Careful cultivation the key to avoiding trouble
THE processes of wetting and drying, freezing, thawing, root growth, soil organisms and soil cultivations all contribute to the development of soil structure.
The wetting and drying cycle can affect the entire rooting depth. In heavier soils cracks open as the clay shrinks and roots can then grow through these cracks further loosening the soil.
In soils with low clay content, root growth is vital to maintaining an open structure. The exploring roots probe the soil and as they die, they leave channels for other roots to follow.
Fine crumb structures are developed in grassland by the fibrous roots of grasses. This can be seen when you shake out a tuft of grassland soil compared to a dug up section of bare soil.
Freezing and thawing also play an important role in developing soil structure by shattering clods in the surface layer. This process is vitally important in clay soils.
Earthworms and other soil organisms loosen the soil and provide drainage channels. They also produce binding agents which stabilise the overall structure.
Cultivation is required to produce a suitable rooting environment for crops, but cultivation can lead to compaction which is characterised by the lack of vertical cracks, making it difficult for the movement of roots and water. The larger pores are lost and this can lead to poor drainage.
Regular application of lime, farmyard manure and other organic materials are beneficial for both aggregation formation and stability since they promote the activity of soil fauna and soil micro organisms.

What Makes a Godly Person Godly?
There is a four-fold truth in why Jesus came. First, He came to give us Himself. Secondly, He came to destroy the works of the devil. Thirdly, He came to separate a people for Himself. And fourthly, He came to give His people one heart together. All four purposes can revolve around the word 'godly.' Let's talk about it.
This is Bible Study DU031 - What Makes a Godly Person, Godly?
The simple answer for what makes a person godly, is God Himself. The word for godly in the Hebrew language speaks of those who reflect the character of God in their actions and personality. In this case it speaks of those who have a personal relationship with God.
This is why we have to take the term godly away from the term religious. Sometimes God's people flounder around looking for the best religion, or even a better religion. The problem is that Jesus did not come to give us another religion, or a better religion, or even the best religion. He came to give us a wonderful relationship with heaven.
Jesus settled the argument about religion in His conversation with the lady at the well. Listen:
Lady - "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet, our fathers worshipped in this mountain, but you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."
Jesus - "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father."
The Lord goes on to say, "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshippers." (Cf. John 4:19-23)
Jesus is saying that in the new covenant true worship will never be about the place. It will be about a heart alignment with God. This is why God's people should never confuse the place we worship with worship itself. True worship is deeply personal. It is in worship that we experience oneness with God and with one another.
Why is it so important to understand this? It is important because it dismantles the very heart of religious division. Many sectarian groups do better at attacking other Christians than anything else. (Sectarianism speaks of the narrow-mindedness of a particular sect or party or denomination.)
This brings us back to the word 'godly.' The Greek term for 'godliness' in simple terms simply means 'good worship.' (God-towardness.) Godly people have a true heart of worship and reverence towards God. This is why godly people cannot simply be religious.
A point to be made is that we must never credit a denomination for making a person godly. A good godly Baptist would make a good godly Methodist, or a good godly Pentecostal, or a good godly Presbyterian. While our Christian traditions may differ, godliness will always be a thing of the heart.
Jesus said that the true worshippers would worship the Father in spirit and in truth. Truth means realness in contrast to appearances. Think about it --- If godly people live in tune with heaven, then they will also be in tune with one another. Godly people have no problem recognizing one another. They speak the same language. Their desires are one and the same. Their worship comes from the same spirit of truth.
Are godly people hard to find? Not really. Godly people have the Spirit of God in them. They all share the same love for Jesus. This is why Paul instructed young Timothy to find those worshippers who have a pure heart towards the Lord.
Listen: "Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart." (2Ti 2:22)
True worshippers are to gather with other true worshippers. We are to be cautious about sectarianism or any group that supposes 'they are the way' group. Every 'we are the way' group is divisive at its very core.
Paul defines these 'we are the way' groups as self-made religion. Hear what he wrote: "If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as, do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!"
He goes on to say, "These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence."
Paul's entire contention in Colossians has to do not getting caught up in sectarianism. He earlier said, "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--things which are a mere shadow of what is to come, but the substance belongs to Christ." (Cf. Col 2)
Paul also warned the Corinthians in the matter -- "But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ." (2Co 11:3)
So - Did Jesus come to give us a religion? I think not. He came to give us Himself. He came to give us the reality of the Father, and a purity of worship and devotion to Him. He came to give us one heart together. He came to give us Christian love, a love than transcends all boundaries of the Christian groupings. He came to make us one with Himself and with heaven.
We are to gather with those who see true worship as relational to Jesus and to the heavenly Father, and not with some group who sees themselves as being the truth. Jesus alone is the truth. Jesus Himself said that there would be tares among the wheat.
It is not a matter of finding a church with no flaws. As long as the human element is involved, there will be human issues to deal with. However, we should seek to gather with those believers who recognize that there are true believers among all who gather in His name.
One other point I need to make -- I believe that a great sign of the end times is sometimes overlooked. (In my opinion.) The great sign of the end time church is the division between the godly and the simply religious.
Listen carefully to this prophetic Psalm -- "He summons the heavens above, and the earth, to judge His people: 'Gather My godly ones to Me, those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.'" (Ps 50:4,5 - The judging here is the separating of His godly ones from all others. The sacrifice speaks to the those who have come through the cross.)
Is this greater sign happening in the church today? Yes. I am seeing it take place in groups like the Women of Faith Conferences, missions groups by the hundreds such as Christians Sharing Christ, in youth programs such as Awana, in untold para-church organizations. I'm speaking of gatherings that are wholly for Jesus and not for some sectarian idea.
Godly people are gathering all over this planet to join in true worship, and they are recognizing one another as true worshippers together.
Not long ago Betty and I went on a Gaither Home-Coming Cruise with several thousand people from all Christian backgrounds. What made the cruise so awesome is that there were no religious distinctions to be found. The worship was like a flowing river. It did not matter who you sat with at the breakfast table, you instantly fell into sweet fellowship.
Does this mean we should forsake our home churches? Never. Our home churches are our personal family-gathering places of worship. The Lord has always flocked His people into groupings. He gives us under-shepherds to help teach us His ways.
What we should forsake, however, is any notion that our denomination or our church or our group is exclusive to God. Nor should we set about to try and create a unity. God gave us a unity. The unity we are to keep is our unity in Jesus Christ. Jesus came to give us oneness with the heavenly Father. Let's keep that oneness.
Just something to think about.

Today we cleaned... boy did we! Pastor Carlos and Reginaldo had us start upstairs with our rooms. We scrubbed the floors of all the rooms, the hallway, the card room,and the computer room. Once we finished the upstairs, we moved down stairs. This is where Dyane brought us the backstreet boys. As we moved the pews in order to mop the floor, we also jammed to the backstreet boys. ha ha. Oh man, talk about taking me back... to the 8th grade! This cleaning process only took 2 hours. Not half bad if you ask me! Rodrigo came and picked us up for the Ribeirao Preto art fair. This was a neat thing. It was set up in a square... filled with booths made up of homemade crafts, jewlery, paintings, wood things, food, etc. Oh yes, may I never forget about the rain... RAIN OF BIRD POOP!! Ha ha. We had to file under blue tarps, which were connected to each booth. It was run or be pelted!! He he. As a fantastic treat, Rodrigo stopped by our favorite Ice cream shop... Geraldos!!! MMM... chocolate e sensasao! Muito bom! We perfected some pretty hot dance moves for the talent show tomorrow!! Holler!

Frontiers of Dreams and Fears Trailer (2001)
This heartfelt documentary from award-winning filmmaker Mai Masri explores the enduring friendship that evolves between two Palestinian girls—Mona, who was born and raised in the economically marginalized Shatila refugee camp in Beirut, and Manar, who lives in the Dheisha refugee camp under Israeli control. The two girls begin their friendship as penpals, sharing the similarities and differences of life in the two refugee camps. Mona and Manar are finally able to meet face-to-face at the Lebanese-Israeli border during Israel's withdrawal from South Lebanon. But when the second intifada suddenly erupts around them shortly thereafter, both girls must face heart-breaking changes in their lives.

text: 2 days with the Epic and really love it. It's my 3rd Smart phone. My first was a Samsung SCH-i760 Running Windows mobile on Verizon. I loved that phone. And my respect for the Samsung was one of the main reasons I chose the Epic over the Evo. My second phone is a Blackberry 8900. I hate it. I have it only because of work. I hate the keyboard and the browser, and no touch screen. And I'm not too thrilled with ATT. I can't add to the positive things people have said about the Epic. I love the screen and the apps. Here are a couple very little problems: When you're watching a video in landscape, the volume control is on the bottom of the phone and not accessible. I know you can adjust the volume with the touch screen, but I'd rather use the physical switch. I plan to get the media stand. I understand it has a headphone jack that will not work until the 2.2 upgrade. Does anyone know if it has a volume control? Second issue, when you see a list of videos in the Gallery, you can't see the video title. This is very frustrating, since one of my main uses for the phone is as a video viewer. Third, no flash. I was surprised by this. I guess I should have done more research. Hopefully I'll see some flash with the 2.2 upgrade. I have some questions about apps and functions and things like that, but I'll put that into separate posts.

It's important to note that all dogs are individuals and even if socialized they may later develop issues in social situations. This is a dog trait not necessarily a breed or type of dog characteristic. In other words it can happen with any dog regardless of breeding or training. However, early socialization does help lessen the chance that any issues will arise.
The key to keeping your dog social is starting young. Dogs benefit most between 12-18 weeks. During this time it's crucial to provide the most socialization with other dogs, people, and animals.
Always be sure they are controlled, fun, and positive interactions. Also be sure your puppy Is protected with immunizations. It's recommended that these sessions are in a safe environment such as your own yard. Many do not recommend dog parks.
Dogs are often more excited and aroused in these environments. The lack of attention from other owners may cause a free for all among the dogs. Some dogs may get pushed around by the more excitable ones. If owners aren't watching their dogs every movement a fight could break out.. Humans are generally the reason it's not a recommended place to have your dog. Some don't manage or control their dogs. By letting this kind of situation happen not only are you setting up your dog to fail but it creates an uncontrolled and negative place for you and your dog to be.
The best type of interaction would be with friends. Find dogs that yours enjoy spending time with. Plan doggie play dates. In a controlled visit such as these you are more able to introduce your dogs slowly and keep things positive and peaceful for all involved.
Be sure you practice good dog etiquette. Never allow your dog to just run up and greet a dog, especially ones they do not know. Such a meeting cute have a negative reaction. After all in the canine world this is considered rude. If they are allowed this kind of interaction it could lead to altercations and negative experiences with dogs now and in the future. Always keep your dog distracted by having them focus on you versus the other dogs. Avoiding a stare down and leash reactivity is important.
Let the dogs get used to each other's presence before they have any sort of interactions. The best way to achieve this is by walking them side by side. This allows the dogs to get acquainted in a non threatening situation. Make sure they greet side by side versus nose to nose. According to the canine world it's also acceptable to meet nose to rear.
Basically to recap these are important things to remember:
- Keep your dogs social throughout their life
- Set up play dates with other dogs and owners that you can trust
- Make sure you have regular play dates with their new friends
- Avoid situations that could set your dog up to fail
- Focus on good leash means so that they will always focus on you
- Use distraction techniques when another dog is near
- Puppy and dog training classes are recommended
- Above all be sure to maintain the leadership (dogs prefer leaders)

Or, Xavier could come out and say "I don't mind being challenged. Let's get this show on the road."
It's Heisley's pocket. Don't forget that.

Or Heisley could bargain in good faith, which he's not doing. If it is customary for NBA teams to pay a certain amount, and Heisley is in effect offering less than that amount, when he lacks the leverage to extract any kind of premium, and Henry is not allowed to court offers from other teams and his only leverage is to hold out until he's traded to a team that will negotiate with him in good faith, then he's doing the right thing by holding out.
And make no bones about it. Heisley is bargaining in bad faith. The customary practice is to pay 120% with nominal incentives that just about any rookie should be able to meet. Regardless of what anyone thinks about whether that sought to be the practice, it is in fact the practice. And Heisley is making a fool of himself and the organization, and harming the organization's prospects of trying to hold on to/ attract, not just Henry, but other high caliber players in the future by trying to take the so-called high ground. LA or Orlando might be able to get away with this (though they probably wouldn't need to). Memphis can't
The fact is, Heisley foolishly drafted Thabeet (and Caroll, too) last year and got burned. Now he's trying to take that out on Henry. But it isn't Henry's fault that the Grizzlies draft poorly. That lies purely at the feet of the organization

Scott Boras thinks Cubs should call Kris Bryant up
Should the Cubs have called up top prospect Kris Bryant this September? His agent, Scott Boras, believes so.
Rosters have now expanded across Major League Baseball, as the minor-league regular seasons have concluded and each big-league ballclub is allowed September callups. Perhaps the biggest remaining minor-league name, Kris Bryant of the Cubs, is not among the callups.
This wasn't a surprise, as the Cubs have insisted all season that he wasn't getting called up this year, but that didn't stop Scott Boras, Bryant's agent, from wondering why plans didn't change, via suntimes.com:
"But if this is a performance-driven industry as it should be, Bryant deserves the callup, based on performance," said Boras. "What's best for the player, what's best for the team in 2015? The goal here is trying to make the team the best it can be in 2015. And what can you do to ready him for that?"
What say you, Cubs president Theo Epstein? Again, via the suntimes.com story:
"I do think the presumption for a player finishing his first full professional season is that he won't be called up unless there's a dire need in the big leagues, unless he can contribute to a team that's in contention," Epstein said. "A first full professional season is a long grind, whether he realizes it or not. It's appropriate to go home and rest and go get some active rest physically and let some things soak in mentally and come back ready to go for what we hope will be a seven-month season for him next year.
"I certainly think he's close enough he can start setting his sights on the big leagues. Whenever that time comes, we don't know, but he's getting closer. There's a good chance if he continues to develop he'll spend the vast majority of 2015 in the big leagues. And we find a way to be a really competitive team, we're looking to play seven months, not six."
I don't really see either side as completely unreasonable.
Bryant's 138-game workload -- which doesn't even include spring training or All-Star Games -- is a pretty big leap from college and summer ball, especially given the travel demands he was facing for a first full professional season. With the Cubs not in contention, there's no reason to press him into action just to appease Boras and some fans. If a player is worn down, the injury risk goes up.
From Boras' point of view, he's just trying to get his client to the ultimate stage for baseball players. And one does wonder if Bryant isn't at least a bit irked he won't get the call. He hit .325/.438/.661 with 34 doubles, 43 homers, 110 RBI and 15 steals this season across Double-A and Triple-A. He's seen other Cubs promoted in front of him, none of whom performed as ridiculously well as he did -- at least not for the full season, as Jorge Soler's time was abbreviated due to injury. In a true meritocracy, we'd be hard pressed to say Bryant doesn't "deserve" it.
Of course, things are more complicated than that with service time, 40-man roster considerations and, again, the issue Epstein raised about physically wearing Bryant down when not in a pennant race. I also wonder if he definitely needs an adjustment period as badly as Javier Baez and Arismendy Alcantara needed them. He hasn't struggled at any level to this point in his professional career while the others had provided the Cubs reasons to believe they needed this end-of-2014 seasoning in the bigs.
To this point, Bryant has said and done all the right things and handled everything as professionally as possible. The Cubs won't be budging and have reasons that make sense. And Boras would like to get his client to the bigs sooner, as ultimately that's the path to more dollars for his client.
For me, it doesn't seem like there's anyone blatantly in the right or wrong here, but it's certainly an interesting discussion point.

An Athens man was charged with felony murder and malice murder Monday after the man he is accused of shooting a week ago in west Athens died, Athens-Clarke police said.
Stacy Demarko Barnett, 28, died about 11 p.m. Sunday while still on the life support systems that had kept him alive since being shot the night of May 5 outside a Westchester Drive condominium, according to police.
Witnesses told investigators Barnett was attending a party at the condo when 33-year-old Dorunte Cortez Williams came to the door shortly before 11 p.m. and asked for Barnett by name, police said.
Barnett, of North Billups Street, went outside with Williams and was shot once in the neck at close range, police said.
Williams was arrested by Atlanta police two days later in DeKalb County, police said.
Barnett remained in the intensive care unit at Athens Regional Medical Center without ever being taken off life support until he died from the gunshot wound Sunday, police said.
Williams initially was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and is being held in the Clarke County Jail.
It is the second time Williams has been charged with murder.
He had been arrested in DeKalb County in 1996, but the charge was reduced to involuntary manslaughter in a plea deal, police said. He was paroled from state prison in April 1999.
Police on Monday still didn't have a motive for the shooting, but by the way it was done, it was apparent that Williams had a personal grievance with Barnett, according to police.
"He specifically asked for him by name," Athens-Clarke police Capt. Clarence Holeman said.
The party Barnett was attending was a gathering of about 10 people to watch the pay-per-view boxing match between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Oscar De La Hoya, police said.
Partygoers recognized Williams when he came to the door, but none of the witnesses knew of possible reasons the man would have to shoot Barnett, according to police.
Barnett, who had an Alpharetta address, used to live on Lombardy Circle, less than five miles from where Williams once lived with a girlfriend on North Bluff Drive, police said.
The victim has family in Athens.
Barnett's death was the first confirmed homicide in Athens-Clarke County this year, although two days before Barnett died the bodies of two Norcross men were found in a manhole in western Clarke County.
Police said brothers Caesar Portillo and Israel Portillo, both reported missing to Norcross police on April 20, had no known local ties and could have been killed elsewhere before their bodies were dumped in a subdivision being built off U.S. Highway 78 in Bogart.

61 year old Park faces major challenges being the leader of one of the largest economies. The biggest challenge in front of her is the 'belligerent regime in the North, a slowing economy and soaring welfare costs in one of the world's most rapidly ageing societies'.
Calling for North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions and rejoin the international community, Park said, "North Korea's recent nuclear test is a challenge to the survival and future of the Korean people, and there should be no mistake that the biggest victim will be none other than North Korea itself."
"I will not tolerate any action that threatens the lives of our people and the security of our nation," Park said adding, "I will move forward step-by-step on the basis of credible deterrence."
Most of the Park's inaugural speech focused on the 'economy, and included commitments to job creation, expanded welfare and "economic democratisation" at a time of growing concern with income and wealth disparity'.
In a clear warning to the giant, family-run conglomerates, or "chaebols," that dominate the national economy, Park promised a more level-playing field and a "fair market" where small and medium-sized businesses could flourish.
"By rooting out various unfair practices and rectifying the misguided habits of the past which have frustrated small business owners... we will provide active support to ensure that everyone can live up to their fullest potential," she said.
As South Korea's first-ever female president, Park will lead a country that is ranked below the likes of Suriname and the United Arab Emirates in gender equality.
South Korea's journey from war-torn poverty to Asia's fourth-largest economy has done little to break the male stranglehold on political and commercial power in what in many ways remains a very conservative nation.
The two and a half hour inauguration included a 21-gun salute and a performance from Korean rapper Psy of his song "Gangnam Style" -- the global hit of 2012.

Why it matters: On June 29, 2015, the Second Circuit in 16 Casa Duse, LLC v. Merkin et al. held that a film's director does not own a separate copyright interest in the film. In so doing, the court followed the Ninth Circuit's recent en banc decision (reversing its own panel) in Garcia v. Google et al., which came to the same conclusion with respect to an actor's performance in a film.
Detailed discussion: On June 29, 2015, the Second Circuit in the case of16 Casa Duse, LLC v. Merkin et al. upheld the district court's grant of summary judgment and preliminary injunction in favor of the plaintiff film production company and held that the defendant film director did not own a separate copyright interest in the film. In so doing, the court specifically agreed with the conclusion that the Ninth Circuit, sitting en banc, reached on May 18, 2015, in Garcia v. Google et al., when it reversed the earlier decision of its own panel to hold that an actor in a film did not hold a separate copyright interest in her performance (see our discussion of theGarcia decision in our June 2015 newsletter). Also part of the suit but not addressed here, the court reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff with respect to state tortious interference with business relations claims and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings on that issue.
To briefly recap the relevant facts, in September 2010, Robert Krakovski, the principal of Brooklyn-based film production company 16 Casa Duse, LLC asked Alex Merkin to direct a short film he was financing and producing titled Heads Up. Merkin agreed, and Krakovski and Merkin informally agreed on a fee of $1,500 for Merkin's services. In February 2011, Krakovski sent Merkin a draft work-for-hire "Director Employment Agreement" that contained a provision that Casa Duse owned all rights, including the copyright, in the film. Merkin never signed the agreement, ignoring Krakovski's numerous requests that he do so. Nevertheless, production on the film began in May 2011 and, during the three days of filming, Merkin "performed his role as director by advising and instructing the film's cast and crew on matters ranging from camera angles and lighting to wardrobe and make-up to the actors' dialogue and movement." In June 2011, Krakovski gave Merkin a hard drive containing the raw film footage and asked him to help edit it. Because Merkin had never signed the work-for-hire Director Employment Agreement, Krakovski and Merkin entered into a "Media Agreement" under which Merkin would edit the film but not exploit any of the footage without Casa Duse's permission. Afterwards, Krakovski emailed Merkin seeking to amend the terms of the Media Agreement so as to "clarify" that Casa Duse had not relinquished any of its rights contained in the work-for-hire agreement. Merkin responded by "clarifying" that he would not give up "any creative or artistic rights" he had in the film, which rights were his property and not the property of Casa Duse. Much legal wrangling ensued. Over the next four months, negotiations broke down, with Merkin refusing to return the raw footage to Krakovski, claiming it was his property, and "forbidding" Krakovski to make use of it. In the meantime, Krakovski hired another editor to edit the raw footage into a film. In January 2012, unbeknownst to Krakovski, Merkin registered a copyright in the raw footage of the film with the U.S. Copyright Office. In March 2012, Krakovski began submitting Heads Up to film festivals and organized a screening and reception (subsequently canceled) for the film at the New York Film Academy. Merkin began sending "cease and desist" letters to festival organizers and the Academy, prompting Krakovski to file a complaint in the Southern District of New York in May 2012 seeking relief under both the federal copyright and state tortious interference laws. On May 18, 2012, the district court granted a preliminary injunction against Merkin interfering with Krakovski's use of the film, and on September 27, 2013, the district court granted Krakovski's motion for summary judgment on the grounds that, inter alia, Merkin did not own a separate copyright in the film or the raw footage. The parties appealed to the Second Circuit.
The court began its analysis by stating up front that "[t]his case requires us to answer a question of first impression in this Circuit: May a contributor to a creative work whose contributions are inseparable from, and integrated into, the work maintain a copyright interest in his or her contributions alone? We conclude that, at least on the facts of the present case, he or she may not." After establishing that Merkin was neither a "joint author" of nor "work-for-hire" on the film, the court first looked to the applicable provisions of the federal Copyright Act and determined that, based on the facts of the case, Merkin's "contributions to the film did not themselves constitute a 'work of authorship' amenable to copyright protection." The court cited to legislative history and to interpretations issued by the Copyright Office to support this conclusion.
The court then looked to the Ninth Circuit Garcia case, noting that a three-judge panel had initially held "to the contrary" with respect to the actor in that case who was seeking to claim a copyright interest in her performance in a film, finding that "copyright protection may subsist in an actor's performance in a motion picture" because her performance exhibited a "minimal degree of creativity" that was "fixed" in a tangible medium as part of the completed film. However, the court emphasized that the panel's decision was reversed by the Ninth Circuit sitting en banc on May 18, 2015, which had concluded that the actor's " 'theory of copyright law would result in [a] legal morass … [making] Swiss cheese of copyrights.' "
The court agreed with the Ninth Circuit's en banc decision reversing its panel, stating that "[f]ilmmaking is a collaborative process typically involving artistic contributions from large numbers of people, including—in addition to producers, directors, and screenwriters—actors, designers, cinematographers, camera operators, and a host of skilled technical contributors. If copyright subsisted separately in each of their contributions to the completed film, the copyright in the film itself, which is recognized by statute as a work of authorship, could be undermined in any number of individual claims." The court stated that, while the various contributors to a film may make "original creative expressions" that are arguably "fixed in the medium of film footage," that alone is not sufficient, holding that "[a]uthors are not entitled to copyright protection except for the 'works of authorship' they create and fix."
The court went on to state that "[o]ur conclusion in the present case does not suggest that motion picture directors such as Merkin may never achieve copyright protection for their creative efforts," noting that the director can be the sole or joint author of the film and secure copyright protection in that way. In addition, the court noted that authors of "freestanding works" that are incorporated into a film, such as a dance performance or song, can secure copyright protection for them. The court concluded, however, that "a director's contribution to an integrated 'work of authorship' such as a film is not itself a 'work of authorship' subject to its own copyright protection."
With respect to the raw footage of the film, the court agreed with the district court that Merkin didn't hold a copyright interest in that either. The court found that Casa Duse was the "dominant author" of the film in all of its stages and "[t]he record does not reflect any developments that occurred between the creation of the raw film footage and Casa Duse's attempts to create a finished product that would alter this analysis." Thus, the court concluded that "Casa Duse, not Merkin, owns the copyright in the finished film and its prior versions, including the disputed 'raw film footage.'"

Hello Ladies,
Congrats to the BFP, Empathy to the BFN and patience offered to the TWW'ers.
I am 11DP5DT and the patence is wearing off. I plan to HPT tomorrow and have BT's on Monday so all will be revealed soon.
But I have a questions for all the lucky BFP's if thats okay?
I have not had any symptoms or signs this cycle (last time I seemed to have all but still got BFN) I was not worried as I thought last time at least one lady with no symptoms got a BFP. Anyway today my clinic called to confimr BT on Monday and asked how I was feeling, when I said completely normal she said OWE ORRR (like I should be having something?) The only symptom I have is a bloated belly and large boobs which likely have more to do with progesterone than anything else. Thoughts anyone???
Did you have many ANY symptoms before your BFP?

Congrats Leafy - I'm so happy to hear your news.
Jase - it does sound like it could be implantaion spotting! ooohhh... it's looking very good for you. How's the 2WW treating you?
Intrigue - I'm not able to answer your questions because this is my first cycle but I wouldn't be overly worried about having no symptoms. Some women get to the point where they go into labour and haven't had any symptoms!!! Fingers crossed for your HPT tomorrow and your BT on Monday.
AFM - I seem to be going OK with the 2WW. The hormone tablets and crinone don't seem to be causing me many symptoms, except some mild cramping here and there. My breasts aren't tender either, and because they're huge normally (DD) it's hard to tell if they are getting any bigger. The baby should be implanting around today so in the next few days I should start getting some HCG through my system. With my previous pregnancies I had early symptoms and knew I was pregnant before my period was due each time, but I have to try not to worry myself if I don't feel symptoms this time. After all I was 25 when I had my last child and I'm 37 now... my body would have changed hormonally since then.
I hope everyone else is going well and baby dust to all...

Leafy - congratulations on your BFP! Wonderful news - enjoy!
Intrigue - I didn't have much in the way of symptoms. A few little twinges in the stomach (wouldn't call them cramps) and some bloating in the afternoon a few days before BT. A couple of days before my BT I said to my husband that I wasn't feeling too confident because I just felt way too normal. Early pregnancy symptoms are really subtle for a lot of people - there's a reason why some women go months without realizing they're pregnant. Good luck for your BT.
02-03-2012 12:46 #658
Leafy - Yay congratulations. How exciting!
AFM - BT results show BFN. So upset right now. Will write more later can't get my head straight right now.

Congrats leafy!!!
Hey Girls, hope you're all doing ok.
Had my EPU this morning and it all went really well. They got 13 eggs which were all mature, so we're happy that. Transfer will be wednesday at this stage. The nurses were all so lovely, they took really good care of me. I'm feeling pretty sore and groggy this arvo, so am chilling on the couch with dvds.
Will stop back for personals later.
So sorry little feet Hope you're ok.

WALL The Inside Story of Divided Berlin. By Peter Wyden. Illustrated. 762 pp. New York: Simon & Schuster. $27.50.
Ugly, anti-human, provocatively divisive, the Berlin wall has been the political symbol of the cold war. I use the past tense because the wall, evidently enough, is coming down. It may not be removed tomorrow, or even in the next few months, but it will surely disappear in a year or two, unless some unforeseen and disastrous reversal of the whole Gorbachev revolution supervenes.
Note that the wall is not coming down because the East German regime has seen the light of liberty. It is crumbling because the economic and philosophical system that underpinned it, the mortar that held the whole hateful edifice in place, has collapsed.
Peter Wyden's ''Wall'' is timely. Although it was written before the extraordinary events of recent months, when thousands of East Germans voted with their feet and fled to West Germany and Erich Honecker, the East German leader of 18 years, was ousted, the book sums up one of the crucial events, perhaps the touchstone, of the postwar era.
The Berlin wall, of course, was built in 1961 to keep the East Germans in. That dire need remains. But now, instead of using force and repression - which East Germans will no longer tolerate without a struggle - to hold the people in place, the East German Government itself must change. Whether it can become more responsive to its citizens' aspirations leads to the explosive question of a united Germany. The end of the wall, therefore, will likely raise a new problem.
This book recalls in fine detail how the wall came to be built. It went up suddenly and secretly, to the surprise of the Western allies. At this distance, the event can be viewed with some piquancy and, on occasion, wit. The most entertaining section of ''Wall'' describes how the West's muddled espionage failed to provide warning of the East German plan. It was like a John le Carre spy thriller, but played out as farce.
Mr. Wyden, an American who was born in Berlin, is the author of ''Day One: Before Hiroshima and After,'' ''Bay of Pigs: The Untold Story'' and other books. Accordingly, he has the journalist's virtue of having dug into the records and talked to many of those involved. His style is fast-paced, his analysis only skin-deep, but the depth of his affection for Berlin is never in doubt.
And what a dreadful, mock-heroic epic the story of the Berlin wall is: mock because of the inadequacies of the West; heroic because the building of the wall, it turned out, risked nuclear war. ''The Berlin crisis of 1961,'' the author writes, ''would never be recognized as a time of acute nuclear danger. Yet it was. It was the first time that a major power openly threatened another with nuclear annihilation'' - when the Soviet leader Nikita S. Khrushchev bluffed President John F. Kennedy at the Vienna summit. ''I've got a terrible problem,'' Kennedy told the journalist James Reston. ''If [ Khrushchev ] thinks I'm inexperienced and have no guts, until we remove those ideas we won't get anywhere with him. So we have to act.'' Mr. Wyden concludes: ''The President now calculated there was one chance in five that Berlin would lead to nuclear war. But who could be sure? Perhaps the risk was greater?''
The cynical view of the East Berliners and the calculation of the Soviet side was that the West would not take serious action against the wall. They were right. (Secretary of State Dean Rusk, went one joke of the day, ''is a recorded announcement.'') ''You must do something!'' Willy Brandt, the Mayor of West Berlin, exclaimed to the American, British and French generals who governed the city. It took many months and the 1962 Cuban missile crisis before that something happened - Kennedy's inspired declaration, in June 1963, to the city and to the world: ''Ich bin ein Berliner.'' It became the most famous phrase of the cold war.
The first half of this big book makes racy reading. The second, containing a lot of factitious material about what happened later, somewhat diminishes what would otherwise have been a much sharper and more salutary jab at our forgetfulness about recent history. But the many moving moments and the tributes to individual courage recorded by Mr. Wyden serve as reminders that the Berlin wall was not about bricks and barbed wire in defense of Marxism, but about people. THE UGLIEST LANDMARK
Before Peter Wyden fled Berlin in 1937, his childhood was scarred by anti-Semitism. In school, he said, his teacher would ''lecture that Jews were the direct descendants of the Devil. And I was the only Jewish kid in the class. Everyone would turn around and look at me to see if my horns were showing.''
He returned to Europe in 1945 with the United States Army, and he stayed on in Berlin for a year working for a military newspaper. It was a historical moment, he said in a telephone interview from his home in Connecticut, a time Germans now call the ''Zero Hour,'' the start of the modern era.
In 1965, Mr. Wyden again journeyed to Berlin, this time with his sons. He realized that the most vivid memory they would have of their father's birthplace was the Berlin wall, and the idea for a book about his native city and its ugliest landmark took root. He said that one revelation in ''Wall'' pleases him more than any other. After two years trying to discover how the East Germans managed to keep their plans for the wall secret, Mr. Wyden found a man who had been forgotten by history - the executive assistant at the time the wall was built to the recently ousted East German leader, Erich Honecker. Mr. Wyden said he rushed to the East to meet the man, and much of what he learned had never before been committed to paper: ''If you were to read these paragraphs to C.I.A. people who were in Berlin at the time, I can guarantee what their reaction would be. They would be quite, quite interested.'' J. R. MOEHRINGER
The Berlin Wal in 1976. German inscription reads ''Vote SED'' (Socialist Unity Party, the official party of East Germany) (Thomas Hoepker) (pg. 7); Peter Wyden (Elaine Seaton) (pg. 9)

Research and consulting firm J.D. Power and Associates estimated that total light-vehicle sales will exceed 1.2 million units in March 2011, up 9 percent from March 2010. New-vehicle retail sales alone account for an estimated 991,900 units.
This represents a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 10.9 million units, an increase by 15 percent from the same period the year before. U.S. auto sales in March 2011 still outpace 2010's levels despite rising gas prices and inventory uncertainty after the recent Japan earthquake. In all, J.D. Power upped its 2011 first quarter forecast to 10.7 million units from a previously forecasted 10.6 million.
J.D. Power, due to the strength in retail sales, also increased its 2011 retail sales forecast to 10.6 million units, up from 10.5 million. Its estimate for total vehicle sales remains at 13 million units, about 13 percent higher compared to 2010.
In an interview with Automotive News, J.D. Power's executive director of global forecasting Jeff Schuster, said that March is getting a sales boost because anticipation of inventory shortages is causing buyers to make their purchase decisions earlier.
These customers are going to the dealerships while there still is inventory on the models that may be in short supply. Some of the popular imports that have been affected by the crisis in Japan are the Nissan Rogue, the Honda Fit and the Toyota Prius.
Also, General Motors Co. has suspended production of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon small pickups at its Shreveport, La., assembly plant due to parts shortages from Japanese suppliers.

A Texas police officer was arrested last week after allegedly shooting a woman in the head — while off-duty — in a fit of road rage.
Kenneth Caplan, a 34-year-old reserve deputy constable with Harris County Precinct 6, was arrested on Nov. 26 and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. According to KHOU, Caplan fired at another driver on Nov. 11 after she cut him off on the 610 Loop in Houston (retaliation, she said, for him cutting her off moments before).
The victim told KHOU, "All of a sudden I'm driving, and this guy cuts me off. He was about to hit me. I switched to the other lane, I got in front of him and I cut him off. I guess that pissed him off. He went like that and he just fired at me. And then all of sudden I heard a ring in my ear." She said she spent three days in the hospital and received eight staples in her head.

Great service, shop assistant helped with bike with sizing, picking accessories etc. Told us when bike would be ready. We received an email and call. Collected the bike and went home, my son broke the mud guard off it by accident went back to shop and the assistant help with what we required I found the staff very polite and very helpful. Would strongly recommend this shop. My son is delighted with his bike and so far it's been value for money. He has also applied to one of the workshops for bike maintenance so hopefully this service will be as good as the service when buying a bike.

"Friendly and helpful staff in endocrine outpatient..."
About: Royal Free Hospital Royal Free Hospital London NW3 2QG
Posted via NHS Choices
I had an appointment in the endocrine outpatient clinic yesterday (held in the kidney and urology department on the third floor) where my blood pressure and weight was checked by a superb health care. He introduced himself to every patient, made a point of trying to pronounce their name correctly (which is a challenge!) and talked me through the procedure with such good cheer that it put me in a good mood. Later I was helped by a nurse while waiting to see the surgeon. She went out of her way to follow up what happened with my file as they were squeezing me in that afternoon. The doctor was kind enough to see me at short notice for which I am very grateful. We complain when things go wrong so it is important to say something positive when things go well! Thank you.
