NPR or The Afghan War…Which Would You Rather Pay For?
Friday, February 25th, 2011Frankly, I have no objection to our taxes paying the approximately 430 million dollars a year that go to support the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Compared to the ruinous cost of our war in Afghanistan it's a drop in the bucket. Afghanistan costs us 190 million dollars a day. That means that if we could pare off three days cost of the Afghan adventure it would pay for a year of public broadcasting.
I suggest we do our own personal cost-benefit analyses. What do we get for the part of our tax dollars that go to support the Corporation for Public Broadcasting? Television and radio that inform and delight— music, public affairs, news, drama, and coverage of science and the arts.
And then I ask myself about the almost ten years of (to me) fruitless sacrifice in Afghanistan. I don't really feel any safer from terrorist attacks. We haven't caught Bin Laden and we are constantly being assured that there is light at the end of the tunnel; that another number two Al Qaeda or Taliban leader has been killed, and that our leaders have finally "got it right."
If we are serious about balancing the budget or reducing the deficit we should be willing to ask if our imperial wars aren't just emperors with no clothes. Should we not begin to withdraw our troops and our financial commitments?
Public Broadcasting constitutes a vanishingly small part of our 1.3 trillion dollar budget. I'd rather pay for NPR than the Afghanistan war— so far it's been a lot more successful and a lot cheaper.

I am the mother of Marta Gramaccioni, 42, with a urea cycle disorder citrullinemia. Having weathered some of the difficulties of living with this disorder for so long, perhaps I can offer a mother's advice to some of you who are just now facing it. I look forward also to learning new information as I am always surprised by the depth of knowledge to be gained from parents.

The raid on the public education treasury is well under way in the Mississippi Legislature.
A couple of years ago local officials predicted the Tanglefoot Trail would be completed by the summer or fall of this year.
The city of New Albany has agreed to ask the Mississippi Legislature to allow city voters to make their own decision on the sale of wine and spirits in the city.
The Union County Library is bracing for another budget cut from the state because of the new budget proposal by Gov. Phil Bryant.
We understand that residents of the Murrah Road area in New Albany want the run-down trailer park and motel near their property gone. Frankly, so does most everyone else in the city that we have heard from. But that is where the agreement ends. The Murrah Road residents group has asked the city to purchase the property. According to city officials, the owners want $710,000 for it and want to retain ownership of the trailers, which they then could move somewhere else outside the city.
Public education is under attack again in Mississippi. The campaign to expand so-called "charter" schools throughout the state has gained more impetus from Gov. Phil Bryant and the Republican-controlled legislature.
Residents of the Murrah Road area of New Albany continue to be upset with the city's failure to deal forcefully with a run-down trailer park and motel near their property.
The annual Union County Spelling Bee is a reminder to us all that our public schools are doing a good job in teaching one of the basic fundamentals of education. That, of course, would be spelling.
The New Albany Board of Aldermen recently demonstrated a classic way not to handle the business of the city.
A group of Murrah Road residents has asked the New Albany Board of Aldermen for help in cleaning up the Resthaven Trailer Park.
Two events are coming up that benefit charitable causes. One has been around for a long time and the other is new this year. We commend both to you.
My, my, what a mess. Instead of quietly slipping out the governor's mansion to return to his former life as a lobbyist, Haley Barbour dropped a bombshell on his way out the door.
New Albany's decision to continue supplying the city water from wells probably was the only economically feasible choice to make.
What has generally been a low-key campaign on the proposal to allow the sale of wine and spirits in New Albany will be decided Tuesday, Jan. 10, in a special election.
We take pride in providing the news in an objective fashion in our news columns. But here in this space we offer our opinion, and provide space in our Letters to the Editor column for yours.
A year has passed since the New Albany Board of Aldermen considered a plan to establish minimum standards for rental housing. The proposal was defeated on a 2-3 vote. We think it is time to look at the issue again.
Union County voters will face an important decision for the growth of our city in the special election Tuesday, Jan. 10.
Below the Gazette reprints eight-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon's letter to the editor of New York's Sun newspaper and the newspaper's response on Sept. 21, 1897:
Our community breathed a collective sigh of relief this week with news that a New Albany man has been charged with capital murder in the shooting death of Amanda Price.
The Union County School District Board has voted to do away with the Union County varsity football team and move the program to the East Union Attendance Center.

SAVE Is a second recession on the way?
The CBO has long predicted anemic growth in 2013(1.1% when last year's forecast was made).
as a business owner, if you stop expending, hiring, investing in long term project and take a wait and see attitude, I would speculate that we shall enter a new recession. If you add to it technical analysis one can predict with high probability that we are on our way for a second recession. Do not be fool by a potential short live rally in the stock market which will be related to feds actions within the next few weeks.
There hasn't been any major austerity in Europe.
We're in for a long slow bleed. Time to fall back in love with stamp collecting and stairway to heaven.
Past prez Clinton says the reassign is already here.
Bond Market never says we never left recession
A second leg down will complete the cycle. After that how much inflation there will be depends on things like war, new technology, etc...
No recession.
Expansion is slowing but still expanding.
Time to get back into equity.
You want growth? Retrofit schools, hospitals and public buildings to be carbon-free -- transition them to solar and other renewables.
You would create millions of job and also create much new "green infrastructure" that will help to slow climate change.
Buildings (resi and comm) are responsible for 1/3 of all US carbon emissions.

Can a candy that contains no corn syrup or hydrogenated oils, less sugar and added nutrition be considered junk food? The new-driven food company called Unreal Brand seems to think so. Their mission; to unjunk the world.
Entrepreneur Michael Bronner and his 15-year-old-son created Unreal candy bars to prove to America that junk food doesn't need to be full of junk. That there is a way to unjunk America's junk food and still make it taste great, find it at the usual places, and not have to pay more for it.
After hundreds of recipes and nearly two years of intensive research and development, Unreal candy created five varieties :
UNREAL 41: Candy Coated Chocolates;
UNREAL 54: Candy Coated Chocolates with Peanuts;
UNREAL 77: Peanut Butter Cups;
UNREAL 5: Chocolate Caramel Nougat Bar; and
UNREAL8: Chocolate Peanut Caramel Nougat Bar.
Each of the candies feature familiar tastes, but contain 45 percent less sugar, 13 percent less fat, 23 percent fewer calories, 149 percent more protein and 250 percent more fiber than industry leading brands, on average per unit.
The beauty of this product, is you won't need to travel to an over priced health food store that willl leave a dent in your wallet. CVS/Pharmacy will begin unjunking candy aisles with Unreal in their approximately 7,300 stores nationwide beginning in July.

The Weather Channel has named Winter Storm Boreas. Into next week, Boreas will affect parts of the Southwest, Southern Plains and possibly the Northeast.
1. The storm has already approached the population and areal coverage which will be under National Weather Service winter weather thresholds for warnings that our team uses for naming a storm. This is only the beginning of what promises to be a long-lived winter weather system.
2. This is an early season winter event with potential significant impacts for parts of the nation so far south.
3. It is occurring on a weekend before the most heavily-traveled week of the year.
4. There is the potential that this system could re-emerge as a winter weather threat by midweek as it moves east along the Gulf then heads northeast back into air that is cold enough to produce snow in the Northeast.
Boreas is derived from the Greek god of "The cold north wind and bringer of winter". What an appropriate term since the first ingredient for this winter event is the arctic air that has already plunged south from Canada.
Boreas fathered two daughters and one was Khione, the goddess of snow. The other was Cleopatra.

Q: What is holding up the repairs of Murray Hill Road? First, we were told repairs would happen in December. Then it was after the first of the year. Now, here it is nearly the end of February. I'd like to know what is going on. - E.F., Fayetteville
A: They expect to start repairs within the next two weeks.
We know: You've heard that before. And they meant it before. Now, though, the city says there should be no more hurdles.
The city this week secured "right-of-entry" permission from the last of four property owners who'll be affected by the project, according to city spokesman Nathan Walls. The city had been seeking that permission for several months. The wait delayed the start of the repairs, Walls said.
The city now hopes that Sandy's Hauling & Backhoe Service of Roseboro, the contractor, will start replacing the culvert within the next two weeks. The $506,478 job is supposed to take up to 90 days.
The section of Murray Hill Road at Dwirewood Drive has been closed since July 13 after the drainage system underneath the road failed. City officials worried that traffic would cause that section of pavement to collapse. The road is a key entry and exit point for the Murray Hill subdivision off Cliffdale Road near Fayetteville Academy.
The new drainage system will consist of an aluminum arch culvert, which is supposed to last as long as a concrete culvert but take less time to install.
The aluminum culvert is also supposed to provide downstream improvements and slower water velocity at the outlet, Walls said.
Q: I had a stroke last June and my doctor has suggested that I take up tai chi or yoga to help with my blood pressure and to avoid depression. Do you know of any senior centers that offer these classes at an affordable rate for someone on a fixed income? - J.L., Fayetteville
A: How does free sound?
A free tai chi class is held at 8:30 every Tuesday morning at the Massey Hill Recreation Center at 1612 Camden Road. The class is sponsored by the national Multiple Sclerosis Society and was created to benefit people with multiple sclerosis, but it's open to anyone. Call 433-1569 for info.
Tokay Fitness Center, which serves people aged 55 and above, has a yoga class at 2 every Wednesday afternoon. It costs $20 a month. Call 433-1414 for info.
Yoga classes also are offered for fees at the rec centers at Lake Rim (433-1175) and Gray's Creek (433-1015).

Here's my initial thoughts on it in my comment in response to Nicole, who pointed out that maybe people are simply trying to engage others into communicating and maybe also showing that they are part of the community.
The main function of Twitter is "one way bursts". "LOOK AT ME!"
Gary's right that my immediate thought I had on your comment (other than what I just said about Twitter) is that, yes, it can be to elicit communication, like "look at my brand new bitchin' Camaro!" The expected response (communication) is positive reinforcement. You can see this when the goal is thwarted when a comment/response isn't just a gushing "attaboy!" God forbid if you question a workout: "You just did a 30 mile run with 9,000 ft of climb a week before your goal race? That doesn't seem to be smart training." Suddenly, the initial boast is tarnished and the boaster becomes defensive.
The question of whether what we discussed was in a positive or negative light is puzzling. It's simply an observation that ultrarunning has blossomed in conjunction with the blossoming of fluid social connections (internet, blogs, facebook, twitter, instagram, etc, etc.). And, I think, it's not only helped make ultrarunning seem [more] ordinary but it's changed the population of the sport from (speaking in general here) people who did it for the purity of the experience, e.g. Ed the ultrarunning physicist in Michigan in 1992, to people today who seem to often be motivated by what people will think of their exploits/achievements.
When I started running ultras and nobody in my social or running circle (and I had a running club I founded with over 700 members over a 4 year period!) ran ultras, I have to admit that I was partially motivated by the: 1. uniqueness - being different and 2. the praise from my peers for running long distances. Those probably made up 10% of the motivation at that time but they were clearly important to me. Whenever I've thought about DNF-ing a big race, one of the concerns are that I'll have to publicly acknowledge the failure and that fear of showing weakness to the world has helped to pushed me to finish races.
As I said, I'm generalizing. I know ultrarunners who have absolutely zero interest in people knowing about or providing accolades for their ultrarunning exploits. Kevin Rumon is a prime example. Anyone heard of him? Top 10 at Western States three times, 6:39 at American River 50, 3:54 at Way Too Cool 50k, ran Leadville 100, Wasatch 100, won Miwok 100k, just ran 4:05 at WTC50k three months ago at 52 years old. No blog, no twitter, no facebook, no boasting, enjoys talking about the sport but not his accomplishments. He got into it and does it for different reasons. There are many people out there like Kevin but we don't typically hear about them for obvious reasons. He never moved into the public forum or put up his electronic billboard.
My observation (neither intended as positive or negative or judging) is that people get into ultrarunning and are driven to do certain distances because they feel people are watching and they want to be impressive. They may say that they got into it and do it for personal challenge and that may certainly be part of the motivation. But they also thrive on and are pushed by the ego and praise from others. My guess is that if you took away many people's electronic billboards - FB, Twitter, Blogs, etc. you'd see a shift in many of their running lifestyles, training, race schedules, and running gear. The influence, motivation, and self-image is much different when no one is looking.
AND happy birthday to my best little friend, Pippit, who turns 12 today. He wandered into my life when he was just 12 weeks old and we've shared a lot of life together. Thanks for these last 12 years, little buddy.
"Birthday walk, please and thank you." |

The law passed at the height of America's civil rights movement, when citizens in parts of the country were fighting each other and sometimes authorities over how skin color impacts a person's place in a democracy.
Now, it's present and future are in doubt after the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision Tuesday that key parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 are no longer valid. The prevailing opinion leaves it to a divided Congress to revise the law, so that it's constitutional in the minds of a majority of justices.
The main reason for the ruling, Chief Justice John Roberts explained, was that "our country has changed" for the better. Deplorable conditions that spurred Congress five decades ago to require certain parts of the United States to "preclear" changes to voting laws "no longer characterize voting in the covered jurisdictions."
The formula that Congress enacted as recently as 2006, to determine which areas are covered by the act, has "no logical relation to the present day," Roberts wrote in the majority opinion.
"While any racial discrimination in voting is too much, Congress must ensure that the legislation it passes to remedy the problem speaks to the current conditions," he said.
Officials hailed the decision in places such as Selma and Shelby County, Alabama, which raised the case when it sued the federal government. But President Barack Obama did not, nor did civil rights leaders.
John Lewis is one of them. Born to sharecroppers in Alabama in 1940, he became a leader in the civil rights movement, working with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and others. In March 1965, he led hundreds protesting voting rights in Alabama when they were confronted by Alabama authorities after crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma -- an incident that became known as "Bloody Sunday."
Long a U.S. representative from Georgia, Lewis said what happened then is relevant now, and he claimed "numerous attempts to impede voting rights" nationwide still need to be addressed. To him, the high court decision -- which he said "stuck a dagger into the heart of the Voting Rights Act" -- is personal.
"These men never stood in unmovable lines," said Lewis of the justices, referring to voter registration ques that never moved. "They were never denied the right to participate in the democratic process. They were never beaten, jailed, run off their farms or fired from their jobs.
"No one they knew died simply trying to register to vote. They are not the victims of gerrymandering or contemporary unjust schemes to maneuver them out of their constitutional rights."
What the ruling says
Tuesday's ruling doesn't change the fact it's still illegal to discriminate against a person when it comes to voting. But it does change how some governments have been singled out. Unlike the rest of the nation, these municipalities, counties and states have had to get the federal government's approval first before they made any changes to their voting laws and regulations.
Civil rights groups say the Voting Rights Act -- specifically Section 5, the mechanism for the special treatment for some locales -- has been an important tool in protecting minority voters from governments with a history of setting unfair barriers to the polls. Lewis recalled some Tuesday, such as devious "literacy tests" or asking people to figure "the number of jelly beans in a jar."
"My own father, my own mother, my grandparents could not register to vote simply because of the color of their skin," he told CNN.
In her dissenting opinion, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg pointed out that Congress passed the latest installment of the Voting Rights Act with "overwhelming bipartisan support," saying the representatives legitimately exercised their constitutional powers in doing so.
"The sad irony of today's decision lies in (the court's) utter failure to grasp why the (law) has proven effective," Ginsburg wrote.
But her view didn't rule the day. Instead, the ruling decision overturned critical aspects of the law. Specifically, Section 4 -- the formula the federal government uses to determine which states and counties are subject to continued oversight -- was struck down. Roberts said that formula, which was devised in 1972 and later reauthorized by Congress, is outdated and unworkable.
That means Section 5 effectively cannot be enforced. It relies heavily on the coverage formula to determine which governments must still run any changes by the U.S. Justice Department.
In his ruling opinion, Roberts faulted Congress for not updating "the coverage formula" last decade to reflect changing times.
"Its failure leaves us today with no choice but to declare Section 4 unconstitutional," he wrote. "The formula in that section can no longer be used as a basis for subjecting jurisdictions to preclearance."
As Roberts noted, this doesn't make discrimination against voters legal, all of a sudden. But it does lift a key barrier to authorities in some states to make changes independently.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, for one, announced Tuesday that after the decision "the state's voter ID law will take effect immediately (and) redistricting maps passed by the Llegislature may also take effect without approval from the federal government."
"That basically gives a green light to these nine Southern states and a handful of other jurisdictions to change the law any way they want and basically say to the Justice Department, 'Catch me if you can,'" explained CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin.
"It looks like these Southern states are going to start making changes. And we'll see how that's going to affect the right to vote in the relatively near future."
Should every state, county be treated the same?

Mrs Birdee is a bird box designed for three of our most popular garden birds, robins, wrens and pied wagtails, each of which likes an open fronted nest box. It may also be used by spotted flycatchers. Delivered in a neat flat pack. Self assembly takes only a few minutes.Made in the UK from sustainable birch plywood (PEFC). Mrs Birdee is 19cm tall and 10cm wide
Open fronted nest boxes are more vulnerable to predators than hole entrance boxes, so they are best sited in inaccessible places. This also makes them more appealing to wrens, which like nests to be well hidden. It seems a shame to hide such a stunning bird box, but wedging it in a clump of brambles is probably what the wren would like most.

Chapter 3— The Transition to Electronic Content Licensing The Institutional Context in 1997
1. Clifford Lynch in "Technology and Its Implications for Serials Acquisitions," Against the Grain 9, no. 1 (1997): 31. This article is based on a talk by Lynch at the November 1996 Charleston Conference. He identifies the key needs in building digital libraries as authentication, printing, individual item addressability, accessibility, and linkage. Lynch concludes with this insight: "The theme I want to underscore here is that we need to be very careful about whether we have technology that can deliver this electronic content for which we are busy negotiating financial arrangements in acceptable ways on a broad systemic basis" [emphasis is mine]. [BACK]
2. The position statement "Fair Use in the Electronic Age: Serving the Public Interest" is an outgrowth of discussions among a number of library associations regarding intellectual property and, in particular, the concern that the interests and rights of copyright owners and users remain balanced in the digital environment. This important position statement was developed by representatives of the following associations: American Association of Law Libraries, American Library Association, Association of Academic Health Sciences Library Directors, Association of Research Libraries, Medical Library Association, and Special Libraries Association. It espouses the philosophy that the U.S. copyright law was created to advance societal goals and well-being and embeds the notion of technological neutrality. It can be found at: http://www.arl.org/info/frn/copy/fairuse.html. [BACK]
3. I have recently had the opportunity to read statements from the international publishing community in two major position papers originating with the International Publishers Copyright Council, the STM group of publishers, and the International Publishers Association. These documents affirm the following:
· Digital versions of works are not the same as print versions, because digital information can be manipulated and widely distributed. (The implication is that manipulation and distribution will happen and that it is happening with copyrighted works, often in an illegal manner.)
· Digital versions of works need even more protection than printed versions.
· Digital browsing is not the same as reading print: the very act of browsing involves reproducing copies (which immediately implicates and possibly violates copyright law).
· There should be no private or personal exemptions from copyright in the digital environment.
· There should be no exceptional copyright treatment for libraries in the digital environment-the exemptions for traditional materials, if carried over into the digital environment, will result in unfair competition with publishers.
· Digital lending (a digital analog to ILL) will destroy publishers.
· Publishers are now poised to offer and charge for electronic delivery of information and therefore they ought to be able to. Such services will replace most of the copying that libraries and individuals used to do in print.
· The role of libraries will be to provide access, select materials for users via what they choose to license, instruct users in the vast array of electronic sources and how to use them, and support users in searching and research and learning needs. [BACK]
4. See the 30 June 1996 decision by the United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit, in ProCD v. Zeidenberg. The question posed was: must buyers of computer software obey the terms of shrink-wrap licenses? The district court had said not. The court of appeals reversed this decision. ProCD (the plaintiffs) compiled information from more than 3,000 phone directories into one database with additional information such as zip code extensions and included their own searching software. They packaged the product, called SelectPhone, as a CD for personal sale in a shrink-wrap box. They also sold it to commercial companies in other formats, such as mailing lists. Mr. Zeidenberg bought SelectPhone at a shop in Madison, Wis., and formed a company to resell the information on the basis that factual information cannot be copyrighted. He made this information available over the Internet apparently quite cheaply. Zeidenberg argued that a person cannot be bound by the shrink-wrap license because the terms are not known at the time of purchase. They are inside the package and the purchaser cannot be bound by terms that are secret at the time of purchase. The judges' decision was that the shrink-wrap license is legal and that a buyer is bound by it. [BACK]
5. See Martha Kellogg, "CD-ROM Products as Serials: Cost Considerations for Libraries," in Serials Review 17, no. 3 (1991): 49-60. The tables in this article, as a basis of comparison between print reference or indexing and abstracting works and their CD equivalents, show a difference of about 30% where resources are comparable. Recent e-mail from the University of Michigan Library suggests that differentials between print and electronic works are as high as 600%. [BACK]

9. Ann Okerson, "Buy or Lease? Two Models for Scholarly Information at the End (or the Beginning) of an Era," Daedalus 125, no. 4 (1996): 55-76. This special issue on libraries is called "Books, Bricks, and Bytes." I suggest that one possible outcome of the new trend to scaled-up consortial licensing activities is that the library marketplace will gain significant power and that publishers of scholarly information could find themselves in quite a different position than they are in the captive marketplace of today. It is possible to argue that such an outcome is very healthy; on the other hand, even librarians and scholars might find this outcome undesirable in that it would put today's specialized scholarly publications, with their attendant high prices, out of business. The Daedalus piece can also be found at http://www.library.yale.edu/~okerson/daedalus.html. [BACK]
10. For example, an especially rich resource is the site of the University of Texas Office of General Counsel's Copyright Management Center. The center provides guidance and information to faculty, staff, and students concerning applicable law and the alternatives available to help accomplish educational objectives. A large number of materials, organized by topic, is accessible through this Web site. Some important documents are stored directly on the Web server. The principal author is Georgia Harper, copyright counsel for the University of Texas System. The URL is http://www.utsystem.edu/ogc/intellectualproperty/cprtindx.htm.
The higher education community is indebted to, among others, Indiana University's Kenneth Crews, an important voice in CONFU (see, for example, the CETUS Fair Use document at http://www.cetus.org/fairindex.html ); the University of North Carolina Law School's Lolly Gasaway, also a leader in CONFU and contributor of many important resources (see, for example, "When Works Pass Into the Public Domain" at http://www.library.yale.edu/~okerson/pubdomain.html ); and Karen Hersey of the MIT Counsel's Office, a leader in crafting university-producer electronic license agreements and a frequent workshop presenter on this topic.

13. LIBLICENSE-L is a moderated list for the discussion of issues related to the licensing of digital information by academic and research libraries. To join the LIBLICENSE-L list, send a message to email@example.com. Leave the subject line blank. In the body of the message, type: subscribe LIBLICENSE-L Firstname Lastname [BACK]
14. A LIBLICENSE-L message of February 12, 1997, enumerated a dozen different pricing models for electronic resources, and correspondents added several more in subsequent discussion. [BACK]
15. Several reasons are advanced for the higher cost of electronic resources versus comparable print resources: (1) the producers are making new R&D and technology investments whose significant prices are passed on to the customer; (2) producers of journals generally offer a package that includes print plus electronic versions, giving the customer two different forms of the same information rather than one only; (3) the functionality of electronic resources is arguably higher than that of the print version; (4) electronic resources are not marketed as single journals or books but as scaled-up collections, often of substantial heft (consider the corpora of humanities full texts marketed by Chadwyck-Healey, the large backfile collections of JSTOR, the full collection of Academic Press titles available under its IDEAL program; it seems that there is little incentive for producers to create and sell one electronic item at a time); and (5) the publisher, in becoming the source or site or provider, is taking on many of the library's roles and costs. [BACK]
16. A LIBLICENSE-L message of March 14,1997, defined aggregators in the following way: 'Aggregation' as used on this list means the bundling together or gathering together of electronic information into electronic collections that are marketed as a package. For example, DIALOG@CARL aggregates 300 databases; Academic Press's IDEAL aggregates 170+ journals; Johns Hopkins's Project MUSE is an electronic collection of 40+ journals, and so on. But the term 'aggregator' is more usually used in describing the supplier who assembles the offerings of more than one publisher, so one is more likely to hear Dialog, OCLC, Information Access, and UMI spoken of as aggregators, than The Johns Hopkins University Press." [BACK]
17. License negotiations between libraries and producers now do take into account the matter of electronic archiving, or at least the parties pay lip service to perpetual access. For example, it is common for an electronic resource license to offer some form of access or data if the library cancels a license or if the provider goes out of business. However, while the license addresses this matter, the underlying solutions are far from satisfactory for either party. I leave the matter of archiving, a huge topic and concern, to other venues; clearly the whole underpinnings of libraries and culture are at stake, depending on the outcomes of the archiving dialogues that are in place now and will surely outlast our lifetimes. [BACK]
18. At Yale, for example, after close discussions on this matter with the library to make sure that points of view were in synch, general counsel delegated library content licensing to senior library administration and it is now done by the associate university librarian for collections with considerable support and backstopping by Yale's public services and collections librarians in effective and productive teamwork. [BACK]
19. In fact, the software development was funded by CLIR (formerly the Council on Library Resources) in June 1997, and its product is now available at http://www.library.yale.edu/ ~ llicense/software.shtml). [BACK]
20. The case, Princeton University Press v. Michigan Document Services, Inc., asked the question: does a copy shop infringe on publishers' copyrights when it photocopies course pack materials? This material comprises book chapters and articles for students of nearby colleges and universities. The owner of Michigan Document Services argued that he was copying on behalf of the students and exercising their fair use rights. The recent appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit found for the publishers. For extensive documentation on this matter, see Stanford's Fair Use site at http://fairuse.stanford.edu/mds/. [BACK]

Cellar/Tasting Notes "... This is a gorgeous wine, a classic blend of 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise and the balance the other permitted varietals in the appellation. Deep purple, with loads of bouquet garni, beef blood, blackberry, kirsch, smoke and truffle, this wine is full-bodied, rich and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes, ratchets up the level of succulence, juiciness, and opulence. It is a fabulous, compelling effort of multiple dimensions. Classic aromas and flavors of licorice, kirsch liqueur, balsam wood, and lavender are found in this enormously full-bodied..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is unusually elegant in 2010 with its refined nose of raspberry and earth though there are background notes of grilled meat and smoke. The supple, mouth coating and utterly delicious broad-shouldered flavors possess a silky texture yet there is plenty of power and punch to the very firmly..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A beautiful effort, the 2009 Pichon Lalande, a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, possesses copious mocha, lead pencil, unsmoked, high class tobacco, black currant, forest floor and herbaceous characteristics. It is a deep purple-hued, charming, surprisingly open-knit..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Rich, yet always elegant, this has raspberry flavor and terrific acidity that creates tension, contrasting with the opulent fruit. While it's structured, it will soften and round out over the next five years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Bottled very late (November, 1997), the 1995 has continued to flesh out, developing into one of the great classics made under the Mentzelopoulos regime. The color is opaque ruby/purple. The nose offers aromas of licorice and sweet smoky new oak intermixed with jammy black fruits, licorice, and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot, this wine represents only 34% of Lafite's total harvest. In a less than perfect Medoc vintage, it has been spectacular since birth, putting on more weight and flesh over the last year. This opaque purple-colored 1998 is close to perfection. The..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is undisputably the wine of the vintage, a year that was clearly over-exposed and over-rated, largely because it was better than the four vintages that preceded it ... The 1975 La Mission-Haut-Brion, which consistently received perfect scores in its first thirty years of life, remains a..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 1959 is unquestionably the greatest Lafite-Rothschild that has approached full maturity ... The super-aromatic bouquet of flowers, black truffles, cedar, lead pencil, and red fruits is followed by one of the most powerful and concentrated Lafites I have tasted. Medium to full-bodied,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Dark garnet with an amber edge, the 1959 Latour reveals a touch of volatile acidity in the nose, along with aromas of melted caramel, tobacco, and jammy red and black fruits. As the wine sat in the glass, notes of minerals, coffee, spice, and underbrush emerged ... this sumptuous, complex,..
