... quod contrā saepius illa
religiō peperit scelerōsa atque impia facta.
But ’tis that same religion oftener far
Hath bred the foul impieties of men;
—William Ellery Leonard, trans.

“Septem diebus, praeferamus spem metui, concordiam disiunctioni, mutationem promissam perstanti statui rerum. Septem diebus, una conveniamus una res publica, unusque populus, et iterum malimus meliora de nobis narretur”—B. Obama, 27 October 2008, Canton, Ohio.

BMCR Blog
As reported previously, the Bryn Mawr Classical Review, in addition to availability on line and via listserv, is now available via RSS feed at http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/recent.xml. However, the links to the on-line articles are incorrectly coded. E.g., the feed points to my fellow alumnus’s review of Faraone 2008 at http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/2008.08.30 but should point to http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/2008/2008-08-30.html.
Not to worry. One can now read and comment on reviews at the BMCR blog at http://www.bmcreview.org/ in a Blogger interface.

BMCR via RSS
Via rogueclassicism, the newest issues of the Bryn Mawr Classical Review will now be available via RSS feed at http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/recent.xml. I used to be a subscriber to the listserv, but I quickly tired of the spam and irate unsubscribe reply-alls. The RSS feed, which nicely contains books’ full titles and bibliographic information, is a vastly superior method of delivery.

Alma mater
The Classics and Archaeology Department at Loyola Marymount held its 2nd Annual Classics and Archaeology Symposium and published video + audio recordings on iTunesU. Among the faculty and undergraduate presenters, I am especially fond and proud of Dr. Matthew Dillon, my metrical father, who won an APA Award for Excellence in the Teaching of the Classics in 2006, and Stephen Blair, an extremely bright and mature student, only a freshman at the time of his talk on Petronius. I taught Stephen Latin 1 in my last summer with CTY in 2003.
