I am trying to use libjson in a c++ project.
I am working on linux with gcc version 4.5.2.
I am trying to build an example program from the C++ example "Getting Started/C++ Interface/basic_parser.htm".
I wrote a small program as below,
#include "libjson.h"
#include <string>
int main()
std::string json = "{\"RootA\":\"Value in parent node\",\"ChildNode\":{\"ChildA\":\"String Value\",\"ChildB\":42}}";
JSONNode n = libjson::parse(json);
return 0;
But when I try to compile, I am getting the below error.
main.cpp:7:37: error: invalid initialization of reference of type 'const json_string&' from expression of type 'std::string'
../libjson/libjson.h:210:28: error: in passing argument 1 of 'JSONNode libjson::parse(const json_string&)'
Would any one please help me to understand what I am missing here?
Thanks in advance.
Jonathan Wallace
normally json_string is std::string. Could you post your JSONOptions.h file for me to look at?
Please find my JSONOptions.h file below,
#ifndef JSON_OPTIONS_H
#define JSON_OPTIONS_H
* This file holds all of the compiling options for easy access and so
* that you don't have to remember them, or look them up all the time
* JSON_LIBRARY must be declared if libjson is compiled as a static or dynamic
* library. This exposes a C-style interface, but none of the inner workings of libjson
//#define JSON_LIBRARY
* JSON_STRICT removes all of libjson's extensions. Meaning no comments, no special numbers
//#define JSON_STRICT
* JSON_DEBUG is used to perform extra error checking. Because libjson usually
* does on the fly parsing, validation is impossible, so this option will allow
* you to register an error callback so that you can record what is going wrong
* before the library crashes. This option does not protect from these errors,
* it simply tells you about them, which is nice for debugging, but not preferable
* for release candidates
//#define JSON_DEBUG
* JSON_ISO_STRICT turns off all code that uses non-standard C++. This removes all
* references to long long and long double as well as a few others
//#define JSON_ISO_STRICT
* JSON_SAFE performs similarly to JSON_DEBUG, except this option does protect
* from the errors that it encounters. This option is recommended for those who
* feel it's possible for their program to encounter invalid json.
#define JSON_SAFE
* JSON_STDERROR routes error messages to cerr instead of a callback, this
* option hides the callback registering function. This will usually display
* messages in the console
//#define JSON_STDERROR
* JSON_PREPARSE causes all parsing to be done immediately. By default, libjson
* parses nodes on the fly as they are needed, this makes parsing much faster if
* your program gets a lot of information that it doesn't need. An example of
* this would be a client application communicating with a server if the server
* returns things like last modified date and other things that you don't use.
//#define JSON_PREPARSE
* JSON_LESS_MEMORY will force libjson to let go of memory as quickly as it can
* this is recommended for software that has to run on less than optimal machines.
* It will cut libjson's memory usage by about 20%, but also run slightly slower.
* It's recommended that you also compile using the -Os option, as this will also
* reduce the size of the library
//#define JSON_LESS_MEMORY
* JSON_UNICODE tells libjson to use wstrings instead of regular strings, this
* means that libjson supports the full array of unicode characters, but also takes
* much more memory and processing power.
//#define JSON_UNICODE
* JSON_REF_COUNT causes libjson to reference count JSONNodes, which makes copying
* and passing them around much faster. It is recommended that this stay on for
* most uses
#define JSON_REF_COUNT
* JSON_BINARY is used to support binary, which is base64 encoded and decoded by libjson,
* if this option is not turned on, no base64 support is included
#define JSON_BINARY
* JSON_EXPOSE_BASE64 is used to turn on the functionality of libjson's base64 encoding
* and decoding. This may be useful if you want to obfuscate your json, or send binary data over
* a network
#define JSON_EXPOSE_BASE64
* JSON_ITERATORS turns on all of libjson's iterating functionality. This would usually
* only be turned off while compiling for use with C
#define JSON_ITERATORS
* JSON_STREAM turns on libjson's streaming functionality. This allows you to give parts of
* your json into a stream, which will automatically hit a callback when full nodes are
* completed
#define JSON_STREAM
* JSON_MEMORY_CALLBACKS exposes functions to register callbacks for allocating, resizing,
* and freeing memory. Because libjson is designed for costomizability, it is feasible
* that some users would like to further add speed by having the library utilize a memory
* pool. With this option turned on, the default behavior is still done internally unless
* a callback is registered. So you can have this option on and mot use it.
#define JSON_MEMORY_CALLBACKS
* JSON_MEMORY_MANAGE is used to create functionality to automatically track and clean
* up memory that has been allocated by the user. This includes strings, binary data, and
* nodes. It also exposes bulk delete functions.
//#define JSON_MEMORY_MANAGE
* JSON_MEMORY_POOL Turns on libjson's iteraction with mempool++. It is more efficient that simply
* connecting mempool++ to the callbacks because it integrates things internally and uses a number
* of memory pools. This value tells libjson how large of a memory pool to start out with. 500KB
* should suffice for most cases. libjson will distribute that within the pool for the best
* performance depending on other settings.
//#define JSON_MEMORY_POOL 524288
* JSON_MUTEX_CALLBACKS exposes functions to register callbacks to lock and unlock
* mutexs and functions to lock and unlock JSONNodes and all of it's children. This
* does not prevent other threads from accessing the node, but will prevent them from
* locking it. It is much easier for the end programmer to allow libjson to manage
* your mutexs because of reference counting and manipulating trees, libjson automatically
* tracks mutex controls for you, so you only ever lock what you need to
//#define JSON_MUTEX_CALLBACKS
* JSON_MUTEX_MANAGE lets you set mutexes and forget them, libjson will not only keep
* track of the mutex, but also keep a count of how many nodes are using it, and delete
* it when there are no more references
//#define JSON_MUTEX_MANAGE
* JSON_NO_C_CONSTS removes consts from the C interface. It still acts the same way, but
* this may be useful for using the header with languages or variants that don't have const
//#define JSON_NO_C_CONSTS
* JSON_OCTAL allows libjson to use octal values in numbers.
//#define JSON_OCTAL
* JSON_WRITE_PRIORITY turns on libjson's writing capabilties. Without this libjson can only
* read and parse json, this allows it to write back out. Changing the value of the writer
* changes how libjson compiles, and how fast it will go when writing
#define JSON_WRITE_PRIORITY MED
* JSON_READ_PRIORITY turns on libjson's reading capabilties. Changing the value of the reader
* changes how libjson compiles, and how fast it will go when writing
#define JSON_READ_PRIORITY HIGH
* JSON_NEWLINE affects how libjson writes. If this option is turned on, libjson
* will use whatever it's defined as for the newline signifier, otherwise, it will use
* standard unix \n.
//#define JSON_NEWLINE "\r\n" //\r\n is standard for most windows and dos programs
* JSON_INDENT affects how libjson writes. If this option is turned on, libjson
* will use \t to indent formatted json, otherwise it will use the number of characters
* that you specify. If this is not turned on, then it will use the tab (\t) character
//#define JSON_INDENT " "
* JSON_ESCAPE_WRITES tells the libjson engine to escape special characters when it writes
* out. If this option is turned off, the json it outputs may not adhere to JSON standards
#define JSON_ESCAPE_WRITES
* JSON_COMMENTS tells libjson to store and write comments. libjson always supports
* parsing json that has comments in it as it simply ignores them, but with this option
* it keeps the comments and allows you to insert further comments
#define JSON_COMMENTS
* JSON_WRITE_BASH_COMMENTS will cause libjson to write all comments in bash (#) style
* if this option is not turned on, then it will use C-style comments. Bash comments are
* all single line
//#define JSON_WRITE_BASH_COMMENTS
* JSON_WRITE_SINGLE_LINE_COMMENTS will cause libjson to write all comments in using //
* notation, or (#) if that option is on. Some parsers do not support multiline C comments
* although, this option is not needed for bash comments, as they are all single line anyway
//#define JSON_WRITE_SINGLE_LINE_COMMENTS
* JSON_ARRAY_SIZE_ON_ON_LINE allows you to put small arrays of primitives all on one line
* in a write_formatted. This is common for tuples, like coordinates. If must be defined
* as an integer
//#define JSON_ARRAY_SIZE_ON_ONE_LINE 2
* JSON_VALIDATE turns on validation features of libjson.
#define JSON_VALIDATE
* JSON_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FUNCTIONS turns on funtions for finding child nodes in a case-
* insenititve way
#define JSON_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FUNCTIONS
* JSON_INDEX_TYPE allows you th change the size type for the children functions. If this
* option is not used then unsigned int is used. This option is useful for cutting down
* on memory, or using huge numbers of child nodes (over 4 billion)
//#define JSON_INDEX_TYPE unsigned int
* JSON_BOOL_TYPE lets you change the bool type for the C interface. Because before C99 there
* was no bool, and even then it's just a typedef, you may want to use something else. If this
* is not defined, it will revert to int
//#define JSON_BOOL_TYPE char
* JSON_INT_TYPE lets you change the int type for as_int. If you ommit this option, the default
* long will be used
//#define JSON_INT_TYPE long
* JSON_STRING_HEADER allows you to change the type of string that libjson uses both for the
* interface and internally. It must implement most of the STL string interface, but not all
* of it. Things like wxString or QString should wourk without much trouble
//#define JSON_STRING_HEADER "../TestSuite/StringTest.h"
* JSON_UNIT_TEST is used to maintain and debug the libjson. It makes all private
* members and functions public so that tests can do checks of the inner workings
* of libjson. This should not be turned on by end users.
//#define JSON_UNIT_TEST
* JSON_NO_EXCEPTIONS turns off any exception throwing by the library. It may still use exceptions
* internally, but the interface will never throw anything.
//#define JSON_NO_EXCEPTIONS
* JSON_DEPRECATED_FUNCTIONS turns on functions that have been deprecated, this is for backwards
* compatibility between major releases. It is highly recommended that you move your functions
* over to the new equivalents
#define JSON_DEPRECATED_FUNCTIONS
* JSON_CASTABLE allows you to call as_bool on a number and have it do the 0 or not 0 check,
* it also allows you to ask for a string from a number, or boolean, and have it return the right thing.
* Without this option, those types of requests are undefined. It also exposes the as_array, as_node, and cast
* functions
#define JSON_CASTABLE
* JSON_SECURITY_MAX_NEST_LEVEL is a security measure added to make prevent against DoS attacks
* This only affects validation, as if you are worried about security attacks, then you are
* most certainly validating json before sending it to be parsed. This option allows you to limitl how many
* levels deep a JSON Node can go. 128 is a good depth to start with
#define JSON_SECURITY_MAX_NEST_LEVEL 128
* JSON_SECURITY_MAX_STRING_LENGTH is another security measure, preventing DoS attacks with very long
* strings of JSON. 32MB is the default value for this, this allows large images to be embedded
#define JSON_SECURITY_MAX_STRING_LENGTH 33554432
Jonathan Wallace
Ooooh, I see the problem. With the JSON_MEMORY_CALLBACKS option turned on, json_string is a std::string that takes an allocator. Either turn that option off, or use a json_string instead of an std::string.
Thank you very much for the help!
I have commented out the JSON_MEMORY_CALLBACKS macro, and now everything is working fine.
Actually I was able to compile the test program with some workarounds like typecasting, putting json_string into stringstream and taking std::string out etc. But I could not seriously consider libjson for my evaluation because of these nasty workarounds. But now that I have the correct solution, I will include libjson in my performance evaluation. I hope I can publish the result soon.
I have a suggestion with respect this issue.
You could consider disabling this option by default in the JSONOptions.h file.
That would help any newbie like me, who depends on the sample programs as a starting point.
Thanks again,
Jonathan Wallace
I only recently added that as a default option. I changed it as soon as I realized the problem. The next release will not have this problem.
When i try the same program given above i get these errors,
>C:\Users\CN\Downloads\libjson\libjson.h(43): error C2059: syntax error : ''
1>DST.cpp(10): error C2065: 'JSONNode' : undeclared identifier
1>DST.cpp(10): error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'n'
1>DST.cpp(10): error C2065: 'n' : undeclared identifier
1>DST.cpp(10): error C2653: 'libjson' : is not a class or namespace name
1>DST.cpp(10): error C3861: 'parse': identifier not found
Actually my requirement is XML <->JSON is it possible in C++? Can u help me on this.
Sounds like if you want to use C++ interface, you need comment out #define JSON_LIBRARY.

Do You Communicate To Relate Or To Control?
Do You Communicate To Relate Or To Control?
Do You Communicate To Relate Or To Control?
In my research (published in the book, Getting Real: 10 Truth Skills You Need To Live An Authentic Life) I discovered that 90% of most peoples' communication is motivated by the unconscious intent to contol. Do you communicate to relate or to control? And do you know the difference?
When your intent is to relate, you are most interested in revealing your true feelings, learning how the other feels, and connecting heart-to-heart. When your intent is to control, you are most interested in getting things to come out a certain way— avoiding conflict, getting the person to like you, being seen as knowledgeable or helpful, etc.
Communication that is controlling aims at creating a favorable impression. Communication that is relating aims at knowing and being known, seeing and being seen.
Most people are not aware of their intent. They may be aware that they want to be understood, but that's about all. Even the intent to be understood can be controlling. So instead of thinking that all your communications are simple and transparent self-expressions, I urge you to you humbly acknowledge the fact that sometimes you are trying to get the other to understand you the way you wish to be understood, to create a certain impression, or even to manipulate the other person into giving you what you want. Controlling is not a bad thing when it is done candidly with awareness. But it is destructive to trust when it is done covertly or unconsciously.
Learning the difference between relating and controlling can help you deal better with unpleasant emotions such as hurt or anger. Let's say your date just showed up an hour later than planned, and you are upset. You have several options:
1. You can express your feelings in the interest of transparency, with the intent to reveal yourself in a non judgmental way (relating);
2. You can act like it doesn't matter—even though the truth is that you are feeling upset (controlling);
3. You can act cold and distant as a way of punishing him for being so thoughtless (controlling);
4. You can tell him you're upset and ask him what happened (relating);
5. You can tell him that you notice one of your childhood fears is being triggered—e.g. the fear that he doesn't really care about your feelings (relating);
6. You can tell him that if he is ever an hour late again, and doesn't call, that you'll probably stop seeing him (controlling).
Can you see the difference? Relating involves self-disclosure, curiosity about the other person's reality, a willingness to be vulnerable enough to allow yourself to be affected, and an ability to step back and notice your reactions. Controlling involves one-way communication, an attempt to get the other to feel bad, or an attempt to look good or appear on top of the situation. Relating grows out of the desire to be real, to be transparent. Controlling arises from the need to be right, to play it safe, to punish, or to avoid feeling vulnerable or uncertain. Relating builds trust and intimacy. Controlling leads to mistrust and defensiveness.
So the next time you feel frustrated that your date or partner is not "hearing you," check in with your deeper motivation--are you just focused on getting what you want, or are you revealing your needs and feelings in a way the other person can empathize with?

On Sunday, July 15, "Fringe" took to the Comic-Con stage for the final time, and there was no finer venue for the tenacious show's send-off than the cavernous Hall H, which holds over 6000 attendees and was completely packed for the occasion.
Josh Jackson, Anna Torv, John Noble, Lance Reddick, Jasika Nicole and executive producer J. H. Wyman were on hand to spill a few hints regarding Season 5, and HuffPost TV was in attendance to gather all of the juicy tidbits into one handy roundup.
Follow along with our liveblog below to catch real-time updates from the final "Fringe" panel direct from San Diego Comic-Con, and scroll to the bottom of the post to watch the full video of the panel.
The cast stood to take a bow and got a standing ovation from the crowd -- bittersweet moment.
Noble liked random Walter in the beginning, the one who was always saying the wrong thing but desperately wanted his son back. Reddick loved Alt-Broyles and the way he died with a bang. Torv loved playing the lighter "Bolivia" in the beginning, but now she loves Olivia and finds her satisfying. Nicole remembers how tough it was to close the door to the other universe and lose their alt-selves.
"There is an answer to that question, and the answer will become apparent next season," Wyman said.
Jackson: Vagenda is always a favorite.
Holbrook: Fifty Shades of Fringe?
"I'm gonna be really careful with what I say because I want you to experience it. It's like opening your presents before Christmas day. Let's just say, Henry was an astounding performer last season -- let's see if he makes his way into the season this year," Wyman teased.
"When I stand up from here, I just want it known that I didn't piss myself. There's going to be an embarrassing moment when I leave the stage ... "
Made solely for Comic-Con. "It's not saying goodbye, it's saying that we're successful and having this beautiful family that you're a part of. So on behalf of all of us, all the people in Vancouver and all the people at Fox who stuck with us [despite] middling numbers ... Thanks to them and thanks to Warner Bros. and thanks to you guys because you really do own the show with us," Wyman said.
"I loved it when Peter chopped that guy's fingers off. And I think there was an episode in Season 1 where Olivia shoots like 17 guys ... Those scenes they're talking about were some of the most beautiful we've ever done but I'm not gonna cry. I'm not gonna cry."
"I'm gonna go with Seth Gabel -- the way he contrasted his two selves was really well done, so I'm gonna go with Lincoln and Alt-Lincoln."
Jackson: I haven't had that in about 20 years. Nicole: When Walter is at the phone booth and can't remember the number to get to Peter. And when Olivia goes into her house and realized that the doppelganger had been washing her clothes and had been taking over her life -- it was so heartbreaking. It was just played with such subtlety and beauty. It's such a testament to how talented Anna is. [She's tearing up.] Torv: That's what TV teaches you, it's about the characters. Last season there was an episode all about Astrid, and the scene where she meets [Alt-Astrid] and we'd been waiting for it for so long, all of us, the crew. Jasika comes in to do it and it was so silent -- and our set is loud -- the respect and care and the love that was given ... Watching that in the room was so special. [Torv and Nicole are both crying.]
Jackson: "The fun part of this show is the process of discovery. It's much more fun to watch it week-to-week. It's our last journey together."
"I get the sense that the group of people I work with would have each other's back. There's a real sense of solidarity and I don't think that'll go away. What we've learned is about the power of love in this story, the thing that holds "Fringe" together is love. I'm sure that's why you guys have followed it through -- the love between father and son and Peter and Olivia. It's that love factor that's kept us going and will give us a great final chapter."
"The biggest lesson is to come, to tell you the truth. [The crowd takes that in a dirty way. Torv gets very embarrassed.] You know what, that's what we need to teach Olivia to do, to tell you the truth. Please let's move on … "
"I would like to aspire to the nobility that Peter has developed over the course of the five years. The sacrifices that he's made for love and family are on an epic scale. It's been a great joy, especially with John, to go from the son to the father figure and back to the son, and we're looking forward to seeing how to end this journey."
He told Nicole "They're just gonna think I'm a fan," because of his hat, but he was swarmed as soon as he stepped into the hotel.
Jasika Nicole was thrilled that the fans started connecting with Astrid despite the how little screen-time and backstory she got in the beginning. She was expecting to get killed off years ago.
"We're trying to give you guys back so much, because thanks to your support and the media, we made it this far -- we're the little show that could," Wyman said.
"We wanted to write the scripts early and make sure it was all perfect. We wanted to make sure the actors had enough time to bring their thoughts and where they were going too," Wyman explained.
"Just as you guys want the show to end well, we want the show to end well," Jackson agreed.
"I had two versions in mind for the end, I didn't know which way we were going to go, and then it all became clear," Wyman said.
"Everyone was kind of happily surprised -- we were on the razor's edge this year," Jackson pointed out.
"It's going to pick up exactly where we left off in 419," Joel Wyman said. Some pieces of footage were shot last season in preparation of next season. "It came back brilliantly." They used the video as a sales pitch to get them to renew the show.
Joel Wyman is recording a video of the audience saying "we miss you Blair." They're going to tweet her.
Joel Wyman, Joshua Jackson (big cheer), John Noble (equally big cheer) -- the whole room is holding up white tulip print-outs. Lance Reddick, Anna Torv and Jasika Nicole are also here.
That's when the final season premieres. The fourth season will be available on DVD on Sept. 4.
The crowd is going wild. "Witness Fringe Division's Last Stand..."
Who's excited?
Hall H is filling up fast and the stewards are handing out Observer hats for the crowd.
Watch the "Fringe" panel in its entirety below:
"The Big Bang Theory" is the ultimate Comic-Con lover's show, but nothing beats the gang dressed as the Justice League, beating out a sea of Justice Leagues in their New Year's costume party contest.
Right before Greendale's zombie outbreak in Season 2's big Halloween episode, Troy and Abed tried out their geektastic costumes, which weren't such a huge hit with the ladies. It wasn't long before Troy was shirtless with just a "Dracula" toilet seat cover around his neck.
The Pritchett-Dunphy clan doesn't mess around when it comes to Halloween. Phil and Claire's house was totally decked out and costumes ranged from sexy witch, gargoyle (that's what Gloria was saying!), zombie bride and groom, and Dr. Frankenstein and his monster, to, of course, a slutty Mother Teresa.
To see Temperance Brennan dressed as Wonder Woman was every nerd's dream come true, but to hear her praise for costar David Boreanaz, who dressed as a nerd for the episode? Priceless. "I love nerds -- he's never been more attractive to me."
While the older freaks were out smashing pumpkins and knocking down mailboxes, the younger geeks were still trying to trick-or-treat with some sweet costumes. Our personal favorite of the bunch? Bill, dressed in drag as the Bionic Woman.
Thought that the "Spiderman" upside-down-in-the-rain kiss was really steamy? Always dreamed of recreating it? Seth Cohen did (albeit on accident) with his love Summer in this iconic "O.C." moment.
He wasn't a Browncoat exactly, but Castle's "space cowboy" costume made him look a lot like his old "Firefly" character Mal.
This is why Con-goers will always have a special place in their hearts for "Chuck." Not only was Chuck the ultimate Nerd Herd hero, but his leading lady looked great fighting crime, selling yogurt and hot dogs or dressed in "Star Wars" costumes.
Do you like scary stories? The "Community" gang sure does, although some were scarier than others. Annie's started out romantic, then quickly turned into vampire/werewolf awesomeness. Grab the other two parts of your love triangle and go to town!
Summer's striptease down to her Wonder Woman costume for Seth, golden lasso included, didn't even need the sexy "Santa Baby" soundtrack. Seriously. It's just as good without any sound, which is why it's another classic "O.C" moment.
So these aren't exactly main characters on "Family Guy," but we loved their Super Mario cutaway, featuring a pissed off princess and a rambling Mario with a heavy Italian accent. Optional accessories: bring your own mushrooms, turtle shells and gold stars.
In an attempt to get out of jury duty, Liz dressed as Princess Leia ... unfortunately, she fit right in with the rest of the crazies called in to do their civic responsibilities in New York City.
"Smallville's" former Lois Lane Erica Durance made headlines for her guest starring role on NBC's ill-fated "Harry's Law" last season, all because she was donning her own superhero garb.
Would you pay $129 for a Sith lightsaber? If so, you're in good company with Dwight Schrute.
"The Office" knows how to do Halloween. Need more proof? Check out Darryl as Dracula (2:33 mark) and Meredith as "True Blood's" Sookie Stackhouse (3:43 mark), complete with a fake blonde wig and Merlotte's waitress uniform.
There's always a horde of Stormtroopers at the Con, but you can be the only one who's actually Barney's collectors' edition prop Stormtrooper from "How I Met Your Mother."
Don't mess with Fez! Batman might be a crime-fighter, but this foreign exchange student has no problem fighting or committing crimes in the name of good trick-or-treat candy.
In "The One With the Halloween Party," Chandler was a giant pink bunny, Joey was Chandler and Ross was "Spud-nik" (of course), but it was the ladies who really brought the awesome: Check out Phoebe as Supergirl and Monica as a sexy Catwoman. Meow!

A Natural User Interface (NUI), where a user can type or speak a request, is a good complement to the well-known Graphical User Interface (GUI). Accurately extracting user intent from such typed or spoken queries is a very difficult challenge. In this paper we evaluate several techniques to extract user intent from typed sentences in the context of the well-known Airline Travel Information (ATIS) domain, where we want to extract which of the possible tasks the user wants to do and the value of the slots associated to that task. In previous work we showed that a Semantic Context Free Grammar (CFG) semi-automatically derived from labeled data can offer very good results. In this paper we evaluate several statistical pattern recognition techniques including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Na{\"i}ve Bayes classifiers and task-dependent n-gram language models. These methods can yield a very low task classification error rate. If used in combination with our CFG system, they can also lead to very low slot error rates.}, address = {Denver, Colorado}, author = {Ye-Yi Wang and Alex Acero and Ciprian Chelba and Brendan Frey and Leon Wong}, booktitle = {International Conference on Spoken Processing}, pages = {609-612}, publisher = {International Speech Communication Association}, title = {Combination of Statistical and Rule-Based Approaches for Spoken Language Understanding.}, url = {http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=75235}, year = {2002}, }


text: US, Russia Clash at UN, Russia Invades City of Kerch Ukrainian border guards: We were overwhelmed by Russian troops By Neal Colgrass, Newser Staff Posted Mar 3, 2014 3:46 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (87) (Newser) – US and Russian ambassadors expressed very different viewpoints on Ukraine today during an urgent UN Security Council meeting in New York, CNN reports. US Ambassador Samantha Power said Russian troops are entering Ukraine over an "imaginary threat," and the military action "is a violation of international law." Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said his country only wants to curb radical extremism in Ukraine: "We're talking about defending our citizens and our compatriots, on defending the most important human right, the right to life," he said. Ukrainian Ambassador Yuriy Sergeyev asked the UN for help, saying Russia has sent 16,000 troops to Ukraine since last week. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials say Russian troops are targeting the city of Kerch along the Kerch Peninsula in eastern Crimea. According to the officials, 12 truckloads of Russian troops entered the city, and 10 troops from the Russian Black Sea Fleet, all heavily armed, overwhelmed guards at a border post on the Strait of Kerch. That allowed a ferry carrying three truckloads of Russian troops to enter the post, border guards tell Reuters. For more, see Russia's rejection of a Ukraine "ultimatum report" and President Obama's goal of "isolating" Russia.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Prosecutors say two women were raped by a man who lured them to Orange County motel rooms for so-called "spiritual cleansings" that involved rubbing whole eggs on their bodies.
The Orange County Register reports 39-year-old Alberto Flores Ramirez of San Clemente faces two counts of rape and four other sexual offense charges. He could get 75 years to life in prison if convicted.
The incidents are alleged to have occurred in 2012. Prosecutors say Ramirez convinced the women that he is a spiritual healer and he could perform a ritual with an egg that cleanses negative energy. After he booked motel rooms and performed the ritual, he allegedly attacked the women.
In court on Wednesday, Deputy Public Defender Angela Kung questioned the women's accounts of assault.

Julie Heath, PhD is the Director of the Economics Center and Alpaugh Family Chair in Economics at the University of Cincinnati's Carl H. Lindner College of Business.
As another class of high school and college graduates enters the labor market, concern continues to grow about their employment prospects.
Recent reports reinforce the long-held belief that the returns to a college education are significant, not only in terms of starting salaries, but in the growth of wages over time.
Yet, for many recent graduates, the recovery is not a reality as they still struggle to find employment.
On the face of it, young workers are not faring that badly. May's unemployment numbers indicate an overall rate of 6.3 percent, while young workers (those under 25) had an unemployment rate of 13.2 percent. While this discrepancy may seem large, the youth unemployment rate has historically been about twice that of the overall rate. Young workers lack experience and may be passed over in hiring decisions or be the first to be let go when companies downsize. This double-the-overall rate has held for many years and through many business cycles.
The current difficulty for young workers comes from two directions: the "missing" workers and, for college grads, those occupying "non-college" jobs. Missing workers are those who are not employed but not seeking work. The number of young missing workers was 1.6 million between 2007 and 2010, and has declined only slightly since then, to 1.4 million. The reported unemployment rate does not include these workers; if they were included, the unemployment rate for young workers would be 18.6 percent instead of 13.2 percent.
While missing workers is an issue for any age cohort, it is particularly problematic for young workers. A common reaction to poor labor market conditions for young workers has been to "shelter in school," choosing to attend college because of the lack of employment options.
During this recession and its aftermath, the young have not exercised this option. Between 2007 and 2012, the increases in college enrollments were no greater than before the recession began and since 2012, college enrollments have dropped.
The fact that college enrollments did not deviate significantly from the long-run trend during the recession highlights an often-overlooked reality: Students and workers are not separate categories. Many students need to work to help pay for college expenses. The lack of job opportunities can mean that college, too, is no longer an option.
For young college grads, the unemployment rate is 8.5 percent, indicating that labor market outcomes improve dramatically with additional education.
However, if we include those who are working part-time but desire a full-time job (the "underemployed"), the rate jumps to 16.8 percent for these grads. Further, the underemployed designation includes hours-based underemployment. It does not include skills-based underemployment – those college grads who are working at a job that does not require a college degree. In 2000, 36 percent of college grads age 22-27 had jobs that didn't require a college degree; in 2012 that number was 44 percent. Worse yet, the quality of these non-college jobs has decreased over the time period, reflected in lower wages and less opportunity for advancement.
For those unfortunate enough to graduate into a severe economic downturn, the immediate effects are obvious, but the long-run consequences can be devastating. Two primary pathways for economic security – education and on-the-job experience – are limited for this cohort. The result is reduced earnings, greater likelihood of unemployment, and greater earnings instability over the next 10 to 15 years. As the economy improves, no cohort will benefit as much as our young workers, both now and for the next decade. ⬛

The Million-Dollar Sock?
by Douglas J. Gladstone
Seven years ago, American-born Canadian children's author Robert Munsch and his illustrator, Michael Martchenko, published a children's book about a girl named Tina, who loves her brand-new socks so much that she doesn't take them off. Titled, appropriately enough,"Smelly Socks," (Scholastic Cartwheel Books, 2005), The Globe and Mail had nothing but praise for the story – in its review, the newspaper described the book as "more witty, creative and entertaining than most of what passes for adult literature." The Toronto Star even referred to Munsch as "arguably the most successful kid-lit writer in North America."
I know about books like this because I'm the parent of a four-year-old girl who loves when I read to her at night. She also routinely smells my feet. Maybe that's why I haven't purchased the book for her yet.
Of course, my four-year-old's fascination with smelly feet and socks is to be somewhat expected. What's not expected is when countries actually advocate using them to ward off malaria.

"Up for sale is my 2008 Bianchi Pista fixed gear bicycle. It is pretty much brand new and the envy of all the bicycle-riding crack dealers in my neighborhood (Old Fourth Ward). The sprocket has been configured to effectively act as a single speed, and, since I value tragically uncool things like stopping, a front brake has been added. In the pictures you'll also see that I've added a headlight and a taillight, because, in addition to stopping, not being run over by cars is something I enjoy. You can easily remove all the safety accoutrements and flip the wheel over and have the minimalist, super-trendy bicycle of death currently favored by hipsters everywhere. If you are a hipster and want this bike, I reserve the right to add $150 to the price and possibly mock your sneakers. Let's face it, you bought them so people like me would make fun of you. Also, I'm offering this bike at less than half of what I paid for it - you owe me.
I got this back when I was thinking about becoming a hipster, and could think of no better way to prove my worth than by donning a Chrome messenger bag and drunkenly flogging myself from pub to pub on a two-wheeled, face-down crucifix. After about 50 miles of said activity, however, I realized I was much happier being a poseur, and that I hadn't really done anything "technically" cool since the Clinton administration when I told that girl who rejected my invitation to dance, "no, you must have misunderstood me, I said 'you look fat in those pants.'""
Only $385 before the hipster tax, not a bad deal.
Why did I post this? Because you have to read it and no one can stop me.

A nation in despair, weakened by war, defeated
Lost their pride in Versailles
A former prisoner, with a vision or a grand delusion
Rise to power in the Reich
Rebuilding an army
Make the nation proud
Disregarding the treaty
Secret plans for "lebensraum"
Start the holocaust
The Reich will rise
Propaganda, the Reich will rise
To last a thousand years
Burning books to spread, anti-Semite propaganda
Who will stop the madman's reign?
Night of broken glass, send the Jews to Dachau death camp
On a path to certain death
The "Aeschylus" completed
On the brink of war
Act brutal with no pity
Be harsh, show no remorse
Start the war machine
In the last days of peace
Europe holding it's breath
An invasion is coming but when will it start?
Who will be first to fall? who will be last to stand?
Who will stop all this madness that has consequences no man understand?
No man, no land!
The hottest lyrics from Sabaton

Adding some indexes makes sense to me. However, it would be nice to confirm both indexes are actually needed.
Is it possible to provide some data on how these indexes are used in the queries Django generates for realworld data? EXPLAIN ANALYZE from PostgreSQL would be perfect.
Multicolumn index could be the best solution here, but unfortunately that isn't currently supported. If possible, data for multicolumn index too would be great.
comment:3 Changed 4 years ago by anonymous
object_id is used in stock django, i.e. history_view() in contrib/admin/options.py. The index here is a clear win for any who use django_admin_log.
object_repr is often used in custom forms and other external code, one common example is to implement a global history search. Doing this via object_id is not reasonable since this would involve working out the object_id for all matching objects in every extant model, and even then it may not be viable to match history for deleted objects. Such forms should be efficient without needing a local modification to contrib/admin/models.py

- Has patch set

- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
I wonder if it is really necessary to have the index for object_repr alone though. Every django installation using admin would need to pay the price of that index, but it is not needed in stock installations. I have written multiple django apps, and never needed object_repr lookups. You can add the index by hand if needed.
So, I would say +1 on the object_id index, and more proof for the need of object_repr index.
Marking as accepted on the basis of need for object_id index. Although query plans with the index and without it are still missing.

Fem!Romano x Reader- New school ch.1You were walking down the hallway of your new school, Gakuen Hetalia high school. Being a new student you constantly had to look down at the map the office had given you. The map read that you weren't that far from your homeroom. Walking past some other room you reached the room you had to go to. Knocking lightly on the door you rocked back and forth on the balls of your feet, very nervous. The door opened reviling a tall woman with straight blond hair and glasses. "Hello, you must be the new student, correct?" Right away you could tell she was British from her thick accent.More Like This
"Y-Yes." Shyly nodding you looked away from her. Of course your shyness kicked in right then and you stuttering came back. "Well come in and introduce yourself!"

There she saw a man drowning, his name is Arthur Kirkland.
Worried about him, she brought him to the surface and sings a song for him.
By the time he's awake, she's already gone, the only thing he remembered was her voice.
The mermaid loved him so much, that she visited the underworld witch, Michelle and exchange her tails with legs, she gives her voice in exchange for her legs.
and if the prince didn't love her back, she'll dissolve into air and she'll be gone forever.
She goes up to the surface and saw him again, this time she could walk and hugged him.
One time, there's a ball held at the country, the mermaid couldn't dance so she only watched him as he dance along with girls.

Review for Hindu American Foundation, Washington, DC, USA
HAF is a great organisation for fighting for truth and justice for Hindus all over the Globe. They are doing a great service to Hindu society. Hindu religion has been so much underrepreented and misrepresented especially in the west and HAF is doing great in bringing the correct picture of Hinduism and shedding off the distortions some so called western historians has brought to Hinduism.
Bravo and Bhagwan ji bless you with the strength and wisdom to bring just and truth out !!!!

| werewolf6780 chapter 1 . 7/6
Finally! I'm not the only person that thought his erm...appendage would retract! Very cute and sexy! Thanks for writing this!
| Anonymously Mega chapter 1 . 3/7
Just like Elvis, Roxanne likes her Christmases blue.
Couldn't resist the joke -
| septima.winters chapter 1 . 12/10/2013
Your story is very sweet, more so that Crees Moose is coming. ;)
It is also very funny, line about the Presbyterian Church made me laugh out loud. :)
As I huge fan of Megamind I thank you a lot for sharing. :)
| shadewatcher chapter 1 . 12/4/2013
Eeeee hee hee hee! I think Roxanne just discovered Megamind's weakness. lol And also the recipe to curing him of his villainy. lol XD
| DarkUnderworld chapter 1 . 9/11/2013
Again beautifully written and lovely:) keep up the amazing job
| Spunkalovely chapter 1 . 5/8/2013
This is fantastic!
| excessivelyperky chapter 1 . 4/20/2013
Definitely not the weirdest thing a guy had ever asked her to do.
-She's dated frat guys!
Seriously, this is one of the best stories about eggnog, rum, and seriously wonderful alien sex I have ever read.
| jeffhiggs chapter 1 . 4/12/2012
i would really like to see more of this story. like does Megamind go and follow Roxanne's advice?
| Dreamsinger chapter 1 . 1/29/2012
Equal parts lol and awww here. Funny Megs is funny, sweet, hesitant Megs is adorable, retractable body parts make perfect sense here and you managed to do it in such a way as to seem very natural-and hot!
Roxanne's character is mostly spot-on. I can see where she might give into any sexual fantasies she's been harboring over the years due to the alcoholic eggnog, and you even gave her the additional incentive of being thoroughly impressed by Megs' inventions and his tremendous potential for Good, so the sex scene works here.
The only part that seemed a bit off was when she mentioned love, seemingly without thinking, or wondering to herself afterward why she'd said such a thing. It's kind of cliche to have people fall in love after sex, but since she'd never seen his sweet, vulnerable side before, it makes sense. (She sure learned to love him pretty quickly in the movie when she got to know that side of him.)
I'd love to read a few lines where she realizes that somehow she's fallen for him; that she'll never be able to look at him and only see Megamind the villain ever again. And that it doesn't bother her in the least. Plus, she'll never have to go stag again, lol!
Also it bothered me that Roxanne, a smart, modern woman, did not worry about the lack of protection during the sex, drunk or not. You might want to put in a bit where she considers it and decides that she's not likely to need it.
All in all, this is a wonderfully sweet story, one I'll definitely be re-reading often. Well done.
| Izzi M chapter 1 . 1/12/2012
soooo...I think you should do another one shot. Cause I've read the three you have here at least 20 times. Just a thought.
| Chelsea Deanne chapter 1 . 7/16/2011
I like this one. Sweet, and a little naughty too.
| Vivid Imaginest chapter 1 . 7/9/2011
Eggnogg does good deeds, indeed. D Very well written and all around amazing. Thanks for the trip!
| Nora Salisbury chapter 1 . 7/5/2011
Excellent! This is only the third story I've read that explores an alternate set of genitals for him, and it's the best of the three. I absolutely love them watching Crees Moose movies together! Brilliant!
| ItsCobalt chapter 1 . 6/2/2011
I seriously laughed out loud when I read Roxanne was the present :D
And ofcourse the rest of the story was very nice too ;P
| HNiobe chapter 1 . 5/19/2011
After watching Megamind movie (many times) I read several fanfics but I found most of them OOC which made me more and more disappointed and I was getting lost enthusiasm even if some story themselves were not bed. Then I found your fanfic which is at last such a story that I wanted to read. I like it so much. The personality of the characters are really close to their personality in the film and the humor in this story is awesome. The idea of Roxanne as Chrees Moose present tied up with a ribbon given to Megs by Minion would perfectly fit even in the movie (e.g. like a funny flashback). Or it would be perfect story for a Megamind short film for Christmas :-). There are many lines in this story which are incredibly funny and sharp and I was laughing a lot while reading them. I could list lot of lines that I find brilliant but I quote only my two favorite ones: "You are saying there's a union for fish-robot-gorilla slaves? It's a very small union."
" I know a couple billion socialists who would disagree with you."
I like that you emphasize the alien-like attributes of Megamind's body. And when I got to the scene when you describe Megs genitalia I also got a Christmas present in a form of a big, positive surprise. Namely, that you described his penis exactly the same way as I imagined it. After watching the film first time I asked myself why his leather suit is so flat at that certain area (even if he is small and very skinny we still should see something in that tight leather/latex suit :-)) and I got to the same conclusion as you: he must have retractable penis. (The other option would have been that he does not have penis at all but I did not even want to think of that. What would happen to poor Roxy then? :-)). So, everything is happy-end in the story and it is also a happy-end for me because I found such a Megamind fanfic I was looking for.

Igesund to meet all PSL coachesComment on this story
Unlike many of his predecessors, new Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund is already moving to meet all Premier Soccer League coaches, while backing up prior promises with immediate action.
Igesund said he was planning a similar mission overseas in the next couple of weeks.
"The PSL coaches obviously have an intimate and updated knowledge of all their players that I can't possibly have at my fingertips," the Bafana coach said from Cape Town on Monday.
He was holding discussions with officials from Santos and Ajax Cape Town, before moving on to Durban and Bloemfontein.
"I want to have a close rapport with all of them to assist me in selecting the best possible South African squad.
For my part, I'm not scared to ask for advice, although the buck stops right here and I must make the final decisions. Any help I can get, from any source, will always be appreciated," he said. - Sapa

Bob Smizik: No stars, no problem for PenguinsApril 22, 2014 5:30 AM
Share with others:
Nobody asked me, but...
• You heard it here, there and everywhere: The Penguins would have immense difficulty winning without goal-scoring from their biggest stars. That theory would increase tenfold, at least, once they fell behind two goals very early to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Turns out there were no goals from Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Chris Kunitz or James Neal and, what's more, no power-play goals in six attempts. The result was not defeat but a 4-3 Penguins' win. Go figure!
• Nothing official, but the Blue Jackets have to lead the NHL postseason in stupid penalties.
• Congratulations to Jory Rand, who is leaving KDKA-TV next month for KABC in Los Angeles, where he will be a news anchor/reporter. Jory was never afraid to ask the tough question in the toughest situation, even if it made him appear to be the bad guy. Anyone who thinks that's easy has never been there. Good luck, Jory!
• With Pitt assistant Barry Rohrssen leaving for Kentucky, there has been immediate speculation that highly ranked 6-4 guard Mustapha Heron, Class of 2016, will eventually follow. Rohrssen was Pitt's lead recruiter on Heron, who is ranked as high as 15th nationally. Chris Dokish ranks Heron as the second-best (potential) recruit of the Jamie Dixon era, behind only DeJuan Blair.
• The Pirates were not included in a recent ranking of the 10 best rotations in MLB by SI.com. The bad news on that is this: Three other NL Central teams were. St. Louis was second, Cincinnati third and Milwaukee 10th.
• The two keys to winning the remaining games in the Penguins-Blue Jacket series: Don't score first; don't take a 3-1 lead.
• Why would anyone pay to attend a golf tournament to sit in the bleachers at a certain hole? That's roughly the equivalent of watching a baseball game and only being able to see second base.
• Clint Hurdle's explanation of why he removed Gerrit Cole after eight innings Sunday is a bit of an insult to Cole, who is nothing if not the fiercest competitor: "I felt that he had competed very well, and I didn't want to see a bad mark for him today. Still cutting teeth, four or five months of major-league experience." Hurdle seemed to be suggesting Cole can't handle the ninth inning, which should, rightfully, infuriate Cole.
• Concerning the frequent complaints that the Pirates don't hit in the clutch: Going into Monday night's game, they were second in the NL in batting average with runners in scoring position, .279, and first in OPS, .824. They added to that by going 2-for-5 with a home run in the 6-5 win over Cincinnati.
• The way Mike Tyson was treated in Pittsburgh last week, you would have thought he was visiting royalty and not a convicted rapist who once bit off part of the ear of an opponent in a boxing match.
• Mind-boggling stat: From June 2006 through April 2012, the Tampa Bay Rays did not give a single start to a pitcher older than 29.
• Never a good idea to predict trends in any best-of-seven series, particularly in the Stanley Cup playoffs, but the Blue Jackets had to be devastated by Monday night's loss.
• Digger Phelps is out after 20 years as a basketball analyst at ESPN.
• Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs is arguably the best coach on the planet and here's another reason why: He gets the regular season. No San Antonio starter averaged more than 30 minutes this season, which is the first time since the ABA merger (mid-1970s) that has happened.
• Gazillionaire Rupert Murdoch on his Fox Sports 1, the challenger to ESPN that appears to be gaining little traction: ''We certainly expect to lose a couple hundred million dollars for a year or two, and then we expect it to turn, and we'll gradually make it into a major alternative to ESPN. We're not going to put ESPN out of business." Murdoch referred to ESPN as a "gold mine" and indicated it makes more money than his Fox News, which, he said, made $1 billion last year.
• Checking up on Vic Black and Dilson Herrera, the two players who the Pirates traded to the Mets for Marlon Byrd. Black, who will be 26 next month, was expected to make the Mets bullpen but didn't and was unscored on in five games, 6⅓ innings, in the Pacific Coast League. Herrera, 20, is playing in the Florida State League (high Class A) and was batting .338 with an .843 OPS (stats through Sunday).
• After a promising rookie season with Houston last year (.268), Robbie Grossman fizzled in April (.125, 6-for-48) and was demoted to Class AAA. Grossman was the key player sent to Houston in the Wandy Rodriguez trade in 2012.
• Raise your son to be a baseball player. The career earnings, thus far, of Zach Duke -- 50-76 lifetime with a 4.56 ERA -- are $11.8 million.
• There has been criticism of what some consider the overuse of the OPS stat on this site. I'm guessing if batting average had been used instead of OPS, there would be no complaints. OPS is not a perfect stat. It is the best stat available, in my opinion, to convey the offensive performance of a player.

Cowboys Photos
5 things we learned from VP Stephen Jones about the Cowboys this week
Photo: Tom Fox/Staff Photographer
A potential draft pick's medical history may come into play more than in the past. Two of Cowboys' most productive young talents - linebacker Sean Lee and running back DeMarco Murray - were periodically hurt in college. At Penn State, Lee tore the ACL in his right knee in 2008 before spraining his left knee a year later. Murray entered the NFL after suffering turf toe, a dislocated kneecap, a sprained ankle and a ruptured hamstring tendon. While Stephen Jones said the organization hasn't altered its medical grading system for NFL prospects, he explained that the team is being more circumspect when evaluating a player who had a track record of getting hurt in college.

Okay. Hear us out on this kind of crazy Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting comparison.
You know when you used to get your hair cut in the '90s (maybe in a place at the mall called Contempo Couture Cuts? Just us?) and there would be those giant books featuring dozens and dozens of haircut options (that all kind of looked the same). That's exactly what Mrs. Ryan Sweeting looks like in this outfit! If Vidal Sassoon could see this look, he'd totally get what we mean.
VIDEO: Get all the details on Kaley's chopped hair and fit figure! Watch now!
Not only is the CBS star's midnight blue top and bottom combo a total throwback to '95, but we haven't seen hair that sharp since Paula Abdul ruled the airwaves (though hers was more of a puffed bang situation with sharp edges surrounding, duh).
Yes, the Vera Wang suit-style separates are in a lovely leafy pattern, and we do love deep colors against the actress' fair skin, but with that hair, it's way too much of a flashback to days spent watching mom get her hair dyed while some woman with the Jennifer Aniston cut trimmed our bangs.

Last night's 14-hour "American Idol" premiere presented the usual suspects of hopefuls. To paraphrase judge (and hideous eyewear collector) Randy Jackson at the end of the Savannah, Georgia, trip, "We came, we saw, we mocked immigrants' accents, we patronized and lusted after hot girls, we competently read off of producers' notes, we conquered."
Then, just as the expected parade of planted craycrays and daughters of athletes wrapped up, "Idol" introduced its eventual season 11 winner, Phillip Phillips.
First let's talk his name. It's so ridiculous, it's awesome. You'll never forget it. Not to get all numerologist on you, but for season 11, a digit comprised of "one" repeated twice, a name like Phillip Phillips is destined to end up on top. At least he is in a pretentious overwritten novel.
But Phillip Phillips' unavoidable victory truly comes into focus once you realize that he's a tried-and-true mash-up of every male winner in the show's 10-year history.
Musically, Phillip2 is a Dave Matthews worshipper (hi, season nine's Lee DeWyze!) with the Joe Cocker mannerisms of season five's Taylor Hicks. His first audition song was a Stevie Wonder classic. (Sophomore class president Ruben Studdard made his first impression with a Stevie song, too.) And just when you thought fellow contestant Colton Dixon had the David Cook fans in his corner by singing the season seven winner's "Permanent" (and sharing a passion for haircuts tragique), Phillips rocked a "Thriller" of an encore: a white-dude twist on a Michael Jackson fave à la Cook's "Billie Jean."
Then there's the look. He showed up wearing the uniform of two different male victors: reigning champ Scotty McCreery's jeans and sandals combo and the "um, bro, I think you still have three more buttons to utilize on your plaid shirt" shtick of season eight's pocket-sized Idol Kris Allen.
It's no wonder "Idol" producers are drooling over this dude. Notice how Phillip2 was magically allowed to play the guitar for J.Lo, Steven and Randy, even though past seasons have forbidden instruments at this point in the audition process? Nigel Lythgoe knows that this dude with boyish good lucks from a small Southern town who works a boring-but-memorable day job is going to have the "Idol" superfans (myself included) making embarrassing homemade signs, leaving lengthy comments on blogs, tweeting hashtags that only a few dozen people understand and bitching about how overproduced his major-label debut will be. It's the same formula movie producers use when adding a "2" to the end of a hit movie title. We're sheep, guys.
So go back to the woods with your giant boyfriend, Tent Girl. And to the 17-year-old lady-killer who was compared to a young MJ but reminded me more of the woman who played Gary Coleman on Broadway's "Avenue Q," better luck next year. My personal fave, funky nutjob Ashlee Altise? Your joy-hop dance is about to turn into a depressed stomp.
This is Phillip Phillips' now. Cue the confetti.
So … when's "The Voice" start again?
