Title: Article: Fulbright Keeps Moving Forward Despite Budget Uncertainty
Body: From http://chronicle.com/article/Fulbright-Presses-Forward-/129499/?sid=gn&utm_source=gn&utm_medium=en Fulbright Keeps Moving Forward Despite Budget Uncertainty by Ian Wilhelm October 23, 2011 As lawmakers seek to make deep cuts in federal spending, the U.S. State Department's Fulbright Program—the nation's flagship academic exchange—faces an uncertain future. Members of Congress have yet to set the 2012 fiscal-year budget, and proposals vary on how much the department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, which oversees Fulbright, will receive. The Senate has approved a 2.2-percent increase in the bureau's 2011 allocation, while the House of Representatives has proposed a 10.1-percent reduction. For its budget request for 2012, the Obama administration sought an increase in spending for the bureau, but also asked for an almost $1-million decrease in Fulbright. As the fiscal battle wears on, Marianne Craven, managing director of the bureau’s office of academic programs, says she is “cautiously positive” that Fulbright will survive relatively unscathed.

Title: Skype Learning Lab Puts Global Perspective on U.S. History
Body: From http://thejournal.com/articles/2011/10/26/skype-learning-lab-puts-global-perspective-on-u.s.-history.aspx Skype Learning Lab Puts Global Perspective on U.S. History A private school in Miami uses is using free technology to bridge geographical gaps between faculty and students. By Bridget McCrea October 26, 2011 Terrorist attacks and violent protests take place regularly in Jerusalem these days, yet Americans generally only hear about the events on TV or the Internet. Rarely do they experience them firsthand. Thanks to a Web-based videoconferencing setup for a distance learning class, a group of Advanced Placement U.S. History students from the Samuel Scheck Hillel Community Day School in Miami got pretty close to the action recently. The events unfurled one morning as Rhea Schwartzberg was getting ready to teach her U.S. History class using a Skype connection and the school's "global learning lab." Suddenly, a Jerusalem suburb not far from Schwartzberg's home, was rocked by a terrorist attack. The unfortunate event opened the doors for an international lesson in Israeli politics and the country's emergency response mechanisms for the AP students. "They put the history discussion aside for the day, and dedicated the classroom time to answering questions about the attack, and its short- and long-term repercussions," said Weisserman.

Title: Article: Karuk Family Struggles To Maintain Language
Body: From http://www.northcoastjournal.com/news/2011/10/27/karuk In Karuk A family struggles to bring its ancestral tongue back to life by Heidi Walters October 27, 2011 Elaina Supahan Albers remembers well what her husband, Phil Albers Jr., said that day eight years ago when she told him she was pregnant with their first child. She was 20 and he was 23. They both worked hotel jobs and attended Southern Oregon University, although Phil was about to graduate. They were at home in their little rental house on Park Street in Ashland, their first home together. “It wasn’t like, ‘Oh my God, we’re going to be parents!’” she says, laughing. “It was, ‘I have nine months to become fluent!’ The Albers are both Karuk, but at the time they weren’t fluent in their ancestral language. There would be challenges. The Albers anticipated some of them: their own inadequacies with the language, English surround-sound everywhere they went, few Karuk-speaking peers for their kids to practice with. But their home-immersion plan turned out to be even harder than they’d imagined. Read the full article at http://www.northcoastjournal.com/news/2011/10/27/karuk
