ＩＬＣの東北誘致を目指す産学官組織、東北ＩＬＣ推進協議会は２８日、仙台市青葉区のウェスティンホテル仙台で、ＩＬＣ計画とまちづくりなどに関する講演会を開いた。(A lecture about ILC and urban development was held on 28 October in Sendai by Tohoku Conference fro the Promotion of the ILC, an organisation aims to realise the ILC in Tohoku area.)

On October 22 in Nishimirumae Middle School of Morioka City, the Iwate Nippo newspaper company held the first of a series of fall ILC special classes for middle school students in Iwate prefecture. The lecturers were reporters, Iwate Nippo`s ILC correspondents, and talked to 136 third-year students about the increased importance of learning foreign languages and what kind of job opportunities would be brought about. The students then split into groups and discussed. A sample of opinions: “Shouldn`t there be an exhibition building to introduce the ILC?” “Iwate becoming more prosperous is a good thing, but I also want the government to remain devoted to recovery from the tsunami.” “I want to show the good points of Japan to the world.” “I want to become a teacher when I grow up and get my students interested in science.”
Last spring the newspaper gave ILC classes for 8 schools and 1244 students.

However, many albums are still in need of titles, the names of the people in the photos, descriptions of equipment, etc., and we believe that much of this information could be crowd-sourced from the CERN community.

Martin L. Perl, a professor emeritus of physics at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and winner of the 1995 Nobel Prize in physics for discovery of the tau lepton, died Sept. 30 at Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto at the age of 87.
