Title: Article: Maryland Tackles Ways to Tap Into 'Heritage' Languages
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2009/03/11/24heritage.h28.html?tmp=893677838 Maryland Tackles Ways to Tap Into 'Heritage' Languages Dual-Language Classes, Teacher Certification are Areas Under Pursuit By Mary Ann Zehr March 10, 2009 While other states have enacted policies to discourage students from building on their native-language skills, Maryland has completed an audit of the opportunities the state has to leverage the "heritage language" skills of its residents. Heritage speakers have been exposed to or speak a language other than English at home. The Task Force for the Preservation of Heritage Language Skills, which was established by the Maryland General Assembly last year, presented a report to Gov. Martin O’Malley and the legislature Feb. 26 with recommendations for how the state can better support the use of native languages other than English. Lawmakers in Maryland are predominantly Democratic. Read the entire article at http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2009/03/11/24heritage.h28.html?tmp=893677838 .

Title: Article: In Tough Times, the Humanities Must Justify Their Worth
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/25/books/25human.html?em&exprod=myyahoo In Tough Times, the Humanities Must Justify Their Worth By PATRICIA COHEN February 24, 2009 [I]n this new era of lengthening unemployment lines and shrinking university endowments, questions about the importance of the humanities in a complex and technologically demanding world have taken on new urgency.

Many in the field worry that in this current crisis those areas will be hit hardest. Read the full article at http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/25/books/25human.html?em&exprod=myyahoo .

While the trend to teach Chinese in traditional schools isn't exactly sweeping Missouri, schools across the country are signing on, even in far-reaching corners like Bowling Green. Two Missouri public school districts offered Chinese classes two school years ago. This year, at least seven do, most of them in the Kansas City area. In Illinois, at least 30 districts and private schools, most in the Chicago area, offer Chinese instruction.
