You are invited to a special Concert which will be presented February 8th - 3 PM at the Catonsville Presbyterian Church - 1400 Frederick Rd, Catonsville, MD 21228 410-747-6180
David Hardy, and his National Symphony colleague, Lambert Orkis are presenting a very unusual and interesting concert as part of the Church’s Music Series. Admission is free and tickets are not required.
Of special interest: The first half of the program will be performed using a fortepiano and a specially prepared cello - this to simulate the instruments and sounds of music as it was heard during Beethoven's lifetime.
The second half of the concert will use the modern piano and cello.
Below is the program and URLs which you may use to learn more about the performers and the Fortepiano.

Sitters Connect.
Sitters Connect LLC founder, Barbara Miller, has been where you are today. As a college student, she spent many afternoons picking up kids from school, giving them snacks and helping them with homework. Many years later, as a mother of three boys, Barbara faced the challenge of finding good child care for her sons. Five years ago, when living in Athens, Ohio, Barbara and her friend, Meg, came up with the idea of matching the college students and parents through old-fashioned set-ups (thanks Meg)! The idea has matured a bit, and Sitters Connect LLC was started in 2008. Barbara uses her years of experience in sales, marketing and networking to help make others’ lives become easier and better. For Barbara, happy moms and happy kids equals happy sitters. Connecting all three for a perfect match…or with Sitters Connect LLC, the happy moms and the happy sitters may find several connections!Barbara is committed to helping non-profits who help others as well.

Maryland Schools Rank #1
Maryland schools rank 1st in nation in analysis by 'Education Week'
By Liz Bowie
January 7, 2009
Maryland's schools rank first in the nation in an analysis of factors such as high school graduation rates, student achievement, academic standards and accountability done by Education Week, a publication based in Bethesda.Maryland, ranked third last year, edged out Massachusetts by one-tenth of 1 percent. Both states were given a B grade overall, but the national average was a C.
Maryland scored well on the standards for early childhood education and preparing students for college.The report is likely to be widely quoted in the next year by state officials, particularly Gov. Martin O'Malley and Superintendent Nancy S. Grasmick. They have noted previous reports as evidence that Maryland has been moving in the right direction by providing more than $1.3 billion annually in funding over the past several years as well as requiring high-stakes testing at the high school level.The state received A and B grades for establishing financial equity among school districts and B's for student achievement from kindergarten through 12th grade.
"School reform doesn't happen overnight. It takes a long-term commitment to high standards and collaboration, always keeping in mind the students and the families we serve," said Grasmick in a statement. She said the report affirms Maryland's "status as one of the nation's most desirable places to live, work and raise a family."The state's worst scores came for its failure to support beginning teachers. Maryland does not fund mentoring programs or give funds to reduce the workloads of first-year teachers. In addition, the state does not require school districts to set aside time for teachers to receive additional training. Maryland also got low grades for teacher salaries and incentives.
