Title: Beginning Russian Through Film
Body: From http://russian.cornell.edu Short digitized clips from Russian films are the primary source of language and culture in this course. The creators collected close to 400 clips and placed them on this Web site along with many supporting materials. You can use a Windows or Macintosh computer to take advantage of the course. No registration is necessary (or, indeed, possible), and no credit is given, unless the student is registered for first-year Russian at Cornell. Digital video offers a dimension that videotape cannot, in that scenes from authentic Russian films can be made accessible to beginning students. As a student watches a clip on his or her computer screen, he or she can rewind the clip and move to any portion of the clip by pointing and clicking with the mouse. A complete transcript of the dialog, a glossary, and linguistic and cultural comments are also only a mouseclick away. Exercises based on the clip are presented on the same screen, with high quality audio recordings that are played back by the computer. The student can pause and rewind the recording by using the mouse. Assignments that require that the students record their own voices are also done on the computer. Access Beginning Russian Through Film at http://russian.cornell.edu/brtf/index.htm . Browse the many other Russian resources at Cornell at http://russian.cornell.edu .

Title: Photo Exhibition: Berlin Kreuzberg SO36
Body: From http://www.goethe.de/ins/us/was/kue/bku/en4229553v.htm Berlin Kreuzberg SO36 - A Berlin district before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall Photographs by Peter Frischmuth Thursday, 26 March - Thursday, 21 May 2009 Goethe-Institut Washington, FotoGalerie Kreuzberg, a district in the center of Berlin, suddenly found itself on the fringe after the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961. Surrounded on three sides by the Wall, the district’s important transportation lines were cut off, bridges over the Spree river were closed, and local manufacturers suddenly lacked thousands of workers who were no longer able to get to work. Photographer Peter Frischmuth, who has taken pictures for major German magazines such as Der Spiegel, Focus and Stern, visited Berlin in 1982 to photograph scenes of life in Kreuzberg. In 2006, Frischmuth returned to Berlin to retrace his steps to the same places and the same people. Comparing these two series of images demonstrates not only what has changed over time but also what has remained constant. Learn more at http://www.goethe.de/ins/us/was/kue/bku/en4229553v.htm .

Title: Supreme Court Weighs ELL Funding
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2009/04/20/30flores.h28.html?tkn=VRUCOHzjyK3V%2Bn7n2k5xOiLqDt9GHKUyWpwi Supreme Court Weighs ELL Funding By Mary Ann Zehr April 20, 2009 In the first case about services for English-language learners reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court since 1973, the justices seemed deeply divided today during oral arguments on whether a federal court had acted appropriately in ordering the Arizona legislature to provide sufficient funds for the state’s ELL programs. In Horne v. Flores, the petitioners argue that compliance with the No Child Left Behind Act is sufficient in providing "appropriate action" to help students overcome language barriers, as required by the Equal Educational Opportunity Act of 1974.
