Title: Chinese Grammar Wiki
Body: From http://www.sinosplice.com/life/archives/2012/01/22/a-new-resource-for-chinese-grammar The AllSet Learning Grammar Wiki is a mini-Wikipedia devoted entirely to Chinese grammar. It has recently been made publicly available, and is organized according to the following principles: Organized by Level. The Chinese Grammar Wiki was designed to be useful to learners of all levels, but with special consideration for the beginner. The Chinese Grammar Wiki organizes grammar points by level, and then also ties them all together with lots of links. Organized by Book. AllSet Learning has built up a decent library of Chinese textbooks and grammar books. These are the books cited as references when editing the wiki. Where possible, they’ve also tried to link textbooks’ contents back into the Chinese Grammar Wiki content. Always Referenced. Editors cite the resources they use, which can give learners some ideas for useful print resources. The wiki is available at http://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar

Title: Siege of the 'Iliad': Article about Multiple Translations
Body: From http://chronicle.com/article/Siege-of-the-Iliad/130381 Siege of the 'Iliad' By Willis G. Regier January 22, 2012 According to The Oxford Guide to Literature in English Translation, the Iliad is among the most translated works in English, and English has more versions than any other language. In the depths of digital libraries lie dead Iliads. Who remembers the English translations of William Sotheby (1831), J. Henry Dart (1865), or Charles Bagot Cayley (1876)? And I doubt we will ever see another like The Iliad of Homer in the Spenserian stanza by Philip Stanhope Worsley and John Conington (1866-68). Samuel Butler's prose Iliad (1898) still gains praise, and T.E. Lawrence's Iliad (1932) has its following, while the couplets of Edgar Alfred Tibbetts (1907) and hexameters of George Ernle (1922) gather dust. For those that fall, new Iliads rush in. Three Iliads have recently appeared. Stephen Mitchell's (Free Press) and Anthony Verity's (Oxford University Press) are new to the battle for market share. The late Richmond Lattimore's (University of Chicago Press) Iliad first stepped onto the field in 1951 and now returns with a storied shield and dazzling armor, provided by Richard P. Martin of Stanford University: a longer, stronger, updated introduction and a vastly improved set of notes. Read the full article at http://chronicle.com/article/Siege-of-the-Iliad/130381
