The last time Austin Brown was at New York's Ace Hotel, he was getting fired from his job as a bellboy "for being criminally late," he explains over bites of bone marrow in the hotel's restaurant. Rising early was a challenge for him, but don't ever question the work ethic of Brown or bandmate Andrew Savage, the dual frontmen of Brooklyn's Parquet Courts: They're one of the most driven bands in modern rock. They've managed at least one annual installment of their word-drunk storytelling and spiky riffs since 2011, growing more assured with each outing. "Any artist who's excited about their new songs," Savage says, "isn't going to want to wait."
Starting with the 2012 single "Stoned and Starving," Parquet Courts have become indie standard-bearers, year-end-list regulars and music festival mainstays. Along the way, they've jammed onstage with members of Pavement and Sonic Youth—role models for smart bands in search of mainstream success without creative compromise. The Courts' fifth album, Human Performance, hits on two levels: It's their most nuanced set of songs, and it comes closest to capturing the explorative guitar storms of their live shows (especially the psych epic "Berlin Got Blurry").
And while their previous albums presented them as wiseass young New Yorkers happy to let you know they're too smart to be fooled by anyone's crap, this one finds Savage and Brown focusing on the heart instead of the brain. The band, which also includes bassist-singer Sean Yeaton and Andrew's brother Max on drums, took their time on the album, recording in multiple studios while on tour. Savage was reeling from the messy end of his first major adult relationship, and Brown was dealing with a debilitating depression. The latter subject is addressed on album opener "Dust," of which Brown notes, with a wipe of his hands, "Once you notice it, you see that it's everywhere."
With Human Performance, the band members appear to be more comfortable with themselves and less wary of stepping onto a larger stage. After several releases with the tiny New York label What's Your Rupture? they signed with Rough Trade, the venerable U.K. indie that has brought us everyone from the Smiths to the Strokes. Parquet Courts have a reputation for eschewing social media, interviews and press photographs (instead releasing often deliberately unprofessional snaps), an anti-everything stance Savage chalks up to his childhood as a punk kid in Denton, Texas. Obviously, they've started to relax this policy. "At some point, it became easier to take ten minutes and just pose for a photo," Brown says, "rather than go out of your way to avoid getting a real one taken."
Maybe they've loosened up on the press obligations and made an album containing hooks and piercing observations in equal measure, but that Denton kid would be happy to know the band's first release for Rough Trade was the EP Monastic Living, an instrumental tangent that's as harsh as Human Performance is warm. "A lot of people hate it," Savage says, adding with a smile, "which is great."

Georgia Football 2011: Fall Camp PreviewAugust 4, 2011
The 2011 football season is officially underway as the Georgia Bulldogs begin camp with their first practice Thursday afternoon. The players reported on Tuesday, went through physicals and other preparations on Wednesday, and will finally take the field today.
As camp begins, it is time to take a look at some key positional battles that will be decided during fall camp prior to the season opener against Boise State.
One of the things that was constantly said by the coaching staff back during spring practice was the fact that competition makes you better.
Heading into fall camp there are several question marks surrounding key positions, and below are the battles that will be under the spotlight heading into the 2011 season opener against Boise State.
Defensive Nose
In February, junior college nose tackle John Jenkins announced his decision to attend Georgia, and many thought that he was going to be the starter at nose without question.
But then in the spring, sophomore Kwame Geathers impressed coaches and was named the defensive MVP of spring practice before a stellar G-Day performance in which he played very well against senior center Ben Jones.
There's no question that Geathers and Jenkins will see the playing field in 2011, but the battle in the fall will determine who gets the starting position.
The play of the defensive line is what makes the SEC better than every other conference, and in order to be good, you must have a very strong second unit. In addition, when you run the 3-4 defense the nose position is the most important piece. The fact that Georgia has two very talented players there will make everyone else on the defense better.
Running Back
Many thought that when Isaiah Crowell announced his decision in February, that while he might be behind Caleb King and Washaun Ealey to start the season, he eventually would be the star of the Bulldog running game.
However, things changed after Washaun Ealey transferred and Caleb King was ruled academically ineligible. Now, many fans will look to Crowell to be the answer at running back.
His competition consists of former running back turned former linebacker turned running back again, Richard Samuel, along with redshirt freshman Ken Malcome who sat out most of spring practice due to injury, and junior Carlton Thomas.
Samuel and Malcome will fight Crowell for the first carry of the Boise State game, and Samuel has been given the early edge due to the fact that he is the veteran of the group. Thomas will be suspended for the first game against Boise State because he violated team rules during the offseason.
Offensive Line
Just like the running backs, the offensive line has had its fair share of attrition.
Freshman Brent Benedict and junior A.J. Harmon have transferred, Tanner Strickland graduated with eligibility remaining, and Trinton Sturdivant went down with another injury and will miss the entire 2011 season.
What remains of the offensive line is worrisome to Georgia fans, and it should be. Rimington Trophy candidate Ben Jones and preseason All-SEC First Team tackle Cordy Glenn will lead the offensive line, but the three other positions will all have new faces.
Sophomore Kenarius Gates is the projected left guard, Chris Burnette is projected as the right guard, and senior Justin Anderson is projected at the right tackle.
Anderson started his Georgia career on the offensive side of the ball, but played on the defensive line last year before suffering a season-ending injury in the first game versus Louisiana-Lafayette. Prior to spring practice, Anderson made the switch back to the offensive side of the ball.
The front five hasn't changed much since G-Day, but the depth behind them is the cause for concern. There are several talented freshman that will compete and try to earn backup spots during fall camp.

Last year's completed books file is now here. (Films seen list is here, including the 25 films I watched in December).
New year's books and films, for January and the first few days of February.
I might expand a few of those reviews in time. (Even I don't think the three word review for Under the Volcano quite manages to encapsulate the book). I'll probably write a proper post on Dylan Thomas; perhaps Lowry too. A lot of films I've failed to sit through towards the end of the month, including Zhang Yimou's The Flowers of War (a director who was once a favourite of mine, making a by-the-numbers war film with a token American anti-hero) and Paul Thomas Anderson's much praised There Will Be Blood (a director I've never really admired, delivering a film that never seems to go anywhere).


text: As reported earlier, former junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-1-1, 30KOs) sat down with Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer and finalized three dates for his 2014 run. The boxer announced, on his twitter page, that he will fight on March 8, July 26 and November 22. He states that all three fights will be carried on Showtime Pay-Per-View and the March opponent will be announced in the coming weeks. Canelo will return from the first loss of his career, record-breaking twelve round majority decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr. on September 14th.

Deborah Davies and The Cranmer Company of Singers want to say a huge thank you to everyone - local singers and loyal audience - who came to their Come and Sing event on Good Friday.
This was their fifth Come and Sing and the most successful yet.
The magnificent Mozart Requiem attracted over 170 singers and the wonderful sum of £1,150.60 was raised for the Syrian Tearfund Appeal.
This total is only possible due to the gift of time and talents by Cranmer Company of Singers' musical director, Deborah, and a small band of willing helpers.
With Philip Robinson accompanying on the organ, four superb soloists, Rachel King (soprano), Sarah Morris (alto), Colin Reed (tenor) and Jonathan Hall (bass), donated their lovely voices to all but raise the roof of St Mary's Church, Bottesford and produce a truly breathtaking performance of a very moving requiem.

text: Many coaches braved Portland Snow-megeddon III to hear some coaches from the east coast, Lars Tiffany from UVa and coaches Brian Vona and Jason Orlando from Lincoln-Sudbury MA, enlighten our Oregon prairie coaches on cutting edge Lax concepts. Coach Vona started things off expalining how bulding the Lincoln-Sudbury program into something that focused on community and character off the field has reaped rewards on the field and even more away from it. Coach Tiffany gave two talks: one on his general practice principles and then another showing sample drills and how they map to results in games. Coach Orlando gave an overview of his axioms, how to map them to making practice a training exercise and not just repetition, followed by some videos of simple drills building to those bigger concepts. For those who couldn't make it, a video of the clinic was made by our Nike sponsor. That video will be on-line soon, in addition to the coaches' powerpoint slides and specific drill video clips, as soon as we can get things together. Stay tuned.

Last week, a French photographer punctured the privacy of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, and scored a win for voyeurs around the world, catching her topless in a private setting: on vacation with her husband in a villa in the South of France.
The photos wrest control of Middleton's most valuable asset, her public persona. The French court ruled to stop further publication of the photos, but the problem won't go away. And we're all potential targets.
Middleton experienced a high profile version of the Facebook phenomenon. With the advent of social media, we've become our own promoters, publishers--and tormentors and victims. In fact, we've become our own paparazzi. An unguarded moment can be captured in an instant and disseminated to the masses just as quickly.
We have become a voyeuristic society, a nation of peeping Toms.
We've made a new sport of catching people out, posting and tagging photos of them in situations that were private, and not meant for mass-consumption: flesh spilling over a swimsuit, a chocolate-smeared mouth or cocktail-fueled moment. Then we spend hours trolling Facebook with an open window onto other's private moments.
Like many forms of "humor," these invasive shots have at the core an expression of hostility and aggression. Voyeurism is rooted in an impulse to dominate. It informs much of our behavior: schoolyard bullying, workplace harassment, and even sex are all forms of domination. The will to subordinate is not only human--it's a core part of many primate societies, cowing even such popular and attractive primates at the Duchess of Cambridge.
Facebook is simply another reflection of this primitive instinctual drive. Tagging and posting photos of people makes them feel helpless and out of control just like Kate and Wills do right now. And any one of us would feel out of control if caught in an unflattering or compromising photo.
Privacy is a form of psychological, not only physical, boundary. It is a line in the sand--"You can come no farther than this." It gives people a feeling of safety and integrity. But today privacy is a scare commodity, even within our homes or the homes of our friends. It's maddening. Remember the wedding scene in the Godfather when Sonny rips the film out of the camera of a prying FBI agent?
One can only imagine his rage response to an unwelcome Facebook post: a level of anger that both Kate and William, and anyone of us, could justifiably feel.

Augusta University Policies that were approved in October 2016
Login is required to view the policy
Outside Professional Activities (v.2)
Outside professional activity by faculty or administrators is to be encouraged under appropriate circumstances. However, since faculty and administrative personnel have committed their primary professional effort to the university, the university has theresponsibility to limit and regulate such activity. With certain exceptions, faculty members are required to obtain the permission of the university prior to engaging in outside professional activity and to make periodic summary reports on such activity. This policy defines the types of outside professional activities allowed and outlines the procedures for obtaining permission from the university and for reporting such activities to the university.
Policy for Responding to Allegations of Research Misconduct (v.1)
Augusta University expects that all its members maintain the highest standards of ethics in the pursuit of their scholarly endeavors, and accordingly bears responsibility for the prevention, investigation and adjudication of research misconduct. Any form of research fraud is contrary to the institution's principles and adversely effects the institution and its reputation.
The purpose of this policy and procedures is to promote the integrity of research conduct on behalf of Augusta University ("University") by its faculty, technical staff, residents, fellows, students, trainees, and individuals employed on a contractual basis by providing a process for close scrutiny of alleged research misconduct, for full protection of the rights of any person accused of research misconduct, and for the protection of any person who makes allegations under this policy in good faith.
Electronic Data Storage Backup (v.2)
In order to protect institutional data against loss or destruction, it is required that such data be created and stored within the system of record utilizing an Information Technology (IT) approved data storage device (e.g. storage area network space, a shared or home directory). All contracted service providers, personnel and students that establish or create electronic data outside of the IT storage service shall define, document, and implement a backup procedure. Department Heads will assume the role of data trustee for their department's data and will appoint a data steward and manager.
Sexual Misconduct (v.4)
Augusta University is committed to ensuring a safe learning environment that supports the dignity of all members of the Augusta University community. Augusta University does not discriminate on the basis of sex or gender in any of its education or employment programs and activities. Augusta University will not tolerate sexual misconduct, which is prohibited, and which includes, but is not limited to, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, sexual harassment, and stalking. These policies and procedures are intended to ensure that all parties involved receive appropriate support and fair treatment, and that allegations of sexual misconduct are handled in a prompt, thorough and equitable manner.
Prevention is one of the primary mechanisms used to reduce incidents of sexual violence on campuses. USG institutions are required to provide prevention tools and to conduct ongoing awareness and prevention programming and training for the campus community including students, faculty, and staff. Such programs are designed to stop sexual violence through the promotion of positive and healthy behaviors. Programming will educate the campus community on consent, sexual assault, alcohol use, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, bystander intervention, and reporting.
Cost Transfer Policy (v.4)
This policy establishes requirements for processing transfers of direct costs to or from or between sponsored accounts. Federal regulations, generally accept accounting principles, and good management practices require that all costs incurred be appropriate to and for the direct benefit of the project charged, and that accounting records be maintained in a timely and accurate basis. Audit reports routinely question or disallow cost transfers, in particular those that are frequent, tardy, unexplained, inadequately explained, or insufficiently documented. The accuracy of charges made to sponsored program accounts is a key aspect of sound financial management and a significant measure of adequate financial control.
In accordance with OMB Circular A-81, or the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200), it is necessary to explain and justify transfers of charges onto sponsored awards, where the original charge was previously recorded elsewhere on the University's General Ledger. Timeliness and completeness of the explanation of the transfer are critically important factors in supporting the reasonableness, allowability, and allocability of charges made to sponsored accounts in accordance with the Uniform Guidance.
Multiple Graduate Degrees (v.1)
While applicants who are not yet enrolled at the graduate-level at Augusta University may apply to more than one (1) program during the application process, a new student can matriculate initially only into a single program (primary) before they can be admitted to an additional graduate program (secondary).
Students who have matriculated into a primary program must always receive permission from their primary program and their proposed secondary graduate program (including established dual degree programs) before applying for admission to any secondary program. If either program is part of The Graduate School (TGS), the student must also receive permission from TGS before applying as well.
University Policies that were approved in July 2016
No new University policies.
Medical Center Policies that were approved in

Frances Yeend, 95, Soprano At City Opera and the Met
By MARGALIT FOX
Published: May 8, 2008
Frances Yeend, an internationally known soprano who appeared regularly with the New York City Opera and the Metropolitan Opera in the decades after World War II, died on April 27 in Morgantown, W.Va. She was 95 and lived in Morgantown.
Ms. Yeend's husband, James Benner, confirmed the death.
Most recently Ms. Yeend was an emeritus faculty member of West Virginia University in Morgantown, where she was a professor of music and artist in residence from 1966 to 1978.
Ms. Yeend (her surname rhymed with ''bend'') made her City Opera debut in 1948 as Violetta in Verdi's ''Traviata.'' She remained with the company for more than a decade; her roles included the Countess in Mozart's ''Marriage of Figaro,'' Marguerite in Gounod's ''Faust,'' Eva in Richard Wagner's ''Meistersinger'' and the title roles in Puccini's ''Turandot'' and Verdi's ''Aida.''
In 1961 Ms. Yeend made her Metropolitan Opera debut in Richard Strauss's ''Elektra.''
Ms. Yeend sang Violetta at the Met the next year. Her last performance with the Met was in 1963, as Gutrune in Wagner's ''G?rd?erung.''
Frances Leone Lynch was born on Jan. 28, 1913, in Vancouver, Wash., and reared in Portland, Ore. She had little formal instruction until her college years at Washington State College (now Washington State University).
Besides her husband, a pianist whom she married in 1954, Ms. Yeend is survived by a son, Warren Yeend of Los Altos Hills, Calif.; one grandchild; and two great-grandchildren. Her first marriage, to Kenneth Yeend, ended in divorce.
Ms. Yeend's recordings include Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with the New York Philharmonic under Bruno Walter and Arthur Honegger's oratorio ''Jeanne d'Arc au B?r'' (''Joan of Arc at the Stake'') with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Her other roles include Mimi in Puccini's ''Boh?'' with the Covent Garden Opera Company and Violetta with the Vienna State Opera. In the late 1940s Ms. Yeend toured with the tenor Mario Lanza and the bass-baritone George London; they were known collectively as the Bel Canto Trio.

I have experienced this issue before with other projects, but it is now a consistent problem with the work I am doing on the Caulker project.
I am debugging the app on my device (Samsung Galaxy S2), using Visual Studio 2010.
To repo the issue, grab the code from my Github and run the demo project.
Within 5 - 30 seconds of the app starting, the debugger dies silently. Nothing shows in the Android adb trace except the "Window died" messages.
I suspect it may have something to do with the threading involved in the tile downloads.
The other projects where this debugger issue has happened also involve Http requests in asynch (multi-threaded) scenarios.
Note: the app generally runs fine directly off the phone (i.e. without debugger).
I cannot reproduce this on my Nexus One. I'll ask around and see if someone has a Samsung device that can try this to see if it's device specific.
If you want to help narrow it down further, you can comment out pieces of your thread code until it stops crashing.

Here's a test case that allows me to reproduce this in Visual Studio 2010 with my Nexus One.

1 Timothy -- Passing the Baton (8)
In Acts, we are told that Paul appointed elders in the new congregations. In his letter to Timothy, he describes what he looks for:
It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do. An overseer, then, must be
- above reproach, (Not sinless, but without a hidden past that could compromise his decisions)
- the husband of one wife, (Legalists like to debate whether an elder can be divorced or must be married. The spirit behind this is who the man is now. To be sure, a divorce in the past must be examined, but so should the current marriage. It is not a past divorce that is the problem so much as a future divorce or an adulterous affair.)
- temperate, (Not given to excess, balanced, able to appreciate clean fun)
- prudent, (Full of common sense. Able to give sound advice and counsel)
- respectable, (This is almost a corollary of the above. The elder has real authority in the congregation. That authority is best mediated through one who has earned the respect of those who must obey. In other words, this characteristic helps promote the unity of the body.)
- hospitable, (He must have an open home. He should be friendly and outgoing. He should not care who comes into his home.)
- able to teach, (He must know and be able to communicate the Scriptures.)
- not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, (I kept these together because of that quality in drink that triggers violence in people. Paul does not prohibit drinking, but indicates that it is a beverage to be used in moderation.)
- peaceable, (One who works to recognize and settle disputes, and is, himself, prone to be peaceful)
- free from the love of money. (Sex and Money seem to be things that can bring down a leader more than anything else. The elder must be one who seeks the Kingdom of God above all else.)
- He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity (but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?), and (The measure of a man is often his household. When the doors of a home close, the hidden things in the soul emerge. There are no hypocrites behind closed doors. If the wife and children have an easy respect for husband and father, then the man may be a good candidate for leadership)
- not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil. And (This covers the hidden pride that can be in the heart. This qualification implies that the elder has gone through testing and breaking so that he stands only by God's grace and mercy.)
- he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. (This presumes a friendly community and not those who hate the Church. Like the family, the external community that has business and social contacts with the candidate can indicate the quality of the man. If he is shady in his dealings, the external community will provide evidence of this. On the other hand, if the external community honors him, you know that his dealings are honest.) (1 Timothy 3:1-7)
If you look at leaders in the Church today who give Christianity, you can see where they have failed in at least one of these areas. That is the elegance of this list, it provides external evidence for the internal heart. The more fully a man exhibits these qualities, the more likely he will be to serve the local body well. To be sure, some will slip through the screen that should have been caught and some will be caught that should have passed through. The above are guidelines that let us know the importance of character in the office of elder.
Tomorrow: Deacons

During Sunday's technical duets in the synchronized swimming, the Russian pair of Natalia Ishchenko and Svetlana Romashina had the best costumes of the day. At first peek, it looks like their bathing suits are just regular black and silver shapes. Perhaps that's a hat?
My goodness, that's Michael Jackson. The Russian pair did their routine to a mix of the King of Pop's songs, so the costumes are perfect. He brought them luck, too. They won the technical round with a score of 98.200. They will have another qualification round on Monday before Tuesday's duet final.

The bills would define the sickouts as illegal teacher strikes in state law. The protests have closed dozens of Detroit schools in recent weeks. A legislative panel approved the legislation on Tuesday while adding more teeth to the bills. New language would temporarily block unions from representing teachers and collecting dues in districts where sickouts are happening. Detroit Public Schools issues progress report on building repairs By Paulette Parker • Feb 1, 2016 Sarah Hulett / Michigan Radio Detroit Public Schools says it has begun fixing violations found during city inspections. Teachers with Detroit Public Schools held sickouts in recent weeks to call attention to the deplorable condition of many of the buildings. "We're doing the best that we can with the resources that we have, and we are honestly committed to working towards resolving the issues that are on the inspection reports from the city of Detroit," said DPS spokeswoman, Michelle Zdrodowski. Detroit teachers union sues school district, EM By Michigan Radio Newsroom & Sarah Cwiek • Jan 28, 2016 Sarah Cwiek / Michigan Radio The Detroit Federation of Teachers, with support from the American Federation of Teachers, and several parents filed a lawsuit Thursday against Detroit Public Schools and its state-appointed emergency manager, Darnell Earley. The suit is asking the court to compel DPS and Earley to repair all existing building code violations, and for the creation of an appropriately funded capital plan that will bring schools up to "21st century standards." Lessenberry explains DPS and the problems with Flint water bills By Emily Fox & Jack Lessenberry • Jan 27, 2016 Michigan Radio In this Week in Michigan Politics, Jack Lessenberry talks about why Flint residents are being charged a lot of money for water they can't drink. Flint residents aren't paying those bills, and the city's water utility says it might run out of money by the end of the year. Lessenberry also talks about the problems plaguing Detroit Public Schools. Listen Listening... / 4:20 Listen to the interview Detroit public school inspections: mold, insects, rodents and leaking roofs By Kate Wells • Jan 25, 2016 Sarah Hulett / Michigan Radio Detroit teachers, parents and students have been complaining their school buildings are falling apart. Now, health and safety inspection reports from DPS schools are being posted online, and they're not pretty. In the first batch of 11 school inspections, officials found rodent and insect issues, mold, a gym that's completely closed because of water damage, broken glass, bathroom doors that don't close, and boilers that don't work. Why is Court of Claims handling DPS, Flint water crisis lawsuits? By Stateside Staff • Jan 25, 2016 flickr user Joe Gratz / http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 The Court of Claims is all over the news lately, with Detroit Public Schools' attempt to establish a temporary restraining order to block teacher sick-outs and the class action lawsuits in Flint due to the water crisis. But what is the Court of Claims? Several Michigan schools close due to social media threats By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jan 25, 2016 flickr user Motown31 / http://michrad.io/1LXrdJM Several schools around the state closed Monday in response to threats made on social media over the weekend.

Detroit high school collects 800 cases of water for Flint By Kate Wells • Jan 15, 2016 Cass Tech Alumni Association As a counselor at Cass Technical High School in Detroit, Monica Jones knows this hasn't been the happiest couple of weeks at Detroit Public Schools. Between teacher sickouts to draw attention to unsustainable teaching and learning conditions, more news about just how terrible the district's finances are, and scathing criticism from Lansing aimed at DPS teachers, "there's like an ugly air, like an ugly funk going on," Jones says. "So we wanted to do something positive. There's too much negativity out there, and all that negativity weighs you down." "Fed up" Detroit parents: Most support teacher sickouts, ready for "action" By Sarah Cwiek • Jan 14, 2016 Sarah Cwiek / Michigan Radio Detroit parents say they're angry about conditions in the city's schools — and ready to do something about it.

Lessenberry talks Flint water crisis and DPS By Christina Shockley & Jack Lessenberry • Jan 13, 2016 Michigan Radio This Week in Michigan Politics, Jack Lessenberry talks about the Flint water crisis: how Flint is getting help at the federal level, when Governor Snyder first knew about the water problem and how this crisis has hurt him politically. Lessenberry also talks about why teachers at the Detroit Public Schools are protesting many issues by staging "sickouts." Listen Listening... / 4:24 Listen to the interview Snyder joins officials calling for an end to teacher "sickouts" By Jake Neher • Jan 12, 2016 Jake Neher / MPRN Gov. Rick Snyder is adding his voice to those calling for an end to teacher "sickout" protests in the state's largest school district. Dozens of Detroit public school buildings have closed this week with teachers staying home, and several more have been forced to close in recent weeks. Snyder hopes teachers will find other ways to protest state control of Michigan's largest district, health and safety issues in classrooms, and other problems. He says there are other avenues to call attention to those issues that don't hurt students. Republicans developing legislation to shut down teacher "sickout" protests By Jake Neher • Jan 11, 2016 Thetoad / Flickr - http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 Republican state lawmakers are looking into legislation meant to prevent teacher "sickouts" like the ones that closed about 60 Detroit schools on Monday. Teachers in the state's largest district say it's their only way to protest problems in the district – from state control to overcrowded classrooms – because teacher strikes are banned under state law. "I couldn't be any more disappointed," said state Sen. Phil Pavlov, R-St. Clair Twp., who chairs the Senate Education Committee. State superintendent calls on Detroit teachers to end "sickout" protests By Jake Neher • Jan 8, 2016 DPS Michigan's education chief is urging teachers in the state's largest district to end a recent series of "sickout" protests.

Sikkema and Demas agree that the list of legislative successes is short this year. Sikkema says: Detroit's Dying Public Schools By Jack Lessenberry • Dec 10, 2015 Detroit's Public Schools are slowly dying. Those who run them would not use those words, but that's what is happening. The schools have lost sixty-five percent of their students in the last ten years, and have closed more than three-fifths of their buildings. Listen Listening... / 3:08 Jack Lessenberry talks about Detroit's Public Schools. There's some evidence of better management in the last year. Enrollment may have temporarily stabilized.

Can Gov. Snyder's plan for Detroit schools get past the politics? By Jennifer White • Oct 22, 2015 screenshot / Livestream Gov. Rick Snyder this week announced his plan for overhauling Detroit Public Schools.

Retiring state superintendent supports DPS bailout, urges help for poor students By Jake Neher • Jun 21, 2015 MichigansChildren / YouTube Michigan's top education official says the state should help Detroit Public Schools pay down its massive debt. The governor and state lawmakers are discussing ways to turn around the district - which is almost $500 million in debt. The district spends $53 million dollars a year on debt service. Outgoing state Superintendent Mike Flanagan says paying off the district's debt would free up tens of thousands of dollars for every classroom in Detroit. DPS announces revamped programs to attract students By Sarah Hulett • May 13, 2015 Sarah Hulett / Michigan Radio Detroit Public Schools is revamping some of its offerings in the hopes it will make its schools more competitive.

If you aren't worried about education in Michigan, you just flunked the common sense test By Jack Lessenberry • Mar 20, 2015 Virtually everyone who doesn't have a political reason to pretend otherwise would agree that the Detroit public schools are a dreadful failure. More than three-quarters of its students have fled the district in the last 14 years. Test scores remain appallingly low, and a succession of emergency managers has failed to stabilize the finances. Most children in the district now go to charters, private schools or schools in the suburbs, a clear vote of no confidence by Detroit parents.

Full Text Search: The Key to Better Natural Language Queries for NoSQL in Node.js
Answer: C and C++ define NULL differently. A typical definition of NULL in C++ looks like this:
#define NULL 0
Whereas in C, NULL is usually defined like this:
#define NULL ((void*)0)
Why is this? Pointers in C++ are strongly-typed, unlike pointers in C. Thus, void* cannot be implicitly converted to any other pointer type without a cast operation. If C++ retained C's convention, a C++ statement such as:
char * p = NULL;
would be expanded into:
/*error: incompatible pointer types*/
char * p = (void*) 0;
For this reason, the C++ standard requires that NULL be defined either as 0 or as 0L. In other words, NULL is just an alias for the literal zero. Therefore, you may use zero as a pointer initializer directly. There's no need to replace 0 with NULL.
#define NULL 0
#define NULL ((void*)0)
char * p = NULL;
/*error: incompatible pointer types*/
char * p = (void*) 0;

Men's Basketball: Irish escape Delaware at home
Matthew DeFranks | Sunday, December 8, 2013
In the opening game of the BlackRock Gotham Classic, Notre Dame needed a superhero-like performance from senior guard Jerian Grant to avoid Delaware's upset bid and defeat the Blue Hens 80-75.
Grant scored 25 points on 10-of-16 shooting and nailed two late buckets to give the Irish (6-2) some breathing room with time winding down.
"I just knew we needed a basket," Grant said. "They were creeping in and it's the end of the game, coach is giving me the ball, my teammates are giving me the ball and telling me to make a play. So I did."
Notre Dame looked like it was going to blow the game wide open in the second half after junior forward Pat Connaughton drained a 3-pointer to put the Irish up 12 with 16:30 left in the game. The Blue Hens (5-4) chipped away at the Irish lead, cutting it to one on junior guard Jarvis Threatt's driving layup with 2:09 left in the game.
Grant made sure the Blue Hens would not take the lead, burying two jumpers on the next two Irish possessions to quell the Delaware comeback.
"He's one of the best bad-shot shooters I've ever played with," Irish graduate student center Garrick Sherman said.
Grant's two shots, which were 36 seconds apart, were almost identical. He drove right before pulling up and knocking down his final two shots of the game.
"I told them 'That was better offense than our defense, so no worries,'" Delaware coach Monté Ross said. "There's nothing you can do."
The Irish closed the game with a 10-6 spurt to secure their sixth win of the season.
Delaware, who had lost three games by a combined eight points, had three players score at least 19 points. Threatt led the Blue Hens with 23 points and 10 assists. Senior guard Davon Usher and junior guard Kyle Anderson each had 19 points in the losing effort.
The Irish also had three players with 19-plus points. Sherman followed up a 29-point effort against Iowa with a 19-point, six-rebound performance against the Blue Hens and Connaughton added 19 points to go along with 11 rebounds.
Connaughton, who has been starting as the second-biggest player for the Irish behind only Sherman, said his rebounding game will continue to be important for Notre Dame.
"It's something that we need and it's something that I've really focused on throughout the summer, throughout practicing," Connaughton said. "It's something I've always been able to do, I've just kind of lacked the last two years. I just want to step up this year and do it."
Notre Dame took an early 10-point lead following a 12-0 run in the first half, with Sherman notching eight points during the run.
Delaware clawed back into the game with timely 3-point shooting. The Blue Hens made five straight 3-pointers in a span of three minutes to turn a seven-point deficit into a two-point lead. Delaware shot 43.5 percent from behind the arc for the game.
"You're feeling like we're off to a good start and after the … third [3-pointer], I'm going 'All right,' and then they bang down two more," Irish coach Mike Brey said. "And they're tough shots and I'm thinking 'You've got to be kidding me.'"
The Blue Hens stretched their lead to five before the Irish closed the first half on a 13-1 run, taking a seven-point edge into the half.
"We let them spurt us and that was probably the difference in the entire game," Ross said.
The Blue Hens did not make a field goal in the final 6:06 of the first half and never led in the second half.
"How we finished the half, I'm really proud of," Brey said. "We got in there, we defended. We hit a couple shots. That was a key for us to answer that charge right there. That gave us enough confidence and cushion, really, to win the game."
Notre Dame will continue with the BlackRock Gotham Classic tonight when they take on Bryant and Wednesday when they play North Dakota State.
"These next two teams are just like Delaware," Brey said. "They're veteran teams. They've won together before and they will come in here loose and letting it rip like the Blue Hens did."
Bryant (6-3) lost to North Dakota State (6-3) 66-62 on Saturday. Bulldogs junior guard Dyami Starks leads Bryant with 23.4 points per game and has only scored in single-digits once this season. He scored 26 against North Dakota State.
Notre Dame is in the midst of an eight-day stretch that features four games. Brey said the team would have minimal contact Sunday before playing Monday.
"There's no day off until [next] Sunday," Brey said. "We're going right on through."
The Irish and the Bulldogs tip at 7 p.m. tonight at Purcell Pavilion.

Ashish Avikunthak Chadha has been recognized by ArtReview Magazine as one of 30 "Future Great" artists of 2014.
Professor Ashish Chadha Avikunthak teaches film theory and production in the Film/Media program. His films are visually stunning, highly formal meditations on ritual, time and death, rooted in Indian religion, philosophy and history. Since arriving at URI, he has made several films that have been well-received at museums and art galleries all over the world. His work has been described as "self-consciously difficult works that are filmed in a self-consciously beautiful way." Professor Chadha explains that viewing the films creates a sensory and spiritual experience that is similar to visiting a temple, where the majority of worshippers do not have a literal understanding of the ritual that takes place. Read the ArtReview essay on Chadha's work here.

Your best 2012 weather photo
And life goes on...
- sarahbrowngb, CNN iReport producer
This morning, the sun tries to muscle its way through the clouds that have blanketed Manila the past couple of days. It is a tug of war between forces of nature with the populace as an anxious spectator hoping but not yet betting that the light wins over the sheet of gloom that has caused much damage to the city below.
Offices closed early yesterday as heavy rains threatened to paralyze the city further. As we said our goodbyes and wished everyone a safe trip home, our guard sadly said that he had no more house to go home to. It had been washed away by floodwaters the other day. His story is just one of many tragedies this week. Distressed hospitals called for help as oxygen supplies for their ICU's started to run short. Some flood victims communicated through social networking sites to plead for food and water as they remained trapped in the upper floors of their houses. The more lucky ones only had to contend with mapping out their routes home to avoid flooded streets and traffic jams. Amidst this catastrophe, hardened inmates of the country's maximum security prison skipped lunch and donated it to flood victims proving that there is always hope and goodness even from the unlikeliest of places.
Today the rains have stopped and hope springs in everyone especially those hard hit by the calamity. As I drive my way around the city, I spot people returning to their homes and trying to rebuild what lives they had before the disaster struck.
Flood waters are still on a rampage in the Marikina River and many areas are still flooded. The water is a muddy brown like caramel but nothing is sweet about this tragedy. Garbage is everywhere and floats with the current. I spot a floating dresser cabinet as it passes under the bridge I am on and wonder whose memories its mirror has seen. The bridges are filled with people taking pictures with their digicams and mobile phones. In a dense community beside the riverbank, a boatman navigates himself around a tight alley looking for people to ferry to dry land. I see people rebuilding houses, young children wading through waist deep waters risking falling into open manholes. On the other bank, workers brave the currents to salvage floating rolls of industrial paper which were washed a few kilometers downstream when the deluge broke their factory's fence.
My route took me near the Industrial Valley Complex, a squatter relocation site beside the banks of the Marikina River. Along the highway, the water has started to subside and the residents of the complex are slowly looking around the banks of the river hoping to find remnants of their lives among the riffraff. I snap photos with my Leica and spot a pair of boots beside river bank. This area is a low income neighborhood and the boots I see are not too worn out. I'm sure its owner had saved a lot to acquire them. Now they are just one of the lost items in a pile of anonymous debris.
The residents sift through the embankment and try to pick up their lives once more, a scene I'm sure is mirrored in many other flood stricken places. A group of teenage girls gather around each other sending SMS perhaps to boyfriends somewhere in the city. A woman catches a snake swimming in the river bank and proudly displays it to everyone who cares to look. Whether it will end up as a pet or a meal, I do not know. A boy braves the murky water and reclaims a couch, pushing it by himself back to dry land. A father and his son scour the edge of the river looking for pieces from their house and put whatever they can find in a pile by the road. Among them is a gold colored picture frame. Its glass pane is gone and whatever photo it held has also been swept away. Despite its condition, the picture frame represents an existence still worth living and is one of those set aside to hold another photo once everything has settled back to normalcy.
It is a sad scene but one of hope. As I turn to leave, a man calls out to me and asks me to take his photo. He spreads his arms wide and joyfully shouts out the Tourism department's slogan, "It's more fun in the Philippines!"
A young woman beside me shouts, "nakakahiya ka" (you are embarrassing) and laughs out loud. I smile at her as everyone joins in the laughter and I realize that this is what it is to be a Filipino. It is this resilience and joie de vivre that has always pulled us through good times and bad.

Street Artist Marty Mar's Subtle Anti-Gentrification Mural on Essex Street
It was a hyperlocal controversy the day street artist Garrett Wasserman decorated the wall outside Clayton Patterson's residence on Essex Street. Perhaps confusion is what resulted in the erasure of Marty Mar's mural; apparently Wasserman had been tapped to paint a different section of the masonry. Nevertheless, "Lower East Side Story" resulted and almost immediately attracted hate from the street.
Many locals decried it as non-representative of the Lower East Side Spirit, and vandals were quick to desecrate its vanilla vibe.
Nevertheless, Lower East Sider Marty Mar returned this week with something that's less happy-go-lucky. The mural is a riff on the negativity of gentrification vis-a-vis a welcome sign. Though it's somewhat of an unwelcome welcome, as if to say, enough with the displacement already.
"[The piece is] more directed at the larger companies and culture vultures pushing out the people and businesses who have been apart of the community for decades."
The LES has always welcomed People of all walks of life to come in with an open heart and open mind. Adapt and embed your self into this community to help build and preserve the dreams of the people, and the people will help preserve and build your dreams in return. With that said a vacant room will always be waiting for YOU the people. So let me be the first to say, Welcome to the lower east side …
