Top XML : SOAP4VB I decided to call it Kafka since a piece of software without a catchy name isn't as much fun, and I just can't think of any more SOAP puns. For the record, I want to give credit for this idea to Don Box, who proved that you could build an XSL endpoint about a year ago. Five days and little sleep later, I had what looked like the first cut of an XSLT framework for writing SOAP endpoints. www.topxml.com /soapworkshop/utilities/kafka   (797 words)

Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Many historical figures, though not citizens of Germany in the modern sense, were important and influential figures in German culture, such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Kafka and Stefan Zweig. In the annual league of top-ranking universities compiled by Shanghai Jiaotong University in 2004, Germany came 4th overall, but with only 7 universities in the top 100 (to compare, the United States had 51). West Germany benefitted from the American Marshall Plan for the reconstruction of Europe after the war and was a founding state of the European Union. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Germany   (89 words)

Jerry Lewis, Jerry's Orphans and the Telethon: Disability Rag Classics In 1990, MDA had spent $34.6 million on salaries and benefits; its executive Robert Ross received nearly $285,000, making him one of the top paid of all the nation's charity executives. It's precisely because they have such an impact on public perception, says Kafka, that the MDA is the target of activist criticism. Though MDA tries to convince the public that its detractors are simply jealous of the fundraising group's success, says Kafka, activists' real anger, he thinks, is at the group's success in projecting images into mainstream America -- images activists hate. www.raggededgemagazine.com /archive/jerry92.htm   (3312 words)

Tucson Weekly : currents : Hard Workin' Women Williamson was voted Tucson's top songwriter and upcoming artist (even though she has been performing since the 1970s) while her recent album, Love Is Best of All, got the nod as top new release. Although Williamson spent much of the '70s and '80s as a folk-jazz guitarist and singer-songwriter in Jerome, Ariz., and various locales overseas, Williamson's day gig now is as a criminal defense attorney, and she keeps her office in a guesthouse in the backyard at the couple's home. This past March, they were in Spain (during the outbreak of war in Iraq, as it happened), where Otey did a week at Café Central, one of the premiere jazz clubs in Madrid. www.tucsonweekly.com /gbase/currents/Content?oid=oid:47411   (2651 words)

TIME Asia Magazine: It's Raining Sardines -- Feb. 07, 2005 Haruki Murakami's novel Kafka on the Shore is a sublimely weird, compulsively readable blockbuster Also present is Johnnie Walker (of whisky fame, in tails and top hat), who kills felines to make flutes from their souls, and Colonel Sanders (the fried-chicken guy, in white suit and string tie), who moonlights as a back-alley pimp and supernatural fixer. More than previous Murakami novels, Kafka embraces nearly the entire Western canon, with learned digressions on Beethoven, Schubert, Chekhov, T.S. Eliot and pantheons of ancient Greeks. www.time.com /time/asia/magazine/article/0,13673,501050207-1022646,00.html   (872 words)

Aniston tops Forbes celebrity list - Movie-List Forums "By dollar value, Britney did not have a big album or a big tour, the proponents that usually land celebrities on the list," said Kafka. Rounding out the top ten were movie director Steven Spielberg (4), ex-Beatle Paul McCartney (6), Oprah Winfrey (8), Tom Hanks (9) and The Rolling Stones (10). She was also photographed flipping off the paparazzi in Mexico after refusing to go on stage in a rain storm, while photos in the New York Post of her smoking also worked to tarnish her good-girl image. www.movie-list.com /forum/showthread.php?t=5790   (525 words)

BBC NEWS Entertainment Aniston tops celebrity power list Forbes editor Peter Kafka said Aniston's top placing was a surprise but the continued popularity of Friends and her performances in films such as the Good Girl had boosted her credentials.

The Golem, by Gustav Meyrink He is a little Dostoevsky mixed with some Kafka, combined with Meyrink's interests in the occult. Over the top, what happens at 330am, this golem is better than Tolkien's silly creature.

Trial, The DVD Review - Time Out Film The film pits an incredulous, almost self-righteous individual against the absurdist machinations of an institutionalised (in)justice system gone mad, and grounds events in authentic Prague locations and 1912 period detail, yet the result boxes in the parameters of Kafka's imagination. A cavalcade of top British thesps do, however, come up with the goods (Hopkins' oppressive priest, Stevenson as K's enigmatic neighbour). The annual Time Out Film Guide includes 15,000 films reviewed over the last 36 years by Time Out critics, covering every area of cinema: Hollywood mainstream and B-movie horrors, documentaries and avant garde, French, Far Eastern, classic silents and 1930s comedies. www.timeout.com /film/dvd.php?id=66897&redirect=true   (468 words)

Adrian Lyne's (Lolita, Fatal Attraction), Jacobs Ladder is a Kafka-like drama about a man who has lost all capacity for telling what is reality and what isn't.

Windows on the World - Frédéric Beigbeder Unfortunately, Beigbeder has chosen to intersperse this intriguing narrative with something more risky: an imaginative re-creation of the events at the top of the north tower. Beigbeder, perhaps understandably, treads warily; regrettably he appears to have gone so far as to tone down the English-language version. Beigbeder doesn't help matters with his father-figure, the improbably named (though the explanation eventually provided does excuse the choice) Carthew Yorston. www.complete-review.com /reviews/modfr/beigbef1.htm   (15797 words)

Beigbeder doesn't help matters with his father-figure, the improbably named (though the explanation eventually provided does excuse the choice) Carthew Yorston. One of the problems with writing such a fiction is, as the author points out in his opening sentence: "You know how it ends: everybody dies." It's not so much a problem for the reader, who isn't expecting anything else, but it is for the novelist, who is working with the inevitable. www.complete-review.com /reviews/modfr/beigbef1.htm   (1826 words)

Guardian Unlimited Books Authors Coetzee, JM Kafka is a strong influence; Coetzee has revisited authors of the past, rewriting Robinson Crusoe as Foe from the female castaway's point of view and reimagining Dostoevsky in The Master of Petersburg.

The Kafka Effect by D. Harlan Wilson (Trade Paperback) The Kafka Effekt is D. Harlan Wilson’s debut book, a collection of forty-four short stories loosely written in the vein of Franz Kafka, with more than a pinch of William S. Burroughs sprinkled on top. The Kafka Effect by D. Harlan Wilson (Trade Paperback) Absurd, intelligent, funny and scatological, Wilson turns reality inside out and exposes it as a grotesque, nightmarish machine that is always-already processing the human subject, who struggles to break free from the machine, but who at the same time revels in its subjugation. www.clarkesworld.com /books/details.php?id=0971357218   (506 words)

DVDBeaver.com - DVD Review - David O. Russell's " I Heart Huckabees " 20th Century Fox - Region 1 - NTSC David O. Russell really goes over the top in this one, and despite what you might hear elsewhere, he manages to make it all work. There are quite a few inside jokes with regards to the writings of Kafka, Hegel, Freud, Plato, Sartre, and Lacan that I found simply hilarious. Jason Schwartzman plays an environmental activist, loosely based on a young O. Russell, and Mark Whalberg plays his 9/11 inspired Other, a petroleum obsessed firefighter who upon arriving on the scene of a fire decides to take to watering a neglected lawn rather than putting out the fire. www.dvdbeaver.com /film/DVDReviews9/i-heart-huckabees.htm   (418 words)

Boston.com / A&E / Theater/Arts / Williamstown director search nears end They are eagerly, if not anxiously, seeking a replacement for the producing director, Michael Ritchie, who announced last October that he would leave his full-time festival duties at the end of this summer, and would take over the top job at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles in January 2005. Instead of "Three Sisters," the ART will mount "Amerika," associate artistic director Gideon Lester's translation and adaptation of the Franz Kafka novel, in association with Théâtre de la Jeune Lune, the Minneapolis-based physical theater company that co-produced "The Miser" with the ART last season. The ART, whose 2004-2005 season opens Nov. 27 with "The Provok'd Wife," directed by Mark Wing -Davey, has moved its production of "Three Sisters," scheduled to wrap up the company lineup late next spring, to the 2005-2006 season. www.boston.com /ae/theater_arts/articles/2004/09/10/williamstown_director_search_nears_end   (418 words)

Sinding Paper Dante's allegory relies on the Christian mythology that has already mapped out the universe as a scale from hell and damnation at the bottom up to heaven and salvation at the top, and populated it with resident spirits and souls of the dead. I expect there would be broad consensus that core allegories have allegorical protagonists, a full roster of allegorical characters, and scenes of fully allegorical landscapes, "props", talk and events, (insured against misprision by topical nametags), all the way through the narrative (in narrative forms), with systematic correspondences to a single dominant topic space. This fits one of the defining facts of allegory, that language, imagery and inferential structure are not transferred from source to target, but rather may come from any of the blend's spaces (with a bias for contributions from the topic space). www3.sympatico.ca /knight.sinding/acla/sinding.htm   (9085 words)
