		<title>The Ashokan Farewell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 10th grade, my U.S. history teacher taught our class about the  American Civil War by playing the Ken Burns' documentary, frequently pausing at the salient points to interject other notes of worth.  This approach often lead to digressions about the ills of drunk driving or the dangers getting married before you're thirty, and consequently [...]]]></description>

		<title>Butter the bread with cream cheese</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today in my computational lexical semantics class we were discussing Talmy's Toward a Cognitive Semantics, specifically about Lexicalization Patterns.  At one point in the presentation our presenter spoke to how some verbs undergo "incorporation" wherein they integrate multiple semantic concepts in one verb usage.  For motion events, the semantic concepts include: Figure - object moving [...]]]></description>

		<title>Merantau: a Silat player&#8217;s review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After several months of waiting, I finally saw Merantau[1], an Indonesian language, martial arts flick.  When watching the trailers it was billed as kind  of an Ong Bak, but with Muay Thai swapped for Pencak Silat.  Merantau more than delivered on this premise. In terms of story, Merantau does very little to differentiate itself.  A [...]]]></description>

		<title>Named Entity Recognition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi Wayne, I've been trying to figure out an appropriate information model (most likely XML-based) to correspond to my annotation schema, as I have started to form my notions of how this should look to allow for future expansion, ease of use when annotating, and accessibility for feature extraction, I'm kind of rethinking how annotation [...]]]></description>

		<title>Presenting Pabst Honorable Mention</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) owes much of its resurgence over the past decade to the indie-rock loving, fixed-gear riding, and tight-jean wearing hipsters of America.  Its modest price and old fashioned labeling has resonated well with a crowd looking to display its anti-consumerism and sense of irony at the same time.  However, PBR is starting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Silat Demo at CSU</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's become kind of an annual event for Inner Wave Pencak Silat to do a demonstration at Colorado State University's World Unity Fair. As with all of our demos, the level of planning is fairly minimal. When I first started learning Silat under Daniel, there were only about 3 students. I learned on the day [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obligatory first post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I guess before I can start writing my second and third posts, I need to have a first post.  Unlike SaraAndLee.com which was started as a place to keep guests informed of our wedding plans, and which shifted into a way of telling stories about our time in Indonesia, Ke-LeeBecker-an really has no initial purpose [...]]]></description>
