Georgia State Case Resources
Want to find out more about this case? Visit the ICPL Georgia State Case Resources page for links to helpful articles and blogs related to the Georgia State copyright case (Cambridge University Press et al. v. Patton et al.). This lawsuit brought by several publishers against Georgia State University involves the use of copyrighted materials in e-reserves in higher education, but the impact of the case and its potential results may be far more reaching.
Copyright law, especially Fair Use can be a complicated and confusing issue to navigate. The following resources have been collected to help librarians and other interested parties determine when fair use of copyrighted materials is allowed.
Recent Legal Decisions Concerning Fair Use;
- Unbeaten Streak, Inside Higher Education, June 2014 - HathiTrust, a digital library consortium, won a case that grants them the legal right to digitize copyrighted works for accessibility purposes.
Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Academic and Research Libraries, ARL and American University. January 2012. This is a code of best practices in fair use devised specifically by and for the academic and research library community. It enhances the ability of librarians to rely on fair use by documenting the considered views of the library community about best practices in fair use, drawn from the actual practices and experience of the library community itself.
The following resources were collected by the Center for Social Media at American University.
- Best Practices in Fair Use of Dance-related Materials
- The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education

Re: What hand tools can't you live without?
Another 'tool' for the box loadout might be a couple of lists. You are building this for the purpose of teaching and demonstrations. I'd guess that you will do some sort of practice for the course or demo session, or at least a walk-through. Go through your lesson plan and set the tools you use out on a cleared bench as you get through using them. If you are doing a tour with several different events scheduled before returning to the shop work off of the pile of benched tools adding those you don't have out already as needed. That should give you your minimum load.
A photo or check list of tools for a given course or demonstration could minimize both the load as well the 'rats, forgot it on the bench' items.
Presumably the traveling box is not a separate tool collection but is loaded from the shop collection when you head out. Although it would be a fine 'reason' (excuse?) to add more to the collection. :)
I rather like the idea of the campaign chest approach too. A collapsible gurney might not be a bad idea either. Remember to bring your back home in one piece, as well the box and tools in good shape, eh?

Many of the oxygen level monitors and analyzers available in today's market are actually designed to monitor multiple gases. At AMI, we realize that oxygen-specific monitors are more effective, more efficient, and easier to use. All of our resources are committed to oxygen analysis. This has given us an expert understanding of the process that you will not find elsewhere, and it has allowed us to develop instruments that provide you with the most accurate oxygen level readings available.
When you use monitors that are designed to fit all of your gas analysis needs, you can end up with less-than-accurate measurements because sensors and other materials are not always built to exact tolerances. You are often faced with a lengthy calibration process involving support gases. Our oxygen level monitors allow you to avoid both of those situations. They are also more stable than other monitors, so their sensors are not susceptible to the temperature shifts that often cause false alarms in other monitors.
You can find monitors in our inventory for almost every application in every industrial market. However, we also have the ability to create OEM equipment for our volume customers. We can create instruments that supply you with all of the features and accessories you require.
Our extensive line of oxygen level monitors and sensors employ a variety of technologies. You can find microprocessor-based electronics, analog-based systems, and instruments that utilize patented fast respond micro fuel cell block innovations. Contact us at 714-848-5533 if you have any questions about our products and services, or receive an online quote at amio2.com.

By 1998, he was eyeing a run for his party's leadership. But Hardy had other plans. A week before the state senator had to file his petitions before reelection, he told his son that he didn't want to do it anymore.
"Should I circulate my own petitions?" Tony asked him.
"What else do you think I'm saying?" Hardy replied.
Williams won his father's seat unopposed.
IN PERSON, WILLIAMS is standoffish at first, almost like he's trying to figure out what you want from him and how much of himself he should reveal. But eventually his guard comes down, and the gregarious, sarcastic, loud, unselfconsciously honest, immensely likeable personality comes to the fore. His speeches follow a similar trajectory: a matter-of-factness that becomes an emotive rising action, then gives way to a thundering crescendo in which his stout baritone reverberates off the walls; his voice takes on the cadence of a Southern black preacher's, then backs down—a denouement of a knowing chuckle, alit eyes and a broad smile.
This is the Real Tony, if you will, stripped of his inhibitions, comfortable in his own skin, saying whatever's on his mind.
Sometimes, these detours into grandiosity take a turn for the absurd. Take, for instance, his concession speech the night he lost the Democratic gubernatorial primary: Before a mostly black audience at Temple, Williams declared that his campaign had sparked "a new civil-rights movement.… For the first time in the state of Pennsylvania, they heard your voice. We all won here tonight. This is the first time someone has run for governor who's talked about the importance of life—your life. In three months, we've done more about the agenda related to this auditorium, to rural Pennsylvania, to urban Pennsylvania, to where the poor people are, working people are, true Democrats are, than anybody in this race."
It was an ostentatious statement for someone who'd taken 18 percent of the vote—Onorato won with 45 percent—and foundered outside his hometown. But Williams isn't one to exude humility, especially on a public stage. This is when his mouth outpaces his brain and his populism seems a little too contrived, undercutting Tony's cultivated image as a Big Thinker.
Other times, however, the Real Tony's authenticity and conviction can steal the show. Speaking at an education forum for the Philadelphia Anti-Defamation League in mid-March, Tony was subdued at first, but it wasn't long before his arms gestured wildly and his voice boomed: "I'm going to talk not as I like things to be, but as they are." Despite increased funding during the Rendell years—for which, incidentally, he took credit: "Seventeen thousand [dollars] per child! I did that! I did that!"—there are schools still plagued by violence, where kids are warehoused rather than taught. Parents who can't afford to move or send their kids to private schools are stuck.

A stranger's story
I'm Bleak and I'm 14 years old. Yeah, my name could've been better- but you don't get to pick your name, or your parents for that matter. But hey, look on the bright side, it could have been worse. I could have been named Adolf or Eugene-or I could have even been named with a female name. I had this stupid end of the year assignment due for my English teacher-it was supposed to be about something or someone who inspires you- and I had no idea how I was supposed to do it considering that I was in some redneck stranger's old, clunky, rusty pickup truck. Also, there was another problem, my current pen that I had was running out of ink, and it was not likely that I was going to find a pen anywhere else around here. Okay, now, you bookworms are probably wondering where the heck I'm going with this story. I know you are all sitting there thinking "well that was a terrible beginning, what do we want to hear about some stranger's old truck and an English assignment for?" Well, my good readers, this gets better as it goes on… so let's start from how I got into this stranger's truck and go from there!
I had just gotten kicked
out of my home about two days prior because I had turned my
religious beliefs around for the worst. My whole entire family
is crazy religious with every ounce of their soul. They are all
Christians through and through and believe in that whole "God
died for our sins on the cross then rose again from the dead"
nonsense. I had finally decided to tell my mother that I wasn't
and never would be a Christian and that I did not believe in that
whole holy bible and God thing. Before I knew it, I was thrown
out on my own with only the necessary things that were a
must-have to survive. (What Christian throws their own son out for not
believing in God?-not a true Christian, that's who!)
I had gotten no sleep
whatsoever within those two days of being out on my own and I was
dragging my exhausted self along the side of the road with my
little bag of necessities swung over my shoulder just trying to
find myself a little place to rest my eyes. All of a sudden,
this older guy (maybe in his early 50's) pulled up next to me in
a big, old, clunker-junker truck and rolled down his dirty
window. Screech.
"Howdy there son, you're
sure lookin' rough." He said to me, while observing the baggy,
scrungy clothes I had on.
I didn't reply, I just stood there looking up at him and was
thinking "what the heck is this stranger beside me for?"
"You run away from home, boy?" He asked, after noticing the small
bag that was swung over my shoulder.
"Yep, kind of." I whispered, sounding like a fool.
"Well, you need a lift? I could sure use some company." He asked,
with an inviting smile.
"Sure, thanks." I said, confused but desperately needing a ride
"Well then, climb on up in here then, what you waitin' for?!" He
said, gesturing towards the passenger side of his truck.
I pulled myself up
into his lifted Chevy pickup truck and slumped myself down onto
the passenger seat. I wasn't even worrying about the dangers of
being with a stranger (as bad as the sounds, it was better than
walking the streets alone.) With my eyes drooping with tiredness
I tossed over onto my side and fell fast asleep. I was awakened
to the old man's wrinkly hands shaking me and saying "wake up,
boy." over and over again. I quietly groaned and cracked my eyes
open the slightest bit and looked up into his sky blue eyes. That
was the first time that I had noticed how bright and happy his
eyes had looked. They were like looking deep into the calming
ocean, or, looking up at the big blue sky. Looking into his eyes
made me feel secure, just like my mother's used to. I'm not sure
how a stranger's eyes had made me feel safe, but they did. It
was if his eyes were telling me a story. The old man finally
interrupted me after a couple minutes.
"I've stopped at McDonalds
for a pee break. You needa go to the bathroom? We have a long
way yet to go." He said, pointing towards the fast food
"Nope, I'm good. Where are we heading too?" I asked.
"I was fixin' to take you back to my house, I have a spare house
in the back of my yard that is not being used. You could crash
there for a while if you'd like." He said, with a genuine smile.
"Oh. Thank you so much, sir! That'd be more than wonderful!" I
squealed, with joy.
"You are quite welcome, boy." He said.
I looked up into his eyes once again.
"Hey now, what are you staring at me like that for?" He said,
chuckling the slightest.
"Uhhh… nothing, no reason." I told him, then turned around to
hide my embarrassment.
"You can tell me, youngling'. I have a great set of listening
ears." He said, leaning in closer.
"Well, actually, I was just looking into your eyes. Your eyes
are really bright, sir." I said, looking quite embarrassed.
"Why thank ya, I get told that a lot. Would you believe it if I told you that my eyes were droopy, sad, and lifeless looking before, too? It was at a bad time in my life when I was lost and didn't know who I was or what my purpose was in life." He told me, reflecting back on the past.
"Oh. I'm so sorry. Well,
they look so much better now. What happened, may I ask? You don't
have to talk about it if you don't want to or if it's
uncomfortable for you." I asked him, interested in what his
story might be.
"I'd be more then glad to share it with you, boy. Can I ask you a
question, though, first?" He asked, turning towards me, and
looking me straight in the eyes.
'Ummm, sure. What can it hurt? Shoot away." I told him, with a
wondering kind-of look on my face.
Then came the question that I was dreading and never wanted to be
asked again.
"Are you a Christian?" He asked.
I said nothing.
"Maybe I should rephrase that. Do you believe in God?" He
asked, trying again.
I shifted in my seat
uncomfortably. I had no idea if I should lie and tell him that I
did believe or if I should just tell him the truth and tell him
that I did not believe. I figured the easiest way out of this
would be to lie, but lying never gets you anywhere in life. I
really did want to hear his story, though, so I made up my mind
on what to answer him with. I turned back towards him slowly and
found that my hands were trembling with nervousness.
"I think I should tell you
the truth. And the truth is that, I-I don't really… ummm, believe
in…. you know… God." I said, embarrassed and nervously.
"Well, that's a shame, boy. You cannot see the air that you
breathe, but yet it's still there-and the same thing goes with
God, he exists even though you cannot see him. He died on the
cross for your sins then rose again. I sure do have a story to
tell you, then!" He said, happily, eager to start his story.
"Okay, I can't wait to hear it! So, fill me in on every detail
and make sure to not leave one single thing out!" I said,
smiling, and anxiously waiting for him to start his
The old man stretched
out in the driver's seat and shut the car off. He took a deep
breath and turned to look out the window. He gazed out the
window and looked at the breathtaking and beautiful scene in
front of him. The sky was a bright, sky blue-just like his eyes.
The grass was obviously freshly cut and a gorgeous shade of
green. The clouds were all different shapes and sizes, one cloud
in particular looked like a lion's head. It was a beautiful day
out and the sun was shining bright down on the truck. He finally
tuned back around to me and took another big breather.
"Alright youngin', here it
goes." He said, before starting.
I sat there, wiggling about in my seat, getting a little
"Well, son, you see, I was homeless once like you before too,
when I was about 16 years old. But I did not get kicked out of
my house-I ran away from my home because my father was abusive
towards me, physically and mentally. One night I seen a crumbled
up letter sitting on his work desk-so I decided to snoop and read
it. I un-crumbled it, and what was written on it, terrified me."
He said, looking sad at the memory of this.
"What did the letter say?! What did the letter say?! What did the
letter say?!" I repeated over and over again, anxious to find out
what the letter read.
"The letter read: Mom, I'm sorry… but I can't do this
anymore. I can't deal with dad. I know you don't believe a word
I say when I tell you that he abuses me, but it's true, every
single word and detail of it. He hits me, smacks me, locks me in
closets for hours and even days without food and water while
you're away on business trips, he pushes me up against the porch
wall and threatens to strangle me, and a whole lot more. He
tells me that I'm worthless, a mistake to this world, his biggest
disappointment, a lowlife scum, a stupid idiot, and an ugly rat.
He's hurting me, mom, and I can't take it anymore. I don't
deserve to be treated this way, I never did anything to him. So,
I'm going to go somewhere where I won't get treated badly
anymore. I'll see you up in heaven, mom. I love you, and, please
know that this is not your fault. Don't cry or be sad over me,
just please get yourself away from dad before he does something
to you as well. YOU deserve better than that, sooooo much better.
See you soon, mommy." He told me, with a tear forming in the
corner of his eye.
I just sat there, with a completely shocked look on my face.
He continued on, "He wrote me a suicide letter and was planning
on murdering me that night and then he was going to blame my
death on that letter he had written for me. As soon as I seen
that terrible letter, I packed a very small bag, ran into my
mother's bedroom and kissed her on the forehead and whispered
"goodbye", then headed out of the door as fast as I could. I was
praying to God that my father would not come home early from work
catch me leaving for he would surely come after me, violently. I
was scared beyond imaginable. My palms were sweaty, and, I was
trembling and shaking tremendously with fear. My head was
spinning a thousand miles a minute. I ran for my life as fast as
my feet could carry me, and my heart was racing a billion beats
per second. I felt like I was going to faint from how terrified
I was, but I had to keep on going… I HAD to get away, no question
about that. I couldn't look back or regret leaving my mother
because I had to protect myself and think about my safety first."
He said again, the tear now running down his cheek.
Continuing on he says, "Well to get closer to the climax I found
my way under a bridge. I laid low for a few days to make sure my
dad or anybody wouldn't fine me. I prayed hard those days that I
stayed under the bridge, and several different prayers at that.
You see, I was never a Christian… but I didn't have anybody else
to turn to except God. I remember this one prayer in particular,
though. This is how the prayer went:
God, I know you're up there somewhere. I know I haven't been
the nicest in my years and I know I haven't believed in you,
either. But I really need your help, Lord Jesus. I don't
believe in you still, and if you're really there I really need
you to prove it to me somehow. But, if you actually are real and
are not a fairy tale like I think you are, then, thank you so
much for keeping me safe and letting me wake up to a new day each
and every morning. I have nobody else to turn to, but you, so I
am asking for your help. I have nowhere to go, no food left, and
I really don't want to drink any of this dirty lake water… so
could you please help me out, somehow? I'm begging of you. And
please please give me a sign that you're there and can hear me.
If you don't answer my prayer, I'll know you're fake for
sure." He told me, getting lost in his deep past memories.
I was just sitting there, with my jaw dropped, and was so
surprised at how his story was going so far. I was utterly
"Please, continue on." I told him, barely getting the words
"Well let's speed things up a little… after I said that prayer
things started happening. Weird, and good things. I had a dream
that night, and let's just get to the point of what happened in
it-well, I was falling down a big black hole that seemed like it
went on forever and I knew that I was falling to hell. I did not
want to burn eternally in fire with the devil, so, I was
screaming out for God and asking him to help me and to save me
from the devil. All of a sudden before I knew it an angel flew
down and grabbed onto me and started flying me up out of the hole
to heaven-and then I woke up. That dream alone made me see
things different, and I knew that I needed to change my ways
around and trust and believe in our Lord. Some other things that
were happening was that I also seen his face form in the water by
the bridge that I was sleeping at, and, it was clearly his
face-there was no denying or depicting it for something else. I
couldn't believe what I seen, it was the most beautiful thing
ever! I then knew that the dream and seeing his face in the lake
was God answering my prayers and letting me know that he was
there and that he did listen to me. Next, a few weeks later, I
prayed again and asked for forgiveness of my sins and asked him
to come into my heart and into my life-I then felt like a whole
new person, like, I was… different, changed even. About a month
later, I was still homeless and with no money… but I felt like
the richest person ever having God in my life. He was helping me
and keeping me safe." He said, now smiling from ear to ear.
"I also prayed to God and asked him if he could help me find a
job somewhere, then 2 days after praying that prayer I got hired
at the local gas station-even though you need to have ID and an
address and a telephone number to work there, they made me an
exception because I told them that I needed money to buy a house
of my own, and that was God's doing-he found me a job… it was a
miracle! Praise God! 4 months later after working at the gas
station I finally earned enough money to buy myself a small, 2
bedroom trailer. I honestly have to admit that it wasn't the
fanciest, but it was a roof over my head and a bed for me to
sleep in which I had longed for what seemed like forever.
Sleeping in a bed rather than under a bridge on dirt and hard
rocks is a million jillion billion to infinity and beyond times
better. So, to sum it all up, what happened was this-the lord
answered the prayers of a 16 year old homeless teenager and got
his life back on track. See, God IS real and he DOES exist and
he DOES answer prayers. You just need to pray, believe in him,
ask for forgiveness of your sins, and ask for him to come into
your heart and into your life. This is coming from a previous
non-believer. I am now a believer and live my life for Christ-my
reason for being on earth is to serve Jesus and tell people about
him. I have had a rough life just like you-so you need to accept
God into your heart and straighten your life out, boy. I believe
in you and he does too." He told me, with a big, caring smile.
So, that, my good readers,
is how I came up with my end of the year essay topic. I'm 17
years old now. That old man, who, by the way, I'm still living in
the backyard of, inspired me tremendously. That old man's real
name is Simon, and he is the nicest and most loving person you'll
ever meet. He adopted me a year later, and I'm proud to call him
my father, I love him dearly. We go to church every Sunday-we
make sure to not miss a single church session! I'm a Christian
now, and I'm so incredibly and unbelievably happy that I turned
my life around for the better and took Jesus into my heart
because my life could never be better. The only downfall now, is
that I don't see my mom at all. But, I couldn't ask for any more
than I have now. My life is perfect to a tee. Oh, and, by the
way, I wrote my essay and perfected it (oh, and I did find a pen,
once we got back to Simon's house), but I never got to turn it in
because Simon's house is in Philadelphia and my old school was
way in Mount Pleasant. I want to give a big thank you to Simon,
for sharing his story to me because it was just what I needed to
pull my life together. I now know my purpose in life, and, it is
to serve my lord Jesus Christ. This story got better, right?
See, I told you lovley readers that it would... I, Bleak,
wouldn't let you down!
Side note: I just wanted to add that this is rather a more religious type of story. I know that it is not the type of thing that I usually write about, but I was feeling like writing this type of story so I just went ahead and did it. This is my first shot at this type of story, so feel free to tell me how horrible it is LOL! Now, I know that some of you are not religious or believe, so please don't give me any hate for writing this... i'm sorry to those of you who do get offended or whatever by this. Thanks for reading though, lovleys... it means the world to me!
ALSO, Yes I know the "religious" mother throwing her son out of the house for him not beliving in God is NOT something that a Christian mother would do! I just did that to show that the devil can be deciving even though your own mother.

I think my (now) MIL actually bought this one for me! It's long discontinued, like the rest of Cover Girl's NailSlicks line, but it can probably still be found on eBay or in dollar stores. Midnight Metal is a shimmery gunmetal grey -- seems pretty basic but I haven't seen a proper dupe yet. This is a true grey: no bluish, greenish or reddish tones. I never found Cover Girl NailSlicks to be very good quality, but this one actually still applies quite well. Maybe I got a good bottle, or this colour was just one of the winners from the NailSlicks line. Definitely pick this up if you ever stumble across it for a good price!

The article clearly indicates that in this part of Mindanao veterinarians are scarce. It is also a question whether or not those poor farmers would even be able to afford a Filipino vet's services/prescriptions.
The American presence in the Philippines is almost entirely beneficial. They are bringing aid and stability to the area which is unfortunately needed, as well as training a portion of the Philippine Armed Forces to a higher level. I share your concerns about corruption and bad ethics in the Philippine military, and I don't imagine the Americans are specifically training their Filipino counterparts to be less corrupt and to avoid extra-Constitutional 'justice'. Yet when the Americans did have bases in the Philippines, the country was not effectively robbed of territory (Mischief Reef) and had a steady source of foreign investment and currency. Filipinos' decision to give the Americans the boot and not renew the base leases was one of the most foolish things any Philippine government has done. Even Japan has to be very levelheaded if it is considering terminating all American base agreements in Okinawa or their whole country.
Likewise, it is embarrassing that the Philippines cannot take care of itself and is reliant on aid. Any sovereign, independent state should not be dependent on the political-interest-motivated 'compassion' of any other state. Yet rising powers like China, India, and Brazil still receive aid, and newly developed countries like South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Israel received (or still receive) aid to help them develop and keep their countries secure. If this is an issue for Filipinos, then they have to swallow their pride and work that much harder so that they no longer have to rely on foreign aid. If those ascendant powers and NICs had to receive foreign aid in order to progress, then it is acceptable for the Philippines to do so as well. Who knows? Maybe the Philippines will develop one day due to using aid wisely.
And taking Philippine culture into account: accepting foreign aid does not mean the Philippines must be forever in debt to and have eternal gratitude toward those countries which provide that aid.
The Visiting Forces Agreement has absolutely no impact on supposed American control over the Philippines' natural resources. Most foreign influence in the Philippines' mining industry in Mindanao is from Australian and Chinese mining companies - and the Australian ones are privately owned. The Philippines needs more foreign investment, not less. The country could capitalize better on its nonrenewable natural resources, and try to get the most out of them (i.e. try to squeeze as many jobs and as much money out of each ton of ore as possible). As for the Philippines' strategic location in Southeast Asia, militarily it may be more strategically located than Singapore - which is, for all intents and purposes, its successor as home to American military bases in the region - but Southeast Asia seems to be more peaceful these days (in terms of potential world-altering international conflicts, Muslim and other domestic insurgencies aside), and Northeast Asia, with crazy North Korea, seems to get more attention, so the Philippines is not as strategic as Japan might be, for instance. In your favor, China's main naval facility is located in Hainan in the South China Sea and the Philippines is the closest American ally to the island. Part of China's absurd claims to Philippine territory is due to the fact that American naval vessels can keep an eye on Chinese naval movements and an eye on neighboring Taiwan from Philippine waters.
I understand that you were just being a troll, but Americans and other Westerners eat plenty of bulls, too. That's where most beef comes from; cows produce milk and a single bull can sire many calves, so there are a surplus of bulls to turn into meat and leather. I honestly don't know about dog eating in the Philippines, but Westerners eat pigs (a Southeast Asian domesticate, incidentally), which are more intelligent than dogs. Japanese and Icelanders eat whales, which are far more intelligent than dogs and have long life and generation spans. I can guarantee that the Philippines has many neighbors where dog *is* served as food, so I hardly see your rationale for singling out the Philippines for this 'abomination' when it might not even be true for this particular country.
The reason why the AFP, which is a major pillar of the ruling class in the country, regards the NPAs as the major adversary is because the majority of the people are so poor and the justice system so imbalanced that many Filipinos look to them as a deliverer.
Whether they are, as they have resorted to banditry and execution of their own suspected members, is a debatable item.
But as long as our elite wallow like pigs, ostentatiously consuming, while perhaps half of the population suffer from endemic hunger, peasant and popular revolts, which have been in our history for the past 200 years, will continue.
Do we need a French revolution?
a front-line veterinarian and, at the same time, a front-line warior, is doing more than his share of his unit's mission. While his primary duty is to kill the enemy, he's also taking care of the welfare and well-being of work animals. in short, he preserves one type of life form and detroys another. it's a battlefield irony, but the front-line vet has to do what he has got to do. when all things are said and done, this vet deserves the title of vet's vet and with all the honor and glory of a real hero.
If I was a Filipino vet, I wouldn't want to practice in an area where I could lose my head for doing my job!
Chirangu, as a farm grown westerner I have rarely eaten a bull, never on purpose. My meat comes from castrated animals known as "steers". All it takes is a small medical procedure (castration) and the value of the animal doubles. Most farmers do it themselves, I don't know if all countries have the same practice. Do philippino farmers? Done poorly and the animal can get infections and possibly die (very rare in NA).
Aren't there Filipino veterinarians in the Philippines?
If there are less than 400 supposed Abu Sayyaf militants in Mindanao, why are there over 600 U.S. troops in the Philippines since 2002? According to the Philippine Constitution that amended the 1947 RP-US Military Bases Agreement,there should be no US military bases on Philippine soil after September 16, 1991. There is a Visiting Forces Agreement between the U.S. and the Philippines that allows U.S. troops to take part in military exercises and humanitarian missions but they're not supposed to be there permanently. Their stay since 2002 is unconstitutional.
Are the U.S. troops necessary to build schools or medical missions, can't Filipinos take care of themselves and build their own schools.
The Department of State and Defense has given $149 million USD to the Philippines for military aid. That's a lot of money that could be going to the social welfare of the United States, but instead is going towards the worsening human rights crisis with over 2,000 farmers, trade unionists, human right advocates, teachers, and community organizers---killed and hundreds who have been abducted since 2001, according to human rights group Karapatan. These extrajudicial killings have been linked directly to the Philippine military, which is being funded by the United States.
Since 1898, when U.S. first declared their control over the Philippines after the Spanish-American War- it's obvious that the U.S. has an investment in the Philippines and wants to keep their control of the natural resources and strategic geopolitical location in Southeast Asia.
For chirangu, - I did not have any a-priori view of "it" being "abominable", and I heard Philippinos do eat swine too.
Nonetheless, I agree with your views. Foreign aid can only become tyrannical (as alleged by others) if the Philippines allows it. But otherwise, foreign investments are the spark-plugs to drive economic growth at a far-accelerated pace. Just look at its neighbor Vietnam, most investment banks think of it as capable of outrunning the Philippines by 2020 - a sad fact.
Besides, in the long-run, foreign aid can never make a country economically sustainable. Only a strong domestic market can, which by default, is a sole Philippino responsibility. I heard Japan got foreign aid after WWII and look at it now.

The three budgets that make up the total New Hartford budget have now been approved by their respective Boards. The Board of Finance will be holding a budget workshop this coming Saturday, March 17, at which the three Boards – the Board of Selectmen and the two Boards of Ed (one from Regional # 7 and one from the local elementary schools) – will present their budgets. Before the Saturday workshop, we will post copies of the three approved budgets and videos of the Boards' discussions related to their approval of their budgets. The first Board-approved budget we are posting is that of the New Hartford Public Schools (elementary schools).
New Hartford Public Schools Board of Ed-Approved Budget, March 6, 2012
The budget approved by the local schools' Board of Ed at their March 6 meeting shows a 2.91% increase in the proposed budget for the 2012-2013 fiscal year over the current year's budget. The number of students projected for the 2012-2013 fiscal year will be 569 students, 12 less than in the current school year.

Video Of New Hartford Public Schools Board of Ed Meeting, Tuesday, March 6, 2012
The New Hartford Public Schools Board of Ed discussed their proposed budget for the 2012-2013 fiscal year at their March 6 meeting. At that meeting they approved the proposed budget to present to the Board of Finance at the Budget Workshop this coming Saturday, March 17.
Following is the video of the local schools' Board members' discussion:
Local Elementary Schools Board Of Ed Members Discuss, Approve Budget At March 6 Meeting
The local elementary schools Board of Ed members reviewed their draft budget from their February 28 meeting (see our article Local Schools' Draft Budget Discussed At February 28 Meeting) and at the end of their discussion they made one cut to their draft budger, that of decreasing the Technology line item by $15,000, from $150,170 down to $135,987. This brought the percentage increase for that line item down from 57.4% down to 42.5%. Several Board members, including Steve Tuxbury, Katie Fisk Natale and Melissa Giaconia expressed their discomfort with the amount of the increase in that line item. Steve in particular said that consolidation had gotten away from them this year (consolidating students from three schools down to two), otherwise they could have had the increase in technology and more. Bryan Keilty said they would be looking at consolidation next year. Katie Fisk Natale asked whether the technology figure in the draft budget included the $23,000 grant they would be receiving for that line item and she was told by Superintendent Philip O'Reilly that the grant was in addition to the figure in the budget. Katie then made the motion to cut the Technology line item by $15,000. The motion passed with some Board members voting against it. Having cut the money from Technology, the Board then agreed to give raises to non-union employees. This had the effect of bringing the 2.9% increase in the draft budget up to 2.91% in the budget approved by the Board of Ed members.
There was a brief discussion of the Capital Expenditures sheet (page 31 in the approved budget which may be downloaded above).
The local schools have included the replacement of the windows and doors at the Antolini School as their one Capital Expenditures item. The cost of the project is $526,572. Steve Tuxbury said that depending on how the town's surplus is and how the Board of Finance decides to go on reducing it, their project might well be fully funded in the budget for the upcoming year.
Despite reservations expressed by some Board members at the amount of increase their budget represented, the Board voted to approve it for presentation at the Board of Finance's Budget Workshop this coming Saturday, March 17.

Five- and six-carbon atom unsaturated acids have an important role, mostly in cheesy and fruity flavors. For example, trans-2-hexenoic acid (FEMA# 3169, CAS# 13419-69-7)—which occurs in apple, banana, grape, strawberry, beer, wine, pork and tea—has a cheesy,fatty, herbal, warm odor, and is applied to cheesy, berry and fruity flavorings.
This is only an excerpt of the full article that appeared in P&F Magazine, but you can purchase the full-text version.

I'm hoping for wild strawberry (Fragaria virginiana) to put under a few fig trees and/or partridge berry (Mitchella repens) to try to replace non-natives like periwrinkle (vinca minor).
Currently, there's a lot of crocus in the yard which I suspect that I should be able to ship after they've flowered (I'm new to this, so I'm not sure of how to prepare them for shipping, nor when is best for it). I know we have a few different geranium sp, but would prefer to wait until they are up to select any to ship. I'm certain that we will have many of a fairly short, white-flowered type as it seems to like to spread. Otherwise, check my trade list for indoor plants that I could easily send. |

I have been doing 3D graphics for awhile and this is my first venture into CAD. I have many DXF files created by Strata Design 3D and Poser and would love to import those files. I know I can't do this directly. Are there any plug ins or converters I could use? I am also surprised that fusion can export STL files but can not import them. How can I import a STL file?
Thanks for your feedback, we will consider it in future releases. Currently there is no tool for convertion.
Just to add another user for weight on the requet, STL has become a very popular format. It might not be very robust but several repositories use it for sharing designs. In fact, it's not worth picking up Inventor Fusion without that feature becasue I would need to use another tool for conversion and might as well use that one for the design work.
STL files are polygon/faceted models. You can use a polygon modeler on them but these are not solid modelers.
Fusion is a solid modeler. There are some tools to convert stl to solid but you fill find round features difficult to work with.
This is due to the fact that a facet modeler has to represent curved faces as flat triangle faces.
If you feel a polygon modeler is a better solution I can understand, but you will lose the power and precision of solids modeling that Fusion offers.

Who tells the story of a country? What story does a country's national literature tell about its people and its identity? Is there such a thing as Australian literature at all?
Australians are striding the global stage with unprecedented confidence in all manner of fields. But if university syllabuses are any indication, it seems that when it comes to Australian literature, the cultural cringe is alive and well.
With major universities offering only the bare minimum in courses on Australian writing and its authors, the Wheeler Centre is filling the breach. Australian Literature 101 is the university education in Australian literature you never had.
In this major new weekly series hosted by Ramona Koval, running in parallel with the university calendar, contemporary writers speak on seminal Australian texts, giving context, sharing their responses and exploring each work's status as a classic of Australian literature. Join us to be part of a brand new assessment of our national literature.
This week, we look at Helen Garner's Monkey Grip.
Ramona Koval is a writer, journalist and broadcaster. Her most recent book is By the Book: A Reader's Guide to Life, published by Text in November 2012. She presents The Monthly Book Podcast and blogs at ramonakoval.com.
She edited Best Australian Essays 2012, published by Black Inc. Books, and was the presenter of ABC Radio National's The Book Show.
Dr Kerryn Goldsworthy is a freelance writer and critic and former academic who lectured in literature at the University of Melbourne for 17 years.

J-Term Journal: Ode to My Roommates
On weekend afternoons in cafes over lattes or weeknights over drinks during the semester, I'd often put lecture notes aside to share my half-joke revelation about how to best savor time at Harvard: books, I declared, would always be here, but the electricity of connection between people around us is only now.
J-Term Journal: Munirka
Then the dust got so bad in the winter you had to do the floors every day, twice a day, grime thick on the table, my laptop, our books. I hardly left the boys' place. Woke with my mouth glued open and my nostrils dry, construction workers banging across the way. Deep in the night (and we all crashed at their apartment in a last study binge, kept jagged hours in the sore-throat tipsy-sunny early December, scrambling to get papers done) the watchmen knocked their staffs against the bone ground calling jaagte raho! jaagte raho!—stay awake!—striding in tandem like the ladies that power-walked together every day down the streets of my New Jersey housing development.
J-Term Journal: Dog Sledding
If someone had told twelve-year old me that I would someday voluntarily join a dog sledding trip in January in Maine, I would have put down my cold medicine next to my three inhalers and wheeze-laughed until I cried. If someone had told fifteen-year-old me that I would someday voluntarily wake at 6:30 a.m. to shovel dog shit, I would have rolled over in bed and asked for ten more minutes.

When I tell people I'm from Alaska, I get a variety of responses from "You must get a lot of snow!" to "Doesn't it get dark there all the time?" to "Do you have penguins?". I'm not kidding about these. I've heard them all, and more. Alaska has such a distinct character that most people feel they're well acquainted with the "Last Frontier." Unfortunately, this acquaintance often seems to stem from a regrettable combination of Sarah Palin and TLC.

J-Term: 5 Years Out
In March 2004, Harvard's Calendar Reform Committee released a report recommending that the Faculty of Arts and Sciences move exams to before winter break. Gone would be the days of returning to campus for final exams barely a day after the ball dropped for the new year. Instead, FAS would allow for 62 days of classes each semester, five to eight days of reading period, and eight days for exams. It was suggested the longer winter break this schedule opened up could potentially house its own mini-term.
The Cost Of Becoming A Real Woman

The place does not have the glamorous, intricate interior one might expect from a European café. Rather, it features a scuffed linoleum floor, photographs of meal combos hung along the walls, and metal-topped bars that stretch the length of the narrow eatery.

Even families have hierarchies—I mean look at the Kardashians. My family hierarchy has always been clearly defined. My mom was the boss with the wallet, my brother just bossed me around, and I was the bottom of the bucket: the chump of the family. Then we got a dog.

Panetta says US ready on Syria if required
The Secretary of Defense insisted, however, that diplomacy was the best option.
J. Scott Applewhite/AP
U.S. military leaders clearly expressed reluctance about using American might to stop the unending violence in Syria, insisting that diplomacy remains the best option to force President Bashar Assad to end the brutal crackdown on his own people.
Testifying before Congress, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, outlined the steps the United States and other countries are taking to pressure the Assad regime after 13 months of bloodshed that has left more than 9,000 dead, according to the United Nations, and displaced tens of thousands. The steps range from tough sanctions to shared intelligence to $25 million in emergency humanitarian assistance.
Dempsey said if called upon, the military would be ready to act and the services are working on ways to try to halt the violence. But both he and Panetta set a high threshold for U.S. military involvement in a war in the Middle East after lengthy conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

My pride you have shattered
From months and months of abuse
I use to try to fix things
But I have realized there is no use
I want you to remember
My love was always true
Now I am leaving
I will never forget about you
I wish for you the best
You know that's no lie
I love you so much kitten
Now it's time for me to fly
I never want to see you
Or talk to you again
I sure do miss you
And will until my end!

Stephen King on the dark side of fame
In 1988 -- I think it was '88 -- my older son asked if I'd take him to the Tyson-Spinks fight. You may remember it; this is the one that lasted roughly five punches and 38 seconds. When we got to the Trump venue where the fight was being held, a functionary whose job it was to collar ''celebs'' steered my son and me toward a room where, he said, we could relax, eat canapes, and meet others of our ilk. Other celebs, in other words.
I don't recall if the guy mentioned privacy as well as canapes, but if he did, the son of a gun lied. The room -- which my son remembers as being the size of a banquet hall -- was full of photographers and those soft-news people who are always more interested in who showed up than they are in what happened. Each time a new celeb made his or her entrance, the paparazzi would school like tuna toward a new feeding ground, yelling ''Oprah!'' or ''Jack!'' (The first thing celebs lose is their last names.) At some point -- around the time I was thinking I ought to get my son out of there, the atmosphere was that lynch-party feverish -- Sean Penn walked in, holding hands with Madonna.
The reporters and paparazzi went nuts. ''Sean!'' they shouted. ''Over here! Madonna! Hey, give us a smile, honey!'' The room seemed to shrink in that flashgun glare, a light that's both brilliant and somehow thin; it's the way you see things when you're suffering a high fever.
Madonna fed on it -- this, at least, is my son's memory. We are both in agreement, however, that Mr. Penn was caught flat-footed. Like me, maybe he had foolishly assumed that ''a place to relax and get away from the crowds'' meant a place of relative privacy.
They made one seemingly endless circuit of the room with the press in full pursuit, Mr. Penn tugging his sweetie by the hand. They passed close to my location, and I got a good look at the expression of horror on Penn's face. It was the face of a young man who's finally beginning to understand what he's gotten himself into.
This memory comes back to me whenever I hear that a soft-news press pool has hired an aircraft to get pictures of a ''celeb wedding,'' or when I see front-page tabloid photographs of some celeb who has either put on a lot of weight (indicating heartbreak) or lost a lot (indicating cancer, and necessitating use of the word brave, as in BRAVE [INSERT CELEB'S FIRST NAME] FACES CANCER WITH HELP OF EX-WIFE...AND GOD!). I think of Mr. Penn and his one stunned How-do-I-get-outta-here? circuit of the ''celeb room'' every time I read a bit of tattle about who bought what (and for how much; that's always important), then stiffed the waiter at lunch. I thought of him recently when I noted that at least one immensely popular magazine -- not this one, I'm happy to say -- had invented the one-word moniker Bennifer for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez...as if their romance summed up everything we'd ever care to know about them. Are they talented? Can they sing, dance, and act? Doesn't matter. When dealing with celebs, talent's a side issue.

Taiwanese manufacturer HTC released a short video today explaining the process used to create the One S' unique, durable body. For those who need a refresher, the One S is 1/3 of HTC's new 'One' line of phones, debuted at MWC this year. The One S is just below the One X, and just above the One V spec-wise, carrying a 4.3" Super AMOLED display, 8MP camera, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, and a super slender 7.95mm profile.
Google Body, the Google Earth-style anatomy app announced at February's Honeycomb event, has finally hit the market. After spending the month as a web app, owners of a shiny new Honeycomb tablet can glide through skin, muscle, bone, organs, veins and nerves with the swipe of a finger.
Note: Yesterday, Google published Google Body and then almost immediately pulled it for an unknown reason before we even got a chance to announce it.
As part of today's Honeycomb- and "Android ecosystem"-event, Google demoed Renderscript - a new 3D graphics library in Android. And part of their demo? A new application called Google Body, aka the "Google Maps of human anatomy."
It looks like it'll be a pretty cool way to explore the human body - just like Maps, you can strip away layers (i.e. skin, bones, etc.), rotate it in 3D, and search for body parts before having them highlighted in the app.

Baka Beyond & Baka Gbine By Matt Scheiner Published January 14, 2008 Baka LiveMarch Hare Music
Baka Beyond got started when Europeans Martin Cradick and Su Hart traveled to the Cameroonian rainforest to capture the music of the semi-nomadic Baka people—hunter-gatherers who worship a forest spirit and incorporate music into their daily lives. After the successful release of Spirit Of The Forest, which captured the beauty of Baka melodies, Baka Beyond was formed to meld Baka music with traditional and contemporary sounds from Africa and Europe. This live recording, from a 2006 UK tour, features seven Baka people performing for the first time outside the rainforest. Pre-recorded insect sounds enhance the performance and provide a feeling of being under the African canopy. Tribal cries celebrating life, the hunt and the spirit pervade the session as syncopated guitars provide an element of the tropics on "Kobo," "Rendezvous" and "Boulez Boulez." The recording offers an overwhelming spirituality that has the power to survive far beyond the forest.

Members of a Whitestone civic group are angered by the increase in graffiti activity in their area that also included the welcoming sign they donated to the community.
In 2010, Devon O'Connor started the Welcome to Whitestone Commercial and Residential Civic Association. One of the group's first projects was to raise $4,000 for a new "Welcome to Whitestone" sign for the community to replace the dilapidated one at the intersection of Francis Lewis Boulevard, the Cross Island Parkway and Locke Avenue.
The decorative wooden sign was erected in November 2011. O'Connor reported last Thursday that the sign was graffitied earlier in the week. Although members were able to remove the scrawlings, O'Connor is concerned about the growing problem in the area.
"It's a big problem and we are trying to fight it," he said. "It's being done by bored kids from the neighborhood."
He noted that witnesses have seen incidents of "drive-by spraying" from cars, in which perpetrators are able to make a quick getaway from their crimes.
O'Connor said his group is working with the city's anti-graffiti program to remove it regularly from fences, gates and storefronts.
The civic has also held fundraisers for the Whitestone Community Volunteer Ambulance Service and helped get new stop signs installed in the community.

Last night, I went to bed proud to be an American! But this afternoon, other issues on the ballot, like Proposition 8, made me extra blue, and not in the cool way. Sadly, some of our fellow Americans in California, Arizona, and Florida think they have the right to discriminate against homosexual love and ban an entire community from marrying. WTF? Did you people not see how adorable the Portia and Ellen wedding pics were?! Well, looking at heterosexual divorce rates, perhaps marriage itself is the lost cause. So, if America can't support a partnership based on love, whose relationships should we really be concerned about? [San Francisco Chronicle]

From the moment David Brower first laid eyes on the beauty of the Yosemite Valley, he fought to preserve the American wilderness for future generations. The story of a true American legend, Monumental documents the life of this outdoorsman, filmmaker and environmental crusader, whose fiery dedication not only saved the Grand Canyon but also transformed the Sierra Club into a powerful national political force, giving birth to the modern environmental movement. Seen through Browers own eyes - he was an accomplished filmmaker, and his stunning footage is included here - a 1956 raft trip down Glen Canyon, before its damming, evokes the awful sadness of losing public land weve failed to protect. And in period footage of Browers early rock-climbs (done in sneakers, with hemp ropes) and of his training in the 10th Mountain Division (who defeated the Nazis in the high Alps), Brower emerges as an unlikely and inspiring national hero.

All of my newly planted bare root grape vines have started to bud and I am wondering if I should fertilize and if so, how often. Any suggestions on fertilizer would be appreciated too. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, something very mild, you don't want to fry them at this point. Maybe 1/4 strength Miracle Grow, or perhaps a tablespoon of Osmocote mixed into the soil around each plant. |
- Posted by thepodpiper 6 (My Page) on Sat, May 12, 12 at 13:57
Sounds good I have Miracle Grow. |
- Posted by fruitmaven.WIz5 5 (My Page) on Sat, May 12, 12 at 14:29
How about blood meal or bone meal? |
For what it's worth....Miller provides a pretty detailed information booklet on grape culture in its planting guide. Here is what it says in the section: Fertilizing Grapes. "A Commercial Fertilizer such as 10-10-10 will supply the vine all the nutrients needed. Use 1 pound per vine in a mature vineyard. Use less on young vines and do not fertilize at all the first year. It should be applied as soon as the buds start to swell in the spring. For best results spread the fertilizer away from the base of the vine as grape feeder roots grow 8 to 10 ft. long. If the fertlizer is placed around the base of the vine it will be of little benefit. On vines that make an exceptionally strong growth use fertilizers sparingly." |
If you have alkaline soil you might consider some foliar spray. |

During Tuesday night's game between the New York Rangers and the Philadelphia Flyers, Rangers' defenseman Marc Staal was hit directly in the eye by a Kimmo Timonen slapshot.
The way Staal went down was scary, so right now I'm not going to turn this into a debate about NHLers being forced to wear visors.
I just hope Marc Staal is okay.
Torts has no update on Marc Staal's health after he takes puck in/around the eye"it's scary"
— New York Rangers (@NYRangers) March 6, 2013
UPDATE: Staal did not go to the hospital, hopefully this bodes well for the condition of his eye.
Rangers say as of right now Marc Staal hasn't been sent to a hospital. Hopefully that's good news but can't say for sure

The friendly folks at Dad's Restaurant think of each other as family?and that kind of attitude shapes every diner's experience. A welcoming bright-red exterior beckons visitors inside, where the cooks prepare locally beloved breakfasts of fluffy belgian waffles topped with fruit and cool whipped cream, as well as custom three-egg omelets plated alongside home fries and toast. Dad's is also open for midday and afternoon meals of rib-eye sandwiches and stacked triple-decker clubs.
Chez Ben Diner serves everything you'd expect from a classic American diner—three-egg omelets, triple-decker club sandwiches, and burgers—with an unexpected twist: a selection of authentic French-Canadian dishes. Founded by Benoit and Solange Quirion, the restaurant recently passed to Windsor natives Joel and Anne Quirion who continue the family tradition of friendly service, all-day breakfast, and uniquely Canadian dishes, such as poutine, a combination of fries, cheese curds, and brown gravy. The emphasis on traditional Canadian eats hasn't gone unnoticed: the breakfast poutine earned a mention in Serious Eats, and Roadfood.com calls the cretons—a cold pork spread that can be served on toast or used as stucco on a gingerbread house—"addictive."
Like any dutiful American diner, Setauket Village Diner serves burgers and fries, coffee, and omelets as part of its vast nine-page menu, which could please every diner. But like any history book about empires, it also adds Greek and Italian to the mix. Steak gyros and kebabs of chicken or salmon represent the former, whereas pasta such as linguine marinara and and shrimp scampi topped with feta and mozzarella are highlights of the latter.
Seated on red leather bar stools, guests at Silver Star Diner sip on fresh-brewed coffee and peruse a menu of comfort cuisine such as half-pound burgers, deli sandwiches, and breakfast skillets. In addition to hearty diner staples, guests can sample a rotating selection of pastries, which are baked on-site daily. Diners can order anything off the menu regardless of the time of day or lunar cycle.
Former longtime waitress Brenda Tresk owns and operates Norm's, which serves a menu of delicious diner fare 24 hours a day. Breakfast maintains Most Important Meal and Best Smile titles with all-day dishes of kielbasa omelets ($9.49) and oven-cured biscuits draped in tasty sausage gravy ($4.89). Sweet servings of silver dollar pancakes ($3.11) or thick planks of texas french toast ($4.49) balance out savory plates, and lunches such as a pastrami Reuben sandwich with fries and coleslaw ($10.29) quell midday midsection rumbles. As guests dine on satisfying portions, Norm's Americana-infused space, filled with art-deco chrome accents and a resident jukebox, evokes misty memories of a simpler time when everyone wore leather jackets and no one spoke Russian.
