Last week $85 billion in across-the-board federal spending cuts were triggered as a result of sequestration, which will affect nearly every agency throughout the government. For most agencies that support museums, including IMLS, NEA, NEH and NSF this means a five percent cut in their annual funding, including a reduction in grant-making activities for the year ahead.
You would not believe this news, considering all the talk about the sequester budget cuts, but the Dow Jones industrial average rose pass a record high and kept going all the way till closing time.
It jumped from the opening bell, climbed as much as 158 points early and reached 14,286, breaking through its previous record high set in October 2007.

Before entering into academia I served as a news writer, editor and producer for NBC for nearly nine years, working for top-rated and award winning broadcasts such as NBC News Overnight, Today and NBC Nightly News.

In my tenure there, I oversaw the development of the Univision brand into a network news, sports and public affairs programming powerhouse.

Under Sullivan's tutelage, including her pioneering "touch teaching" techniques, the previously uncontrollable Keller flourished, eventually graduating from college and becoming an international lecturer and activist.
