Title: FY 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act
Body: On March 10, 2009 the President signed P.L . 111-8, the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009, to fund federal government programs through the rest of the 2009 fiscal year. Programs had been funded at the FY 2008 levels under a continuing resolution since October 2008, but for the remainder of the fiscal year, there is now new appropriations legislation. Even in this time of economic distress, foreign languages and international education programs will see numerous small to moderate funding increases. Of particular importance, the Foreign Language Assistance Program (FLAP) will gain $600,000 totaling $27.3 million; America COMETES baccalaureate and master’s STEM grants will increase slightly to $1.1 million each; Title VI and Fulbright-Hays gain $9.8 million (to $118.8 million); and the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) will be funded at $133.7 million. Advancing America through Foreign Language Partnerships (part of America COMPETES) was not funded again because some of the money for FLAP will be allocated toward foreign language partnership programs. Additionally, there were funding increases for research and development, Byrd honors scholarships and Javits Fellowships, and grants to local educational agencies. The National Endowment for the Humanities received a $10 million increase to $155 million, and Department of State programs (Educational and Cultural Exchange, Peace Corp, Inter-American Foundation, and the National Endowment for Democracy) will all receive increased funding in FY 2009.

Body: From http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/03/090318112937.htm Touch Helps Make The Connection Between Sight And Hearing March 18, 2009 The sense of touch allows us to make a better connection between sight and hearing and therefore helps adults to learn to read. This is what has just been shown by the team of Édouard Gentaz, CNRS researcher at the Laboratoire de Psychologie et Neurocognition in Grenoble (CNRS/Université Pierre Mendès France de Grenoble/Université de Savoie).
