<http://whis.ec2.edu/webcast.html>
A conference grandly titled "The Internet Summit: Focus on Digital Media
Content for Children and Teens" was held June 11-12 in Los Angeles. The
purpose of the conference was to "identify concrete action by private
companies, nonprofit organizations, educators, government, and kids that
will enrich online learning for America's children and teens.
Vice President Gore, according to the report below by the American Library
Association, "encouraged participants to build more public spaces on the
Internet for children such as digital parks, libraries and museums. The
Vice President wishes for students to have 'access to every book ever
printed, every painting ever painted, and every symphony ever composed.'"
The event was sponsored by the Egg Company 2 (EC2, the Annenberg Incubator
Project at the University of Southern California), and the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration at the U.S. Department of
Commerce.
The web site has video and audio archives of ten presentations and panels,
including that of the Vice President, delivered via satellite.

Subject: Langues : Appel ` communication - Call for papers
>> From: Laurent.Romary@loria.fr (Laurent Romary)
CALL FOR PAPERS
We have the pleasure to announce the setting up of a new journal, LANGUES.
This publication, which will mainly publish papers in French and which is
partly financed by AUPELF-UREF, aims to facilitate the dialogue between all
the people who work on or with language, researchers, teachers of French,
etc. It will thus publish papers on various subjects having to do with all
the domains or disciplines related to language: linguistics (phonology,
morphology, lexical semantics, syntax, semantics, pragmatics),
sociolinguistics (social and cultural aspects of language and language use,
linguistic variations, creole studies), applied linguistics (teaching
French as a second language, learning to read), psycholinguistics, language
engineering (automatic understanding, automatic translation, man-machine
dialogue, production, speech analysis, information retrieval, corpus
processing). This is not an exhaustive list.
LANGUE will be accompanied by an online web server where one or
more paper(s) per volume will be accessible, as well as some services,
conference announcements, table of contents for other scientific journals,
new publications, theses, etc. It will also be accompanied by an electronic
mailing list, which will encourage discussions about papers published in
the journal and will allow exchanges on other subjects as well.
LANGUE will issue four volumes a year. The journal will be
published in French, but submitting papers in English is possible. Papers
submitted in English and accepted will be translated in French.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Papers of 20 pages (30 000 characters) at most in the domains
mentioned above or in related domains can be submitted at any time. Papers
