Arts Education Fuels the Economy In public-policy battles over arts education, you might hear that it is closely linked to greater academic achievement, social and civic engagement, and even job success later in life. But what about the economic value of an arts education? Here even the field’s most eloquent champions have been at a loss for words, or rather numbers. Until now. In December, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, the U.S. The numbers are still a work in progress. The total economic output (gross revenue and expenses) for arts education in 2011, the most recent year for which data are available, was $104-billion. Again, these figures do not include design schools, media-arts departments within schools of communications, or creative-writing programs—to name just a few notable omissions from the world of higher education. It’s not just arts enthusiasts who feel this way. Why, then, the paucity of solid economic analyses to inform funding and policy decisions about arts education?

50 Data Visualizations Wrapping your brain around data online can be challenging, especially when dealing with huge volumes of information. And trying to find related content can also be difficult, depending on what data you’re looking for. But data visualizations can make all of that much easier, allowing you to see the concepts that you’re learning about in a more interesting, and often more useful manner. Below are 50 of the best data visualizations and tools for creating your own visualizations out there, covering everything from Digg activity to network connectivity to what’s currently happening on Twitter. Music, Movies and Other Media Narratives 2.0 visualizes music. Liveplasma is a music and movie visualization app that aims to help you discover other musicians or movies you might enjoy. Tuneglue is another music visualization service. MusicMap is similar to TuneGlue in its interface, but seems slightly more intuitive. Digg, Twitter, Delicious, and Flickr Internet Visualizations
The Madness Begins The Madness Begins Note: For those reading this post during happy hour, feel free to turn it into a drinking game and take a sip every time you read the word liriope.

After the dirt settled we were left with a nice bare area that will soon become about two-thirds of our patio (the brick path still needs to be removed before we can begin digging out and leveling the soil for the next phase of the project which involves tamping, gravel, and sand). So although we have a lot ahead of us, we’re just happy to finally be getting started after lots of talk. We already shared this odd little photoshopped sketch to give you a vague idea of what we’re envisioning… … and when it comes to the materials, we’re planning to use cobblestone pavers very similar to the ones in our driveway…
