I think it's a very starchy feed, so would definitely put weight on, don't know if it causes fizziness, tho......
Also, what was she fed before - changing feed should ideally be done gradually, so as not to upset her tummy.
I would be inclined to perhaps phone a feed company and ask for their nutritionists advice - Allen & page, Dengie, Spillers, Baileys,etc.
Hope you get on ok xx

I would try a conditioning feed first and see if that makes a difference. Barley is good for weight gain but some horses do react to it. Mine doesnt get fizzy but she gets spooky so I try to minimise it. I give her oil added to her feed instead. I feed her a conditioning mix. It does have barley in it tho, but she wont eat cubes.
You could try alfa oil. Its good for weight gain and doesnt cause fizziness cos its a fibre based feed.
You might find tho with the good grass coming through that shel start to put weight on without having to do anything.

highlander says:
mine tb does fine on barley but alot of horses getting fizzy/spooky. A really good feed is allen & page calm and conditioning as i've not heard of any horses getting fizzy on it. I agree with greyandbay and vik1. I'd speak to the old owner and also ring the feed companies.
It has been calculated thay any two thoroughbreds picked at random will on average have more than 13% of their genes in common.

My warmblood gets Allen and Page Calm and Condition made up like a soup consistency to maintain his weight through the winter, and when he's out jumping every weekend then he gets micronised flaked barley as well. He doesn't get fizzy on it, but he did get very fizzy on conditioning cubes.

Chris Hughton become the manager of Brighton & Hove Albion on 31st December 2014. Hughton, a former Newcastle, Norwich and Birmingham manager, was tasked with saving the south coast outfit from relegation down to League One, which he achieved by steering the club to 20th in the table.
After a stunning start to the 2015/16 season Hughton will now be looking to become the first manager in the club's history to lead them up to the Premier League.
Chris Hughton had a good career as a player with spells at Spurs, West Ham and Brentford on his CV before he moved into coaching. His early career as a coach was spent at Tottenham where he learnt the ropes as a coach and as an Assistant Manager.
Hughton spent 14 years as a coach at White Hart Lane before moving to Newcastle to take on a similar role in 2007. Following the departures of Joe Kinnear and then Alan Shearer, Hughton was given the Managers role with the club in the Championship. At the time Newcastle were in in disarray, they had been relegated, the fans had turned against the owners but Hughton ignored that to do a great job in his first full-time Management role.
With Chris Hughton at the helm, Newcastle bounced back to the Premier League at the first time of asking with the Magpies winning the Championship. Hughton deservedly took much of the credit for that but despite a decent start in the Premier League the following season he was surprisingly sacked by Mike Ashley.
Hughton's reputation had been unhurt by his sacking at Newcastle and he was duly appointed Manager of Birmingham city who themselves ahad just been relegated from the Premier League. Birmingham were forced to sell several of their better players but the expectations of the fans at St Andrews remain high which is always a tricky situation for a new Manager.
Birmingham finished 4th in the 2011/12 campaign and lost to Blackpool in the play-offs.

Reviews for Cream Cheese Blueberry Pie
"I made this pie for a ladies luncheon and everyone loved it. I have always baked the standard two-crust berry pie and this recipe now tops the list of summer favorites."
"5 stars for this delicious pie! Got lots of raves & "yum"s. I doubled the cream cheese (light) but not the powdered sugar. Also used whipped topping instead of whipping cream. I threw in some raw berries to the cooled berry mixture, too. Nummy!"
"I won first place in a pie contest with this recipe."
"good but really rich"
"I used low fat cream cheese, 1 cup lite cool whip instead of whipping cream, Stevia instead of sugar, reduced cornstarch to 1 1/2 tabs. and added 1 tea. of vanilla paste to the cream cheese mixture. Lower in fat & calories and still tastes great!"

Navy's Zack Duncavage was an All-American in the discus last season.
March 25, 2014
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - After winning the titles at the Patriot League Indoor Track and Field Championships in February, the Navy men and Boston University women have been selected to do the same in the outdoor season as they took first place in the sport's preseason polls announced on Tuesday.
The Navy men captured 14 first-place votes and 126 points to come in ahead of four-time defending outdoor champion Bucknell with the remaining four first-place nods and 115 points. Army (103), Boston University (79), Lehigh (72), Lafayette (60), Holy Cross (37), American (28) and Colgate (28) rounded out the rankings.
Boston University was a solid top pick on the women's side after making its Patriot League debut with the team title at the indoor championships. The Terriers picked up 15 first-place votes and 157 points overall, coming in ahead of Lehigh (133 points/2 first-place votes), Navy (129/2) and defending champion Bucknell (127/1). Holy Cross (93), Army (87), Lafayette (71), Colgate (47), Loyola (36) and American (20) completed the women's poll order.
Head coaches and sports information directors voted in the preseason poll, and were not allowed to select their own teams. The 2014 Patriot League Outdoor Track and Field Championships will be hosted by the United States Naval Academy at Ingram Field in Annapolis, Md. on May 2-3.
The Navy men and Boston University women both come off impressive performances at the Patriot League Indoor Track and Field Championships. The Mids won on the men's side with 201.83 points to come in front of second-place Bucknell with 173, while the Terriers dominated the women's event with 210 points to easily outdistance Lehigh at 130. Individual meet awards on the men's side went to Boston University's Rich Peters (Track Athlete), Bucknell's Ray Holmes (Field Athlete) and Army's Jose Santana (Rookie), while the women's honors were won by Holy Cross' Stephanie Okpoebo (Track Athlete) and Lehigh's Brooke Astor (Field Athlete) and Courtney Avery (Rookie). Navy's Stephen Cooksey and Boston University's Robyne Johnson were Coach of the Year honorees for leading their teams to the titles.
Navy's Jay Stell (Rookie of the Year) is the only returning men's individual honoree from last year's Patriot League Outdoor Track and Field Championships, while all three return on the women's side with Okpoebo (Track Athlete) along with Navy's Maressa Guynn (Field Athlete) and Bucknell's Chrissy Haney (Rookie).
Returnees who won events at last year's Patriot League Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championship include Navy's Weston Kennedy (1,500-meters), Zack Duncavage (Discus), Mark Vetere (Pole Vault) and Stell (Javelin), Bucknell's Kevin Keller (Long Jump) and Ray Holmes (Triple Jump)Lehigh's Ryan Paquin (Decathlon) and Patrick Ciez (High Jump) and Army's Clyde Wilson (800-meters) and Shane Jones (Shot Put). Duncavage set the Patriot League Outdoor Championship record with mark of 58.74 in the discus, and went on to finish 11th in the event at the NCAA Championships to earn All-America recognition.
Okpoebo (100-meter and 200-meter) and Astor (Heptathlon and 100-meter Hurdles) both return on the women's side after winning multiple events last year, and overall there are 14 returning champions from the 19 individual events last year. Bucknell's Jennifer Zymet (400-meters), Haney (400-meter Hurdles), Alyssa Cardillo (Long Jump) and Sophia Nnadi (Shot Put) all won events last year along with Navy's Crystan Mclymore (Triple Jump), Alix Membreno (Javelin) and Guynn (Discus), Lafayette's Rose Willey (3,000-meter Steeplechase) and Elise Buffinton (Pole Vault) and Lehigh's Jimil Ataman (Hammer Throw). Guynn set the Patriot League Outdoor Championship record with a mark of 51.97 in the discus. Okpoebo will try to become a four-time champion in both the 100-meter and 200-meter, while Zymet aims to do the same in the 400-meter. There have only been six student-athletes to win the same event in all four of their seasons at the Patriot League Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Last season, Bucknell pulled off a sweep of the Patriot League Outdoor Track and Field Championships for the third time in four years as the Bison won the title on both the men and women's side on May 4 at Lehigh's Goodman Campus Track The Bucknell men took home their fourth-consecutive outdoor title, finishing with 184 points to pull in ahead of Army (170) and Navy (159). The Bison women came in first place with 183 points, in front of runner-up Navy (141) and third-place Lehigh (119.25).

At a meeting of the Board of Directors yesterday Deputy Chairman of the Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), Ibrahim Bin Abdullah Bin Salamah, reporting the continuing enhancement of the technological potential of industrial complexes through research and development, disclosed plans to establish a research center in the area of Houston, Texas, in the United States for the purpose of supporting SABIC's scientific research and strengthening its position in international markets. He went on to highlight SABIC's plans to accomplish its targeted goals of saudization, saying more than 65 percent of the manpower in SABIC and its affiliated companies is now Saudi. In addition, he reported that expansion projects now being carried out are aimed at increasing production capacities and adding new products.
Chairman Dr. Hashem Abdullah Yamani, Minister of Industry and Electricity, in his address to the meeting praised the upgrading of SABIC's production and marketing operations and said its complexes manufactured 19 million tons of products in the first ten months of 1996, registering an increase of 780,000 tons over the same period last year. He also praised the progress of SABIC in the spheres of construction, agriculture, and industrial development programs, saying the sale of SABIC products to local factories totaled 995,000 tons, an increase of 32 percent over the same period last year.

Senior Night Set For Thursday Against Saint Joseph's At 7 P.M.
Feb. 25, 2014
The Last Meeting
February 27, 2013
Philadelphia, Pa.
Last Meeting: Saint Joseph's 87, UMass 50; Feb. 27, 2013
Saint Joseph's hit five of its first six field goals (83.3 percent) to record the initial 13 points of the contest. Redshirt-senior Chatilla van Grinsven led the Hawks early with a trio of layups during the opening run, finishing with a team-high 21 points on the contest to pace the Hawks.
Down 15-4, Harris drained her first three-point attempt of the day to bring the Minutewomen within 15-7 with 13:47 to play in the first. After a van Grinsven layup, Pierre-Louis backed into the paint and swished a turnaround jumper to again cut the deficit to eight with 13:14 remaining in the half. However, the Hawks offense continued to knock down their attempts over the remainder of the half, resulting in a 50-25 score in favor of Saint Joseph's at the break.
Scouting Saint Joseph's Women's Basketball
Erin Shields' 15.4 points per game leads three Hawks scoring in double-figures this year as Sarah Fairbanks adds 13.0 and Natasha Cloud chips in 12.1 on average. Shields is hitting 40.0 percent of her three-pointers (78-of-195) to bolster her total while only missing four free throws (74-of-78; .949) all season. Overall she is shooting 42.4 percent from the floor (132-for-311) and sports a 1.7 assist-to-turnover margin with 90 helpers against only 53 lost possessions.
After plowing through non-conference play nearly unimpeded, only losing at No. 15 LSU, 80-64 and at Syracuse, 64-62, the Hawks have struggled to replicate their early-season success during Atlantic 10 Conference play. The reigning Atlantic 10 Tournament Champions have dropped games to George Washington, Saint Louis, St. Bonaventure, VCU and most recently Dayton. Each of those losses came by seven or fewer points prior to dropping an 82-56 game at Dayton on Feb. 23.

Timbilla Joins Most Successful All-Time UMass Rebounders
Mital Stopping And Popping Her Way Into The Record Book
Her junior season success earned her the spot on UMass' all-time leaderboard for made three-pointers as she is 49-for-131 (37.4 percent) with two games left to play in the regular season. As a sophomore in 2012-13, Mital hit 48 of her 151 tries from long distance (31.8 percent) after she finished 8-of-39 in the category as a freshman (20.5 percent).
She is also ninth all-time in three-point field goal attempts (321) and her made percentage (.327) puts her in 13th place in the record book for the category currently.
Back-To-Back With 20+
It marked the first time any Minutewomen have recorded as many points in two straight games since Jasmine Watson had 21 on Nov. 10, 2012, against Kent State before Emily Mital went for 22 at Central Connecticut three days later, a span of 53 contests between the two streaks.
The last time one player recorded back-to-back 20+ point performances was when Watson scored 22 against La Salle on Feb. 26, 2011 before earning 25 in the following game versus Charlotte on March 4, 2011. It was 84 games between one Minutewoman scoring 20 or more in consecutive games.
She Gets Buckets
For her career, Pierre-Louis has never shot less than 44.4 percent for a season and has made 203 of her 426 attempts as a Minutewoman (47.7 percent). She was 20-of-43 as a freshman (46.5 percent) and 32-for-72 over her sophomore campaign (48.8 percent).
International Appeal
The four internationally-born players are tied for the second-most on one season's roster in program history with the 2012-13 and 2004-05 campaigns. The squad has had at least one international student-athlete active on the roster in each of the last 14 seasons and 19 of the previous 20.
UMass women's basketball has had eight Canadian players compete for the program in the history of the squad while Bomben and Tarnachowicz are the players to suit up for the Maroon and White from their respective countries. The four internationals mark the second-most on a squad among all Atlantic 10 teams behind only Duquesne's six foreign-born players.
Thomas Named To A-10 Legends Class Of 2014
She will be honored along with her 12 women's basketball compatriots and the 13 men's basketball inductees during the 2014 Atlantic 10 Championship.

Single tickets range from $70 to $20 and can be purchased online at www.attpac.org, by phone at 214-880-0202 or in person at the AT&T Performing Arts Center Information Center, 2353 Flora Street (Monday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.; Tuesday thru Saturday 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.; Sunday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.).
André Watts burst upon the music world at the age of 16 when Leonard Bernstein chose him to make his debut with the New York Philharmonic in their Young People's Concerts, broadcast nationwide on CBS-TV. Only two weeks later, Bernstein asked him to substitute at the last minute for the ailing Glenn Gould in performances of Liszt's E-flat Concerto with the New York Philharmonic, thus launching his career in storybook fashion. More than 50 years later, André Watts remains one of today's most celebrated and beloved superstars.
A perennial favorite with orchestras throughout the US, Mr. Watts is also a regular guest at the major summer music festivals including Ravinia, the Hollywood Bowl, Saratoga, Tanglewood, Eastern Music and the Mann Music Center. Recent and upcoming engagements include appearances with the Philadelphia Orchestra in Philadelphia and on tour, the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonics, and the St. Louis, Atlanta, Detroit, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Seattle and National symphonies among others. In celebration of the Liszt anniversary in 2011, Mr. Watts played all-Liszt recitals throughout the US, while recent and upcoming international engagements include concerto and recital appearances in Japan, Hong Kong, Germany and Spain.

College Hockey:2009-10 Neumann Season Preview
It is most definitely a clich, but Neumann stunned the college hockey world when they walked away with the 2009 national championship last March. After stumbling through most of the season, the Knights got hot in the playoffs and ran the table all the way to the final buzzer in Lake Placid.
That team was led by a group of 12 seniors, who as freshmen joined a perennial doormat team that was also rocked with off-ice issues. That group took it upon themselves to build the program from the ground up and now have set the bar very high for future classes.
"That group of seniors built this program, were the foundation of it, and now what we are trying to do with the younger kids is build off of that and take the next steps," said Neumann coach Dominick Dawes. "The young guys have learned a little bit since they have gotten here, getting a sense of the amount of work that those guys put in to get to that level. A lot of it is the translation for the guys who returned from last year's team to show the younger guys the amount of work that it takes."
Coach Dawes finds himself with a much, much younger team heading into this season. With only five upperclassmen, leadership could be an issue.
"We have a lot of young guys here," said Dawes. "We had to replace half the team. We'll start from scratch, continue to get better, and build off what we accomplished last year."
Fourteen freshmen will step onto the ice for Neumann this season, covering every position on the ice. The Knights coaching staff were looking to recruit a certain kind of hard working player, similar to the style of last year's seniors, to continue the team's success.
"There [are] a lot of freshmen," said Dawes. "At this point, I'm not sure about them yet. We brought in a good solid young group, with a couple of transfers in there as well. I expect them to step in and make a pretty big impact. We were looking for guys that fit into the Neumann mentality of blue collar, hard working guys who are going to go out there and lay it on the line."
In addition to the 14 first year players, three transferred into Neumann this season: Brent Tamane from D-Is Bemidji State and William LaCasse and Cory Park from D-III Buffalo State.
There are fewer question marks in goal this season for the Knights as Ross MacKinnon comes off a stellar freshman season. He will be looked to as the starting netminder again this season, but expect fellow sophomore Matt Tendler to push MacKinnon along.
"I expect [MacKinnon] to be No. 1," said Dawes. "Everyone knows it is his job, but I think we have a guy right behind him that is going to push him to get better."
Repeating as champions is never easy in any sport and Division III college hockey isn't any different. Just ask the previous two national champions, St. Norbert and Oswego, both of whom failed to make the NCAA tournament the year after they won it all.
With a very young team, Neumann certainly has its work cut out for it.
"The biggest challenge is to get these guys to step in and make the adjustment to college hockey and to become a team," said coach Dawes.

Preview: Crystal Palace v Sunderland
by Ashley Houghton
We look ahead to Selhurst Park trip.
Sunderland travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday and will hope to build on the final 15 minutes of Tuesday night's Capital One Cup win over MK Dons.
Paolo Di Canio's side scored four goals in the closing stages of the game with the Dons – turning round a two-goal deficit to pick up their first win of the campaign.
Palace are still searching for their first victory since returning to the top flight after defeats against Tottenham Hotspur and Stoke City.
And, after losing 2-1 to Bristol City in their midweek Capital One Cup tie, the Eagles are yet to pick up a win in competitive action since their return.
Di Canio's side will be looking to break the Black Cats' barren run at Selhurst Park which has seen the Wearsiders fail to win in Croydon since 1995 when David Kelly struck the only goal of the game.
The hosts will be buoyed by Marouane Chamakh opening his Eagles account in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Stoke and they'll hope he can make a difference this weekend.
Kevin Phillips could feature against his former club; the Hitchin-born striker scored 130 goals for the Black Cats in 235 appearances becoming one of the red and white army's favourite sons.
Steven Fletcher returned to the bench on Tuesday evening and the Scottish international will travel south with the squad.
Meanwhile Di Canio may hand a chance to Connor Wickham after the England U21 international scored twice in the win over the Dons.
Saturday's meeting will be the 41st between the two sides with the Black Cats and the Eagles sharing 14 wins apiece, whilst there have been 12 draws.

The upcoming Consumer Electronics Show 2014 in Las Vegas promises to feature the usual array of devices that only the wealthy could possibly afford along with some gadgets for the masses.
- 4K TV takes a bow. Major television manufacturers LG, Samsung and Panasonic plan to debut huge 4K TVs costing anywhere from $3000 to over $100,000 at CES 2014. A 4K Ultra HD TV (a.k.a., UHD TV) has four times the resolution of 1080p full HD TV. That's 8 million pixels, compared with 2 million pixels for full HD, at a resolution just slightly below what you'd see at your local movie theater with digital cinema. Though you won't find much 4K content available yet, YouTube plans to demo its 4K video streaming codec at CES as well.
- Low cost tablets run the new Android version. Polaroid plans to show their new line of Android 4.4 (Kit Kat) tablets, at 7", 8" and 10" sizes and ranging in price from $129 to $179. The tablets are slated for release in the spring. Few devices ship with this new version of Android yet, let alone those in the low end of the price spectrum.
- Wearable technology companies continue pushing into the mainstream. So far, wearable health devices like the FitBit have developed a niche following with technology to track steps, calories and workout information and sync it to your smart phone. Devices like Samsung's Galaxy Gear and Google Glass, still only available to beta testers, haven't set the world ablaze so far, but more companies keep jumping on board in hopes of catching the public's attention.
- Android and iOS want to control your car. Tech companies have been fighting for ground in the auto industry, trying to control nearly everything a car does except driving. Some car manufacturers have begun adding iOS or Android compatibility directly into their automobiles, and Apple and Google continue to compete for placement in the most popular car models. Audi is expected to announce a partnership with Google to include Android in their cars.
- Smart home tech keeps trying to engage. "Intelligent home" technology aims to let you control nearly every part of your home with a smart phone or other small instrument. So far, smart phone control of home components has caught on in the home security industry, but promises of energy conservation and other nifty possibilities are still being fleshed out. Expect companies to continue showing new options in this area.
- Snap a BlackBerry-esque keyboard onto your iPhone. Despite having to defend itself in a lawsuit from BlackBerry, Ryan Seacrest's Typo Keyboards business still plans to debut its iPhone snap-on keyboard at CES 2014. Slated to begin shipping orders in late January, the company's $99 product connects to an iPhone 5 or iPhone 5S and uses a Bluetooth connection. BlackBerry alleges that the Typo looks too much like a BlackBerry keyboard and infringes on the iconic smart phone company's intellectual property rights.

Cabrini copyright policy and file-sharing
file-sharing policy
Cabrini College and Holy Spirit Library are subject to the copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) which governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions –including digital—of copyrighted material. Copyright is the right of an author, composer, or other creator of a work to control the use of that work by others. This protection extends to literature, music, drama, pantomimes, choreography, pictures, graphic works, sculpture, motion pictures, audiovisual works, sound recordings, and architecture. Copyrighted works may not be reproduced without the permission of the individual who owns the copyright. Public display and performances of copyrighted works are also restricted.
Intellectual property created by faculty members and employees of Cabrini College is protected under Cabrini's copyright policy.
"Fair Use" is a copyright law doctrine that permits the reproduction or other use of a copyrighted work, without the copyright owner's permission, for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, and research.
Under "fair use", libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
Cabrini College is committed to taking reasonable steps to avoid misuse of its computer network, including use of the computer network to violate the Copyright Law of the United States. Hollywood-supported legislation is part of the higher education bill (Higher Education Opportunity Act 2008) and is designed to curtail music and movie piracy. Campus computer networks are often used illegally to reproduce and distribute copyrighted music, movies, television shows, pictures, and software through the use of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. P2P file sharing applications allow a computer to connect to a P2P network, and once connected, make it possible to download and share files with other users on the network. Providing or obtaining copyrighted material (e.g., music, movies, videos, text, etc.) without permission from the copyright owner violates the U.S. Copyright Act and College policy.
Beginning in April 2003 when members of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) filed civil suits against students at Michigan Tech, Princeton University, and Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute seeking substantial damages for copyright infringement, there has been an increasing level of attention to violators of copyright laws. (Those cases were quickly settled, with each of the student defendants agreeing to pay more than $12,000 in damages.) Since then, there has been increasing pressure on universities to take action against copyright violations, especially those attributable to P2P.
Students cited by the RIAA, the Motion Picture Association of America, Universal Studios, the Business Software Alliance, the Interactive Digital Software Association (now the Entertainment Software Association) or any other legitimate industry protected under copyright laws and are reported to ITR will have their network ports disabled immediately. Cabrini's ITR department has a legal right to disable the network connection. If a student suspects their network port has been disabled they are to contact ITR for verification. Student's ports will only be enabled after meeting with Residence Life. Illegal Peer-to-Peer programs will be removed from a student's computer by the ITR department following the meeting with Residence Life. Repeat offenders will have their network ports turned off for the remainder of the year.
Additional information is available in the Library's Copyright Policy and Academic Reserves document, available at: http://www.cabrini.edu/library/Policies.html
copyright policy
Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United Sates (title 17, U.S. Code) to the authors and creators of original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. It is illegal for anyone to violate the rights provided by the copyright law to the owner of the copyright. Mere ownership of a book, manuscript, painting, music CD, or DVD does not give the possessor the copyright.
Holy Spirit Library is the central point of information dissemination on the Cabrini College campus. The Library is the first place students, faculty, and staff turn when searching for appropriate scholarly information. The staff members of Holy Spirit Library take seriously the responsibility to provide information to the campus community while respecting current copyright law. The Library encourages all members of the College community to respect the rights of copyright holders while exercising user rights to use copyrighted material in all of their teaching, learning, and research endeavors ("fair use").
Cabrini College and Holy Spirit Library are bound by copyright law of the United States which governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is to be "used for … private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
copyright protection or public domain
Some categories of publications are in the public domain and can be freely used and copied:
- Works published in the United States before 1923.
- Works published in the United States between 1923 and 1963 with an original copyright notice that has not been renewed.
- Works published in the United States between 1923 and 1978 without an original copyright notice.
- Works published in the United States between 1978 and March 1, 1989 without an original copyright notice or copyright registration.
If a publication does not meet any of these criteria, it is not in the public domain, and the copyright holder is protected under law. Publication is not essential for copyright protection, nor is the well known symbol of the encircled "c".
Section 106 of the Copyright Act (90 Stat 2541) generally gives the owner of copyright (and only the owner) the exclusive right to do and to authorize others to do the following:
- Reproduce copies of the work.
- Prepare derivative works based on the copyrighted work.
- Distribute copies of the work by sale, rental, lease, or lending.
- Publicly perform the work (if it is a literary, musical, dramatic, or choreographic work or a pantomime, motion picture or audiovisual work).
- Publicly display the work (if it is a literary, musical, dramatic, choreographic, sculptural, graphic, or pictorial work -- including the individual images of a film -- or a pantomime).
The Copyright Act of 1976, Section 107 created standards for conditions that constitute "Fair Use" Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other mean specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:
- The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purpose.
A word of caution: several courts have held that absence of financial gain is insufficient for a finding of fair use.
- The nature of the copyrighted work (especially whether creative or informational).
Photocopies of a newspaper article are more apt to be considered "fair use" than photocopies of a short story or poem.
- The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole.
The smaller the portion, the more likely it is to be "fair use."
- The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
Probably the most important: if the reproduction of a copyrighted work reduces the copyright holder's potential for sales and profit, the use is unlikely to be "fair use."
guidelines for classroom copying
A single copy may be made by a faculty member for his or her scholarly research OR for use in teaching:
- A chapter from a book
- An article from a newspaper or periodical
- A short story, short essay, or short poem, whether or not from a collective work
- A chart, group, diagram, drawing, cartoon, or picture from a book, periodical, or newspaper.
Viewing a DVD from Holy Spirit Library or from a local video rental store is permissible under current copyright law as part of a face-to-face class meeting. In the case of a virtual class, viewing a DVD is permissible under the Teach Act (see below) assuming that the work is essential to the class to meet teaching goals. The work should be password protected to ensure that only students enrolled in the class will have access to the video. Furthermore, the video should have a limited availability, preferably only visible during the scheduled class time and limited to streaming video. As with any copyrighted work, a copyright notice should be visible to all students. Classroom screening of copyrighted material does not require performance licensing as long as it meets "fair use" provisions
Section 110 (1) of the Copyright Act
Performance or display of a work by instructors or pupils in the course of face-to- face teaching activities of a nonprofit educational institution, in a classroom or similar place devoted to instruction, unless, in the case of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, the performance, or the display of individual images is given by means of a copy that was not lawfully made...and that the person responsible for the performance knew or had reason to believe was not lawfully made.
Viewing Videos and DVDs Outside the Classroom
Viewing a DVD outside of the classroom either in the Library, residence hall, or office is permissible so long as it is in a small group setting. Large group viewings in a residence hall lounge or other large public room on campus may be considered a public performance by the copyright holder. This circumstance may require permission from the copyright holder in the form of public performance rights.
Video Recordings/Off-Air Recording for Classroom Use
Guidelines have been created for the educational and scholarly use of off-air recording as follows:
- Only recorded programs that are broadcast for the general public, not programs from paid cable television channels, are permissible.
- The recording must be shown within ten school days of the tapping. After the ten day period, the recording can only be viewed for evaluation purposes and must be destroyed within 45 days of original broadcast.
- The recorded program may not be altered.
Reproducing Copyrighted Works
Libraries or archives may reproduce copyrighted works for the purpose of preservation, scholarship, or research provided that the work is no longer available commercially, a new copy cannot be obtained at a reasonable price, or that the copyright owner or its agent provides notice that either of the above conditions applies.
guidelines for using print reserves
Holy Spirit Library offers Print Reserve service. When submitting items for reserve, please allow ample time for library staff to process your request. We ask that you allow two working days for the Library place all items on reserve.
In addition:
- No more than 25 copyrighted items will be placed on reserve for a single course.
- Please include a copy of your course syllabus with your reserve items.
- All items for print reserve must be accompanied by a complete bibliographic citation. Include the bibliographic citation on the first page of photocopied journal articles or include the title page and verso for photocopied book chapters.
- Be advised that all materials will be removed from the Reserve Desk shelves at the end of every semester. Instructors should make arrangements to collect any personal items at the end of the semester.
If you would like to use the same items the following semester for another course, you need to inform the Holy Spirit Library.
Materials accepted reserves:
print reserves
- Library or Instructor owned books, periodicals, CDs, DVDs, and videos.
- One chapter from a copyrighted book or a portion of a book no more than 15% of the entire work.
- One article per journal issue.
- Material created by the Instructor (syllabus, lecture notes, PowerPoint presentations, tests, etc.).
- Student created works (accompanied by a signed consent form).
If you would like to use an item that does not meet the "fair use" provisions, the Library will attempt to obtain copyright clearance through the Copyright Clearance Center and bill your department for the cost.
disclaimer: The Library Director reserves the right to refuse items for reserve, if in her judgment the items do not meet the fair use provisions set forth in the United States Copyright Act of 1976 (Section 107) described above.
Alternatives to Print Reserves
Print reserve service is not a substitute for the creation of a course pack or for obtaining copyright clearance. The total number of items placed on reserve should be a small percentage of the entire course's readings. If you will be using the same items in subsequent semesters for your course or have created an anthology of readings that could be considered a substitute for a textbook, consider creating a course pack. The campus bookstore is able to provide this service. They will obtain copyright clearance, reproduce and package your items for sale in the bookstore. The bookstore can be reached at 610.902.8526.
Requiring that students purchase materials is still a viable option. Many online bookstores offer discounted rates for students to purchase educational materials.
online courses and the TEACH Act
In November, 2002, a bill was signed into law that helps faculty members use copyrighted materials in online education. This bill, the Technology Education and Copyright Harmonization Act, permits professors to use materials free of charge without having to ask permission of copyright holders under specific conditions.
A Copyright Checklist for Online Courses
These criteria must be met:
- The College must be accredited and nonprofit.
- The College must have an internal policy on use of copyrighted material and on copyright law.
- The College must make educational materials on copyright available for use.
- The work must not have been intended originally for educational use.
- The work must have been acquired lawfully.
- The work must be integral to the class session.
- The work must be part of instructional activities.

The display of a work in an amount analogous to the classroom setting.
10. Access is restricted to students enrolled in the course.
11. Controls prevent students from disseminating the material after viewing.
12. Converting from analog to digital:

After U-T San Diego's Kevin Acee reported that San Diego Chargers GM A.J. Smith and head coach Norv Turner will be fired at the end of the season, old Norv probably didn't even flinch.
He's heard it all before, even last season, around the same time. He's been around a long time and knows it all goes with the territory.
"It's part of the deal," he said. "The one thing I always feel good about, I got here at 5:30 in the morning and there were guys in the weight room, there were guys in the training room, there were guys already in meeting rooms watching tape. ... Any of the reports haven't affected them, and that's what I care about. They're getting ready to go and play their best and give themselves a chance to win in Pittsburgh."
He was also asked if this weighs on his and the coaching staff's mind while preparing: "I don't think so,... so, you know, that's what I was trying to refer to. Our staff was here doing cards, preparing for practice when I got here at 5:30 in the morning."
"It's an outstanding staff, and I think they've done an outstanding job for this football team."

Legendary AJ boys basketball coach John Byrd, who guided the Vols to a pair of state championships, Barbara Tyler, who led the Lady Vols to the school's first-ever state crown, and Marti Tiller, who made three state title game appearance with a 1983 state banner – were the luminaries.
The community banner project is back and one of the organizers hopes it will be even more successful than last year.
The Lancaster County School District and city of Lancaster worked together last year with grant funds to sponsor the project for the first time.
Each school in the county had a hand in creating designs for banners, which were hung on street lamps along Main Street or draped over special stainless steel cubes designed by local sculptor Bob Doster for the lawn of the Springs House, home of the Lancaster County Council of the Arts, in downtown Lancaster.
A Lancaster man accidentally shot his wife in the back Wednesday afternoon while cleaning a rifle, Sheriff Barry Faile said.
According to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office incident report, Roy Spencer, 64, told deputies that he was in his basement cleaning a .50-caliber black powder rifle.
Spencer told authorities he was trying to remove a bullet from the rifle to clean the gun when it fired accidentally, according to the report.
The bullet went through the ceiling.
Lancaster County Council will consider a resolution to bring a new company to the county at its Monday meeting.
As part of its ongoing efforts to bring more industry into the county, council will discuss an inducement resolution for a company that has not yet been publicly named.
County Administrator Steve Willis said the company, a defense-type contractor, has been dubbed "Project Shield" until the deal is complete.
Two white bicycles mark the spot on U.S. 521 in Indian Land where avid cyclists Thomas Hoskins and Lee Anne Barry were hit by a car on Oct. 21, 2007.
Hoskins, 49, died on the side of the highway. Barry, 43, died four hours later at a Charlotte hospital.
On Thursday, the woman who hit them, Lancaster native Sharon Snipes King, 37, now of Greensboro, N.C., pleaded guilty in court to reckless driving in their deaths.
Judge Brooks Goldsmith sentenced her to a $200 fine, which she must pay by Monday or go to jail for 30 days.

You are entering a Christmas Wonderland!
Do you remember our dear friends who invited us to their home in Cabo last spring? I posted lots of pictures of their gorgeous home overlooking the ocean...
Well every year they host a traditional Christmas breakfast with friends, and we were so lucky to be able to partake of the fabulous-ness they prepared in our behalf! And as I was there looking around their beautiful home, I was overcome with wonder and awe at the inspiring over-the-top Christmas decor they had everywhere I looked. I knew I needed my camera, but I didn't think to bring it! Why didn't I know I would need it?
So after I had eaten I decided to run home and get it so I could attempt to share some of it with you.
Let me just say that my lame photography skills in no way do it justice, so you'll just have to believe me when I say it was absolutely breathtaking!
This is the purple table in the entryway. It introduces you to a glimpse of what is inside...
... the shimmery chandelier hanging overhead in the entry way...
Below, we have a picture of Kirk cleaning up after the delicious breakfast of whole grain waffles with fresh fruit toppings and whipped cream, homemade traditional french crepes with all the trimmings, buttery scrambled eggs laced with cheese, crisp, savory bacon, fresh squeezed orange juice and hot cocoa with whipped cream. YUM!
Look at all those baubles hanging from the ceiling.
This above is the famous custom made Italian pizza oven. It is used weekly if not more often, and i have had the pleasure a few times now of partaking of Jackie's gourmet homemade personal pizzas made in this oven. There's nothing better!
The sun-drenched breakfast table "post-feast". Bet you can't tell what Jackie's favorite color is...
This here is just a portion of the "tree"...for lack of a better term. It is literally encrusted with Christmas cheer!
(Once again my photography skills can't begin to even attempt... )
This is the mantel over the living room fireplace. More of that favorite color...
(And a closeup shot of that same mantel to show the detail.)
This is the staircase banister, which I couldn't begin to showcase effectively. It swirls and curves around and continues in the manner you see here.
The whole house was filled with adorable elfin creatures everywhere you look! Just like a fairy tale.
...Visions of sugar plums....
A small spot of Christmas green in a crystal sea of lavender and plum.
Here are two little elves sitting on a shelf in the kitchen.
Literally an entire nation of elves reside here at Christmas time. Aren't they adorable?
Here in the dining room, there are two enormous nutcrackers on steroids! My 11 year old daughter is standing next to one, so you can see just how large they are.
I just had to include this zebra chair in the front room. (I think it's my favorite thing!)
Talk about an impact piece...wow!
Well, there you have it. I wish you could have been there in person, and I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas celebration wherever you are...or Hanukkah, or whatever you may be celebrating!
I'm going to go cook up some holiday caramels!
Hugs to you all,

Okay... I'm not trying to "brown" nose BUT the way you feel about all those decorations is about the same feeling I have when I flip through the charm pack of Eden that I just had to buy this past weekend. AND, there's such a beautiful purple in there as well. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year!!

That house is amazing, makes me want to decorate my whole house as well!!!! if it weren't for the fact of packing it all away lol

It is beyond stunning, to say the least. I can't help but wonder though, if they were to take that money (which there seems to be an overabundance of) which is used on unbelievable extravagance and helped the less fortunate... Live simply, so others can simply live! Not that this has anything to do with you, just saying.

I would like to address the anonymous message above.
I agree with you. Clearly there is an overabundance here.
I must, however, say this in their defense: These folks donate huge amounts of money to care for the homeless, hungry, and the destitute in many countries around the world. They share their wealth with needy in their own neighborhood and hometown as well.
So...I get what you are saying for sure, but trul
y in this case there is much good being done with it as well.
- December 28, 2009 at 12:07 PM
That's super fantastic! I do believe God WILL bless if you share with others!!! :)) Anyway, that makes me feel better. Really though, I want to repeat, very gorgeous!

Mendiola said she now hopes to host a live jazz combo or a piano player, which she hopes will attract customers headed elsewhere.
"A lot of people, they don't have a place to sit down and have fun and listen to music," she said. "So what do they do? They hop on a train and go to Hoboken, they go to New York."
Bar Majestic is already planning three nights of music on Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, owner Joseph Castro said last night.
"It broadens our menu in what we can offer," Castro said about bringing music to his establishment. "People are hungry for it, for more entertainment. The ordinance held us back, but now we can make a viable option for nightlife, like a different Hoboken."

We dove into Pinyadda's news trend data to track mention of party terms in headlines from hundreds of news outlets and blogs across the web. We looked for the words Republican or GOP, Conservative, Tea Party, Democrat or Dems, and Liberal. Here is the data we pulled over time, and a second graph below it displays totals:
Mentions of Republican or GOP led in headline mentions throughout September, trailing off at the end with Democrat or Dems mentions overtaking the last few days of the month. Mentions of Tea Party were prevalent in the press throughout September — passing mentions of Democrat or Dems in the third week of September — but also trailed off the end of the month. Mentions of Liberal and Conservative party stances were mentioned to much less of a degree than party names. Interestingly,
We also took a snapshot of total party mentions in the press in September:
The GOP clearly led in media buzz, and interestingly Tea Party mentions exceeded mentions of Republican.
Are you surprised at any of the data? What other political data are you interested in seeing? Email us or leave your thoughts in the comments!

By Adam Armour/The Itawamba County Times
FULTON – City leaders have trashed the idea of a citywide curbside recycling program.
Although the members of the Fulton Board of Aldermen had been discussing, off and on, the possibility of providing curbside recycling pickup to area residents, the board officially decided against the idea during its recent meeting.
"It just doesn't seem like something we need to do," Fulton Mayor Paul Walker told the board. Cost, he said, is a big factor; convenience is another.
First, the cost: In order to join the program, each participating customer would have to be provided with a $45 recycling bin … an expense that may or may not have been passed on to the customers.
Second, in order for Waste Connections, the company that handles garbage pickup for the city, to provide curbside recycling pickup, customers would have to lose at least a week of regular garbage pickup each month. Some customers might have even lost two pickups each month.
Just because city officials decided against curbside recycling doesn't mean Fulton residents can't be environmentally conscious. The city has been actively participating in a recycling program for years.
The city recently moved its large public recycling container to the Fulton Fire Department on South Adams Street in order to be more visible and easily accessible to more people.
The bin is emptied weekly, its contents taken to Tupelo to be recycled.

Taxi TV: The Celebrities Weigh In
We canvass the stars at last night's 'Cry-Baby' premiere to see whether anyone will defend the honor of cabbie cable.
So yesterday many of you gave us your feedback on Taxi TV, and the response was overwhelmingly negative. It is a "grotesque intrusion, for tourists only," commenters griped. "I furiously jab at the screen until the damn thing goes dark!" Well, that's all very well and good, but what do famous people think about the city's newest annoyance? Surely their opinions matter more than ours! New York's Tim Murphy canvassed the stars at last night's Cry-Baby premiere on Broadway, and this is what New York's luminaries had to say:
Debbie Harry: "I shut it off. It's annoying … New York is very entertaining. We don't need TV in the car." [Harry admits she sometimes also talks to the cabbie. That's so CBGB!!]
Brett Ratner: "If I'm on the phone, I turn it off, but when I'm not on the phone, I like watching it." [What does he like watching?] "Movie trailers — I'm obsessed with them."
Estelle Parsons: "I always turn it off immediately. I want to do other things in the cab like make calls and read my scripts. Even if I might want to know the weather, I turn it off anyway. I can't tell you why. I just do it."
Jerry Stiller:: "I don't find it something that I want to be listening to while I'm riding in a cab and trying to get to a destination where I'm thinking of something in my life. Suddenly I'm getting weather and other things. At the same time, everybody has to make a living, and I hope the cab drivers are getting a piece of the action."
Anne Meara: "Oh, no, I turn it off immediately!"
Isn't there anyone out there who will defend Taxi TV?

While participating in a panel called "The US Space Enterprise Partnership" at the NewSpace Conference that was held by the Space Frontier Foundation on Saturday, SpaceX Chief Operating Officer Gwynne Shotwell opined that NASA's budget should be raised to $22-25 billion, according to a tweet by Space Policy Online's Marcia Smith. The theory is that a lot of political rancor has taken place in the aerospace community because of the space agency's limited budget. If the budget were to be increased to pay for everything on the space wish list, the rancor will cease.
The statement represents something of a departure of the usual mutual antagonism that exists between some in the commercial space community and some at NASA. Indeed Space Politics' Jeff Foust added a tweet, "Thought: a panel at a Space Frontier Foundation conf is talking about how to increase NASA budget. Imagine that in late 90s." The Space Frontier Foundation has been a leading voice for commercializing space, sometimes at the expense of NASA programs.
The shift to the idea that commercial space and NASA may benefit one another started when President George W. Bush first proposed the Vision for Space Exploration. Part of the VSE involved ending the space shuttle program and outsourcing the transportation of supplies and astronauts to and from the International Space Station. Thus NASA would be freed to conduct space exploration beyond low Earth orbit. President Obama caused some friction between NASA supporters and the commercial space community by cancelling the space exploration part of the VSE and doubling down on the commercial space initiative.
The idea of a $25 billion NASA is beguiling, mainly because it would allow the space agency to fully fund a whole slate of space exploration programs. They would include a return to the moon, asteroid capture schemes, and expeditions to Mars. Not coincidentally commercial space firms like SpaceX would stand to profit handsomely from partnership arrangements.
The idea of increasing NASA's budget will not be universally embraced by the "newspace" community, which includes advocates as well as actual businesspeople. Recently USA Today published a piece by space blogger Rand Simberg that basically called for ending any attempt by NASA to mount space exploration, regarding such as ill-conceived attempts to recreate the glory of the Apollo moon landing. Ironically he cited SpaceX as the example of a purely commercial space effort, free from the fetters of the past.
"Meanwhile, SpaceX has already shown the way to low-cost launch and plans to blazing a path to even lower costs through reusability, more in keeping with von Braun's original, more affordable vision until it was derailed by Apollo."
It seems that at least one person at SpaceX would beg to disagree.

MEDINA — Like many kids his age, Kyle Gordon wants to someday compete in the Olympics.
Gordon is not a typical kid, however. The Montville Township resident has done more in the sport of taekwondo than most do in a lifetime.
And he's only 10.
The local recently claimed the national championship in his age bracket at the America Taekwondo United National Championships in West Orange, New Jersey.
"I was surprised," Gordon said. "It was a lot of work. I was training three days a week."
While his friends were busy swimming in the pool or riding their bikes, Gordon was working hard. After multiple-hour practices, he would come home and continue to jump rope and work on his kick bag in the family's basement for that extra edge.
The work paid off, as Gordon walked away with the gold medal in his age group of the black belt sparring division to earn the title of national champion. Earlier this year, he won gold at the state and regional championships in sparring, board breaking and forms.
"I like competitive sports," said Gordon, who also plays lacrosse, football and basketball. "I was mostly on the defensive side (in the sparring finals) and I waited for him to do something before I did."
This is not something new to Gordon, who will be a fifth-grader at Waite Elementary. Since he was 4, he has been perfecting his skills at World Champion Tae Kwon Do in Strongsville.
If it wasn't for his twin brother Kaden convincing him to start, he might not be the black belt he is today.
"Kyle is a different breed of child," his mother Kim said. "He works so hard. When his master tells him to do something, he does it. He constantly wants to get better and is a perfectionist.
"So when he won, after going through all of that, I was very proud. Words can't describe the emotion."
This might not be the last time that his mom sheds some tears, as Kyle Gordon wants to someday represent his country in the sport.
His master, Keun Moo Ryu, is a seventh-degree black belt and a two-time world champion who wants to take Gordon to his homeland of Korea next summer to perfect his skills. The goal is for Gordon to participate in the AAU Junior Olympics by the time he enters high school.
Gordon has already been studying the athletes he looks up to by looking at highlights on Google and putting in countless hours of work at the gym.
"I like watching the grownups on video and learning from other competitors," he said. "You get a lot of discipline. It's more of a mental strength and not just physical. It also helps me in school and other sports."

Yesterday brought the horribly sad news that Guillermo del Toro and Universal Pictures parted ways on the H.P. Lovecraft adaptation At the Mountains of Madness, which the filmmaker blamed on a disagreement over his desire that the movie have an R-rating in a terse e-mail to The New Yorker.
Ever aware of his fans, del Toro sat down with Deadline to elaborate further on why he wouldn't budge on Universal's need for a more mass audience-friendly rating.
"Ultimately, I think the MPAA could rule the movie PG-13 because the movie and the book are not gory. If that is the outcome, fine. But I don't want to put the PG-13 on paper, for one reason. We created Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, thinking we would be safe looking for PG-13 because we had no profanity, no sex, no gore, but we made a very intense movie in a very classical mold. And the MPAA gave it an R. They said the movie was too intense for a PG-13. The only thing I know about Mountains is, I do not want it to be bloody, I do not want it to be crass, but I want it to be as intense as possible. And those discussions were had in the open. Everyone knew this was my position, that I knew I was asking the chance for the movie to be what it needs to be. I don't think it's a good idea to relinquish that on paper."
As I wrote yesterday, I don't think either party is really in the wrong here. Del Toro is right to stick to his guns, and Universal's hesitation is completely justified. A gamble was taken with Scott Pilgrim that, very very sadly, did not pay off. If you want to blame anything, blame the culture we live in.
In more positive news, del Toro has every intention of getting back behind the camera by this September. It's been far too long. There's quite a bit more to this Deadline interview, so make sure you check it out.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO – James Cameron (producer who wanted to work with Del Toro specifically) – DO SOMETHING!!
I hate how creativity is stifled by aims of profit. Isn't Del Toro a safebet regardless of rating? I hate the PG-13 rating, it is the biggest bane to the movie industry. As an avid movie fan this is just as disappointing as the Dragonball movie being green-lit.
So I guess no movie with an R-rating ever made money, right ?
right ?
The MPAA is a scourge on the modern world.
