Even as the Yankees suffer a late-season slide, Girardi is almost always unflappable.
One summer afternoon in 1974, a nine-year-old boy sat in Busch Stadium, in St. Louis, watching the Cardinals play the Montreal Expos. He sat next to his aunt, in the front row, near the left-field foul pole, and every half inning he rose and pleaded with the players as they exchanged warmup tosses in the outfield: "Throw me a ball!" For most of the game, he was ignored. But, just before the bottom of the seventh inning, the Expos' left fielder, a thirty-one-year-old slugger named Bob Bailey, flipped the boy a ball—and then watched as it bounced off his small, outstretched hands and fell back onto the playing field.
"Son," Bailey said, retrieving the ball and reaching up to hand it to the boy, "if you want a ball, you gotta learn to catch it." He spoke softly, sensing the embarrassment that the boy must be feeling. Bailey remembered the kindness shown him by a major-league player when he was a kid. His father had been a high-school teammate of the Cleveland Indians' pitcher Bob Lemon, and, once, Lemon took young Bailey on a tour of the clubhouse and introduced him to many of the Indians.
Bob Bailey never forgot that experience, and it reaffirmed his desire to play among such men—which he started doing in 1961, with the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. In a seventeen-year career in the majors, he had a hundred and eighty-nine homers in 1,931 games, while knocking in seven hundred and seventy-three runs and posting a career batting average of .257. He made his final plate appearance in 1978, with the Boston Red Sox, as a pinch-hitter in the playoff game in which the New York Yankees' shortstop Bucky Dent hit a three-run homer in the top of the seventh at Fenway Park, to lead the Yanks to a 5–4 victory that propelled them toward a World Series triumph. The Yankees' manager at that time was Bob Lemon, the old Bailey family friend. After the game, Bob Bailey walked over to congratulate Lemon. A couple of weeks later, shortly after marking his thirty-sixth birthday, on October 13th, Bailey retired as a player.
On October 14th, in East Peoria, Illinois, the boy who, four years earlier, had fumbled Bob Bailey's gift ball in St. Louis turned fourteen. The boy's name was Joe Girardi. He went on to be an outstanding defensive catcher in high school and college and later spent fifteen years in the major leagues—as a catcher with the Chicago Cubs (1989-92), the Colorado Rockies (1993-95), the New York Yankees (1996-99), the Cubs again (2000-2002), and, finally, as a backup catcher with the St. Louis Cardinals, playing his last game at Busch Stadium on September 20, 2003, at the age of thirty-eight.
Now, at forty-seven, Girardi is in his fifth year as the manager of the New York Yankees, and, except for his graying hair, which he wears trimmed close to his scalp, he appears to be as physically fit as most players on his team. Standing just under six feet, with broad shoulders, narrow hips, and a flat stomach hardened by daily CrossFit workouts, Girardi is five pounds lighter than his playing weight, of two hundred. The only obvious reminders of his burly strength as a plate-blocking catcher are his thickly muscled forearms, which he began developing as a child, assisting his bricklayer father on weekends.
His voice, however, is soft, reflective, and cautious. He is a straight arrow from the Midwest in the middle of the tabloid hurly-burly of New York City. Even now, as the Yankees are suffering an injury-plagued late-season slide, he is nearly always unperturbed. This stalwart mildness of manner—added to the fact that the Yankees have won only one World Series under his guidance, in 2009—has disappointed many fans. Earlier this year, in the Post, the veteran sportswriter Mike Vaccaro wrote, "Yankee fans are still a little lukewarm about Joe Girardi," and he went on to compare Girardi unfavorably to the late Billy Martin, the colorful, volatile manager whom the Yankees' owner, George Steinbrenner, fired and rehired four times during the seventies and eighties. Girardi succeeded the avuncular and loquacious Joe Torre as manager, in 2008, and, ever since, many sportswriters have found Girardi stubbornly removed. Girardi's responses to questions after games are rarely quotable. In this sense, he remains the man behind the catcher's mask, communicating slyly from a crouched position with his fingers extended, or, when speaking to a batterymate on the mound, whispering along the edges of his upturned mitt.
When the Yankees failed to dominate the Detroit Tigers in the first round of the 2011 playoffs, losing the decisive fifth game by the score of 3–2, journalists were hoping that Girardi would comment candidly on the poor performances of his players—of, in particular, such stars as Alex Rodriguez, who batted only .111 during the series and was 0 for 4 in the finale, striking out three times—once with the bases loaded. But Girardi deflected every question in tones of such equanimity that his true feelings were never evident. He never criticizes his players.
Seated behind a microphone with camera lights deepening the shadows across his dour and ascetic countenance, he continued to deflect questions politely. I imagined him as a soulful figure in a Renaissance painting, a man resigned to the shortcomings of his calling. Like religion, the game of baseball is founded on aspirations rarely met. It generates far more failure than fulfillment. At the press conference, Girardi gave me the impression of a monk in pinstripes.
Before a spring-training game in Clearwater, Florida, Girardi noticed a middle-aged man behind the Yankees dugout holding up a poster that displayed several photographs of a young man, along with the words "Please remember Steven E. Smith." Girardi approached the man, and learned that Steven E. Smith had died in an auto accident, at the age of twenty-four, and had been a zealous Yankees fan who hoped to become a sports broadcaster. The man with the poster was his father. Girardi invited him onto the field to get a closer view of batting practice. He also signed the poster and said he would have it autographed by all his players.
Later in the spring, when he learned that Joba Chamberlain, a Yankees pitcher, had seriously damaged his right ankle while jumping on a trampoline with his five-year-old son, in Tampa, Girardi went to the hospital. Medical reports indicated that it might be a career-ending injury, and some fans questioned the wisdom of Chamberlain's bouncing on a trampoline when he was still recovering from elbow surgery. After a meeting between manager and pitcher that the press described as "emotional," Girardi came out and told reporters a story about how he had once injured his back while tossing a child of his own in the air. "Fathers are fathers," he said.
Not long ago, I visited Girardi at home, in Purchase, New York, where he lives with his wife, Kim, and their children. The house is a gray-stone-and-cedar affair with six bedrooms, and it is situated on the property of a private golf club. Their six-year-old daughter, Lena, had stayed home from school with a sore throat that day, so she came along with us when it was time to head to work at Yankee Stadium. Girardi drives a 2009 Cadillac Escalade, and when he stops at a traffic light fans will often recognize him and wave. As we drove, Lena sat in the back seat and watched a DVD. We passed a gas station near White Plains, and Girardi told me that, back when he was the Yankees' catcher, that was where players' wives used to drop off their husbands to carpool into the Bronx.
When we arrived at Girardi's office, a two-room suite situated behind the dugout, he threw a football back and forth with Lena for several minutes. She is a good catch, and she seemed to relish doing what her father had taught her to do. The office is decorated with autographed football helmets. Girardi played both quarterback and running back in high school; he gave up the game to concentrate on baseball, at Northwestern University. His ten-year-old son, Dante (named after Dante Bichette, Girardi's former teammate on the Colorado Rockies), plays football and most other sports, and, in his father's dressing room in the clubhouse, Dante keeps a Yankees uniform that he puts on to swing at pitches thrown by his father on the infield. Dante wears his hair in a crewcut, like his father.
Bichette and Girardi continue to be close friends, and now both men share an avid interest in Bichette's nineteen-year-old son, Dante, Jr., an infielder selected as the Yankees' top draft pick in June, 2011, who hit .342 with the minor-league Gulf Coast Yankees, based in Tampa. Girardi is enjoying watching his best friend's son, whom he remembers glimpsing for the first time as an infant in a car seat in Bichette's minivan, ascend the Yankees' list of future prospects.
Fathers and sons figure prominently in Girardi's baseball life. After he told me about muffing Bob Bailey's toss in Busch Stadium, back in 1974, I decided to track Bailey down. I reached him in Long Beach, California, where, at sixty-nine, he had recently retired from years spent working in the time-share industry in Las Vegas. I repeated the story of the nine-year-old boy at Busch Stadium, years before. "Oh, yes, I remember that kid, remember his excitement, yelling from near the left-field foul line," Bailey said. Until I told him, Bailey had no idea that the kid grew up to be Joe Girardi.
Bailey reminded me of a story from my own boyhood. In 1944 and 1945, the Yankees held spring training in Atlantic City, New Jersey, fifteen miles north of where I lived. An avid baseball fan, I received my first autograph and also a signed ball from the team's handsome wartime outfielder Johnny Lindell, who was substituting in center field for Joe DiMaggio, while DiMaggio was in the Army Air Forces. Johnny Lindell always posed graciously for snapshots and talked with fans before and after the games, every one of which I attended. Years later, when my love of the Yankees had faded somewhat, I retained my connection with Lindell. Embarked on a love affair in college with a young woman I had met in French class, I booked a room at a motel and, seized with panic, scribbled on the registration form the name of the man I viewed as my protector—Johnny Lindell.
By the time Lindell retired, in 1954, I was out of college (and had signed Lindell's name at other hotel registration desks). I did what many insufficiently blessed aspiring athletes do after they no longer indulge fantasies of playing in the big leagues: I became a sportswriter. I kept the baseball Lindell gave me for about forty years, finally losing it when my house was robbed, in the mid-nineteen-eighties.
The baseball that Bob Bailey gave to Joe Girardi in 1974 was not saved and cherished but was used by its young owner and his pals in pickup games on a lopsided field in East Peoria. "That baseball was better than any we'd ever played with," Girardi said, seated at his U-shaped desk. On a shelf behind him was a baseball signed by the shortstop Derek Jeter, after he got his three-thousandth hit, last year. Next to it was a ball signed by the relief pitcher Mariano Rivera, after he became the major-league career leader in saves, and an older ball bearing the signature of Yogi Berra, one of three ex-Yankee catchers to precede Girardi in becoming the team's manager, the earlier ones being Bill Dickey and Ralph Houk.
The ball from Bailey saw hard use every day until, Girardi recalled, "I ended up losing it in the woods." By that time, it was pretty well ravaged. A year later, he and his friends were invited to join a youth league, where the balls, bats, and uniforms were provided by local sponsors. Girardi was technically too young to be in the league, but the coach played him anyway, because he was more agile and versatile than anyone else on the team. The coach also liked that he was a well-mannered youngster who did as he was told.
Although Girardi preferred the infield to catching, he deferred to the coach's judgment that his strong and accurate throwing arm was best deployed behind the plate. He followed the coach's directives at home, too, including the warning against sleeping in a cold room, to avoid developing a sore arm; and to sleep with a tube sock pulled up over his throwing arm. Even later, during his years as a college player and a professional, he continued to go to bed with his arm in a sock. A rare occasion when he broke this habit occurred in 1989, at the insistence of his bride on their wedding night.
Before Girardi's marriage, the most persuasive woman in his life was his mother, Angela, a petite, carefully coiffed woman with a kindly but uncompromising disposition. She condoned Joe's devotion to sports only if he earned good grades in school. While Girardi's father, Gerald, held three jobs (bricklaying on weekends, bartending at a Howard Johnson's at night, and on weekdays hawking gypsum products as a travelling salesman), his mother stayed up late working toward a master's degree in clinical psychology. The first two Girardi sons, John and George, became physicians; the daughter, Maria, became a professor of mathematics; Joe, the fourth-born, graduated from Northwestern in 1986, with an industrial-engineering degree; and the youngest brother, Gerald, is an accountant.
Joe Girardi is the most religious and contemplative of his siblings, but he is competitive, too, and his competitiveness derives from his boyhood relationship with his father, Gerald, and his two older brothers. Joe often accompanied Gerald in the gypsum-manufacturing-company car on road trips to Iowa, listening to Cubs games on the radio while Gerald stopped to take orders for wallboard.
Gerald Girardi's father was also a bricklayer, a stern and exacting worker who was known to sometimes fling mortar down from his ladder upon the heads of incompetent helpers. His family had emigrated from the vicinity of Turin, in northern Italy.
"I had a temper," Girardi told me. "My father had a temper." Once, when Girardi was about eight, he was playing pool at home and missed a shot. "I threw the stick right through the wall," he said. He managed to cover up the hole by hanging a framed picture over it, and his father never found out. Another time, after Joe and his brother George had broken their bed while wrestling on it, and then tried (unsuccessfully) to conceal their misdeed by propping up the bed with one of Maria's calculus books, their father announced, "All right, you guys wanna fight? I'm gonna cool you off." He then shoved the boys out into the snow in their underwear.
Shortly after Joe turned thirteen, in 1977, his mother was given a diagnosis of cervical cancer. Although she continued for a few years in her job as a school psychologist—and studies toward her doctorate—the family dynamic changed. "We were always trying to please my mom," Girardi said. "It became a conscious effort not to upset her." He vowed to control his temper. On the playing field, he imagined his mother on the sidelines, and dedicated himself to the highest standards in sportsmanship.
"I carried that with me my whole life," he said.
He returned to Cape Cod and he did finish the season, and, after graduating from Northwestern, he began his minor-league career, earning seven hundred dollars a month, with the Peoria Chiefs, an A-level team affiliated with the Chicago Cubs. In August, he was hit by a pitch and fractured a thumb; the injury ended his season. That winter, he supported himself by selling baseball shoes.
In the spring of 1987, fully recovered, he was sent to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to another Cubs A-level farm team, the Spirits. Here he performed very well offensively, but he was despondent much of the time, asking himself, "Why am I playing baseball?" He realized that keeping his mother alive had been a huge incentive, and he went to his manager and said that he was quitting the team.
Girardi nevertheless left the team and returned to Peoria to spend time with his father and with his girlfriend, Kim Innocenzi, whom he had met at Northwestern. Kim was a sorority girl and an evangelical Christian, and she was the one who persuaded him to return to baseball.
"She made me realize that I was playing because God gave me a gift, and I would be able to share God's good news through my gift and talent," he said.
In 1989, Girardi married Innocenzi, who had by then become a third-grade teacher. All her pupils came to the wedding. As soon as her husband joined the major leagues, she started a Chicago Cubs Bible-study group with some other players' wives.
After a season playing winter ball in Venezuela, in 1989, Girardi was promoted from the minors to start on Opening Day at Wrigley Field. He was ecstatic. But, despite his enthusiasm and his defensive skills, he was soon demoted to the minor-league Iowa Cubs, in Des Moines.
After finishing his rookie season, Girardi became the Cubs' starting catcher, appearing in a hundred and thirty-three games and hitting .270. But, the following year, while he was sprinting in the outfield one day during spring training, his heel got entangled with a sprinkler head and he strained his back, a mishap that kept him inactive from April into September. He stayed in Chicago and helped Kim grade math papers.
In 1992, when he was making three hundred thousand dollars a year with the Cubs and was a favorite with the local press, the Girardis finished building a house in Lake Forest, after three years of renting. Shortly after the closing, he learned that the Cubs had left his name unprotected, and the Colorado Rockies, an expansion team, had selected him.
He was stunned and dejected. "They say buying a house in the place you play is the kiss of death," Girardi told me. "I grew up a Cubs fan, and I thought I was always going to be a Cub." Kim helped reconcile him to the move, however, telling him again and again, "This is God's plan." She resigned from her teaching job and headed to Denver, where she bought a pair of cowboy boots and rented an apartment.
Within a week, the outgoing message on the Girardis' answering machine was a snippet of Frank Sinatra singing "New York, New York." They quickly rented a town house in White Plains, owned by Charles Oakley, the onetime Knicks star, and joined the Yankees for spring training, in Tampa.
There was little disappointment in Girardi's 1996-99 career with the Yankees, as the team won the World Series each year except 1997. He gave his first World Series ring to his father. As the team's No. 1 catcher, he was now earning more than two million dollars a year. The second catcher was Jim Leyritz, a seven-year veteran. A promising young catcher, Jorge Posada, was rising through the ranks, though, and Girardi remembers telling Leyritz, "This isn't going to go well for one of us, because Posada is faster, stronger, younger, and he's got a better arm and more power." After the 1996 season, Leyritz was traded, and Girardi was two years away from becoming Posada's backup. He remained with the Yankees as their second catcher and Posada's mentor through 1999, catching David Cone's perfect game at the Stadium, on Yogi Berra Day, July 18, 1999.
At the end of that year, as Girardi turned thirty-five and became a free agent, he went back to the Cubs as their primary catcher, and by 2001 he was a team captain. The most memorable event of his time in Chicago was the emotional announcement that Girardi made in front of a capacity crowd at Wrigley Field, on June 22, 2002, before a scheduled Cubs-Cardinals game.
The reason for the cancellation was that Darryl Kile, a thirty-three-year-old pitcher for the Cardinals, had suffered a heart attack and was discovered dead in his hotel room while the teams were warming up. Girardi's appearance that day as a spokesman for Major League Baseball demonstrated to a large audience what a few in the dugout had long known: Girardi possessed a dignified and refined manner that, combined with his knowledge and love of the game, presented him with appealing possibilities once his playing days were over.
Girardi found that he was much in demand. In 2004, a year after joining the Cardinals and expending most of the little that was left of his catching ability at Busch Stadium, he became a television commentator for the Yankees' YES network. In 2005, he joined the team as the bench coach under Torre. A year later, at forty-one, he was hired to manage a National League franchise, the Florida Marlins.
Although the Marlins' annual payroll, of about fifteen million dollars, was the lowest in major-league baseball, Girardi led the team into wild-card contention until, at the end of the season, it fell to fourth place. Still, the baseball writers' association honored Girardi with the National League Manager of the Year award.
After the 2007 season, George Steinbrenner, unhappy at Joe Torre's failure to bring home a World Series trophy since 2000, made Torre a contract offer he could only refuse. He presented Torre, who had been the Yankees' manager for twelve years, with a one-year, take-it-or-leave-it contract with a base salary of five million dollars, which was two and a half million dollars less than he had earned the previous year. Torre resigned, and he signed a contract to manage the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Yankees replaced Torre with Girardi, signing him to a three-year contract, for $7.8 million. His decision to select 27 as his uniform number was significant. The Yankees franchise had so far won twenty-six World Series titles, and it was Girardi's mission to capture another.
But hard work prevailed, and two years later, following the team's 2009 World Series triumph over the Phillies, Girardi changed his number to 28. The next year, his team was defeated by Texas in the second round of the playoffs, but the Yankees' management signed Girardi to another three-year contract, this time for nine million dollars plus incentives, based on how well the team did in the playoffs.
This season, neither Randy Levine nor other front-office executives have expressed concerns about the capabilities of the team, because, despite continuing injuries to key players and the underperformance of others, the Yankees had the best record in baseball at mid-season (52 wins, 33 losses). The team remained at the top of the American League East during the second half of the season, until a late-season surge by the Baltimore Orioles created a tie for the division leadership. On July 18th, the Yankees enjoyed a ten-game lead, but between late August and the first week of September they lost ten of fourteen games. Suddenly, the usually even-tempered Girardi was showing signs of frustration and anxiety.
Girardi approaches his job like the engineer he studied to be. "You figure out how to make systems run better and be more efficient, and really that's what you're trying to do as a manager," he told the Northwestern alumni magazine in 2008.
Girardi's data used to be contained in a large blue three-ring binder that he carried with him almost all the time, but has since been transferred to an iPad. "I'm a big believer that numbers tell the story, and I also want to know why they tell the story," he told me. The data "is going to tell me a hitter's hot spots, where he doesn't hit the ball, what pitches he hits. I want to know what his strengths are, where he likes the fastball, that he doesn't hit the slider well." He creates matchups, figuring out how particular hitters will do against particular pitchers.
Girardi obliged him, but the next day the newspapers speculated that Brian Cashman, the general manager, was furious at Posada's peevishness, and, along with Hal Steinbrenner, the co-chairman, had considered firing Posada for insubordination.
"Posada has to know the Torre era is indeed over," the baseball columnist Bob Klapisch wrote, in The Record. "The Yankees are no longer a baseball team, they're a corporation, as vast and powerful as Microsoft." In the News, unnamed sources were reminding readers that Girardi, who had lost his Yankees catching job to Posada during the late nineteen-nineties, had reappeared, in 2005, to haunt Posada as Torre's bench coach.
When Girardi is not preoccupied with the health and performance of his team, his mind is often on his father, Gerald, who is now eighty-one and suffers from Alzheimer's, and lives in a nursing home near Peoria. Girardi phones his father once a week to have a one-way conversation; for the past three years, Gerald has been unable to communicate.
When the Yankees are playing in Chicago, Girardi will rent a car and drive the hundred and seventy miles to spend an hour with his father, taking the same road that he did when he went home to Peoria during his student days at Northwestern. I once accompanied him to the nursing home, a two-and-a-half-hour ride past cornfields and grazing cattle.
Driving through the town of Roanoke, his father's birthplace, he pointed out a single-story brick house built decades ago by his bricklaying grandfather, George. He didn't stop, but he mentioned that George always had dark-stained fingers, the result of cracking open walnuts with his bare hands to give pieces of nutmeat to his grandchildren.
In the town of Washington, we drove past a restaurant building that Girardi's father had owned. When Angela became ill, Gerald quit being a road salesman and opened Girardi's, a twenty-five-table restaurant, doing nearly all the cooking himself. Joe worked as a waiter after school and on weekends, as did his siblings.
Driving into East Peoria, we passed the Girardis' old house, and continued through the neighborhood where Joe had once had a paper route. He said he hoped that he would hold on to his position as the Yankees' manager long enough so that Dante could get a part-time job in the clubhouse at Yankee Stadium, where, among other tasks, he would wash towels.
We pulled up to the nursing home, and as Girardi walked in he was greeted by staff members—as usual, some had baseballs for him to sign, which he did without hesitation. He continued to his father's room, and he was welcomed at the door by Judy Shea, a family friend who has been his father's companion since some years after Angela's death. She had been feeding Gerald a piece of carrot cake she had baked.
Girardi walked over to the wheelchair where his father sat. He leaned over the older man, who, wearing beige warmup clothes, was leaning back with his eyes closed. He did not respond as his son greeted him in a loud and cheerful voice: "Hi, Dad. I love you, Dad." Girardi repeated this a few times, but his father remained motionless. The physical resemblance between father and son was striking. If you looked at their matching buzz cuts and high cheekbones, it was easy to imagine what Joe Girardi might look like in thirty years.
For the next half hour, he and Shea sat across from each other at a table and talked about family matters, and Girardi ate a slice of carrot cake. When his father moved to the nursing home, Girardi had to take back the World Series ring he'd given him, for safekeeping. He glanced every once in a while in his father's direction.
After a while, Girardi stood up, embraced Shea, and said goodbye. Before leaving the room, he looked again at his father, leaned forward, and kissed him on the forehead. "I love you, Dad," he said.


By doing a quick search in the mighty Google Search for "PHP OOP", you get a ton of results. There are the good ones and the bad ones as always, and hopefully one day, this one. I will also be covering the real basics of OOP in PHP, for me, to recap, and hopefully for someone to learn from it.
OOP is Object-Orientated Programming, what this means is that you use objects in your application to do certain tasks and use it to define certain "things" you will be using in your application. In php, to create an object you have to create a class and "instantiate" the class to create an object.
Note: A class in PHP is not an Object. The difference between a class and an object is the following: A Class in PHP can be seen as the "plan" or "blueprint" for your object, which it the "thing" you want to use.
In the code sample above, we create a class with the name Task, this is what the class keyword is for. This is the blueprint for any task going forward. We give it a value holder for the name of the task, which is called a property of the class. We also add a function in the class which will echo out the name of the task, these functions in a class setting are called 'methods'.
To create a new task object based on the Task class, we use the keyword new, this tells PHP that it needs to create a new object based on the class. After we create the task object, we set the name property of the task object as "SomeTask", and finally we print out to the screen the value returned by the printName() method.
Tip: A property is something that an object has, like a car has a wheel, a bird has a wing, a mouse has a tail and a shopping cart has a product. A method is something that the object can do, like a car can drive, a bird can fly, a mouse can run and a shopping cart can calculate the total of its contents. If you get that difference you should be good to understand the difference between when something needs to be a property and when it has to be a method.
As you can see from our class above, the property and the method have the public prefix to them. This means that the method or the property can be "called" (this is the same as executed) from anywhere in the application. There are 3 levels of visibility, "public", "protected" and "private". If you were to change the visibility of the method to private, you will get an error that says the method can only be run from within that class from within other methods. If you should change it to protected, you will also get the error, stating that the method can only be run from within that class or any sub-classes which inherit from it. (We will be looking at inheritance in the next article). I'll leave you to change and play with the code to see what results you get.
That, in a nutshell is the bare bones basics of how to get started in OOP in PHP, there are a lot of subjects still to cover in OOP in PHP and I'll cover them as we go along. For now though, that is it and I'll update this entry with links to the other related articles.

Q: Eclipse (CDT) auto-format on save is different than auto-format explicitely I use the auto-formatter in eclipse an like it very much.
The problem is, that it does not alway behave as it is expected to:
For template parameters I have configured it to have no spaces after and before the braces, like <int>. This works well for built-in types, but it does not for self-defined types like uint16_t from #include <cstdint>.
The weird thing here is, that it works with the shortcut ctrl+shift+f, but it does not work with "format on save". <uint16_t> is transformed into < uint16_t >.
How can that be fixed?

"The One who has done the greatest thing of all for you, must be concerned about you in everything, and though the clouds are thick and you cannot see His face, you know He is there. Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. Now hold on to that. You say that you do not see His smile. I agree that these earth born clouds prevent my seeing Him, but He is there and He will never allow anything finally harmful to take place. Nothing can happen to you but what He allows, I do not care what it may be, some great disappointment, perhaps, or it may be an illness, it may be a tragedy of some sort, I do not know what it is, but you can be certain of this, that God permits that thing to happen to you because it is ultimately for your good. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness ... (Hebrews 12. 11). (Spiritual Depression Its Causes and Cure, 145)"
— D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones —
"When adults tell you they are concerned about you,what they usually mean is that they think you are up to no good and are about to have you tested,or increase your medication.Or transfer you to military school."
— John David Anderson
"It's not technically gossip if you start your sentence with "I'm really concerned about __________________ ," (fill in the name of the person you're not gossiping about)."
— Brian P. Cleary
"I want to go much further than that. I want to point out that when Jesus spoke, whether it be of blessing or wealth or prosperity or what-have-you, He was rarely speaking of what is physical, what is tangible, what is seen.
I don't think Jesus was nearly as concerned with our circumstances as He was with our character.
With Jesus, it's all about what's on the inside. It always has been. It always will be. When He promised us blessing and wealth and prosperity, the very last thing He was talking about was money."
— Cole Ryan
"When you are doing what I've asked you to do, you don't have to worry about getting to the farm. I'll bring you the farmer instead. And when you think you have lost sight of all your sketches, just know that it's okay. I know where the sketches are, what they need to be, and I will never leave you.
Let go of the grief and the sorrow. Release the anger and the plans set in stone. Because I hold your sketch in My hand the way Mr. Gentry did in his. I watch and I draw - even when you don't know. I am concerned with all things that concern you."
— Angie Smith
"Beware! Balance rules the cosmos. It is not concerned with good or bad. You can be struck by misfortune and be buried in grief if that is what it takes to restore the imbalance you have wrought unto the world."
— Psyche Roxas-Mendoza
"You are not one of Pentrigrel's creations. This is not where you belong. He will not keep his word to you. He is concerned only with himself. You cannot condemn yourself to this over Lunette's fate."
— T.A. Miles
"I am not concerned about results. The only thing I am concerned about is the process. How you tried to achieve something matters more than what you achieved."
— Sharad Vivek Sagar
"That's the problem with fiction - or the charm, if you want. Even mediocre plots have a way of sinking their hooks into you, until you find yourself concerned for the fates of characters who aren't even fully convincing."
— Charles McGrath
"I'm not concerned with whether you got to the top. I want to know how far you climbed. That is where the real achievement is found."
— William James Moore
"Here's another analogy. Human beings bring only a handful of facial features to the blueprint of how we look-two eyes, two eyebrows, a nose, a mouth, a pair of cheekbones, and two ears, all pasted onto a somewhat ovular-to-round face. That particular blueprint doesn't often vary much, either. Interestingly enough, this is about the same number of essential storytelling parts and milestones that each and every story needs to showcase in order to be successful. Now, consider this: With only these eleven variables to work with, ask yourself how often you see two people who look exactly alike. In a crowd of ten thousand faces, you would be able to differentiate each and every one of them, other than a set of twins or two in attendance. Where we humans are concerned, the miracle of originality resides in the Creator, who applies an engineering-driven process-eleven variables- to an artistic outcome. Where art is concerned, there is something to be learned from that."
— Larry Brooks
"If one day I was taken away ... would you wait for me to come back?"
Concerned moved across his face. "Where are you going?"
"Just tell me, please. I need to know, without telling you anything else."
I swallowed and blinked back tears.
"I'd go after you," he said."
— Kelly Parra
"I settled back on the bed with my own heavy sigh. The point of this reluctant outpouring of all my crap isn't to make you feel guilty. I don't need anyone to be concerned for me. That's my point. Will that change one day? I don't know. I'm not asking it to. But Rhian, when you trusted James with all you baggage you decided that day that you were asking someone to be concerned. You were tired of being alone. Will staying with him be hard? Yes. Will fighting your fears every day be difficult? Yes. But how he feels for you ... jeez, Rhian ... that's worth it. And telling yourself that it's okay to run way from him to be alone just because I'm alone and okay with it, is bullshit. I'm alone because I just am. You're alone because you made a choice. And it's the wrong fucking choice."
— Samantha Young
"As far as everyone is concerned, I'm in love with you today and tomorrow."
— Jamie McGuire
"Ah," said Mr Pin. "Right. I remember. You are concerned citizens." He knew about concerned citizens. Wherever they were, they all spoke the same private language, where 'traditional values' meant 'hang someone'."
— Terry Pratchett
"It gave Jane a wicked sense of satisfaction that he'd noticed that aspect of her sister's personality, but she tried not to sound too arrogant. "Savannah doesn't worry about homework. Apparently they don't care about your GPA when you apply for beauty school."
"Beauty school, huh? I would have thought she'd already graduated valedictorian from there."
Jane blinked at him in frustration.
Fairy's side note: Adults are constantly telling teen- agers that it's what's on the inside that matters. It's al- ways painful to find out that adults have lied to you.
Hunter shrugged. "I guess I shouldn't have assumed you'd be like Savannah where math is concerned."
Meaning: After all, you aren't pretty like she is."
— Janette Rallison
"If you aren't having no fun, die, because you're running a worthless program, far as I'm concerned."
— Gil Scott-Heron
"James, that's a bad situation. I'm not saying it's not repairable, but it's pretty far. When you go from being in one of the best bands in the world to some cover band ... as far as I'm concerned, he was playing down at the pub."
— Billy Corgan
"All I need is
backup. He's the little angel that sits on my shoulder whispering in my ear,
"You can do it!" It's funny. I'm thirty years old now and I still feel like a little
girl. I'm still looking around to check and see what other people are doing
to make sure I'm not completely different; I'm still looking around for help,
hoping for a quick nudge and a whisper of advice. But I can't seem to be able
to catch anybody's eye. Nobody else around me seems to be looking around
and wondering what to do. Why is it that I feel like I'm the only person who
is confused and concerned about the choices I've made and where I'm
headed? Everywhere I look, I see people just getting on with it. Maybe I
should just follow suit and get on with it."
— Cecelia Ahern
"I just don't understand how you can not be concerned about your appearance. From time to time I'm vilified as the person who cares about the look of a teapot - and it's not that I believe my taste is superior, I just can not believe that other people don't care."
— Stephen Bayley
"Cory rested his leg on his opposite knee, apparently not concerned about his steel-gray tux. The guy might've stepped off a page in GQ, he was that handsome. In fact, she might've called him the most gorgeous man in the room, if not for the blond, eye-maskless pirate scowling at the head table. He would win that contest, effortlessly. In jeans and a T-shirt. In a flawless tux. Or better yet, completely naked. "You could choose to look at it as a hand, not a handout." "I can take"
— Cari Quinn
"I've never concerned myself with the labels people want to put on you. What matters to me is my own estimation."
— Jean Dujardin
"The problem with being an alpha is that you can never make the first move.
Makes you feel like you're taking advantage of your position. You have to wait until
the other person decides they want in."
Jim set the basket on the coffee table and crouched by me.
"And sometimes it seems like that person likes you, and you try to test the waters,
so you try to tell her how you feel, that she matters and that you want to be with her
and you're concerned about her safety. And every time you do that, she waves her
arms around and accuses you of being a controlling alpha asshole. So you back off
and hope you didn't completely fuck it up."
He was close, too close. I just stared at him. What was happening ... "Why are
you telling me this?"
His voice was low and smooth. "That time when I told you it didn't matter what
your mother thought about your looks ... "
"Aha ... "
"I meant it," he said. "Because I think you're beautiful."
— Ilona Andrews
"I do not go outdoors ... As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of living in New York City is indoors. You want greenery? Order the spinach."
— David Rakoff
"You know how sometimes when you're drifting off to sleep you feel that jolt, like you were falling and caught yourself at the last second? It's nothing to be concerned about, it's usually just the parasite adjusting its grip."
"I feel that is what our Lord is saying to us. Here are some of the heavenly things. They are revealed in the Scriptures. First, there is the teaching concerning the blessed Holy Trinity, God in three persons and yet only one God-Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Think of the glory of God if you can. This is what we are concerned about. This is what Christianity is. Christianity is not just about being nice and good and moral and a little bit better than obvious sinners. It is not expressing your opinions on the current political problems of the day. Those are earthly things. The content of this, the real basis of this, the real essence of this is the heavenly things."
— D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
"We went back to the hotel to take our clothes off immediately, as though this were our only purpose, and I recollect that this was about loneliness, as far as I was concerned. The thing you did to alleviate the loneliness was to take off your clothes and touch someone, even if you didn't really know the person well. I could just as easily have asked her to let me lie down on top of her fully clothed on a couch in the lobby of the Hampton Inn and Suites, but I didn't know that then. I thought I was supposed to take off my clothes, and I wanted her to take off her clothes, and somehow this seemed a foregone conclusion, perhaps because each of us had started with no face and no body, as a condition of modern life, and now we were here and we wanted to celebrate the fact that we were not hideous, not entirely, and we were in the flesh."
— Rick Moody
"The One who has done the greatest thing of all for you, must be concerned about you in everything, and though the clouds are thick and you cannot see His face, you know He is there. 'Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face.' Now hold on to that. You say that you do not see His smile. I agree that these earth born clouds prevent my seeing Him, but He is there and He will never allow anything finally harmful to take place. Nothing can happen to you but what He allows, I do not care what it may be, some great disappointment, perhaps, or it may be an illness, it may be a tragedy of some sort, I do not know what it is, but you can be certain of this, that God permits that thing to happen to you because it is ultimately for your good. 'Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness ... ' (Hebrews 12. 11). (Spiritual Depression Its Causes and Cure, 145)"
"But thinking is something different, altogether! Think always as if the hot hand of hell were grabbing for you. Think to the limit of your mind. Imagine, dream, hope, want things, drive yourself to goodness. Whatever you do ... do it to the absolute best of your ability. Never take the easy way where thinking is concerned."
— James A. Michener
"Cars let us out of the barn and, while they were at it, destroyed the American nuclear family. As anyone who has had an American nuclear family can tell you, this was a relief to all concerned."
— P. J. O'Rourke
"I'm more concerned, just as you used to be, with the world as a riddle than with the riddles in the world. I'm more concerned with natural than the supernatural. And I feel more wonder for our inscrutable brain than for all these loose anecdots about the 'extrasensory'."
— Jostein Gaarder
"I completely understand why people are concerned about immigration. There's no silver bullet, no one thing you can do to suddenly deal with all the problems and concerns with immigration, and that includes leaving the E.U."
— Theresa May
"You have to focus on what you're passionate about. For me it's the forests and of course, because I'm concerned about the forests, I'm concerned about the way paper is made."
— Woody Harrelson
"The work of democratic government is routinely concerned with matters defined as troubles. In "The Presidency and the Press" I make the point, familiar to anyone who has flown about the world much, that the best quick test of the political nature of a regime is to read the local papers on arrival. If they are filled with bad news, you have landed in a libertarian society of some sort. If, on the other hand, the press is filled with good news, it is a fair bet that the jails will be filled with good men."
— Daniel Patrick Moynihan
"My advisors were concerned you would be difficult, but you're not planning on being difficult at all, are you?" "No."
— Suzanne Collins
"As a character actor, I've learned that you have to watch yourself because nobody else is watching. Nobody is concerned with you."
— James Cromwell
"People often say to me - how clever you are! How brilliant to be able to go from ballet to theatre as you do. I answer that it is not clever at all. It is the gift of looking at oneself coolly, of calculating the future objectively. I could see the danger signals as far as ballet was concerned before anyone else did, that's all."
— Robert Helpmann
"To be honest, I'm more concerned with living my life than writing about my life. I feel like that's really the main thing I know now that I didn't know when I was younger - and that is that you have to have a life to write about one. If you're more worried about having experiences so you can write about them, I think you're kinda being ridiculous, and I think a lot of young people look at it like that."
— Jeff Tweedy
"A good base stealer should make the whole infield jumpy. Whether you steal or not, you're changing the rhythm of the game. If the pitcher is concerned about you, he isn't concentrating enough on the batter."
— Joe Morgan
"You know, I'm really busted up over this and I'm very, very sorry to those people in the audience, the blacks, the Hispanics, whites - everyone that was there that took the brunt of that anger and hate and rage and how it came through, and I'm concerned about more hate and more rage and more anger coming through, not just towards me but towards a black/white conflict."
— Michael Richards
"Theatre is very much concerned with the society, with the social situation ... A theatre piece of itself, demands a confrontation with the audience. It demands that you connect with people; it demands a collective and social effort with the company and later with the audience."
— Griselda Gambaro
"Elections officials here in California are concerned that having 247 candidates would require a ballot so long it would be difficult to count. Today in Florida they said, 'What? You count the ballots?'"
— Jay Leno
"You will know that the divine is so great and of such a nature that it sees and hears everything at once, is present everywhere, and is concerned with everything."
— Socrates
"As far as I'm concerned, this guy should never play football again. The answer you normally get after a tackle like that is 'he is not the type of guy who does that.' It's like a guy who kills one time in his life - it's enough. You have a dead person. This tackle is absolutely horrendous."
— Arsene Wenger
"Men are less hesitant about harming someone who makes himself loved than one who makes himself feared because love is held together by a chain of obligation which, since men are wretched creatures, is broken on every occasion in which their own interests are concerned; but fear is sustained by dread of punishment which will never abandon you."
— Niccolo Machiavelli
"At this time of crisis we cannot be concerned solely with ourselves, withdrawing into loneliness, discouragement and a sense of powerlessness in the face of problems. Please do not withdraw into yourselves! This is a danger: we shut ourselves up in the parish, with our friends, within the movement, with the like-minded ... but do you know what happens? When the Church becomes closed, she becomes an ailing Church, she falls ill! That is a danger ... A Church closed in on herself is the same, a sick Church."
— Pope Francis
"People say, 'What do you mean you want to help the world, but you're so concerned about fashion?' It's illegal to be naked. It is something that is extremely important."
— Kanye West
"My effort here is to help you to feel that existence is not indifferent towards you. It is deeply concerned about you, it cares for you, it loves you. and when one feels loved and cared for, one is capable of loving and caring. when existence pours its love into you, you start sharing your love with others. You become so burdened with love that you have to share. You cannot contain it, it is uncontainable. It starts spreading, radiating."
— Rajneesh
"Existence cares. When I say God cares I mean that existence cares for you, it is not indifferent. Let this be the foundation of your sannyas and then the temple can be raised very easily. It is easy to raise the temple once the foundation is rightly put. This is the foundation stone: remember that existence loves you, cares about you, is concerned about you; that you are not alienated, that you are not a stranger, that you are part of this great symphony, this orchestra, this celebration that goes on and on and knows no ending."
"If you have a problem or desire a healing, try this exercise before falling asleep. Catch yourself at that point just before you fall asleep - between waking and sleep. Imagine bathing yourself with the healing orange light. You then can ask the Inner Master to help you regain spiritual balance by saying, "If it's for the good of all concerned and doesn't interfere with my spiritual growth, would you please heal me?" Then holding that thought, drift into sleep."
— Harold Klemp
"One of the issues that we professional newspaper columnists are required by union regulations to voice grave concern about is the federal budget deficit, which we refer to as the "mounting" deficit, because every extra word helps when you have to produce a certain number of gravely concerned newsprint inches."
— Dave Barry

City of East Lansing >> City Center 2 Financial Data
Title: BANs on the Consent Agenda
Author: Eliot Singer
Additional Categories: City Council -2011 - 2013 -2014-2015-2016-2017, Recent Essays, CC-2 Financial data, City Center II -2010 & 2011 & 2012 & 2013 & 2014 &2015-2016-2017, Nathan Triplett, Eliot Singer, Unsatisfactory City Management, Victory Loomis
BANs on the Consent Agenda
"The citizens of East Lansing have a right for Council to debate in public session with public input..."
So much for hoping things would be any different under the new City Manager. According to the January 31 Council work session agenda, the plan is to put a resolution for refinancing the BANs on the Consent Agenda for next week. No public input. No debate. Just the same old rubberstamp. Forbidding misuse of the Consent Agenda is high on the list of reforms to restore democracy to East Lansing after the Staton regime.
We all understand why City Hall wants to avoid public discussion. They issued $5.45 million to buy properties worth about a third that for a boondoggle with a developer who even at the time was an appalling risk. They don't want to talk about that. They don't want to talk about the money already wasted and the added cost for refinancing. They don't want to talk about the developer or that there is no realistic prospect for development in the next three years.
They don't want to be forced to admit that the pretext this is all paid for by the DDA is a lie, because the DDA is obligated to repatriate any diverted tax revenues it cannot put to good use, so money squandered by the DDA is no different than money squandered by the general fund. Anyway, the DDA does not have enough money to pay for principal plus interest, so a pledge to pay for bonds backed by full faith and credit of taxpayers is just "words, words, words."
I suppose they don't want to debate different refunding options, because the financial illiterates on Council will show how illiterate they are. Sorry, this is a democracy. Baird does not make decisions for this city. Our elected Council does.
I have no problem with Baird making a recommendation, as long as it provides different options for our elected Council to debate. Baird wants a short term refunding BAN. But its reason is based on the assumption something will happen soon with City Center II or that the properties will be sold. Does Baird understand these properties had an assessed market value for 2011 of $1,535,400, and it is likely to be even lower for 2012?
There is no realistic scenario in which a redevelopment at the City Center II site can generate sufficient TIF and parking revenues for debt service on the BANs. Baird's secret $28.5 million bond issue/debt service plan proved that. With the fanciful CC II built and successful, it ran a deficit of $8-$10 million during the first decade. Waving a magic wand to make the numbers add up over 28 years is irrelevant. More modest, less risky, future redevelopment options would all require TIF reimbursement to a developer that would leave little or nothing leftover for the BANs. Of course, actually building a parking structure would require more debt service than any net parking revenues, like all the other parking structures.
Baird estimates a long-term bond at 3.75% interest (I can buy that). It has dismissed this option because it wants to build in call provisions that would lead to a much higher rate. With muni-bond yields at historic lows, there is no need for call provisions, and bond investors won't care what happens to the properties, because the bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the city. The intent to bond resolution just said debt service by DDA TIF not project specific TIF, which it should have but didn't. So the DDA can use its diverted taxes plus subsidies from the general fund for the shortfall, all perfectly legal, if disgusting.
A simple calculation of $5.75 million at 3.75% for 25 years comes to about $350,000 per year or $8,750,000 over 25 years. (Current interest-only on the BANs is about $200,000.) My suggestion of delaying principal for five years until the University Place bonds are paid off, assuming 4% interest on $5.75 million, comes to $230,000 for the first five years then $420,000 for 20 years, a total over 25 years of $9,090,000.
A 3-year refunding BAN at 2% interest and no principal on $5.75 million would be $115,000 for three years. But if interest rates on $6 million refunding in three years were at 5% that would be $420,000 for 25 years, a total over 28 years of $10,845,000. Of course, we don't know what interest rates will be in three years, but we know they are currently at historic lows and that the city has a AAA Fitch rating that is unlikely be sustained, so there is a very real risk that 5% interest in three years is a highly optimistic assumption. Whatever legal issues may need to be fudged for a long term bond with no City Center II will be the same in three years as now.
The option of refinancing the BANs with a DDA revenue bond, not backed by full faith and credit of the city, also needs to be considered. If the city had chosen the DDA revenue bond route in the first place for such an extreme real estate speculation, we would not be in this mess, but of course the bond market would have refused to fund them, which is why LTGO bonds were substituted. I do not believe refinancing with DDA revenue bonds is a realistic option, but there are citizens who think it may be, so it needs be thoughtfully discussed and the argument against it fully explained.
If Council wishes to go along with Baird's recommendation after an open public debate with full information about different options, that is within its right. My calculation is that a long-term bond, with interest-only until the University Place bonds are complete, is the best possibility. My assumption is based on accepting that the city was sold a lemon and has no choice but to cut its losses instead of hoping something will come along to get exonerate those who are to blame.
The citizens of East Lansing have a right for Council to debate in public session with public input the assumptions and the options for significant financial decisions. The citizens of East Lansing also have a right to know which members of Council can intelligently discuss assumptions and options for significant financial decisions and which cannot.

Wear-Ever pots and utensils have played an important role in North American cuisine, and one unexpected way is in the making of applesauce. A few years ago I was visiting a friend and she was making applesauce to preserve for her grandchildren. "So much work," she complained, "all that peeling and coring." I said to her that I probably would never make applesauce if I had to do all that work and I explained to her how I make applesauce the way my mother (and probably a lot of women in North America) did who bought Wear-Ever pots and utensils.
These aluminum products were marketed by door-to-door salesmen across Canada and the United States, although in Canada they could also be purchased from Eaton's catalogue[i]. By the 1940's Wear-Ever accounted for more than 40 percent of the aluminum cookware business in the United States. I imagine it was about this time that my mother bought the Ever-Wear cooking utensils that were in our home until a fire destroyed much of it.
Wear-Ever products were marketed as "the new method of cooking". A US pamphlet circa 1930 titled Wear-Ever Aluminum Specialties states, "The purpose of the "Wear-Ever" New Method of Cooking is to cook foods without loss of natural flavors and valuable mineral elements"[v]. The emphasis was on "water-less" cooking as a way to retain the nutritional value of the food. The Wear-Ever cookbook shown here says "A large part of the mineral contained in vegetables and fruits lies directly beneath the skins. Avoid peeling these foods whenever possible".
I basically follow this method but I will sometimes add a small amount of water to the pot to prevent scorching on the bottom. Once you put the apples through the food press only the peels and bits of core are left, so there is little waste and a lot less effort.
Here is my mother's Food Press No. 8 with the applesauce I prepared in it to be preserved this year. It has been well used and even survived the house fire!
