The Common Core Classroom
Emily Stewart, M.Ed.
Guest blogger Emily Stewart, M.Ed., is a third grade teacher at Murch Elementary, a public school in Washington, DC. During the 2012-2013 school year, Emily will be sharing the real-world strategies, challenges, and successes of implementing ELA Common Core standards in her classroom.
Cel-e-brate test times -- C'mon!
Yes, the old Kool and the Gang song rings true — even for state testing! One of the things I feel very successful about as an upper grade teacher is my ability to kill test anxiety! Even though this doesn't have too much to do with Common Core tactics and struggles, I find that anything that lightens the testing mood always helps every classroom!
On our "Team" we always see testing as a celebration of Learning … because that's what it is! We have spent the last eight months working diligently to master everything in third grade and finally get to SHOW WHAT WE KNOW! I know state testing is very controversial in "teacherland." But that's neither here nor there, because the truth of the matter is that it's not going away, and our kiddos have to embrace it — so we should, too! Here are some ways we "test prep."
Wanted: Fred
A long time ago, there was a boy in elementary school, and he was a nerd. All of the kids made huge fun of him, so he wanted to get back at them. When he grew up, he decided to write questions for state tests, in order to trick all those elementary students! So, all of those tricky questions — they're Fred! Yes, this is the story I tell my kiddos every year, and here's what they say:
"But that's not fair, Miss Stewart! It wasn't me who made fun of him!"
"He's not very nice, I bet he doesn't have many friends."
"Eww … I'm going to trick him back!"
They crack me up! I always keep up the story. Making sure to let them know that I have seen Fred's office, and although I haven't seen him, there has been a sketch done (in case we ever come across him). I usually just print a "nerd" photo from Google and put it on a poster like the one below. This way, when we find tricky questions, the kids have someone to blame it on and they can spot the tricks more easily!
Breakfast & Snacks
We make a big deal about what we eat for breakfast. Some of the best brain foods are oatmeal, cottage cheese, peanut butter toast, eggs and tuna sandwiches — yes, you heard me right! We sit around and everyone tells what they had for breakfast, even if it's just a school breakfast. The conversation puts an emphasis on eating right and the kids take it very seriously. We also organize snacks for testing. I often use SignUpGenius to have parents sign up for healthy snacks. Some of the best options are string cheese, yogurts, fruit, peanut butter (unless allergies, obviously), granola bars, etc. When I taught in a Title I school, I would buy boxes of graham crackers and bananas, which were cheap and still filling. I also sneak Jolly Ranchers® and mints to the kids throughout the test to help keep them awake.
I create a playlist on my iPod that gets the day started off on the right foot. It has upbeat songs like:
Celebration (Kool and the Gang)
You Make My Dreams Come True (Hall and Oates)
Poprocks and Coke (Green Day)
What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger (Kelly Clarkson)
Sweet Pea (Amos Lee)
1234 (Feist)
I play the music until just before the test. It gets all of the kids pumped up and excited!
I print off little pictures that I give my kiddos each day to make them laugh and again, to lighten the mood so they know I'm not worried and believe in them wholeheartedly. Here are a couple of examples:
This was the first test strategy I ever tried. I have each of my kids decorate a poster with a Great Job saying and their name. We put these posters all around the classroom so everyone has a positive message just for them.
We also decorate huge pieces of butcher paper with positive messages and put them up over the classwork and posters on the wall that we are supposed to remove or take down for testing.
Bubble It Up!
Finally, we have root beer floats to celebrate all of our bubbling! It's exciting and fun, and always makes a great end to a great week!
There are all kinds of great testing strategies. I am ALWAYS looking for some to share, in case you have any in your bag of tricks. I created an Animoto video to share what all of these strategies look like when they come together in a giant testing celebration! Take a look at our Smashing the CAS! video.
Love this blog post! Keep blogging girl! You can guest blog for me anytime! :) Melissa
Thanks, Cheryl! It definitely re-energizes the kiddos, too! SO glad you enjoyed the strategies!
Thanks for sharing. Love your songs choice so I'll be using them. My 10th graders will love making and decorating Good Job posters. I'm re-energized. Thank you
Thanks, Stacy! LOVE the idea of different tables...the kiddos would LOVE it, too! Thanks SO much for sharing!
Here are two links to what we are doing in Room 202 to keep our spirits high during test time: http://new-in-room-202.blogspot.com/2013/03/whats-your-hook-for-making-s... and http://new-in-room-202.blogspot.com/2013/02/how-do-you-sustain-students-.... ~Stacy

New Mexico Geology Features Articles on Fossils, SE New Mexico
SOCORRO, N.M., Sept. 16, 2009 – The latest issue of the quarterly periodical New Mexico Geology features articles on invertebrate fossils from the Ghost Ranch area, and on oil and gas production from Mississippian-age reservoirs in southeast New Mexico.
The lead article is titled "Cenomanian invertebrate assemblage from the Dakota Sandstone near Ghost Ranch, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico." The authors are Spencer G. Lucas and Larry F. Rinehart of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science and Shari Kelley of the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. The authors describe how certain invertebrate bivalve and ammonite fossils may be used to identify the fossil-bearing strata as the Paguate Tongue of the Dakota Sandstone.
The second article is titled "Mississippian strata of southeastern New Mexico: distribution, structure, and hydrocarbon plays." Writer Ronald F. Broadhead of the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources describes the oil and gas geology of areas in Lea, Eddy and Chaves counties.
The issue also contains abstracts of recent master's theses and doctoral dissertations by students at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, New Mexico State University and the University of New Mexico.
New Mexico Geology is a quarterly publication that publishes peer-reviewed research papers pertaining to the geology of New Mexico and neighboring states, as well as shorter contributions, and other related materials. Interested parties may subscribe for one year for $15 or two years for $25 at

Over at Farmstros, Jonathan Fixler has been providing updates from Spring Training. Here's a pull from Fixler on Tyler Lumsden and Chris Salamida:
This afternoon, one of the pens I caught was for Tyler Lumsden. He appears to be at full strength (last years suffering from some arm soreness) and with his clean bill of health he is throwing with greater velocity, had great control over his off speed pitches, and seems to be right on track for the season. The first day of live batting practice I was extremely impressed with Chris Salamida. In the past year Sal has changed his arm slot to throw from underneath, and it is apparent he has grown more comfortable, having become more precise with the location of his fastball and increased the depth on his slider.
Good stuff - so head over to Farmstros and check out the previous post.

That would be nice if Lumsden can come around this season. I feel like we got hosed on that deal with the Royals of Lumsden for Jordan Parraz given Parraz's performance last year....hopefully it's just the early returns that are one-sided
- March 15, 2010 at 10:29 AM
I was pretty surprised to see Parraz put up big numbers this year, but a BA writer mentioned a while back that he isn't expected to contribute in the big leagues. No great loss, apparently, and the Astros have decent outfield prospect depth anyway.

Parraz needed a change of scenery. It was a good trade for him but I don't think it was Wades' best deal. Time will tell.

Don't Think Potential Employers Will Check Your Facebook Page – Guess Again!
ABC Radio News reports a new survey of more than 2-thousand hiring and HR professionals shows many are closely monitoring job applicants' social media postings.
Back in 2012, 34% of employers reported they found something on social media that caused them not to hire somebody. New figures show 51% of companies refused employment to someone because of something they found on the Internet.
According to Michael Erwin with CareerBuilder, job seekers need to be careful.
"This means that you now more than ever have to be very careful of what you're posting on social media and what your friends are posting."
Employers who took a candidate out of the running for a job after researching social media sites reported finding a variety of concerning content.
Top mentions ranged from evidence of inappropriate behavior to information that contradicted their listed qualifications:
· Candidate posted provocative/inappropriate photos/info – 50 percent
· There was info about candidate drinking or using drugs – 48 percent
· Candidate bad mouthed previous employer – 33 percent
· Candidate had poor communication skills – 30 percent
· Candidate made discriminatory comments related to race, gender, religion, etc. – 28 percent
· Candidate lied about qualifications – 24 percent

Piwik is a free, Open Source Online Analytics Tool created in 2007. Currently, Piwik is used by almost 500,000 websites and upon my review, I think this number will only increase. As a true amateur in the online media space, I came across Piwik while doing a class project for a website we developed. I was looking for a user friendly, free tool to gain an understanding of our website's traffic. Having never used an analytics tool before, I had very modest expectations. I was hoping to see how many people had visited our sight, when they visited, and where the visited from. Piwik far exceeded my expectations.
After a seamless and quick download, I was able to do see much more than I expected. Not only could I track the number of visitors and their geographical location, but I could see which Search Engines were used, how long they spent on the site, and if they visited again. This was insight I hadn't expected, but was beneficial in terms of what specific future content we should post in order to reach our target audience. Even though I am not very technical, the Piwik's layout is very intuitive and ridiculously easy to navigate. I'm looking forward to digging deeper into the tool and increasing our viewership!

Tica, Farina-Henry Score 10 Minutes Apart To Spark Comeback Win
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Milan Tica's goal midway through the second half of Tuesday night's game with Boston College tied the score at 1-1 and snapped a 256-minute scoreless drought for the Yale men's soccer team. The Bulldogs didn't have to wait nearly as long for another goal. Aden Farina-Henry scored 10 minutes later as Yale knocked off the Eagles 2-1 at Newton Campus Field.
"We had two very well-taken goals," said Yale head coach Brian Tompkins, who saw his team snap a three-game losing streak.
The Bulldogs (3-4-2) were coming off a heartbreaking overtime loss to Harvard on Saturday, and Tompkins was worried his team might suffer a letdown.
"That certainly wasn't the case," he said. "I thought we played with a lot of conviction, especially after falling behind."
Mor Avi Hanan's goal at 21:40 gave the Eagles (5-6) a 1-0 lead, and it looked like that goal might hold up.
Tica, though, used his 6-4 frame to get Yale on the board when he headed in a Jon Carlos corner kick at 70:04. It was Tica's first career goal.
Farina-Henry then snapped the tie. He one-timed an Andy Shorten cross past BC goalkeeper Justin Luthy at 80:57. Charlie Neil also assisted on the goal.
"BC is a very good team and this is not an easy place to play," Tompkins said. "It's a great accomplishment for our guys."
Travis Chulick continued his strong play in goal, finishing with five saves. BC outshot the Bulldogs 19-14 and had a 6-5 edge in corner kicks.
Yale returns to Ivy League play on Saturday, hosting Dartmouth. Kickoff at Reese Stadium is slated for 4:30 p.m.

Aug. 5, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The year was 1936 and Stanley Johnson was an MIT senior on a mission. Competing for an Olympic berth to Berlin against the likes of Jesse Owens (Ohio State), Kermit King (Pittsburg State) and Al Olson (USC), he was the only non-scholarship athlete vying for this honor and privilege.
Although Johnson fell a bit short in the Olympic Trials, his record long jump of 24-2 at MIT still stands. In hot pursuit is Stephen Morton '10, who finished eighth at the 2008 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Division III Championships with a long jump of 22-3. His personal best at MIT is 23-8, just six inches short of Stan's record.
"The story is a great one for MIT and for collegiate sports in general," says Professor Donald Morrison '61, a member of the top-six long jump club at MIT. "Stanley has done something quite special and we want to celebrate his accomplishment as well as give Stephen Morton the incentive to leap to greater distances before he graduates in 2010."
Stanley was born in Arlington, Mass., and attended the Institute on a bifurcated scholarship funded in part by MIT. Stan's father, an athletic trainer at MIT, only had to pay half tuition for Stan. The remainder was funded by the Rotary Club of Newton Centre (Mass.).
Stan fondly recalls his coaches, the legendary Oscar Hedlund and assistant coach, Bob Bowie. "They told me, and my dad agreed, to always stay in good physical condition." And this he has. As of this writing, he weighs about the same as he did in 1936 when he made that record-setting leap. "Oh, at almost 94, I have some back pain and my knees are not too good, but I really have little to complain about at my age."
Son Steven agrees. His father still lives on his own in Arden, N.C., where Steve visits every six weeks or so. "Dad is great. He loves to talk about some of his competitions and each time I come home, I learn a bit more. His career with US Steel started with an interview where the hiring manager was as interested in his competitive feats as he was in his MIT degree in Metallurgy. Dad stayed with US Steel for nearly 50 years, and always credited his first job to the dedication and ability he had as an athlete."
Stan has some very good company in the top six long jumpers from MIT, most notably current MIT junior Stephen Morton. A mechanical engineering major from Lexington, Ken., Morton is the two-time reigning NEWMAC Athlete of the Year in men's track and field.
"Breaking Stanley Johnson's long jump records would be an honor," remarked Morton. "The fact that they have stood for over 70 years shows how much of an achievement those marks are. I thank him and his family as well as our alumni for their continued support of my career."
In third place on MIT's all-time long jump chart is Professor of Engineering at Georgia Tech, William Singhose '90, who was unarguably the best decathlete that MIT has ever had. A transfer student from the University of Oregon, Singhose broke many records at MIT and was the 1990 CoSIDA/ESPN the Magzine Academic All-America of the Year recipient, but he could never best Johnson's long jump. "I had a chance to break Stanley's record one day out at the Northeastern University track," said Singhose. "There was a massive Nor'easter tailwind blowing that pushed me down the runway faster than I had a right to go. But, I fouled the jump by a couple of inches, so the record lived on, and on."
Following in fourth place is Ravi Sastry '99, a PhD candidate and mentee of Professor Morrison's at the Anderson School of Business at UCLA. Sastry was not only a superb long jumper, but ran the high hurdles, high jumped, and performed in the pentathlon.
In fifth is Kevin Scannell '92. "My fondest MIT memories are of track, of course - I don't remember much about my math classes even though that's what I do every day now," commented Scannell, who currently holds a position as the Director of the Computer Science department at St. Louis University. "Being on the track team allowed me to train and compete with people I had, and still have, a lot of respect for."
"The one specific thing I remember most clearly is the noise and intensity on the indoor track after we went up 16-2 on Northeastern after two events in 1990," continued Scannell. "I jumped a personal record of 23-0 and then Bill (Singhose) came back on the next jump with a PR of 23-1.25. I think JP (John Paul Clarke) had a big throw in the weight too. Of course that's a bittersweet memory since we went on to lose the meet, but everyone came to compete that day."
And recently "jumped out" of fifth is Professor Morrison, who holds the sixth spot in the long jump record books. "When Stephen jumped 23-8, I was so pleased for him...and sorry that I'd lost the fifth spot! But records are made to be broken and it's great to see MIT Track and Field doing such great things. Coach Halston Taylor makes a difference not only in the record books, but in developing the skills that carry our MIT scholar-athletes to the heights of their chosen careers. He is the most recent in a stellar stream of Track coaches at Tech that include my academic/athletic mentor, Art Farnham, and New England Pole Vault Champion, Gordon Kelly."
Of all the memories that Johnson holds dear, none are more vivid than his walks across the Harvard Bridge from the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house. "My sister Astra married the president of the LCA fraternity, so I guess you could say I was a 'brother' to both of them."
Another memory that surfaces is the old wooden track that was located outdoors and had to be shoveled free of snow for winter track meets. "We didn't have a crew that prepped the track. We did it! Then we ran on it...and won on it."
Stanley Johnson is 93 this year and lives contentedly in Ashville, North Carolina. He continues to serve as the greatest long jumper in MIT lore, and recently reminisced about breaking the great Henry Steinbrenner's hurdle record in 1932 as a freshman. "I even met Henry once, as a young man. This is a memorable moment for me, even now."

Re: The ask stigsy a question game
I am voting for leave.. We pay 350,000,000 a week to the E U. That money could provide aid to wounded veterans in this country and in 10 years pay of the national debt. People say Job's will be at risk if we leave but the economy is already fragile this will cut of dead weight and allow jobs to be filled my British labour and force the company owners to pay us Brits a fair wage not subsidise work to workers outside our borders who will work for peanuts

The only repository (PACKMAN) that offers XFCE for openSUSE is still using the 4.2 release. Is there a way to upgrade 4.2 to 4.39 on openSUSE 10.2?
openSUSE 10.2
I don't know Suse, but if they don't have a testing/unstable repository you can download the source and build it yourself.
Simon. (^_^)
TIP: Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
I found this post in another forum. I was able to install version 4.39 from this repository and after adding the development files to my installation, I was able to install binary plugins from the xfce goodies website.

Participating eating establishments will be offering special deals and prix fixe menus as part of the event, which is sponsored in part by the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, the Oakland Restaurant Association, and Visit Oakland (the Oakland Convention & Visitors Bureau).
Close to 50 restaurants are listed on the Visit Oakland website (www.visitoakland.org/restaurantweek). Looking at the offerings, I couldn't help but notice that many of them are housed in landmark buildings.
So, just for fun, I've listed my personal favorite eight restaurant buildings to spark interest and excitement in the upcoming celebration.
No. 8: The Fat Lady, 201 Washington St., (www.thefatladyrestaurant.com). Popular since 1970, The Fat Lady is located in a building built circa the 1880s in the West Waterfront Historic District. It is known for its rich Victorian-style decor — Tiffany-style lamps, beveled glass signs and ornately carved wooden bar, all brought here on a journey "'round the horn." An unsubstantiated legend has it that a young Jack London may have visited there when a "ladies of the night" rooming house previously occupied the site.
No. 7: Disco Volante, 347 14th St., (www.discovolanteoakland.com). This restaurant, featuring drinks and music, is located in a pale green art deco-style single-story commercial building designed by prominent local architect C.W. McCall. Before it was a restaurant, the space was home for many decades to the Roselyn Dress and Lingerie Shop, where dainty unmentionables could be purchased.
No. 6: Flora, 1900 Telegraph Ave., (www.floraoakland.com). Flora is also housed in an art deco landmark, with cobalt blue-and-silver zigzag deco patterns on the facade that really make the building across from the Fox Theater stand out. The original business owner was a florist.
No. 5: Hopscotch, 1915 San Pablo Ave., (www.hopscotchoakland.com). This new restaurant serves seasonally inspired cocktails and American food with Japanese influences. The landmark building is an restored Italianate commercial-style structure from the 1870s, with patterned polychromed brick and cast-stone surfaces.
No. 4: Lake Chalet Restaurant, 1520 Lakeside Drive, (www.thelakechalet.com). Featuring views of Lake Merritt, the restaurant is housed in a former boat storage facility and water pump house, originally constructed in 1912 and designed by the architect John Galen Howard.
No. 3: Spice Monkey, 1628 Webster St. (www.spicemonkeycafe.com). The location for this restaurant is the landmark Howden & Sons Tile Showroom Building that features a fanciful patterned facade of tiles. There is no other building quite like it, in my opinion.
My No. 2 and No. 1 are restaurants in historic hotels. The Terrace Room, 1800 Madison St., (www.theterraceroom.com) is in the Lake Merritt Hotel, where diners can enjoy lakeside views, and The Paragon Restaurant, 41 Tunnel Road, (www.paragonrestaurant.com) is in the landmark Claremont Hotel and Spa in the Oakland/Berkeley hills.

to be fair i will answer your question.i have been on this site since the beginning.i choose to not say who i am.i have a certified Jm 69 z.i purchased it 4-5 years ago and it came with jm certs.so this topic is important to me.but lets not talk about whos posting ok?lets talk about the subject on hand.thank you.
"If done by an expert - the appraiser could never tell - and the auction house would never know.The only one who would know for sure is the person doing the "change" work, or the person ordering it done."
.......... There are no standards for certifying Camaros so never assume anything. I'm sure Jerry has certified lots of Z28's even though their original drivetrain may be long gone. .........
I have heard that it is acceptible to have a corvette with a stamped engine pad, which seems different that the camaro world if correct. Rich

California Department of Transportation
Date: June 23, 2011
District: 1
Contact: Phil Frisbie
Phone: 707-441-4678
$825 Million allocated to create jobs and improve transportation
EUREKA – The California Transportation Commission (CTC) today allocated $825 million in new funding to 92 highway, transit, and rail projects that will strengthen California's economy and upgrade the state's vast transportation system. The allocations included nearly $9 million from Proposition 1B, a 2006 voter-approved transportation bond. To date, the state has allocated nearly $8 billion in Proposition 1B funds.
"From one end of the state to the other, transportation projects are providing jobs and improving mobility for people and businesses in California," said Caltrans Acting Director Malcolm Dougherty.
Two notable design-build projects in Los Angeles County received $526 million in allocations: the Gerald Desmond Bridge ($470 million) and the Interstate 10/Interstate 605 Direct Connector ($56 million). Design-build streamlines a project by overlapping design and construction to speed up construction and potentially reduce costs. Design-build is currently being used in 32 other states. Caltrans obtained design-build authority in February 2009 with the passage of Senate Bill 4 (second extraordinary session). The legislation established a demonstration program, which allows 10 design-build projects for Caltrans and five for local transportation agencies, subject to authorization by the CTC.
Other highlights of the allocations include:
Lake County – $6.1 million for a project to repave about 3 miles of Routes 29 and 53 in Lower Lake.
Mendocino County – $9 million for a project that will replace the Greenwood Creek Bridge on Route 1 near Elk with a wider bridge that will include a protected pedestrian walkway.
Mendocino County – $9.9 million for a project to repave about 20 miles of Route 128 from near Boonville to the Sonoma County Line.

Okay, okay, I lost track of things again...but look! Here's a little doodle I made especially for you, blog-land!
I've been in the travel state of mind lately after buying plane tickets home for thanksgiving and thinking about my trip to London with my aunt, uncle, and cousins in late October. Outside the US, I've only been to Canada, so this is a big deal for me! Hooray!
Anyway, here's a lil' something:
More very soon, I promise!

The mobile technology scene was rocked today by the announcement that NTT Docomo and Sony Corporation will be merging into the new company OyaG.
Both companies have suffered greatly in recent years due to outdated business practices and failure to motivate Japanese consumers, and high level talks between these two like minded corporations have resulted in what has been referred to as a "Donner Party" solution.
According to OyaG spokesman Uso Bakari, the merger will take a year to finalize and will be complete sometime in early April of 2011. "We are pleased to announce that there are no plans for layoffs as a result of the merger" reported at a press conference early today. "In fact, we will be needing to hire an additional 2,000 staff to fill a new department tasked with managing all the duplicate departments from both companies." In addition, OyaG has released plans for their new 5 trillion yen headquarters building that will start construction in the center of Tokyo Bay on December 21 of this year.
According to Docomo senior vice president Oyaji Kusai, this merger should be a big boost to company morale. "I am very frustrated with all this talk of new technology. Every day I get hundreds of emails, and it takes hours for my secretary to print them all out and fax them to my office upstairs." He laments "How am I supposed to get any meetings done? And this stupid cell phone rings all the time! How do you make it stop ringing? It's so annoying!". There is renewed hope that the joining of like-minded executives from both companies will lead to new plans on how to prevent the spread of new ideas infecting the company.
The challenges of keeping up with consumer demand have certainly taken their toll on both companies in recent years. "We are tired of customers telling us what they like." says a Sony marketing executive who preferred to remain unnamed for this article. "We gave the world the Walkman and Spider Man movies. What more can they expect from us? People should just buy our products because of loyalty".
This merger will create one of the largest mobile communications companies in the world and is reminiscent of the bank merger that created Mizuho Bank in Japan in 2002. At the time the largest financial merger in the history, Mizuho was created with a market cap of 1.3 trillion dollars (currently worth 29 billion). OyaG will have a market cap of over 100 billion dollars. "I am confident" says Bakari, "we will be able to keep our share value from losing more than 95% in our first three years of operation."

Police say a suspect accused of robbing a 94-year-old Albuquerque, New Mexico, man was caught after he shaved and showered in the victim's home – and left behind his fingerprints.
The Albuquerque Journal reports authorities said 43-year-old Rudy Chavez was arrested Saturday.
According to a criminal complaint, Chavez held Glen Miller at gunpoint while Chavez showered, shaved, dressed in Miller's clothes, and then left with Miller's car, television and cash. The complaint says Chavez told Miller he was committing the robbery because he had just been released from prison and couldn't find work.
Albuquerque Police Lt. Paul Szych said investigators identified Chavez through fingerprints on the shaver and a bottle of mouthwash.
Chavez faces a number of charges including kidnapping. It was not known if he had an attorney.
