Vestal Hills Elementary
not actually SPEL-related, but worth pointing out that the closest school to BU, Vestal Hills Elementary, is a Blue Ribbon School, and, yes, they have Hot Faced Sandwiches
so suck on that African Rd, Glenwood, Clayton Ave, and the other one.

fair use
did classes start yet?
here is some leftover summer news about Fair Use, from a Federal District Court in Georgia:
"At the same time, however, the judge imposed a strict limit of 10 percent on the volume of a book that may be covered by fair use (a proportion that would cover much, but by no means all, of what was in e-reserves at Georgia State, and probably at many other colleges). And the judge ruled that publishers may have more claims against college and university e-reserves if the publishers offer convenient, reasonably priced systems for getting permission (at a price) to use book excerpts online."
