Dossier Disclaimer
The information in this trip details document has been compiled with care and is provided in good faith. However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research. Sometimes it can be a small change like adding an extra meal along the itinerary. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you print a final copy of your Trip Details to review a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
Itinerary Disclaimer
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
Itinerary Notes
Please note that this tour combines with other G Adventures tours. As such, the staff and some travel companions on your tour may have previously been traveling together, prior to Day 1 of your tour. Likewise, some staff and travel companions may be continuing together on another G Adventures tour, after your trip concludes.
Please note that our 18-to-Thirtysomethings accommodation in Europe is multi-share. For more info, see the "About Accommodation" section under "Tour Details".
Important Notes
1. It is important to note that in Europe, all guiding is based around local guides, all of whom are licensed to work only in a particular city. As such, our leaders are able to provide orientation walks which will show you the layout of each town and city as well as the location of local services such as post offices and laundromats, but are unable to legally share historical facts and figures in public places.
2. In Europe it is very rare to find elevators in train stations, hotels or other public places. We use public transport on this trip, which means you will need to carry your luggage from platform to platform, in and out of trains and buses etc. and also possibly up several flights of stairs. You will also need to be able to stow your luggage safely on trains and buses. It is therefore essential that you pack light and bring luggage which is compact and lightweight, and which you can easily transport. The carrying of your luggage remains your responsibility at all times.
3. This trip has a fast-paced itinerary with some long transport days – please check the itinerary carefully before deciding if this trip suits your needs.
4. Please note that this tour combines with other G Adventures tours. As such, the staff and some travel companions on your tour may have previously been traveling together with G Adventures, prior to Day 1 of your tour. Likewise, some staff and travel companions may be continuing together on another G Adventures tour, after your trip concludes.
Group Leader Description
This G Adventures group trip is accompanied by one of our group leaders. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting – we think it's the best of both worlds.
Group Size Notes

Meals Included
No meals included
Eating is a big part of traveling. G Adventures understands the importance of breakfast to start your day, we strive to include a basic breakfast wherever possible. A typical breakfast may include toast, coffee and tea, however this may vary depending on the city. Should breakfast not be included, your CEO can suggest some local options.
Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip. While trekking in remote regions etc. food is included, plentiful and made of fresh local ingredients.
For all trips please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and meal budgets.
Train, bus, plane, walking.
About our Transportation
On this trip we will use local buses and trains for intercity transport and a mix of metro (subway), local bus, taxis and walking for transport between hotels and bus/train stations. Please be prepared to carry your own bags short distances (20-30 mins max) between hotels and transport, as well as to lift your bags on and off buses and trains. Please note that there is often limited luggage storage space on public transport.
As we rely heavily on public transportation during this trip, we ask you to be flexible for possible changes in the modes of transport and schedules, which may necessitate small itinerary changes.
Solo Travellers
We believe solo travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and solo travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.
Hostels (6 nts, multi-share).
About Accommodation
The variety and local flavour of our accommodation is a favourite part of our European 18-to-Thirtysomethings trips. Although the properties we use are simply furnished and with few facilities, we base our choices on location, character and cleanliness. We will stay in a mixture of hostels, and private rooms in local households.
All accommodation on this tour is multi-share, on a single-sex basis. This may involve 4-6 group members sharing and even (on rare occasions) dormitory-style rooms for the whole group. The majority of accommodation will have shared bathroom facilities.
Couples: Please note that due to the types of accommodation used in Europe we are not able to take requests for double or matrimonial beds, or room you together on this tour. In multi-share hostels, couples will likely be accommodated in separate rooms.
Joining Hotel
For details of your joining hotel please refer to your tour voucher, G Account, the G Adventures App or contact your travel agent.
Joining Instructions
Please note that day 1 is an arrival day and no activities have been planned on this day. Upon arrival to the city on day 1 (or earlier if you have booked pre-accommodation with us), please make your way to the joining hotel. Note that check-in time will be in the afternoon. Once you arrive at the hotel, look for a note or bulletin board in the reception with a note from your CEO. This note will give the details of your Welcome Meeting on day 1 (usually between 5pm and 7pm), where you will get a chance to meet your CEO and other travellers, as well as learn more about how the tour will run. If you don't see a note, please ask reception for details!
If you are arriving later and will miss the Welcome Meeting, your CEO will leave a note at reception for you with any information you may need, and with morning instructions for the next day.
By Bus from the Airport:
Shuttle buses run from Fiumicino airport and Ciampino Airport to Termini station in the city centre approximately every half hour. Look for the Terravision stand at the arrival terminal. Cost is €5 one way and takes approximately 1hour.
By Train from the Airport:
The Leonardo Express is the name of the train that will shuttle you from Rome's main international airport, Fiumicino, to central Rome's Termini station. A Leonardo Express train leaves every half hour in each direction.
Trains to Roma Termini Station start at 6:35 in the morning with trains running at 5 and 35 minutes after the hour. The last train of the day departs at 11.35pm. The train station is open 4am to 1am and covers 35 km in around 30 minutes. Cost is 14 Euros per person. Tickets for Leonardo Express are available at rail ticket office, newspaper seller tobacconist's, and self-service tellers, each located in the railway station atrium.
You must always stamp tickets in the machines on the platform before starting your journey.
To find the hotel, exit the station using the Via Giolitti exit on the left hand side if you have your back to the trains. Cross the road and continue down Via Manin. Walk to the end of the block and you will see the hotel in front of you.

Taxis run fixed rates to and from airports. The rate is 40 EUR. The rate for designated Fiumicino taxi drivers is 60 EUR and are inclusive of luggage, for a maximum of four passengers.
Arrival Complications
We don't expect any problems, and nor should you, but if for any reason you are unable to commence your trip as scheduled, please refer to the emergency contact details provided in this dossier and contact us as soon as possible. If you have a pre-booked transfer, and you have not made contact with our representative within 30 minutes of clearing customs and immigration, we recommend that you make your own way to the Starting Point hotel, following the Joining Instructions. Please apply to your travel agent on your return for a refund of the transfer cost if this occurs.

What to Take
We recommend using a backpack for your convenience, or a medium-sized suitcase if you prefer. A daypack is also essential for carrying everyday items.

You must be prepared to carry your luggage up and down stairs, on and off transportation, and to hotels (max 15-20 mins.)

Spending Money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
Money Exchange
Credit cards and debit cards are very useful for cash advances but you must remember to bring your PIN number (be aware that many ATM machines only accept 4-digit PINs). Both Cirrus and Plus system cards are the most widely accepted debit cards. Visa cards are the most widely accepted credit cards. While ATMs are commonly available, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work – Check with your bank. You should be aware when purchasing products or services on a credit card, that a fee usually applies.
Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money. A combination of Euros, traveller's cheques and cards is best. Avoid relying on traveller's cheques alone as these are less and less readily cashed as clients use them very little.
Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds.
Emergency Fund
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
It is customary in Europe to leave a small tip for service providers, such as waiters, if you are pleased with the service (€1-2).
Tipping is an expected – though not compulsory – component of your tour program, and an expression of satisfaction with the persons who have assisted you on your tour. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. There are several times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip the local guides. You may do this individually, or your CEO will offer to collect the money and tip as a group. Recommendations for tipping local guides would range from €3-5 per day, depending on the quality and length of the service; ask your CEO for specific recommendations based on the circumstances and culture.
Also at the end of each trip if you felt your G Adventures CEO did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline €30-40 per person, per week can be used.

Please note inoculations may be required for the country visited. It is your responsibility to consult with your travel doctor for up to date medical travel information well before departure.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure. We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitizers / antibacterial wipes as well as any personal medical requirements. Please be aware that quite often we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities, and for legal reasons our leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc. When selecting your trip please carefully read the brochure and itinerary and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please refer to the Physical and Culture Shock ratings in this dossier for trip specific information. For travellers over 70 years a completed Medical Form is required. G Adventures reserves the right to exclude any traveller from all or part of a trip without refund if in the reasonable opinion of our CEO they are unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group.
Safety and Security
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewelery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your group leader has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it deemed necessary, due to safety concerns. Your Chief Experience Officer (CEO) will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy and explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location, please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgement when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards), have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk. Read more about travel safety for ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling.
A Couple of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of people in the sex trade is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our CEOs have the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they engage in any form of paid sex work.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your leader, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency evacuation and repatriation. A minimum coverage of USD200,000 is required. G Adventures can provide you with the appropriate coverage. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Some tours include adventure activities that require extra coverage (e.g. crampon use); please review your itinerary and make sure that you are covered for all included activities. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.

sends query to Wolfram|Alpha and imports the output.
imports the output according to the specified format.
Details and Options
- Using WolframAlpha requires internet connectivity.
- The following formats are supported:
"FullOutput" a fully formatted version of Wolfram|Alpha output "Image" a single image of the Wolfram|Alpha output "WolframParse" a Wolfram Language expression corresponding to the query "WolframResult" pure standard Wolfram Language result (if any) "Result" result in the form generated by = "SpokenResult" result in a speakable form "ShortAnswer" result in a short human-readable form "URL" Wolfram|Alpha API URL for the query "XML" raw XML data "WolframForms" list of Wolfram Language expressions in the output, in held form "PodInformation" a list of all known information about each pod "PodCells" a list of pod contents, rendered as Wolfram Language cells "PodImages" a list of pod contents, rendered as bitmaps "PodPlaintext" a list of pod contents, as plain text "PodTitles" a list of available pod titles "PodIDs" a list of available pod IDs "PodStates" a list of available pod states "SessionInfo" a list of session values that may be sent to the Wolfram|Alpha server to compute the result "DataRules" a list of available exposed data "Validate" whether the query can be interpreted by Wolfram|Alpha {"podid"} a list of available properties for a given pod {{"podid",subpodid}} a list of available properties for the given pod and subpod {"podid","property"} the values of a given property for the given pod {{"podid",subpodid},"property"} the value of a given property for the given pod and subpod
- The pod ID in WolframAlpha[query,{podid,elems}] can be any string returned by WolframAlpha[query,"PodIDs"].
- When the second argument is a list, any element of that list can itself be a list, or All, indicating that all matching properties should be returned.
- WolframAlpha[query] is equivalent to WolframAlpha[query,"FullOutput"] in a notebook front end, and WolframAlpha[query,{ All,{"Plaintext","Input"}}] otherwise.
- The following options can be given:
AppearanceElements Automatic elements to include in the displayed results Asynchronous False whether to use asynchronous features of the API ExcludePods None specific pod IDs to exclude from the results IncludePods All specific pod IDs to include in the results InputAssumptions {} assumptions to include in the API call PodStates {} information about the state of pods PodWidth Automatic the width parameters of content returned by the API TimeConstraint 20 how many seconds to allow for the API call
- AppearanceElements only affects results that are returned with structured formatting, such as WolframAlpha[string,"FullOutput"].
- Possible AppearanceElements include "Warnings", "Assumptions", "Pods", and "Sources".
- Asynchronous->True sets the "async = true" flag in the API, but then automatically resolves asynchronous content with subsequent calls to Import.
- Asynchronous->All will set the "async = true" flag, and leave any asynchronous content unresolved.
- When the second argument is a list, any settings for IncludePods and ExcludePods are ignored.
- If IncludePods and ExcludePods are both set to non-empty lists of pod IDs, ExcludePods will be ignored.
- PodWidth->w sets the API's "width" parameter to w.
- PodWidth can be set to a list of up to four numbers, corresponding to the API parameters "width", "maxwidth", "plotwidth", and "infowidth".
- WolframAlpha[args,TimeConstraint->t] is effectively equivalent to TimeConstrained[WolframAlpha[args],t].
- TimeConstraint->t does not constrain the time spent for asynchronous downloads.
- If TimeConstraint is set to a list of values, the second element is used for the API's "scantimeout" setting, the third for "podtimeout", and the fourth for "formattimeout".

MLBTR says both Jermaine Dye and Octavio Dotel project as Type A Free-Agents. A team that loses a Type A free-agent receives 2 extra draft picks when another team signs them, provided that the team that loses the player offers him arbitration. One draft pick comes from the team that signs the player and the other in a supplemental draft round. It doesn't look like the Sox will offer arbitration to Dye or Dotel though. If D & D are offered arbitration they could accept and Kenny wouldn't like having to pay them.
MLBTR has more:
For the player, Type A status can be dangerous. If a Type A free agent is offered arbitration and declines, his new team has to give up a draft pick to sign him. The following teams would have to give up their first-round pick in 2010 if they sign a Type A free agent from another team who was offered and turned down arbitration: the Rays (#17), Mariners, Tigers, Braves, Twins, Rangers, Marlins, Giants, Cardinals, Rockies, Phillies, Dodgers, Red Sox, Angels, and Yankees. The teams not listed would have to give up their second-round pick. … Last winter's events might lead to a game of cat and mouse between players and teams this time around – teams will be less inclined to offer arbitration to their Type A free agents out of concern that those players will be more inclined to accept. If a player accepts arbitration, he's under that team's control for 2010 and the two parties will go to a hearing if they can't agree on a salary.

Pets in the City
Following the tips from their website will help to keep your pets safe and the neighbours happy.
They're safest at home.
Keeping your cat indoors, safely confined to your property or walked using a harness and leash will help keep it out of harm's way. It will also save you money; the fine if your cat is caught on private property is $100.
Licensed cats come back.
Make sure your cat wears a valid licence so that the City can contact you if we find them. They cost $20 per year for a spayed/neutered cat. It's also the law; the fine for not having a valid pet licence is $250.
Fixing them takes the heat off.
Take the heat off you and your pet by spaying or neutering them. Fixing your cat not only makes them healthier and happier; it also makes them cheaper to license.
They poop, you scoop.
Clean up after your dog to keep Edmonton healthy and attractive for everyone. It's also the law; the fine for not cleaning up after your dog is $100.
They're safest at the end of your leash.Use a leash that's no longer than 2 metres (6 feet) to keep your dog and the people around you safe. Even if they're on a leash, keep your dog 10 metres (32 feet) from playgrounds, sports fields and picnic areas. Stick to permanent trails in these areas. Keeping your dog on a leash and away from these areas will save you a $100 fine.
Off-leash, not off the hook.
Even in off-leash areas, keep your dog closely supervised and under control for their safety and the safety of others. Carry a leash that can be used if necessary. Controlling your off-leash dog will keep you from getting a $100 fine.
The City of Edmonton regulates pet ownership under the Animal Licensing and Control Bylaw.
If you rent your place and you are a pet owner, you should also check out CPLEA's 'What you need to know about renting with a pet' booklet. This booklet outlines what you and your landlord can do in terms of pets and animals, what you can do if you have a dispute with a condominium board, and where to go if you need further help or information.

EDIT#2: Yes, I'm crazy! This IS a function. Thanks for beating the correct logic into me everyone!
I'm using a website provided by my algebra textbook that has questions and answers. It has the following question:
Determine whether the following relation represents a function: $$\{(-9,-3),(2,-1),(7,7),(-1,-1)\}$$
I answered NO, it is not a function but the website says it is. Am I wrong? If so, what am I missing?
EDIT: I was given the following definition in class:
Function: A function is a rule which assigns to each X, called the domain, a unique y, called the range.
My instructor also said that if you plot the points you can tell if it is not a function if it fails the vertical line test. Here is the graph of the above points, and for example it would fail the vertical line test if I drew one on x = 1, right?
Thanks! Jason

BOSTON � While Grafton Police Chief Normand Crepeau Jr. has defended his department's handling of a state Department of Children and Families abuse report involving an infant who died eight days later, the governor and state Health and Human Services officials said Tuesday the chief's department did not follow required procedures in filing the report.
Chief Crepeau said officers responded to repeated complaints about a child crying and not only visited the home at night on April 3, finding food, diapers and a house in fair condition, but also called Emergency Medical Services to check the 4-week-old child's condition.
While the medical technicians found the baby to be fine, the chief said, out of further precaution the officers faxed a 51A abuse/neglect report to notify DCF of the running reports that the child was continually crying and the conditions they found at the home.
After the baby died April 11, however, it was learned that DCF social workers took no action on the report for six days, then classified it as a non-emergency and planned to ask a social worker to visit the next day.
State officials insisted police did not follow the requirement to provide an initial verbal report to DCF before filing the written report, but also are continuing an internal investigation to find out why DCF did not act on the report for at least six days, and then classified it as a non-emergency without responding immediately to the home.
Gov. Deval L. Patrick said Tuesday that the Grafton police "failed their obligations under law to call in a 51A" to DCF and only faxed in the report.
Health and Human Services Secretary John Polanowicz said Tuesday that state law clearly requires that all mandatory child abuse reporters � doctors, teachers and police � first give DCF a report verbally and follow that up with a written report within 48 hours.
Because of apparent confusion about that procedure, Mr. Polanowicz on Tuesday issued new forms highlighting the requirement for a verbal report, with numbers to be called, to police and other first responders across the state.
Mr. Polanowicz said Tuesday that the verbal report is "critically important" in these cases in allowing DCF to evaluate and respond to endangered children.
"If you talk to the social work staff, they believe that the phone call is critical because there is information they can glean from a call that might not make it through in a written report. There is potentially a nuance there that we are really concerned about the family, that doesn't come through in a (written report)." Mr. Polanowicz said.
Chief Crepeau acknowledged Monday that the police did not have all the information about the mother in question the night they visited the home.
That included DCF information that the mother had lost custody of one child already, who is now staying with its grandfather, and that she had a history of mental health problems and prescription drug use.
The chief acknowledged that police, had they known that information, might have handled the neighbors' calls about the crying baby differently.
Chief Crepeau said Monday he was focused on the question of why the officer did not follow up with a phone call to DCF within 48 hours of filing the written report, indicating he had a different understanding then of the two-step process outlined by state law and restated Tuesday by Mr. Polanowicz.
On Tuesday, the chief clarified his understanding of the requirement. "He should have called and that has been addressed internally," Chief Crepeau said of the officer who filed the written abuse report with DCF. He said he has issued orders to correct the procedure internally and has received the new forms.
He said it has not been unusual, "especially on the overnight" shift, for officers to fax the reports without calling. He said a so-called 24-hour DCF hot line is not manned around the clock and essentially only allows police to leave a message.
When officers have called in the past, DCF just asks them to fax the report, he said.
Concerns about DCF responding to 51A reports surfaced last year after DCF failed to act on several abuse reports involving Jeremiah Oliver of Fitchburg before the 5-year-old disappeared. Investigations found those reports were improperly "screened out" for action by DCF and were not acted upon. As a result the agency lost track of the boy whose body was found April 18 along Interstate 190 in Sterling.
Problems in DCF response to the reports also arose recently when Northbridge school officials complained the agency was not responding to 51A reports being filed in numerous urgent child abuse and neglect cases last year.
Mr. Polanowicz said Tuesday he does not believe there is a lack of confidence among mandatory reporters concerning DCF that is contributing to those reporting and response problems.
"I would not characterize it as a lack of trust," Mr. Polanowicz said. "It's not just about the department. It is about working very closely with police, hospitals and other social service agencies."
Chief Crepeau said that police did not find any apparent abuse or neglect after visiting the home and checking the child and mother.
"They didn't see it as an emergency," he said of the responding officers and they only filed the written 51A report as an extra precaution.
Mr. Polanowicz said addressing better communications with mandated responders will be the job of Erin Deveney, who was named interim DCF commissioner to replace embattled former Commissioner Olga I. Roche.
Chief Crepeau said the policy has been made clear throughout his department and the new forms are already in place. "Calls will be made every time without exception. Nothing is more important than the welfare of a child and every officer knows that," he said.

The legislature authorized alternative assessment methods to provide students with ways other than the state assessments to meet performance standards in reading, writing, mathematics, and science (RCW 28A.655.065).
The legislature asked the State Board of Education (SBE) to review and approve the guidelines, protocols, scoring criteria, and other information developed by the superintendent of public instruction regarding the collection of work samples that would become a collection of evidence that the student could compile to demonstrate that he or she has met the standards.
The legislature also asked the SBE to recommend additional alternative assessments. The SBE recommended that Advanced Placement tests and college admission tests (SAT and ACT) be considered alternative assessments.
Currently, there are three alternative assessment methods. These have become known as Certificate of Academic Achievement options:
- GPA Comparison
- Collection of Evidence
- Advanced Placement and College Admission test scores
The SBE approves the cut scores that students must attain on the collection of evidence and standardized tests (RCW 28A.305.130). The legislature sets the grade point average needed for the GPA comparison.

In 1979 Atari introduced the joys of first-person space combat with Star Raiders. Next year Star Raiders returns, bringing team-based multiplayer space combat to the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
First released for the Atari 8-bit series of computers in 1979, Star Raiders was one of the first first-person perspective space combat games, and certainly one of the most popular. Atari released the game for the 2600 system in 1982 with its own special touchpad controller, which still resides in a box somewhere in my apartment to this day.
Sexy, isn't it?
The updated version of Star Raiders, first outed by GameFly back in July, should be a pretty big step up from the original. The space warps and galactic battle maps will still be in place, but they'll be bolstered by new features like battle transformations and customizable ships.
And there'll be online multiplayer, and co-op to boot.
"Star Raiders has long been an important milestone in Atari's history as it paved the way for first person shooters and 3D games," says Jim Wilson, President of Atari. "Our new Star Raiders game updates this legendary shooter with new features, a striking visual style and co-op and multiplayer gameplay."
Star Raiders is due out in 2011 from Atari and Incinerator Studios, the developer behind several Wii and DS games based on Disney-Pixar's Cars.

2008 Elections: Telling The Truth
Was it just yesterday? Or the day before? That senile warmonger John McInsane had the big brass balls to tell Barack Obama he was going to instruct Obama about how peaceful Iraq was and how things are going so fucking well in Iraq? Let's see, here's a few pertinent spittle-fleckings:
[...] McCain added, he [Obama, Ed.] will change his position on the war because of the success the U.S. is having there. "Sen. Obama was driven to his conclusion by ideology, not by the facts on the ground," McCain said. "Success in Iraq is undeniable."The Seattle Times responds with an editorial that basically informs McInsane of what everyone else with a working brain cell already knows: the aged, cranky, nasty old Republican nominee is fuller of shit than a constipated cow. A pertinent snippet:
McCain is having a jolly time pretending he is the only candidate with enough cachet and experience to lead the U.S. on military matters, even offering to squire Obama around Iraq.Kudos to the editorial writer! More than two-thirds of the American electorate is utterly sick and tired of this bogus war. Bombing the helpless populace of a small country that has done nothing to us is nothing less than a war crime. A war crime that has, incidentally, destroyed our economy and is threatening the combined economy of the rest of the world.
McCain's posturing would be silly one-upmanship if the costs of the war in Iraq and at home were not so enormous and never-ending. McCain has the wrong position. He supports continued military involvement in Iraq. Obama, more credibly, vows to end the war and bring troops home.
Does anybody remember the last time McInsane went to Iraq? March of this year. Protected by about 100 Marines, in full body armour, with helicopter gunships overhead, McInsane was photographed (at taxpayers' expense, of course) strolling about in Baghdad, proclaiming it safe. The old geezer conveniently forgot to mention to anyone during his recent spittle-flecked rant that his army escort would not let him go to the Shorja market where he had his picture taken last year, because it was "too unsafe."
Of course, someone who can't tell Sunni from Shi'a and doesn't even know how many troops we have in Iraq is hardly the authority on the war. If only fate wasn't tempted to give the old man the smackdown every time he opens his mouth and switches feet. Pertinent snippet:
McCain's comments about Mosul being "quiet" have also been criticized. On the day he made them, 30 Iraqis were killed by suicide bombings in the Mosul area.Meanwhile, the town of Hit, near Baghdad, didn't want to be left out of the rush to smear a little egg on the erstwhile candidate's face. A suicide bomber in that town, no doubt having read or heard McLame's comments, rushed off to glory, taking ten people with him and wounding 12 others.
McLame displayed his usual tin ear on the issue:
McCain, speaking to reporters in Milwaukee, refused to acknowledge a mistake, saying that "I said we have drawn down. And we have drawn down."Gee, where have we heard that refusal to admit making a mistake before? Oh, yeah, the previous two terms of Gee Dumbya Pumpkinhead.
In an attempt to defend the senile warmonger, his advisers said the flap amounted to nothing more than "nitpicking" about "verb tenses."
"It is the essence of semantics," said a frustrated Randy Scheunemann, McCain's top foreign policy adviser, on a conference call organized by the campaign. "We're having this call about a verb tense."Wow, they sure have learned their lessons well. They're borrowing from the arsenal of Karl Rove and Bill Clinton. Next they're going to tell us what the definition of "is" is. Good work, kids! No, let's rephrase that: Heckuva Job, Johnny!
In other convincing evidence of the peacefulness of Iraq, thousands of Iraqis turned out to protest the U.S. presence. Intelligence (a quality Mr. McInsane seems dreadfully short on) officials announced today that our progress in Iraq basically sucks wet monkey ass. The scheduled elections are already getting the Sunni mad at each other. Progress! Peace! Missing Limbs! Awakening Councils!
Is there anyone in Iraq that we haven't pissed off yet? Well, maybe McInsane's definition of "progress," "success," "drawdown," and so forth are not exactly the same as Merriam-Webster's or Oxford's OED, or, let's be honest, any fucking body else's.
Tell the truth, Mr. McCain. If you remember how that's defined any more, that is. And don't forget to tell all those American servicemen being blown up in Iraq and Afghanistan why you refuse to sign Jim Webb's GI Bill that would give them better benefits than the pile of steaming crap the Bush misadministration's been trying to feed them for the past X years.

UCLA (Teacher)
STARTALK Heritage Language Teacher Workshop
Arabic, Hindi, Korean, Persian, Russian, Turkish, Spanish, Urdu, Dari, Portuguese, Swahili
- June 1, 2019 – June 23, 2019: (Online)
- June 24, 2019 – June 28, 2019: (Face-to-face)
- UCLA Royce Hall, Los Angeles, CA
Program Setting
The UCLA National Heritage Language Resource Center will offer a one-month teacher workshop that is designed to help language teachers face the challenge of teaching heritage language (HL) students. The workshop will open on June 1, 2019, with online assignments for three weeks. This will be followed by a five-day face-to-face workshop (June 24-28, 2019, at UCLA). Accepted participants will be required to complete the online assignments as well as the face-to-face workshop.
The online assignments will focus on identifying and addressing the linguistic gaps in HL students' language, differentiated teaching, and teaching mixed classes. The face-to-face workshop will focus on how to use project-based learning (PBL) as a useful tool in heritage language instruction. PBL is a learner-centered approach in which students work over an extended period of time on a task that demands engaging with complex issues, analyzing topics, solving problems, or meeting particular real-life challenges. The workshop will be designed to impart the principles and methods of PBL and the ways in which language teaching and authentic materials can be incorporated into a PBL classroom. Participants will engage in hands-on activities that involve the development, presentation, and critique of projects that can be used with HL students. We will accept 24 K-16 instructors who will spend 40 instructional hours over a week at UCLA, preceded by 30-50 hours of online work, including time spent working on assignments, and also time as needed during and after the workshop for online consultation with mentors and instructors. Participants will demonstrate an ability to apply principles of PBL by designing a Standards-based unit that is appropriate for HL learners (HLL) with differing proficiency levels and needs. They will apply knowledge gained from presentations, discussions, and exercises on HLL characteristics, differentiated instruction, standards-based instruction, project-based instruction, and backward design. This workshop aims to create a cohort of language teachers who will be leaders and mentors in the field of HL instruction. We hope that teachers who participate in the workshop will commit to re-teaching "lessons learned" at their institution or in their region when they return home.

I wish I knew some 411 on this character that is going to be appearing in a new Cartoon Network series called 'Redakai'. I can't believe that the network is able to come out with all these shows and still have time to air everything else. I guess they get ideas for shows to fill spots for other series that go through a season finale. Anyways this tutorial is going to show you "how to draw Ky", step by step and he is one of the three main figures of Redakai. He is the leader of Team Stax, I read somewhere that the show is geared toward boys that are into action packed animated series. The same guys that brought you Bakugan is responsible for this new adventure and they are Spin Master. Ky is a fifteen year old boy and his two best friends are Boomer, and Maya. The show is going to take the viewers on a journey with Ky and his friends as they search for an alien energy force called 'Kairu'. I bet it's going to be an exciting series, and just by the character design I know for a fact that there is going to be some cool effects. Anyways have fun learning "how to draw Ky from Redakai", and you can expect to see the series on Cartoon Network sometime in June. Peace people and have fun!

One in two older homeowners (48%) in the South-East have not had their house valued since they first bought it more than 18 years ago, according to new research by the Equity Release Council (the Council).
The Council says that it leaves many over-55s with far greater housing wealth than they realise, which could be used in later life to help fund a more comfortable retirement.
The Council's research shows in the South-East the average UK homeowner aged 55+ paid £113,027 for their existing home. Having lived there for an average of 18 years and two months, they now estimate it is worth £312,688.
This equates to an overall house price rise of 177%, leaving them with an extra £199,661 of equity even before mortgage repayments are accounted for. This figure alone is almost eight times the average single DC pension pot at retirement (£25,000) and more than three times the average amount used to buy an annuity (£55,750).
However, the Council's analysis suggests even this may underestimate the individual housing wealth held by over-55s. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the average house price in the South-East has risen by 237% over the last 18 years and two months.
Having originally been bought for £113,027 at the start of this period, the average property among over-55 homeowners in the South-East could therefore have a value of £381,279 today: almost £70,000 (£68,590) more than they estimate.
By examining market trends, the Council's research suggests people's tendency to misjudge their housing wealth may be linked to low awareness of how price rises have affected the property market in the region where they live.
In the South-East, even those who had their property valued since first buying it did so 4.3 years ago on average, a little less than the national average of four and a half years.
In the South-East, over-55s think house prices in their region have increased by an average of 5.8% in the last year, compared to an actual rise of 7.4% (ONS).
Comparing their estimates to reported house price rises over the last five years, the average regional house price rise of 24.1% (ONS) is more than seven percentage points higher than the 16.4% estimated by over-55s.
Asked to consider the role of pension savings and property wealth in funding later life, the Council's research suggests four in five (80%) homeowners aged 55+ would consider using housing wealth to get the most from their retirement.
Almost one in three (31%) feel the best solution is to use their pension savings before their property wealth; one in ten (10%) would prefer to use their savings and property wealth at the same time; and 9% would rely solely on property wealth or use it before their savings.
This leaves 11% who want guidance or advice on the best option for them, while 19% say they do not care which approach they take so long as it gives them the best outcome. The remaining 20% feel the best outcome for their retirement will rely solely on pension savings.
More than one in three homeowners aged 55+ (38%) think unlocking money from the value of their home is likely to benefit them financially in later life, while another 29% are unsure.
Among those who would consider using their housing wealth to help pay for retirement, downsizing is the main preference (42%). However, almost one in four (22%) would prefer to stay in their current home and use a lifetime mortgage to release some equity. The remaining 36% – more than one in three – are open to either option based on their circumstances.
Asked what concerns them about making financial decisions in retirement, almost one in four (22%) are worried about not understanding their options and missing out on something that might benefit them.
Nigel Waterson, Chairman of the Equity Release Council, commented: "It is no secret that the property market has been kind to many homeowners, but it is remarkable to see how far people underestimate the potential size of their housing wealth, which puts the average pension pot in the shade.
"At a time when savings are scarce and retirees face an uncertain financial future with the end of generous final salary pensions, these findings prove just how important it is that property wealth plays a role in financial planning for later life. They also show a large number of people are looking for help to decide how using their savings, equity release or downsizing can work best to meet their individual needs.
"It is vital the Government acts on the Treasury Select Committee's recommendation to include housing wealth within its pensions guidance service. It must also work with industry and regulators to improve access to advice, so people can consider all the options open to them in retirement and choose the one best suited to their circumstances."

Obstacles to House Republicans passing a fiscal 2019 budget resolution appear insurmountable and have some members questioning why the Budget Committee is even planning to write one.
Exactly half of the 22 Republicans on the Budget panel — more than enough to block a partisan budget resolution — voted against last week's budget deal that set fiscal 2019 topline spending levels of $647 billion for defense and $597 billion for nondefense. Under the agreement, House and Senate leaders committed to those topline numbers if their chambers decide to advance fiscal 2019 budget resolutions.

Netflix revives 'The Killing' for final 6 episodes
LOS ANGELES >> Netflix says it is reviving "The Killing" after its cancellation by AMC.
A fourth and final season will be available to Netflix subscribers, the streaming service said Friday. Six episodes are planned to give the crime drama a "proper send-off," Netflix executive Cindy Holland said in a statement.
Stars Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman will return to the crime drama for its conclusion, producer Fox Television Studios said.
"The Killing," based on a Danish series and developed by Veena Sud, has had a rocky history. AMC canceled it after a second-year ratings slump, reversed its decision and then axed it again after the third season aired in the summer.
Netflix said the final six episodes of "The Killing" will be available for instant viewing but didn't announce the release date.

With help from a NASA astronaut, Space Mountain opened in January 1975 at Magic Kingdom park. The idea originated with Walt Disney in the 1960s, but the technology did not exist to bring his vision to life.
Later, when the attraction was given the green light, Mercury 9 and Gemini 5 astronaut Gordon Cooper joined the Space Mountain creative team as a consultant. He wanted to make sure that the attraction incorporated information gleaned during NASA's early space missions and that the experience felt like actual space flight. His valuable input has made Space Mountain a favorite for over 35 years.
Today, Space Mountain exists at every Disney Resort around the world.

James Gray has known for a while this day was coming.
His son, Johnathan, one of the nation's top football recruits last fall, would pull on a Texas uniform and go play for the Longhorns against Texas Tech, the school for which James starred in the 1980s.
When that day comes, what's a father to wear?
"I'm 150 percent Red Raider," James Gray said Wednesday, three days before the Tech-Texas game at Jones AT&T Stadium. "Now, I may have a little pin on that says Longhorns. Trust me, you won't be able to see it. I'll have on my Red Raider gear.
"That's the agreement. This is the one time on game day I actually get a chance to wear Texas Tech."
That shouldn't be interpreted as James Gray loving his son any less. During Johnathan's recruitment, his father told him to pick the place he liked the best and thought he'd fit in. James and his wife, Tonya, would back their son completely, following wherever he went.
"We wouldn't miss a game," James Gray said. "This is the ride of a lifetime to follow your son around, watch him progress into manhood and get a chance to go off to college and play the game he loves."
UT coaches added another angle this week: Johnathan Gray, a 5-foot-11, 207-pound freshman, was promoted to No. 1 running back, just in time for the Tech-Texas game.
"Man, I tell you, that's just one more thing to make me nervous," James Gray said. "It's almost like a setup, you know? As if I didn't have enough to concern myself with."
Malcolm Brown, the Longhorns' top returning rusher from 2011, has been slowed for a month by an ankle injury. Gray posted his first career 100-yard game - 111 yards - last week at Kansas.
Time to see what the heralded freshman can do.
"It's great," he said. "My team is counting on me. I'm ready to execute, be what they want me to be, come through."
Given the younger Gray's record-setting career at Aledo High School, his becoming a focal point was bound to happen, and more likely sooner than later. Gray set a national schoolboy record with 205 career touchdowns, ranks second all-time in 100-yard games (51) and single-season touchdowns (70) and finished third in career rushing yards (10,908).
He was 10 times the recruit his father was. But James Gray set a high standard for his son to match in college.
Gray, a second-team All-America running back in 1989, still holds the Tech record for career rushing touchdowns with 52 and is second in career rushing with 4,066 yards. On Gray's last night in scarlet and black, he ran for 280 yards against Steve Spurrier's Duke Blue Devils in the All American Bowl, and for years that was the NCAA record for rushing yards in a bowl game.
Johnathan Gray is just getting started.
Sophomore Joe Bergeron is the Longhorns' leading rusher 450 yards and 15 touchdowns on 99 carries. Gray is close behind with 81 carries for 427 yards and a touchdown.
"It's kind of ironic," James Gray said, "but the great thing about it is, just like his freshman year in high school, he seems to get better and better as the games are going on. I guess that's a good sign. I didn't expect for him to be playing this much this soon as a freshman in college."
Going into the season, Gray figured to be part of a three-pronged rushing attack with Brown and Bergeron. Brown's injury opened the door to more playing time for someone.
"That kind of sped the process up," James Gray said. "The great thing about it is he was prepared, and the coaches had him prepared. That really says a lot for what they're doing."
Longhorns coach Mack Brown said Gray's maturity stands out. That, and he's showing all-around skills.
"He's very mature, very tough," Brown said. "He's got good ball security. He can catch. He's learning his pass protections better. That allows him to play even more."
James Gray said he stays in touch with several of his former Texas Tech teammates, among them center Len Wright, fullback Clifton Winston, guard Mike McBride and linebacker Joe McBride.
"They kind of give me a hard time about how I let a Red Raider become a Longhorn," Gray said, "but they're kind of like me. They're excited for him."

Aperture is pleased to release this special limited-edition photograph by David Levinthal from his well known series Wild West. Levinthal's Wild West series was first published in Issue 108 of Aperture Magazine in 1988. A central figure in the history of American postmodern photography, Levinthal stages uncanny tableaux using children's toys, models, dolls, and play sets. Wild West (1987–2012), perhaps the artist's best-known body of work, explores the American frontier and the Indian Wars, filtered through the nostalgic mythologizing of Hollywood westerns and late-twentieth-century advertising.
David Levinthal (born in San Francisco, 1949) received an MFA in photography at Yale University in 1973. His photography explores themes such as sexuality and voyeurism, race and religion, and beauty and war through imaginative fabrications that animate human likenesses and their environments. The winner of numerous awards, including a 1995 Guggenheim Fellowship, Levinthal's photographs are included in many important collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Metropolitan Museum of Art and Museum of Modern Art in New York; and Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Bowden + Sheffield Minimalist iPad cases are beautifully functional
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Apple, Design, Hot Deals,
We know that it's hard to find variety when looking for a great iPad case. Our main problem with the cases is that we want something that adds a level of form and function while also offering protection, but we don't want something that hard to take the iPad out of, because we don't want to use an iPad that's stuck in a bulky case. Up until now, there's been no way for us to have our cake and eat it too, but that's set to change with the success of the Bowden + Sheffield Minimalist iPad Cases Kickstarter project. While the project wraps up in 16 more hours as of this writing, it's surpassed its $20,000 goal. What makes this case so good? Well, for starters, both cases look fantastic. The case designs are similar, with the difference lying in the materials.

Front and rear cover of Sportscar racing in the South: From Texas to Florida
Price: USD $125, GBP 80
Estimated availability: the end of April
Available from: www.daltonwatson.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks to publishing house Dalton Watson, another persistent black hole in motor racing history will soon be filled: sports car racing in the southern states of the U.S.
The first of a planned series of three books, Sports Car Racing in the South, from Texas to Florida, will cover the years 1957 and 1958, when competition began to surge in that part of the country.
Author Willem Oosthoek offers detailed coverage of 52 events hosted from Texas [Fort Worth, Galveston Island, Hondo, Midland and Lubbock] to Florida [New Smyrna Beach, Cocoa-Titusville, Fort Pierce, Boca Raton, Opa Locka, Sebring, Venice and Dunnellon], plus everything held in between: Oklahoma [Stillwater and Oklahoma City], Louisiana [Mansfield and Hammond], Alabama [Courtland and Dothan], Georgia [Gainesville and St. Simons Island] and South Carolina [Chester and Walterboro]. Since many execs of the SCCA's Rio Grande Region resided in Texas, the Fort Sumner events in New Mexico are included as well.
The book contains 265 pages and 450-plus photos. The majority of the images were taken by Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Bob Jackson. The private photo collections of race participants such as Bob Schroeder, Ed Rahal, Bill Kimberly, Lonnie Rix, Roy Schechter, E.D. Martin, Bill Janowski, Richard Macon, Lucky Casner, Joe Sheppard and Nedra Ware were major assets for those events not covered by Bob Jackson.
