Rotten Apples? Hardly!
A few weeks ago Time magazine hit the news stands with this horrific cover:
When the article came out progressive bloggers went ballistic and Facebook was full of links to send letters to the editors of Time to decry their cover, which stated (wrongly) that is was impossible to fire a teacher. Having written several posts on this topic, I clicked on the AFT's link and sent a letter explaining the reality of the situation, namely that teachers have a probationary period that is typically three years and that some of the teachers who "opted out" of the profession were, in fact, counseled out. Because of this, the reality is that 98% of the teachers are doing well in their work even though this fact vexes politicians like Andrew Cuomo.
My daughter in Brooklyn who shares my frustration at the bashing of public education sent me a link to this blog post from Valerie Strauss of the Washington Post, who dedicated most of the space to a well researched letter to Time in response to their reprehensible cover. Written by Nancy F. Chewning, assistant principal of William Byrd High School in Roanoke, VA, the letter includes the following points, some of which I have not made in my earlier posts decrying the bashing of teachers:
- Aspiring teachers are held in low esteem on campuses
- Teachers make substantially less than others with an equal education
- The OECD reports that "American teachers work far longer hours than their counterparts abroad."
- No other professions are held to a 100% standard- Only teachers!
- And this gem: "According to a new study from the Journal of Patient Safety, 440,000 people per year die from preventable medical errors. In fact, this study found that medical errors were the third leading cause of death in the United States today." Are we closing hospitals because of this? Are doctors losing tenure because of this?
- The NEA [National Education Association] ranks 221st in terms of lobbying expenditures… WELL behind banks, military, and other professions— like doctors– who are not depicted as "Rotten Apples"
The letter describes the money teachers spend on their own supplies and to provide their students with food, school supplies, and clothing. It describes the time teachers spend advocating for their children outside of school. It describes the responsibilities teachers are asked to assume for the well-being of their children. And it describes the devastating impact poverty has on the children in Roanoke, VA, impact that is felt in every district that serves children who are raised in poverty across the country.
I wish some political leader in our country would stand up for public education and especially for the teachers who work tirelessly to help children raised in poverty…. but it's easier to blame teachers than to blame poverty because "fixing" poverty requires the redistribution of wealth and (gasp) spending money on people in our country who are in need. Here's hoping the silence about poverty ends as we consider who to elect for President in 2016.
TBTF Banks Forgiven, Students Not
Common Dreams featured an article by Robert Shetterly on USDOE whistleblower Jon Oberg who learned about and investigated the Department's links to TBTF banks and those bank's links to politicians. The first half of the article explains the importance of getting a college degree in our economy and the devastating effect of student debt on individuals and our economy. Shetterly emphasizes that this debt is not evenly distributed among college graduates: it falls heaviest on those from less affluent homes. And the amount of debt we are talking about is huge: $1,180,000,000,000!
The average liability per student—whether they earn a degree or not—is nearly $30,000. The poorest 25% of the student population—people with less than $8,000 in assets—own 60% of that debt. How does that debt shape—or should we say engineer?—the direction and quality of their lives, their ability to contribute as citizens and creators of culture? How does that debt narrow the choices available to them, making their young lives into a burden rather than an adventure? College and advanced degrees have always been promoted as the key to advancement, good jobs, and upward mobility. Today, college education is still promoted with those claims, but the key has been thrown away. The student graduates into a lock box of debt.
But the students loss is the bankers' gain, and the bankers, who want to keep the money flowing, use some of their profits to make sure the loopholes that allow them to make high interest private loans to students in place. Compounding the problem is that the USDOE uses some of the revenue from student loans to fund its own operation.
The article concludes with a persuasive argument for forgiving all of the student loans, noting that we spent at least a trillion on the war in Iraq without raising taxes and neglecting to point out the obvious: we bailed out TBTF banks who are profiting from these loans! His penultimate paragraph reads:
One trillion given to students and the promise of free higher education would revitalize this country and be repaid many times over. Our country's greatest asset is the energy and creativity of our young people. Why allow that energy to be siphoned off to increase the wealth of a handful of millionaires? Isn't that a form of cultural suicide?
It IS a form of cultural suicide and one that I am ashamed to see happening to an entire generation so that my generation doesn't have to pay taxes. Forgive the debt and if you need the money to close the deficit or engage in wars in the Middle East, raise my taxes. If you had to raise my taxes to fund wars, you might not spend that money in the future.
Parents Push Back on Tests
The New York Times is finally noticing that parents are pushing back against standardized testing… and with some coaching might begin to recognize that the whole standardized testing movement is based on simplistic and wrongheaded thinking.
Today's paper features an article by Lizette Alvarez describing the parent pushback against the wide array of mandated standardized tests in FLA, testing that expanded greatly as a result of Jeb Bush's initiatives a decade ago that was compounded by RTTT. I left a comment that was just under the 1500 character limit that made the following points:
- Standardized tests do not measure the quality of education,
- The new test results are lower because of the way they are scaled
- Using those tests to measure teacher performance is invalid and simplistic.
- Using test as the primary measure for "quality" will increase the focus on testing in the classroom.
- Politicians love standardized tests!
Standardized tests do not measure the quality of education: States have administered standardized tests for decades and the results are always the same: affluent districts serving the children of well educated parents always outscore the financially strapped districts serving children raised in poverty. The new test will be no different EXCEPT that there will be more failing students and schools.
The new test results are lower because of the way they are scaled: The new Common Core tests expand the number of "failing" schools because they are scaled to an artificial and idealized standard that assumes all students will graduate from high school ready for college instead of being scaled to the mean scores of an age cohort as they have been in the past. As a result, more students are "failing", more schools are "falling", and more districts are "failing". Whether this is a bug or a feature depends on the extent to which you believe that politicians are in cahoots with squillionaires who are investing in for-profit charter schools and technology companies. For now, I'm on the fence. I think some politicians listen to investors but I also believe some politicians are naively convinced that schools CAN be measured based on test scores and test scores CAN improve if kids and teachers work harder. They believe this in large measure because considering the alternative might require them to raise taxes to provide more support for children raised in poverty.
Using those tests to measure teacher performance is invalid and simplistic: The value-added methodology that uses test scores to measure "growth" of students, teachers, and schools is a statistical artifact. There are reams of scholarly articles that undercut the validity of this approach. I've written about this frequently on this blog… enough said.
Using test as the primary measure for "quality" will increase the focus on testing in the classroom: When test results are used to evaluate teachers, to determine if schools will be closed, and to determine if entire districts will be taken over by the state or turned over to for-profit entrepreneurs, it is not surprising that they become the focal point in every classroom…. and as noted in a post earlier today, when those districts are strapped for money they cut everything BUT test preparation activities.
Politicians love standardized tests! They love the tests because they yield precise data that is inexpensive to collect and prove that schools are failing because of "bad teachers" and if the TEACHERS are the problem the fix for "failing schools" is inexpensive and fast: replace the "dead wood" teachers with new (and less expensive) teachers. Voila!
It is heartening to see that the Times is reporting on this nascent movement among parents… but somewhat distressing to see them reporting on this a month after the dust-ups in FLA and a week after a close election in that state and in several other states where "reform minded" governors got elected. Maybe after a spring of rebellion on tests some Presidential candidate will stand up against the test-and-punish approach and begin supporting the importance of public education and the effects poverty has on learning.

Lehman Brothers taps Jones Lang LaSalle to sell Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua
Send this to a friend
- Staff Pacific Business News
Lehman Brothers Holdings has listed the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, resort on Maui for sale with Jones Lang LaSalle Inc.
Reuters reports the hospitality group at Jones Lang LaSalle (NYSE: JLL) is expected to market the 54-acre property through early summer, and reports that the hotel is expected to sell for more than $200 million.
An earlier report said Lehman Brothers Holdings planned to time the sale with Hawaii's rising tourism numbers.
Lehman acquired the Ritz-Carlton, the eighth-largest hotel on Maui, through foreclosure last year.

The Entrepreneur's Corner
Social media starting points
I am astounded by how many businesses today, both small and large, underutilize social networking sites such as Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter. While these sites get so much traffic, many entrepreneurs, business people and companies feel social networking is not important enough for them to engage in.
While the media hypes the millions of people on these social networks, many small businesses say their focus is on the customer base in their community. Still, the numbers still range in hundreds of thousands.
We have seen clients get customers, grow their business, and even get a quarter of a million dollar investment from a college buddy they haven't talked to in 20 years!
Here are some significant facts beyond the number of users: the average social user has 195 friends; 77 percent of internet users read blogs; the typical Linkedin user is 41 years of age with $110K income; more than a third of the 190 million Twitter account users access via their mobile phone; the average Facebook user spends more than 7 hours a month on the site, which was the most-visited website in the U.S. last year, beating out Google. (Facts from Nielsen, Quantcast, Tech Crunch and Online Media Gazette)
Did you know 78 percent of consumers trust peer recommendations?
What does this mean to a business? Your friends and customers are online and engaging. If the best marketing is word-of-mouth, then online social networks are word-of-mouth on steroids.
Here are some simple ways to get started.
1. Start a blog – Blogs are simple to create these days. Blogger, Typepad and Wordpress are popular free sites to start with. Start with tips and how-to's. Avoid directly selling. If you have good content, readers will comment and engage you.
2. Sign up on Linkedin – Invite your trusted relationships, both past and present. Give recommendations to others, and often your customers and colleagues will reciprocate. This is the online office place. Keep it professional.
3. Create a Facebook Business Page – It is always a good idea to be social here. If Linkedin is the office, then Facebook is more of the backyard BBQ. Mention ties to the community, post relevant articles to your industry, clients and engage your fans. More than any other social network, direct selling is really frown upon. Think of the guy who comes to a BBQ passing out their business card as they introduce themselves.
If all else fails, remember! it's about building relationships. If you wouldn't say it offline, you may reconsider about saying it online. How would you conduct yourself at the office, BBQ or convention?

CCC seeks donations for food pantry
Citizen Staff Reports 11/12/2014
Commonwealth Catholic Charities is in desperate need of food donations for its community food pantry that serves the region's low-income families, according to officials with the Henrico-based nonprofit.
After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.

US trade commission delays decision on HTC

The US International Trade Commission seems to be having a tough time making up its mind that HTC has violated Apple patents, postponing the day when they will have to come up with a reason to hand Apple the win, postponing a decision due today until 14 December.
Are you insinuating something?
Surely you cannot be saying that the US "International" Trade Commission has already made up its mind to pretend that Apples intellectual property is being violated and give this importer of Chinese made goods sole access to the US consumer.
... and give Apple some more competition-free time. Pure co-incidence, I'm sure.

Notre Dame and Navy to Open 2012 College Football Season in Dublin
One of the longest-running rivalries in college football will take on a new twist this year, as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Navy Midshipmen will square off on the gridiron in the Emerald Isle Classic in Dublin, Ireland on Saturday, September 1st.
It's not the first time Notre Dame and Navy have played in Ireland, the last being a 54-27 Notre Dame win in 1996. Navy has gained some traction as a nationally-reputable program in recent years, and has won three of the last five meetings between the schools dating back to 2007.
The game will be televised by CBS Sports at 9 a.m. eastern time on September 1st, which equates to a 2 p.m. local time kickoff at Dublin's Aviva Stadium.
According to reports, the stadium of 45,000 has already sold out, and the crowd promises to be as raucous as it was in 1996 when the teams last played.
Notre Dame will be led on the offensive side of the ball in 2012 by one of four potential quarterbacking candidates.
Tommy Rees, Andrew Hendrix, Everett Golson and Gunner Kiel will all compete for the signal calling spot this fall and whomever emerges will have the Eyes of the Irish firmly on their backs in South Bend this fall. With the loss of star defensive end Aaron Lynch to transfer, Notre Dame will be looking for a leader on defense as well in the early-going. In short, there is plenty of uncertainty in South Bend, and the season opener against Navy will give us all an idea of what direction Brian Kelly plans to go in.
Navy, on the other hand, has fewer questions to answer, but will still be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 5-7 campaign in 2011.
Junior quarterback Trey Miller promises to take over at quarterback and will be tasked with bringing Ken Niumatalolo's high-octane offense back to its former self. On the defensive side of the ball, the Midshipmen will be looking to make up for some key losses both on the line and in the backfield going into 2012, and will need several underclassmen to step up into roles which will require more playing time.
It'll be an early start, but a welcome one, to the 2012 college football season when these two traditional powers take to the gridiron in Ireland.

Oh, a live-action series version, eh?
Yeah, that's appropriate, both as being an adaptation of Crime and Punishment and a work in its own right as A Falsified Romance. And speaking of the manga, I ought to pick that up again.... aside from the uncreative Iraq war political commentary that the author decided to insert into this story's Raskolnikov whole deal about the ends-justifying-the-means, I remember it being pretty good, being a big Dostoevsky fan.

Rowing New Zealand will send a skeleton crew to Sydney for the opening World Cup regatta of the year in March.
That's bound to upset the hosts, who are already struggling with the profile of the event. Most of the sport's superpower nations are set to skip the regatta, while the likes of New Zealand stars Mahe Drysdale, Hamish Bond and Eric Murray also won't attend.
However, Rowing NZ say budget restrictions and the timing of the event will limit their participation, and their complement of athletes is still likely to be greater than most other leading nations'.
In a switch from the usual schedule of hosting the three annual World Cup regattas in Europe, the sport's world governing body, Fisa, granted Sydney hosting rights for the first World Cup event of the year for 2013 and 2014.
Rowing NZ sent 41 athletes to Sydney last season and won four golds, a silver and two bronzes, finishing third on the international points tally behind the hosts and Great Britain.
But their budget requirements differed from this year as the New Zealand team who attended the latter two 2013 World Cup regattas in Europe, while staying and training in between events, returned home before the world championships in South Korea.
The remaining World Cup events this year are in Aiguebelette, France, and Lucerne, and the world championships are in Amsterdam, so the Kiwi team will stay in Europe from early June until the end of August.
"With budgeting we've got some restraints there, because we usually don't go to the first World Cup anyway," Rowing NZ high-performance manager Alan Cotter said.
"This year we're away from New Zealand for 80 days, with the crews going to the second and third World Cups then on to the world champs.
"So it'll be a small team of around 14-17 athletes, around there - we're just working through that with Fisa now on what we are sending, but it won't be a full team."
Cotter said the plan for 2014 was "our standard formula and strategy" that Rowing NZ employed for its highly successful 2012 London Olympics campaign.
Rowing NZ will receive $4.8 million in 2014 from High Performance Sport NZ as part of the $19m budgeted for the 2013-2016 Olympic cycle.
"We've planned right out to Rio with HPSNZ what we're doing," Cotter said.
The March 28-30 regatta was not ideal timing to have the best athletes at racing peak, he said.
The New Zealand elite squad will begin their racing season tomorrow with the Cambridge Town Cup, and will also contest the North Island championships at the start of February, the national championships in mid-February and the national team trials in the first week of March.
"It's not quite the right timing, the Sydney World Cup for us, but seeing it's Down Under we'll certainly support it in that way with that number of athletes going.
"Great Britain are not supporting it - they're not sending any crews down and they're the leading nation.
"And again, it's in their winter-time, they have camps during their winter in different parts of the world and Sydney's not on their radar."

Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth Tie the Knot
The Oscar winner wed Toth at a small ceremony at her ranch in Ojai, Calif., Usmagazine.com confirms. Leading up to the ceremony, elegant white tents were seen being erected on Witherspoon's lush, green Ojai property, which she bought in 2008 and dubbed Libby Ranch.
Among the 120 guests comprised of family and friends were Tobey Maguire, Renee Zellweger and Alyssa Milano.
Witherspoon wore a gown designed by Monique Lhuillier and both her daughter and son with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe -- Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7 -- were part of the nuptials.
After a breakup with longtime boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal, Witherspoon began dating her groom in January 2010. Toth -- a Pennsylvania native who's employed at one of Hollywood's top talent agencies, but has reportedly never represented Witherspoon -- popped the question in December with a 4-carat, $250,0000 engagement ring.
This is Toth's first marriage.The bride's first marriage, to Phillippe, lasted seven years, ending in 2006.

Why is it our business what the ring costs? Who gives out that info? I'd consider that a private question. Anyway, he looks like a great guy -- genuine smile. If I find out otherwise, I'm gonna be disappointed. Good luck to them and wishes for a happy marriage.

very good actress, always has been. sure would be nice if maybe just one celebrity could stay married these days.
- Sunday 27 March
There are a lot of long term marriages in "Hollywood". AOL had alist a few weeks ago. Also long term relationships that count as marriage, such as Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel. There is also a lot of divorce in the rest of the population, not just in the entertainment/sports business.

When realtiy sinks in and she realizes shes now a D list, she will dump him and beard for the A listers again.
- Sunday 27 MarchBy nestmission
Reese is not like that, so I don't know why you would say she would dump him. The only reason she dumped Ryan in the first place is he couldn't keep his pants zipped.....do ya blame her???
- Sunday 27 MarchBy sarahb
Do What????
- Sunday 27 MarchBy joan
Hallow I think it should be Shallow...
I think you are so wrong. She was married to somewhat of an A lister who done her wrong. Reese is a bigger star than he was and I think she finally found someone who can stand that fact that she is a big star. Wish them the best!!!
- Monday 28 MarchBy Dayna
@ Hallow - What a ridiculous, moronic post. Do you have any idea who she is? A "D" lister? I have seen some of your stupid remarks before...always inflammatory, always ill informed, usually sexual in nature. You're an imbecile.

Italian Author Umberto Eco Defends Jerusalem Book Fair
Among the well-known authors at the Jerusalem International Book Fair will be Umberto Eco, the best-selling Italian author of
The Name of the Rose
Foucault's Pendulum
. Eco said that he would never agree top boycott the fair because it is being held in Israel. He said such a boycott would be a "form of racism" and "absolutely crazy."
The Jerusalem International Book Fair is continuing at the ICC Jerusalem-International Convention Center -- known in Hebrew as Binyanei Ha'uma through Friday. First held in 1963, fair is a biennial event which draws over 1,200 publishers from more that 40 countries who display more than 100,000 books in different languages.

In its recent third quarter reporting, the company posted a 7% decrease in user engagement and a slide in growth of monthly active users: growth increased 23%, but that was down from 24% posted in the second quarter of 2014 and down from 38% reported in the third quarter of 2013. Consequently, Twitter's stock price has fallen in recent weeks, and the S&P downgraded Twitter's debt to junk status, describing the company's risk as significant. So, how did it come to this? Where did Twitter go wrong, and, more importantly, what can it do to right the ship and recruit new users?

Pizza Night — Meatless Mondayby Maria Russo in Recipes, October 10th, 2011
The ultimate family-friendly meal, pizza is inexpensive, incredibly versatile and can feed a crowd. Though homemade pizza dough comes together in a flash, store-bought dough works well, too. Top your pie with sweet caramelized onions, creamy ricotta cheese, bright corn and fresh basil for a satisfying dinner that will be ready in just 15 short minutes.
For a simple side, serve Rachael's in-season Root Veggie Salad With Horseradish Dressing, featuring crunchy carrots and radishes.

Product description
"The greatest female artist of the 20th century" - Elton John This first-ever biography of Nina Simone caused quite a stir among reviewers. "A chastening read", said the Sunday Times; "Simone's story is as harrowing as it is remarkable", said the Yorkshire Post. No-one was quite prepared for the life story of the singer of such enduringly uplifting classics as "My Baby Just Cares for Me" turning out to be such a chilling litany of mental disorder, vile temper, terrible abuse at the hands of bad men, and a self-destructively hostile attitude all too often to the acolytes who came to see her perform. Brun-Lambert shows how Simone saw herself as a lifelong victim of racism, right from being turned down by the prestigious music school that would have enabled her to become a classical musician. Undiagnosed bipolar disorder, he argues, added to her torment. But it was her unforgettable voice, and, at best, her utterly magnetic performances, that kept people coming to a sold-out Ronnie Scott's every time she was in residency, and the way she sang her hardest songs like "Mississippi Goddam"with such fire and fury that they became anthems of political change, and means so many people can only be curious about the real life of the mecurial woman behind the piano. David Brun-Lambert is a highly regarded French writer and broadcaster.

Uniondale, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Matt Moulson scored two goals against his former team and Ilya Bryzgalov made 36 saves in the Minnesota Wild's 6-0 rout of the New York Islanders on Tuesday.
Moulson, who also had an assist, returned to Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum for the first time since the Islanders traded him to the Buffalo Sabres on Oct. 27, 2013 in a deal that brought Thomas Vanek to New York. Vanek (Montreal Canadiens) and Moulson were sent elsewhere at the trade deadline. Moulson scored 118 goals over the course of four-plus seasons with the Islanders.
"I was (in New York) for a long time and this team had a big place in my heart," Moulson said of returning to face his former squad. "The fans are great supporters. It was pretty emotional."
Justin Fontaine had a goal and an assist for the Wild, who snapped a two-game skid. Jared Spurgeon, Mikael Granlund and Clayton Stoner also lit the lamp.
Bryzgalov made his second start in a Minnesota uniform since he was acquired from the Edmonton Oilers. Bryzgalov's previous outing with the Wild was a 3-2 shootout loss on March 9 to St. Louis in which he made 20 saves.
Anders Nilsson gave up all six goals on 22 shots for the Islanders, who lost defenseman Brian Strait to a broken left hand in the second period.
"Nothing is going to come easy for us," Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. "We had some pretty good chances. It just seemed like when we gave them a chance, with the skill that they have, it was in the back of our net."
New York outshot Minnesota by a 16-6 margin in the first period, but it was the Wild who scored twice.
Minnesota drew first blood at the 12:23 mark when Moulson tapped one in from the top of the crease.
Spurgeon's one-timer from the top of the right circle at 15:57 made it a 2-0 game.
Granlund lit the lamp at 16:02 of the middle stanza. He one-timed Jason Pominville's pass from behind the net past Nilsson.
Stoner found the back of the net on a breakaway at 4:56 of the third. It was his first goal since April of 2012.
Fontaine and Moulson also scored in the final frame.
Bryzgalov stopped 12 shots in the third to record his second shutout of the season and the 32nd of his career.
Minnesota had lost four straight to the Islanders ... Wild forward Mikko Koivu
had three assists to surpass Marian Gaborik for the all-time points lead in
franchise history ... Islanders defenseman Kevin Czuczman made his NHL debut.
Coastal Carolina senior linebacker Quinn Backus was named the Big South Conference Defensive Player of the Year for the third straight season on Tuesday.
Kasey Kahne will continue to drive for Hendrick Motorsports through the 2018 Sprint Cup season, signing a three-year contract extension on Thursday.
The Buffalo Bills will be able to host Sunday's scheduled game against the Cleveland Browns even with Ralph Wilson Stadium sustaining some damage from the massive snowstorm that struck the area last week.
The Chicago White Sox officially announced Tuesday that the team has agreed to terms with veteran first baseman Adam LaRoche on a two-year, $25 million contract.
You probably know that the two NBA teams with 12 wins are the Memphis Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors.
At first glance, the San Jose Sharks appear to be a mildly disappointing team this season, but the club's record doesn't tell the whole story.

Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard loses hot dog eating contest to Kobayashi (VIDEO)
Oct 26, 2013, 11:00 AM EST
While we've gone over the many different ways that America's elite college basketball programs entice fans to Midnight Madness-style celebrations, one of the more original ideas in recent years was Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard — and a few Seton Hall students — taking on hot dog eating champion Kobayashi as they did last night.
Willard, who was introduced as "The lean and mean Kevin Willard", wasn't quite the competition that Kobayashi is used to facing when he collides with professional eaters like Joey Chestnut and Tim "Eater X" Janus, but Willard made up for it by sipping red wine and using Grey Poupon on his hot dog while he watched the Japanese eating machine devour hot dogs at an alarming rate. The facial expressions of Willard and everyone else watching Kobayashi eat during the 60-second contest is hilarious.
Kobayashi was also asked to take down a gallon of milk in under 60 seconds (what's next, the "Cinnamon Challenge", Seton Hall?) and opted instead to finish about half of the gallon before defiantly throwing the rest of the gallon away in a very college-party-like move on his part.
My three favorite random parts of this video:
- The people dressed up in hot dog costumes and blue face paint during the introductions.
- The Seton Hall Pirates mascot attempting to put the napkin in Willard's shirt near the 30-second mark.
- The ignored high-five at the five-minute mark when Kobayashi doesn't return the favor.

Kharkiv - Ukrainian opposition leaders Oleksandr Turchynov, Arseniy Yatseniuk, Mykola Tomenko and Viacheslav Kyrylenko were seen entering the premises of the hospital in Kharkiv where the convicted former prime minister is getting treatment, but did not answer when asked if they had been permitted to see her.
Meanwhile, about 100 supporters of Tymoshenko gathered at the hospital gate, many holding the flags of the Batkivshchyna party. Banners were put up on trees demanding freedom for the ex-prime minister.
Opposition leaders urged Tymoshenko to end the hunger strike she began shortly after the parliamentary elections of October 28 in protest against alleged vote rigging.

If you're one of the loyal few who stuck with Tone in lean as well as prosperous times, It's All Love. Otherwise, you're kindly invited to go f**k yourself. Making its world premiere right here on our front page, the latest single off the Masschusetts rhymesayer and Problemaddicts co-founder's forthcoming full-length is simultaneously a heartwarming ode to this real homies and a venomous kiss-off to the fakes. With Mr. Green's wistful, Chipmunk-sampled grooves rolling in the back, Tone shakes his head at those who've turned snake only to come slithering back, and schools hangers-on in the true meaning of family: "Don't call me your bro, I'm not your cousin / We aren't family just because we used to smoke dutches." On the positive tip, he expresses gratitude to the role models who helped him find his way in the game, spitting, "I probably woulda been lost without the proven, few true I grew with who put me onto the movement / They taught me not to talk shit, but to do it, cause words are only worth what we follow through with." DJ Theory sets the cherry on top of this wistful yet biting banger, contributing old-school cuts to the record's outro. AdmitOne as yet lacks a solid drop date, but those feeling It's All Love can stay tuned for release details, as well as the latest tunes.

What I have is a plot showing the area of connected components. What I want to do is to further work on the plot figure such as clean it up a bit or
imcomplement it etc. and then be able to apply the axes from the original plot to this image and be able to extract the
Let me explain the above issue with my code and some examples.
This is the plot I have, the y-axis represents the object areas. This is the important axis that I want to transfer to the new image.
Since I am interested in the axes only I copy that using
h = findobj(gcf,'type','axes');
So that I can work with the figure without the axes and borders interfering I save it without these attributes
set(gca, 'visible', 'off'); % Hide the axis and borders
hgexport(gcf, 'plot1.jpg', hgexport('factorystyle'), 'Format', 'jpeg');
This is what I get:
So far so good.
Now comes the processing or in other words changing the plot to my needs.
plot_img = rgb2gray(imread('plot1.jpg'));
img_bw_plot = im2bw(plot_img, graythresh(plot_img));
[rows cols] = size(plot_img);
new = zeros(size(plot_img));
for i = 1: rows
for j = 1: cols
if (img_bw_plot(i,j) == 0)
new(i, 1:10) = 255;
f = figure;
This produces a weird overlapped image where instead of copying only the axes, the entire image is copied on top of the
new. The
datacursormode also fails to work beyond the over lapping image.

We've talked about villains already, and today we're tackling another character type that appears in books: the sidekick. Sidekicks are the people readers will recognize as being a great source of support and encouragement for the hero/heroine. They might be gruff and tough, or they might be gentle and kind, or they might be sarcastic and prickly, or they might just make you laugh all the time. But sidekicks are essential for most fantastical journeys, as it's usually impossible to go it alone. In case you haven't guessed, Hannah & I are sharing our favorite sidekicks today, whether from fantasies or other genres!
Who is your favorite sidekick?
While Carswell Thorne (The Lunar Chronicles) and Nikolai Sturmhond (Grisha Trilogy) were two names that popped into mind immediately, there's one guy I have always admired: Kenji Kishimoto. He's tough as nails, smart and sarcastic, but underneath, he's got a surprising vulnerability and a loyal heart. (first appearance: Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi)
Who do you want as your sidekick?
There is only one right answer to this question, at least for me. I want Rowan Whitethorn to be on my team, all day, any day, every day. Rowan is a seriously tough guy, a seasoned warrior who bears his own scars. He seems like the type of guy who could push me to my limits, and past them, but only so that he could be pushing me forward. I'd have faith in him to take care of me for sure! (first appearance: Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas)
|Taylor Swift = Lilah Montgomery (to me)
Which sidekick do you think you could possibly be?
This might make y'all laugh, but it's true: I would probably be most like Lilah Montgomery. While she's got no special abilities or magical powers, she's a great friend. She's a powerhouse musician and performer, but it's her kindness, her empathy, her loyalty, her sense of humor that makes her such a wonderful person. (first appearance: Open Road Summer by Emery Lord)
Who is your favorite sidekick?
