Title: Appleton, Wisconsin, Has Tightest Ancestral Ties to Germany
Body: From http://www.germany.info/Vertretung/usa/en/__pr/GIC/2011/08/05__Appleton__PR.html Wisconsin, along with Ohio, Missouri and Nebraska, are among the most oft-cited of the midwestern states with a long tradition of German heritage. And Milwaukee is considered to be "America's center of Germanic culture", as recently reported by G. Scott Thomas at bizjournals.com. Citing new census figures, however, Thomas added that "the metropolitan area with the strongest German flavor is actually 100 miles to the northwest - Appleton, Wis." According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 45.7 percent of Appleton's residents claim German as their primary ancestry.

Title: Crowdsourcing Ancient Greek Translation
Body: Here’s a rare opportunity to make the study of Ancient Greek into a modern, hands-on pursuit: --- In 1896, students from Oxford University on backpacking trip stumbled upon a rubbish dump in the ancient Egyptian city of Oxyrhynchus. To modern archaeologists, the contents were about as far from rubbish as you can possibly get: thousands of pieces of Greek papyri, dating back to the period after Alexander the Great conquered Egypt. The students collected the papyrus fragments and brought them back to Oxford, but due to the sheer number of fragments, translation has been slow going. Now they’re crowdsourcing the translating, allowing everyday people like you and me to help analyze the papyri. Working with a company called Zooniverse, the university has set up a website where anybody with some spare time can help decode the ancient texts. You don’t have to know a thing about ancient Greek to help, either. When you go to the AncientLives.org website, you’ll be presented with a papyrus fragment and a picture of the Greek alphabet, including examples of ancient handwriting to give you an idea of what the letters looked like written down. Using these examples, you can give your best guess about each of the letters on your fragment of papyrus. Then, the fragment is sent to a University scholar for double-checking and translation. Read the full blog entry at http://www.k-international.com/blog/ancient-greek-translation Read a related article at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-14289685 You and your students can get involved in this effort at http://ancientlives.org

Title: Book: Formal Linguistics and the Teaching of Latin
Body: From http://www.c-s-p.org/Flyers/Formal-Linguistics-and-the-Teaching-of-Latin--Theoretical-and-Applied-Perspectives-in-Comparative-Gr1-4438-2988-9.htm Formal Linguistics and the Teaching of Latin: Theoretical and Applied Perspectives in Comparative Grammar Editors: Renato Oniga, Rossella Iovino and Giuliana Giusti Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing Description: This volume offers a coherent collection of 26 papers presented at an international conference held in November 2010, exploring the latest achievements of formal and comparative linguistics applied to the teaching of Latin.

The book is addressed to linguists, teachers and students, who are looking for new perspectives to update their approach to classical Latin.
