Title: Article: ‘Genius Grant’ a Boost to Linguist As She Revives Wampanoag
Body: From http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/articles/2010/09/28/reviving_wampanoag_earns_linguist_a_genius_grant ‘Genius grant’ a boost to linguist as she revives a native language By Laura Collins-Hughes September 28, 2010 Jessie Little Doe Baird was overcome at the news that her 17 years of linguistic work — resurrecting the language the Wampanoag people spoke and wrote until at least the mid-1800s — had landed her a MacArthur Fellows “genius grant’’ of $500,000. The 23 recipients of this year’s John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation grants, including five others from New England, were announced this morning. When the foundation notified Baird, 46, a Mashpee linguist and the program director of the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project, two weeks ago of the fellowship, the honor brought her to tears. As far as she knows, her 6-year-old daughter is the only child since the 19th century raised from birth to speak Wampanoag (or, in that language, Wôpanâak).

Title: Chongjiujie Resources for Your Classroom
Body: 中秋节 (Zhongqiujie) - the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival (or Moon Festival) - is a well-known tradition even in the west, where moon cakes and lantern-lightings abound. But a lesser-known traditional holiday in China is the Double Ninth Festival, which lands on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. In 2010, it will be celebrated on October 16. Double Ninth was first mentioned in writing before the Eastern Han period, and is traditionally observed by the climbing of a high mountain and drinking of chrysanthemum wine. In the twentieth century, it evolved in to Senior Citizens' Day: Taking nine as the highest odd digit, two nines together signify longevity, and so the ninth day of the ninth lunar month has become a special day for people to pay their respects to the elderly. Contemporarily, the holiday involves hiking, chrysanthemum appreciation, a poem, and a song.

Title: Chongjiujie Resources for Your Classroom
Body: 中秋节 (Zhongqiujie) - the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival (or Moon Festival) - is a well-known tradition even in the west, where moon cakes and lantern-lightings abound. But a lesser-known traditional holiday in China is the Double Ninth Festival, which lands on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. In 2010, it will be celebrated on October 16. Double Ninth was first mentioned in writing before the Eastern Han period, and is traditionally observed by the climbing of a high mountain and drinking of chrysanthemum wine. In the twentieth century, it evolved in to Senior Citizens' Day: Taking nine as the highest odd digit, two nines together signify longevity, and so the ninth day of the ninth lunar month has become a special day for people to pay their respects to the elderly. Contemporarily, the holiday involves hiking, chrysanthemum appreciation, a poem, and a song.
