Bob Dylan
>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_dylan>
Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman, May 24, 1941) is an American
singer-songwriter, author, musician, and poet who has been a major figure
in popular music for five decades. Much of Dylan's most notable work dates
from the 1960s, when he became an informal documentarian and reluctant
figurehead of American unrest. Some of his songs, such as "Blowin' in the
Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin' ",[1] became anthems of the
anti-war and civil rights movements. His most recent studio album, Modern
Times, released on August 29, 2006, entered the US album charts at #1,
making him, at age 65, the oldest living person to top those charts.
Dylan's early lyrics incorporated politics, social commentary, philosophy
and literary influences, defying existing pop music conventions and
appealing widely to the counterculture of the time. While expanding and
personalizing musical styles, he has shown steadfast devotion to many
traditions of American song, from folk and country/blues to rock 'n' roll
and rockabilly, to English, Scottish and Irish folk music, even jazz,
swing, Broadway, and Gospel.
Dylan performs with the guitar, keyboard and harmonica. Backed by a
changing lineup of musicians, he has toured steadily since the late 1980s
on what has been dubbed the Never Ending Tour. He has also recently
performed alongside other major artists, such as Paul Simon, Tom Petty,
Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Jack White, Merle Haggard, and Eric
Clapton. Although his contributions as performer and recording artist have
been central to his career, his songwriting is generally held as his
highest accomplishment.[2]
His career accomplishments have been recognized with the Polar Music
Prize, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Kennedy Center Honors, and
induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters and
Songwriters Hall of Fame. Dylan was listed as one of TIME Magazine's 100
most influential people of the 20th century. In 2004, he was ranked #2 in
Rolling Stone Magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, [3], second to
The Beatles. He has also been nominated several times for the Nobel Prize
in Literature.[4][5]

Dr. Seuss
>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr_Seuss>
Theodore Seuss Geisel (March 2, 1904 September 24, 1991) was a famous
American writer and cartoonist best known for his classic children's books
under the pen name Dr. Seuss, including The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and
Ham, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. His books have become staples for
many children and their parents. Seuss' trademark was his rhyming text and
outlandish creatures. He also wrote under the pseudonym Theo. LeSieg. He
wrote and illustrated 48 children's books.

Geisel was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Ted's
father was a park commissioner in charge of a huge park that included
within its borders a zoo and was located three blocks from the library. He
graduated from Dartmouth College in 1925, where he was a member of Sigma
Phi Epsilon and Casque and Gauntlet, and wrote for the Dartmouth
Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine. Even at this early stage, Geisel had
started using the pen name "Dr. Seuss", as well as his own name. His first
work signed as "Dr. Seuss" appeared six months into his work for Judge (a
humor magazine). Seuss was his mother's maiden name. Being an immigrant
from Germany, she would have pronounced it more or less as "zoice", the
standard pronunciation in German (according to Censuses, his mother was
born in Massachusetts, and it was her parents who were the immigrants).
Alexander Liang, who served with Geisel on the staff of the Jack-O-
Lantern and was later a professor at Dartmouth, illustrated this point
with the following Seuss-esque rhyme:
You're wrong as the deuce
And you shouldn't rejoice
If you're calling him Seuss.
He pronounces it Soice.

American Masters "Bob Dylan: No Direction Home"
<http://www.pbs.org/previews/american_masters_dylan/>
In an event that has brought together Bob Dylan and Martin Scorsese,
AMERICAN MASTERS presents "Bob Dylan: No Direction Home," airing on PBS
Monday-Tuesday, September 26-27, 2005, 9:00 p.m. ET. Check local listings.
The two-part film, which focuses on the singer-songwriter's life and music
from 1961-66, includes never-seen performance footage and interviews with
artists and musicians whose lives intertwined with Dylan's during that
time. Dylan talks openly and extensively about this critical period in his
career, detailing the journey from his hometown of Hibbing, Minnesota, to
Greenwich Village, New York, where he became the center of a musical and
cultural upheaval, the effects of which are still felt today.
For the first time, the Bob Dylan Archives has made available rare
treasures from its film, tape and stills collection, including footage
from Murray Lerner's film Festival, documenting performances at the 1963,
1964 and 1965 Newport Folk Festivals; previously unreleased outtakes from
D.A. Pennebaker's famed 1967 documentary Don't Look Back; and interviews
with Allen Ginsberg, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Maria Muldaur and many
others. In anticipation of the film, members of Dylan's worldwide
community of fans also contributed rarities from their own collections.
"Bob Dylan: No Direction Home, A Martin Scorsese Picture" comes on the
heels of Dylan's best-selling memoir, Chronicles: Volume I, which spent 19
weeks on the New York Times Hardcover Non-Fiction Bestseller list.
In addition to directing such dramatic films as Raging Bull, Goodfellas
and The Aviator, Martin Scorsese is an avid chronicler of the history of
American popular music. Most recently, he executive-produced the music
miniseries THE BLUES, which aired on PBS, as well as the related concert
film Lightning in a Bottle, directed by Antoine Fuqua. Scorsese also
directed the documentary The Last Waltz (1978), which captured The Band's
legendary farewell concert, and he served as an assistant director and
editor on Woodstock (1970).
In discussing his excitement about the current project, Scorsese remarked,
"I had been a great fan for many years when I had the privilege to film
Bob Dylan for The Last Waltz. I've admired and enjoyed his many musical
transformations. For me, there is no other musical artist who weaves his
influences so densely to create something so personal and unique."

Finding Call Numbers in
Academic Libraries: A Selection of Library Tutorials and Guides Aimed at
Making Library Users Less Dewey Eyed About Finding Books and Journals in
the Library
People who use libraries and find source listings of books or magazines or
journals or find a group of citations from one or more databases or
search engines, benefit little from these leads if they do not have access
to electronic copies of these sources and do not know how to find library
call numbers for the publications in their list of leads owned by the
library they are using to find these sources on the shelves where the
library classification system that library is using. If this is a college
or university library, the system used is often the Library of Congress
classification system. This post provides links to a number of online
tutorials and guides to Library of Congress classification and more.

A call number is like an address - it tells you where the book is located
in the library.
The University of Canterbury library, like most academic libraries, uses
the Library of Congress Classification system. In this system, the call
numbers start with letters of the alphabet.
The first letter refers to the subject area, e.g. H - Social Sciences
Sometimes another letter is added to refer to a more specific aspect of
the subject, e.g. HF - commerce.

By breaking items into 21 subject areas rather than the 10 of Dewey, the
LC classification system allows libraries to classify and arrange larger

Each day new technology upends the information world and changes the
players, policies, and practices we once knew. Add to this flux ongoing
legal decisions, legislative directives, and the media, and youve got
countless divergent voices swirling through cyberspace. How can a busy
information professional define the issues, answers, and options that
synch with broader changes?
In Coyles Information Highway Handbook, long-time Net-izen Karen Coyle
filters the Internet noise with a librarians savvy and sensibility to
offer a selective, one-stop resource on the information future. A
University of California librarian and leader in national forums and
debates, Coyle frames pertinent issues with essays on copyright, access,
privacy, censorship, and the information marketplace. An essential
backgrounder to bring students or staff up to speed and to understand your
own role in the information derby. Indexed. Updates on the Web.

Slowdown Fears Send China Markets into Tailspin

<http://www.thestar.com/Business/article/186230>
SHANGHAI, China Chinese stocks plunged nearly nine per cent Tuesday,
their biggest drop in a decade, rattling markets from Hong Kong to
Singapore and as far away as North America amid fears of a slowdown in
China's economy.
Investors were also spooked by comments Monday from former Federal Reserve
chairman Alan Greenspan, who said a recession in the U.S. was "possible"
later this year.
One day after sending Shanghai's benchmark index to a record, investors
dumped stocks to lock in profits amid speculation about a fresh round of
austerity measures from Beijing to slow the country's sizzling economy.
The Shanghai Composite Index tumbled 8.8 per cent to close at 2.771.79,
its largest decline since it fell 8.9 per cent on Feb. 18, 1997, at the
time of the death of Communist Party elder Deng Xiaoping.
"The (rumours) that China is going to impose a capital gains tax resulted
in regional markets falling," said S. Sharath, an analyst with MIDF-Amanah
Investment Bank in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where the benchmark index
tumbled 2.8 per cent.
But Greenspan's comments also took a heavy toll on Asian markets.
"Our economy is also dependent on the U.S. economy. If there is adverse
news, exports from our country is going to drop," Sharath said.
In Hong Kong, the benchmark Hang Seng Index tumbled 1.8 per cent, while
Singapore's Straits Times index sank 2.3 per cent. Markets in Japan and
Taiwan, however, registered only modest declines.
The plunge spilled over to New York, where the Dow Jones industrials were
down more than 170 points, or 1.36 per cent. In Toronto, the S&P/TSX
Composite Index was down 2.6 per cent or 358 points in afternoon trading.

UNITED STATES: GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS:
Impeach Bush? Don't Bother
Impeach Bush? Don't Bother
By Danny Westneat
Seattle Times staff columnist
Seattle Times
<http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003592835_danny28.html>
Congressman Jay Inslee knows a thing or two about the politics of
impeachment. After all, he owes his job to it.
It's doubtful Inslee, of Bainbridge Island, would be in office had he not
been the first politician in the nation to run TV ads decrying the
impeachment investigation of President Clinton in 1998. The ads said the
impeachment was a waste that had paralyzed Congress. At the time, Clinton
was toxic and few were defending him. Inslee's stand was national news. He
surged ahead of Republican Rick White to win a seat he's held ever since.
Now Inslee is getting blasted by some anti-war activists for saying the
growing movement to impeach President Bush is also a waste.
Thursday, that movement goes prime time. The state Senate is holding a
hearing in Olympia on a resolution requesting that Congress begin
impeachment proceedings against both Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
It's no longer a fringe issue. Last week, an activists' forum on
impeachment in Olympia drew 850 people. Thursday's rally and hearing now
the second governmental hearing on impeachment after one held in the New
Mexico Senate two weeks ago could be larger.
All of which makes Inslee wince.
"These are my friends," he says, "so this is difficult to say. But all
impeachment would do is rally support for George Bush. Among Republicans,
it would make him a hero. And it would make it that much harder to end
this war."

UNITED STATES: GOVERNMENT:
New Light Shed on CIA's 'Black Site' Prisons
New Light Shed on CIA's 'Black Site' Prisons
By Dafna Linzer and Julie Tate
Washington Post Staff Writers

On his last day in CIA custody, Marwan Jabour, an accused al-Qaeda
paymaster, was stripped naked, seated in a chair and videotaped by agency
officers. Afterward, he was shackled and blindfolded, headphones were put
over his ears, and he was given an injection that made him groggy. Jabour,
30, was laid down in the back of a van, driven to an airstrip and put on a
plane with at least one other prisoner.
His release from a secret facility in Afghanistan on June 30, 2006, was a
surprise to Jabour -- and came just after the Supreme Court rejected the
Bush administration's assertion that the Geneva Conventions do not apply
to prisoners like him.
Jabour had spent two years in "black sites" -- a network of secret
internment facilities the CIA operated around the world. His account of
life in that system, which he described in three interviews with The
Washington Post, offers an inside view of a clandestine world that held
far more prisoners than the 14 men President Bush acknowledged and had
transferred out of CIA custody in September.
"There are now no terrorists in the CIA program," the president said,
adding that after the prisoners held were determined to have "little or no
additional intelligence value, many of them have been returned to their
home countries for prosecution or detention by their governments."
But Jabour's experience -- also chronicled by Human Rights Watch, which
yesterday issued a report on the fate of former "black site" detainees --
often does not accord with the portrait the administration has offered of
the CIA system, such as the number of people it held and the threat
detainees posed. Although 14 detainees were publicly moved from CIA
custody to the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, scores more
have not been publicly identified by the U.S. government, and their
whereabouts remain secret.

US: Secret CIA Prisoners Still Missing
Washington Should Reveal Fate of People Disappeared by US
<http://hrw.org/english/docs/2007/02/26/usint15408.htm>
(New York, February 27, 2007) The US government should account for all
the missing detainees once held by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA),
Human Rights Watch said in a report released today.
The 50-page report, Ghost Prisoner: Two Years in Secret CIA Detention,
contains a detailed description of a secret CIA prison from a Palestinian
former detainee who was released from custody last year. Human Rights
Watch has also sent a public letter to US President George W. Bush
requesting information about the fate and whereabouts of the missing
detainees.
President Bush told us that the last 14 CIA prisoners were sent to
Guantanamo, but there are many other prisoners disappeared by the CIA
whose fate is still unknown, said Joanne Mariner, terrorism and
counterterrorism director at Human Rights Watch. The question is: what
happened to these people and where are they now?
