardian or other counsel to assist the Petitioner with significant financial decisions or other major decisions in her life in 2006. It should also be noted here that the Petitioner's husband, an attorney, did not see the need in 2006 to assume any leadership or control over her retirement application process. Sneider, supra, at 6. Accordingly, the Petitioner has not proven mental incompetency.
Based on the foregoing, the TRB's decision establishing the Petitioner's retirement date as September 26, 2006 is affirmed.
So ordered.
Division of Administrative Law Appeals,
Judithann Burke
Administrative Magistrate
DATED: December 4 ,2009

The Eagles fell to 1-3 with a 24-23 loss to San Francisco, in which they again squandered a fourth-quarter lead. Here are some of the comments from Andy Reid after the game:
"It was an absolutely terrible job by myself and my football team," Reid said. "When you have a lead in the National Football League, you build on it and continue to score points. In all areas we were terrible, a lot of yards on offense, 2 for -7 in the red zone, three scoring drives in the second half; our young kicker, he needs to figure it out too just like everyone else."
Reid was asked about the defense and said "we're not pointing fingers at anybody. We're going to take a look at each other and look in the mirror and figure it out."
The Eagles have been outscored 26-0 in the three consecutive losses in the fourth quarter.
"It's offense and defense. You can't sit on leads," Reid said. "You can't do that as a football team. That's what I did with our football here and we lost the football game."
Asked several times specifically about the fourth quarter, Reid said, "It's a variety f things. I wish I could tell you it's one thing."
An Eagles team that started 1-3 has never made the playoffs under Reid.
"We're worried about winning football games, we're not worried about the playoffs right now," Reid said.
Asked if his message was no longer getting through, Reid said, "I've got to do a better job as the head football coach … I don't care how much talent you have, you have to play as a football team."
When a reporter broached the question about changes preceded by a reference to not asking, Reid said, "You were right. Don't ask the question."
Several times, Reid said. "Bottom line, I have to put the players in right position to make the plays and the players have to make the plays."
And as for David Akers and Alex Henery both struggling, with Henery missing two kicks that could have been the difference, Reid said, "I'm not getting into irony. It will probably make a good story for you."

The announcement that veteran U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin would not run for re-election came as such a shock that neither his own party nor the Republicans had given any thought to who might succeed him.
Harkin and his Republican counterpart, Charles Grassley, have been an Iowa institution in the Senate since the 1980s, and Harkin's robust $2.7 million re-election fund suggested that no change was likely soon.
Now, his unexpected retirement has set the stage for a test of how the major political parties will respond to change not only here, but also nationwide, as demographic forces reshape the electorate.
With a real chance to win, Republicans will have an opportunity to show whether they can reach out to the growing Hispanic population in a closely contested Midwestern state — a major priority since the party lost the 2012 national race with white-only support. In Iowa, Hispanics have almost doubled over the past decade to more than 5 percent of the electorate, and have backed Democrats like Harkin and Barack Obama by a 70 percent margin.
The party will also show whether it can unify its restive factions, especially evangelical conservatives and the business-first establishment, which are sometimes pulling in different directions.
Meanwhile, Democrats will face the challenge of electing someone not named Harkin. The only other Iowa Democrat elected statewide in recent years, Gov. Chet Culver, was defeated soundly by Republican Terry Branstad in 2010.
"The bottom line is 72 hours ago this was a seat we weren't going to win," said Rob Jesmer, who was director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee last year. "And now it's a seat we have a really good shot at winning. "
National conservative and liberal interest groups are expected to invest more than $30 million in the race, far more than has ever been spent here for a nonpresidential campaign.
Iowa's status as a resolutely bipartisan state -- split evenly between the parties in the Senate and Legislature -- will make it a special target.
"All the ingredients are here for an extraordinarily expensive barnburner with record spending," said Patrick Dillon, former deputy White House political director under Obama.
The National Republican Senate Committee has appointed new Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to help identify potential candidates who could win a general election and weed out those who probably couldn't.
The Iowa race will be part of the battle for control of the Senate in 2014. Democrats have a 10-seat margin, but also the burden of defending more seats. Harkin's involves the most dramatic switch from a Democratic safe seat to one that's up for grabs.
In most states, a retirement announcement by a 73-year-old senator would seem less surprising. But Iowa has a tradition of constancy.
Harkin, elected to the Senate in 1984 after 10 years in the House, is Iowa's junior senator, outranked by Grassley, who was elected in 1980. The 2014 Senate election will be the first here without an incumbent since Richard Nixon was president.
Because of the surprise, the field of potential candidates may remain unclear for a while.
Among Democrats, four-term U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley quickly began calling donors and national party activists, and met Wednesday with Democratic lawmakers at the Capitol in Des Moines.
"What I'm focusing on is reaching out to people who can give me unbiased advice about why I should or shouldn't do this," Braley said in an Associated Press interview Wednesday.
Braley has built a reputation as a consumer advocate and has been a loyal House supporter of Obama's spending programs, in the mold of the liberal populist Harkin.
He said he planned to meet in Washington Thursday with Senate Democratic leadership at the invitation of Majority Leader Harry Reid and Sen. Michael Bennett, chairman of the Senate Democrats' campaign committee.
"Bruce has done a really good job making it seem like he would be an heir to Sen. Harkin," said former Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Scott Brennan.
Another possible Democratic candidate, Christie Vilsack, wife of former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack and the loser of a U.S. House race last year, is "leaving all options on the table," said Vilsack's congressional campaign manager Jessica Vanden Berg.
After last election's ugly losses by tea party-friendly candidates in Missouri and Indiana, some top Republicans are trying to avoid a candidate identified with the far right.
Some GOP leaders have already approached U.S. Rep. Steve King, an outspoken social conservative, to gently discourage him from running.
But there are signs King may be tempering his tone in consideration of a Senate bid. On Tuesday, he issued a statement supporting in principle a bipartisan Senate proposal on immigration reform, although he has been a fierce critic of illegal immigrants in the past.
Establishment Republicans are urging U.S. Rep. Tom Latham to run. The 10-term U.S. House member has fought off serious Democratic challenges in swing districts. He is less of a lightning rod than King, who memorably remarked in 2008 that a victory by Obama would have al Qaida "dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on Sept. 11."
"There will be enormous pressure for Latham to run," said Des Moines Republican fundraiser and activist Doug Gross, a former GOP nominee for governor.

The Phillies made a flurry of roster moves Tuesday afternoon and it meant good news for some, bad news for others and surprising news for one member of the 2008 World Series championship team.
The good news department: For just the 12th time this season shortstop Jimmy Rollins took the field as a member of the starting lineup after ending a second stint on the disabled list with a strained right calf muscle.
Mike Zagurski also was a happy man after being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The left-handed reliever last pitched in the big leagues in 2007, then missed the entire 2008 season after undergoing reconstructive surgery on his left elbow.
The bad news department: Catcher Carlos Ruiz, after being hit in the head by a broken bat Friday night against Minnesota, was placed on the disabled list because he has a concussion.
The surprising news: Reserve Greg Dobbs was designated for assignment, which means that both Wilson Valdez and Juan Castro remained on the roster as backup infielders. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro said the Dobbs' decision was difficult even though the left-handed hitting reserve was only hitting .152 (10-for-66) with one home run and six RBIs. He had one hit and two RBIs in 25 at-bats as a pinch-hitter after hitting .167 with one home run and four RBIs as a pinch-hitter a year ago.
"Dobber has been a very, very productive player for us over the last several years," Amaro said. "He helped us win a World Series and he helped us get back to the World Series and it's hard. That role is not an easy role and it's a bit of a rollercoaster ride. I've lived it myself, so I have some empathy about how difficult that job is."
Amaro said the Phillies have 10 days to decide what will happen next with Dobbs, who was the last bench player remaining from the Phillies' 2008 World Series championship team. The general manager is hoping that Dobbs clears waivers and accepts an outright assignment to Lehigh Valley. It's also possible the Phillies could trade Dobbs.
"At some point we may have to put him on waivers and selfishly, if we do that, I hope he gets through … because I think he can still be a productive player for us," Amaro said. "He just has not been as productive as he has in the past."
Dobbs, claimed off waivers from Seattle in 2007, was extremely productive in his first two seasons with the Phillies, batting a combined .284 with 19 home runs and 95 RBIs in 550 at-bats. He also was a tremendous pinch-hitter in his first two seasons. He batted .355 with two home runs and a major-league leading 18 RBIs as a pinch-hitter in 2007, then hit .292 with two home runs and 13 RBIs the following season. He also set a team record with 22 pinch-hits in 2008, then batted .500 (7-for-14) during the Phillies' postseason run.
Amaro said the Phillies decided to keep both Valdez and Castro on the roster in case Rollins' right calf continues to be an issue.

Like many people who get involved with the Boy Scouts, Mark R. Johnson had planned to continue for decades.
"I had hoped to be in Scouting for many, many years. I had hoped to do it with my grandkids, but that's not going to happen," the 49-year-old health care project manager and father of four said.
Mr. Johnson, a former Scout, has been Scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 7, based at Liberty Church in Shrewsbury, for six years. His oldest son, who is 18, received his Eagle Scout rank Saturday. His 15-year-old son should get his in June. Once that happens, Mr. Johnson will be pretty much near the end of his association with the Boy Scouts.
Because of the controversial May 2013 vote by the 104-year-old national Boy Scouts of America to no longer bar youths because of their sexual orientation or preference, Liberty, along with some other Assembly of God churches, has decided to break ties with the Boy Scouts. Mr. Johnson said he and a group of parents formed a new parent charter until the end of the year to enable the 14 boys still in the troop to obtain the Eagle rank, the highest advancement rank in Scouting. The ones who don't finish out their advancement by then and want to continue in Scouting will be connected with another troop.
Mr. Johnson, who lives in Holden, said he doesn't attend the Shrewsbury church, but as a born-again Christian, he got involved with the troop specifically because it is a Christian ministry that not only teaches boys about Scouting, but guides them in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
He said the Boy Scout's oath and the Bible teach one to be "morally straight." Being homosexual is not being morally straight, he said.
"I know society says that's not wrong, but the Bible still does say that," he said. "This is not an anti-gay or a homophobic perspective, it's trying to stick to biblical principals. If I had a Scout sleeping with his girlfriend, I would say, 'You're not morally straight, and therefore you will not pass a board of review.'"
Mr. Johnson and Liberty Church are perhaps in the minority when it comes to the BSA's new policy. To date, 98 to 99 percent of the nearly 116,000 units nationwide have not been impacted by the policy change, according to information provided by the Irving,Texas-based BSA.
In the rare instance that a chartered organization has chosen not to continue with the BSA, other organizations have stepped up to charter those units and provide uninterrupted service to the youths, Deron Smith, BSA's director of public relations, said in an email.
"The new policy allows kids who sincerely want to be a part of Scouting to experience this life-changing program while remaining true to the longstanding virtues of the Boy Scouts of America. The BSA believes every child deserves the opportunity to be a part of the Scouting experience," Mr. Smith said.
Leaders of Worcester-based Mohegan Council and Nashua Valley Council, based in Lancaster, to which most of the Boy Scout units in Worcester County belong, said things have gone well, if not better, since the change.
Gary Savignano, executive director of the Nashua Valley Council, which covers 32 communities in north-central Massachusetts, including Leominster and Fitchburg, said he has not received any complaints regarding the policy change. He pointed out that before the national vote, his council's executive board had made a decision to support a full change, to not only allow homosexual youths, but adults who volunteer as unit leaders and in other capacities. The new policy only covers youths.
Mr. Savignano said that in the past few months, five new Scouting units with a total of about 50 boys have started in the Nashua Valley Council.
"We have started several new units this year. I am not sure if that was a reason or not," he said.
Jeffrey S. Hotchkiss, the executive director and CEO of the Scouts' Mohegan Council in Worcester, said 90 percent of his executive board supported the change. The council covers Scouting groups in 38 communities in southern Worcester County.
He said recruitment is up 12.3 percent compared with a year ago. The council normally averages 70 Eagle Scouts a year, but had 107 who performed more than 20,000 hours of community service last year. The annual popcorn fundraising sale was up 16 percent and there were increases in attendees at the Cub Scout day camp and the Boy Scouts camp last summer. The council also broke ground last fall on a six-megawatt, 30-acre solar farm at Treasure Valley that should generate $4 million in income over the next 20 years.
"It's been going well. I think Scouting is finally poised to grow," Mr. Hotchkiss said. "We're not used to being at the center of controversy. We're used to getting kids involved and adults in the Scouting movement so we can make a difference in the lives of boys and their families."
The Framingham-based Knox Trail Council, whose Tri-River District covers Scouting groups in the eastern part of Worcester County, lost one church sponsor. The district has Scouts in Northboro, Southboro, Westboro, Marlboro, Hudson, Hopedale, Mendon, Milford and Hopkinton.
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Westboro did not renew its relationship with Troop 4, but the BSA's new policy had nothing to do with that, said the pastor, Rev. Jeffrey P. Goodrich. He said when the church began sponsoring the troop in the early 1990s, many of the boys and the adult leaders attended the church. He said currently there are no congregation members active in the Scout troop. Most church members are now from Grafton, Northboro and other surrounding towns. Their sons are involved with Scouting units in their hometowns. Troop 4 is now being sponsored by the American Legion Ray Stone Post No. 238 in Shrewsbury, where about half of the boys live.
He said some people have the misconception that the church stopped sponsoring the troop because it is anti-homosexual. He pointed out that in 2009, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the local church's parent organization, voted to allow gay and lesbian people committed in long-term relationships to be clergy pastors.
"We are quite pleased that the Boy Scouts changed their policy to be a bit more open," Rev. Goodrich said. "We fully support the role that Scouting plays in a boy's life. I was a Boy Scout and Eagle Scout. It made a big difference in my life. It was sad that we weren't able to support the troop in the way they were looking for."
Trail Life USA, a Christian-based group that excludes openly gay boys, began in Orlando, Fla., on Jan. 1. as an alternative to the Boy Scouts. The group was started by Rob Green, a former Boy Scout council CEO, and others who left the national organization after they were not able to stop the policy change.
Mr. Green said Trail Life is growing quickly, mostly on the west coast, but there are units in New York and Rhode Island and Connecticut — each has one. He said currently there are about 650 troops with 18 members in each. A little more than half are not former Boy Scouts, he said in a telephone interview.
"This was started because a lot of people saw the BSA abandoning their values. People saw a need for a Christian youth organization that would use biblical values," Mr. Green said.

Two men, one from Fort McCoy and one from Gainesville, were shot to death in Silver Springs early Friday.
Two men, one from Fort McCoy and one from Gainesville, were shot to death in Silver Springs early Friday. The killings occurred shortly after midnight at 4744 NE 32nd Lane, the Serenity Apartments.
According to detectives with the Marion County Sheriff's Office Bureau of Special Investigations, the deceased men are Robert Anthony Williams, 27, of Fort McCoy, and Jeffery Blaine Scott, 33, of Gainesville.
The man who shot them was identified as Eric Christopher Cowley-Bonacker, 28, of Silver Springs.
Maj. Tommy Bibb, head of the bureau, said it appeared that Williams and Scott intended to do harm to Cowley-Bonacker at his home, following an incident earlier at a bar, where Cowley-Bonacker had gotten into an altercation with Williams.
Cowley-Bonacker was brought to the Sheriff's Office by detectives Friday morning. After the interviews were completed, he spoke with a Star-Banner reporter.
"It was a physical assault," he said. "I just had to stand my ground. They weren't stopping. They just kept coming and coming."
He said the two dead men were "vandalizing my vehicle and my home," if they had just left it at that, no problem, but "they just kept coming at me. I had no choice."
Cowley-Bonacker has not been arrested.
According to detectives and witnesses, around midnight, Cowley-Bonacker went to Dr. B's Pub at 3602 NE Eighth Place, Ocala, where he saw Williams, with whom he has had an ongoing feud. An altercation ensued, which was broken up by personnel from the pub.
William Hedden, 27, of Ocala, who is Cowley-Bonacker's friend, told detectives that the two of them went to Dr. B's Pub and that Cowley-Bonacker saw Williams and went inside. Hedden said he suspected there would be an altercation, but by the time he got out of the vehicle to go inside, bouncers had broken up the fight. He said they left and went to Cowley-Bonacker's residence. He said that about 15 to 20 minutes later they saw a blue Durango SUV pull up and heard a commotion outside and came to the door. He said they saw a man slashing the tires on Cowley-Bonacker's older model Ford F-150 pickup and also saw another man. He said he and his friend stayed inside by the door, but that he threw something at the men to scare them off.
Detectives said the people in the Durango were Williams, Scott, Aldea Moore, 33, of Ocklawaha, and Christopher Hancock, 29, of Prattville, Ala. Williams and Scott had gotten out of the vehicle first.
Detectives said Hedden told them that Cowley-Bonacker fired several warning shots. He said at that point two other people got out of the Durango, which detectives said would have been Hancock and Moore.
Hedden said two men jumped on Cowley-Bonacker and one man jumped on him, all of which occurred inside the apartment.
Detectives said Jason Batten, 25, Cowley-Bonacker's roommate, joined the fracas and that all the people were skirmishing in a very small space.
Hedden said Cowley-Bonacker shot one of the two men he was fighting with. Hedden said the man who had jumped him then ran to Cowley-Bonacker, and also was shot. Hedden said he went out the back door and took off running, according to reports.
According to other people detectives spoke with, Williams and Scott approached the front door and they and Cowley-Bonacker got into an altercation, which continued inside the apartment before Williams and Scott were forced outside. Williams and Scott picked up a trash can and broke the front window of the apartment and charged toward the door. Cowley-Bonacker, who had picked up a semi-automatic handgun, fired warning shots. When Williams and Scott continued charging forward and came inside the apartment, another fight ensued, during which they were both shot, the report states.
Rachel Preston, 24, who also was inside the apartment, was not involved.
Autopsies were conducted Friday. Detectives said Williams had been shot once in the area of the collarbone and Scott was shot once in the neck.
Cowley-Bonacker said the tiff between him and Williams was ongoing and that a few weeks ago, Williams "robbed me, a strong-arm robbery that I never reported." He said he legally owns the handgun, a .45 caliber.
Late Friday, authorities executed a search warrant at the apartment. They said they recovered six shell casings and projectiles from the floors and walls, along with blood-stained clothing and shoes and other evidence, such as the green garbage can used to smash the window.
They said that inside a safe in the apartment, they found approximately a half-pound of mid-grade marijuana. They said they did not yet know to whom the marijuana belonged.
Terrylee L. Scott, the mother of Jeffery Blaine Scott, reached by telephone, said, "I just can't believe it; I just can't believe it." After someone in the background told her to hang up, she said she was sorry but she "couldn't say anything more at this time."
Robert Anthony Williams' mother, Hellen Williams, also reached by phone, said her son has a 3-year-old daughter. She said he was a "really good kid."
Sobbing heavily, she said her son was "very loved and will be greatly missed."
She said he was very good to her and loved his family. She said she last saw him was two days ago, when he came by to visit her.
She said that when her son would drink, he "had an awful temper."

Jan's Writing Basics #2: Beware of Adjectives and Adverbs
These lessons, by one of our most consistent FaithWriters' Challenge Champions, should not be missed. So we're making a permanent home for them here.
Moderators: mikeedwards, glorybee
Okay, here's my take on it (and I did like you said and didn't read anyone else's before I posted mine):
Exhausted from a work day that seemed to never end, Jan trudged into her house, dropping her shoes at the door. Plodding barefoot into the kitchen, all she wanted was a soda and some comfort food -- chocolate cake, perhaps? She stepped toward the gleeming refrigerator, which seemed to be saying, "Come to me. I can make you feel better."
"Ow!" she exclaimed, lifting up her left foot to investigate the cause of the sudden pain. Embedded in her heel was one miniscule Lego brick, left over from her nephew's visit the day before.
Let's see... extra, unecessary words:
If you're exhausted, then you're "weary" and "worn out" so those don't need to be used; if the day was endless, then it was "long"; I didn't even use "dark ebony" because I didn't think it added to the scene; if you're plodding, it's a pretty sure bet you're not feeling a lot of "enthusiasm"; You don't need "icy" with "cold"; or "sugary" with "saccharine"; and as long as you describe the fridge as "shiny" or another comparable word, you don't need "stainless steel" for the fridge. If you exclaim, then it will probably be "loudly"; a sharp pain is already "acute"; her nephew will be "young" if he's playing with Lego bricks; and if something is embedded enough to make you say "ow!" then one can already assume the flesh is tender.
This was great, Jan! My biggest problem in writing has been too many "-ly" adverbs, so as I read your lesson, I saw myself all over the place! I know I can look back through my previous writing and really cut things down, just by using better verbs -- more salsa words -- and getting rid of the extra adjectives and adverbs.
Thanks for these lessons, Jan. They are a big help to me. I really appreciate this!
Now I'm going to go read everyone's posts!
Jan, go ahead and do it here, we can all learn from it!
(I even had a problem in college with too wordy research papers!)
Barb Culler
Much better, Pam! Your sentences are more varied and more interesting in this one. Thanks for being willing to give it a second try.

Beware of Adjectives and Adverbs
After a grueling day at work Jan staggered into the house. She kicked off her shoes and shuffled toward the kitchen. Opening the fridge she grabbed a cold soda and the last piece of delicious chocolate cake for a snack.
She was thinking about her snack when she stepped on a piece of Lego her nephew forgot to pick up yesterday. She shouted "OW" as an excruciating pain shot through her heel.
Jan's Lesson
Feel free to tackle it here. Like Barb we all need to grow from this. Ruth
Exhausted, weary, and worn out, Jan walked tiredly into her house at the end of a long, seemingly endless day at work. She slipped off her dark ebony shoes at the door and plodded unenthusiastically toward the kitchen. All she wanted was an icy cold soda and something sugary saccharine—maybe there was leftover cake in the shiny stainless steel refrigerator.
"Ow!" she exclaimed loudly. She lifted up her left foot to examine curiously what had caused her such sudden, sharp, acute pain. Embedded firmly in the tender flesh of her heel was one minuscule Lego, left over from her young nephew's visit the previous day before.
After a long day of wraggling with customers at Michel's Boutique, Jan was more than ready to chuck off her shoes and drag herself to the kitchen and down a glass of cold Pepsi. She slammed the door behind her and kicked off the turquoise heels unceremoniously by the tall hat rack to her left. Jan sighed as she took a moment to massage her neck then she remembered she was thirsty. The kitchen seemed like miles away from her when it was only a couple of steps away around the corner. She groaned. Start walking, she muttered to her self. She ambled over to the stainless steel refrigerator and peered inside, searching for anything to satiate her sweet tooth along with the cold glass of Pepsi over ice.
"Hmm, didn't I put a slice of lemon cream in here last night?" Jan muttered. "Aha! There it is." She grabbed the foil-wrapped plate with the lemon cream cake and hurried to the drawer to pull out a fork. She swiveled her hip to the right to shut the drawer back in and did an about face. She felt a quick jolt of pain race up her feet to her ankle, she buckled to her knees.
"Wha...-" She gasped. Lifting up her foot, she spied a red misshapen Lego and shook her head. "Jason!" She invoked the culprit, her nephew, who had been here the day before and must have left the Lego behind.
I noticed there were too many adjectives that basically had a similar concept like : exhausted, weary, worn out which is redundant. I tried to write it in a more active voice where the reader could identify with the character better while giving enough active descriptions so the reader can see the scene as it unfolds.
Exhausted from a long day at work, Jan trudged through her front door and slipped off her pumps. What she needed was something cold and laced with sugar.
She plodded towards the fridge.
"Youch!" A sharp pain coursed through her foot. "What in the world?" Jan lifted her foot to find a small Lego embedded in the tender flesh of her heel.
"Jimmy," she clicked her tongue in reprimand, even though her nephew was nowhere in the house.
This was a fun assignment!
I havent written anything in a month So this was a nice refresher for me
Exhausted, weary, and worn out, Jan walked tiredly into her house at the end of a long, seemingly endless day at work.

Pat drudged through a seemingly endless abyss of adverbs and adjectives that plunged her brain into the deep vortex of unnecessary words. *gag* (sorry about my brain's gag reflex)
Here it goes ... and without reading anyone else's ...
Jan's keys slipped to the carpet as she leaned against the door. She closed her eyes and took in the comforting fragrance of her home. She tried to kick off her shoes but her feet were swollen so she dropped her purse and groaned a sigh of relief as she tossed them in the corner. All she wanted to do was still the buzz twirling in her head. It had been a long day.
"Coke and cake. It's a start." she said, starring at nothing down the hall.
"Owwwoooo!" she yelped into the silence as she began the short trek toward the kitchen.
Jan hopped to her comfy rocker to examine her left foot to see what caused such searing pain. "That twerp." she smiled. "I told him to make sure he got each piece."
There embedded in her heel was one tiny Leggo piece her nephew overlooked.
"Oh well." she said to her imperial furry friend who came barreling into the room, twitching her agitation, "Coke and cake, how 'bout it Chaunc? You up for some tuna?"
Jan made her way to the fridge hobbling on the ball of her foot, Chauncey beat her there with the regal sway of a queen ... for she never followed behind.
(Too long I know, but I got carried away. It was Chauncey's fault.)

adverbs and adjectives
This is the second test I've taken in your series. I'm learning already. Thank you for giving us this oportunity to learn the basics. Knowing this is available helps me to realize I'm not alone in my shortcomings. I never did well in English classes in school. Sciences were my best courses. Now I have this desire to write so I hope my skills catch up with my desire.
This is the re-write I suggest.
Exhausted, Jan trudged into her house at the finish of an endless day at work. She slipped off her ebony shoes at the door and plodded toward the kitchen. All she longed for was a cold drink and something sugary; maybe there was leftover cake in the refrigerator.
"Ow!" She cried out. She examined her left foot to see what had caused the sharp pain in her heel. Embedded firmly in the tender flesh was a minuscule Lego, left over from her nephew's visit the previous day.
Unnecessary adjectives and adverbs in the sample:
Weary and worn out mean the same as exhausted. Only one is needed.
Tiredly is not needed because we already know she is exhausted.
Long and endless have nearly the same meaning in this context so I changed it to "the finish of an endless day".
I don't think seemingly is needed because the word endless already expresses her opinion since it can't be proven by fact.
Dark and ebony are similar. Using both doesn't add to the story. Since ebony is a more descriptive word I chose to use it instead of just dark. Also ebony is black and how light or dark can black be?
Unenthusiastically is not needed because plodding already seems unenthusiastic.
Icy cold is redundant.
Sugary saccharine is redundant.
Shiny stainless steel. The type of refrigerator is not needed to tell the story.
I guess exclaimed loudly is OK but I thought cried out was a cleaner way to say the same thing.
Curiously is not needed because she would have to be curious to pick up her foot to examine it.
Sudden and acute mean the same thing.
Embedded and firmly are similar but I think firmly adds to the seriousness of the injury so I left it in.
Previous and before are redundant.
I hope I got the right idea here and my reasoning is logical.

Wow! You all are very creative. You make our class fun. Great images.
The full blown story was too cute. Love, Ruth
I did my changes and then read the other posts. Wow, they are good. I think I probably simplified Jan's paragraph too much but I'm going to stick with what I did. So here goes.
Exhausted, Jan slipped off her shoes as she entered the house. She plodded to the refrigerator seeking a soda and a piece of cake.
"Ow!" Examining her foot she found a minuscule piece of Lego embedded in the flesh of her heel. It was left over from her young nephew's visit the previous day.
I wish I'd read this lesson before I entered the Challenge this week.
Thanks Jan. This has been very helpful.
The LORD looks at the world from his throne in heaven, and he watches us all. Psalm 33:13,14
We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals." ~ Immanual Kant
It felt good to be home, Jan had passed up tired a few hours earlier. She kicked her shoes off at the door and barefooted it to the kitchen. She was thirsty and in need of comfort food.
"Ow." She lifted her foot and found a tiny lego. As she rubbed her foot she smiled at the memory of playing with her nephew.

Wow, have I ever fallen behind with these responses!
Okay, one at a time.
Nonny, I loved your re-write. Can't think of a thing I'd change except perhaps for the refrigerator that seems to speak, but that's purely a stylistic choice, and nothing to do with adjectives and adverbs. It's your creative take on the admittedly ridiculous paragraph, so it's fine!
Thanks so much for taking part!

Okay, Barb--thanks for being a good sport. Here goes.
I'd replace the 'she' in the first sentence with Jan, and replace the first 'Jan' with 'she'. Use the proper name first, and then the pronoun.
'heels' is spelled wrong. With an 'a', it's what Jesus does. With an 'e', it's the bottom of your feet.
The semicolon in the second sentence should be a comma. Use semicolons to join two independent clauses. In this case, the first part of the sentence is not an independent clause.
Eliminate the comma after 'Coke'. (See Ann's class for the reason)
Eliminate 'she yelled out'.
Any questions about any of these changes? Let me know.

Re: Beware of Adjectives and Adverbs
Hoppy, I'm so glad you found your way here!
You did a great job of discarding unnecessary words. However, you had the same problem that an earlier poster did; in taking out the junk, you've now got three sentences that begin with "She". Can you give it another shot, and add more variety to your sentences? (Feel free to read through my responses to some of the other posts, too).

Feels cramped and underimagined. I think Judge is capable of making an inspired live-action comedy, but next time he'll have to remember to do what he does in his animated ones--keep the madness popping.
Read Full Review
Drably shot, unimaginatively written and shallowly acted, it's a poor example of the "daffy, goofy, sex-crazed guys" occupational comedies that flourished throughout the job-obsessed '80s. [19 Feb 1999]
It fails to sustain its comic momentum or high energy level. The first half is fresh and funny, but it doesn't last.
From morning traffic jams to passive-aggressive bosses who justify their existence by making yours miserable, Space gets it right. [19 Feb 1999]
The movie's dialogue is smart. It doesn't just chug along making plot points.
See all Office Space reviews at Metacritic.com
Iffy for 15+
Dark comedy is aimed at 20-somethings, not kids.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this dark-humor movie is from the mind of "Beavis and Butthead" creator, Mike Judge, and some teens will think it's likewise targeted at them. However, the subject matter of the movie -- dead-end jobs in banal suburban "campuses" with aggravating bosses --makes it more appropriate for young adults who themselves are in their first office jobs. The movie depicts stealing and implied arson. There is strong language, sexual references, and jealous fantasies. A character celebrates a horrific injury, there is an on-screen medical emergency, characters act illegally, and a mistreated character takes drastic revenge.
Messages: Preconceptions are the cause of misunderstandings including the criminal history of a salesman and the treatment of a mentally challenged co-worker. One case of tremendously bad behavior is rewarded, while several characters maintain a strong moral compass.
Violence: Implied arson, a medical emergency, violent lyrics to song, character suffers a car accident off-screen, characters destroy an object with baseball bats.
Sex: Explicit references to sex and to sleeping around, implicit sex, jealous fantasy. Brief shot of a topless woman on TV.
Language: Strong language used by angry characters, in the music and as mocking insults.
Consumerism: The prevalence of commercialism in suburban life is a theme of the movie and the source of jokes, however there are also product placements that are not the object of satire.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Social drinking.

As a secondary school principal, Drago was instrumental in the implementation of several school and community initiatives benefiting the Sudbury region. Among his many professional awards, he earned the Award of Excellence from the Sudbury Board of Education and the Award of Excellence from the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation.
While at Clarkson, Drago played under head hockey coach Len Ceglarski and was a key member of three of Clarkson's most successful teams during the 1960s. During his time at Clarkson, the Golden Knights compiled a 56-15-3 record and participated in two NCAA tournaments, finishing as national runner-ups in 1962 and gaining a third-place trophy in 1963. He also was a member of Theta Chi Fraternity, a Varsity "C" Member and a member of the Ice Carnival Committee.
For over 40 years, Drago was involved with hockey. He has coached at the midget, high school, junior major, junior intermediate and senior levels.

"…. is to draw the lines around the median value so that we get around half the batsman on top of the mid line of the Average balls per innings and around half the batsmen to the right of the mid line of the Strike rate line… This leads to unequal quadrants but would make analysis of the batsmen far more meaningful. Let me add that the drawing of the asymmetrical central lines is my own idea and most of the BCG charts have only centrally located divider lines. However my idea of asymmetrical dividing lines ensures a fairer distribution of players across quadrants."
