In the spring of 1990, I studied in Jerusalem at Notre Dame's Tantur Ecumenical Institute. In the 1960s, Pope Paul VI asked Holy Cross Father Ted Hesburgh, then president of Notre Dame, to launch an ecumenical institute in the Holy Land. Off and on, as the political situation would permit, students have been sent to study at Tantur. I was one of eight fortunate enough to go that year.
When most people visit the Holy Land, they jog where Jesus walked. Having five months to soak it in was an amazing, blessed experience. Scripture came alive! The biblical places were amazing. Meeting leaders within the Eastern-rite Catholic traditions, as well as Orthodox leaders, introduced me to a breadth of Christianity previously unknown to me. Learning from Jews and Muslims of their faiths was rich. Seeing not only the ancient stones of archeology, but seeing the living people, Arabs and Jews, lent itself to a deeper understanding of ancient and modern conflicts in this turbulent region.
At 19 years old, I could have no idea of what a formative experience it would be!
— Father Chris Cox, pastor, Our Lady of Andacollo Parish, Santiago, Chile
The Franciscan University of Steubenville's Austria Program was basically a semester long pilgrimage and retreat for me, sprinkled with some classes and fellowship at the pub.
At a holy hour in Rome one night, I remember thinking about how exhausting it was to be constantly engaged in your spiritual life. It was a challenging semester.
But it was so worth it, because it bore such fruit. I was discovering the richness of our faith and learning about Church history while visiting the sites where these events took place. Under the pastoral leadership of Father Dave Pivonka, and with the theme of "Truth, Beauty and Goodness," I was growing ever closer to Christ. It was the most formative semester of my college years. The experiences I had in that program are invaluable and will forever shape who I am as a person.
— Rebecca Herr, Washington, D.C.
It was one of the greatest blessings of my life to be a part of the University of St. Thomas' (in St. Paul, Minn.) yearlong Catholic Studies in Rome program 2005-2006.
We lived at the Bernardi Residence, along the bank of the Tiber just east of the Vatican, and studied at the Angelicum (Dominican Pontifical University of St. Thomas) both in regular Angelicum classes and in classes led by St. Thomas professors. No other American college's undergraduate Rome program offers this unique mix of living right in Rome (not the outskirts) and attending classes at a regular Roman university in English, while continuing coursework from the university's own professors.
Where else but in Rome can one go to a papal Mass in the morning and visit the tombs of six apostles and six Caravaggio paintings in the afternoon? The people, activity and life of Rome are unique, as are the opportunities for spiritual pilgrimage. Rome was where I first realized what it is to live in a culturally Catholic country, where habited nuns are on every bus and shrines to the Madonna on every street corner, where priests in cassock ride mo-peds through crowds and the sounds of a procession are not uncommon in the streets.
Rome was where I was able to do the Seven Church Walk attributed to St. Philip Neri, where I was able to visit the relics of practically every saint listed in the Roman Canon (so that's why it's called that!), where I could pray the Stations of the Cross before the relics of the cross itself, and where I could contemplate the mystery of the Incarnation in the Sistine Chapel not once, not twice, but multiple times. Only at St. Peter's was I able to have a breathtaking encounter with the Lord at early morning Mass at the very tomb of Peter the Apostle, and the ethereal experience of St. Peter's in the early morning with dozens of priests celebrating Mass on every side altar in the peace and quiet of the dawn, and the receiving of holy Communion from the hand of Pope Benedict XVI.
Rome was where the universality of the Church became more and more manifest to me at each papal Mass, where thousands of pilgrims speaking every language came together to say the Lord's Prayer and other parts of the Mass in Latin — one body, one spirit in Christ as I never knew it before.
Rome was where I matured in my Catholic faith, and that year abroad was a turning point in my life both of faith and of my vocation to live as a layperson in the world. I cannot encourage young people enough to take advantage of a study abroad program, particularly the one through the University of St. Thomas — they do accept students applying for study abroad from other universities.
— Mary Gibson, St. Paul, Minn.
Thomas More College of Liberal Arts (in Merrimack, N.H.) has a program where all the second years go to Rome for a semester. It was a wonderful experience that opened up my eyes in many ways. We lived just a bit above Trastevere and had the incredible joy of doing daily tours of the art and architecture of the Eternal City.
Along with the city, there are also day trips organized by the college for cities such as Assisi, Cerveteri (to tour the Etruscan tombs), and the port city of Ostia Antica.
My time there was nothing less than life changing, and I still long to be in Santa Maria Maggiore for Sunday Mass.
I believe that the college has made changes to the program, but it's still worth investigating. Everyone should see Rome at least once.
— M. Jordan Lichens, via email

Comedian Jim Gaffigan (also known as The Palest Man Alive) has made us laugh with his musings on fatherhood, fast food, Hot Pockets, and manatees, among other concerns. Now he's finally putting his funny observations on parenting five children in a book, Dad Is Fat, coming May 7, 2013. The book will offer Gaffigan's take on toddlers' communication skills ("they always sound like they have traveled by horseback for hours to deliver important news"), to the eating habits of four-year-olds ("there is no difference between a four year old eating a taco and throwing a taco on the floor"). Gaffigan said in a press release, "I'm not sure if it's a memoir, a confession, an apology, or a cry for help, but I'm excited to write about things I just touch on in my stand-up act."
Are you excited for May 7? Will you read the whole thing in Gaffigan's high-pitched voice?

I can't explain it.
I had luck like yours with Pocomail's junk filters, whether using the regular non-bayesian or using the strict bayesian. Yet others are getting great results. A real mixed bag of results, if you search these forums!
Some say it may drop for a bit until you get it trained well, but I trained it - using a couple of different methods based on various users' instructions - and gave up when it kept dropping and I got tired of dealing with the spam.
Back when I was using Outlook I used iHateSpam from Sunbelt Software - about 82% was the best accuracy rate I got with a lot of false positives. With K9 I'm getting 94% right now. Some use Popmail also.

A Q&A with Brandy Cartmell
The University of Tennessee, Martin has a strategy in place to comply with a statewide outcomes-based funding mandate. Their initial work, completed during the 3-year "hold harmless" implementation window, was done in response to the Complete College Tennessee Act of 2010, which rewards institutions for outcomes related to retention, progression, and student success.
All state-funded higher education institutions in Tennessee, through the Tennessee Board of Regents and the UT system, are aligned with the state's master plan and the "Drive to 55" — the governor's push toward a 55 percent rate of Tennessee residents possessing a higher education credential. These institutions, along with the independent schools of the state, work in consort to help more citizens achieve their credentials, and those colleges and universities receiving state funding must demonstrate specific outcomes — rather than just tracking enrollments as was done in the past.
The outcomes-based funding is weighted according to the mission of the institution — as a medium-sized masters institution, UT Martin is weighted most heavily on bachelor's degree attainment and has developed strategies to optimize the success of its bachelor's candidates. CT talked with Brandy Cartmell, Interim Executive Director of Student Engagement and Registrar, to understand the role of technology in UT Martin's strategy.
Mary Grush: Does technology factor into your strategy to respond to your state's mandate for outcomes-based funding?
Brandy Cartmell: Definitely. Technology is my passion, particularly using it to make the institution more efficient in our operations while assisting students to be successful. We leverage technology for fiscally responsible practices — using the dollars we have to better serve students and to better offer them what they need.
Grush: Could you describe a few of the main technology components supporting your strategy?
Cartmell: Above all, we have increased communication. In particular, we have used our CRM to create plans that increase communications with our students and parents, and with our faculty and staff.
Our technology, including tracking and a system of early alerts (to faculty, students, parents, academic advisors, and others as appropriate), helps students reach progression benchmarks and ultimately supports our retention goals.
One piece that's fairly unique is our parent portal. Students can opt to sign a FERPA release that allows their parents to have access to the parent portal. We have a high proportion of first-generation college students — 42 percent of all our students — so, many parents don't even know what questions to ask to help their freshman student become successful in college. Our parent portal helps the parents to learn what resources are available (tutoring, writing lab, math lab, and others) so that they can help guide the student to those resources. The portal provides tracking of the student's progress, as well as offering questions to ask so parents can be part of the safety net for students when that's needed.
Of course, we have many ways we use technology to track our progress. We bring data down from Banner into our CRM so that we can run reports and generate statistics. We look at open rates and response rates on our e-mails and surveys so that we know whether we are effective in our campaigns and can resend or readjust as necessary.
And in general, UT Martin is a very personalized campus, which is something we pride ourselves in. The CRM helps support that culture. For instance, we send out e-mail birthday cards to freshmen, and even to the parents of freshmen, to faculty, and to staff — giving them all a sense of connectedness and personalization.
Grush: Was the parent portal part of your existing CRM?
Cartmell: We created it by modifying our Hobsons CRM Retain student portal.
Grush: Is that something you did in house?
Cartmell: We modified the CRM student portal ourselves, to create the parent portal. By the way, it's a hosted system, so all of that is cloud-based, and Hobsons supports us in the cloud.
Grush: How do you measure and report outcomes?
Cartmell: We measure things such as retention, progression to established benchmarks, degrees awarded, probation numbers, and numbers of earned hours students get in a semester or in their first academic year. Also graduation rates, job placement rates, employer surveys, alumni surveys, and enrolled student surveys… The software provides statistics for us. Each semester we do a report to the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC).
Grush: Where are you now in the implementation time line of your strategies supporting outcomes-based funding?
Cartmell: We are just entering the evaluation and assessment phase — having completed the basic initial implementation and being active with the outcomes-based funding model. For example, the parent portal was implemented and in use for the Fall 2012 incoming freshmen. So, we are already assessing an entire first year of the parent portal, to determine whether there is a relationship between the parent portal and retention.
Grush: What are next steps for you — your priorities as you continue this work?
Cartmell: We need to increase our retention and graduation rates — our student success. So we must take advantage of every creative, innovative thing we can think of. I think today's student is technology-oriented, and we need to leverage technologies. I will continue to use the CRM, and especially listen to the parent surveys on the parent portal, to learn what they are looking for.
Continuing to leverage technology, continuing to learn how our parents can help us, and listening to our customer — those would be the three things I'd say we will continue to emphasize as we go forward.
It's always a challenge to get people on board and to get them to change. Our campus, like all other campuses, was used to an enrollment-based funding model. We are now outcomes-based, so we have to change the way people think — the culture. But our campus is great. Our campus really appreciates and cares about the student. I think, by reaching those benchmarks, we benefit our students, we benefit our region, our state, and our whole country: It's exponential, as we help those students to become successful and graduate with a degree.
Many times with higher education, changing the culture is evolutionary, not revolutionary. But we need to make revolutionary changes if we want to benefit our students. That's what we're going for at UT Martin — to change the face of our campus and create success for all students.

Japan, North Korea Red Cross officials meet
SHENYANG, China (AP) — Japanese and North Korean Red Cross officials met in China on Monday in what Japan hopes will be a step toward talks on the return of Japanese citizens kidnapped by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s.
The Red Cross meeting dealt with a different issue, the return of the remains of 21,600 Japanese who died in Korea during the chaos at the end of World War II.
Foreign Ministry officials from both countries also attended the meeting and held informal talks on the side, Japan's Kyodo News service reported, citing an unidentified Japanese official.
The two countries, which do not have diplomatic relations, have not had formal government talks since November 2012. Japan sees a resolution of the abduction issue as a crucial step toward normalizing ties with North Korea.
North Korea allowed five kidnapped Japanese to return home in 2002, but Japan believes at least a dozen others also were kidnapped and wants them returned, if they are still alive.
Ri Ho Rim, secretary general of the North Korean Red Cross Society, described Monday's talks in the northeastern Chinese city of Shenyang as "productive," adding that the two sides agreed on the need "to meet continuously to resolve the issue of Japanese remains."
Osamu Tasaka, director general of the international department of the Japanese Red Cross, told reporters that each side would take back what they had discussed for further consideration.
The last time the two Red Cross Societies met was in 2012. Since then, delegations of Japanese family members have visited the graves of their relatives in North Korea nine times. Some are buried on hills in the outskirts of Pyongyang, the North Korean capital.
Japan colonized Korea from 1910 to 1945 and an estimated 34,600 Japanese soldiers, government officials and family members died of hunger or disease there at the end of World War II. Of those, the remains of 13,000 have been repatriated.
The 2012 Red Cross talks also led to the first government-to-government meeting between Japan and North Korea in four years. The brief warming of relations came to an end after North Korea launched a rocket in December 2012.
The latest talks are taking place as North Korea also pushes for improved ties with South Korea. Outreach by Pyongyang toward Seoul and Tokyo could potentially complicate efforts by Washington to coordinate the diplomatic response toward North Korea over its nuclear program.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Monday the U.S. remains in close coordination with Japan on North Korea policy. "We're not opposed to remains recovery operations as a humanitarian effort," she said.
Associated Press Writer Matthew Pennington in Washington contributed to this report.

Parise and Koivu help Wild douse Flamesby Dan Myers
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- In need of a breakout night on the scoresheet, Zach Parise and Mikko Koivu got an old friend back just in time.
The Wild's reunited top line of Parise, Koivu and Charlie Coyle combined for seven points and was a plus-5 overall to lead the Wild to a 5-1 victory against the Calgary Flames at Xcel Energy Center on Tuesday night.
Parise said earlier Tuesday that he and Koivu needed to play better and that Coyle, who teamed with the two veterans as a rookie last season to form perhaps the Wild's best line, could be just the man to get them going.
Coyle missed Sunday's 4-0 win against the New Jersey Devils and had played in only one of Minnesota's previous 13 games entering play Tuesday after suffering a sprained knee in the Wild's second game of the season.
"He's a strong guy who can separate and hold guys off. When you can do that, other guys are able to put themselves in a position where they can score goals," Wild coach Mike Yeo said of Coyle. "If you can't hang onto the puck and we're chasing or we have to go help, then obviously we don't have that opportunity."
It took the line just 9:07 to get on the board against the Flames after a sluggish start put the Wild in an early 1-0 hole.
Coyle stole the puck at center and fed a pass to the left corner in the Wild's offensive zone. Parise and Koivu won a battle for the puck as Parise circled behind the net and put a shot towards Flames goaltender Reto Berra. Berra stopped the initial shot but the rebound came free near the left post to Koivu, who roofed a backhander for his second goal of the season.
The trio struck again early in the second, this time on the power play, as Parise slammed home a rebound of his own shot in front for his seventh of the season at 6:28. Koivu earned the second assist on the play for his first multi-point game of the season.
"[Coyle] helped us a lot. the way he protects the puck, in the corner, he's good as being an out when we're scrambling in the corners," Parise said. "He plays with speed, he plays so smart, and makes room for us out there. He makes a big difference in our lineup. It's nice to have him back."
The Flames could not take advantage of three turnovers by the Wild early in the third period, and Minnesota made them pay by grabbing a 3-1 lead at 8:05 when Justin Fontaine skated from behind the net to the hash marks in front and banked his fifth of the season into the net off a defenseman. Fontaine's five goals are third among all rookies.
"We were getting shots, but when you go into the third period in a one-goal game on the road, you definitely want to take over the game," Flames forward Matt Stajan said. "We had a few good shifts, their goalie made some saves and then they kind of took the wind out of our sails once they got that third one."
Just 33 seconds later, Zenon Konopka made it 4-1, capping a 2-on-1 break with Torrey Mitchell by firing a wrist shot short-side past Berra. The goal was Konopka's first point with the Wild in his 53rd game with the team.
"It's been a little while. It's one of those things, the last few games, we've had so many chances and no pucks were going in the net," Konopka said. "Instead of getting frustrated, we kept working at it. I was pretty relieved to finally get one on the board. Hopefully they come in bunches but I wouldn't bet my life on it."
The Parise-Koivu-Suter combo struck again at 13:14 with a highlight reel goal that saw Koivu throw a no-look pass to Parise, who roofed his eighth of the season past a sprawling Berra.
The three-point effort was the 27th of Parise's career and 21st for Koivu.
"You always like getting those on your tape when the goalie is sliding the other way," Parise said. "It was such a nice play by [Koivu and Suter] and I just happened to be the recipient. That was a world-class pass by Mikko. That was a little bit of a gift."
Flames coach Bob Hartley absolved his rookie goaltender of blame for the loss.
"The goals that they scored, you could have taped Patrick Roy, [Ed] Belfour and [Martin] Brodeur together and we wouldn't have won that game," Hartley said. "They were so much better than us, they deserved the two points."
The Flames began the game like a team ready to win its second consecutive game on the road. After defeating the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 in overtime Sunday night, Calgary fired the game's five shots on Wild goaltender Josh Harding, grabbing a 1-0 lead at 5:24 when Lance Bouma led a mini 2-on-1 break and fed a backhanded pass to Jiri Hudler in the slot for his sixth of the season.
"I thought we skated very well the first 10 minutes, then we basically gave [them] two goals on two turnovers," Hartley said. "We were still in the game, and then in the third period we just didn't give ourselves a chance to get back in the game. They were much better than us."
Berra, who made 44 saves in the win Sunday, kept the Flames in it through two periods but the Flames as a whole were overmatched as the third period wore on. He made 19 saves in the loss.
Harding stopped 24 of 25 shots to improve to 8-2-1. He has allowed 12 goals in his 12 games this season.
"I don't focus on all those games, truthfully. I just try and focus on the last game and learn what I can do better. I'm pretty critical of myself," Harding said. "I want to get better every day and that's what I'll look for tomorrow."
Calgary visits the St. Louis Blues on Thursday. Minnesota, which has won five of six games overall, is at the Washington Capitals on Thursday night at Verizon Center in the first of a two-game Eastern trip.

Debriefing from meeting with kiniou
--Alban 08:24, 4 September 2009 (PDT)
- General Theme : We could use Sanobot.
- Visual option : 2D plain forms, kind of cartoon / manga (Kiniou : links ?)
- Still working on it ;) -- kiniou
- Script proposal : 3 phases
- Duration : 3 minutes
1. Start/Intro
- A . Sanobot data as raw / random numbers flowing on the screen
Graphics : monochromous, greenish Visuals : Numbers retrieved randomly from csv and scrolling / zooming Sound : gloomy and experimental synths pads Idea : start with something strange that will make sense only later
- Question : Can we modulate rythm of numbers apparition and their scrolling speed with music analysis ? Ex: no music, no number. Loud : larger font. Bass : slow scroll.
- Question : Can we define a length for such a sequence, have it render to screen randomly for a given duration ?
- B. Sanobot as a technical system
Graphics : colourful, fresh Visuals : illustrations of sanobot character, manga style animations Sound : rythmic, funky, acid Idea : Present sanobot, what it does / how it's built
2. Sanobot in action
A. Sanobot data : from random to graphics
Graphics : fresh illustration in front of monochrome background Visuals : sanobot character dancing in front of the csv numbers now showing the date : proves they're organized Sound : mix of both preceding style Idea : show the numbers seen in 1.A. are not random but organised
B. Sanobot in its environment
Graphics : colourful, fresh Visuals : illustrations of sanobot character, manga style animations Sound : rythmic, funky, acid ( harder than before ) Idea : why it's called sanobot and presents its enemy : the mighty Sanomonster, Master of All Toxic Wastes
3. Finale
- A. Sanobot data : from graphics to communication
Graphics : fresh cartoon style Visuals : sanobot character dances as we see the data being distributed on a network Sound : rythmic music at full pace Idea : show the numbers seen in 1.A. are being distributed worldwide in a meaningful objective
Note : this part should use modulation of visuals depending on graphics as every other A. parts
- B. Sanobot in the future
Visuals : Many sanobots appearing. Sound : Cool synth pads, atmospheric Idea : Show how we'll see more sensor systems built by people in the future

Cloud Transforms Businesses Globally
Service providers explain why their customers are adopting Cisco cloud collaboration.
Secure Meetings Through the Cloud
A World Vision International CIO relies on WebEx Meetings for new business.
Cloud Transforms Businesses Globally
Secure Meetings Through the Cloud
Give users what they need to do business — when, where, and how they need it.
The economic and agility benefits of cloud technology are propelling significant change in the delivery and consumption of IT services, applications, and content. As consumers of cloud-hosted services from Cisco and our partners, organizations can take advantage of flexible deployment models to gain access to end-to-end, enterprise-class applications.
Collaboration in the Cloud
Cloud Services increase deployment flexibility and collaboration capabilities.Read Overview
Why Cloud for Service Delivery?
Clouds provide a new level of flexibility in application and data delivery. Provisioning applications and services from a cloud can give you the operational benefits without the capital expenses of maintaining on-premises environments.
IT is focusing more on service delivery as content and services are increasingly being delivered on demand and on the move. Enterprises can achieve significant benefits, including the ability to:
- Deliver consistency of service across devices
- Ensure access to always-current versions of applications
- Support a self-serve model of procurement
- Enable rapid deployment at scale
- Shift IT spending from capital to operating expenses
- Focus on core versus context as appropriate
Why Cisco for Cloud Services?
Cisco is focused on enabling a compelling user experience with every service delivered from the cloud. These services can be provided anywhere, on any device, at any time with the security, performance, and reliability previously possible only with traditional on-premises deployments. Specific benefits include the following.
- Interoperability - Protect your existing IT investments. If, like many companies, you rely on Microsoft desktop productivity applications, the Cisco WebEx Cloud can provide user-availability information (presence) directly within Microsoft Office applications.
- Integration - Integrate new features from Cisco WebEx Cloud into your existing business applications. It's not about ripping and replacing everything, but taking advantage of enhancements that improve business processes.
- Maintenance - Cloud applications help you minimize time and effort spent deploying new and upgraded applications, reduce risks of technology obsolescence, and do not require updates to on-premises equipment.
Unify, Simplify, Integrate to Collaborate
The Cisco WebEx Cloud is a highly available and secure service-delivery platform, offering easy deployment and application delivery. Because applications are provisioned through clouds, users automatically have access to the latest versions, and can collaborate when, where, and how they need to.

Edward Courtney and Gail Trimble
Epyllion (diminutive of epos), term applied in modern (not ancient) times to some 'short epics', hexameter poems of mythological narrative in not more than one book. The texts most frequently called 'epyllion' are Hellenistic (especially the Hecale of *Callimachus (3), certain poems of *Theocritus, and Moschus' Europa) and Roman (the sixty-fourth poem of *Catullus (1), lost works by other *neoterics, and the *Ciris).
Characteristics often considered typical of epyllion include: unfamiliar mythical subject-matter, often erotic; a subjective, emotional style; an uneven narrative scale, with some events elaborated and others quickly passed over; the inclusion of a second theme within the main narrative by means of a speech or *ekphrasis.
However, many of these features are shared with other Hellenistic or neoteric poetry, with earlier poems in the post-Homeric epic tradition, or with shorter poetic narratives in other metres (especially lyric), while some poems usually identified as 'epyllia' exhibit only one or two of them. The meaningfulness of the term has therefore been questioned, although its convenience is generally agreed.
explanation, historical
Christopher Pelling
'Which of the gods was it that brought the two together in strife?', asks the Iliad as it launches its narrative (1.8); early in the Odyssey*Zeus complains that mortals blame the gods when they are responsible for their own sufferings (1.32–3). Both poems however swiftly complicate any attempt to limit explanations to either the human or the divine level. Achilles and Agamemnon quarrel, Achilles kills Hector, and Odysseus gets home, largely because they are the people that they are, but gods often intervene too. The Greeks win because they are better fighters; they also win because more gods are on their side. The poems also suggest another form of explanation, not tracing events to their origins but relating them to a familiar pattern of human life. Suffering is the lot of humanity (Il. 24.525–6); outrages like those of the suitors are punished. Life is like that, and one should not be surprised.
Gian Biagio Conte and Glenn W. Most
A grouping of texts related within the system of literature by their sharing recognizably functionalized features of form and content. Theory of genre as such is quite lacking in antiquity (its place is taken by theories of *imitatio) and ancient theoretical discussions of specific literary genres are few and for the most part unsatisfactory. They operate according to criteria which are one-sidedly formal (generally metrical), thematic (the characters' moral or social quality, the general subject-matter), or pragmatic (the situation of performance), but scarcely attempt to correlate or justify them; they are more interested in classifying existing works than in understanding the mechanisms of literary production and reception and are directed to the needs of the school and the library, not to the critic's; they bungle some genres (lyric) and ignore others (the novel). Rhetorical handbooks sometimes distinguish among oratorical genres, but the precise relation between their (often pedantic) prescriptions and the literary works remains uncertain.
literary criticism in antiquity
Donald Russell
narrative, narration
Massimo Fusillo
In the last 30 years, interest in narrative has developed at an incredible pace. Two branches of this 'narratology' may be distinguished. The one is oriented towards the 'story' as signified ('what happened': cf. especially the work of Greimas and Bremond, looking back to Propp's famous Morphology of the Folktale); the other is oriented rather towards the narrative as signifier ('the way it is told': Stanzel, Genette, in the line of the Russian formalists, Henry James, and E. M. Forster). Both approaches have been widely applied in classical studies, but the first has perhaps been more successful in the anthropological study of myth (see

Calling all architecture fans in New York City!
If you're a New Yorker who likes architecture, we've got an exceptional 5 day event starting TODAY at the Storefront For Art and Architecture Gallery. Inhabitat is getting together with BLDGBLOG, City of Sound, Subtopia and Storefront to put on what promises to be a groundbreaking series of events from today, Tuesday, May 29, to Saturday, June 2, 2007 . I will be attempting a pecha-kucha presentation at 6:30 pm, so be sure to come by if you want to see me embarrass myself! The other speakers should be good though – so be sure to come by.
Here's todays line-up:
Tuesday 29 May
3:00 pm: Robert Krulwich
3:40 pm: Tobias Frere-Jones
5:00 pm: Stanley Greenberg
5:40 pm: Michael Kubo (Actar)
6:30 pm: Geoff Manaugh (BLDGBLOG), Dan Hill (City of Sound), Jill Fehrenbacher (Inhabitat) and Bryan Finoki (Subtopia) in a back-to-back pecha kucha presentation followed by opening reception
Tuesday, May 29, to Saturday, June 2, 2007
Storefront For Art and Architecture
TOMORROW'S EXCELLENT LINE-UP (Wed May 30th) includes a panel on sustainable design featuring Susan Szenasy (Editor of Metropolis Magazine), Allan Chochinov (Editor of Core77), Graham Hill (Founder of Treehugger), and me. This is an open forum on sustainable design, and we are actively looking for questions from you – our readers, so please write in the comments if you have any questions you would like us to address.
POSTOPOLIS will be 5 days of continuous conversation about architecture, urbanism, landscape, and design blogging. We have an amazing line up of speakers that includes Lebbeus Woods, Mark Wigley, Ada Tolla & Giuseppe Lignano of LOT-EK, Michael Sorkin & Mitchell Joachim, Michael Bierut and William Drenttel, among others. In fact, we have so many great speakers that I am planning to be there for 5 full days straight to catch it all. Even if you can only pop by for an hour or so on one day, I highly encourage you to stop by and say hi. The event is free and open to the public and is sure to be a good time.
By inviting four bloggers from four different cities, to host a series of live discussions, interviews, slideshows, panels, talks, and other presentations, New York's Storefront for Art and Architecture aims to fuse the informal energy and interdisciplinary approach of the architectural blogosphere with the immediacy of face to face interaction. For the past five years, blogging has helped to expand the bounds of architectural discussion; its influence now spreads far beyond the internet to affect museums, institutions, and even higher education. Postopolis! is an historic opportunity to look back at what architecture blogs have achieved – both to celebrate their strengths and to think about their future.
The Storefront for Art and Architecture is a New York City art gallery founded in 1982. In 1993 the building was renovated in a collaboration between architect Steven Holl and artist Vito Acconci to create a unique ground-floor exhibition space with moveable hinged facade panels that can be opened and closed to create different degrees of accessibility to the street and public. The space is not only an amazing work of architecture, but also a great gallery and event space, and we are very excited to be working with Storefront to put this exhibition together. If you live in the area, don't miss it!

The remaking of the 6.5 million-sf Pentagon building is complete—17 years after it began. The renovation of the world's largest office building was completed ahead of schedule and below cost. The project, a complete interior transformation, is considered such a success that its design-build techniques have influenced other federal projects.
The Arlington, Va. structure was gutted and rebuilt from slab to ceiling in five phases, one for each section of the building. "We took the building apart and put it together again, with 20,000 people sitting in it," said Lee Evey, who oversaw the effort for five years.
Improvements and upgrades include:
• Installation of about 177 miles of cable tray to carry wiring.
• Installation of 70 passenger elevators.
• Construction of an airy two-story dining atrium of terrazzo, stainless steel, and glass.
• Complete upgrade of electric and communications utilities.
The Pentagon had not met National Electrical Code standards since 1953, and it averaged 20 to 30 power failures a day before the project.

Clubs in Mint Condition have no previous use. Any markings would be minimal shop wear.
Clubs in Excellent Condition have had very limited use. Among the wear that you may see on clubs in Excellent Condition: Normal ball marks minimally visible on the face; very light scratching on the sole; no abnormal crown or shaft wear.
Clubs in Very Good Condition have been played with and cared for in an appropriate fashion. The markings that you will likely find on Very Good Condition products will show typical wear of models of its age. All of the wear is purely cosmetic, and will not in any way affect the performance of the club. Among the wear that you may see on clubs in Very Good Condition: Normal ball marks and scratching on the face; normal scratching on the sole; minor dings and nicks on the crown and/or around the edges of the head; very light scratches, paint chips, paint blemishes on or around the crown.
Clubs in Value Condition have been played frequently. All clubs in Value Condition are in 100% playable condition, as all of the markings will be purely cosmetic blemishes, and in no way will affect performance. This is the perfect option for the player looking for more bang for the buck. Among the wear that you may see on clubs in Value Condition: Moderate face and sole wear; sky-marks, paint chips, paint blemishes, and scratches on the crown; dings and nicks on the crown and/or around the edges of the head; shaft wear.
Clubs in Poor Condition show significant wear to the point of not being playable. We do not offer these products to our customers.

51 Blocks
I am Michael Borgelt. I own an internet marketing agency that focuses on Search Engine Optimization, Paid Search, Analytics, and social media. I am creating my website now after I have been in running my own business for a couple of years now. I know...the wrong way I guess but I am always the type of person that is going to try something first before crossing all the "t's" and dotting the "i's"
This is for anyone looking for internet marketing expertise. It could be a fortune 500 company or a small mom and pop company. So a very wide range. The goal of my site is to make it very simple to understand and to navigate...it will be clean looking...white background...
Ok, this is where I struggle a little. I really have no set idea...I would like people to be creative and see what they can come up with. I would like to leverage the word "blocks" ... "51 Blocks" which meaning building ideas on top of other ideas to get to the solution you are looking for...so I would assume that means some sort of building blocks...but if you have a different idea PLEAASSSEEE submit it. I am not tied to anything. If you want to play with the numbers and build something off of that ...that is great...
Please feel free to create anything you can think of. I do like the web 2.0 look
My site will have a white background.
Here are some examples
http://www.rizn.info/uploads/images…y_logo.jpg (but do not like the font)
http://freelanceswitch.com/images/i…erhead.jpg ( really like this one)
These are just some ones I saw as I was clicking thru Google images...but I think they all have the same kind of "feel"
