Hope Hostel is not a 5-star hotel. But it isn't a dump, either.

Mayor Turner gives his remarks on the TEA taking over HISD
Mayor Turner shares his thoughts on TEA taking over HISD. Under the current superintendent and new school board, there has been significant progress made in HISD. Forty of 50 former D or F schools are in a much better status today. “This takeover is not about the quality of education. If you look at the Texas Legislature, several bills have been filed to pre-empt the authority of the city of Houston and other local jurisdictions. HISD happens to be one of those local jurisdictions. You cannot run school districts, cities, and counties from Austin, Texas. You tell me how this benefits the kids? Instead of grading the students and the teachers, the Texas Education Agency needs to grade themselves on how they are handling this matter. I give them an F." - Mayor Turner

Blackhat Trailer
"Hack" has been a keyword in many Hollywood headlines these days due to the recent attack on Sony Pictures, but for right now we're going to take a look at another angle on cyber terrorism. The latest trailer for Michael Mann's Blackhat has arrived online. The first film that Michael Mann has made since 2009's Public Enemies, and based on a script the filmmaker co-wrote with newcomer Morgan Davis Foehl, Blackhat centers around the search for a mysterious but incredibly powerful cyber criminal who has been incredibly destructive and able to evade both the American and Chinese authorities. The sound logic is applied that in order to catch a hacker you need a hacker, so to help them out they make a deal with Nicholas Hathaway (Chris Hemsworth), an incarcerated genius who helps trace the antagonist from Chicago to Hong Kong.
