Noted Historian to Speak at Next APSU Honors Lecture Series
Clarksville, TN – In the vegetable world, corn has often been unfairly maligned as being a tad dull. It’s small. It’s yellow. It doesn’t evoke the same amount of fear that greens such as broccoli do.
But Dr. Michael Birdwell, associate professor of history at Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, wants people to understand there is an element of excitement to this vegetable. It is, after all, a key ingredient in moonshine, and it’s also found in just about anything people ingest these days, from cereals to snack foods to soft drinks. [Read more]

Grammy-nominated Gateway Chamber Ensemble to Perform Tonight at APSU
Clarksville, TN – To say that the Gateway Chamber Ensemble’s first CD, “Wind Serenades,” was a success is a bit of an understatement. Late last year, the group founded by several Austin Peay State University music faculty members learned their album was being considered for Grammy nominations in several categories – including producer of the year, engineered sound and best small ensemble performance.
“(They) have managed to assemble a top-notch performing ensemble that now enters the big leagues with the national and international release of its new super audio CD,” music critic Steven Ritter wrote last year in Fanfare Magazine, the leading classical music publication in the country.

The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen
Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist
- Scott J. Brown Ph.D., Chief Economist Raymond James Investment Services
The economic data were mixed. Retail sales and industrial production figures for January disappointed, but softness was seen as likely to have been the result of poor weather. The Fed’s two main regional manufacturing surveys were strong in February, with a further intensification of input price pressures and evidence that firms are a bit more able to pass along higher costs. January inflation figures were mostly higher than expected. The core CPI rose 0.2%, reflecting some one-time increases (such as apparel). Minutes of the January 25-26 Fed policy meeting showed that officials were somewhat more optimistic about 2011 GDP growth, but did not expect much improvement in the unemployment rate over the course of the year.
The stock market seemed to struggle a bit with the economic data, although reactions were limited. The major market averages still managed to forge ahead during the week. [Read more]
