Dustin Pedroia has gone through this before. The Red Sox have gone through this before. The player has played through pain, and his team has won. The Sox have been victorious in 419 games and lost 313 with Pedroia in lineup since the beginning 2007. Many of those victories have come with the second baseman experiencing some sort of ache or pain.
But that doesn't make their current predicament sting any less.
Last year in early June, it was a knee injury. Pedroia managed it and life went on.
The year before he first had a knee issue, and, eventually, a broken foot.
There was an oblique injury during the 2009 World Baseball Classic. In '08 he had a thumb problem. He ended up winning the American League MVP. The year before was a cracked hamate bone. That was handled well enough that he won both the AL Rookie of the Year and World Series.
Now we have this thumb injury.
Pedroia's day started with an MRI, which was diagnosed by the Red Sox medical team before being shipped to Arizona where Dr. Donald Sheridan took a look. It was determined that the second baseman has a small tear in his right thumb's adductor muscle. It's the same muscle Kevin Youkilis injured in '10 before undergoing surgery, but that was much more severe due to a ligament pulled off a bone. With Pedroia, there is no problems with the ligaments or tendons.
While waiting for the results, he roamed around the clubhouse and field, wearing a small, white splint around his thumb.
"I don't know anything, yet," he told anxious reporters before the game. "I'll page you guys when I find out."
By the time the Red Sox had beaten the Tigers, 6-3, he had discovered at least some of his fate. But before disclosing what was what, Pedroia swung by to meet with Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington, Sox assistant GM Brian O'Halloran and Bobby Valentine in the manager's office one last time to lock in on the plan heading into Wednesday.
When he emerged and assumed the position in front of his locker, ready to answer what would be 3 minutes and 43 seconds worth of questions, Pedroia explained his situation.
"I'm optimistic," he said when asked if there was a chance there could be no time on the disabled list. "We're still talking about it. Hopefully the swelling and stuff goes down and I won't miss that much time." He later added when asked about what would need to be displayed Wednesday to convince the team he was suitable for action, "I don't have to show them anything. I've played with injuries before. It's just a matter of me being able to swing with a brace on it or something. So I'm going to go get something made, see how it feels and if I can't do it then I think it's 3-4 weeks. Hopefully it's not that."
So, what should we make of this?
When Pedroia says "I've played with injuries before" there is a whole lot of truth behind it. As mentioned before, almost every year of his six-year big league career, he has had to deal with something. If there's a slump, usually the cause can be attributed to an injury.
On June 12, 2008 Pedroia's batting average bottomed out at .260. It was because he had hurt his thumb (with no correlation with this injury).
June 9, 2010, he saw his average dip to .248. That was due to a knee problem.
His low point last season came on June 4, when Pedroia's batting average fell to .239. It was right before he would be diagnosed with a bruised knee.
The point is that almost every year there has been an issue, and every year (with the exception of the one he had a screw inserted in his foot) he ends up with the numbers. Perhaps the best example of all was '11, when on some occasions he could actually feel the hardware inserted in his left foot dig into his flesh. Yet Pedroia still managed to finish with one of his best all-around seasons, hitting .307 with 25 homers and and .861 OPS.
So with the question regarding Pedroia's resolve answered, what has to be surfaced is any doubts in regard to his patience. A window was opened for the infielder to play in '10 despite the usual recovery time for returning from his broken navicular bone was approximately five weeks longer than the time he took before coming back. He jumped through that window and paid the price. That can't happen again.
"There's some risk just like with any injury, there's a risk that it could worsen," Cherington said. "And that's our job and Dustin's job to make sure that we're minimizing that risk as much as possible before he gets back out there."
Since '07, the Red Sox are 71-56 without Pedroia in the lineup. Tuesday night, they became the first team since Sept. 2, 2010 to manage 10 or more hits against Justin Verlander without their starting second baseman. Life can go on … for a while.
The longest stretch the Sox have gone without Pedroia was during the hiatus due to the broken foot. It was 87 games and a 45-42 record. It was also a warning regarding exactly how important their All-Star was. Bill Hall, Yamaico Navarro, Jed Lowrie and Eric Patterson couldn't make up the difference in the long haul.
So now while it is unknown how much this haul is going to be, it is worth taking a look at viable options if Pedroia isn't available.
There's Tuesday night's starter, Nick Punto. The veteran infielder managed just his sixth hit of the season, Tuesday, boosting his average to .140. But Punto's value has yet to be recognized in these parts. Some of it was uncovered against the Tigers, with the infielder showing good range and instincts at the position. But what should be remembered is that this was the starting second baseman for the world champions last season, hitting .278 in 63 games with the Cardinals.
Then we have the possibility of getting a taste of the Jose Iglesias phenomenon. According to a source, the shortstop has missed the last five games with Triple-A Pawtucket due to a stiff lower back, which might throw the timing of such a promotion off. But the ailment doesn't figure to be a long-term issue, and Iglesias might be ready to go within the next few days if need be.
If Iglesias is recalled, that might mean a temporary return to second base for starting shortstop Mike Aviles. Aviles told WEEI.com prior to Tuesday night's game that nobody had asked him about such a switch, but he wouldn't stand in their way.
"Nobody has talked to me, but I'm always prepared to play," he said. "That's the bottom line, playing baseball and coming ready to play every day. Nobody has said anything to me and I don't know what's going to happen. I'm just ready to play wherever I'm told to play.
I've never really been assigned a position, to tell you the truth. Even in '08 (when he was Kansas City's everyday shortstop for a good chunk of the season) I played a little bit at second, also. In 2008 I didn't start as a shortstop, I was playing second base. We'll just have to see how it goes. Whatever happens, happens."
Aviles admits, such a switch wouldn't be ideal. But in this case, ideal might not be an option.
"I would like to stay [at shortstop], but if what's best for the team isn't necessarily that, then so be it," he said. "Ultimately that's what it comes down to, what's going to be in the best interest of the team to win games. I can deal with anything as long as we're winning games. I just want to win a championship. That's my bottom line goal, and I know that's what everybody else's goal is here. However we can make it happen, then we'll do it and I'll do it. I'll go about my business as a professional as I always have."

The present invention relates to apparatus for processing a data signal in which the data is non-linearly distributed with respect to time in a predetermined way, for example, radiometer scanning data for use in ground stations for receiving meteorological or other data produced by a mechanical scanning device on a spacecraft. It is a particular advantage to the users of such radiometer data, which is generally transformed into pictorial form that the view obtained shall be at all times on a scale as if it were taken orthogonal to the surface of the earth. This is done by linearising the data signal.
A further important requirement is that the linearisation of the data should take place "in real time" (i.e. at the time the picture is being received, rather than subsequently) so that there shall be no delay in obtaining the processed picture.
The Itos spacecraft is launched in a near circular polar orbit so that it is sun-synchronous. By suitable choice of orbital parameters, it is arranged that complete coverage of the earth is achieved twice every 24 hours. The spacecraft transmits data continuously to ground station designed to receive the signals whenever the spacecraft is above the horizon at any one station which occurs for about 20 minutes during any one orbit.
A mechanical scanning radiometer is provided in the spacecraft and is arranged to scan the area passing beneath the spacecraft along a line at right angles to the spacecraft motion from horizon to horizon of the earth. The particular scanning arrangement used is a rotating mirror which, as a result of the choice of the spacecraft's altitude, views the earth surface for about one third of its 360� rotation. During the remaining period of the mirror's scan, when no scanning information is being transmitted, telemetry and synchronising data and another channel of useful data are time-multiplexed with the scanning signal.
As the mirror scans the earth, the scale of the view of the surface of the earth varies continuously along the scan, being greatest and varying less rapidly over the few degrees directly beneath the spacecraft, and least and varying most rapidly near the horizons (i.e. the view of the areas at the horizons of the earth is somewhat compressed). Thus the signal obtained from the radiometer is non-linear.
The radiometer is usually sensitive only to one particular wavelength e.g. in the visible or infra red part of the spectrum. The signals transmitted may consist of an F.M./A.M. type, and the result of demodulating the F.M. signal is generally a subcarrier whose amplitude varies from 0 to 100% corresponding to the amplitude of the parameter being measured. This type of analogue signal may in some cases be directly fed to a facsimile recorder, or, if necessary, to an electronic processor, and then to the recorder.
A picture printer with a linear scan such as a mechanical facsimile recorder will, when supplied with the non-linear radiometer signal, present a distorted picture of the earth's surface which is only marginally useful.
It is an object of the present invention to provide means for compensating for the non-linearity, in such a way that a picture which is linear in the direction of the spacecraft scan can be produced. It is recognised that such a picture is still not a perfect picture of the earth's surface, in that all such projections of the curved earth's surface on a flat display have deficiencies, but the resultant pictures are nevertheless directly comparable with any normal map which uses orthogonal projection.
According to the present invention there is provided apparatus for processing a data signal in which data is non-linearly distributed with respect to time in a predetermined way, said apparatus including redistribution means for receiving the data signal and producing the data in digital form and means, connected to said redistribution means, for controlling the data production in accordance with a predetermined non-linear characteristic such that the produced data is distributed substantially linearly with respect to time.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of examples only with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of data processing apparatus embodying the linearising circuit;
FIGS. 2a to 2c are graphs illustrating the operation of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a second embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a third embodiment of the present invention.
Although the following description refers specifically to the Itos series of satellites, the invention is by no means restricted to the Itos satellite, and may be applied, for example, to other scanning radiometers. FIG. 1 relates to a system which will work with a picture printer operating at 96 lines per minute.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an analogue signal, comprising a video input signal is received in bursts of substantially constant frequency and length (FIG. 2a-IR channel) by data processing apparatus as shown in FIG 1. The data processing apparatus includes a data redistribution circuit R including data sampling means in the form of an analogue-to-digital converter 1, a shift register 2 and a digital-to-analogue converter 3.
Controlling the operation of the arrangement of converter 1, shift register 2 and converter 3 is controlling means C including a voltage controlled oscillator 4 whose control voltage characteristic (FIG. 2b) is produced by a shaping circuit comprising an up/down counter 5, a digital-to-analogue converter 6 and a diode shaping circuit 7. The output from the oscillator 4 is multiplexed with the output from an adjustable constant frequency oscillator 8 by means of a multiplexer 9. The output from the multiplexer 9 is connected to both the converter 1 and the shift register 2.
Control of the multiplexer 9 and of the shaping circuit is achieved by using detecting means and timing means having the respective functions of detecting a well-defined reference pulse in the video signal to provide synchronisation, and timing the operation of the apparatus from the detection of the reference pulse.
The detecting means comprises a reference pulse detector 10 having the capacity for detecting the reference pulse for either of the two time-multiplexed channels, IR and VIS, in the satellite depending on the position of switch 11. Thus the channel to be "linearised" can be selected by means of the switch 11.
A bistable 12 having an ON switch 13 and an OFF switch 14 is arranged to receive the output from the detector 10 and serves to open a gate 15 whenever the detector 10 indicates reception of a first reference pulse after closing of the switch 13. The opening of the gate 15 serves to pass a 1200 Hz clock pulse signal to a cycling counter 16 of the timing means. The counter 16 then counts from 0 to 1500 and then resets to 0 and starts counting again. This cycling of the counter 16 continues until the state of the bistable 12 is changed by means of the switch 14 to close the gate 15. Since, in this case, the satellite is moving at right angles to the scan, it is convenient to phase lock the 1200 Hz clock pulse signal to the sub-carrier of the satellite signal so as to compensate for the Doppler shift due to the satellite's motion.
Since, in this particular example, only a predetermined part of the satellite signal length in time is to be processed, i.e. � 20% about the part of the signal corresponding to the scanned portion directly under the satellite, a preset count detector 17 is arranged to detect when the counter 16 reaches a count of 61. The detector 17 is arranged then to operate a bistable 18 so that the latter causes a gate 19 to open and operates the multiplexer 9 so that the voltage controlled oscillator 4 takes over control of the converter 1 and shift register 2 from the oscillator 8 which, until now, has been in control.
The opening of the gate 19 serves to supply a 1200 Hz clock pulse signal (also phase locked to the satellite subcarrier) to the up/down counter 5 which counts from 0 to 195 and back down to 0 as determined by a bistable 20, a count 195 detector 21 and a count 0 detector 22. The latter supplies a reset pulse to the bistable 18 to cause the closing of the gate 19 and the operation of the multiplexer 9 to put the oscillator 8 back in control in place of the oscillator 4, when the count of the counter 5 has returned to 0. The bistable 20 determines whether the counter 5 is in the up or down state depending on whether the bistable 20 has had its state last changed by the detector 22 or the detector 21 respectively.
The count supplied by the counter 5 to the converter 6 causes the latter to produce an up/down ramp signal which is shaped in a predetermined manner by the diode shaping circuit 7.
The shaping of the control voltage characteristic is, in this example, according to the law relating the geocentric angle of the earth with the mirror angle of scan (which is proportional to time) and this law is given by the equation ##EQU1## where W = mirror angle of scan
R = earth radius
h = height of spacecraft
ψ = earth geocentric angle measured from a reference point on earth directly underneath the spacecraft.
This relationship can be used to identify the "true position" (i.e. the position relative to the reference point measured on a linear scale) of any place to which the radiometer attributes a particular angle of scan and a particular radiometer measurement. This enables a picture to be formed to a substantially linear scale in the direction of scan by re-locating data bits in the signal produced by the radiometer according to their true positions instead of their positions as seen by the scanning mirror.
The arrangement of converter 1, shift register 2 and converter 3 receives the video signal (see FIG. 2a -- IR channel) in which data is distributed in a non-linear manner with respect to time due to the manner in which the video signal is obtained which, in this example, is due to the scanning of the curved surface of the earth. The sampling means extracts data from the incoming video signal at intervals which are determined by means of the oscillator 4 and the shaping circuit so as to compensate for the non-linear data distribution i.e. where data is compressed such as at the portion of the satellite video signal corresponding to the scanned portion adjacent a horizon, the sampling means samples data at a higher rate than for a scanned portion directly under the satellite (see FIG. 2b) and, since the sampled data is then read out at a constant rate, the high frequency sampled portion of the video signal is effectively stretched in time (see FIG. 2c).
The sampled data is fed, in digital form, to the shift register 2, the read-in to the shift register being controlled by the oscillator 4 in phase with sampling by the converter 1. The shift register stores the sampled data until, at the end of the processing period (when the counter 5 returns to count 0), the data is read out at a constant rate from the shift register under the control of the oscillator 8. The converter 3 converts the digital read-out from the shift register into an analogue video signal which can be used to control a facsimile recorder such as a picture printer. The index of co-operation between the processing apparatus and facsimile recorder is determined by the rate of read-out which depends on the adjustment of the oscillator 8.
To enable a picture printer operating at 48 lines per minute (i.e. the read-out of a line is only half as fast as for the apparatus shown in FIG. 1) to be connected up to the apparatus described above, a modification to the apparatus is necessary as illustrated in FIG. 3.
Referring to FIG. 3, the processing apparatus shown is identical with that shown in FIG. 1 except in that the oscillator 8 has been transferred from the controlling means C to a modified data redistribution circuit R1.
The redistribution circuit has been modified by replacing the shift register 2 with a pair of shift registers 102, 103 arranged always to be in opposite operating modes to read in successive batches of sampled data alternately and to read out these batches alternately during the periods when they are not reading in. To control the alternation of the shift registers, a multiplexer 23 is provided between the converter 1 and the shift registers, a multiplexer 24 is connected between the shift registers and the converter 3 and multiplexers 25 and 26, operating in opposite modes, provide a multiplexed connection for the clock pulses from the oscillator 4 and from the oscillator 8, the latter now being connected to the multiplexers 25 and 26. The alternation of the multiplexers 23 to 26 is achieved by means of a bistable 27 which is switched by means of a clock pulse signal whose frequency corresponds to the number of lines of the picture per minute. Thus, in the time slot when the shift register 102 can read in, the shift register 103 can read out and in the time slot when the shift register 102 can read out the shift register 103 can read in. The read-out of a line can therefore occupy more time than with the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 where the read-out had to take place in the time slot between one data batch coming from the converter 1 and the next.
Referring to FIG. 4, a further modification of the processing apparatus is shown. The apparatus shown is identical with that shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 3 except in that the means controlling the data sampling now comprises a shaping circuit in the form of timing means and read-only memory both connected to a comparator. The read-only memory is programmed to trigger the comparator to provide a sample command sign whenever the timing means provides a predetermined indication of time to the comparator. The predetermined time indications with which the read-only memory is programmed are such as to distribute the sampled data in accordance with the appropriate law as in the case of the shaping circuit used in the apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.
In the apparatus shown in FIG. 4 the timing means comprises a constant frequency clock pulse signal generator 28 connected to a counter 29 supplying a digital time indication to a digital comparator 30. A second digital input to the comparator is provided by a read-only memory 31 programmed as described above.
The comparator output is connected to supply a sample command signal to the redistribution circuit 32 which may be the same as that shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 3. The comparator output is also arranged to reset the counter 29 each time the comparator is triggered and to supply a count pulse to a counter 33 which shifts the read-only memory to the next digital read-out in its programme. The sample command signal supplied to the circuit 32 is such that one data bit is sampled.
The apparatus described provides an effective, economical and reliable means for processing the satellite data in real time.
A system using a digital computer to compensate for non-linearities similar to those encountered here would involve considerably more expense than in the present invention. In addition, the need to operate in real-time would further increase the expense, by requiring considerably computer time for the whole satellite pass.

Listened to the post game interview of Iowa coach. His son had surgery to remove a tumor yesterday morning and coach had to leave and fly in to coach the game last night. Said Cuonzo, his staff, and all of the players came up to him and gave him a hug and let him know they were praying for his son and his family. That's class. Bravo Vols.

Yes, I think Mark needs some time off. It kind of doesn't even make
sense that Carter took off a while after a drug addiction treatment and
Mark went back to work almost right after his skull was opened!.
Luka is usually not my favorite, but I like him in many scenarios as well. Like the one he was in this episode. Sure, I am not sure one should always listen to a teenager who says he wants to die, but at least give hiss wish some respect. Also his interactions with the bishop were pretty well done.
I also liked Carter and Abby at the charity. Now, I like Abby was less than anyone else on the show but she seems to always be great when her ex husband shows up, then she is actually a fun character.

Export ribbon definitions
Applies To: CRM 2016 on-prem, CRM Online
To effectively define changes to the default RibbonXml, you must be able to reference the RibbonXml data that defines those ribbons.
If the Ribbon for your organization has been modified, you should export the current definitions if you intend to work with the customized ribbon elements. To do this, use the exportribbonxml sample located at SampleCode\CS\Client\Ribbon\ExportRibbonXml.
The default ribbon definitions for Microsoft Dynamics CRM can be found in the SDK package: SDK\Resources\ExportedRibbonXml. Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package.
The applicationRibbon.xml file contains the definition of the core application ribbons.
The remaining files contain the definitions used by entities that have ribbon definitions that differ from the entity template. Each file is named according to the name of the entity: logical entity name + Ribbon.xml.
These files represent the output of two messages using the Sample: Export ribbon definitions:
- RetrieveApplicationRibbonRequest
This message retrieves the core application ribbons including the entity template.
- RetrieveEntityRibbonRequest
This message retrieves the ribbon definition used for a specific entity.
The ribbon data is exported as a compressed file. To decompress the file into XML you have to use the System.IO.Packaging.ZipPackage class. The following example is a helper method used in the SDK sample to decompress the file.
''' <summary> ''' A helper method that decompresses the the Ribbon data returned ''' </summary> ''' <param name="data">The compressed ribbon data</param> ''' <returns></returns> Public Function unzipRibbon(ByVal data() As Byte) As Byte() Dim package As System.IO.Packaging.ZipPackage = Nothing Dim memStream As MemoryStream = Nothing memStream = New MemoryStream() memStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length) package = CType(ZipPackage.Open(memStream, FileMode.Open), ZipPackage) Dim part As ZipPackagePart = CType(package.GetPart(New Uri("/RibbonXml.xml", UriKind.Relative)), ZipPackagePart) Using strm As Stream = part.GetStream() Dim len As Long = strm.Length Dim buff(CInt(len - 1)) As Byte strm.Read(buff, 0, CInt(len)) Return buff End Using End Function
The application ribbon can be retrieved using the RetrieveApplicationRibbonRequest as shown in the following sample.
'Retrieve the Appliation Ribbon Dim appribReq As New RetrieveApplicationRibbonRequest() Dim appribResp As RetrieveApplicationRibbonResponse = CType(_serviceProxy.Execute(appribReq), RetrieveApplicationRibbonResponse) Dim applicationRibbonPath As String = Path.GetFullPath(exportFolder & "\applicationRibbon.xml") File.WriteAllBytes(applicationRibbonPath, unzipRibbon(appribResp.CompressedApplicationRibbonXml))
To retrieve the ribbon definition for entities, you can just include the name of the entity as a parameter to the RetrieveEntityRibbonRequest.
To retrieve the ribbon definitions for all entities that support the ribbon you need a list of those system entities that have ribbon definitions that vary from the entity ribbon template. The following sample shows an array of all the system entities that have ribbon definitions.
'This array contains all of the system entities that use the ribbon. Public entitiesWithRibbons() As String = {"account", "activitymimeattachment", "activitypointer", "appointment", "bulkoperation", _ "campaign", "campaignactivity", "campaignresponse", "competitor", "connection", "contact", _ "contract", "contractdetail", "customeraddress", "discount", "discounttype", "email", "fax", "goal", _ "importfile", "incident", "invoice", "invoicedetail", "kbarticle", "kbarticlecomment", "lead", _ "letter", "list", "listmember", "metric", "opportunity", "opportunityproduct", "phonecall", _ "pricelevel", "product", "productpricelevel", "queueitem", "quote", "quotedetail", _ "recurringappointmentmaster", "report", "salesliterature", "salesorder", "salesorderdetail", _ "service", "serviceappointment", "sharepointdocumentlocation", "sharepointsite", "systemuser", _ "task", "team", "territory", "uom", "uomschedule", "userquery"}
The following sample shows how to retrieve the ribbon definitions for a set of entities.
'Retrieve system Entity Ribbons Dim entRibReq As New RetrieveEntityRibbonRequest() With {.RibbonLocationFilter = RibbonLocationFilters.All} For Each entityName As String In entitiesWithRibbons entRibReq.EntityName = entityName Dim entRibResp As RetrieveEntityRibbonResponse = CType(_serviceProxy.Execute(entRibReq), RetrieveEntityRibbonResponse) Dim entityRibbonPath As String = Path.GetFullPath(exportFolder & "\" & entityName & "Ribbon.xml") File.WriteAllBytes(entityRibbonPath, unzipRibbon(entRibResp.CompressedEntityXml)) 'Write the path where the file has been saved. Console.WriteLine(entityRibbonPath) Next entityName
Any custom entities also support ribbon customizations. To get a list of custom entities, use the RetrieveAllEntitiesRequest and retrieve the names of custom entities. The following sample shows how to retrieve ribbon definitions for all custom entities.
'Check for custom entities Dim raer As New RetrieveAllEntitiesRequest() With {.EntityFilters = EntityFilters.Entity} Dim resp As RetrieveAllEntitiesResponse = CType(_serviceProxy.Execute(raer), RetrieveAllEntitiesResponse) For Each em As EntityMetadata In resp.EntityMetadata If em.IsCustomEntity = True AndAlso em.IsIntersect = False Then entRibReq.EntityName = em.LogicalName Dim entRibResp As RetrieveEntityRibbonResponse = CType(_serviceProxy.Execute(entRibReq), RetrieveEntityRibbonResponse) Dim entityRibbonPath As String = Path.GetFullPath(exportFolder & "\" & em.LogicalName & "Ribbon.xml") File.WriteAllBytes(entityRibbonPath, unzipRibbon(entRibResp.CompressedEntityXml)) 'Write the path where the file has been saved. Console.WriteLine(entityRibbonPath) End If Next em End Using

It happens once every four years, then goes away for another four, at least Stateside—World Cup fever. If you lack the attention span to watch a solid commercial-free 90 minutes for maybe a 1-Nil result and don't want to relearn all the names, rules, and strategies you tried to pick up the last time around, this Lego-ized montage of last weekend's US/England matchup is for you. Gotta love the way the video immortalizes English goalkeeper Robert Green's epic case of butterfingers in Lego! More hard-core soccer—um, football—geeks might appreciate that there's a whole website, Legofussball.eu, devoted to Lego reproductions of German league matches, in addition to a whole slate of World Cup 2010 games coming up. Just wondering when they'll add the Lego vuvuzelas.

Chances are, at some point in the last couple of years, you have seen animated rabbits re-enact at least one famous movie in thirty seconds. This is because of Jennifer Shiman. In 2004, the independent animator's website, angryalien.com, already had novel, interactive Flash-animated shorts such as Pigeon Kam, which showed the world through the eyes of a pigeon, and Amy's Diary, a re-telling of a child's diary. It was just a tiny blip on the internet's radar until she debuted a new feature, The Exorcist, as re-enacted by bunnies in 30 seconds. Slowly but surely, the success of this short, and its hilarious follow-ups of Jaws, The Shining, and most notably, Titanic, led to international attention. Spotlighted on CNN and the Today show, the "buns", as Shiman lovingly refers to them, garnered praise and requests from internet visitors from all over the world.
This led to a deal with Starz, who got exclusive first access to newer send-ups of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Sixteen Candles, No Country for Old Men, March of the Penguins, and others, which they aired on their website and during airings of the original movies on their cable network. In 2005, the Titanic short was included as a bonus feature of the 1997 movie's four-disc DVD re-release. As her website won Webby awards for Online Animation and the people's choice, Shiman denied rumors that the buns would move on to their own TV series or movie, saying that she hardly had the time. Still, the bunnies became quite an internet presence, with annual animated holiday "cards" featured on the website and official Twitter and Facebook accounts.
Now after six years and 68 re-enactments, Shiman announced that the upcoming Evil Dead II short would be the bunnies last, but "Never say never; we may be back some day with our interpretation of more movies." Stating that her partnership with Starz had ended, she left no reasons as to why, but revealed that she would continue work on other projects. Though this could start rumors about an upcoming TV special or series, all bunnies fans can do for now is see most of their work on the "30-Second Bunnies Theatre Collectible DVD", available at Amazon.com.
One of the finest actors of our time, Sir Ben Kingsley, shows all the young Hollywood starlets exactly how you nail an audition…in less than 30 seconds. Heidi Montag and Chris Klein: just give up. Massive blockbusters aren't usually synonymous with Sir Ben, but after flexing his theatrical muscles on Lopez Tonight recently, the whole world knows just who should be Megan Fox's replacement on Transformers 3.
Bill Corgan, Trent Reznor, and Radiohead got pawned quite a while ago. In the MP3 department, that is. Saxophonist and purveyor of M-Base funk-jazz Steve Coleman has had a great number of his out-of-print recordings sitting in his own corner of the internet, available for download, for quite some time now (the website looks a bit old, doesn't it?). Coleman defends his generosity in an essay where he rhetorically asks "Why should everything always cost something?"
Not everything is for the taking, but there is literally hours of exceptional stuff here that won't cost you a dime. Of particular interest is The Ascension of Light, an organic, intense, out-there album previously unreleased in the States. I've always wondered why American artists occasionally have certain releases only available as imports…
When Light Pollution's Jim Cicero locked himself inside his hangar one winter, he began building for himself a sonic universe that was untouched from the outside world. When the ice and snow of the Midwestern plains subsided, the ethereal debut album Appiritions.
Joining forces with Cicero is Matth Evert, Jed Robertson, and Nick Sharman and together they combine layer after layer of lush sounds to evoke that exhilarating yet frightening experience of being surrounded by pure darkness, like floating on top of the deepest, darkest ocean and looking down into its unfathomable abyss. It's claustrophobic, it's desolate, it's overwhelming, and it's pretty damn good.

I'm trying to code a script to set up programmatically various features of a new site including widgets, posts, pages and links. Most of this is working fine using add_option() and wp_insert_post() etc but I can't find anything in the Function reference like wp_insert_post() to enable programmatic creation or updating of bookmarks?
Is there a way to programmatically:
1. Insert a new bookmark, specifying name, URL, description etc
2. Manage link categories, i.e. rename, delete or create new categories?
thanks v much

Very flavorful, low fat & slightly spicy hot. Of course, I love hot food, so to some, it may be more "medium hot". I only marinated mine for about 45 minutes. Next time, I will marinate it for a few hours to soak up more of that great flavor. Definitely will have again!
This was delicious.
Very good but not a 5 star
This was a nice dish. I ended up grilling mine on our foreman since its still too cold out here, but it turned out wonderfully juicy and flavorful. It tastes "spicy" as most indian dishes do, but also very complex. You can taste hints of all the different spices rather than one standing out too much. I marinated ours most of the day. It comes out a lovely yellowish color that is sure to brighten any plate!
Excellent Indian Chicken! I loved the blending of the flavors. I marinated for about 6 hours so it had a chance to permeate the meat. Served with Indian rice and some Naan it was a great Indian dinner that my DH and I loved!
Excellent chicken! I almost always enjoy Indian spices, and this combination was very nice. I marinated vegetables in a similar spice mix (rice vinegar with cumin, ginger, coriander, and cayenne pepper) to serve with it.
I cook alot of East Indian. I haven't made this yet, but it sure sounds like Dancer knows what they are doing. I will be trying this one very soon
I used thin sliced chicken breasts and the recipe turned out wonderfully.
This was excellent! It was easy to put together and very low fat. Even with just an hour to marinate it was tasty; next time I'll plan ahead so it can sit longer. I couldn't grill, so I pan fried; and also skipped the final lemon baste.
i had problems with trying to get the marinade to penetrate the chicken in another grilling dish, so I made this one in the oven. It came out pretty good, but I think maybe if I grilled it a bit after it had cooked already, the flavor would have tasted even better. Thanks!

Retired Air Force general testifies the military 'should have tried' to save lives in Benghazi, while Nancy Pelosi calls renewed attention 'subterfuge' and 'a diversion'
- Gen. Robert Lovell told a congressional committee that commanders on the ground waited in vain for the State Department to ask for a strike team
- They also knew early on, he said, that the Benghazi compound was under a terrorist attack, and not the target of an anti-America protest
- Pelosi, the Democrats' top lawmaker in the House of Representatives, got testy when journalists peppered her with questions about Benghazi
- 'Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi: Why aren't we talking about something else?' she asked, calling questions a 'diversion' and 'subterfuge'
- Lovell's testimony comes days after a bombshell email surfaced showing White House involvement in shaping the post-Benghazi public narrative
A retired Air Force general told members of Congress on Thursday that military commanders 'should have tried' to mount a rescue operation as America's diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya was in flames and four U.S. personnel – including the ambassador – lost their lives.
'It was desperation there' in a military operation center in Germany, Gen. Robert Lovell told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. 'It was desperation to gain situational awareness and to be able to do something to save people's lives.'
A few corridors away, meanwhile, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told reporters at her weekly press conference that renewed discussion of the Obama administration's failings during and after the terror attack was 'a diversion.'
'If you all want to sit around and talk about Benghazi, you can sit around and talk about Benghazi,' she chided a room full of journalists before abruptly ending the event. 'But the fact is that's a subterfuge that they don't want to talk about jobs, growth, immigration reform, voting rights – you name it.'
Retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Lovell told Congress that the U.S. military should have mounted a rescue operation as the State Departmentâs buildings in Benghazi, Libya came under attack, but no request ever came
As the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi was in flames on the night of Sept. 11, 2012, military commanders debated what to do while they followed protocol and waited for the State Department to ask for help -- a request that never came
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi stammered Thursday while reporters pestered her for reactions to the week's news about the Obama administration's mishandling of Benghazi
Brigadier Gen. Robert Lovell was on duty in Germany during the terror attack on September 11, 2012, although he was officially attached to the United States Africa Command.
He testified in a hearing of the House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee that commanders waited in vain for an order from the State Department – which never came – to intervene and help, instead sitting on their hands.
'Outside of Libya there were discussions that churned on about what we should do,' Lovell said Thursday.
Musing on whether U.S. armed forces 'could ... have gotten there in time to make a difference,' he declared: 'The point is we should have tried.'
He cited a well-worn military maxim: 'Always move to the sound of the guns.'
'What we did know quite early on,' Lovell said, 'was that this was a hostile action. This was no demonstration gone terribly awry.'
Cue Pelosi, almost simultaneously: 'Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi: Why aren't we talking about something else?'
At the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was busily pointing reporters to conflicting 2013 testimony from former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen, originally offered behind closed doors but later unsealed.
Mullen said a State Department Accountability Review Board, which he co-chaired, 'looked at every single U.S. military asset that was there, and what it possibly could have done, whether it could have moved or not.'
'And it was in that interaction that I concluded, after a detailed understanding of what had happened that night, that from outside Libya, that we'd done everything possible that we could.'
U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens perished in the terror attack that gutted American diplomatic buildings in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012. Also killed (below, L-R) were Glen Doherty, Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods
Playing defense: White House press secretary Jay Carney continued to scramble Thursday but managed to dismiss Gen. Robert Lovell's claim that military intervention in Benghazi could have saved lives
Lovell insisted during a Q&A session that military brass 'briefly discussed' the potential impact on the attack of an anti-Muslim Internet video that had reportedly sparked riots in Cairo and elsewhere earlier in the week.
But leaders on the ground 'dismissed' the idea quickly, he said, while acknowledging early on that Ansar al-Shariah, an al-Qaeda-linked militant group, was at the heart of the attack.
The event, he said, 'was not – not – an escalation [of a protest]. It was an attack.'
He said he was testifying voluntarily in order to help bring a 'full forthcoming to the American people.'
'I felt it was my duty to come forward,' Lovell said. 'The circumstances of what occurred there in Benghazi that day need to be known.'
Thursday's hearing comes just two days after a bombshell email, scooped up by the watchdog group Judicial Watch in a Freedom On Information Act Lawsuit, showed internal White House calculations in the post-Benghazi emphasis on the anti-Muslim video.
Days after the attack a White House deputy national security adviser proposed briefing Susan Rice, then the UN ambassador, on how to point to the crude YouTube clip – and not Obama's policy failings – as the root cause for the loss of life.

What was Jesus' own personal view on the nature of the Scripture as far as the divine authority of the OT? Can his view on this issue be determined through his own use of it?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Jesus felt that Isaiah was authoritative:
We also have him quoting from Deuteronomy, compared to Matt 4:4 above, so he felt that it was authoritative.
We also have the Jesus seemed to believe that Isaiah was written by only one author:
which related to
and then compare Matthew 1:22-23 with Isaiah 7:14, about the prophecy regarding the birth of Christ.
In Matt 12:1-8 we see Jesus affirming the truthfulness and reliability of 1Samuel 2:16, Exodus 25:30, Leviticus 24:5-9, Numbers 28:9-10, Hosea 6:6, Genesis 2:3.
Then we have Matt 19:1-6 where Jesus reaffirms the Genesis creation account, about God creating man and woman.
Then we have Matthew 22:41–46 where Jesus is stating that David was inspired
So by going by just one Gospel we can see that Jesus felt the OT was authoritative, at least a representative sample of the OT.
My own personal answer would be no different than the one found here:
Here are some excerpts.
He considered it to be divinely inspired:
Since He considered it to be inspired by God, He considered it authoritative.

Two weekends ago, Damien Jurado and Richard Swift got a 4 track recorder and a Coles 4038 ribbon microphone and decided to record nine of the best cover songs you'll hear in a while.
The feel of the recording is so warm and every song sounds effortless. My personal favorite is their rendition of "If The Sun Stops Shinin'" by Chubby Checker (of "The Twist" fame).
You can stream and download (just click on tracklist) Other People's Songs, Vol. 1 HERE.
Damien US tour dates, after the jump! And don't forget, he and Swift will be touring the UK together. If they perform one of these covers… it would be just dynamite.

(CW, Mondays 8/7 Central)
Feb 18, 2014
Web Exclusive
Star-Crossed starts with an alien species, called the Atrians, crash landing in a small town. In the melee, with scared armed humans fighting the aliens, one of the young Atrian boys, Roman, runs away, ending up in a human family's garage where the daughter, Emery, looks after him until they are caught. Pan out to the big picture 10 years later, the Atrians are living on Earth, contained in an area called the Sector—a combination of Central Bangkok, Tokyo's Akihabara electronics district, and Harry Potter's Diagon Alley.
At this point in time, Emery (Aimee Teegarden) is returning to school after a four-year absence due to illness and Roman (Matt Lanter) is starting his first day of school as part of a social experiment integrating the Atrians into human society. This experiment is filled with the expected clashes between the species in the high school halls while both Emery and Roman are attempting to fit in. An encounter in the Sector between Roman and Emery's fathers results in the former's death and further conflict between the humans and the Atrians. The Atrians are split between the anti-humans and the pro-humans, the same way the humans are split between the anti-Atrians and the pro-Atrians.
Star-Crossed is a by-the-numbers, odds-against, inter-species, teenage love story. The human-looking Atrians have markings on their faces somewhere between artistic tattoos and skin stains, and are styled like sexy goths, like all otherworldly beings are highly attractive. And their human mates are almost as good-looking. Replace aliens with vampires and the armed guards with the Volturi and Star-Crossed is a slightly less insipid Twilight. At the very least, the acting is of a certain quality, especially with Friday Night Lights alums Teegarden and Damon, even if the writing fluctuates between the melodramatic and teenage vapidity. There are some unexpected twists in the plot that provide enough intrigue for the viewer to want to tune back in. But for Star-Crossed to continue, it has to keep twisting.

Consider the following code:
// create custom object
function myObject () {
this.count = 5;
this.countDown = countDown;
// member of myObject
function countDown () {
window.status = "Counter: "+this.count;
// create instance of myObject
var myCounter = new myObject ();
myCounter.countDown ();
// end of code
I call countDown using the myCounter instance of myObject. Window status bar displays a 5. All good so far.
window.setTimeout calls myCounter instance of myObject again, right? That was my intention, but it appears that when myCounter is executed the second time, it is no longer associated with myCounter, and the request for this.count is undefined at best.
How do I use window.setTimeout to call functions while maintaining their association to calling objects?
Thanks in advance!

Good 3.9 /5 from 64 reviews
quaint little hotel in old Montreal. Walk everywhere, great restaurants. Don't expect five star accomodations, but for the price, hard to beat. Friendly and helpful staff. Would stay here again.
I travelled to Montreal last weekend to the 30th Anniversary concert for Cirque du Soliel on Saturday. Anne ma souer Anne hotel was perfect for my short 2-day stay. The hotel was just around the corner from Saint John the Baptist Church where the concert was held. How amazing!!! I loved the Boho chic surroundings. I needed to be back in New York early Sunday morning & had a 7:00am flight out of Trudeau. The hotel assisted with getting a taxi at 4:30am and the clerk assisted me down those "awful" stairs :-). The efficiency of the room accommodated me perfectly. I plan to visit again...it would be great if the owners could do something about the stairs.
This is a small hotel in a good location on St. Denis. Convenient to the Metro. The morning croissants are special. Rooms are a little dusty, beds not very comfortable. Also located over a restaurant, so the cooking exhaust can be a problem if you are in a room facing the back. Parking lot is 2 blocks away which is ok in the summer, not the winter.
It was an awesome experience. The neighborhood is great for people who want to experience food and different sites. Its close to everything.
Great location, nice room, friendly staff. The only negative was that there was no air conditioning even though we had been told the room was air-conditioned.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us
