DHAKA Dec 6 Bangladesh bolstered their spin attack for the final two one-day internationals against West Indies by calling up left-armer Elias Sunny on Thursday.
"Sunny was added to the squad as we felt a spinner short in Wednesday's third match," said selector Minhajul Abedin. "West Indies were struggling against spinners but we were short of options. We missed Shakib badly in this game."
Bangladesh are without their main spinner Shakib Al Hasan, who was ruled out after aggravating an injury in his right shinbone during a test match in Khulna last month.
The home side won the first two ODIs in Khulna but missed a chance to seal the five-match series in the third match in Dhaka which they lost by four wickets.
The fourth ODI is in Dhaka on Friday. (Reporting by Azad Majumder; editing by Robert Woodward)

Have two individual sections. Most of us don't know if a picture is also a type of multimedia.

|"Rex Mundi" #15 on sale now (cover by Gerard Way)
Written by Arvid Nelson, âRex Mundiâ is an epic story set in an alternate history in which the Catholic church dominates Europe with Kabbalistic magic and its police force of Inquisitors. The Dark Horse series rockets toward its conclusion this week with the release of issue #15. Illustrated by Juan Ferreyra âRex Mundiâ was planned as a 38-issue miniseries (the first twenty issues of which were published by Image Comics) and will end with Dark Horseâs issue #19. With the first 35 installments now complete, time is running out for Dr. Julien Sauniere to find the Holy Grail and save Europe from the Duke of Lorraine's machinations.
CBR News spoke with Nelson about âRex Mundi,â its less-obvious religious influences, and the progress of Johnny Depp's planned film adaptation.
Two issues into Book 6, the final arc of the series, âRex Mundiâ is now entering the endgame. In issue #15, Lord Lorraine, Genevieve, and Julien Sauniere all experience certain reversals of fortune, while Teniers works toward his own ends and Isabelle finds new resolve.
Nelson said that the end of âRex Mundiâ represents the payoff to story threads that have been established throughout the series' run. âThe first side of the story, we were writing a lot of checks,â the writer told CBR News. âNow we're cashing them.â
Nelson also promised âlots of twists and turnsâ before the final issue. âOne of the characters is safe, that's what I promised myself from the beginning,â he said. âSome major characters will die, and some will die before story ends.â
Though Nelson has indicated that Book 6 will focus less on this world's history (which has by now been well established), the underlying quest for and mysteries surrounding the Holy Grail will play a key role in the resolution of âRex Mundi.â The religious aspect, too, remains close to the heart of the series, though some of its influences are less apparent than others. In particular, the writer's own Baha'i faith gives a particular shape to the story.
âI converted to Baha'i in college, so religion is interesting to me. I think it's an important part of the human experience, and will always be a important part of my writing,â Nelson explained. âI think there's a lot of emphasis today on how different the major religions are from each other, Christianity from Islam, from Buddhism, and so on. The way it's conceived is that there' s an unbridgeable gulf--but Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, they all share the same prophetic origins. This clash of cultures is not how itâs meant to be, it's not how they were originally framed. It's certainly not the Baha'i perspective.
|Pages from "Rex Mundi" #15
â'Rex Mundi' shows the similarities between the religions, the idea of religions being not so much confrontational as coming together. It emphasizes those things, that make them are a lot more similar, are a lot more important than the things that make them different.
âThere's also an even deeper level, allegorically, in Baha'i faith, which in a mystical sense goes back to Abraham,â Nelson continued. âGod said to Abraham, 'I will make prophets out of your descendants. That's plural. His sons were Ishmael and Isaac, and from Isaac eventually down the years we get Jesus and the Jewish prophets. From Ishmael, eventually we get Mohammed. Baha'i represents the reconciliation of these prophetic traditions into one unified religion. So in 'Rex Mundi,' Julien represents Mohammed's line, Lorraine represents Christ, and Genevieve is the unity.â
Nelson was quick to point out that the metaphor only goes so far. âIt's not a direct correlation--Jesus wasn't evil.â
âRex Mundiâ #15 sports a guest cover by âUmbrella Academyâ writer and My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way, and Nelson spoke admiringly of his fellow Dark Horse creator. âI love the cover,â he said. âGerard is a very nice guy, too. He puts a lot of work into 'Umbrella Academy.' 'He could just not take his time with it, it would still sell well. But it's actually a really good comic, which kind of shows the kind of guy he is.â
|Page from "Rex Mundi" #15
When last we spoke with Arvid Nelson, the writer discussed the film adaptation of âRex Mundi,â produced by and starring Johnny Depp. Nelson indicated that the film is âcoming alongâ but that âthe wheels of Hollywood grind slowly.â âWe are at a second revision of the screenplay, so that's good. The way this works is there are periods of feverish activity, followed by lulls,â he said. âWe're in one of the lulls now.â
Nelson said he would also like to develop his other current Dark Horse project, the âKullâ miniseries -- based on the R.E. Howard character -- into something similarly grand. He noted that whether or not this comes to fruition will depend on Dark Horse and the licensors, but that there is a plan for whole saga for Kull's life. âConan wanders around for years and becomes king eventually, but that was never the point of his life. Kull does have a driving force in his life,â Nelson explained. âWe are seeing this as a long-form miniseries like 'Lost' or like 'Heroes,' where every story is building toward some ultimate goal.â
âRex Mundiâ #15 is on sale now from Dark Horse.

LAS VEGAS -- Fighting heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis would be a hair-raising experience for most fighters.
David Tua's hair, though, is already plenty high enough.
Tua's spiky hairdo became an issue Wednesday, when handlers for Lewis complained to Nevada boxing officials about the unruly locks that stick out 5 inches or so from the top of the challenger's head.
''All of a sudden, hair has got something to do with the fight,'' Tua trainer Ronnie Shields said. ''David is not cutting his hair for anyone. His hair is natural.''
Even with the hair, Lewis still towered over the 5-foot-10 Tua at the final press conference before the two meet Saturday night for the WBC and IBF heavyweight titles held by Lewis.
Lewis himself didn't seem too concerned about either Tua's hair or the vaunted power that has earned the No. 1 challenger 32 knockouts in 38 fights.
''You can't just bring power and a hairdo,'' Lewis said. ''You have to bring everything. I bring an arsenal.''
The Lewis camp voiced concern at a Nevada Athletic Commission organizational meeting about Tua's hair, which sticks straight up from his head. Lewis will likely see a lot of it Saturday night as the shorter challenger moves his head about in an effort to get inside the bigger champion.
Commission executive director Marc Ratner said he wasn't going to make Tua cut his hair, as long as that is all there is on top of his head.
''We just wanted to make sure there wasn't concrete in his hair,'' Ratner said.
Lewis wears his hair in dreadlocks, which Shields suggested should also be cut if Tua's hair became an issue.
No way, said Lewis.
''I've got a Samson-like complex. Remember that,'' Lewis said.
The hairy dispute added to an entertaining final press conference that saw both fighters get plenty of laughs while confidently predicting victory.
Lewis is a 3 1/2-1 favorite to retain his titles against Tua (37-1), a Samoan native who lives in New Zealand and is the No. 1 challenger for both organizations.
Lewis stopped his last two challengers in the second round, and many believe he is coming into his prime at the age of 35. But Tua has never been knocked out or knocked down and is a relentless fighter in the style of Mike Tyson.
''David Tua can punch but Lennox Lewis can do everything else and he can also punch,'' Lewis trainer Emanuel Steward said. ''He'll go into the history books as one of the great heavyweight champions in boxing. He's up there with Muhammad Ali in terms of talent.''
Steward's remarks came after Tua co-trainer Kevin Barry read a prepared statement praising his fighter's mental and physical toughness and predicting that he had more than enough power and talent to beat Lewis.
When Lewis took his turn at the podium, he asked Barry for the speech, then tore it up for the cameras.
''Fiction. I only read reality,'' Lewis said.

MemphisVisitor on 07/17/2015
I woke up in the middle of my last night at the hotel (in August 2014) and saw a bedbug on the bed. I took a photo of it and decided to sleep curled up in the desk chair. I didn't realize that I'd already been bit. In the morning I checked out and showed the photo to the person at the front desk. She took one night off the bill. Thankfully none of my items got infested, but it was still a horrible experience.
Manager on 09/05/2011
There has never been a bedbug problem at this hotel, Terminix applies an annual prevent measure, the report of a problem of this sort is simply not true.

Two men were arrested at 3:36 p.m. Friday in the 50 block of Robinhood Drive after police noticed a stolen car in the driveway.
Police tried to get someone to answer the door, but no one did, so they blocked off the street for a time, waiting for the home-owner to come home.
When police got inside, they arrested Scott Schulte, 38, of the Robinhood address, with obstructing official business. Jerry Bohrer, 51, of North Bon Air Avenue in Youngstown, was charged with receiving stolen property and obstructing official business.
He also was wanted on warrants. Boardman Sgt. Paul Grimes said officers noticed a stolen car in the area, then saw it parked at the Robinhood address.

I've seen a bunch of questions over time about what it takes to get Team Foundation Server (TFS) components installed. Because it varies by component, the answer is usually rather lengthy and takes long enough to fully describe that eyes start glazing over, heads start nodding, and the utility of the information is basically reduces to a (very) small hill of beans. So, over the next few posts I'll review specific prerequisites (a.k.a. "prereqs" to their friends) for the TFS components. I'll be refering to the Team Foundation Install Guide left, right, top, bottom, and center (possibly front and back, too, but don't hold your breath), so I recommend you download it so you can play along at home. Also, it's pretty useful in its own right.
Today, we start with the all important operating system. I'm going to gloss over the hardware requirements since they're all listed on the pages I reference. If you're interested, feel free to read up on it at the source. Each TFS component has its own specifications for what it can and cannot be installed over, so we'll break them down by categories:
I hope there aren't too many nodding heads and glazed eyes- it's very tough to condense all of this down, especially when you enjoy words as much as I do. Next time we'll investigate what other software must be installed prior to TFS. Stay tuned!

Chat with Tim Graham
Welcome to SportsNation! On Friday, ESPN.com AFC East blogger Tim Graham will drop in to chat about all the latest news from the NFL.
Graham joined ESPN.com in 2008 after covering the Miami Dolphins for the Palm Beach Post. He previously spent eight years at the Buffalo News, where he was an award-winning NHL and boxing writer. The Baldwin-Wallace College grad also has worked for the Las Vegas Sun and Boston Herald.
Send your questions for Graham now and join him on Friday at 3 p.m. ET!

Tim Graham (3:01 PM)
Hello from Graham Central Station. What does everybody want to yap about?
Scott A Lange (Colorado Springs, CO)
Lets kill some time at work!
Mike Onevelo (Niagara Falls)
What's your opinion on the Bills drafting Cam Newton? I haven't seen but I have heard he has been pretty inconsistent so far while doing Pro workouts.Trying to get better accuracy while also learning an NFL playbook and adjusting to the NFL speed makes me worry about the Bills' so called interest in Cam Newton.
Tim Graham (3:02 PM)
Ryan Fitzpatrick on the roster means the Bills wouldn't be forced to use Cam Newton right away. Nobody argues about Newton's athleticism. To have a veteran quarterback with strong leadership skills in place makes for a great place for a player such as Newton to get NFL-ready.
Eddie (NYC)
First, thx for following FB etiquette and accepting my friend request even though we would not say hi if we met in person.Second, Phil Taylor looks like he could play a 3-4, but the Redskins hate Albert Haynesworth. I know he doesn't wanna play a 3-4, but then again Tomlinson wanted to play for the Vikings at first. Could the Jets make a trade for him and convince him to play 3-4.
Tim Graham (3:05 PM)
My pleasure, Eddie. I have chats with people I went to high school with 22 years ago and didn't interact with back then. Funny how social networking changes the way we communicate. I'm sure the Jets COULD trade for Albert Haynesworth, but why would they take on that contract for a player who may or may not be able to play in your defense? Doesn't make any sense to me.
Prince Qinkin (Boston)
If you were the Fins at 15, and you had the choice of Ingram or Mallett, which would you chose, and why?
Tim Graham (3:07 PM)
Interesting question because in a normal year the Dolphins could take Ingram in the first round and use their second-round pick on a quarterback. But they don't have a second-rounder this year. If -- and that's a big if -- the Dolphins determine they want Ryan Mallett (or any other QB), then they should draft him at No. 15 and not worry about whether or not they're reaching. They can get a running back later in the draft. But my pick here would be Mike Pouncey.
Eric (Buffalo)
Any inside information to report on the Bill's draft targets Timmy?
Tim Graham (3:07 PM)
There's no such thing as inside pre-draft inside information. It's all speculation and hearsay.
Scott A Lange (Colorado Springs, CO)
If the Bills pick Von Miller at 3, is that the end of Maybin's time in Buffalo?
Tim Graham (3:10 PM)
Not quite. Chan Gailey (on Tuesday) and Buddy Nix both have said Aaron Maybin will be back in 2011. My question about drafting Von Miller would be the amount of money the Bills already have invested at outside linebacker: Shawne Merriman, Chris Kelsay and Maybin. They need to spread that money to some other positions.
Mark Ingram (Miami)
Can I say no if the Dolphins draft me? Do you think I'd start over Lex or Pat Cobbs?
Tim Graham (3:11 PM)
I do believe Ingram would start ahead of Lex Hilliard and Patrick Cobbs. Hilliard has been nothing special. Cobbs is a favorite of Tony Sparano, but that's because of the way he plays special teams and does the dirty work like blitz pickups and the occasional catch out of the backfield.
Jason (Chapel Hill)
How much truth is there in the theory that Free Agents don't want to come to Buffalo because of the weather?
Tim Graham (3:12 PM)
That plays into it, but the real problem is the fact they don't win.
Jason (Chapel Hill)
Do you think a coach can really make the difference in a close game? How many wins do you think Gailey will get the Bills?
Tim Graham (3:14 PM)
Head coaches make the biggest difference from Monday through Friday in getting their teams prepared. On game days, clock management is a big deal. ... I don't see Chan Gailey as a liability at all, but it's not often you can hang a win or a loss in a close game specifically on the head coach. The players still decide the game.
The Chat Queen (Toronto)
Out of the big 4 sports, nfl coaching has the greatest influence. Bill Belichick's emphasis on situational football is one of this greatest strengths. Coaching in a close game makes all the difference.
Tim Graham (3:15 PM)
The first part is correct. But situational coaching is done in OTAs, training camps and during the week.
Kevin (Lockport)
I heard Andre Reed is announcing the Bills 3rd pick at Radio City...Is the NFL doing this with the early picks so Goodell doesn't get booed?
Tim Graham (3:16 PM)
That's an interesting theory, but the NFL has used star alumni to announce draft picks before.
Larry (Visalia Ca)
Did/do the Dolphins have a real speedster at RB/KR that got hurt before the season started?
Tim Graham (3:17 PM)
You're thinking of Kory Sheets, who was dazzling in camp last year. But he's coming off a shredded Achilles. No guarantees there.
Larry (Visalia Ca)
Is there any buzz about Carlson Palmer getting traded to Miami?
Tim Graham (3:18 PM)
There's plenty, but I doubt it happens. The Bengals seem adamant they'll keep him, and owner Mike Brown is a man of conviction.
Matt (Rochester NY)
Have you heard anything from Chad P since the ACL Tear? Talk about bad luck - Would have any interest being a Coach/Adviser?
Tim Graham (3:21 PM)
I have not. I reached out to him when I heard about the injury, but he didn't call back, which isn't unusual. Players aren't too chatty right after an injury. He was scheduled to have surgery Thursday, so it's too soon to know what the future holds for him.
Jim (NY)
I heard something on radio the other day about the Bills being interested in Kevin Kolb for a swap of 1st round picks and Philly's 2nd round pick. Assuming the lockout is resolved of course, do you see any merit in this?
Tim Graham (3:21 PM)
The Chat Queen (Toronto)
What do you think is the greatest offensive need of the Patriots?
Tim Graham (3:22 PM)
I'm a big proponent of solidifying the offensive line. Some point to speed receiver, but I'm not sold that's a pressing need. Running back is a position to watch.
The Chat Queen (Toronto)
I agree, got to make sure Tommy is protected!
Tim Graham (3:24 PM)
Right guard Stephen Neal retired, left tackle Matt Light is a free agent and left guard Logan Mankins still sounds like he wants out (the last we heard). Even if Light comes back, he's getting up there in years for a left tackle.
Dan (SF)
Tim, you posted an article with some comparisons between Buffalo and Miami. By record, BUF was the worst team MIA lost to, while MIA was the best team BUF beat. The Bills seem to be getting a lot of credit for barely losing to three playoff teams, but MIA had a controversial loss to one of the same playoff teams and beat two others (including the eventual champs). Why does this angle have any legs?
Tim Graham (3:25 PM)
The Dolphins won a single home game. The Bills went 4-4 in the second half. And the close losses do count for something. The Bills got better as the season went on. The Dolphins got worse.
Jon (WA)
Hey Tim, just thought I'd let you know good job on the EAST! Huge Dolphins fan but cant talk football due to nothing happening...zzzz
Tim Graham (3:26 PM)
Thanks for the kind words and for dropping by in purgatory. It's going to get tough to do chats every week when there aren't any developments. I hope things turn around soon.
Larry (Visalia Ca)
Do you think Kolb is an upgrade to Henne?
Tim Graham (3:27 PM)
Not necessarily. They seem like similar quarterbacks to me. And even if Kolb is better, is he worth trading big picks? I don't see him as a major enough upgrade to give up assets.
Sean (NJ)
Even if the Dolphins could get Palmer would you want to? I dont know I actually like the guy and all but the production values just is not there for me. Your thoughts?
Tim Graham (3:29 PM)
Funny that you ask that just as I posted my last comment ... Same line of thinking for me as with Kolb. While Palmer definitely would be an upgrade over Henne, would it be worth trading a premium draft pick for a guy who has never won a playoff game? Not in my mind.
Kevin (Lockport)
Any truth to the rumors that youre replacing Matt Lauer on the Today Show?
Tim Graham (3:30 PM)
My agent has advised me not to comment at this time.
The Chat Queen (Toronto)
Sean- depends on how much it would cost. He would definitely be an improvement.
Kevin (Lockport)
More legendary Buffalo announcer: Rick Jeanarette or Van Miller?
Tim Graham (3:31 PM)
I'll have to go with Van Miller because you spelled his name correctly.
Ron (Warwick Rhode Island)
Kolb? Palmer? Henne? Rookie? What would you do if you were making decisions for Miami at QB?
Tim Graham (3:32 PM)
I'd prepare for 2011 as though Henne will be the starter and draft another if I could. But the Dolphins are in a bit of bind. No. 15 looks like no-man's land for quarterbacks, and they don't own a second-rounder.
Joe (NJ)
Tim, why is there so much negative talk about Chad Henne? If you cmpare his stats to Mark Sanchez, they are better. Whats the deal?
Tim Graham (3:33 PM)
Wins are a stat.
Rawnt (Utah)
It seems to me that Henne is going to be starting for Miami this year.
Tim Graham (3:33 PM)
That has been my prediction. Then again, status quo generally is the safest bet on the board.
Matt (Augusta, GA)
How do you think the older players are feeling about not potentially playing this year - frustrated because they are getting a year older, or relieved that they may get to rest their bodies for a year before playing again?
Tim Graham (3:36 PM)
At the moment, players aren't broken up at all about not having to report to the team facility for conditioning or the idea of having OTAs canceled. But the older players will start to get nervous if the lockout drags on. And it's not only the ones at the ends of their careers ... Think about a guy like Tom Brady. He's still an elite quarterback, but he won't be forever. I'm sure he's dreading the idea of wasting a season in his prime.
Dan (SF)
The flipside of Miami's 1-7 home record is their 6-2 road record (Buffalo was 2-6). Is it really just an issue of "what have you done for me lately?" Remember, in the same timeframe that BUF was 4-4, MIA was 3-5, and MIA had a better PF/PA in the same time frame (even with the worse record).
Tim Graham (3:37 PM)
And what about the organizational dysfunction? The Bills are a much more stable franchise at the moment.
Tim Graham (3:38 PM)
The Dolphins are a mediocre team. The Bills are getting better. It might bother you that the teams are so close, but that's certainly how it looks.
Matt (CA)
"And what about the organizational dysfunction? The Bills are a much more stable franchise at the moment"....I can't believe I just read this, I feel like I'm in an episode of the twilight zone.
Scott A Lange (Colorado Springs, CO)
Wow, anyone less stable than the Bills front office is in trouble
Zorgon Wafflemaker (Tekeli Li)
The Bills still have Ralph Wilson, and they still don't know how to draft. Look at the pick they wasted on Spiller! Miami's drafted well the last three times around, and you can't say that for the Bills. I'd rather have Miami's organization any day.
Tim Graham (3:42 PM)
Miami has not drafted well. Pat White? Patrick Turner? Jared Odrick (will he get on the field this year?), Phillip Merling, Chad Henne ... Those are first- and second-rounders. Yes, they did well with Jake Long. It's tough to screw up No. 1 overall. But they aren't exactly hitting on picks like the 1970s Steelers.
Sean (NJ)
Mediocre is a bit strong the Dolphins have needs yes, but our defense is really solid and we have some pieces on offense I think the Bills still have more needs than the Fins no?
Tim Graham (3:44 PM)
At 14-18 the past two years, mediocre is kind. ... Yes, the Bills do have more needs, but they have a head coach they didn't want to replace and a quarterback they're happy with.
Zorgon Wafflemaker (Tekeli Li)
Vontae Davis, Sean Smith.. just two of the players you overlooked, Tim. C'mon, full disclosure!
Tim Graham (3:46 PM)
I was making a point that they've misfired. And I wouldn't say Sean Smith was a strong pick. He lost his job last year to Jason Allen, a player they eventually cut.
Zorgon Wafflemaker (Tekeli Li)
Gailey is 4-12, and Fitzpatrick is only there until they can find an approximately good QB. That's hardly a defense worth offering of the Bills!
Tim Graham (3:47 PM)
And yet they beat the Dolphins in Sun Life Stadium. Go figure. ... Look, you can stick up for your team all you want. I'm just calling it as I see it. The Dolphins are a lot closer to the Bills than they are the Jets or Patriots.
Dan (SF)
The organization is a fair criticism, but I doubt Chan Gailey was making the argument that he and Nix are better than Sparano and Ireland (even if that may be true). People seem to legitimately believe that Buffalo's players are better than Miami's; you implied that they finished strong even though they lost their last two games by a score of 72-10.
Tim Graham (3:49 PM)
Gailey made his point perfectly clear: They almost beat the Dolphins in Orchard Park and beat them in Miami. That's a reasonable justification that they're equals.
Tim Graham (3:50 PM)
Miami's last two games, by the way ... They gave up 34 points to the Lions at home and got destroyed by the Patriots who had nothing to play for.
Ron (Warwick Rhode Island)
But the Dolphins beat the Jets and lost to the Jets, but they aren't equal. Kind of being hypocritical...no?
Tim Graham (3:52 PM)
If you're a blind homer and want to forget that the Jets went to the AFC East Championship Game. Then, sure, I guess.
jake (miami)
who cares about whos better Miami or Buffalo were really arguing whos 2nd to last in a divison.
Tim Graham (3:53 PM)
It appears to have struck a nerve.
Anthony (NYC)
Tim with the Jets previous five year history in the draft, which player would they most likely trade up for?
Tim Graham (3:55 PM)
They don't own a second-round pick and can't trade players without a CBA in place. Trading up will be next to impossible.
Tim Graham (ESPN)
My Favorite Team Is _________.
Tim Graham (3:55 PM)
Don't have one. I grew up a Browns fan in Cleveland but stopped caring when they moved to Baltimore.
Alex (Long Island)
Did you ever find out the penalty the Dolphins received for Chad Henne chatting with the coaches?
Tim Graham (3:56 PM)
It was reported two weeks ago: $15,000 fine.
J Kirk (CA)
No love about the Peterson question???
Tim Graham (3:57 PM)
Didn't see it. Hundreds of questions pour in during a chat. I probably see one out of 15.
Eric (Buffalo)
Months ago the Bills made a big announcement about new uniforms and an unveiling ceremony. That is the last I heard about it. What's the scoop? PS gotta go RJ over Van Miller by a razor's edge
Tim Graham (3:59 PM)
I'm sure they'd love to have the CBA settled before they do the unveiling. It would be tough to model the uniforms without players. I'd also have to go with Rick Jeanneret, too, but I'm biased there. I consider him a good friend.
Dan (SF)
I suppose if not getting swept is a reasonable justification of equality, then Gailey has a point. But I don't see how a 5-point loss in Buffalo and a 3-point win in Miami means the Bills are just as good, particularly when they beat nobody else of consequence. If you look at the teams Miami beat and the teams Buffalo beat, it's not much of a comparison.
Tim Graham (4:00 PM)
You're trying way too hard. Nobody said Buffalo was better.
Tim Graham (4:00 PM)
Or at least I didn't.
Tim Graham (4:01 PM)
But if anybody should be able to understand how close a bad team is to overtaking a good team, you'd think it would be a Dolphins fan -- 2007 wasn't that long ago.
Larry (Visalia Ca)
Miami Fan here... Buffalo is better
Tim Graham (4:01 PM)
Well, there you have it.
Gus (Boston)
What's the point of even arguing whose better/worse out of the Dolphins and Bills? As long as Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are with the Pats and Rex Ryan is with the Jets, neither of those teams are making the playoffs.
Tim Graham (4:02 PM)
The point is that there's nothing of substance to discuss these days. If this is what the readers want to talk about, I'll oblige.
dan (gainesville)
I think I saw it on the AFC East blog, but there was an interesting piece on dropped interceptions, comparing how many Sanchez had and how many Henne had in 2010, with Sanchez leading in luck and Henne being not so lucky. If you add these intercpetions to Sanchez's stats he doesn't look so hot anymore. My question is how successful would Henne be in the Jet's system and Sanchez vice versa? Are our assessments of them based on their attributes or what they have around them?
Tim Graham (4:04 PM)
Excellent question. I think Henne would look much better in the Jets' system because they let their quarterback take chances down the field.
kadzimiel (Boston)
Well, the Dolphins made the playoffs in 2008, and Belichick was pretty definitely with the Patriots then......
Tim Graham (4:04 PM)
And won 11 games without Tom Brady.
J Kirk (CA)
Peterson at #7 too risky to take for the 49ers because of his size possibly having to convert him to safety?
Tim Graham (4:05 PM)
I highly doubt Peterson still is on the board at No. 7. I know Mel Kiper and Todd McShay have him going to the 49ers there, but ...
Tim Graham (4:07 PM)
Cornerbacks are a premium position and he's the best in this year's draft class. Some have wondered if he deserves to be the No. 1 pick. Just my opinion. I've been wrong before.
Josh (Beverly,MA)
Why in the world are people still talking about Peterson converting to safety? Sure he's big, but he has elite ball skills and speed. He can match up with any receivers 1v1. I'd want him as the number one corner in B-Lo
Justin (Boston)
Speaking of Patriots, do they need a running back in the first two rounds? How important is it?
Tim Graham (4:09 PM)
If any team has proven you do not need to draft a running back early, then it's the Patriots.
Ron (Warwick Rhode Island)
I'm 28 and battling colon cancer. 4 more treatments of chemo and I should win (hopefully). I'm trying to raise money for the Colon Cancer Alliance. Here's a link if anyone wants to help out. http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/ameliadecesare/racing-for-ron
Tim Graham (4:10 PM)
Best of luck, Ron.
Matt (CA)
How about some hockey talk before you go...The Sabres have been playing well since Jan, what do you think there chances are for advancing deep in the playoffs, maybe even a cup appearance...or am I fooling myself with my homerism?
Tim Graham (4:12 PM)
They have been playing such a solid game lately, I don't think anything is impossible. They can pull an upset or two. And let's not forget Lindy Ruff is masterful when he doesn't have home-ice advantage. He always seems to win one of the first two games on the road and turns the tables.
Jason (FT DRUM, NY)
Keeping Fighting Ron! You're in our prayers!
Tim Graham (4:13 PM)
Hey, Matt. Try sending that Marv Levy poem again. The one you submitted looks like hieroglyphics.
Jason (FT DRUM, NY)
It seems alot of people do not think Fitzpatrick is the franchise for Buffalo and that they will draft a QB likely in the second round. Who do you think is the best pick?
Tim Graham (4:15 PM)
In the second round, probably Christian Ponder or Jake Locker. But with Locker a team needs to be really comfortable it has the coaching to correct his accuracy issues.
Tim Graham (4:16 PM)
No go, Matt. You must be copying-and-pasting from somewhere with a weird code or font. Put it in Notepad or something first to "launder" it.
Matt (CA)
Best of luck Ron, Here is a poem Marv used to tell his players:Fight on my men, Sir Andrew says,A little I'm hurt, but yet not slain;I'll but lie down and bleed awhile,And then I'll rise and fight again.
Tim Graham (4:18 PM)
There it is ... Have a great weekend everybody. Ron's note puts everything in perspective. Make it a point today to call somebody you love and tell them so.

text: The Mysteios started as a side project for Johnny Mystery, former bassist with Blackcat Elliot and included an ever changing line up of local guest artists. The current band began to take shape in late 2008 with the production of the album 'Pronounced Misty-Ohs'. This album included Johnny, Professor Moe B. and 'Tambourine Girl" Sam and was produced by Vermont natives Bitch Kitty. The spring of 2009 saw the Mysteios unique sound take shape with the inclusion of Mark LaRose of The Chris Biscone Band on drums and vocals, and the multi-talented Manfred Manslaughter on the keys. A new line-up was in place in Sept. 2011, with Mark LaRose moving to drums, and Jo Agpovich on bass. February also saw the release of a 45 single 'Bustin' Up Everything!'.

Just started using FAQS.
When I use the search function, why does it redirect to another page on our website labeled NEWS?
Just started using FAQS.
When I use the search function, why does it redirect to another page on our website labeled NEWS?
How do you have your FAQ homepage set up in the settings?
I used the default with faqs so the adddress is http://www.sitelink.com/faqs
Does you standard WordPress search function normally? If not I will give you a few suggestions to try.
Currently our website does not have a search function.
In that case, here are some suggestions to try:
1. Enable the default WP search and test it. If it does the same thing as the FAQ search then the problem is either a WP setting somewhere, or there is a problem with your template. Otherwise, go to the next step:
2. Go to your permalinks settings. Do not change anything, just save the permalinks and then test the search. If that does not work:
3. Deactivate a single plugin at a time and test the FAQ search. If it works properly after deactivating a specific plugin then you know that plugin is the cause. If it still acts the same after deactivating a plugin, you can reactivate that plugin and go to the next one. If this does not work:
4. Deactivate and uninstall Q and A Focus Plus and then re-install and activate it. Test the search after activating the new install.
See if the latest update works.
I am still looking at the 4 suggestions above.
The latest update did not fix the issue though.
I had to get some assistance from the web company who migrated us to WP.
Here is his comment:
The plugin uses the default wordpress search. We didn't have a search on the site, so there was no template to display the search, so the site displayed the default template for the page, which is where the news header came from.
REDACTED - Looks like you got is working.

I've set up my template to display links to the Child Pages of a Parent in the sidebar - but only when you are viewing that Parent. At the moment I'm using the following code:
<ul class="block">
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"; else
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) { ?>
<?php echo $children; ?>
<?php } ?>
And everything is working fine...
But, I would like to display the title of the Parent page above these links to the Children...
I'm new to PHP and I'm still trying to get my head around it...I understand enough to know that the top part of the PHP code is determining whether or not the page is a child, and that the part on the bottom calls the function to either display the child links, or not. I'm just unclear where to add a snippet of code to basically say:
IF child page THEN display PARENT-TITLE above child links in h2
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The mainland's top environmental watchdog has stepped up its crackdown on lead pollution after a spate of poisonings, saying it will stop approval of environmental assessment studies in cities with major pollution problems.
The new notice issued by the Environmental Protection Ministry on Wednesday also said executives of companies using the toxic heavy metal element would be held accountable in cases of contamination.
Xinhua reported that prefecture-level cities identified as having lead-poisoning problems would be heavily criticised and have environmental impact assessment applications for all new construction projects halted. Also, production would be immediately suspended if businesses were found to be heavy polluters. Local government leaders would also be held responsible.
Lead poisoning can lead to diseases of the heart, bone and nervous systems, and it is particularly toxic to children.
In recent years, China has been hit by hundreds of heavy-metal pollution incidents. The new notice was issued after more than 69 children were found to have excessive lead levels in their blood. The villagers who live close to a battery factory in Zijin county Heyuan city, Guangdong, returned lead levels as high as 600 micrograms per litre of blood, far in excess of the 100 mcg limit.
It was the second lead-pollution scandal on the mainland in recent weeks. In the other incident, the central government took over an investigation into lead pollution involving one of the biggest battery factories in Deqing county in Huzhou city, Zhejiang province, where at least 99 children were found suffering from lead poisoning, Environmental Protection Ministry spokesman Tao Detian criticised the local county government for its lax monitoring and failure to evacuate residents.
The motorcycle battery factory - the Zhejiang Haijiu Battery Company - was ordered to halt production on April 29. The company's representative was arrested and local officials held accountable, but details of punishments were not released.
Tao said the ministry had also suspended approving environmental assessments of Huzhou city, and cancelled the county's designation as an ecological zone.
But Professor Wang Canfa of the China University of Political Science and Law, said he was not impressed with the scale of crackdown.
'This is merely a working notice alerting officials within the environmental protection system to pay attention to lead poisoning. It's not even a legally binding regulation,' Wang said.
He said the mainland had long banned large-scale environmental pollution, so the latest move just highlighted old regulations.
'The government should set up a new anti-pollution law covering a wider sector by giving the public a formal legal weapon in seeking compensation for any bodily harm caused by environmental pollution,' Wang said. 'Only this will be enough of a deterrent to pressure businesses to behave.'

I am interested in optimization at runtime by a VM and at compile-time. I have had the idea that optimizations are most efficient and easiest at compile-time.
However, my thought seems to be false in certain circumstances. This is evident in Steve Yeggie's statement quoted by Daniel
[O]ptimization is often easier when performed at runtime by a clever virtual machine - -.
Why is the optimization easier when performed at runtime by a VM than at compile-time?

Shaking The Nuts Will Only Make It Worse
I'm a bit of a particular eater, in a way. For instance, I eat the things I like least first, instead of going for my favorite bits right off the bat. That's why I'm constantly frustrated by mixed nuts. To me, the peanuts are the least interesting part, so I want to eat them first. But they're always at the bottom of the can, with a layer of delicious pecans, cashews and almonds concealing them. And when I try to shake the can to at least achieve an even distribution, it just gets worse!
Thanks to Andrea James at BoingBoing, I now know why. She posted this video from the University of Nottingham explaining "the Brazil nut effect."
So I guess if I added water I could at least sort the peanuts out ... If only that wouldn't kill their delicious saltiness!

Whether by accident or by design, every film festival tends to stumble onto a trend or two. At this year's SXSW, the big trend was time travel. Three films that played the festival dealt with characters jumping through time for reasons both selfish and selfless, which each movie tackling their shared genre in a completely different way.
But why time travel? As you watch The Infinite Man, Predestination and Premature, the answer becomes clear. Unlike most science fiction tropes, time travel can be accomplished on a low budget. All you need is a smart script and a cool prop that you can claim is a time machine and you're good to go. Low budget time travel adventures aren't new — both Primer and Timecrimes made up for their small budgets and limited scope with huge ideas and exciting screenplays.
Of the three films, The Infinite Man is undoubtedly the smallest. The feature debut of Austrian writer/director Hugh Sullivan, the film abandons the high stakes usually associated with time travel and goes for something much smaller and more personal. Shot on one location with only three characters, the film follows a scientist named Dean who attempts to remedy a romantic weekend gone horribly wrong with his brand new time machine. As you'd expect, things get complicated and soon there are multiple Deans from multiple timelines running around, getting in each other's way and generally making life difficult for our Dean.
There's whimsical humor on display in The Infinite Man that recalls the screwball comedies of classic Hollywood, but the quirky performances and scenes of relationship deconstruction are all post-Sundance. It's a combination that works more often than not and star Josh McConville is adept at playing lovable buffoons and confident men-of-action, often in the same scene and opposite himself. The film is so fun and cute that it's easy to forgive the rougher edges. You'd expect any time travel movie to have its fair share of logic gaps and plot holes, but The Infinite Man asks us to believe in certain character decisions that exist outside of normal human behavior. At some points, the humanity of The Infinite Man is sacrificed to feed the constantly deepening and twisting plot. In the end, it's all a little too clever for its own good.
As complex as The Infinite Man gets, it really has nothing on Predestination, an adaptation of the infamously complicated Robert Heinlein short story All You Zombies. Those who are familiar with the original story will know what to expect (it's practically a line-for-line translation with only a few new elements added) but fresh viewers should be wary — this is not the film you think it is from the basic premise.
The basic premise is this: a time traveling "Temporal Agent" (Ethan Hawke) embarks on his final mission, which sees him journeying to the 1970s and posing as a bartender. A patron walks in and they strike up a conversation. This conversation continues through the bulk of the film and just when you wonder what the hell is going on, the film kicks into gear for a wonderfully exciting final act that puts everything else that can before it in a new context.
Written and directed by Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig (the Australian duo behind the underrated Daybreakers), Predestination is essentially a two-actor show. Hawke is his usual dependable self, bringing humanity to a character who sounds like something out of Timecop. But the real surprise is Sarah Snook, taking on a role that has every right to be disastrous and turning in the kind of performance that should win her a lot of challenging work in the future. It's brave, weird and totally unreal work.
Predestination won't be everyone's cup of tea. It sticks close to its hard science fiction roots, feeling more like a weird oddity from the '60s or '70s than a modern film. Some will find its twists telegraphed, but others will enjoy seeing how all of the pieces ultimately come together. This is the kind of weird, thoughtful and genuinely out-there sci-fi films that reenergizes your love for the genre.
If you want a way to kill your Infinite Man/Predestination high, check out Premature, which takes the basic premise of Groundhog Day and injects it with racism, misogyny and lousy jokes. The story follows a hugely unlikable teenage boy as he lives the same day over and over again, beginning the day anew every time he ejaculates. So he has to team up with his unlikable friends to figure out why he's stuck in a time loop. Along the way, races are mocked, women are objectified and you roll your eyes because it doesn't even have the decency to be funny amidst all of the offense.
Raunch is big right now and the success of This is the End proved that lowbrow humor and fantastical, straight-faced storytelling can exist in one package. But Premature is rotten at its core, falling into easy gags and forcing its lead to go through a transformation that doesn't feel earned. If you're going to rip off one of the greatest movies ever made (and Groundhog Day is one of the greatest movies ever made), you should at least note what it did right. As it stands now, Premature is a casually offensive movie that thinks it's edgy. It's the equivalent of the 11-year old kid who just learned about the F-word.
