But the peace-making resources of ancient religious and tribal traditions offer the only way to heal the wounds he has inflicted. Kony 2012 and the politics of retribution Over the past six weeks, the world (almost literally) has witnessed the phenomenon of Kony 2012, the internet video that has now garnered over 100 million hits.

Catholic peacebuilding: a personal view from Colombia (Part 2)
16 Apr 2012 | 9:48 amCHRISTIAN WLASCHÜTZ I am further drawn to reflect on the insights of Peacebuilding: Catholic Theology, Ethics, and Praxis when I think of another conflict zone in the Magdalena Medio region, the southern part of the department of Bolivar. This zone is characterized by vast gold resources that have attracted several armed actors: traditionally the ELN guerrilla and, from the 1990s, the paramilitary forces.

A second set of resources it offers could be called ideational resources — ideals, attitudes, beliefs, and values that have a long-standing, habitual nature because of their cultivation, whether intentional or unintentional, in various institutional settings. Here, the classic example of how ideas or values contribute to economic outcomes is Weber’s argument, in…

What the ESL Classes Taught Me
30 Apr 2012 | 10:56 amby Hyewon Yun, Korea Writer David Sedaris said that he felt like the “the lowest life form” while he was discussing on NPR his humiliating experiences of learning French in Paris. The statement might be extreme, but it does hold some truth. I worked as a translator back in Korea, and helped many English-speaking business people and professionals communicate with their Korean counterparts in mutual interactions. My best efforts to change one language into another failed me sometimes because as foreigners, English speakers could not fully understand what was going on without a basic… -
My Trip to Appalachia
5 Apr 2012 | 3:24 pmby Tara Lucian, USA Every fall and spring break the Center for Social Concerns hosts seminars throughout Appalachia, a region of the United States that surrounds the Appalachian Mountains and includes counties in 13 different states. This region is one of the poorest in the United States, with some of the highest levels of unemployment and lowest levels of education. The people you meet in Appalachia are usually very different than the people you will meet at Notre Dame; they have different backgrounds, expectations for the future, and perspectives on life. There are some similarities… -
The University for Me
5 Apr 2012 | 3:20 pmby Yiwei Shen, China My name is Yiwei Shen and I originally come from China. My hometown Chengdu is located in the southwest of China. The weather in Chengdu is so different from here. We have endless cloudy days and are always expecting the precious blue sky. It’s so exciting to have plenty of sunshine here! In addition, Chengdu is said to be a city that “teaches you how to waste your time correctly” and “you never want to leave once you come.” It is a place with a slow and pleasant pace, resulting in satisfaction about life. At Notre Dame, I live in Lewis Hall and I find it a… -
We’re All Irish
7 Mar 2012 | 12:23 pmby Tanya Alconcel, Hawaii, U.S.A Leaving my home state of Hawaii to come to Notre Dame was the biggest culture shock of my life, which isn’t something you might expect since Hawaii is still part of the U.S. But the environment, the people, and the culture at Notre Dame was completely different from island life. Although it was extremely disconcerting at first, I think it was my curiosity and excitement of being in a new place, experiencing a new culture, and meeting new people, that helped me overcome my initial fear and thrive in this new environment. I stepped out of my comfort zone… -
Fiestang Filipino: A Club’s Annual Song to its Beloved Culture
28 Feb 2012 | 1:02 amHaving participated in FASO’s signature event, Fiestang Filipino (see this interview from my freshman year ), the entire time that I’ve been an undergrad, it was a bittersweet experience taking my final bow at the Stepan Center this past Saturday. I look back at the last four iterations and manifestations of the annual dinner-dance/culture show/party, and remember the great effort and exposure it means for both Filipinos and lovers of Filipino culture at the University. The themes have changed (2011 and 2012 , for example) and the particular personalities and challenges…

E-Reading: A Colloquium at the University of Toronto
26 Apr 2012 | 1:58 pmOn Saturday, March 31 I presented and attended a colloquium (E-Reading: A Colloquium at the University of Toronto) on the topic of e-reading, and I am documenting the experience because writing — the other half of reading — literally transcends space and time. In a sentence, my Toronto experience feed my body, my heart, and my mind. Sponsored by a number of groups (The Collaborative Program in Book History and Print Culture, the Toronto Centre for the Book, the Toronto Review of Books, and Massey College) the event was divided into three sections: 1) E-Reader Response, 2) The… -
Summarizing the state of the Catholic Youth Literature Project
29 Mar 2012 | 3:43 pmThis posting summarizes the purpose, process, and technical infrastructure behind the Catholic Youth Literature Project. In a few sentences, the purpose was two-fold: 1) to enable students to learn what it meant to be Catholic during the 19th century, and 2) to teach students the value of reading “closely” as well as from a “distance”. The process of implementing the Project required the time and skills of a diverse set of individuals. The technical infrastructure is built on a large set of open source software, and the interface is far from perfect. Purpose The… -

Emotional Intelligence
22 Feb 2012 | 1:23 pmThis is sort of like a travelogue — a description of what I learned by attending a workshop here at Notre Dame on the topic of emotional intelligence. In a sentence, emotional intelligence begins with self-awareness, moves through self-management to control impulses, continues with social awareness and the ability to sense the emotions of others, and matures with relationship management used to inspire and manage conflict. The purpose of the workshop — attended by approximately thirty people and sponsored by the University’s Human Resources Department — was to make…

Last Pre-Ride Workout
16 May 2012 | 8:34 amThis morning I had my last Wednesday workout session at Knollwood with my early morning workout buddies and Kellie the instructor. I started to take it easy this week and not push as hard as I have been for the last several weeks. I need to rest up a bit but still need to exercise to keep my body strong. The group came out and signed the van when we finished this morning! The van looks terrific. Brittany and Tim at AgencyND did a fabulous job with the design. My buddies were all impressed and had lots of wonderful things to say about the van. And of course, Marty and Facilities have… -
Training at Knollwood
12 May 2012 | 8:36 amWell, I am on my last leg of heavy workouts. Yesterday, Kellie trained me with this 100-90-80….10 reps exercise – 100 squat jumps, 90 sit ups, 80 squats with weights, 70 pull ups (brutal), and so on. I had some trouble waking up today, as I could not lift my arms from all of the pull-ups. Bright and early this morning, Tom trained me. I was in bungee cords running up a hill while he pulled me back – pretty intense. I started off the morning with a run, 2 hours of spinning, 30 minutes of intense training with Tom, and then Piloxing with Jessica. I am not sure what… -
Parseghian Classic for NPC Research
10 May 2012 | 3:09 pmAt the end of my ride we are hosting a golf fundraiser, the Parseghian Classic for NPC Research, June 22-24 in Pebble Beach, California. The Parseghian Classic is a three-night event with dinners, receptions and rounds of golf on The Links at Spanish Bay and Pebble Beach Golf Links. A few weeks ago, I had the chance to golf on a course near Denver. It has been years since I golfed!

My lessons have been with Jason and… -
Workouts
7 May 2012 | 7:56 amMy workouts at Knollwood Country Club with Kellie have been pretty strenuous. I know I’ll be grateful for them when I head up the really difficult leg of this summer’s trip, the Rocky Mountains. Usually I start workouts at 4:30 or 5:00 a.m. – carrying weights up a hill, running down, sprinting up, and so forth. Some days, it does not seem to end. Other workouts involve weights and step-ups – and step-ups – and more step-ups. To top it off, we do the exercises in the pool area, which simulates the hot, humid summer days we will face when we bike across Utah and Nevada. It’s… -
Gearing up for the big ride!
4 May 2012 | 3:45 pmToday at Knollwood Country Club (KCC), I worked on indoor spinning with a big group that showed up bright and early in the morning. The instructor, Greg, had us do different types of interval training on the bike. We always watch Tour de France movies to help motivate us during class – climbing, speed trails, and fast downhills often make being on a stationary bike more bearable. It is great to have such supportive friends at KCC. It’s amazing what spinning – some people call it studio cycling – can do for you. If you have never spun before on a static bike, this is a great way…

Am I addicted to my mobile phone?
25 Apr 2012 | 3:43 pminfographic via hackcollege.com I’ve been thinking a lot about mobile recently. Maybe it was the redesign of nd.edu. Maybe it was recent 2012 Notre Dame Mobile Summit. But I think it’s more of the fact that I can’t be anywhere without my cell. Seriously, when it’s on the charger I’m lost. I don’t know what to do. It’s my email – my constant connection to the office. It’s my calendar – I don’t know where to go without it. It’s my weatherman – Who watches TV for the weather, I have my own radar at wunderground. -
Introducing the new ND.edu

My group, University Communications, had recently been merged with University Relations after our vice president and associate vice president of Marketing Communications had moved on. I agreed with him. This was back in January. Actually, I know it was Jan 11 because I tweeted about it. Gotta love my tweeted memory We had just launched a new design that pass July. I understood him. The new nd.edu was great – clean design, dropped the flash… -
Is SEO dying? Nope, but you better have social as well.

If you listen to the guys at Marketing Over Coffee (Christopher S. Penn and John Wall – love these guys), they are saying it’s not enough anymore. You need to have social as part of the mix. You need a network of people that will spread your message along. The other interesting tidbit is how Google is changing search for more… -
Should my college or school or program be on Linkedin? Yes, it should.
16 Mar 2012 | 1:03 pmI recently met with a gentleman from Linkedin who was interested in helping the university advertise on the business social network. Personally, I’m a big fan of Linkedin. I think it’s how a lot of business networking gets done because you can do it at any time. Instead of cold calling companies, you can reach out through the people you know who might know someone working at the company. You can also find out a lot about a company. That’s why we have our Linkedin presence for the University of Notre Dame. But the problem is that we can’t list out every great…

On Being a Lightning Rod
27 Apr 2012 | 12:04 pmThe Gathering Storm Thus far, I’ve avoided following much of the drama in the Ruby and Rails community. The Rails community prides itself on opinionated software, which naturally lends itself to drama. During DHH’s keynote at Railsconf 2012, it felt to me that he was attempting to draw fire away from the other members of the Rails core. Regardless of intention, I believe he has it right. Let the creator of Rails, our flag bearer, be the lightning rod. During the Rails Panel session, one of the attendees asked about the Github issues count. At the time, there were 840 open issues. That is… -
Planning for a Big Update That Should go Unnoticed
17 Apr 2012 | 8:37 amTwo weeks ago, the end of life for Ruby 1.8.7 was announced. This affects several of the applications that I work on – in particular Conductor. About a year and a half ago, I began the process of updating Conductor to Ruby 1.9, but the update was less than smooth. There were several libraries that I was dependent on that were not yet updated. I would love to have helped update several of these libraries, but my time is finite, and I’ve gotta keep the trains running. So I waited. And this past week, I decided it was time. I spent about three days running my tests and fixing… -
Shooting the Trouble
9 Feb 2012 | 9:18 amYesterday, Conductor users began reporting errors with the Paste functionality of the CKEditor, the rich text editor used by Conductor. The problem manifested on some browsers, but not all – Chrome 17 appeared immune, but there were reports of problems from Firefox 3.6, IE 9, IE 8, Chrome 16. <Quasi-Religious-Diatribe> I loathe, despise, and detest Paste from Word for HTML content. It just doesn’t work well. You would never rely on Google Translate or Babelfish to convert your English brochure to Spanish and then give that brochure to native Spanish speakers. Did you… -
HTML Emails Inserting Spaces in Odd Locations
26 Jan 2012 | 8:31 amAbout two weeks ago, my team received a report of a problem in one of our system generated emails. A small handful of the words in longer paragraphs were being split. For example, there was a long paragraph (200 words or so), and the word “condition” was split into “condit ion” – a strange problem but one related to a previously discovered limitation in the venerable yet pervasive sendmail program which we used for delivering the emails. The Challenge Sendmail splits long lines after the 998th character. It does this by adding a carriage return (like hitting…

The Archaeology and Ethics course explores the ethical, legal, and practical dimensions of modern archaeology. Our focus for this trip was to ethically consider the design of the museum galleries, engage with the concept of museum collections (how they are generated and subsequently presented to the public, for example), consider what kind of archaeological knowledge they are presenting and ethically evaluate the implications of these kinds of… -

Tears in the Fence review In Slow Woods

The book, In Slow Woods, was published by Rufus Books last year, and given a fine launch here at the London Centre. The reviewer, Valeria Melchioretti, writes: “these poems have the smooth, airy, orderly elegance one might associate with a school of silver birches in the Russian Plain come midwinter.” “Gregory displays a similar approach to economising language as say H.D. or William Carlos Williams.”… -

Stepping Into History: the Dublin Cleats and the Fighting Irish

It is about what the cleats, and more properly, the colors, mean. For, when the Fighting Irish walk out onto the pitch at Aviva Stadium, they will write another chapter in the history of the F/fighting Irish in Dublin. The last time Notre Dame and Navy squared off in Dublin, they played at Croke Park, home of the Gaelic Games and scene of 1920's Bloody Sunday. Hours… -

It Ain’t Easy Being Green

I had just witnessed a total transformation in Notre Dame football: a near upset of USC, a BCS birth, and confidence from the entire team bursting through that 2006 was going to be a title run. It was quite a far cry from the team I had started working with under Ty to say the least. To add to my excitement, the guest speaker was none other than Lou Holtz. Lou preformed just as you would expect, fantastic, excited about ND football and its bright future. During that speech, he uttered the following quote that has stuck with me ever since:… -

Friday Roundup: The “Let’s Just Ban Everything” Edition
11 May 2012 | 5:00 amGuess it's over, y'all, college football should be banned. I'm not even sure exactly where to start on the absurdity of this debate. Maybe it's because the arguments support of college football somehow devolved into calling upon patriotism ("college football is the Statue of Liberty") and using ad hominem attacks ("[this argument] is being argued by well-intentioned people who don't clearly understand the sport"). Maybe it's because the arguments for the banning were built entirely of straw-men. T. Boone Pickens would clearly throw his money around to other non-revenue sports without…
