6 Pakistani military announced that soldiers had occupied the Palestinian front-line Taliban militants in South Waziristan town of an important base for McCune. Local Taliban command center was located, but in Pakistan the *nike shoes*military to promote the process, has not been much "stubborn resistance" at ease, we entered the "legend of the Taliban headquarters."

South Waziristan is located in the border areas between Pakistan and Afghanistan, Pashtun tribal areas, but also the territory of the Taliban in Pakistan the most important activity area. Pakistani military believes that macoun town *wholesale jordans*is the seat of the Taliban's most important command. But in the present situation, the majority of Taliban fighters had fled, leaving the Pakistani army at most only a ghost town.

There are concerns that the Pakistani Taliban *air jordan*militants may now go to the North Waziristan tribal area to avoid the limelight and will at some point in the future, such as the withdrawal of Pakistani army, immediately after a comeback. A day earlier, the Pakistani Taliban leader Mehsud had also clamored for the radio, it is necessary with the army, "bloody battle in the end," and prohibited their own hands "on its own retreat from the battlefield."

The Pakistani government has announced a reward of five million U.S. *jordan shoes*dollars the capture of 18 Taliban, Mehsud, and other key leaders, and a special commitment to provide valuable clues for those who "strictly secret." It is generally believed that the Taliban leaders more than to live in the South Waziristan region. At present, the Mehsud's home has been Pakistan's *air max shoes*military occupation, but did not find their whereabouts.

The Transportation Division of SLA has received a generous $5000 donation from the University of California Berkeley Transportation Center to support the efforts of libraries to facilitate the transfer of information and research results from universities and other sources to practitioners in state DOT's, transit agencies, metropolitan planning organizations and private industry.

A five-member Division task force has been created to recommend to the Division Board how best to use this gift.  The task force has come up with some possible ideas for using the funds and is seeking additional suggestions from SLA TD members and friends. 

Suggested criteria for initiatives include:

•  An innovative project, technique, tool or practical solution that improves or would improve access/ dissemination/ retrieval of transportation research and would benefit the transformation information community
• Topics may include but are not limited to cooperative collection development, outreach, metadata, knowledge management, technical services, Web 2.0, etc.
• Initiatives can be for a single year or cover multiple years
• Funds will not be used for travel
• Ideas should be submitted by Friday, October 2, 2009 to: Jane Minotti, Treasurer, SLA Transportation Division   jminotti@dot.state.ny.us

Several University of Maryland library science graduate students did a survey on how to save special libraries. The Best Contributed Paper for SLA 2009, Saving Special Libraries in a Recession: Business Strategies for Survival and Success, reported the results of this survey. That same paper has just been published in Information Outlook v13 no5 pp37-43 Jul/Aug 09. One of the case studies is about the Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates Library and Penny Sympson, Corporate Librarian. Penny is a member of TRANLIB and frequently contributes to the transportation library community. Congratulations, Penny, on your successful efforts in preventing the Wiss Janney library from being outsourced! 

In a recent SLA DC Chapter post, one of the grad student authors, Arlene Fletcher wrote, "One of the best questions we've received since publication is: how do special libraries market themselves? In order to expand on our research, I developed a follow-up survey with hopes of gathering information about preferred marketing styles among special librarians. The information gathered from this survey will be turned into a paper and, with hope, will expand on my group's previous research."
