At the Council of Trent (1545-1563), as a counter to the Reformation, guidelines were given for the consolidation of the Roman Catholic Church. Almost immediately the Church began intensive educational work in Croatia. Rome became a center for printing books in the Glagolitic, Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. Glagolitic, although it had strong roots in some areas, began to lose its predominance. The future of Croatian letters would belong to the Latin alphabet or to western Cyrillic.
The Croats at this time were under the rule of three different powers: the Turks, Habsburgs and Venetians, with constant bloodshed on the bounderies between them. Conditions were catastrophically unfavorable for any intellectual advances. However, a national revival based on the Croatian language began in the Baroque period in those towns that remained under Christian rule.
Grammars and dictionaries show this very clearly. Modern Europe became aware of Croatia at this time, against all odds, and against the wishes and expectations of the great powers. Croatian writers in the 17th century wanted to abolish the borders and to reach across to their countrymen so close, yet so cruelly out of reach. The urge to break all boundaries is the characteristic of Croatian baroque culture. The Catholic Rennaisance provided an impetus to the deepest felt national needs for development and it soon outgrew the intial intentions of the Church.
The literary language was enlivened by the coloring of several dialectal variants, čakavian, kajkavian and štokavian, but there was a commom aim to gradually eliminate differences. Croatian writers strived to attain some kind of linguistic standardization. Mutual influences interwove in such a way that it became obvious during the Baroque period that the štokavian dialect would eventually prevail in the Croatian language
The Baška Stone contains an inscription from about 1100 affirming a land donation made by the Croatian king Zvonimir to the parish of St. Lucia on the island of Krk. The Baška Stone, discovered in 1851, was standing as a part of the altar partition in the Church of St. Lucia in Jurandvore near Baška. Although not the oldest saved Croatian Glagolitic text, it is the first large text written in a Croatian national language with a few elements of Church Slavonic. The legal text contains elements of clear literary qualities. Because of these stylistic qualities the Baška Stone is considered a symbol of the beginnings of Croatian literature.
The Beinecke Glagolitic Fragment is a bifolium containing a fragment of a Croatian missal of the late fourteenth or early fifteenth century. The writing is angular Glagolitic with features of the Croatian recension of Church Slavonic. Folio 1, columns a and part of b, contain the reading of the Vigil of All Saints (Revelation 5.6-12)
Faust Vrančić's dictionary is not the oldest Croatian lexicographical
work, but it is important because for the first time Croatian lexicography
was presented to the wider European community. There are more than 5000
words in Vrančić's dictionary. The Croatian (Dalmatian) is based on
the čakavian dialect of his native Šibenik, which he considers to be
the most beautiful among the Slavic languages. In this way "Dalmatian"
found itself next to Latin, Italian, German and Hungarian—the five most
noble European languages. At the end of the dictionary there are several
addenda: "Vocabularia Dalmatica quae Ungari sibi usurparunt," and "Institutio
Christiana" containing the Ten Commandments, Credo, Our Father and Hail
Mary presented in five languages.
Dictionarivm qvinqve nobilissimarvm Evropæ lingvarvm, latinæ, italicæ, germanicæ, dalmatiæ, & vngaricæ (Venetiis: Apud Nicolaum Morettum, 1595)
In 1604 Bartol Kašić (also Bartul Kašić, Bartholomaeus Cassius, Bartolomeo Cassio) of Pag published in Rome the first Croatian grammar. At the time he was a student at the Rome Society of Jesus and was alloted this task when the Order decided to extend their activity to the Western Balkans. Kašić had no model for his work but he carried it out very well, and made the first steps in defining Croatian linguistic standards. He was strongly influenced by his native čakavian dialect which he regarded as being best suited as a literary form for Croatian. However he remained open-minded towards štokavian. In his later works, particularly in «Rimski ritual», Rome, 1640, he took on more elements of the štokavian dialect, which makes him one of the first figures of štokavian standardization.
Belostenec's great Latin-Croatian, Croatian-Latin dictionary Gazophylacium was not printed until 1740, sixty-five years after the author's death. After its publication, many Croatian writers used the dictionary: from Tito Brezovački right down to Miroslav Krleža in the 20th century. Belostenec was inspired by the idea of a single language for all Croats. His approach differed from that of the "Illyrians" because he argued that the three dialects of the Croatian language čakavian, štokavian and kajkavian should be fused into one language. Although the idea of fusing the three dialects was not accepted later, it was a real possibility during the 17th century. His conception was based on the practice of dialectical interweaving as practiced by the writers of the so-called Ozalj circle, of which Belostenec was a member.
Habdelić's dictionary with 12,000 words was intended for schools. The author of this pioneering work did not really have sufficient lexicographic knowledge, but his baroque literary gifts shine through every entry. Thus this sober and strict Jesuit in his school dictionary listed forty different kinds of wine: wine of Muscat grapes and Malvasia, wine that gave you headache or made you limp, wine sour and difficult to drink, sweet like grape juice, fragrant and spiced.
The 1st ed. of this dictionary was published in 1728 in Venice. A native of Foggia, Italy, Della Bella served as a rector in the Dubrovnik Jesuit College (1696-1702). He was a Jesuit priest in Dubrovnik and Dalmatia until his death in Split in 1737. He preached and did his missionary duties in Croatian. Della Bella was asked to compile a dictionary for the needs of the Jesuit missionaries sent by Rome to the Croatian lands. Della Bella's dictionary is one of the best old dictionaries of the Croatian language. A true lexicographer, he based his work on printed and manuscript works of Croatian literature as well as examples from the spoken language and folk literature. He included in his dictionary instructions for reading, writing and the pronunciation of Croatian words along with a short grammar of Croatian language.
Joakim Stulli, a Franciscan priest from Dubrovnik, worked diligently and patiently on his dictionary for over half a century. The first two parts of his large trilingual dictionary (in 3 v. and 6 pts.) were published in Buda in 1801 and were partly funded by the Austrian Court. After the loss of Dubrovnik's independence in 1806, he published two further volumes there with the financial help of "Duc de Raguse," Napoleon's marshal Marmont in 1806 and 1810. Stulli derived his material for the dictionary from common people's language, which he heard on his many travels, as well as from published and unpublished works, from the texts of old authors and from existing dictionaries. The second volume, "Rjecsosloxje," is a triumph of early Croatian lexicography. It contains 80,000 lexical units illustrated with numerous citations, proverbs, phrases and sayings. Stulli's dictionary, with the richness of its vocabulary and its formal, systematic analysis, surpassed all earlier lexicographic works in the Croatian lands and became the basis for later Croatian and Serbian lexicographers and authors.
During the reign of Maria Theresa (1740-1780) and her son Joseph II (1780-1790), the Enlightenment became the official cultural policy of the Habsburg government. It also flourished in the regions under Venetian rule.
The bourgeois revolution that grew out of the spirit of Enlightenment came to Croatia late and indirectly with the arrival of Napoleon's troops (1809-1813). The old order had been disrupted and a powerful impetus was provided for new kinds of writing. It was at this time that pamphlets, proclamations and newspapers first began to be published. The educational policy of the new French protectorate of Illyria provided a firmer basis for writers and literature. Unfortunately this period lasted only for a short time. The Habsburg restoration gathered all Croats under the Austrian crown with the exception of the Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina who were still under the Sultan.
The embers from the revolution and Napoleon's time were not fully extinguished. The north-western parts of the country had a homogenous cultural background and were in direct contact with central European civilization. In this region the Croatian language began to crystalize around the kajkavian dialect, still used by only a minority of the Croatian people. The literary language of most Croats was štokavian. Moreover, štokavian was a linguistic link with the great Croatian literature of the past which kajkavians in the north felt was also part of their heritage. The times were auspicious for the Croatian National Revival of the mid-nineteenth century.
Reprint of the newspaper published from 1835 to 1849. It was the first newspaper of the Croat cultural movement called the Illyrian Revival, a program for South Slavic cultural and political unity.
This great dictionary of the Croatian and Serbian languages is the most important publication of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts. It contains a treasury of words from the first beginnings of the two languages up to the modern era. Work on this monumental achievement of Slavic lexicography started in 1867. The first volume was published in 1880 and the last one in 1976. It contains 22,080 folio pages. The dictionary's first editor was Ðuro Daničić, a great Serbian philologist, followed by Matija Valjavec, Petar Budmani, Tomo Maretić, Stjepan Musulin and Slavko Pavešić. The dictionary created a firm basis for philological work. It codified the Croatian and Serbian languages and was influential in the development of Croatian and Serbian literatures.
Željko Bujas, 1928-1999, a Professor of English and American Studies at the University of Zagreb, compiled and defined words for his renowned Croatian-English and English-Croatian dictionaries during most of his life. These two great dictionaries represent the peak of contemporary Croatian and South Slavic lexicography.

CHICAGO — Although coach Lovie Smith said quarterback Jay Cutler is feeling "a lot better" after suffering a concussion against the Texans, the Bears coach declined to speculate on Cutler's status for Monday night's matchup versus the 49ers.
But Smith said the team would proceed with caution considering Cutler's concussion history. Cutler suffered a concussion during an October 2010 loss to the Giants and missed one game. He also had at least one concussion in college at Vanderbilt and at least one while a member of the Broncos.
"We'll never put a guy at risk," Smith said. "No game is that important for us. Of course the players have always come first with everything that we do."
Cutler must be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play Monday night. A player typically goes to see a neurologist if he is asymptomatic and has cleared the return-to-play protocol (neuropsychological test, running activities, symptom-free in daily living) or if he continues to have symptoms lasting beyond 14 to 17 days. If such symptoms persist, an MRI usually follows.
Smith said the team believes Cutler suffered the concussion when he was hit by Texans linebacker Tim Dobbins with 2 minutes, 56 seconds left in the first half. Dobbins was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the play. Team physician Mark Bowen dashed onto the field to check on Cutler, but Cutler, who adjusted his head several times, remained in the game for seven more snaps.
On the play immediately following Dobbins' hit, Cutler scrambled for 11 yards and appeared to take another shot from Texans defensive back Kareem Jackson before his headfirst dive.
Smith maintained Cutler showed no immediate concussion symptoms following the initial sideline examination.
"And if you look at his play, it's not like he was light on his feet, starry-eyed or anything like that," Smith said. "We felt like he was in control of everything … at the time."
The NFL determined the Bears followed the proper protocol, league spokesman Greg Aiello said. Smith said he believes the Bears go beyond protocol when it comes to injuries, particularly concussions.
"If we err (on either side), it would be as far as keeping players out longer," Smith said. "We do have a history with players. We have a history with Jay, Hunter Hillenmeyer.
"But it's not just a concussion. We do that with all of our players with any injury that they have."
Smith was asked how likely Cutler's return would have been Sunday night had the new concussion guidelines not been instituted.
"If a player has a concussion … he's not going back in the game," Smith said. "It's as simple as that. Once we found out that Jay Cutler (and) Shea McClellin had a concussion, first, our protocol would say that they're out of the football game."
The Bears return to practice Thursday, and Smith said it would be best to have the starter determined sooner than later in order to prepare for the 49ers. If Cutler's symptoms linger, he is unlikely to even make the trip to San Francisco. Prolonged flying time can exacerbate concussion symptoms and recovery time.
Jason Campbell, who played in Northern California last season with the Raiders, would prepare for his 71st career start if Cutler is ruled out. Campbell completed 11 of 19 passes for 94 yards in the second half in wet conditions against the Texans.
Smith didn't exactly give Campbell's performance a stamp of approval, but the coach called his backup a "pro" who has looked good in practice against the first-team defense. Cutler's season-ending thumb surgery last year and the disaster that followed is the reason the Bears signed the eight-year veteran Campbell.
"If Jay can't go … Jason will be ready to go," Smith said.
The Bears also are in the process of re-signing veteran Josh McCown for insurance. McCown was scheduled to land in Chicago on Monday night.

he absolute worst person from each state is what it is advertised as. Soapy Smith is the representative for the state of Alaska, on the worst map on Mandatory.com. I've heard others add their opinions of far worse human beings that could/should have been chosen, but if they had, you wouldn't be looking at this post right now.
Matt Shirley.
Matt Shirley, creator of the map, writes, "Ever wondered who the biggest asshole from your state is? We've got you covered! And we aren't talking about the Shia LaBeoufs and Paris Hiltons of the world... Much, much worse than that."
Warren Yeager disagrees.
Then there is Brittney Thomas.
Warren Yeager disagrees.
Was Soapy really the "Worst Person"? I mean, he was a scoundrel, bunko artist, con man and grifter, but seriously, haven't there been more despicable individuals? Always glad for some Soapy props, but, worst person?.....dubious at best...
Then there is Brittney Thomas.
He beat out that serial killer near Anchorage who would take the women by bush plane out to his remote cabin and brutally rape and torture them, and then let them loose naked and blindfolded before tracking them and hunting them down with a knife or rifle. So this list is probably a little off.
"Soapy" Smith is not a dangerous man, and not a desperado. He will fight to very good purpose if he must, but he is not in the least quarrelsome. Cool in the presence of danger, absolutely fearless, honorable in the discharge of those obligations which he recognizes, generous with his money, and ever ready with a helping hand for a man or woman in distress, he bitterly resents the imputation that he is a thief or vagrant.

John Mackey is the co-CEO of Whole Foods Market, its founder, and a self-proclaimed independent libertarian. Mackey has also recently authored a book, "Conscious Capitalism." While he speaks in platitudes about corporations acting as conscientious citizens of the world, Mackey's actions as CEO of a major corporation betray his real motivation.
Mackey was forced to back pedal from his comments on the Patient Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"):
Technically speaking, it's more like fascism. Socialism is where the government owns the means of production. In fascism, the government doesn't own the means of production, but they do control it — and that's what's happening with our health care programs and these reforms.
Mackey is dead wrong on the government-corporate relationship under fascism. Italian historian and fascism authority Emilio Gentile gives the authoritative description:
Corporative organization of the economy that suppresses trade union liberty, broadens the sphere of state intervention, and seeks to achieve, by principles of technocracy and solidarity, the collaboration of the 'productive sectors' under control of the regime, to achieve its goals of power, yet preserving private property and class divisions. (Payne, Stanley G (A History of Fascism, 1914-1945). University of Wisconsin Press. pp. 5–6)
More importantly, it is time to call Mackey's vision of capitalism (and Whole Foods Market) what it is, and this writer does not use this term loosely. "Corporate fascism" is an accurate and apt description of the Mackey philosophy. Consider Gentile's definition. above, in light of Mackey's actions and writings.
Mackey is a staunch proponent of a corporate-centric economy, with no government or regulatory intervention. Both Whole Foods Market and Mackey are anti-union, anti-worker's rights. The Mackey philosophy would see a collaborative corporate control over the means of production, to achieve its own goals of power through corporate solidarity (WMC, US Chamber of Commerce, etc.). Preservation of private property and class division are a necessity for the Mackey vision, as there can be no cheap labor production without class division. Ironically, Mackey is a proponent of the expansion of state intervention, as long as it is on behalf of corporate welfare expansion. There is plenty of proof to support this assertion…
On November 16, 2011, Mackey penned an op-ed by invitation in the Wall Street Journal, titled "To Increase Jobs, Increase Economic Freedom." In a response to Mackey's article written on February 1, 2012, Badger Democracy addressed the fundamental arguments in the op-ed:
1. Cut the size and cost of government – 100 years ago, government spending was 8% of GDP; today it is 40% of GDP. This additional money spent by the government could be used to "create jobs."
2. Cuts should be made in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Defense – many of these services could be privatized, using the "success" of Chile and Singapore as models.
3. Stimulate the economy by cutting taxes and regulations – Mackey explains that cutting taxes would "increase revenue… as entrepreneurs create new businesses and new jobs and as people earn more money."
In his own op-ed, Mackey supports further provisions which would continue the US economy down a dangerous path. Greater corporate consolidation of power, greater consolidation of wealth, greater class inequity, and greater corporate influence on policy which would regulate said power.
The dagger in Mackey's theory is a recent report in the conservative-leaning Financial Times, also reported in the New York Times. The article cites a steady decline in earned wages and a steady rise in investor income through profit and interest:
"58%…is the share of US national income that goes to workers as wages rather than to investors as profits and interest. It has fallen to its lowest level since records began after the second world war and is part of the reason why incomes at the top – which tend to be earned from capital – have risen so much. If wages were at their postwar average share of 63 per cent, workers would earn an extra $740 billion this year, about $5,000 per worker, according to FT calculations."
More power and wealth for the corporate fascists, with less taxes and accountability means more money to influence and drive politics and policy:
Corporate Taxes Paid by US Corporations, 1950-2010
(Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis analysis)
Cheap labor production is possible due to the expansion of the wealth gap and class disparities:
John Mackey's Whole Foods Market has also forced employees to "vote" to cut their own wages and benefits. Wages have been cut due to reduction in hours, and employees will be forced to contribute more in spite of enormous corporate growth:
In 2007, WFM profits (after taxes and expenses) totaled $182.7 million. Four years later, in 2011, profits totaled $342.6 million – nearly double in 4 years. For the first sixteen weeks of 2011, total profits were $88.7 million; for the same period in 2012, profits totaled $118.3 million. Store expenses have decreased by 38 points in 2011, including 28 points due to wage cuts. In real numbers, most stores have executed 3% cuts in labor over the past fiscal year, resulting in most employees seeing a 5-8% cut in wages (due to hours being cut).
Of course, Mackey built Whole Foods with his own two hands, with no government help (sarcasm)…therefore, government should stay out of his business. This is the great lie of corporate fascism. Mackey and his ilk want the government to work for them. The doctrine of so-called "corporate conscious" follows in the words of Gentile:
…broadens the sphere of state intervention, and seeks to achieve, by principles of technocracy and solidarity, the collaboration of the 'productive sectors' under control of the regime, to achieve its goals of power.
The corporate fascists would have us believe the great lie of their own self-determination and success, that personal strength and sacrifice alone built their empires. Mackey is as guilty of this as any of them. Whole Foods is a prolific recipient of government intervention and welfare on its own behalf.
In 2011, an $8 million tax break for a new Washington DC Whole Foods development raised questions of return on public investment and why public money was even needed:
And why does this project require a special subsidy to move forward in the first place? This Whole Foods already would qualify for a set of tax incentives for grocery store development, including a 10–year property tax break on the store itself. Moreover, while some projects near Nationals Park have languished in the recession, this area is likely to be part of the emerging rebound, thanks in part to prior public investment by the District. Finally, if a Whole Foods will revitalize this neighborhood as it did in Logan Circle, why won't private market interests step up to make it happen?
In the same year, Whole Foods received $4.2 million in tax subsidies to open a Detroit area store, uncovered only by FOIA requests:
The documents, obtained by the Chaldean News under the Freedom of Information Act and provided toCrain's, show that Whole Foods is asking for $4.2 million in city, state and federal incentives to open a store in downtown Detroit.
According to the exchanges, the 21,000-square-foot project is expected to get $1.5 million in local and community foundation funds, $1.2 million in federal tax credits under the New Market program and $1.5 million in state incentives.
Michael Sarafa, president of the Bank of Michigan and co-publisher of The Chaldean News, questions the use of incentives to lure a national grocery chain to Detroit. He said there are 83 independently-owned grocers in the city, many of them owned by Chaldeans, who did not receive incentives.
Controversial "TIF" funds are being used for construction of a Whole Foods-anchored development in St. Louis, hardly in a blighted area.
The new Whole Foods development in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago is being partially funded by an $11.3 million "TIF" in an already well-developed area.
Mackey is now on the record confirming that Whole Foods will begin eliminating full-time employees as a result of "Obamacare" being fully enacted. This in an interview with Greta Van Susteren:
…there will be a strong temptation for businesses to keep people under 30 hours, so they don't have to provide health care. And you will have a lot of part-time workers and fewer full-time workers, a lot of people underemployed.
Whole Foods prided itself, we've always had a higher mix of full-time to part-time workers like 80 percent full-time and 20 percent part-time, which is very rare in retail. But as I suspect as our health care costs are driven up by health care reforms then we'll end up gradually lower our full-time ratio to a much lower number.
There is no fiscal truth to this statement. As proven in Whole Foods' own financial statements and a previous Badger Democracy blog, the company's health care costs per employee are actually lower than they were before "Obamacare's" passage. The reason for Whole Foods' higher total costs is simple – the company is growing. With government and public help.
It is time to take the lipstick off the pig. The philosophy of John Mackey should be called what it is. Corporate freedom, rights, and independence over all – even the individual. No worker's rights, no government regulation or intervention EXCEPT on behalf of the corporation and its own interests. In short…corporate fascism.
And Mackey calling "Obamacare" fascism? Pure projection.

preschool day lunch bento
On the left is a half sandwich and Goldfish crackers.
On the right is a dish of small purple grapes, cheddar cheese pieces and a piece of apple with a heart shape cut from the peel.
I'm MUCH happier with how this apple turned out than the last one I posted. Whew. A bit of redemption there! :) This is a pink lady apple. I'm not really taken by the taste or crunch-factor of them, but they don't brown! Cool, huh? To make the heart I used a tiny cookie cutter with a sharp edge, gently pressed it through the peel, and then using a paring knife I cut away the peel. Cute!

The apple is the cutest! I found you by way of Food For The Boys and am SO glad I did! Do the Sassy boxes leak when traveling? I'm trying to plan ahead for what my guy can take when he starts full day pre-school that won't get everything all "yucked up" if he tips it at all (which he wil).

Thanks Susan B. and bentobird! :)
Planet Pink - that's great to know! I haven't seen them there, actually I don't think I've ever seen any Sassy feeding items there (like baby spoons and whatnot) but maybe they will be a new item. I'll be keeping an eye peeled for sure.
Greetings Karen! I'm glad you found me too! :)
I haven't had an issue with the Sassy box leaking. However, my daughter's lunchbox allows her bento boxes to sit flat, not up on the side - so that might help. But the inner box lids are very tight fitting. I don't think any heavy liquids, like yogurt or cottage cheese woud leak, but things like juice from canned fruit or watery applesauce might. The Sassy box is dishwasher safe, but if you plan to use the inner boxes for potentially-leaky things I would recomment you don't put the inner pieces in the dishwasher. My inner dishes have warped ever so slightly from that and the lids do not fit as tightly as they once did. It's not a big deal for me since I don't use the inner boxes that often, or when I do it's just to make sure things like grapes don't jump out of their proper spot. :)

Intellectual Property Administration
The pursuit of scientific discovery through research is critical to furthering the economic development mission of the University of Missouri. The Office of Intellectual Property Administration (OIPA) supports the economic development mission by encouraging broad practical application of university research for the public benefit; assisting those associated with the technology transfer program with evaluating, protecting, licensing and commercializing university discoveries; and carrying out new economic development initiatives designed to create jobs in Missouri.
Reporting directly to the UM System Vice President for Research and Economic Development, the Office of Intellectual Property Administration serves as the System component of the university's technology transfer program. OIPA establishes System-wide policies and procedures, develops standard forms and agreements, and supports the campus technology transfer offices (TTO) through the following activities:
- Funding for patent applications
- In-house provisional patent application preparation and filing
- Market analyses of university intellectual property
- Data management
- Policy analysis and development
- Administrative support
OIPA is also an advisor to the EVPAA and campus TTOs on issues related to intellectual property management and University intellectual property policies and procedures.
While OIPA is the System component of the university's technology transfer operation, each campus of the University of Missouri has an independent office that serves as the focal point for entrepreneurship, economic development and technology transfer in their local area. Each campus office is responsible for invention disclosure management, licensing, and business development on their respective campus.

Main Street is a nationwide program designed to enhance downtown business districts by improving economic management, strengthening public participation, and making downtowns a fun place to visit.
Click here to download a pdf map showing the many Main Street communities across Ohio.
By building on the inherent assets already located in the downtown - rich architecture, personal service, traditional values and most of all, a sense of place. The Main Street Program uses a four point approach to achieve results through the creation of four committees:
These committees are the backbone of the Main Street Program as they engage downtown merchants, civic groups, and community volunteers to participate in everything from planning to project implementation.
From its rich history, diverse heritage & traditional values Nelsonville epitomizes the type of community to be used as a model for Main Street. Nelsonville's commitment to enriching its historical assets and celebrating its heritage by encouraging people to appreciate our local historic resources has allowed us to strengthen our regional identity and local pride while attracting visitors from around the country.
As a Main Street community, Nelsonville will be joining a coast-to-coast movement led by the National Main Street Center involving more than 1,000 community programs across the country. Together, these programs have produced an investment in downtown districts of more than $5 billion and spurred the rehabilitation of countless historic structures.
The mission of Nelsonville Main Street, Inc. is to utilize partnerships in order to revitalize downtown Nelsonville, preserve the historic character of the community, and improve the quality of life for all.
The Nelsonville Main Street Association envisions a historic downtown business district that is alive, inviting and thriving while retaining its friendly hometown charm. We want a downtown that the entire community can feel proud of and enthusiastically share with family and visitors
The Main Street Program uses a four point approach to achieve results through the creation of four central committees. These committees are the backbone of the Main Street Program as they engage downtown merchants, civic groups, and community volunteers to participate in everything from planning to project implementation.
The City of Nelsonville is located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Southeastern Ohio. It was settled in 1814 and incorporated in 1838 with Charles Cable elected as its first mayor. The town grew into a regional mining center with the completion of the Columbus and Hocking Valley Railroad in 1869. In the early 1900s more tons of coal were shipped from its mines by railroad and canal than from any other city in the country.
With a current population of approximately 5,200 people, the city has struggled to rebuild its economy after the downturn of the coal mining industry and other extractive industries such as timber during the 1930-40's. Despite economic hardships, the people of Nelsonville have worked hard to preserve their community and the amazing assets that lie within its borders. Over the course of the 70-80's there were a series of investments in the community including the restoration of the Stuart's Opera House, construction of new public facilities, and private and public improvement projects. Nelsonville changed to a City Charter form of government in 1995.
How can you help?
Main Street is based on widespread community support and your opinion counts! Individuals can become involved by volunteering their time on one of the four committees. Expectations for a committee member include:

Every time I see a news story about movie theaters in a newspaper, it resurrects memories. Small town theaters in particular evoke tales of yesteryear.
For a period of time, the theater business was a sideline and a source of income in those younger years when I tried to blend love, marriage, a career and a desperate need for enough money to support the mix.
While newspapering has always been a seven-daya week undertaking, that brief venture into theaterdom added seven nights a week to the schedule.
Thankfully, I was not in the drive-in theater segment, but the current state of the movie theater business in general, small towns in particular, rouses my interest in seeing how those in the business are managing to survive.
When I was a teenager in Teague, there was a period of time when we had two "walk-in" theaters, but that didn't last long. Ultimately, the survivor bit the dust in a business that came to be dominated by film distribution companies. They dictate terms for all films and first run films are priced so small town theaters can't afford to schedule them.
Drive-in theaters are experiencing even harder times and have dwindled to less than a score — 16 to be exact — in all of Texas, according to a list on Pinball Rebel.com.
I noted that one of the dozen and a quarter Lone Star state drive-in theaters was an "adult only" establishment (in El Paso). When I was a young man working and going to night school in Houston, the route (daytime) to and from my job always took me by the Red Bluff Drive-In Theater in Pasadena, which ultimately changed to an adult-only fare. I often wondered how many wrecks occurred on that highway as some doofusses rubbernecked at the bare carcasses on that huge drive-in screen.
Many of drive-in theaters not only have the movie of the day (or week), but their snack bar has become a bona fide entertainment center as well. Some are equipped with pool tables and any number of electronic games.
There was a drive-in theater in neighboring Fairfield, just eight miles away from Teague, when I was a youngster in the dating mode. To many, it was known as the "Passion Pit." But, this being a family newspaper, we won't delve too far into that aspect. But, as you might guess, there was a considerable amount of "necking and kissy-face" going on.
In my last two years in good Ol' THS, I had a steady girlfriend. She was a really, sweet, bright, considerate young woman. She had to be to date me.
Any regular reader of this column may know that I am the oldest of four boys with the youngest being 13.5 years my junior. I did a lot of babysitting as a teen because, as Mother said, "I have to have help if I'm going to cook three meals a day (yep, that's right, three), do laundry, keep house and have a garden."
Uh-huh. I also learned to cook, do laundry, hoe weeds in the garden, change diapers, that is, if I wanted to live there and enjoy the greatest cooking in the world.
But, I digress. Back to drive-in movies.
Steady girlfriend loved my little brother as well. On occasion, I'd go to pick her up for a date and she'd ask where we were going. I'd say, "To the drive-in in Fairfield."
Then I'd hear the words I didn't want to hear because I desired hugging and kissy-face: "Well, let's go back to your house and get Danny (little bruvver) and the diaper bag."
"Aw, c'mon, Barbara Jean," I'd moan. "Can't we go to the drive-in just once without taking Spoilsport there?"
"Get the diaper bag!"
Of course, drive-in movies are made for families. But, I'd wager that if you checked the back rows you might find some teens playing kissy-face, thus the title "Passion Pit."
Oh, and don't get too involved. There's a guy with a flashlight and he patrols all evening.

That 2014 Growth Breakout? Not Looking Likely
GDP Moderated Amid Bad Weather, Softer Overseas Demand for U.S. Products
The U.S. economy's momentum is slipping as bad weather and overseas volatility restrain consumers and businesses, diminishing hopes for an early-2014 breakout in growth.
Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of goods and services produced across the economy, grew at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 2.4% in the final quarter of the year, the Commerce Department said Friday, down from an initial reading of 3.2%. Private economists' projections for the first quarter are even weaker, with many coming in below 2%....

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks were little changed on Wednesday ahead of the resumption of negotiations over the "fiscal cliff".
President Barack Obama, after vacationing in Hawaii, is due back in Washington early Thursday for a final effort to negotiate a deal with Congress to avert or at least postpone the cliff, a series of tax increases and government spending cuts set to begin next week.
"There is so little out there in terms of driving the market, it is so quiet and the horizon is just so blank, the only thing that could really bring the market any kind of movement is something as symbolic as the President's early return to Washington from his vacation in Hawaii," said Peter Kenny, managing director at Knight Capital in Jersey City, New Jersey.
"No one is hitting the panic button yet and part of that lack of panic selling is the notion that the Street is getting comfortable with the likelihood of a temporary fix for the fiscal cliff - something that gets us over the date of January 1 in a way where it can be re-addressed."
A Republican plan that failed to gain traction last week triggered the recent decline in the S&P 500, highlighting market sensitivity to headlines centered around the talks.
Data showed U.S. single-family home prices rose in October, reinforcing the view the domestic real estate market is improving, as the S&P/Case Shiller composite index of 20 metropolitan areas gained 0.7 percent in October on a seasonally adjusted basis.
The Dow Jones industrial average <.dji> gained 15.34 points, or 0.12 percent, to 13,154.42. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.spx> shed 0.31 points, or 0.02 percent, to 1,426.35. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.ixic> dropped 1.92 points, or 0.06 percent, to 3,010.68.
The benchmark S&P index is up 13.5 percent for the year, and has recouped nearly all of the losses suffered in the wake of the U.S. elections, when the fiscal cliff concerns moved to the forefront of investors' focus.
Retailers will be in focus as data on the holiday shopping season begins to come in. Holiday-related sales rose 0.7 percent from October 28 through December 24, compared with a 2 percent increase last year, according to data from MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse.
"The broad brush was Christmas wasn't all that merry for retailers and you have to ask what those margins look like if the top line didn't meet their expectations," said Kim Forrest, senior equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh.
The Morgan Stanley retail index <.mvr> slipped 0.8 percent.

An oft-used metaphor for graduating students is seeds scattering to the wind, and the comparison is certainly apt: We wonder where they'll land, and where they'll take root. At the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences (SEFS), our students develop an enormous range of interests and specialties, and they often branch into dozens of disciplines around the country—some going on to graduate school, others beginning their careers. Wherever they end up, though, one of our greatest rewards is hearing from them and learning about their growth.
One such update recently came from Randi Adair. She graduated in 2005 as part of the first class with an Environmental Science and Resource Management (ESRM) degree, and later earned a Master's in Environmental Planning from UC Berkeley. Originally from Portland, Ore., Adair is now working in Napa Valley as a senior environmental scientist with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). "We're midway up the Napa Valley, surrounded by mountains and vineyards," she says. "It's pretty nice." (Their office was originally part of a game bird farm, hence its somewhat unlikely address in the heart of wine country.)
Adair has now been with CDFW for three and a half years, has just bought a house the next valley over in Sonoma, and despite being accustomed to Pacific Northwest greenery has gradually fallen in love with the sun-roasted hillsides and oak woodlands of California. Through it all, she's thoroughly enjoyed her work and been thankful for the classes and professors who've helped her achieve along the way.
She says her background in forest resources has definitely served her well with CDFW. In her first role, Adair wrote Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreements (a type of permit) and California Endangered Species Act permits for development projects, participated on the technical advisory boards for a couple of regional conservation plans, reviewed environmental disclosure documents, and dealt with public inquiries on a range of topics from creek restoration to burrowing owls. With her office chronically shorthanded, she says she was kind of a "one-man band" for a large geographical area, and she spent long hours writing letters and filling out paperwork. Yet she still got to spend some time in the field reviewing projects with engineers and planners, and the end result was worth it.
Adair later moved into her current position supervising the Bay Area Timberland Conservation Program. She heads out as part of a review team—which includes members of the departments of forestry and fire protection and other state agencies—for pre-harvest inspections. She helps evaluate the harvest plans for a range of factors, such as trails, roads, wildlife and creek crossings, and then makes management recommendations. She also supervises other permitting staff and works on a range of department policy issues.
"I did a lot of that in my undergraduate degree," she says. "From the survey classes, I got a pretty good background in a wide range of topics—water quality sampling, stream flow, things like that that I use all the time in my current job."
Adair also credits her course and field work through the Urban Ecology Program (UrbanEco), which was funded through the National Science Foundation as a training grant. It lasted for about 10 years and is no longer running at SEFS, but at the time UrbanEco gave students tremendous hands-on opportunities to shape community and environmental planning. Some of the lead professors included John Marzluff and Clare Ryan, and Adair's research group looked at the Seattle Shoreline Master Plan, focusing on areas where public access to the shoreline was or should have been provided pursuant to development permits (she received a small tuition stipend and a Mary Gates scholarship for taking part in the program).
Other professors who made a big impact on her time at SEFS were Gordon Bradley and Tom Hinckley, and she says Kern Ewing's restoration class was one of her favorites (even though she had walking pneumonia for nearly the whole quarter!). "I'm very grateful for the excellent education that made it possible for me to be where I am today," she says. "I feel pretty lucky."
Nicely done, Randi, and thanks for the update!

Lizzie Smith Timeline
4 April 1868: Birth of Susan Elizabeth "Lizzie" Smith in Tennessee (state from US Federal Censuses 1910, 1920, 1930 and Susan E. Brinlee's Widow's Application for Confederate Pension, day and month by hearsay from family Bible, now believed to have been burned, and year based on age reported on marriage license of H. C. Brinlee and Mrs. S. L. Bonner).
1885/1886: According to the 1930 census, Lizzie first married at the age of 17; I would guess this happened in Tennessee. [According to Tennessee marriage records, a W. T. Banner married a Lizzie Smith in October 1886 in McMinn County, Tennessee.]
3 December 1891: Lizzie marries Hiram Carroll Brinlee, Jr., in White Bead Hill, Chickasaw Nation, Oklahoma.
29 January 1893: Son Lawrence Carroll Brinlee born in String Town, Atoka, Oklahoma (Paul's Valley is given as his place of birth on his WWI Draft Registration Card).
8 June 1895: Daughter Cordelia Lee "Cordie" Brinlee born in Oklahoma.
25 June 1900: Hiram appears on the 1900 US Federal Census for Britton Township, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma Territory; Lizzie and the children may be living with him.
1902: The year Hiram and Lizzie may have moved from Oklahoma to Texas, as reported by Lizzie on her Confederate Widow's Pension Application.
6 April 1904: Son Austin Franklin Brinlee born in Farmersville, Collin County, Texas.
23 September 1908: Son Cecil Odell Brinlee born in Collin County, Texas.
4 May 1910: Hiram and Lizzie appear on the US Federal Census for Justice Precinct 2, Hunt County, Texas.
22 August 1913: Hiram Brinlee files Confederate Soldier's Application for a Pension in Grayson County, Texas.
30 January 1920: Hiram and Lizzie appear on the US Federal Census for Farris, Atoka Co., Oklahoma. Hiram had died on 20 January, but the census-taker must have been following the instructions, which indicated that "individuals alive on 1 January but deceased when the enumerator arrived were to be counted."
27 July 1925: Lizzie files her Confederate Widow's Pension application from Collin County, Texas.
10 Sep 1929: Lizzie writes a letter requesting assistance with her Pension application; the location is given as Leonard, Texas (Leonard is in Fannin County).
21 April 1930: Lizzie appears on the US Federal Census living with her son Austin in Fannin County, Texas.
29 July 1958: Lizzie dies in Plano, Collin County, Texas. She apparently had lived for some years with her youngest son, Cecil Odell, who signed the application for her mortuary warrant and her death certificate. Her death certificate indicates her stay in Plano as "several years."

Did you ever find her in the 1900 census? If you could find her, that would at least give you a month and year of birth. I found Hiram in 1900 and it's odd that she's not listed in the household with her husband even though he lists himself as married.ReplyDelete
Thanks for taking an interest in my brick wall. I have not been able to find her and the two children born by then (Lawrence and Cordie), and I'm almost positive that they were living with Hiram but not counted. Here's the scenario I see: Hiram, son Louis, and the hired hand are outside working. Census worker comes. They give him their own information, but figure he doesn't need to know about the rest of the family and simply blow him off. That would be such a Brinlee thing to do.ReplyDelete
That is a very likely scenario. Is it possible she was visiting with family/friends within a few county radius at the time the census was taken?ReplyDelete
I have a set of ancestors who in 1900 were obviously living apart. She is listed as a widow and I've never found him in 1900. In 1910 she's listed again as a widow and he as married and they are clearly in separate households 4 counties apart. I'm assuming from the stigma of separation or abandonment, she listed herself as widowed. I thought that might have been the case here but your couple went on to have more children and are together in the 1910 census.
Have you found an obit for her?
Once again, thank you so much for taking an interest in "my Lizzie." I have done quite a bit of searching on the 1900 census (using various spellings of names, combinations of states of birth with ages, etc.), but have not yet done a complete review of all the neighboring families. I do have an obituary (as well as death certificate) for Lizzie, but it lists what I believe is an incorrect year for her birth - 1860. Her year of birth seems to have moved back as she got older, sort of the opposite of what we usually see.
That divorce thing can appear in really strange ways on the census. You never know when a widow might actually be a divorcee. I was only able to find one great-great aunt after another researcher informed me that this aunt had taken back her maiden name for herself and for her children after divorcing her husband; no wonder I hadn't been able to find them! Then there were a couple who had divorced, each taking one child, but she listed herself as a widow, so at first I thought the other child had died, but the ex-husband and other child were still living in the same county. Don't you just love "family dynamics"?
Hello Greta:ReplyDelete
How are you? I have some good news for you. I called Edna Brinlee a few minutes ago. We were talking about the Brinlee,as usual. I asked if they have any pictures of your grandfather Lawrence Carrol Brinlee? Edna and George said they do. They also have a picture of Cordelia Lee Brinlee-Clinton. George will send them to me by email in a few days. I said that you had been looking for sometime.
When I receive them, I will email them to you. I do not know at what age or year they were made.

How colour could affect our sensation, thoughts, physical reactions and responses should not be underestimated. Colours can affect our sense of judgement and make the space look bigger or smaller, open or intimate. What most of us do not know is that colours can improve our health, increase energy levels and even change our body temperature!
The choice of benchtops will depend on the look you are trying to achieve, as well as your budget. The more expensive options includes stainless steel, granite and solid surfaces such as corion top. All are hardwearing and have their benefits, not the least being their ability to handle hot-pots. For many, laminates remains the surface of choice because of the great variety of looks available and also, the price.

A 25-year-old woman was arrested after she allegedly drunkenly rear-ended a police blood alcohol testing van, hit two patrol cars and broke a cop's leg in Texas, the Houston Press reported.
Two police cruisers and the BAT van were parked on the side of the road in The Woodlands, Texas, with their emergency lights on, their personnel investigating and subduing another DWI suspect, when Calli Dretke drove along and rear-ended the van, according to the Montgomery County Police Reporter.
According to reports, however, Dretke didn't stop there and after plowing into the van managed also to clip both cruisers — and one cop.
The police officer, a deputy identified as Jones in the Police Reporter, reportedly tried to escape being hit by jumping on top of his squad car but couldn't in time. Dretke allegedly hit him, breaking his leg.
Dretke was arrested, charged with felony intoxication assault of a police officer and jailed. She spent Sunday night in Montgomery County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bond, according to the Houston Press.

Emergency Support for Education
At a Senate appropriations subcommittee hearing this week on the Department's proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2011, Secretary Duncan began his remarks by drawing members' attention to the looming financial shortfall that states and school districts face, even as the U.S. economy recovers. "We are gravely concerned that the kind of state and local budget threats our schools face today will put our hard-earned reforms at risk," he stated. "Every day brings reports of layoffs, program cuts, class time reductions, and class size increases." Potentially hundreds of thousands of educators and other personnel could be laid off if action is not taken quickly to help states and districts cover shortfalls. Mass layoffs "not only create hardships for educators who lose their jobs and the children they teach, but the damage ripples through the economy as a whole. Literally, tens of millions of students will experience budget cuts in one way or another." The Secretary urged members to consider another round of emergency support for America's schools, similar to the aid provided to states through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). "If we do not help avert this state and local budget crisis," he warned, "we could impede reform and fail another generation of children." (Note: Video of the hearing is available online.)
ARRA Outreach (Race to the Top)
"Now that we have announced the Phase 1 winners of Race to the Top, it is worth stepping back and analyzing why our two winnersDelaware and Tennesseedid so well," Secretary Duncan articulated in a blog entry. "The data confirm that no single factor can make or break any particular application but rather a combination of a successful track record, bold reforms, broad buy-in, and statewide impact is the key to success. It is easy to be bold if no one buys in, and it is easy to get buy-in if you are not bold. Neither matter much at all if you are not successful in reaching the kids in the classroom, and the bottom line is you must show results. To win Race to the Top you need it all, and that requires courage, commitment, and capacity."
The Secretary noted that the winning states "built on their unique strengths and track records, rather than trying to manufacture a reform agenda from whole cloth." Delaware is building on its Vision 2015 blueprint, and Tennessee is focusing on its value-added assessment system. He also praised the winners for securing "broad support through a combination of changing their state laws and coalition building among districts, unions, businesses, advocacy groups, and local philanthropies."
"The bottom line is that we had many strong applications, but every state has room to improve, including the two winners," the Secretary concluded. "The point of Race to the Top is to challenge ourselves and each other to get betternot in one or two areas of reform...but in every area of reform simultaneously. The single most important investment we can make as a nation is to ensure that every child gets the best education possible. We have no time to waste. The Race to the Top continues."
Applications for Phase 2 of Race to the Top are due June 1.
Videos of the 16 Phase 1 finalists presenting and responding to questions from peer reviewers are now posted with states' Phase 1 applications, score sheets, and reviewers' comments and scores.
ARRA Outreach (Assessment)
Secretary Duncan has set aside up to $350 million of Race to the Top funds to support a consortia of states in developing and implementing a new generation of assessments. The Race to the Top Assessment program is designed to fill an urgent need in the nation's education system: the need for valid and instructionally useful assessments that provide accurate information about what students know and can do and that are anchored in standards designed to enable every student to gain the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in college or the workplace by the time he or she graduates from high school.
In addition to funding the development of a new generation of statewide standardized assessments to replace states' current tests, the Department will award up to $30 million of the $350 million to fund better assessments for high schools. These "end-of-course" tests will support high school improvement efforts in consortium states by promoting broader, more equitable access to rigorous courses and a diverse set of course offerings in both academic and career-technical areas.
To provide expert and public input to its notice, the Department hosted 10 public meetings to learn and facilitate the sharing of information with states and the public. (Note: A technical assistance workshop for potential applicants and partners has been scheduled for April 22 in Minneapolis.)
ARRA Outreach (Investing in Innovation)
Webinar recordings of the Investing in Innovation (i3) Fund's three pre-application workshops are available at online. The purpose of these workshops was to offer technical assistance to interested applicants for the scale-up, validation, and development grants. More than 1,000 attendees participated in the workshops, and over 2,000 attendees participated remotely through the webinar.
The deadline for all applications is May 11.
Also, with a $1.4 million grant from the Kellogg Foundation, the Rural School and Community Trust is providing customized technical assistance for rural school districts seeking i3 Fund grants.
Digest of Education Statistics
The "Digest of Education Statistics, 2009," from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), part of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), is the 45th in a series of publications initiated in 1962. Its primary purpose is to provide a compilation of statistical information covering the broad field of American educationfrom pre-kindergarten through graduate schooldrawn from government and private sources, but especially from surveys and other activities led by NCES. The digest contains data on the number of schools, students, and teachers, as well as statistics on educational attainment, finances, libraries, technology, and international comparisons. One sample finding: the status dropout ratethat is, the percentage of 16- to 24-year-olds not enrolled in school and who have not received either a diploma or an equivalency credential -- declined from 13% in 1988 to 8% in 2008, while the percentage of 25- to 29-year-olds who completed high school in 2009 was almost the same as it was in 1999 (89% and 88%, respectively).
Other new statistical reports:
- "Interim Report on the Evaluation of the Department's Growth Model Pilot Project."
- "Trends in the Use of School Choice, 1993-2007."
- "Enrollment in Postsecondary Institutions, Fall 2008; Graduation Rates, 2002 and 2005 Cohorts; and Financial Statistics, Fiscal Year 2008."
Odds and Ends
The White House has announced six high schools as finalists for the first annual Race to the Top High School Commencement Challenge. Over the next few weeks, each school's students will work with the Get Schooled Foundation to create a brief video highlighting how their school best fulfills the challenge's criteria. The videos, with portions of each school's written application, will be featured on the White House web site, and the public will have the opportunity to vote on the three schools they think best meet the President's goal. The President will select a winner from the three finalists, visiting that school to deliver the commencement address later this spring.
The Department has produced a series of videos that illustrate how several districts have successfully turned around persistently low-performing schools using the four models endorsed by the agency's $4 billion School Improvement Grants (SIG) program.
Last week, Secretary Duncan and White House Domestic Policy Advisor Melody Barnes participated in a live chat with HuffPost College. They answered a wide range of higher education questions, including: (1) How does the White House plan to encourage high school minority students to pursue higher education?, (2) How can the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act (SAFRA), which takes effect in 2014, help students who are in college today?, and (3) What can the federal government do about the ever-increasing cost of higher education? The questions came from HuffPost College's network of college newspaper sites across the U.S.
In response to requests from administrators, the Department's Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) is establishing an official process which would allow leaders from a limited number of schools and districts to obtain Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) submission information for their students.
The Department's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools (OSDFS) recently awarded three new Project School Emergency Response to Violence (SERV) grants, totaling some $137,000, to school districts in Alabama, California, and New Mexico to assist with recovery efforts following a middle school shooting and a series of student suicides. These grants supply funding to respond to a traumatic event and re-establish a safe learning environment. This fiscal year, OSDFS has awarded more than $1.1 million to 10 grantees.
Quote to Note
"The case for a well-rounded curriculum begins with a disappointing reality: many schools today are falling far short of providing an engaging, content-rich curriculum. Instead, students are often saddled with boring textbooks, dummied-down to the lowest common denominator. It is no wonder that much of today's curriculum fails to spark student curiosity or stimulate a love of learning.... In the coming debate over ESEA reauthorization, I believe that arts education can help build the case for the importance of a well-rounded curriculum in at least three ways. First, the arts significantly boost student achievement, reduce discipline problems, and increase the odds students will go on to graduate from college. Second, the arts are essential to stimulating the creativity and innovation that will prove critical to young Americans competing in the global economy. And lastly, the arts are valuable for their own sake, and they empower students to create and appreciate aesthetic works. As First Lady Michelle Obama sums up, both she and the President believe "strongly that arts education is essential for building innovative thinkers who will be our nation's leaders for tomorrow."
|Secretary of Education Arne Duncan (4/9/10), before the Arts Education Partnership National Forum
Upcoming Events
Department officials will travel to Alaska (April 16), Oklahoma (April 19), South Dakota (April 28), and New Mexico (May 3) to strengthen government-to-government relations with Indian tribes. The consultations are in response to President Obama's November 5, 2009, Presidential Memorandum and Executive Order 13175, which directs agencies to develop a plan of actions for providing regular and meaningful consultation and strengthening of relationships with tribes. Specifically, the meetings will seek feedback from tribal leaders on the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
The U.S. Departments of Education and Health and Human Services will hold a series of Listening and Learning About Early Learning meetings in April and May.
Over the next two weeks, the Department will exhibit at the National Afterschool Association's Annual Convention in Washington, DC (April 19-21), the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' Annual Meeting in San Diego (April 21-24), and the National Council on Educating Black Children's Annual Convention in Las Vegas (April 28-May 1). If you are attending any of these events, please stop by the Department's booth.

Boom App for Mac: System-Wide Amped Listening Experience
iTunes does let you tweak and adjust music settings for a more personalized experience…in iTunes. The Boom app not only amplifies your music library's sound, the app takes it a step further and offers a significant boost to your current sound across all of your services. In theory, if Apple built in some sort of volume limiter, Boom pretty much destroys that restriction and lets users listen to music, chat with friends over iChat/FaceTime, or Skype, watch DVD's or YouTube videos on new sound levels that you never thought your Mac could reach. After installing the app, you can simply adjust the Boom volume from your Mac's menu bar. I downloaded the app you can definitely tell the difference, regardless if I was listening to music in iTunes or watching Netflix videos.
Boom also offers an equalizer that lets you select presets (Music, Vocals, Movie, Bass Booster, Treble Booster, etc) or manually adjust the bands to create your own preset. You can change the sound system-wide or you can apply settings to only specific music tracks in your library to get the most out of your favorite song. After applying Boom to tracks, the app saves the adjusted copy in its own folder, so your original is left alone just in case you ever want to revert back. You can also opt to create an iTunes playlist of all your amped tracks.
My only suggestion is a way to drag and drop tracks directly from the iTunes interface in addition to browsing for them in the Boom menu. Also, It's tempting to add every song from your catalog into Boom, just be mindful of your computer's current storage space because you're duplicating tracks and thus eating at your storage capacity.
The cool thing with Boom is you don't need any external equipment to boost your Mac's sound - It's all done in-app at a decent price of $6.99. So if you're looking for a quick way to liven up your Mac's speakers without maxing out the built-in volume levels, check out the free 7-day trial of Boom for Mac (OS X Snow Leopard or later), and let us know what you think.
