Skip to comments.Iranian Alert - October 14, 2004 [EST]- IRAN LIVE THREAD - "Americans for Regime Change in Iran"
Posted on 10/13/2004 10:15:33 PM PDT by DoctorZIn
The US media still largely ignores news regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran. As Tony Snow of the Fox News Network has put it, this is probably the most under-reported news story of the year. As a result, most Americans are unaware that the Islamic Republic of Iran is NOT supported by the masses of Iranians today. Modern Iranians are among the most pro-American in the Middle East. In fact they were one of the first countries to have spontaneous candlelight vigils after the 911 tragedy (see photo).
There is a popular revolt against the Iranian regime brewing in Iran today. I began these daily threads June 10th 2003. On that date Iranians once again began taking to the streets to express their desire for a regime change. Today in Iran, most want to replace the regime with a secular democracy.
The regime is working hard to keep the news about the protest movement in Iran from being reported. Unfortunately, the regime has successfully prohibited western news reporters from covering the demonstrations. The voices of discontent within Iran are sometime murdered, more often imprisoned. Still the people continue to take to the streets to demonstrate against the regime.
In support of this revolt, Iranians in America have been broadcasting news stories by satellite into Iran. This 21st century news link has greatly encouraged these protests. The regime has been attempting to jam the signals, and locate the satellite dishes. Still the people violate the law and listen to these broadcasts. Iranians also use the Internet and the regime attempts to block their access to news against the regime. In spite of this, many Iranians inside of Iran read these posts daily to keep informed of the events in their own country.
This daily thread contains nearly all of the English news reports on Iran. It is thorough. If you follow this thread you will witness, I believe, the transformation of a nation. This daily thread provides a central place where those interested in the events in Iran can find the best news and commentary. The news stories and commentary will from time to time include material from the regime itself. But if you read the post you will discover for yourself, the real story of what is occurring in Iran and its effects on the war on terror.
I am not of Iranian heritage. I am an American committed to supporting the efforts of those in Iran seeking to replace their government with a secular democracy. I am in contact with leaders of the Iranian community here in the United States and in Iran itself.
If you read the daily posts you will gain a better understanding of the US war on terrorism, the Middle East and why we need to support a change of regime in Iran. Feel free to ask your questions and post news stories you discover in the weeks to come.
If all goes well Iran will be free soon and I am convinced become a major ally in the war on terrorism. The regime will fall. Iran will be free. It is just a matter of time.
The topic: "Senator Kerry and the Islamic regime influence on US elections."
The world will be watching this potentially explosive Press Conference scheduled to take place on Thursday October 14, 2004, from 09:15 AM at the Washington DC's National Press Club located at 529 14th Street NW Washington, DC 20045.
Joining SMCCDI are two journalists: Insight Magazine's Kenneth Timmerman and the author of the bestselling "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry," Dr. Jerome Corsi who is writing a book based on the Kerry-Namazee nexus.
The press conference will be of interest to all those following the 2004 elections and the events in Iran.

New York Sun Staff Editorial
October 13, 2004
The press is full of trial balloons with respect to proposals for Europe or America to offer "incentives" for Iran agreeing to stop work on a nuclear weapon. The New York Times reported yesterday that "The package would lift a ban on exports to Iran of certain badly needed civilian aircraft parts, without which its fleet of civilian airliners has been virtually grounded."
One of the lessons of September 11 is that civilian aircraft in the hands of terrorists can do considerable damage. This is a point so obvious that it is painful to have to point it out. On what grounds does an officially designated terrorist regime get help from their target countries in flying civilian airliners? If the Europeans who are negotiating with the Iranians do not grasp this essential point, certainly the people of New York do.
Beyond that, it will be important in considering any proposed deal with Iran to focus on the fact that Iran's nuclear ambitions are not at the heart of America's dispute with Tehran. After all, India, Pakistan, Israel, and France all have nuclear weapons and America has full diplomatic and economic relations with them. There are a host of other issues on the table with Iran: its human rights record that includes executing a Canadian journalist, jailing student dissidents, and persecuting Jews, among others; its financial and logistical support for radical Islamist terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah that engage in suicide bombing attacks in Israel that kill Americans and Israelis; its harboring of Al Qaeda terrorists; and its aid to anti-American forces in Iraq.
Even were a deal reached in which the Iranians promised progress on all those fronts, there is no guarantee that the Iranians would not cheat on such a deal. Iraq cheated on its United Nations-supervised oil-for-food and disarmament arrangement. North Korea cheated on the nuclear disarmament deal that it cut with an overly credulous Clinton administration.
It is true that diplomacy is more likely to be successful when it is backed, as it is in the Bush administration, with a credible threat of the use of force. But count us as skeptical that America or its allies should send nuclear fuel or civilian airplane parts or anything else useful to Iran - other than aid to its democratic opposition - so long as the regime there is aiding and harboring terrorists and oppressing internal opposition.
Senator Kerry is on record as preferring a negotiated approach to the Persian problem. President Bush himself has been too willing to countenance a European approach. On the campaign trail, Mr. Bush has said of the terrorists, "You can't negotiate with them." This would be an excellent moment for the president and his diplomats to keep that in mind.

An Iranian-American human rights group says the Iranian government has stepped up its campaign against pro-democracy dissidents, women and minorities with the staging of some 120 public hangings, and the arrest and imprisonment of more than 40 journalists. Members of the National Coalition of Pro-Democracy Advocates say that in the past year, the Islamic fundamentalist regime has been taking extreme measures to silence reform efforts.
The non-profit group cites as evidence of the government's tactics an Amnesty International report of the public execution of a 16-year-old girl for "acts incompatible with chastity." Atefeh Rajabi was reportedly hanged in the Northern city center of Neka on August 15.
Iranian authorities have also detained journalist and rights advocate Emadeddin Baghi and seized his passport at Tehran airport. As a result, Mr. Baghi is unable to come to New York this week to accept an award for civil courage.
Haydar Akbari is president of the National Coalition. He says human rights violations have increased since Iran's Islamic hardliners won control of the 290-member parliament by a landslide in the February 2004 elections.
"They closed the whole atmosphere of freedom regarding even the freedom of clothing and scarves, freedom of music, CDs, DVDs," he said. "The atmosphere is totally different from last year. Since January, more than 100 people were openly hanged, and many journalists, many writers, many intellectuals have been imprisoned and tortured."
Mohammed Alafchi, president of the New York Iranian-American Association, says that as the United Nations' General Assembly begins its sessions, his organization is trying to bring media attention to the escalation of human rights abuses.
"The hardliners are grabbing all the powers from all different parts of the country and they are consolidating their powers, and they are stepping up their campaign against any freedom that people have," he added.
Last November, a key United Nations committee approved a Canadian-drafted resolution rebuking Iran for human rights abuses, including torture, suppression of free speech and discrimination against women and minorities.
VOA was unable to get a response to the coalition's charges from the Iranian mission to the United Nations. But in the past, spokesmen for the Iranian government have routinely rejected such criticism, saying it fully supports the human rights of its citizens.
ALTHOUGH its desire to spread hard-line Islam abroad has waned somewhat since the Khomeni revolution a quarter century ago, Iran remains an ideological state. But apart from Islam, it is the Shia doctrine that defines Irans religious leadership and its worldview.
Before 9/11 and its immediate aftermath altered the regional balance of power irrevocably, Iran was well placed to project its influence beyond its borders. It was arming and funding the Shia Hazaras and Ahmed Shah Masood in their resistance against the Sunni Taleban in Afghanistan. Shia Muslims in Central Asia were being given scholarships to study theology in Irans seminaries, and Shia armed groups in Pakistan were being helped by Teheran in their fight against Sunni extremists.
In Iraq, the only other Muslim country with a Shia majority, the ayatollahs were content to play a waiting game, secure in the knowledge that Saddam Hussein, weakened after a decade of sanctions, no longer posed a threat. They had mended fences with the Gulf States, and were gradually becoming more acceptable to the West.
With 9/11 and the consequent American-led attack and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, Iran was suddenly encircled by the worlds sole superpower. Worse, its President had branded the country one of the axis of evil together with Syria and North Korea.
But the invasion of Iraq brought opportunities as well as dangers for Iran. For the first time since Iraqs creation after the First World War, the majority Shia population was in a position to gain power. Teheran understood that if it played its cards right, it could wield enormous influence in Baghdad after the Americans left.
Basically, Ayatollah Khamanei seems to have decided to proceed along two tracks. The first track has the firebrand Shia leader Moqtada al-Sadr leading his Mahdi army in an armed insurrection against the American occupiers. The idea is to make Iraq virtually ungovernable, forcing the Americans into an early exit. The second track consists of encouraging Grand Ayatollah Sistani, the hugely respected Iraqi cleric, to consolidate his power among the Shia community.
This policy is based on the expectation of a Shia majority in any reasonably fair Iraqi election. While the Americans are trying to finesse this possibility through safeguards for the Kurdish and Sunni minorities, it is a matter of time before Teherans waiting game pays off.
Should a Shia-dominated Iraq emerge from the embers of the Gulf War, it can be expected to cooperate closely with Iran. While the seniority of its hierarchy of ayatollahs would give it considerable independence, the two countries would consult closely on a wide range of matters from oil prices to diplomacy.
Close ties between the worlds only two Shia countries would make for a formidable alliance. Given their oil and gas reserves, as well as their land mass and literate populations, they would dominate the region, and pose a major threat to American and Israeli interests.
The current expressions of alarm over Irans nuclear programme should be seen in the context of the Wests growing concern at Teherans ambitions in Iraq. Similarly, its continuing improvement of the range and accuracy of its missiles is giving it the means to project its power far beyond its borders.
But this overt muscle flexing is making it vulnerable to a joint pre-emptive strike by Israeli and American forces. Although its nuclear and missile-related assets are scattered and hidden, they are not completely immune. If the Americans can obtain a UN resolution based on the IAEA findings that Iran is in breach of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, they can justify military action.
Thus, Iran may be in danger of overplaying its hand. If it waits patiently, the sheer demographic realities in Iraq virtually assure it of a major say in that country, together with the strategic and economic implications that flow from Shia rule in Iraq. If, however, it continues to exert pressure on the Americans through Moqtada Al Sadr and his Mahdi army, while also defying world opinion by acquiring nuclear arms, it will be risking all its gains on one roll of the dice.
The ongoing negotiated disarming of the Mahdi army is a subtle sign that Teherans ayatollahs understand the stakes. They are aware that they and their fellow Shias in Iraq would be the biggest losers if the January elections were disrupted through violence.
In the post-9/11 world, nuclear proliferation is a tough sell. Iran can ill afford a confrontation with the worlds sole superpower on an issue that isolates it, as none of its neighbours are happy with the thought of militant clerics with a nuclear arsenal. After the American elections, no matter who wins, the pressure on Teheran to roll back its uranium enrichment programme can only mount. The fact is that it is difficult to believe the official claim that Irans nuclear programme is entirely peaceful and is aimed at overcoming the countrys power shortage.
All too often, revolutionaries miscalculate the reaction of pragmatic leaders to their actions. The ayatollahs in Teheran should try and put themselves in Bush and Sharons place: the former will not accept Irans dominance over the worlds biggest oil-producing region, while the latter would never countenance its sworn enemys possession of nuclear warheads and the missiles to deliver them.
There are times when it pays to tread softly, specially when you live in a rough neighbourhood.Irfan Husain is a Pakistani political analyst
TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran made Europe an offer Tuesday: Stop pressuring us on nuclear energy and we'll guarantee not to make a bomb. European and U.S. governments were discussing an alternate proposal -- to buy Iran out of its nuclear ambitions.
Teheran's offer was not new, but given UN pressure on Iran to stop work on enriching uranium and a bill in parliament aimed at intensify such work, it came at a vital moment.
"The time has come for Europe to take a step forward and suggest that our legitimate right for complete use of nuclear energy is recognized [in return for] assurances that our program will not be diverted toward weapons," Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said.
The offer is unlikely, however, to ease international pressure on Iran. A senior U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Iran was already obliged by the International Atomic Energy Agency to stop uranium enrichment.
Keep it comming!

News Advisory:
When the Student Movement Coordinating Committee for Democracy in Iran (SMCCDI) -- http://www.daneshjoo.org/generalnews/article/publish/article_8640.shtml -- and its coordinator, Aryo Pirouznia, uncovered evidence that totalitarian Iran's American propagandists were channeling hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Kerry campaign, SMCCDI shouted it from the cyber mountain tops. The Kerry Campaign is now desperately trying to distance itself from one of its Iranian-American "Trustees" and his highly questionable lawsuit against SMCCDI.
These propagandists know that the best defense is a good offense, and Hassan Nemazee filed a $10 million suit against SMCCDI and Pirouznia in Texas in March and immediately adopted a strategy of delay until after the presidential elections. Perhaps because it knows the suit would embarrass the Democrat nominee, Nemazee has sought to postpone if not avoid answering questions about his suit in a deposition. Thanks to a counter-suit, faith in democracy, and a clear-headed judge in Texas who refused the delay, SMCCDI is going public with the evidence.
Joining SMCCDI are two journalists: Insight Magazine's Kenneth Timmerman and the author of the bestselling "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry," Dr. Jerome Corsi -- http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0895260174/104-0642313-4295949 -- who is writing a book based on the Kerry-Namazee nexus.
Corsi, Timmerman, SMCCDI, and their legal counsel will hold a press conference, "The current Iranian Regime's Influence on Senator John Kerry's Presidential Campaign," -- http://www.regimeinfluence.com/ -- at the National Press Club on Thursday, October 14, 9:15 AM, in the First Amendment Room on the 13th floor.
The event is scheduled to be satellite uplinked for US-based TV and radio networks. Those interested must call 214-906-8181, on Wednesday, in order to obtain the downlink references or to check the SMCCDI's Website -- http://www.daneshjoo.org ("Public Statements" section).
Key statements by the Kerry Campaign on Iran
Before the Council on Foreign Relations in December 2003, Kerry announced "As president, I will be prepared early on to explore areas of mutual interest with Iran, just as I was prepared to normalize relations with Vietnam a decade ago."
Then the Kerry Campaign sent out an email that somehow made its way to the government-controlled Mehr News Agency in Tehran, where it was trumpeted as evidence of his resolve to patch things up with the mullahs. "It is in the urgent interests of the people of the United States," the message read, "to restore our country's credibility in the eyes of the world. America needs the kind of leadership that will repair alliances with countries on every continent that have been so damaged in the past few years, as well as build new friendships and overcome tensions with others."
Kerry's senior foreign affairs advisor, Rand Beers, confirmed the message was genuine, saying: "I have no idea how they got hold of that letter, which was prepared for Democrats Abroad. I scratched my head when I saw that. The only way they could have gotten it was if someone in Iran was with Democrats Abroad." (R. Beers' statement was made in an interview with K. Timmerman which was published by Insight Magazine on March 1, 2004.)
Then in the first Presidential Debate Kerry said, "I think the United States should have offered the opportunity to provide the nuclear fuel, test them, see whether or not they were actually looking for it for peaceful purposes."
Statement by Hassan Nemazee at AIC Fundraiser
Hassan Nemazee spoke at an American Iranian Council (see page 6) dinner declaring that the AIC "does not attempt to explain or rationalize the position of the government of Iran, nor does it attempt to do so for the government of the United States. Its mission is to educate both sides and to attempt to establish the basis and the vehicle for a dialogue which will ultimately lead to a resumption of relations." (Nemazee's statement was made on June 1, 2002, at the San Francisco Ritz-Carlton Hotel in presence of Sen. Kerry during an AIC event organized for boosting relations with the Mullahs' regime).
If Kerry registered any protest against this assertion that the United States should normalize relations with one of the worlds bloodiest dictatorships, it was not recorded.

Tehran John: Pro-Iranian lobby funding Kerry
Whistleblowers disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars given candidate

Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been given to Kerry from the pro-Iranian lobby, possibly influencing the presidential candidate's startling call to provide Tehran with the nuclear fuel it seeks, according to Iran's Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy chairman Aryo Pirouznia.
With top Iranian officials openly calling for the development of nuclear weapons within the next four months and overwhelming intelligence indicating Iran is seeking to create a nuclear arsenal, Kerry has been insisting as president he would provide Tehran with nuclear fuel as long as it is used for peaceful purposes only, a position that has many Middle East analysts baffled.
During the first presidential debate, Kerry said, "I think the United States should have offered the opportunity to provide the nuclear fuel, test them, see whether or not they were actually looking for it for peaceful purposes."
The same policy of accommodation toward Iran's nuclear aspirations is clearly outlined on Kerry's campaign website as well.
Under the heading: "Prevent Iran From Developing Nuclear Weapons," the Kerry campaign states: "Iran claims that its nuclear program is only to meet its domestic energy needs. John Kerry's proposal would call their bluff by organizing a group of states to offer Iran the nuclear fuel they need for peaceful purposes and take back the spent fuel so they cannot divert it to build a weapon. If Iran does not accept this offer, their true motivations will be clear ..."
Pirouznia, who is holding a press conference in Washington, D.C., this morning, is disclosing the details of Kerry's financial ties to backers of the mullah government in Iran that have been seeking to moderate America's harsh line with regard to Tehran's nuclear aspirations.
Most prominent among them is Hassan Nemazee, 54, an investment banker based in New York who has joined the board of the American-Iranian Council, a U.S. lobbying group that consistently has supported lifting U.S. sanctions on Iran and accommodating the Tehran regime. Nemazee has raised more than $100,000 for the senator's campaign.
Nominated to become U.S. ambassador to Argentina by President Clinton in 1999, Nemazee eventually withdrew his nomination after a former partner raised allegations of business improprieties, WND previously reported.
As well, a Nemazee friend in Silicon Valley, Faraj Aalaei, has raised between $50,000 and $100,000 for the Kerry campaign.
Last year, Aalaei married a 35-year-old recent immigrant from Iran named Susan Akbarpour, who has also raised between $50,000 and $100,000 for the campaign.
In just six years since coming to the United States on a tourist visa from Iran, Akbarpour has started a newspaper, a magazine, and, most recently, a trade association whose goal is to get sanctions lifted and promote U.S. business and investment in Iran.
Kerry has embraced the political agenda of Akbarpour and other wealthy Iranian-Americans lobbying for Tehran. Aside from nuclear accommodation, other key positions include ending the finger printing of Iranian visitors to the U.S; expanding "family reunion" visas to allow extended family members of Iranians living in the U.S. to immigrate here legally and in large numbers; offering a "dialogue" with the hard-line, terrorist-supporting clerics in Tehran; and help Iran join the World Trade Organization.
Pirouznia will be working closely with Dr. Jerome Corsi, co-author of the New York Times best selling "Unfit to Command," on a new book about the Iranian-Kerry connection titled, "Atomic Islam," which will be published by WND Books in 2005.
"America is incredibly popular with the Iranian masses, so this is a grave mistake for a short-term benefit," Pirouznia says. "To the regime, [Kerry's policy] sends a message that America is willing to make a deal despite the blood of Americans who were murdered in Dhahran [Saudi Arabia] and are being killed today in Iraq by so-called foreign elements. And to Iranians, it shows that the old establishment may be back in power, a return to the Carter era."
Dr. Corsi said, "Not surprisingly, Iran has publicly accepted Kerry's 'offer' in the last few days."
Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has urged his country's weapons developers to step up work on making a nuclear bomb, a U.S. official recently said, according to Geostrategy-Direct, the global intelligence news service.
Citing an authoritative source in the Iranian exile community, the official said Khamenei met recently with senior government and military leaders regarding the nuclear weapons program.
Khamenei told the gathering, "We must have two bombs ready to go in January or you are not Muslims," the official said.
Tehran has said the recent International Atomic Energy Agency resolution calling on Iran to halt uranium enrichment could lead to the country's withdrawal from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
Khamenei has in the past told many newspapers that nuclear weapons would be used to "destroy the Zionist regime."
Middle East Expert Craig Smith of Swiss America, who wrote the introduction to the forthcoming Atomic Islam book, said, "During the Presidential Debates, many of us were baffled as to why Senator Kerry unabashedly promised that as President he would give the totalitarian government of Iran nuclear fuel, but now it all makes sense. He knew who took him to the dance and he had no choice but to attempt to waltz American technology over to his newfound friends in Tehran."

|Russia finishes Iran nuke plant
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's top nuclear authority has finished construction of an atomic power plant in Iran -- a project the United States fears Tehran could use to make nuclear arms.
"We're done. All we need to do now is work out (with the Iranians) the agreement on sending spent fuel back to Russia," said a spokesman for Russia's Atomic Energy Agency (RosAtom) on Thursday.
To allay U.S. concerns, Russia has promised not to start up the Bushehr plant in southern Iran until Tehran guarantees to return to Russia all spent nuclear fuel, which can be used in making weapons.
The signing of the document has been delayed repeatedly in past years, raising speculation that Moscow, under severe U.S. pressure to ditch the project, could shelve it until the U.N. nuclear agency declares Iran's nuclear programme peaceful.
Alaeddin Boroujerdi, head of the Iranian Parliament's Foreign Affairs and National Security Commission, was in Moscow on Thursday for talks with Russian nuclear and foreign affairs officials.
RosAtom head Alexander Rumyantsev is due to visit Iran in late November, but industry sources have said signing of the key document could be delayed again.
The 1,000-megawatt, $800 million (445 million pounds) Bushehr plant is due to be launched in the next year or so and reach full capacity in 2006.
The RosAtom spokesman said work still remained to be done on assembling some security and control equipment.
Russia has been building the Bushehr plant since the early 1990s. Both Moscow and Tehran maintain Iran's nuclear programme is peaceful.

60 years of Liverpool music celebrated in new exhibition
From The Beatles to The Zutons, Liverpool is a city buzzing with musical talent. This summer, the city that The Guinness Book of Records has named as World Capital City of Pop is host to an exciting exhibition dedicated to 60 years of Liverpool music. The Beat Goes On opens at World Museum Liverpool from 12 July 2008 to 1 November 2009. Admission is FREE.
A product of Liverpool's edginess, energy and creativity the exhibition explores the city's musical identity, its success and its continuing evolution. The exhibition reveals a rich musical heritage beginning with the early musical influences seeping into the city from across the Atlantic during the 1940s and 1950s, to the phenomenal success of Merseybeat and the continuing popularity of Merseyside musicians today.
Bursting with audio points, juke boxes and fascinating films, The Beat Goes On captures the vibrancy and creativity of Liverpool music.
Highlights include:
- a hoard of fascinating objects and memorabilia from the Fab Four, including the first ever public display of the Woolton church stage where John and Paul first met in 1957 and one of the most vital pop collaborations was born. Other gems include the jacket worn by John Lennon during the band's 1964 tour and the vibrant All You Need is Love bedcover from John and Yoko's Bed-in-for-Peace demonstration in Montreal in 1969. The exhibition also provides an opportunity to look at the wealth of other bands that flourished in Liverpool during the swinging-sixties featuring archive video footage of other Merseybeat bands.
- an evocative look at Liverpool's influential club Eric's, which opened in 1976. Displays include a Vivienne Westwood suit designed for the cult band Deaf School and a range of wonderful ephemera from band t-shirts, photographs, posters and badges. One display also looks at the plethora of bands and artists which came to prominence at the time such as Echo and the Bunnymen, Ian Brodie, OMD, Pete Burns and The Teardrop Explodes.
- an immersive space looks at the buoyant dance scene in Liverpool from Quadrant Park, a legendary Liverpool night club in the early 1990s, through to the super-club Cream. Stunning visuals combine with fond memories by DJs and clubbers of hedonistic nights out in Liverpool.
- an interactive exploration of the role of technology within modern music production. Working in collaboration with SAE (School of Audio Engineering) the exhibition features a mini-recording studio, attached to a karaoke-style room where visitors can sing along to classic Liverpool tunes and temporarily become the fifth Beatle or fourth Atomic Kitten! There is also a section for visitors to mix their own version of the OMD track Electricity and a version of Apple Mac's computer programme Garage Band for visitors to experience producing their own track.
- objects from major Liverpool artists including Billy Fury's guitar and a dress made for Lita Roza, the first British female artist to ever have a UK number one hit in 1953 with How Much is that Doggie in the Window? (this was also the first Liverpool artist's UK number one).
- contemporary material from the most fashionable current club nights in Liverpool such as Chibuku and popular bands like The Coral and The Zutons, who are populating the charts today and carrying on Liverpool's dominance in the area of popular music. The exhibition delves into the secret of successful music careers by exploring how musicians develop their skills, channel their inspiration and promote a strong identity.
The Beat Goes On is the first exhibition of its kind and draws on a wealth of material from record companies, institutions and private collectors as well as fascinating objects from National Museum Liverpool's own collection. The exhibition is supported by an online resource produced in collaboration with the Institute of Popular Music at the University of Liverpool. The exhibition also provides a small taste of the kind of displays that visitors will enjoy at Museum of Liverpool when it opens to the public in 2010/11.
The exhibition also has a myspace page, which features a player showcasing music from new, unsigned Liverpool bands. Visitors can vote on a poll to choose the best tracks, and the winners will be featured in the digital jukebox in the actual exhibition. One of the bands you can vote for In July's poll is The Crew, which features our very own Tom - go, Tom, go!

Cleveland is a city with a passionate, but delusional fan base.
Cleveland is a city with a passionate, but delusional fan base.
At the start of every season, the fans are optimistic, always clinging on to hope that one day a team from this proud city will win a championship.
We crave a championship.
I've never seen a Cleveland title and would preferably like to witness one in my lifetime.
On Wednesday, for the first time, I was completely discouraged.
To discourage a Cleveland sports fan is nearly impossible. We've been through it all, except for winning.
The quote, �Waiting for next year,� applies to Cleveland sports. And quite frankly, I'm exhausted by it.
We are in the third week of the NFL season and we are already discussing the draft. Who's it going to be � Teddy Bridgewater, Tajh Boyd or Johnny Manziel?
Just two weeks ago, I was excited about the season. I went to the Browns-Ravens game last week in Baltimore and had a blast.
Three days later, the Browns assign their third-string quarterback to start Sunday's game, then they trade their franchise running back, Trent Richardson, to the Indianapolis Colts.
That's their No. 3 overall draft pick from last year, yes 2012, gone for what likely will be a late first-round selection next year.
So what the Browns management is telling us, thanks for supporting us, but here's some dead squid for you to chew on.
But why so soon?
We are stuck with a really bad football team for 14 more weeks. There's still 227 days until May's NFL draft.
Since 1999, when the Browns returned to Cleveland, they have had one winning season. As a matter of fact, the Baltimore Ravens, the team that took the Browns away, has more Super Bowl titles than the Browns have winning seasons.
During that span, they've had 19 different starting quarterbacks.
Despite the hardships, I'm still proud to admit that I am a card-carrying member of the Cleveland sports fan club. The membership includes false hope, a bit of optimism, a dash of pessimism and a lifetime of losing franchises.
We believe that LeBron James will return to Cleveland following the 2014 NBA season and lead his home-state Cavaliers to a championship. We realize the Cleveland Indians are in Wild Card contention, but that won't last.
But it doesn't matter how many more gut-wrenching debacles we endure, I'm not planning on jumping ship anytime soon.
The Browns move to Baltimore, the Drive, the Fumble, Game 7 of the 2007 World Series, The Decision are just a few heartaches Cleveland fans have suffered through. We've traded away two Cy Young pitchers and have a long history of making poor decisions in drafts.
We want nothing more than a championship.
Win, lose or draw, I am still on board. You won't see me becoming a bandwagon fan and cheering on the L.A. Lakers, Miami Heat, Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees, like a lot of people I've met.
It was 1964, the last time Cleveland won a title. Jim Brown was the running back for the Browns. The Indians last won a World Series in 1948 and the Cavaliers have never won the NBA Finals.
Being a Cleveland sports fan is the most frustrating thing in sports. I can't think of another fan base that's gone through this much suffering.
But in the end, I just tell myself that it's only sports.
There's more important issues out there.
Thanks to our military for their service and fighting for our freedom so that we can enjoy athletics.

The new ERGON range of automatic packers is based on design choices inspired by key concepts such as ergonomics, technology, sturdiness and modularity, masterfully blended to mark a new, significant evolution in the history of SMI products.
You can point out the new ERGON packers rather quickly due to the rounded profile of the movable safety guards, which allow to house all the motors on the outside with respect to the mechanical units they run, facilitating line operator access when performing maintenance.
The CM ERGON series includes automatic machines gathering into a single unit the functions of a wrap-around case packer and of a shrink wrapper, for the packaging of plastic, metal, cardboard or glass containers in the following package types: cardboard case, cardboard tray + film and cardboard tray without film.
Trays can be octagonal or rectangular, with walls having either the same height or different heights.
CM ERGON series machines can achieve an output up to 80 packs per minute, according to the machine model, the product kind and the selected format. The pack collations can vary according to the containers shape and dimensions; in general, the most requested collations are: 2x3, 3x4 and 4x6 for wrap-around cases and 4x3 and 6x4 for tray + film packs.
All CM ERGON packers are equipped with an electronic grouping system, manual format changeover and with the "Easy-Load" system to automatically load the cardbord blank magazine.
The blanks magazine capacity can be increased through modular expansion units.
|Speed (PPM)
|Packaging Type
|Tray + film

Octagonal tray + film
Wrap-around case
1On the machine's inlet conveyor belt, featuring low-friction chains made of thermoplastic material, a specific group of motorized oscillanting guides accurately lines up the loose containers moving towards the pack formation zone, where the containers are clustered in the selected format through electronically synchronized fingers, operating in continuous motion.
2The new Easy-Load system automatically loads cardboard blanks into the dedicated blank magazine of the machine. The new loading device is made up of a group of motorized mat-equipped conveyor belts on which the operator easily places the cardboard blanks in uniform horizontal stacks.
3A corrugated cardboard blank is picked from the blanks magazine by a newly designed picker equipped with vacuum suction cups; it moves along the blank climb and places itself underneath the group of products in transit. The products move on with the short side leading (wrap-around case) or with the long side leading (tray).
4In the tray/case former, the cardboard blank is folded and wrapped around the products by special guides. Then the flap folding devices fold the blank's side flaps and finally the upper/lower flaps of both the front and back side of the pack. The hot melt glue sealing ensures an excellent resistance of the pack.
5If requested, the film can be wrapped around the tray and superposed at the pack base; the pack finally enters the shrinking tunnel. The unwinding of the film reels, situated in the lower part of the machine, is controlled by brushless motors, in order to ensure a constant tension of the film.
The innovative "Easy-Load" system allows the automatic loading of the cardboard blanks magazine and features considerable advantages from an operating and functional point of view; in fact, the operator can easily load the cardboard blanks, stacked horizontally in uniform groups, because the feeding belt of the cardboard blanks magazine is positioned at the same working height as the packer's infeed belt, rather than under it.
More in detail, the new system patented by SMI is made up of a series of conveyor belts, fitted with motorized mats, which feed the packer's cardboard blanks magazine; the cardboard blank stacks are carried on these belts up to the area in which they are translated and then continue up to the collection system at case/shrink packer infeed.
Thanks to specific sensors, the layout and feed of the cardboard blanks on the conveyor belts fitted with the motorized mats and their loading into the packer's magazine is, in fact, fully automated.
Therefore, the innovative solution devised by SMI eliminates the disadvantages related to the traditional loading of the cardboard blanks magazine, which force the operator to bend his/her body continuously to place the blanks in the bottom part of the machine.
The technology used in the "Easy-Load" magazine also features the great advantage of ensuring fluid and constant picking operations with a wide range of cardboard blanks having a thickness between 0.5 mm and 5 mm.
The NEW TS (Tray Stacker) stacks on two or more layers clusters of plastic, metal , cardboard or glass containers both clustered in cardboard trays or pad and loose (this latter solution solely for fit-in type cans). This device can be installed on SK shrink wrappers, on WP case packers and on CM combined packers.
It consists of an electronic stacking device operating in continuous motion, which achieves an output rate up to 60 packs per minute according to the machine model and to the product handled.
Pack collations can vary according to the container shape, capacity and size; in general, the most requested collations are: 4x3 and 6x4. It is available both for single and for double lane production.
After coming out of the trayformer, two or more packs are stacked by means of a Cartesian coordinate system.
Before the pack enters the shrinking tunnel, the film is wrapped around the products and overlapped at the base of the pack.
The PID SBP® inserts stretched board pre-assembled partitions into cardboard boxes, in order to protect fragile products (such as glass containers) and save their labels from abrasions.
This device can be installed on the WP wrap-around case packers and on the CM and LCM 40 combined packers.
Compared with the traditional inserting systems of non-preassembled partitions, the PID SBP® allows to:
The PID SBP® and the pre-assembled partitions magazine are mounted at the machine inlet, on top of the pack-forming section. The maximum operating speed is 40 packs/minute (1-head model) or 60 packs/minute (2-head model).
A mechanical arm equipped with vacuum suckers picks a stretched board pre-assembled partition from the partition magazine, opens it and lowers it between the products that have just been grouped in the required pack collation.
Finally a cardboard blank is wrapped around the products by means of special guides, thus forming a case.
The Easy-Open system can be installed both on the SK shrinkwrappers and on the CM combined packers. It consists of a device piercing the film during the cutting operation, in order to create the required mark.
It can pierce two types of marks, "X"-shaped and "H"-shaped, and is available both for single and double lane production. Thanks to the Easy Open system, the customer's level of satisfaction is definitely improved, because of the easier opening of the pack.
Moreover, this application does not require any specific packaging materials and, therefore, allows to obtain eye-catching packs without additional costs.
SMI customers can now upgrade their SK and CM packers with an innovative film welding device. The "film welding device by heated blade" joins the edge of the film reel about to end with the beginning of the new reel while the machine is running, with no need to stop production. The machine slows down and the film (printed or neutral with reference mark) is automatically joined; the machine is immediately back to running at full pace.
The new system allows dramatic cuts on energy and maintenance costs compared to traditional hot sealing method, as there are no more sealing rollers to be kept at a consistent temperature. The sealing precision of printed film or neutral film with reference mark is higher, with +/-10mm margin from the reference mark. The "film welding device by heated blade" can handle also no-collant film.

Whats surprising regarding the new map is the degree of detail on every previous road, building, and hill. It is much smaller than previous ones, clocking at 4x4 kilometers instead of the usual 8x8. The new desert map is really stunning. Pubg New Map - the Conspiracy

Other players appear to feel the same style, pushing for more info about any upcoming map additions. Several new players might not be conscious of how the new PUBG map is presently only on the games test server. One of the chief complaints players have had about Miramar is the fact that it feels too open as a result of the absence of cover. The Bad Side of Pubg New Map

A body blow or historic reform?
The reaction to the deregulation of university fees depends on whether it causes pain or gain.
University students say the Abbott government's "horror budget" will leave them drowning in debt.
They face a double financial hit from 2016, when universities will be allowed to charge what they like while government contributions reduce.
"Thousands and thousands of parents around the country will be worrying about how their children are going to afford their education," National Union of Students president Deanna Taylor said.
Meghan Hopper from the Council of Australian Postgraduate Associations didn't mince words: "This budget sucks for students."
But the nation's top research institutions and private higher educators are thrilled.
ANU vice-chancellor Ian Young, chair of the Group of Eight, said the moves reconciled access and equality and made growth affordable for universities.
The government hopes the changes will force Australian universities to be more competitive.
It wants at least one local institution to break into the world's top 20, and more in the top 100.
The budget also provides subsidies for all diploma and sub-bachelor students - a massive expansion of the demand-driven system.
The Council of Private Higher Education chief Adrian McComb says the measure delivers everything the sector wants.
It's expected expanding places will lead to the government subsidising an extra 80,000 students by 2018 at a cost of $820 million.
However, it will still bank $1.1 billion from cutting an average 20 per cent from student payments.
Non-university providers will get smaller subsidies than universities.
Mr McComb said the finer detail of arrangements were still to be negotiated.
"Some of that is not cheaper to teach in fact, the sort of work you need to do with sub-bachelor degree students," he told AAP.
The group representing all universities was more circumspect about the changes, saying it was disappointing the likely increase in student fees was being offset by a significant drop in government contributions.
"In combination (with lower indexation) that represents a reduction of around $1.9 billion over the forward estimates," Universities Australia chief Belinda Robinson told AAP.
The budget changes will affect anyone who accepts a higher education place after Wednesday.
Students already enrolled at the time of the federal budget won't be affected unless they're still studying at the end of 2020.
In a small sweetener, universities will have to put $1 from every $5 raised from fee hikes into scholarships.
Students, however, don't think that is especially sweet.
"(Treasurer Joe) Hockey is claiming to provide more opportunity for low-SES (socio-economic students) and rural students while he's making them foot the bill for their own scholarships," Ms Hopper said.
Another $3.3 billion will be saved from changes to the higher education loans program.
Graduates will have to start repaying the loans once they earn $50,638 from mid-2016, almost $700 less than now.
Their debts will be indexed at a higher rate, capped at 6 per cent, depending on what it costs government to borrow.
At the moment, the rate is indexed in line with inflation - currently about 2.5 per cent.

President Barack Obama, having missed the statutory deadline for submitting his budget to Congress, is proposing instead that Congress pass a short-term plan to delay across-the-board spending cuts due to take effect March 1.
Obama said Tuesday a full budget may not be finished before the March 1 "sequestration" deadline, so if Congress cannot act in time to get a complete budget done, the White House says it should pass a smaller package to delay the automatic cuts.
"There's no reason that the jobs of thousands of American who work in national security or education or clean energy, not to mention the growth of the entire economy, should be put in jeopardy just because folks in Washington couldn't come together to eliminate a few special interest tax loopholes or government programs that we agree need some reform," he said.
The sequester, which originally called for $1.2 trillion in spending cuts over 10 years unless Congress passed a new plan, was delayed for two months in a fashion similar to the Democrats and Republicans' compromise to avoid the "fiscal cliff" on Jan. 1.

Service draws blood
Blood squirted from Travis Craig's nose like water escaping a pinhole leak in a water balloon.
He got off easy.
Craig's broken nose forced him out of Saturday's Cook Inlet Conference bloodbath at Anchorage Football Stadium in the first quarter, leaving him safe from further punishment as Service handed the Mustangs a 42-6 loss that wasn't nearly as close as the score indicated.
"Their fast guys were faster than our fast guys," Chugiak coach Duncan Shackelford said.
That about sums it up. Service dominated every facet of the game, racing up and down the field with abandon. The Cougars piled up 664 yards of offense (while holding Chugiak to just 90) and held a 23-7 advantage in first downs. Service quarterback Amu Aukisitino threw for 452 yards and three touchdowns and ran for two more, as Chugiak's defense struggled to keep up with the 5-foot-10 junior.
Shackelford said the Mustangs had no answer for Service's dynamic quarterback.
"He's just a great athlete," he said.
The Cougars also piled up nearly twice as many penalties as Chugiak and had a player ejected in a penalty-filled game that included a rare mid-game summit between officials and the head coaches from each team.
"Both sides were warned to keep their cool and keep their composure," said Service head coach Jason Caldarera.
Caldarera called the game physical on both sides, and said his players are taught to play hard and within the rules.
"We would never advocate anything that is inappropriate," he said.
Shackelford said he thought his team did a good job of not retaliating after Service penalties, and said he planned to watch the game tape to see if anyone on his side was out of line.
"I told my kids, 'If I see anything cheap out there I'll yank your butt and stick you on the bench for the next 45 days,'" he said. "You know, I don't play that, sorry. I still believe you play hard, you play by the rules and if you knock the heck out of somebody you knock the heck out of somebody and you do it fair and within the rules."
Shackelford said considers the matter closed, and trusted that Caldarera would have a similar talk with his team.
"I'm sure Jason will go back and tell the same thing to his guys," he said.
Chugiak actually began the game with a good break, recovering a Service fumble on the Cougars' first play from scrimmage. But the gift turned into the first of many drives to nowhere, ending in a turnover on downs.
From then on it was a video game. Service scored on three drives of 86 yards or more and hit for several huge passing plays. Their touchdowns included 56- and 75-yard bombs to Alan Busey, who finished 11 catches for 295 yards. Nick Butler also caught two touchdown passes for Service, including a 20-yarder from Christopher Toomer.
The fourth quarter was played with a running clock due to the 35-point mercy rule.
Chugiak's lone bright spot came courtesy of defensive back Deven Ferriss, who scooped up a Service fumble late in the second quarter and raced 96 yards for a touchdown that cut Service's lead to 21-6 at halftime. Ferriss' score was the speedy junior's second long return for a touchdown this season.
It was one of the few positive moments for the Chugiak defensive backfield, which struggled against Service's tall, speedy receivers all night. The Mustangs were beaten for five deep passes, and by the end of the game DB's Travis Craig (nose) and Tyler Rohde (leg) were watching from the sideline with injuries.
Chugiak linebacker Wayde Snell said he thinks the best way for Chugiak to get past the brutal loss will be to take their frustrations out on the practice field.
"We're going to work harder than ever," Snell said.
The senior captain said the team must forget the loss and wipe the slate clean in advance of their showdown Sept. 3 against Bartlett (1-1 CIC, 2-1 overall).
"We have to," he said. "We can't think about it. It's over."
Bartlett bounced back from a Week 2 loss with a 48-21 win Aug. 27 over Eagle River,
"It looks like they haven't missed a beat," Shackelford said.

Molten Chocolate Cake
Have you ever been to a chocolate museum? I have.
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to visit the Stollwerck's Chocolate Musueum in Germany. It was definitely an exhilarating experience.
First of all, the smell of chocolate that greets you as you enter the facility is one big sensory assassination-in a good way- and my senses responded to the stimulus accordingly.
I was like Willy Wonka the first time he set foot in the chocolate factory. I must have had my eyes wide open to make sure that I didn't miss any of the chocolatey sights to behold. Ooohhhh...chocolates in all it's forms and colors. I was in cloud 9 that day!
It was fascinating to note the difference between each type of chocolate - from dark, milk to white. There were also interesting tidbits to learn, like the history of chocolate and how it came to Europe, and the evolution of chocolate from then up to the present.... But I gotta admit, I really wasn't paying so much attention to what the tour guide was saying. How can I concentrate when there's a chocolate fountain nearby spurting some dark silky flowing lava of chocolate?? And right next to it was a bevy of pretzels, wafers and cookies ready to be dipped into that chocolatey goodness! And it's free for everyone to try! Hmmnn... I would have gladly remained right at that spot by the chocolate fountain while the rest of the tour progresses!
But thankfully, I managed to control myself and I went on with the tour. Afterall, there's a promise of a reward - being able to purchase their chocolate products at half the price at the end of the tour!
Needless to say, I left that chocolate museum with a big smile on my face and a bag-full of assorted chocolates -- so happy, that I swear I had a skip in my step, like a little child. Yeah, good times....This memory still brings a smile to my lips...
Anyhoe, here's my Molten Chocolate Cake. I made this a while back, just shortly before I had to leave for my trip to the Philippines a couple of months ago.
I was watching Wolfgang Puck's show (Live, Love, Eat) on TV when he happened to be making this decadent dessert. Eversince that day, the vision of that luscious-chocolate cake haunted me, that I just gotta make it. But as always, life interferred so it took me a few weeks before I finally had the chance to do so.
But at last, here it is. What could be better than a warm chocolate cake from the oven oozing with chocolate goodness from the center? And it's easy to do. Believe me, this super-rich, gooey treat is what you need for next time that chocolate craving hits you.
Molten Chocolate Cake
Wolfgang Puck
8 oz. unsalted butter
5 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1/4 C. sugar
3 Tbs. all-purpose flour
Lightly sweetened whipped cream or good quality vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
Raspberries and mint leaves, for garnish
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put about 3 oz. of the butter in a microwave-proof dish or a small saucepan. Heat in the microwave, or in the pan over low heat, just until the butter has melted. Thoroughly brush the insides of 6 individual 8-oz. custard cups or ramekins with the melted butter.
3. Cut up the remaining butter into pieces. Put the chocolate pieces and the butter pieces in the top pan of a double boiler or a medium heatproof bowl set over but not touching simmering water. Heat them, stirring frequently, until completely melted and smoothly blended. Remove the pan or bowl from the heat and set aside.
4. Put the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar in the large bowl of an electric mixer, or in a mixing bowl if you are using a handheld electric mixer. Beat the eggs and sugar together at medium-high speed until the mixture turns pale yellow, thick, and creamy, about 5 minutes.
5. About a third at a time, use a spatula to fold the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture. Gently fold in the flour just until no streaks remain. With a ladle or large spoon, transfer this batter to the prepared custard cups or ramekins, filling them about two-thirds full. Put the cups or ramekins on a baking sheet.
6.Bake just until the cakes have risen and their sides look firm, 10-12 minutes, taking care not to over-bake them. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, carefully remove the cups or ramekins from the baking sheet, and set them aside to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
7. Unmold onto individual serving plates, or simply place a cup or ramekin on each plate for serving.
8. Offer whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for each person to eat with the cake, if preferred.

A significant phenomenon of Chinese economic reform is the rapid growth of publications. The economic reform policies brought a loosened press and expression atmosphere. Published statistics on international book production show that China, with a 271% increase between 1980 and 1990, as recorded in Chinese statistical yearbooks, experienced the world's most significant growth in publications. About 80,000 new book titles were produced in 1990 (the United Kingdom, by comparison, produced a little more than 60,000 titles and Japan, about 40,000). In 1993, over 100,000 new book titles were added. Among the total number of new titles published worldwide, every one out of seven to eight books is published in China. Officially registered periodical and newspaper titles are also growing at a steady pace. In 1983, serials titles were 3415, and newspaper titles were 340. In 1993, these numbers changed to 6700 and 900, respectively, doubling or tripling during the last decade.
A National New Bibliography is published monthly in printed version, and the national library has been trying to do the central cataloging for books published in Chinese. However, there is no online bibliographic utility at the national level for comprehensive bibliographic control over these large number of publications.
In contrast, online bibliographic databases for Chinese publications are available in the United States. RLIN and OCLC hold the world's major bibliographic databases for titles published in China; however, they have never been comprehensive. Records in these databases are based on limited import books cataloged by the institutions of North America. Although the size of the databases has increased, a gap between the number of publications and the number of cataloged records available in North America is getting larger quickly.
During 1980 and 1989, the total number of books published in China was 453,323, while the RLIN database held only 120,421 records (21% of the published books). From 1990 to April 1994, the ratio of cataloged books in the RLIN database (42,360) to published books in China (401,987) was 8%. The RLIN data also included LC and OCLC cataloging data, which may have some duplicate records; the data was collected based on the duplication country code and the date of publications.
Historically, books imported into East Asia libraries in the United States concentrate primarily on social sciences (politics, law, economics) and humanities (i.e., linguistics, art, anthropology, music), and very few focus on science and technology. In contrast, scientific research and development in China are rapidly growing areas with significant numbers of high quality publications, with notable examples in such fields as super-conductor materials, nuclear applications, Chinese medicines for treating cancer and AIDS, biomedical sciences and agriculture. Because of the vast potential of the Chinese market, the country's business information and frequently changed legal and regulatory documents are also in great demand by Americans; however, these documents are often difficult to locate in the United States, due in part to limited bibliographic information.
Local/Regional MARC and Bibliographic Services in China
Recently in China, information professionals have made great efforts in establishing Chinese national and regional bibliographic utilities to provide access to this rich and precious intellectual resource through international telecommunication networks and cooperative library services. By linking with regional online bibliographic utilities, exchanging MARC files and establishing standards, a nationwide online bibliographic utility will become reality. The following are some of the MARC databases that are being created, based on the types of materials they contain:
For current published books:
CN MARC was produced by Beijing Library, the National Library of China. Testing records were issued in 1988. Since 1989, CN MARC records have been officially distributed to all the libraries in China. The records are issued on floppy disks monthly, presently four disks (1.2 mb) per month, with approximately 1200 records per disk, creating about 50,000 - 55,000 records per year.
SL MARC was produced by Shen Lian Academic Library Services in Shanghai. The organization, located in Shanghai Jiaotong University Library, was created by several university and college libraries in 1989. With a membership that has increased to about 80, the group has expanded to other cities nearby. Approximately 60,000 records have been accumulated; floppy disks are used for delivery.
Guangdong MARC was produced by a company run by Shenzhen University Library. Started from 1991, data can be transmitted both on disks and through dial-in access. About 50 libraries (mostly academic) are sharing the database, which contains about 30,000-35,000 records.
TL MARC belongs to the Tu Lian Company, which is a cooperative acquisition group formed by over 30 academic libraries. Data has been produced by Peking University Library (PUL) and Tsinghua University Library (TUL) since early 1994. PUL is in charge of the books in social sciences and humanities, while TUL handles those in natural sciences and technologies. About 5000 records are now available on disks or through phone line access. For books published before the MARC database projects had started, four major retrospective conversion projects are underway:
Books published between 1978 and 1987 are processed through a cooperative project of 29 university libraries. More than 50,000 titles have been converted and stored in the database. Peking University Library has been the coordinator and leader of this project.
Another project covering a similar time period of publications is underway by three public libraries (Shenzhen, Nanjing, and Hunan public libraries). The size of the database is not clear.
For books published from 1911 to 1949, The National Library of China is in charge of their cataloging, with support from OCLC.
For rare books printed in ancient China, a major project has been conducted. The participants include Peking University Library, the Library of China Academy of Sciences, and Liaoning Public Library. This is a cooperative project with the Research Libraries Group (RLG).
For journals:
The National Library of China currently has about 13,000 MARC records for both natural science and social science journal titles. Shanghai Library has about 11,000 MARC records for social science journals. Institute of Sci/Tech Information of China (ISTIC) has about 10,021 MARC records for science & technical journals. The ISDS Center of China has about 6000 MARC records for both natural and social science current journals. In addition, many Chinese libraries have their local MARC databases which include some journal titles.
Future Outlook
Academic libraries have planned the following two projects for implementation in the near future.
APTLIN (Academy of Sciences, Peking University and Tsinghua University Library & Information Network) is supported by the Committee of Science Foundation of China. It is one of four major projects of NCFC (National Computing and Networking Facilities of China). Plans call for a common OPAC interface, online cooperative cataloging and online interlibrary loan, all to be functioning by the end of 1995 within the Zhongguncun Area where the three units reside.
ALINet (Academic Library and Information Network) is one of three networks planned to promote better public service in Chinese academic and research communities subordinating to "211 Project." ALINet will be based on CERNET (China Education and Research Network), a computing and communication network that is also subordinate to "211 Project." ALINet will establish about 30 information centers as nodes, and link about 100 academic libraries (through their campus networks) at the preliminary stage by the year of 2000. ALINet will connect to other domestic information systems through CN-PAC as well as to some foreign libraries and information centers through Internet. Some 30-50 databases, including nationwide MARC databases, will be set up and be accessed on ALINet. A series of CD-ROMs containing databases focused on Chinese culture and science or achievements made by the Chinese universities will be produced and issued. Online searching and document delivering will be served through ALINet.
Significant progress in creating Chinese MARC databases has been made in recent years. Yet we must face some shortcomings and difficulties, such as incomplete standards, limited capacity in online transmitting and downloading, unnecessary repetition in cataloging, shortage of financial support, etc. However, the situation is changing rapidly. We have confidence that all of the shortcomings will be dealt with and overcome in pace with the development of the Chinese information superhighway. It can be predicted that apart from the National Library, the three cooperative cataloging services will become regional bibliographic utilities. The establishment of the ALINet will make these utilities available to libraries and end users in China and in other countries.

All undergraduate students enrolled at a UW campus may register for courses at another UW campus on a space-available basis, starting on the first day of Registration Period 2 for Autumn, Winter and Spring quarters. In Summer quarter, cross-campus enrollment is allowed in Period 1.
A maximum of 15 credits per academic year (autumn through summer) may be taken on another UW campus. School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences (IAS) students wishing to complete additional credits through cross-campus registration during an academic year may submit an IAS Cross-Campus/Final Year Residency petition.
To initiate the petition, print the IAS Cross-Campus/Final Year Residency Petition and submit it to the IAS Office in UW 1, room 390 for departmental recommendation. Even with departmental recommendation, there is no guarantee that the UW Bothell Registrar will approve a petition.
In this petition, students must articulate in writing why they are petitioning to take beyond the 15 credits allotted them in an academic year. Specific course numbers and credit amounts should also be included in this petition. The additional credits to petition are calculated by the student, based on what additional courses they want/need to take, and the credit amount of those courses. Students within 60 credits of graduation may also need to petition the Final Year Residency requirement.
More information on cross-campus Registration credit limits.
All students with sophomore to post-baccalaureate class standing must complete 15 credits at UW Bothell before they are eligible to register at another UW campus. Students in the Military Science program or a Reserve Officer Training Corp (ROTC) cadet program who must take a related course at UW Seattle in their first quarter at UW Bothell should contact the UW Bothell Office of the Registrar directly. More information on cross-campus registration eligibility.
A student must complete 45 of his or her final 60 credits as a matriculated student in residence at the University of Washington campus where the degree is being earned. This means that students pursuing majors through the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences (IAS) may complete up to 15 credits of their final 60 credits in coursework outside of UW Bothell.
Students may petition the Final Year Residency Requirement by downloading the online IAS Cross-Campus/Final Year Residency Petition and submitting it to the IAS Office in UW 1, room 390 for departmental recommendation. Even with departmental recommendation, there is no guarantee that the UW Bothell Registrar will approve a petition.
Final Year Residency Petitions are generally completed while the student is within their final 60 credits. For example, a student completing a study abroad trip toward the end of their degree may need to petition the Final Year Residency Policy. Such a petition is typically completed upon the student's return and in an appointment with an IAS Advisor. The credit amount to petition is often calculated in the appointment with the IAS Advisor.
If an exception is granted, the student still must complete a minimum of 45 credits taken in residence as a UW matriculated student to be awarded a UW degree
Students wishing to petition a School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences (IAS) major requirement may fill out the online IAS Major Requirement Petition. Students must be admitted or declared in an IAS major in order for the online petition to be reviewed. While students can petition alternate coursework to apply toward specific major requirements, they may not petition the actual requirement itself.
The IAS Major Requirement Petition may be used to petition alternate coursework to satisfy the following school and major requirements:
Petitions must include a relevant course description or syllabus in order to be reviewed. Typically, lower division (100-200 level) coursework taken outside of the UW Bothell will not be reviewed. If you are petitioning more than one course/requirement, the form must be filled out for each individual requirement.
Students wishing to petition a School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences (IAS) minor requirement may complete a Graduation Petition and submit it to the IAS office.
School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences (IAS) students who are impacted by the Satisfactory Progress Policy (SPP) Hold or Block must address registration actions on a quarterly basis. Learn about UW Satisfactory Progress Policies.
In order for a student to be approved by IAS to continue to take classes at UW Bothell, students must submit a written statement addressing their academic goals and need for an extension. They must also complete an academic plan in an academic advising appointment with an advisor.
To start the process, students should review the IAS Satisfactory Progress Agreement Form and bring a thoughtful written statement to a scheduled advising appointment. The quickest way to schedule an appointment with an IAS Advisor is to book online.

in a wide variety of legal areas – private or public, civil
or criminal. Externships are available for the Fall, Spring
and Summer semesters. Some public sector externships enable
you to obtain a 711 license and appear in court.
Why Extern?
To become a good lawyer and to supplement what you learn
in the classroom, you need practical experience in real-world
legal work. Most students aren't fortunate enough to receive
a paid clerking position — or even a volunteer opportunity
— that teaches what they want to learn. LEP presents a unique
and important opportunity to gain exposure to an area of
the law in which you are interested and helps you significantly
broaden your future employment opportunities.
Students interested in civil law may extern in a wide variety
of places. For example, some have externed at the City of
Chicago Corporation Counsel's Office, Office of the Illinois
Attorney General, Illinois Commerce Commission, Immigration
Court of the U.S. Department of Justice, Internal Revenue
Service, and Environmental Protection Agency, as well approved
in-house corporate legal counsel.
Students interested in criminal law have externed at the
US Attorney's Office, the Office of the Federal Defender,
and at the offices of the State's Attorney and Public Defender
in Cook County as well as the surrounding counties.
Application Process:
Information and application packets for Fall 2011 are available
in front of the Spakateria, in Career Services Office, and
in Room 600 Law Offices reception area.
Mitsui Rail Capital, LLC (MRC) is a railcar operating lessor
servicing customers throughout North America, including

500 companies in a wide variety of sectors, including energy,
mining, coal, steel, automotive, appliances, grain, plastics,
etc. MRC also provides rail and infrastructure advisory
services to its sister-companies in Amsterdam, Munich and
Sao Paolo, as well as affiliated sister-companies worldwide.
The extern will work directly with General Counsel on numerous
legal matters including but not limited to: equipment leasing
agreements; equipment financing and other financial documentation;
NDAs or other confidentiality agreements; corporate governance
documents including board minutes, consents/resolutions,
company and employee policies; matters relating to human
resources and employment; insurance claim handling and reporting;
various litigation matters; and other legal matters as needed
by the company.
Extern applicants can be either 2Ls or 3Ls. Students who
have had course work in Business Organizations, Commercial
and Secured Transactions and/or Employment Law are preferred.
In addition, the extern should have an interest or experience
in cross-cultural business environments.
To Apply:
Applicants should send a cover letter, resume, writing sample
and transcript (unofficial on-line transcript is acceptable)
by either regular mail or email to:
Mr. Rudy Figueroa
General Counsel
Director of Human Resources & Corporate Secretary
Mitsui Rail Capital, LLC
Suite 1800
71 S. Wacker Drive
Chicago, IL 60608
Application Deadline Date:
Applicants must submit their materials by Friday, August
12, 2011.

by Shannon, Well Served Tennis Academy
Today someone said to me, "You should take a break from all of your advocacy work. You're doing too much."
But I can't. This is the air that I breathe.
I've got a lot going on. Most of it is self imposed. I'm an intuitive person and when my son was diagnosed with autism ten years ago, one of my first realizations was that very few people who could help him get services, an appropriate education and medical care actually KNEW what autism was beyond just the word. I'm talking politicians and policy makers. The people who could shape the laws that govern my son's ability to access ALL the wonderful things this country has to offer, knew…almost…nothing.
So with a healthy dose of terror (which incidentally never goes away) and having the faintest of clues as to how to begin, I began. And one step led to another and before I knew it, I was speaking to state representatives and state senators, Congressmen and Senators, advisors and policy makers. Before I knew it, I was working with other parents to CHANGE the lives of our children.
And I gulped in the air. Again and again.
It is the air that allows me to be an integral part of the solution. It is the air that allows me to be part of making the world my children live in, the best world it can be for them. It is the air that I need to help policy makers remember that there are REAL people behind the word autism or autistic. It is the air behind the voice I use to speak for my children. It is my oxygen mask. It is not everyone's, but it is mine.
Think you can't do this? You can.
I am a life long tennis player and the great Arthur Ashe is among my favorite tennis champions. He said this,"Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." Start with a call to your legislator. Ask him or her to meet you for coffee. Then breathe.
