subsumed? I had never heard that word before. Thanks for the vocabulary lesson.

Main Entry: sub·sume
Pronunciation: s&b-'süm
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): sub·sumed; sub·sum·ing
Etymology: New Latin subsumere, from Latin sub- + sumere to take up --
more at CONSUME
: to include or place within something larger or more comprehensive :
encompass as a subordinate or component element <red, green, and
yellow are subsumed under the term "color">
