13. Foreign Terrorist Organizations
http://www.state.gov/s/ct/rls/fs/2002/12389.htm
This fact sheet, prepared by the US State Department, provides a brief but
detailed explication of foreign terrorist organizations (FTO) and the
process by which they are identified and designated. As the site states,
FTO designations play a critical role in our fight against terrorism and
are an effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and
pressuring groups to get out of the terrorism business. The site contains
sections on the identification of FTOs, their subsequent designation (which
is for two years at a time), the legal criteria for designation, and the
legal ramifications of designation. Following these sections is a brief
history of the FTO list (begun in 1997) and the names of the 34
organizations that currently comprise the list. Overall, the site offers a
basic overview of how the State Department identifies and classifies these
foreign terrorist organizations. [KM]

Catalog Search - beta
Subject: [netsites] Google Catalog Search - beta
Before I get into the meat of this message, please permit a bit of
digression on this topic. In the nineteenth century, there was a great
deal of frontier that only gradually became assimilated into the country
as a whole in the United States. The railroads first tied areas together
and in the twentieth century the truck and the automobile were added.
Unlike today, where in many areas of our country twenty miles is far to go
for a major shopping complex, there was no retail or supply businesses in
most remote areas within any reasonable distance and transportation in
horse drawn vehicles was slow. Sears and Roebuck invented the catalog
business for just such a frontier environment with transportation of
products being provided by railroads and stage coach. As a child, I found
Sears catalogs and especially the Christmas catalog with all its toys, to
be hours worth of dreaming material. The Sears catalog died in the late
twentieth century victim of the profussion of physical retail facilities
that one can travel to in cars, shop and carry home all but very large
merchandise.
Then came the popular access to and rapid growth of the internet starting
around 1994 and with that a whole new technology, science and media for
marketing, advertising and selling, and a very useful and natural home for
the catalog. Sears now again has internet catalogs, for example.
Members of this discussion group may be involved in businesses or
organizaions that acquire goods and services and for them the Google
Catalog search engine will be useful as a procurement tool. Among these
organizations and firms will be those who have products and services for
which a catalog will serve as a useful marketing tool for the business or
non-profit organizations for which they are management or employees.
This specialized Google search engine will give yet another strong reason
to use catalogs in procurement with its means of finding useful catalogs
from its finite but huge indexed collection. Having ones organization's
catalog listed in such a powerful search engine will provide businesses
and associations with yet another reason for adopting the catalog as a
marketing tool.

The above is just a small, beginning of the alphabet list of catalogs from
just the Business to Business section of this resource. One will be able
to do far more wish list dreaming in this online directory and search
engine of catalogs than in the Sears Toy Catalog of old. The Google
Catalog search engine will be a powerful business and consumer search tool
in the arsenals of advertising, internet advertising and marketing
operations.

Grahamwood Elementary 5th and 6th grade CLUE students invite K-12 classes
from around the world to contribute two lines of poetry for an ongoing poem
about peace: Peace Talk. This collaborative poem commemorates all those
touched by the tragedy of 11 September 2001 and extends our sincere hopes
for world peace.
Our poem begins:
Peace is a puzzle waiting to be solved,
Peace is a story waiting to be told.
We encourage classes to help us create a living poem about peace.
Each class may submit a two-line poem (either rhyme or free verse) about
peace, understanding, cultural diversity, cooperation, unity,
reconciliation. All two-line poems must be submitted by teachers. All poems
submitted must be original work by students.
The poems will be listed one after another on our Web site with identifying
information per class. May the world "hear the children" through this
collaborative poem about peace:

Peace to all,
Wanda Day

Subject: [DIGITALDIVIDE] Recycled Poison: E-Waste
Ever wondered where that old useless printer ended up? BBC has a photo
report by photo journalist Jeroen Bouman inside the illegal Chinese
workshops where young teenagers work long hours amid noxious fumes,
recycling computers from the US and Europe. The industry has turned four
villages in Guiyu, Guangdong province, into toxic waste tips. Drinking water
is now brought by lorries from 30 kilometres away.
