Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (July 13) is up at the website
http://www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/shortwave.shtml in both 
broadcast quality (13.3MB) and quickdownload or streaming form

This week's show features stories from China Radio International, 
Radio Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
>From CHINA- Some Chinese exports have come under attack recently 
for health risks, and the director of the food and drug administration 
was executed for taking bribes. Pakistani troops violently ended the 
siege by militants of the Red Mosque in Islamabad. Inspectors from the 
IAEA will begin work this weekend in N Korea. Military talks are 
underway between the two Koreas to resolve conflicts over their shared 
maritime border.
>From NETHERLANDS- An interview with a member of Reporters 
Without Borders concerning the apparent increase in abductions of 
journalists in war zones. A political party in the Netherlands wants a ban 
imposed on training workshops for animal rights activists. Prisons in the 
Netherlands are swelling with inmates who have not been charged with 
crimes, especially illegal immigrants, drug users, and the mentally ill.
>From CUBA- A Chilean judge has ruled that Peru's former president 
Fujimori will not be extradited for human rights violations and corruption 
charges. Another US aircraft carrier has moved up the Persian Gulf 
which according to the Navy "will counter the assertive, disruptive and 
coercive behavior of some countries."
>From RUSSIA- Members of the IAEA are talking with Iranian leaders as 
the US military presence in the Persian Gulf increases. Russia's 
Foreign Minister rejects the postponement of ministerial talks on the 
Middle East crisis. The American dollar has fallen to a record low

There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on 
line at- http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-
shortwaves

I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, 
available at http://radio.mediageek.net

All that plus times and frequencies for listening at home. It's free to 
rebroadcast, please notify me if you're airing it and haven't notified me 
in the last month, please mention the website if you only air a portion. If 
you just want to listen and have a slow connection, try the streaming 
version- lower sound quality but good enough and way easier if you 
don't have a high-speed internet connection. If streaming is a problem 
because of your slow connection, download the smaller file- it takes 20 
minutes or less, and will play swell in any mp3 player application 
(RealPlayer, Winamp, Quicktime, iTunes, etc) you have on your 
computer.
This program will be aired on Friday afternoon at 4:30pm (PST) on 
KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via
There are several other streams that work better- < 
http://www.freakradio.org >Freak Radio Santa Cruz now streams this 
program on Friday at 9:00am and Saturday at 11am(PST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from <

ents > or iTunes (search for "shortwave" in podcasts)
Check out the amazing streams at < http://www.radicalradio.org >
And Radio For Peace International at < http://www.rfpi.org >

I hope you'll listen and air this if you're connected with a radio station. I 
am still wondering how to get financially compensated for the 25 hours I 
put into this program weekly- any ideas are appreciated. Any stations 
rebroadcasting this (or listeners) are welcome to donate for production 
costs. You can do so through the website. Many thanks to those that 
have donated! No Guilt! (maybe a little)
