Title: Texas Likely to Appeal Bilingual Education Ruling
Body: From http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/072908dnmetbilingualed.42633b4.html Texas likely to appeal bilingual education ruling By TERRENCE STUTZ and KATHERINE LEAL UNMUTH July 29, 2008 Texas will probably appeal a court ruling mandating a new language program for an estimated 140,000 junior high and high school students who don't have command of the English language, state officials said Monday. The chairmen of the House and Senate education committees said lawmakers were already zeroing in on the problems of limited-English students – including low test scores and high dropout rates – before U.S. District Judge William Wayne Justice ruled Friday that the state has failed to properly educate those students. In issuing the surprise decision, the longtime federal judge reversed his own July 2007 ruling that affirmed the state's bilingual education programs. His new order gives the state until Jan. 31 to come up with a different plan.

Title: Article: Chinese Americans Find Cultural Connection in Olympic Games
Body: From http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/07/29/ST2008072900840.html Looking to Beijing, With Pride Chinese Americans Find Cultural Connection in Games By N.C. Aizenman July 29, 2008 When the first bars of the Olympics theme are broadcast from Beijing's National Stadium to television screens across the United States this August, perhaps no one will cheer more ecstatically than the nation's estimated 1.4 million mainland Chinese immigrants. Like their countrymen back in China, many immigrants consider the Olympics a sort of national coming-out party -- the ultimate recognition of China's long transformation from "sick man of Asia" to economic powerhouse and world player. Many Chinese Americans say they are just as thrilled by the opportunity the Olympics will offer to introduce their U.S.-raised children to Chinese culture in a modern, appealing light.
