California Watershed Assessment Guides - 0 views

shared by Erika Whiteway on 02 Apr 11 - No Cached
  •  
    From CERES, California Natural Resources Department database. Do you know what your watershed is? What entity--public or private?--owns your water? If you live in California and don't know the answers, you need to enlighten yourself so you can act in your own best interests and hopefully those of your community. If you really care, get a seat on the advisory committee. In every county, there are advisory committees for everything from aviation to women's issues; there's always openings somewhere. Serving on an advisory committee is a low-stress but important way to get involved in your community, meet like-minded people and start learning how politics works in your county just by focusing your interest in one specific issue. A great first-step for anyone who thinks they'd like to get into politics...or for people like me who are sick to death of politics but have to do something about something...

ALA | What is Fair Use? - 0 views

  • The Fair Use Doctrine is one of the most important limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright holder. It allows that copyright can be infringed because strict application of the law impedes the production and dissemination of works to the public. The Fair Use Doctrine was added as Section 107 of The Copyright Act of 1976 and was based on a history of judicial decisions that recognized that unauthorized infringements of copyright were "fair uses."
  • Sec. 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: 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 means 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 purposes; the nature of the copyrighted work; the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
  • Section 107 is not meant to be specific. Rather, Congress intended for fair use to be determined on a case-by-case basis.

    This is a great site with awesome definitions. Very helpful for research papers.

    The California Newspaper Publisher's Assn. has "The Right To Know: A Guide To Public Access And Media Law," published in conjunction with the California First Amendment Coalition--it was free, as I recall (big thick spiral-bound.) The masthead says "To order additional copies, contact CNPA 708 10th St., Sacramento, CA 95814 (916) 288-6000 www.cnpa.com www.cfac.org." It has been invaluable, I have even gotten help over the phone. Great organization...it would be interesting to have a list of other states' same or similar associations and publications, if they exist.

Home | Report Card for America's Infrastructure - 0 views

  •  
    The highest grade any part of America's infrastructure receives is C, "mediocre". How safe do you feel on that bridge? How 'bout those PG&E gaslines? Do you know the "state of your state"? Find out here. We spend 2.4% on infrastructure, as opposed to 9% in China. Newt Gingrich says we should be more like China, where they also have jobs (ours) developing alternative fuels and refining our steel and lumber (our resources). Our infrastructure, however, is 100% U.S.A. How freakin' pathetic is that? Does anyone know how to make water or air yet?

Veolia Water North America | Veolia Water North America - 0 views

  •  
    While watching "The Secret Life of Garbage" on BIO channel, the name Veolia was introduced and identified as a waste-removal business. I recognized the name from "Blue Gold" a documentary about the ever-increasing privatization of water--Veolia is one of the largest water-rights owners and industrial waste-water management: they pollute the ground water, clean it, then sell it back to the people whose ground-water they "own". Do you know who OWNS your drinking water? What's up with your

    Since I'm getting into this barefoot running thing, I thought moccasins would be perfect protection until I'm ready for the real thing. Being an artsy-geeky person, I thought making a pair would be fun to do, maybe add running lights.
