news cycle...

[Phillip E Cash Cash]

Greetings folks,

The news of Google's recent launch of the Endangered Languages Project made
a rush of headlines yesterday.  All quite exciting (since I search the news
daily).  I'm sure we will see more of the same in the coming month.  Keep
an eye out for original journalistic articles as these seem to take a
uniquely local perspective containing new information.  For example, in
today's headline, we saw:

Island takes centre stage in battle to save languages
http://www.timescolonist.com/life/Island+takes+centre+stage+battle+save+languages/6824099/story.html#ixzz1yX286qic

This article was good because it "localized" the news of Google's ELP
launch during"...(a big pancake breakfast) at the offices of the First
Peoples' Cultural Council on the Tsartlip reserve" in Victoria, Canada.  :P

l8ter,
Phil
