text: "Stop asking me if we're almost there! We're nomads, for crying out loud!" 1 NYS Common Core Learning Standards Understanding the Change Being the Change How to Change Nassau BOCES Victor Jaccarino Trish Iannacone September 2011 2 Overarching goals for today… To become familiar with New York State P-12 Common Core Learning Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy and Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects (CCLS) To understand how implementing the CCLS in the classroom will impact teaching, learning, curriculum and materials http://engageny.org/ Caution! Before continuing… • The Common Core Learning standards are not just a new set of performance indicators…. • They are a whole new way of teaching and learning…. Common Core in ELA/ Literacy: Getting Started Why Standards? Why Common Core Standards? Standards provide a shared vision of what students should know and be able to do. Standards provide a shared vision for teachers and administrators Common Core State Standards establish consistency across the states 5 Areas of focus Reading Writing Speaking and Listening Language Media and Technology - Research & Media skills built into the Standards as a whole 6 What is included in the Common Core Standards document? P-12 Anchor Standards for English Language Arts Reading Literature, Informational Texts Writing Listening and Speaking Language Progressive Skills Charts for Language Arts Conventions P-12 Grade Level Standards (We used to call these performance indicators.) 7 What is included in the Common Core Standards document? Foundational Skills in reading (P-5) Illustrative texts Reading Standards in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Writing Standards in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects 8 What does the Research Document Contain? (Appendix A) Research on text complexity including exemplar texts (stories and literature, poetry, and informational texts) that illustrate appropriate level of complexity by grade Research on reading foundational skills Research on forms of writing: Argument Informational Narrative 9 Text complexity is defined by: Qualitative measures – levels of meaning, structure, language conventionality and clarity, and knowledge demands Quantitative measures – readability and other scores of text complexity Reader and Task – background knowledge of reader, motivation, interests, and complexity generated by tasks assigned What Does the Text Exemplar Document Contain? (Appendix B) Grade level text exemplars for English Language Arts Grade level sample performance tasks for English Language Arts Grade level text exemplars for Social Studies/History, Science, Math and Technical Subjects Grade level sample performance tasks for Social Studies/History, Science, Math and Technical Subjects 11 What Does The Document of Writing Exemplars Contain? (Appendix C) Grade level samples of student writing of Narrative Argument Informative/Explanatory 12 The Common Core Includes: Cognitive Engagement, Constructivist Learning & 21st Century Skills Creativity and innovation Critical thinking and problem solving Communication and collaboration Information and media literacy 13 Six Shifts in ELA Literacy Shift in Standards…. 1. Balancing Informational and Literary Text 2. Building Knowledge in the Disciplines 3. Staircase of Complexity 4. Text-based Answers 5. Writing from Sources 6. Academic Vocabulary Shift in Assessments… 1&2 Non-fiction Texts Authentic Texts 3 Higher Level of Text Complexity Paired Passages 4&5 Focus on command of evidence from text: rubrics and prompts 6 Academic Vocabulary Balancing information and Literacy Texts: PK-5 Students read a true balance of informational and literary texts. Elementary school classrooms are, therefore, places where students access the world – science, social studies, the arts and literature – through text. At least 50% of what students read is informational. Building Knowledge in the Disciplines: 6-12 Content area teachers outside of the ELA classroom emphasize literacy experiences in their planning and instruction. Students learn through domain-specific texts in science and social studies classrooms – rather than referring to the text, they are expected to learn from what they read. Reading Types Across the Grade Levels Grades Literature Informational K-2 50% 50% 3-5 50% 50% 6-12 30% -fiction -poetry -drama -Shakespeare 70% "substantially more literary non-fiction" -essays -speeches -opinion pieces -biographies -journalism -historical -scientific -contemporary events -nature -the arts -Founding Documents 17 Staircase of Complexity In order to prepare students for the complexity of college and career ready texts, each grade level requires a "step" of growth on the "staircase." Students read the central, grade appropriate text around which instruction is centered. Teachers are patient, create more time and space in the curriculum for this close and careful reading, and provide appropriate and necessary scaffolding and supports so that it is possible for students reading below grade level. Increasing Reading Complexity Grade Band Old Lexile Level K-1 2-3 4-5 N/A 450-725 645-845 6-8 9-10 860-1010 960-1115 11-CCR 1070-1220 Lexile Aligned to the CCLS Expectations N/A 450-790 770-980 955-1155 1080-1305 1215-1355 19 Text-Based Answers Students have rich and rigorous conversations which are dependent on a common text. Teachers insist that classroom experiences stay deeply connected to the text on the page and that students develop habits for making evidentiary arguments both in conversation, as well as in writing to assess comprehension of a text. Writing From Sources Writing needs to emphasize use of evidence to inform or make an argument rather than the personal narrative and other forms of decontextualized prompts. While the narrative still has an important role, students develop skills through written arguments that respond to the ideas, events, facts, and arguments presented in the texts they read. The writing focus is shifting at each level… Level Argument Explain/Inform Narrative Elementary 30% 35% 35% Middle School 35% 35% 30% High School 40% 40% 20% These forms are not independent. Informing and arguing rely on using information or evidence drawn from texts. 22 Academic Vocabulary Handout Students constantly build the vocabulary they need to access grade level complex texts. By focusing strategically on comprehension of pivotal and commonly found words (such as "discourse," "generation," "theory," and theory "principled") and less on esoteric literary terms (such as "onomatopoeia" or "homonym"), teachers constantly build students' ability to access more complex texts across the content areas. Example of Grade-Level Progression in Reading Standard 3: Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text. Grade 3: Describe characters in a story (e.g., their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events. Grade 7: Analyze how particular elements of a story or drama interact (e.g., how setting shapes the characters or plot) Grades 11-12: Evaluate various explanations for characters' actions or for events and determine which explanation best accords with textual evidence, acknowledging where the text leaves matters uncertain. Text Dependent Questions What is (and isn't) the meaning of "popular sovereignty"? Why does Monk claim that this is the form of government in America? Is Lucy Stone confused when she asks "Which 'We the People'?" Why does Monk say this question has "troubled the nation"? What does the phrase "founding fathers" mean? Why does Marshall think the founding fathers could not have imagined a female or black Supreme Court Justice? What Does a Grade Level Standard Look Like for Writing? Grade 4 Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences. Grade 7 Write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence. 28 Argument – persuasion Defend with evidence from text History/social studies – interpretation & judgments with evidence from multiple sources Science – claims and conclusions that answer questions or address problems K-5 – opinion leads to argument 29 What Does a Grade Level Standard Look Like for Language? Grade 4 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing. . . . . . . c. Use a comma before a coordinating conjunction in a compound sentence. Grade 7 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking. a. Explain the function of phrases and clauses in general and their function in specific sentences. . . . . 30 Overview of Writing Strand for Teachers Students compose arguments and opinions, informative, explanatory, and narrative texts Focus on reason and evidence to substantiate an argument or claim Students conduct research – short projects and sustained inquiry Students incorporate technology as they create, refine, and collaborate on writing (writing process) Students explore writing illustrating the criteria required to meet the standards (See standards' appendices for writing samples) 31 Text Dependent Multiple Choice Questions This story is mostly about: A. Little Red Riding Hood's journey through the woods. B. The pain of losing a grandmother. C. Everything is not always what it seems. D. A girl's fear of wolves. Text dependent ER questions After reading Little Red Riding Hood, present an argument, based on the text, explaining why everything is not as it seems. After reading Little Red Riding Hood, present an argument that expresses the author's purpose and use specific lines from the text to support your response. Text dependent questions… • In a multiple choice questions, the options and text difficulty define the rigor. • In open-ended questions, the rubric defines the rigor. Overview of Standards for History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects (AKA Everything Else) Reading Standards Knowledge of domain-specific vocabulary Analyze, evaluate, and differentiate primary and secondary sources Synthesize quantitative and technical information, including facts presented in maps, timelines, flowcharts, or diagrams Writing Standards Write arguments on discipline-specific content and informative/explanatory texts Use data, evidence and reason to support arguments and claims Use of domain-specific vocabulary What do grade level standards in literacy in social studies, science, and technical subjects look like? Social Studies Grade 9-10 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including vocabulary describing political, social, or economic aspects of history/social studies. Science Grade 9-10 Analyze the author's purpose in providing an explanation, describing a procedure, or discussing an experiment in a text, defining the question the author seeks to address. Technical Subjects Grade 9-10 Develop claim(s) and counterclaims fairly, supplying data and evidence for each while pointing out the strengths and limitations of both claim(s) and counterclaims in a discipline-appropriate form and in a manner that anticipates the audience's knowledge level and concerns. 37 Some Goals . . . Review rigor, relevance, coherence of our curricular units and interventions Develop instruction that is clear and focused Celebrate and share what we do well Revisit areas that need attention Put in place interim assessments that are standards based, and focus on literacy, not curriculum content Address knowledge and skills necessary for college and careers Integrate students' literacy development in all areas 38 What We Need to Do . . . Understand and unpack the anchor standards Understand and unpack the grade level standards Develop and align curriculum with the CCLS standards in all subjects Create units that include Text based questions that promote close reading Writing that is inquiry based, using evidence to support argument 39 What Do We Need To Do? By September 15, 2011, create awareness, foster fluency, and develop a common language supporting Common Core implementation. By October 1, 2011, collaboratively diagnose school capacity for implementing The Common Core and create action plan to ensure Phase I execution: 1 Common Core Aligned Unit in every classroom, each semester. By October 15, 2011, Introduce Common Core aligned curriculum model modules/units and unpack the qualities of a model unit. By October 31, 2011, build capacity and foster accountability so that every teacher delivers at least one Common Core aligned unit in every classroom each semester. Building as we go along… The Challenge: Linking the CCLS to Curriculum/Instruction in All Areas Curriculum & Instruction Need to focus on areas of inquiry - not specific standards in isolation Content area teachers and language arts/literacy teachers will need to plan and work together to help students meet the standards Teachers must place an emphasis on thinking with/about texts in all forms, including digital formats Develop Units that recognize that less is more 42 Instead of going a mile wide and an inch deep… Go an inch wide and a mile deep Data Driven Instruction Collect baseline data (student work from the classroom, more student work, standardized tests, anecdotal information) Analyze/Discuss data with students, parents and colleagues Determine what skills students need Determine an action plan to include instruction, lessons, units, essential questions, projects, etc. that address the skills necessary to improve student outcomes 44 Three Questions Regarding Data How has the student progressed? (valueadded growth) How is the student doing compared to the class? (Differentiated Instruction) How is the class doing with the curriculum? (Teacher Reflection) 45 The Bigger Picture Literacy tasks across the curriculum must address application of literacy standards in History/Social Studies, Science, Math, and Technical Subjects in all areas of study. First, a short video…. Planning Today: Choose one of the following Activities 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Choose a text from Appendix B, do a close reading and create text based questions Create an action plan for your department, or grade level group, or school to implement the ELA Common Core Create a plan for developing literacy based interim assessments Go to Appendix C, choose a grade level exemplar for writing an argument. Read the annotation of the piece and determine how you would create such an assignment in your classroom Work on what you need to do in your school to implement or create understanding around the ELA Common Core Learning Standards Contact Victor Jaccarino email@example.com Trish Iannacone firstname.lastname@example.com Listening and Reading Comprehension by Age 50

Savouring my Sunday
More things I'm grateful for...
1. New bed linen! Ours was literally threadbare. I'm washing the new sheets as I write and intend to spritz them with my mum's homemade lavender linen water before adorning the bed. There's something sacred in all that somehow.
2. Did you see that Jen Lee's beautiful film Indie Kindred is available to rent online? Take a look at the View Stories: you might see someone you know! PS Look for the one who pulls the myriad of ridiculous faces -__-
4. My sweet sister sent me a link to Seek Act Love, a beautiful site for creative mamas. I'm not a massive fan of "mommy blogs" as a rule, and don't to think of myself as writing one. Not that I have anything against them, they just don't resonate with me. But this one feels smart and compassionate, as well as useful. Props!
5. I learned last week that the challenge I submitted my manuscript for is still yet to be awarded. I believe the intention was to announce the winner (i.e. unsolicited manuscript for Young Adults to be published by a prestigious publisher) during the Melbourne Emerging Writers Festival but a major company restructure delayed the decision-making process. I hadn't heard anything so assumed it was "done and dusted" but while it is still open, there's hope, right?
6. A surprise birthday gift in the mail from my bff. So pretty! I love surprises, especially ones that arrive in the mail. (Ordering via Etsy never hurts, too!)
7. A lovely coffee date with a dear friend after our Wednesday morning bootcamp in the park. Our firstborns were born a week apart and so were our newborns (although she has one in-between as well, a little lad whose smile always melts my heart). I love friendships that are easy, that you can talk about anything, that you always come away feeling affirmed and this is definitely one of them. Keeper.
8. That said, I may have to take this gorgeous gal to task for introducing me to Boden's online offerings. O.M.G.
9. Our bambino is not yet in a fixed routine, although he does know the difference between night and day, and is generally happy to be schlepped to and fro on the school run. But daytime naps and nighttime waking are a still little hard to predict. That said, I feel like a little routine is emerging for me and my family: grocery shopping on Wednesday mornings after bootcamp; long hot soak in the tub on Wednesday nights; skyping with my therapist on Thursday nights; hanging out with my husband when he works from home on a Friday morning (he also does the Friday morning school run, yay!); the cleaning chappie coming on Friday afternoons; Friday night cocktails; my daughter's saturday arvo swimming classes. These little commitments feel like little pegs to hang on, reminding me that the days are long but the weeks fly by.
10. A fresh new altar! We cleared the mantlepiece in our room (pictured above) in anticipation of the cleaning chappie giving it a weekly dust. I love how uncluttered it is... and felt drawn to make it a space for daily affirmations. Each day I am shuffling a deck of either my Happy Mama, Sassy She or Love Your True Colours oracle cards. Sometimes I ask a question, others I just ponder how I am feeling. The answer is always potent and I place it on my mirror and carry it in my mind's eye for the rest of the day.
Tell me more things you are grateful for this week...

Lost and alone aboard the Cassiopeia, an ancient star ship, for nearly a hundred years, a man awakens from stasis and recounts his astounding journey through the stars, through adventure, love, and tragedy.
"Human curiosity is a curious thing. We shall fall victim to temptation every time, and be none the wiser for it. So it has always been, and so it will always be."
"Sir?" she asked? Adrenaline was pumping through her veins, blood pounding in her ears. What an incredible discovery! Everyone was buzzing with excitement after they'd found the ship. It was heavily damaged, left adrift for gods only know how long. It looked ancient. Of course, no one anticipated there would be anyone left. There were no life signs detected by any of their sensors. Even life support and other main functions had been inactive. It wasn't until they boarded her that their scanners picked up the faintest traces of energy output. A single stasis pod.
As her crew's highest ranking medical officer, she had been on the retrieval team. Her objective was to bring him aboard the Sagitta and monitor his vitals. If revival was an option, she was to oversee that as well.
And so it was, that she found herself hovering over the man's face. He was remarkably well preserved, and his vitals were stable as she continued the process to revive him. Even so, she only had a basic understanding of the technology; her own people were only on the brink of a breakthrough with cryogenic freezing. To think of everything they could learn just from this meager stasis pod.
She could hear his breathing now, the ragged gasps of the aged she used to care for before she was assigned to the Sagitta. How old must he be? she thought to herself.
"Sir?" she repeated. "Sir, can you hear me?"
"How is he doing, Dr. Landra?" Came a hard, low voice from behind her, breaking through her concentration. Though startled, she remained steady.
"Too soon to tell, Admiral Evett." Dr. Landra replied after a long moment. She was still hovering over him, lifting his eyelids to check for pupillary responses.
She straightened and turned to face the admiral. He was a tall man with broad shoulders. Clearly a military man. His hair was graying and his facial hair was fading to match. He had hard, blue eyes, but he was not a cold man. His face had the aging look of someone who has had to make hard decisions - decisions he's lost sleep over. She should know; she's prescribed him enough tranquilizers over the years.
"From what I understand, the pod has done a remarkable job preserving him. But I don't think it was meant for long-term stasis. Surviving the revival process after such a long time would be miraculous if nothing else. It'll certainly take it's toll on him."
"You know how I feel about miracles, Landra."
"I do, sir. Still, I've done nearly all I can. We're still running some tests, but it's out of my hands now. If he wants to wake up, he's got to fight for it."

The panel included the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions James Purnell, senior Conservative politician Lord Heseltine, the former leader of the Liberal Democrats Sir Menzies Campbell, well-known television personality Piers Morgan and novelist and journalist Rachel Johnson.
Career: James Purnell was appointed Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in January following the resignation of Peter Hain.
He was previously the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport in Gordon Brown's first cabinet and had worked as Pensions Minister in the Department for Work and Pensions - which he now heads - working on the development of a national pensions saving scheme.
As Culture Secretary he was heavily critical of the television industry after a string of fakery scandals last year. However he found himself embroiled in a fakery row of his own after it emerged his image had been electronically inserted into a group photograph of dignitaries celebrating a hospital project.
A former Islington councillor, he became one of Labour's youngest MPs at the 2001 general election when, at the age of 31, he became MP for Stalybridge and Hyde.
Seen as one of the fastest rising stars in the Labour firmament, he has been tipped as a future Labour Party leader.
Career: Michael Heseltine is one of the most senior Conservative politicians, whose political career has spanned four decades.
He became the Conservative MP for Tavistock in 1966 and served as a junior minister in Edward Heath's government, before being promoted to Secretary of State for the Environment and later Defence Secretary by Margaret Thatcher.
His challenge for the leadership of the party in 1990 triggered the resignation of Lady Thatcher, but he was beaten by John Major who made him Deputy Prime Minister in 1995.
Upon retiring from the Commons in 2001, he was made a life peer in the House of Lords.
After backing David Cameron's election for party leader, he has led the Conservatives' cities task force aimed at increasing Tory support in urban areas.
Writing at the weekend, Lord Heseltine said that David Cameron should "launch an attack on the manifest failure of Labour local authorities in the sink estates that represent a scandalous neglect by Labour of its heartland."
Career: Ming Campbell is the former leader of the Liberal Democrats. After a career as an Olympic athlete, he entered parliament in 1987.
In March 2006 he became party leader, succeeding Charles Kennedy. He has been an outspoken critic of the war in Iraq and has led calls for an inquiry into the conflict.
After months of speculation and the decision of Gordon Brown to not call a snap general election, he resigned the party leadership last October blaming an age obsessed media and the "cloying blanket of speculation" about his leadership.
He said at the time that he was "irritated and frustrated. Irritated because of the quite extraordinary concentration of trivia which seem to surround leadership."
Career: At 29, Piers Morgan was made editor of the News of the World newspaper.
He then embarked on a high-profile editorship of the Mirror during which the paper became a vociferous opponent of the Iraq war.
He was sacked from the job after publishing photos of the abuse of Iraqis by British soldiers which were shown to be fake.
He later said: "I didn't mind losing my job. Maybe Tony Blair or one of the cabinet will have the good grace, after 100,000 Iraqis died, to lose their job."
Since leaving the Mirror he has become a well-known television personality, appearing as a judge on both America's Got Talent and Britain's Got Talent.
It was his interview with Nick Clegg which prompted the Lib Dem leader to reveal that he had slept with "no more than 30" women.
Career: Rachel Johnson is a novelist and journalist and the sister of newly elected Mayor of London Boris Johnson.
She has written for among others, the Daily Telegraph, the Spectator, and the Evening Standard and currently has a column in the Sunday Times.
She is the author of two novels which document the trials of motherhood in London and Exmoor.
Although keen not to be seen as simply Boris' sister, she wrote at the weekend: "I know this sounds awfully Oprah but it really was quite moving at times to campaign for him... and to play my part in Ken's downfall."

NBA — 15 March 2013
This has to be the most talked about sprained ankle ever. We are two days removed from Kobe landing on Dahntay Jones' foot, causing him to sprain his ankle and ultimately being ruled out indefinitely, and everyone is still talking about this ankle. Because it's Kobe's ankle.
Jones has come under fire because most think he did it on purpose. I don't necessarily think so.
Today, he made an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show to defend himself:

The weather is warming up and spring is here!! What better way to spend some time this spring than sitting on the porch drinking your morning coffee overlooking the pond with the wildlife coming to the pond for a drink? Nestled on the backside of Okemo mountain this cozy cabin is the perfect place. The large yard is great for playing with the kids, playing some volleyball or other yard games. Go out for the day and explore the mountains with some great nearby hiking then come home to grill out and enjoy an evening with dinner on the deck before moving to the fire pit to making S'mores! The nearby Vermont Finger Lakes provide plenty of opportunity for water activities, boating, fishing and swimming. The town of Ludlow is just 6 miles down the road with great restaurants, bars and shopping. Great retreat for families and friends. Features high speed WiFi, cable television, and large kitchen. Loft has one queen bed, one full bed, and two twin beds. Living room also has a pull out sofa. Sleeps six - eight comfortably.
The location is great. It feels very remote when you're on the property but food and amenities are not far away.
Had a nice time fall leaf peeping and biking while staying here with my husband and dog. Cabin is a good size for a couple or a small family. We appreciated how clean everything was in the cabin when we arrived. Cabin was stocked with lots of amenities as described. We liked that the cabin was conveniently located on a main road to access Ludlow but set back so it felt private and isolated. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the ducks in the pond while our dog ran around the field near the house. Christopher was very responsive via email and made coordinating the trip very easy.
It had everything we needed. We even enjoyed a Bon fire at night.
The owner was easy to contact and helpful in answering all of my questions. The cabin is a perfect size; small enough to be cozy but big enough to have all the necessary amenities. It's location is also ideal; it is located off of a local highway and a short 'dirt' road leads to the cabin. It is, however, hard to see the entrance to the dirt road but the GPS will lead you right to it. This makes the cabin close enough to be easily accessible but far enough to still be quiet and private. The surrounding land has a pond/swamp (frogs can be heard at night), a large, well-kept grass field, and a fire pit complete with fire wood (perfect for making s'mores). The cabin has all the amenities listed and is neat, clean, and well-maintained. I stayed in the cabin with my girlfriend for a week and its small size made for a cozy, romantic getaway. I would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a private vacation with a significant other.
Very comfortable and cozy, owner was in good contact. Good sense of privacy since you're a bit off the main road. Yard was well maintained and a great place with our dogs. Yard games and for pot only made the stay that much more complete. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend and/or stay here again. Also close to town for convenience as necessary.
House was very clean. Smartly decorated. Conviently located. Noticed that there is a reflector at end of driveway which made locating easier. House is actually on the down slope after the two lane section. (Was dumping snow when we arrived so we went past it but really no problem) We enjoyed our stay. Wonderful for a romantic get away.

Imagine. You are kept alone in a narrow, windowless cell which you never leave, not even for a short walk in the prison yard. Every time you hear a footfall in the corridor, you think the guards are coming to take you for execution. Your relatives visit you occasionally and each time you say a tearful farewell. And this goes on for six years.
Such is the hellish existence of Nikolai "The Flame" Pozhedayev, on death row in the town of Yelets in central Russia. "Don't get the wrong idea," said Yuri Frolov, acting governor of Yelets prison. "This guy is no national hero. He is a real killer."
But even the prison authorities feel that the cruel limbo in which he is being kept is a violation of human rights.
Pozhedayev earned his nickname when he took the leading part in a brutal gang murder of three men travelling in a lorry. The killers robbed their victims before burning them in their vehicle. For this, in December 1989, Pozhedayev was sentenced to death. The other members of the gang each received the maximum jail term in Russia - 15 years.
The Russian justice system is much simpler than that in America, where death row inmates can spend years appealing to higher and higher courts. Here, the prisoner has one chance, a direct appeal to the President, and if that fails he can expect a bullet in the back of the head to follow fairly swiftly.
And so, after he was sentenced, Pozhedayev appealed to the then Soviet president, Mikhail Gorbachev, and received a refusal. Knowing the system, he understood that he had, at most, only a few weeks left to live and he composed his mind as best he could. Then the Soviet Union collapsed. He was told to appeal again to the new Kremlin leader, Boris Yeltsin. He has been waiting for a reply ever since.
What can you ask a man in this situation? "How do you feel?" As I was taken into his cell to meet him, I remembered that Pozhedayev had seen no woman except his mother for six years. Pale-faced and dressed in the distinctive navy and grey striped uniform of a smertnik [death-row prisoner], he stood to attention as I entered. The guards hovered in the doorway.
But there was no threat. He was infinitely more afraid of me than I was of him. Perhaps I had come to announce his death.
Timidly, I requested an interview. He asked for an hour to marshal his thoughts. I just had time to notice the tight mesh over the window, blocking out all natural light, the narrow bed and toilet hole in the corner before I was ushered out.
The guards organised a tour of the prison to pass the time until Pozhedayev was ready. They wanted to tell me that they were strict but humane. They welcomed the Interior Ministry's new battle against corruption.They complained that the state had not paid their wages for the past five months.
We tramped the corridors of the the fortress-like jail, which was built in 1830 and which remains standing only because of the huge iron girders which hold it up. My own ideas of Russian prisons come from Solzhenitsyn - icy cells, guard dogs, watch-towers. But Yelets Prison is unsettling in its attempts at cosiness.
The cells have black-and- white television sets and the prisoners are allowed posters on the walls. The library is perhaps a little overstocked with the works of Lenin, but soft pornography is also available. In the kitchen, young men peeled potatoes into bath tubs under the supervision of a motherly former factory-canteen manager, who said that meat was guaranteed daily. As is physical exercise.
The privileges of the ordinary prisoners are not for Pozhedayev. Thirty- one years old, he has been in and out of custody since he was 11. His father was also a convicted murderer. A local reporter had warned me that Pozhedayev had become like an animal. "He smelt me through the metal door of his cell. He said he recognised my aftershave. He will smell you too."
But in the interview Pozhedayev was all too human. He spoke softly, haltingly, obviously overwhelmed by the space of the conference room where he had been placed for our 10-minute talk. The time was short but he revealed something of his agony.
"I thought it would be quick but it has dragged on," he said. "Each time I hear a sound in the corridor, I think the moment has come. When you came, it was strange. I thought, 'maybe this is it'. My mother visits me once a month and every time we say goodbye."
Pozhedayev said he passed his time like a caged beast, "pacing to and fro". His cell light is always switched on but he has control over the radio switch and sometimes listens to pop music. He once gave up smoking for two weeks but then thought: "What's the point?"
Pozhedayev said he had heard that life sentences could soon be available in Russia. He would prefer life imprisonment to execution because while he has his life he has hope.
His other requests were modest. "Tell the civilised world I need medicines for my stomach ulcers," he said. "And say I want magazines - magazines with coloured pictures."
Outside the jail, I can't forget Pozhedayev. The thought strikes me that my writing about him may bring him to the attention of someone in Mr Yeltsin's office and his execution may be hastened.
But the chances are that nothing will be decided in the foreseeable future. The Kremlin leader is reviewing the use of the death penalty, weighing up the need to protect society from rising crime against the necessity of satisfying the Council of Europe on issues of human rights if Russia is to become a member of the European Union. However, with presidential elections due in June, the latter is not a priority.
Accurate statistics are hard to come by, but it seems that fewer executions are now being carried out in Russia. The head of the regional prison service, Colonel Vladimir Mitkeyev, thinks the number may have been about 20 for 1995.
How many prisoners still await execution is unknown.

Special needs solutions, since 2010
It's 2010, a turning point in my life after 20yrs in IT...
"Then the iPad came along, and my kids love drawing, but we found the styli available not, shall we say, elegant enough. They were mostly made of rubber or foam.
"So we started making our own, and at the same time I discovered Etsy." This American web venture that sells a very wide range of well-made products created by amateur, semi-professional and professional craftspeople.
"It was easy to set up a shop in Etsy, a nice low-profile platform, and I put some things in there and they just took off."
All the manufacturing is done at home. The kids (now fourteen and seventeen) suggest things and test, Ivo's wife machines the little sleeves of conductive material, and Ivo designs and develops the hard materials.
Soon after launching the shop, people with special needs were taking them apart and attaching them to their headsets, mouse-sticks and other pointing devices and using them with standard iPads.
An now we enable people with various mobility/disability issues on a daily basis to use tablets and smartphones the same as anyone else!

Established 27 years ago, the German early-music ensemble Cantus Cölln has achieved a prominent position among European baroque specialist groups, with a substantial and highly regarded discography to its credit. Given its durable renown, it was surprising that this all-Bach programme, consisting of three church cantatas and a couple of motets performed under Cantus's founder-director, Konrad Junghänel, represented the ensemble's belated Wigmore debut.
When sung unaccompanied, the motets are among the most challenging of Bach's choral works, and even with the safety net of instrumental accompaniment they remain seriously demanding. Singing one voice to a part, Cantus Cölln performed Lobet den Herrn and the larger Jesu, meine Freude with single strings and a chamber organ doubling the vocal lines.
The result, while finely shaped, was not always impeccably tidy. Yet while other groups might deliver performances with cleaner edges and a more dynamic sense of forward drive, what Junghänel and his vocalists offered was a warmth and humanity that more brilliant readings sometimes lack.
With real independent parts to perform, the instrumentalists came into their own in the cantatas. Katharina Spreckelsen brought striking tonal character and long-breathed phrasing to the oboe writing of Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen, while trumpeter Ute Hartwich, positioned in the gallery at the back of the hall, gave her summons to steadfast believers a mellow if slightly surreal grandeur.
Christ lag in Todesbanden, too, was done with considerable spirit, but it was in the unusual Gleichwie der Regen und Schnee, with its prayer for protection against the Turks and the pope, that the definition of both vocalists and players was at its most consistent. Individual voices might be on the mature side these days, but the homogenous blend the group has always aimed at was regularly realised.

The Warewolfs Move In
We have been running for so long now Joe and me have. We have to before we hut someone. Being warewolfs does that to us. We change whenever we are angry and that is half the time. We have stopped in a small town because we spotted the A.C.E Teams' helicopters at the city we were headed for. We felt sorry fot whichever supernaturals were being caught this time.
We split up so we would have more time of finding food. We agreed, after a long argument to meet at the bottom of the church tower.
Joe turned around and the last I saw of him, before he vanished into the crowds, was his short Spikey brown hair.
I turned to the right automatically once i heard someone say my name.
"Sarah?" It was a young mum. Her little five year old girl came rushing over to her.
I felt a pang of guilt as I remember how I lost my mum because I was overcome by rage. Her screams of fear and agony echoed in my ears as I entered the nearest food shop. I backed out immediently as I smelled two vampires.
"Steven I smell a warewolf nearbye" The small bouncy female vampire was telling the male vvampire whom I presumed was called Steven.
I backed up and then followed them. Ten minutes later after stopping at a few more shops, They were at the bottom of the tower. Joe came up behind them and tapped the male on the shoulder.
"Joe!" I yell running up to them "Get away from them there Vamp-" Before I could finish the younger one had came up behind me and placed a hand over my mouth. I shot back a snarl
"Dont let anyone know. The A.C.E. Team are wathcing us." She told me. I reluctantly nodded and moved over to get a hug andf kiss from Joe

I see you are young. After ruling out viral infections, autoimmune disorders, familial conditions, etc are the next common causes. I advise you not to worry excessively about the small rise in bilirubin levels. Many people with liver disorders will live with symptoms or issues with bili levels of 15 & above for many years. Thanks to the highest regenerative capacity of liver. Adopt a healthy lifestyle and check bili levels once in 6 months. If rising beyond 4-5, consult a good family physician or a gastroenterologist. Udiliv only helps in cases of obstruction, I feel your case is different since GGT and Alk Phos were normal.

NEW YORK (AP) Craig Stammen and the Washington Nationals really dampened the New York Yankees' day.
After waiting out a 5½-hour rain delay at the beginning, Stammen earned his first major league victory, Julian Tavarez provided key relief and the last-place Nationals beat New York 3-0 Thursday night in the first game without a homer at the new Yankee Stadium.
"When you have three meals at the ballpark before you start the game, it's been a long day," Nationals manager Manny Acta said. "It was worthwhile."
GAME REPORT: Nationals 3, Yankees 0
Boosted by Ryan Zimmerman's three hits and a bunch of nifty plays, Washington posted its first two-game winning streak since taking three straight May 7-9. Behind Stammen (1-2), the Nationals became the last team in the majors to pitch a shutout this season.
Unsure whether there would be a game, Stammen bided his time by reading a book, watching games on TV and eating lunch. Hours later, he learned he would be pitching.
"I guess it started right on time for me," he said.
Maybe it was the damp air, or perhaps it had more to do with Stammen's neat 6⅓ innings, but nobody managed to clear the fences. There had been a whopping 119 home runs through 34 games at the majors' newest launching pad.
Scheduled to start at 1:05 p.m., the game did not begin until 6:31 p.m. A postponement seemed unlikely because the teams shared only one mutual off-day the rest of the season for a possible makeup.
There is no official record of the longest rain delay in big league history, but this certainly ranked high at 5 hours, 26 minutes. The start of a pennant-race game in 1999 between Cincinnati and Milwaukee was delayed 5 hours, 47 minutes.
The call on whether to play or not rested with the Yankees.
"I was in the loop at all times," New York manager Joe Girardi said. "When we were supposed to start and couldn't, at 2, 3, 4 or 5, all of those times."
Said umpire crew chief Charlie Reliford: "It was their decision entirely. I had no input whatsoever."
About 10,000 people were sprinkled around the ballpark for the first pitch. When the Yankees announced fans could move down, there was a stampede toward the $2,625 seats in the front row. By the end, the upper deck and bleachers were virtually empty.
Later, the Yankees said all stubs for the game — used or not — could be redeemed for tickets or merchandise this season or in 2010.
Despite the messy weather, it was an extremely crisp game. No pratfalls, no errors and several sharp plays on both sides.
Yankees center fielder Brett Gardner made one of the best, tracking down Austin Kearns' long drive in the eighth. The back of Gardner's head whiplashed against the plexiglas wall, and he was down on the warning track for several minutes after getting the wind knocked out of him. A woozy Gardner was driven off on a golf cart.
"The body feels fine. I just have a little headache," Gardner said.
The Nationals' problematic outfield produced two gems. Left fielder Willie Harris made a diving catch on the warning track to rob Alex Rodriguez, and Kearns unleashed a perfect throw from right to cut down Nick Swisher at second.
Stammen worked around six hits, walked none and struck out two in his sixth big league start. The 25-year-old rookie sent the Yankees to their sixth loss in nine games.
Tavarez relieved with the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh. He retired pinch-hitter Derek Jeter on a grounder, with shortstop Cristian Guzman skidding to his left to make the stop. Exactly four years ago, Jeter hit the only grand slam of his career.
Mike MacDougal pitched the ninth for his second save. On Wednesday night, he closed out the Yankees for his first save in the majors since 2006.
Zimmerman doubled twice and singled off Joba Chamberlain (3-2). He scored twice and drove in a run as the Nationals took a 3-0 lead after five innings.
NOTES: Jeter did not start for the second straight game because of a sore left ankle. ... Washington 2B Ronnie Belliard wasn't feeling well and was scratched from the starting lineup. ... The game took 2 hours, 59 minutes.

Does this seem strange. Does nitro have a reader to distribute?
I will definitely get this software as long as I am not doing anything wrong with this file with the acrobat icon on it.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company
is he crazy
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, December 04, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, December 04, 2013
I had built a 1972 ss chevelle for rick wich turned out very well, after wich asked us if we could put a front end on his plymouth to wich we agreed to do, he brought the car over to our shop along with the subframe. As rick always had money issues we told him he had to have a deposit to get started. We then started to look at the car he brought us, it was the worst car i have ever seen,litterally put together with bondo and bailing wire, i told rick at this time we would have to rebuild half the frame to be able to install his subframe,as usual rick didnt have the money, so he said he would come and get it. in meentime we where getting ready to move the shop to knoxville,as moving day got closer i called rick numerous times to come get his car, finally he told us to park it out front and he would come by and get it, so we moved it out front in the parking lot of the complex, when we came in after the wknd car was gone, i know rick was always trying to scam somebody and im sur ehe picked up the car, nobody in their right mind would want to steal that peice, he was trying to pull a fast one to come up withsome cash after buying a bondo buggy off of ebay, with a blown motor, and rusted frame...as for the beadblaster....well we charged 90.00 an hour,we spent an hour unloading car, an hour getting it in shop and up on stands, 3 hours scraping crap off frame , and evaluating how to do what he wanted us to do coming up with a solution. once he decided he couldnt afford to repair it, he left it at shop for a month wich i told him i would start charging him storage, then we got the new shop and he was supposed to pick up car, not my problem he was to lazy to come get his car when he said he was( still think he did, trying to rip insurance company),so as far as his 300.00 beadblaster, ibeleive that didnt even cover what he owe us!!! cops , district attorney, everybody laughed at him, they all said nothing to investigate!!
