At 50, Brian Boitano hardly seems to have lost his edge. Twenty-six years after winning the figure skating gold medal at the 1988 Olympics, he has a new role at the 2014 Winter Games, as one of three openly gay athletes named to a nine-person official delegation representing the U.S. at the Sochi Olympics.
"I didn't realize that President Obama was sending such an immense message through this delegation," he said.
"And you, at that moment, were not openly gay?" said Smith.
"No, I was not, at that moment, openly gay. And I had no plans to," Boitano said. "Not because I was ashamed or anything, but because I realize I have a public side of my life, but I also have a personal side of my life."
But he was told years ago that appearances count and successful athletes need to maintain a certain image.
"After the Olympics, I had an agent who said, 'I don't know if you're gay or not, but you need to go on TV and say that you're not gay, because I'm trying to get you projects and endorsements,'" Boitano said.
Still, he decided that if ever there was a time to make a statement, this would be it.
So what, to him, is the message? "Everybody is different. And just because, you know, we're gay, does not mean that we can't be successful and we can't be proud, we can't be strong. We're all of those things -- and we are Americans."
It seems that whenever the world's athletes gather, politics goes along for the ride -- and in Sochi it's been especially rough.
First, the games are being held under threat of attack by Islamic militants, including the group that pulled off an attack in Volgograd last year; and relations between the U.S. and Russia are strained at best.
And then there's this: last year, the Russians passed a law banning what they call "gay propaganda": basically, they've made it illegal to express any gay rights sentiment in public.
That prompted President Obama to round out the U.S. delegation with gay athletes. Besides Boitano, there's tennis great Billie Jean King and hockey medalist Caitlin Cahow.
It comes down to a clash of cultures, according to NYU Russian Studies professor Stephen Cohen.
"You're dealing with a different civilization, to a certain extent," Cohen said, "'cause it's half in Europe, half in Asia, a country where 19th century traditions are very, very strong, where the Orthodox Church is very, very strong, and change comes in these societies from within.
"The problem is, politics has intruded more so than any Olympics I can remember."
Truth is, politics has always been part of the Olympics. The U.S. boycotted the 1980 Summer Olympic Games in Moscow over the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. And then there was the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, N.Y., when a hockey game between the U.S. and the Soviet teams became a Cold War showdown.
Mike Eruzione was 25 then, and captain of the team the whole country was watching.
"There was a telegram from a lady in Texas," he told Smith, "and all the telegram said was, 'Beat those commie bastards.' And it had nothing to do with the hockey game. But that was the mindset of people who weren't hockey fans. And I think that's what kind of made the moment so special for so many people."
And "special" doesn't even begin to describe it:
The U.S. team defeated the Soviets with a score of 4-3. The victory, known then and forever as the "Miracle on Ice," triggered an outburst of national pride.
"So everybody had had a different meaning," said Eruzione. "For us as a hockey team, we won. But for a nation, we won."
But Eruzione says making a political statement was the last thing on his mind.
"For us, it was a hockey game. I'd like to tell you it was this clearly political moment, but it was never talked about in the locker room. It was never talked about before the game. It was never talked about after the game from a team standpoint. We had great respect for the Soviet players."
Smith asked, "If a kid who's going to the Olympics came up to you and said, 'Should I use this moment to make a political statement?' what would you tell him or her?"
"How strong is it to you? How important is it to you?" Eruzione replied. "Because there [is] going to be some ridicule that you're going to have to face [from] a lot of people. And if you're strong enough to do that, then do it. But I would prefer it not to have it happen. 'Cause it's just going to open up a can of worms for that athlete in whatever situation it is."
And most people agree: according to a new CBS News poll, 82 percent say political expression should not have a role at the Olympic Games.
That includes Brian Boitano. Sure, he's in Sochi now to send a message, but at the 1988 Olympics, he kept his issues to himself -- on the ice, and on the medal stand.
"You really feel like everyone in America's watching," said Boitano. "You feel like you are America. It's, like, the weirdest feeling in a great way. It's, like, you just feel filled with pride and you just feel like, for that moment, you are America."
It was, of course, a very different America in 1968.
Dr. Martin Luther King had just been assassinated. Racial tension was at the boiling point.
When there was talk of political demonstrations at the '68 Summer Olympics, International Olympic Committee President Avery Brundage issued a warning: "I don't think any of these boys would be foolish enough to demonstrate at the Olympic Games. And I think if they do they will be promptly sent home."
That year in Mexico City, American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos won the gold and bronze medals, respectively, in the 200 meters.
On the medal stand, they went shoeless as a nod to poverty, wore beads in honor of lynching victims, and as the national anthem played, hung their heads and raised their fists in a salute John Carlos says was not anti-American, but pro-black.
"When we raised our fists, all the people who were loving me yesterday hated me today, merely because I exposed who I was as a black man," said Carlos.
"You could feel it at that moment?" Smith asked.
"At that very same moment."
"You could hear it from the crowd?"
"From the crowd. It wasn't like they were singing the national anthem; it got to the point that they were screaming it, like they were going to shove it down our throats."
Smith and Carlos were thrown off the team and out of the Olympic Village, and flew home to a country that for them would never be the same. At a press conference Carlos said, "There were so many white people telling me that I was a fool and I was standing up on that platform alone."
Smith said, "There are a lot of athletes, prominent athletes, who believe that once you stand up there [on the medal podium], that is not the place to make a political statement."
"Well, maybe they do it in their bedroom. Maybe that's the time and the place," Carlos said. "You know, maybe they go out in Park Avenue, do it out there on Park Avenue. Well, when is the time and the place? To do it when no one can see you? No one can feel you and no one can hear you? No one can try and understand you? Where is the place to do it?
"That's the only place to do it, is where you're going to meet the masses," he said.
"Even if the masses boo you at first?"
"They love me now," Carlos replied.
Whatever the outcome of his presence in Sochi, Brian Boitano will come home to multiple project on and off the ice.
Mike Eruzione of the 1980 hockey team is a motivational speaker with a story no one seems to get tired of hearing.
"We could've lost. And you wouldn't be talking to me," Eruzione laughed.
"Maybe I'd be talking to you for something else," Smith replied.
"Yeah, maybe I'd win the lottery tor something."
John Carlos says his actions in Mexico City cost his dearly, and he struggled for years. Today if you visit San Jose State University, you'll see a statue of Tommie Smith and John Carlos -- a tribute to a moment that was, to him, worth any price.
"Yes, I feel that I did the right thing, and God's giving me my rewards for doing it," Carlos told Smith. "Now, I'm not one of the richest guys in the nation, but then again, I don't think that they can buy what I have."
Which is? "My persona. My swagger. My confidence. My faith. And my good looks!"
"You think your Wheaties box is still coming?" asked Smith.
"It might not come in my life and time, but I'd say for people who're just like me, eventually it will be there, where they will come to the realization that we have to start promoting equality and fair play in this society in which we live.
"That sells Wheaties, too."

NFL Texans Coach Kubiak Returning to Sideline After Mini-Stroke
Nov. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Houston coach Gary Kubiak, who missed one game while recovering from a mini-stroke, said he will return to the sideline Nov. 17 when the Texans try to break a franchise-record seven-game losing streak.
Kubiak, 52, collapsed on the field at halftime in the Texans' loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 3.
"It just feels great to be back," Kubiak told reporters yesterday in his first public remarks since returning to the team two days earlier. "You have a true appreciation for the opportunity that you have and the opportunity to be around the players."
The Texans began the season with two victories before losing seven straight. This weekend they host the Oakland Raiders, who are 3-6.

Day 4 started with a trip to Stansbury Island, on the Great Salt Lake, for target shooting and clay pigeons.
My brother with his short barreled AR-15:
In this shot I'm blasting away at some clay pigeons (it had been a long time since I'd shot a shotgun and until I got back into the swing of it many clay pigeons flew away unharmed
I'd never shot a Smith and Wesson M&P pistol before so I'm trying out my brother's:
Stansbury Island is accessed via a dirt road (causeway) from the south. On both sides of the causeway there are fields for harvesting salt:
A salt plant on I-80:
After lunch I started the long ride home. Instead of cruising I-80 yet again, I decided to only take it as far as Wendover. In Wendover I got on Hwy 93 south, to Ely, NV. At Ely I turned west on I-50, which I followed all the way to Fallon.
Southbound on Hwy 93 outside of Wendover:
Interstate 50; The Loneliest Road in America:
Sand Mountain, just east of Fallon, NV:
I got into Reno at about 9 PM Pacific time. My plan was to camp around Stampede Reservoir, near Truckee. Unfortunately when I got there all the campsites had "reserved" signs posted on them. I was also shocked that the National Forest camping fee was $24 dollars a night (steep compared to what I remembered). The temperature had also dropped as I climbed into the Sierras so a motel was pretty tempting. I decided to stay at an Inn in Donner Pass.
The morning of day 5, on I-80 in Donner Pass:
The ride home was uneventful. Nice weather (although windy as usual) and sunny. I stopped briefly in Roseville at the BMW dealership to see if the tall windshield brackets were in yet for the 2011 R1200R's. No luck, they won't even be at stores in Germany until the 18th of this month. Oh well.
All in all it was a fun trip.

Nobile by Gucci
Should have been called Gucci Woods. The opening is an aromatic fougere with a generous helping of spices that reminds me of the soapy opening of Safari for Men, but after this, it quickly digresses to a mélange of woods particularly cedar, sandalwood, and pine from which there is no return. The sillage and longevity is immense, which is Nobiles only positive quality. If only the top notes never faded

Is there a way to create a new class from a String variable in Java?
String className = "Class1";
//pseudocode follows
Object xyz = new className(param1, param2);
Also, if possible does the resulting object have to be of type Object?
There may be a better way, but I want to be able to retrieve values from an XML file, then create the classes named after those strings. Each of classes all implement the same interface and are derived from the same parent class, so I would then be able to call a particular method in that class.

Coffee Break: ServiceMaster quarterly income slides 63%
ServiceMaster quarterly income slides 63%
Memphis-based ServiceMaster Co. on Tuesday reported first-quarter operating income dropped 63.2 percent to to $20 million compared to a year ago.
"Our first-quarter 2013 results were disappointing," said John Krenicki Jr., interim CEO. "The path forward for us starts with putting our customers first, executing well and implementing the turnaround agenda at TruGreen."
Sales slipped to $608 million, a drop in operating revenue of 7.1 percent over the same period a year ago.
Krenicki, named CEO after CEO Hank Mullany resigned last month, said TruGreen's performance and the late spring in much of the country dimmed sales and earnings. Excluding TruGreen, other ServiceMaster businesses performed about as expected, Krenicki said.
"We're confident about the future of ServiceMaster. We have leading brands," Krenicki said, adding, "we need to make progress at TruGreen while continuing to run the rest of our businesses well."
ServiceMaster counts more than 7,300 company-owned, franchise and licensed locations around the world with 20,000 corporate staffers and 31,000 franchise workers. The company's brands are American Home Shield, AmeriSpec, Furniture Medic, Merry Maids, ServiceMaster Clean, Terminix and TruGreen.

I agree with pp about Charlotte. Charlotte Josephine goes nicely with your subset, has good flow and is cute too! Charlotte is quite a popular name though, does that bother you at all? Hazel Josephine also has the vintage feel that would work with your sibset. Mae, too, but I don't like the flow of Mae Josephine.
Other ideas:
Eliza Josephine
Violet Josephine (I really like this one for its flow and sound)
Vivian Josephine

With Trevor and Adelaide, I like Lillian Josephine, Eloise Josephine, and Hazel Josephine the best-- slightly old-fashioned and not too popular, but classic and elegant names. I really like the suggestion of Violet Josephine too. Carys/Cerys was the first Welsh name I thought of for you.

Why is Fool's Gold rated PG-13?
Official MPAA Rating: Fool's Gold is rated PG-13 for for action violence, some sexual material, brief nudity and language
This tale about finding sunken treasure does have a daughter and father working out their differences and a husband and wife rethinking a divorce. However, other content overshadows these highlights. Violence consists of gunplay, with characters being threatened and shot at (some non-life-threatening wounds result). A man is harpooned in the leg, a woman is kidnapped by men and forced into a deep hole, and a pilot is kicked out of a plane while the craft is still in the air. Sexual content ranges from a variety of tiny bikinis and low cut shirts to one brief shot of fully exposed female breasts. Sexual activity between a married man and woman are implied as well as overheard. There are also plenty of sexual innuendos, including comments made by a homosexual couple. Moderate profanities and terms of deity are used frequently throughout the script. Alcohol use to the point of drunkenness is depicted, and one inebriated character is portrayed driving a boat.

I love Maine Coons. One came to us, starving on a very cold Vermont December morning and, after eating the sardine juice and other yummies from our trash, sat looking in the window. I really liked most of this article, but the sexism was a definite turn off... "Gentler sex"? Really? Also, a lot of women enjoy cats that are playful, and I'm sure many men actually enjoy less playful cats. I have a vagina and love it when our Maine Coon head butts me. Maybe I'm not really a woman... I guess I'll go get checked out.

A girl I know has a.mix between raccoon and cat. The mother just.had kittens
Cee Hoxie, AR
Gayle, We have a 7 mo old female Maine Coon that was found last July with her litter mates in a garage w a dog door :). As far as I know, momma cat was never seen. Lilith is very playful and always gentle w us when playing. However, she sometimes hissing when playing (also growls if guarding stolen hair-ties), nearly always hisses when picked up, and usually swats at hands that try to pet. Other than the first weeks after we found her when she was being bottle fed, no one has been able to hold her in their lap (only 12 ozs at 6 wks! extremely malnourished, upper respiratory infection, anemic from fleas, and dehydrated). She also used to growl and hiss when eating, but stopped after about a month - by that time she weighed 2 1/2 lbs :) and was used to always having food. She may sound like an unpleasant cat, but we all, including my husband the cat "hater", adore her. While she won't tolerate being held, she is always nearby. In fact, she used to get quite upset when alone and would chirp until someone called out to her. She's always curious abt whatever is going on. She follows me around the house. She makes cute trilling noises when she wants attention. She runs everywhere, has no problem keeping up with my Siamese-mix boy cat whose strides are twice as long. Usually a cat will hiss as a warning because it is frightened. I think that Lilith's hissing is simply a way to communicate displeasure, except when playing (hoarding stolen hair-ties) then I think it's a challenge. Unless I see that she has a reason to feel frightened (vacuum cleaner), I ignore the hissing (she wasn't ready to go inside when I was). Does your cat swat at you w it's claws out? If it does, then it is frightened. Cats have a strong sense of smell. If she is frightened, is it possibly being triggered by a smell? Batting - nipping when caught - the wiggling fingers was a favorite game w Lilith (even our 13 yr old cat still plays this). This is still her first instinct when we reach for her. However, she has never swiped at any of us w her claws extended. Thankfully, she outgrew the game of "grab the ankles while they're going down the stairs". Good Luck
Gayle Easthampton,, MA
I found the articale of interest,but it does not mention any problem with a hissing or swating cat. I just got a female that had been treated badly and was found alone in a home with a man who had been dead for a while. They all said she was mean, but I don't beleave that. She is with me now and I would like to know how I can brake her of this habit. Otherwise she is a wonderful soul and I love her. I am sure it will take time even if I have the answer.

Trains, Malmö
15 Reviews
15 Reviews
This is a very easy journey indeed.
There are frequent trains from Copenhagen's central station which serve Malmo and it's a quick trip, taking just 34 minutes. The train goes over the magnificent Oresund bridge (rail lines are underneath the road) but, given the speed at which it travels and the network of bridge supports, taking photos is very difficult. You do get some lovely sea views though!
Trains are clean, safe and comfortable although can be a bit crowded at times because they also serve Copenhagen's airport and there are plenty of commuters in both directions anyway. But it's a very short trip and I had no difficulty getting a seat in either direction.
I particularly appreciated the fact that there are racks of free streetmaps (Copenhagen and Malmo on one sheet of paper) available in the carriages. That's good planning, imo. :-)
In August 2014 I bought my round-trip ticket on the day I visited Malmo from Copenhagen station's ticket office but could (I think) have just used the ticket machines. By the time I started writing this tip I'd somehow managed to lose the ticket and couldn't remember exactly how much I'd paid for the return trip. A one-way ticket is now (February 2015) 89DKK and I don't recall there being any cheaper return-trip fares: it's just double the one-way fare. :-)
Malmo station is clean, safe and easy to negotiate...and just a few minutes' walk from the heart of the oldest part of the city.
It is very easy to get to Malmö by train, and especially since the City Tunnel opened some years ago, adding the Triangeln station as a great city centre alternative. Coming from Denmark, all you have to do is get on a train at Copenhagen Central station or even Copenhagen airport! The "Öresundståg" trains run every 20 minutes for most of the day and it takes only a little more than half an hour to Malmö Central station. The major Copenhagen stations even has Skånetrafiken ticket machines for the many travelling Swedes. Pick a "duo" ticket if you are more than one person who want to cross the bridge for a daytrip. Note that you have to have a ticket before boarding the train as they are no longer sold on board!
The Öresund trains also take you to Malmö from Kalmar/Växjö, Göteborg/Halmstad and Karlskrona, all in the south of Sweden, before continuing to Copenhagen.
Swedish SJ "high speed" trains (formerly known as X2000) can also take you from Copenhagen and its airport, but are less frequent and then you need one of their tickets instead (and does not stop at Triangeln and other local Malmö stations). These are the trains also taking you to Malmö from for instance Stockholm. From there, you can also get to Malmö with a slower budget train run by Veolia and both of these have connections to the Swedish highlands in winter.
Veolia also run night trains to/from Berlin which use the ferries between Trelleborg and Sassnitz for the crossing. These trains run most of the year but not November-March.
For going around Skåne (Scania) and some of the border towns north of it, you can also use the purple Pågatåg trains with local tickets from the machines/service centres. These tend to stop in more/smaller places than major trains of course.
My second picture in this tip is from the 150th anniversary of the Swedish railways in 2006. As Malmö-Lund was the first proper passenger stretch to open, there were celebrations with all sorts of vintage trains. See my Lund travelogue if you are interested in more pictures.
Public transport is not cheap in Skane and if you want to ride around Skane left n right for a few days the 72 hour card is good value:)
Since the completion in 2000 of the Oresund Bridge and Tunnel Malmo and Copenhagen have become almost like Siamese Twin cities and in fact many people live in one whilst working in the other. As well as the road connection the two are also linked by a regular train service which runs every 20 minutes during the day (hourly at night) with a journey time of 35 minutes.
At each end the main train stations are in the city centres (which I suppose is why both are called "Central" - HA!) and on arrival at Malmo the main pedestrianised area is just across the road from the station's front entrance with the docks in the other direction.
This is quite a spectacular journey once you emerge from the tunnel onto the bridge with its almost 8 km legnth spanning the Sound and useful to note is that the trains stop at Copenhagen's Kastrup airport.
At the time of writing (March 2012) the return fare was 164 DKK and tickets can be obtained either from the machines or the manned windows at the stations.
Malmo used to be a dead end, and its train station a terminus. That's because it was at the bottom of Sweden, and when you got here there was nowhere left to go, except the sea. But since the building of the Oresund bridge to Denmark, things changed. Now Malmo is a major stop on a train route running from the north of Sweden, through Copenhagen, Germany and into the rest of Europe. The recently built a new tunnel line linking the main station to the bridge, and now the city is a through line and not a terminal.
This is Malmo's train station and Bus terminal but also there's a Tourist information office very handy for getting maps and useful information about Malmo.
If you want to get to Copenhagen you can buy trickets for £15 return
We used the railways to go to Lund & Copenhagen on both local & intercity trains. There are easy to use ticket machines in all stations and in Malmö Central we were given advice on what tickets to use by red coated station officials. One tip was to but a family ticket instead of 2 adult singles for a cheaper fare.
The "Påga-tåg" are the commuters that can take you around the area of Scania (The Swedish region which Malmö is located in).
They departure from the Centralstation, and the ticketprice vary depending on where you go (of course!)...but it´s not very expensive.
The cheapest & easiest way is to buy a ticket on the centralstation, but if you choose to buy one on the train keep in mind that it will cost you an extra fee (ca 5-6 Euro/50 SEK).
The commuters departure pretty often, so you can usually just go to the centralstation and catch a train.
I visited Malmo on a day trip by train from Copenhagen. The Oresund trains depart Copenhagen for Malmo across the Oresund bridge about every 20 minutes. The journey time is only 35 minutes and the train also stops at Copenhagen Airport (Kastrup). The return ticket was 140 DKK (about 18,50 EURO).
If you have been living in the European Union, Eastern Europe, Russia, Turkey, Tunisia, and Morocco Interrail tickets offer really incredible value when it comes to touring Europe by train. In fact, my economies came close to paying 5 or 6 times less than I would have had I been buying individual tickets. You buy the ticket in one of the countries it covers, and travel free in all the other countries, and with 50% discount in that country. No wonder I bought mine in Luxembourg :)))
Then you just hop on the train (fixing a seat reservation if needed), ad go - no traffic jams, (usually) timely arrivals and so on.
You can purchase the ticket for each of 8 geographic zones, or for multiple zones - for a time length of 1 week, 2 weeks, 21 days (1,2,3-zone ticket only for this last option), or a month (for 4 to 8-zone tickets). There are also discounts for those younger than 25.
Got the high-speed train between Copenhagen & Malmo C across the Oresund bridge for 124Dk return. It takes about 40 mins. There are no border or passport controls.
It's a nice experience, getting a train over water. When flying to Copenhagen from Warsaw last year, I could look down on the bridge spanning across the Oresund, it looks really cool from the air . I thought to myself 'I have to go on that!' And this year I did :) I did try taking a photo of the Swedish coast from the train but the bridge pillars have obscured the view as you can see.
Trains shuttle between the 2 cities every 20 mins. It also serves Helsingborg & Copenhagen Kastrup airport
You can just walk around the city centre. Buses go to the suburbs.
Check http://www.cph.dk/CPH/UK/main/getting+here/oeresund+bridge.htm for toll information
If you come from abroad, the easiest way to travel is to fly to Copenhagen in Denmark and then take the train into Malmö City, just make sure you step off the train at the second train station after the airport and not the first. Many are those tourists who have stepped off at Malmö Syd just to find themselves in the middle of nowhere!:-)
The best way to get around Malmö is by walking, as most tourist sites and all shopping is centralised in the heart of Malmö. If you are going to see the bridge, play on horses or do any other activity at the outskirts of Malmö bus or taxi is the only alternative. Malmö don't have any tube system, although we are planning to build one in the future.
Take the train. This is the start, or end station for the trains in Sweden. From here it's also possible to take the train over to Copenhagen in Denamrk using the newly build bridge between Sweden and Denmark. If you take the 'airport coaches' (Flygbussarna) from Malmö Sturup Airport this will be your final destination as well. One way ticket to/from the airport costs 70 SEK.
From the central station it's walking distance to the city centre.
From Copenhagen Central Station to Malmö it's only 35 minutes distance by train, across the Öresund Bridge that connects Denmark to Sweden over the sound.
Bright purple trains run from the station to Lund and Helsingborg. Buy a ticket from the machine on the platform, it speaks many languages!

We may not be able to tell you everything they have in store for the evening, but you can bet it will be a show that will make you want to break out the dancing shoes.
Blind Date will perform outdoors in the "Bellmont Courtyard" pending seasonable weather. The auditorium will serve as a rain-out location. Music will begin around 7:15 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Let's dance!

Power up your carts, practice with your partners and "on your marks" – get set to go out and have some fun! This event has become a staple activity at our rallies and it never disappoints. Prepare to enjoy yourself! You'll never use a golf cart the same way again.

Washington State Seal of Biliteracy
What is the Seal of Biliteracy?OSPI has drafted criteria for awarding the Seal of Biliteracy (RCW 28A.300.575) and is developing the Washington Administrative Code (WAC). The Washington State Seal of Biliteracy is established to recognize public high school graduates who have attained a high level of proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing in one or more world languages in addition to English. "Participating school districts with students eligible to receive the Seal, shall place a notation on a student's high school diploma and high school transcript indicating that the student has earned the seal." (RCW 28A.230.125)
The Seal will be available to districts to formally recognize students that demonstrate:
Identifying Students for the Seal
Flow Chart
Districts may award the Seal of Biliteracy starting in the 2014-2015 School Year
The WAC 392-410-350 becomes effective on May 22, 2015 that establishes the criteria for awarding the Seal. Use the flow chart to determine eligibility.
Transcripts and CEDARS
CEDARS Data Manual - The 2015-16 documents provide information in:
The 2014-15 Transcript Development Guide, provides information on page 75 regarding how to report the Seal of Biliteracy on a student transcript beginning with the Class of 2015.
The 2014-15 CEDARS documents do not contain information regarding submitting Seal of Biliteracy information, districts may not submit this data to CEDARS until 2015-16.
Origins of the Seal of Biliteracy
Washington is one of 8 states that have passed a Seal of Biliteracy Growing numbers of states are passing similar pieces of legislation. The Seal of Biliteracy originated in California and was signed into law in October 2011, with the first seals being issued starting in early 2012. New York passed their bill and it was signed into law in July 2012. Illinois passed their law in 2013, and a number of other states are also enacting legislation.
Why the Seal of Biliteracy?
Over 40% of Washington State jobs are tied to international trade, so it is critical for students to develop proficiency in English and other languages to maintain competitiveness. The bilingual skills of students for whom English is not a first or dominant language represent a tremendous potential resource to the state. Also, English students who follow long sequences of world language study and practice increase their marketability in the workplace. In addition to career advantages, studies also show numerous cognitive benefits for students learning more than one language, including enhanced working memory, attention, flexibility and creative thinking. All of these attributes will be valuable in students' futures.

Thread: Digital Paintings!
May 1st, 2010 #1
Digital Paintings!
So, I haven't really gotten much response on my previous post, and I realize now that I didn't add a thumbnail. Or maybe my art just isn't very good. Either way, here's one last shot:
Hi everyone! I'm new here. I've recently taken up digital painting/concept art so I thought it'd be a good idea to get into these Internet art forum/blog things, and what better place to start than at conceptart.org? Actually I created a blog first, but...whatever.
So, I'm trying to get a handle on that quick concept sketch type of painting technique as seen in works by Mathias Verhasselt, and various other artists. So here's a few of the resulting paintings (I did use the pen tool for certain elements). Feedback on composition, lighting, and technique would be greatly appreciated

That's definitely a good idea. I'm planning to be totally elite within the next 3 months or so and this fantastical wonderland crap really takes too much time to come up with and composite.
And I've got a pretty high tolerance for boredom so, no problem.
May 1st, 2010 #5
The Nerf Gattling Cannon!!!
Dunno if that's actually what it's called. Anyways, here's a quick one that I left midway through. I felt maybe the previous ones were a bit too finished to really comment on technique.
May 3rd, 2010 #6
Another quick sketch. It's a moped.
May 3rd, 2010 #7
I really like the light bulb. I think the imagery in your other efforts are a bit flat. The composition elements are interesting and actually made me curious as to what the story would be.
Regarding: Commenting...there is another section of CA that I think will give you the type of comments you are looking for, for example Motion Graphics and Animation, also there are forums set up for Crit and analysis.
Another suggestion, re-edit your first post to include in the title line your desire for crit and analysis. Seems to work for some folks.
What paint program are you using?
May 3rd, 2010 #8
Thanks for the critique and advice SomberTwin! They are kinda flat now that you mentioned it. I'll definitely check out the other forums, and try the title thing. And I used Photoshop for these.
May 5th, 2010 #9
Hi Jackson. Never stop trying. Many of us will succeed from 5th or even more attempts. And this is only your second.
Good start on your sketchbook. I would love to see your pencil work, as it seems you can draw a nice characters - that old lady in the first post rocks!
Show us more work, keep posting!
May 5th, 2010 #10
the images in the first post look wicked, especially the granny. I think a bit more contrast in this piece would really make it pop. Just my two cents worth. Keep posting.

Students in our exercise science courses learn how exercise, nutrition, weight control and stress-management promote health, and how to relate those skills into workplace safety and wellness practices. Studies also include the causes, prevention and management of disease, as well as knowledge of general anatomy, physiology and biomechanics to customize exercise programs for fitness, metabolism and weight control.
The Mission of the Exercise Science Department is to educate and positively impact the health of students and the community by offering academic course work, outreach, and practical learning opportunities that promote individual wellness skills and prepare future health, exercise science and wellness professionals for their future.
Because GRCC is a college of distinction, we implement a wellness (WE) course requirement that aims to enrich the quality of life and academic excellence of our student body. One WE credit is required, however, two WE credits count towards graduation.

A Hamas spokesman denied on Wednesday any rockets had been fired from the Gaza Strip at Israel, after the Israeli military and police reported a rocket launched from the territory had landed in southern Israel.
Spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said Hamas "denies there was any rocket fire at the occupation this evening", referring to Israel. The firing was reported two hours before the expiry of a three-day truce in a more than month-old war, as Egyptian-mediated talks to extend the ceasefire ran into difficulties in Cairo.

The hotel looks to be recently updated and the free wi-fi is nice. Staff spoke good English and was helpful. While the room was fairly small, I think that's common for Hotels in Madrid. The bathroom was big however and had a great shower. Only
recommendation is that they get at least one english speaking channel on their satellite package such as CNN.
