Warm Branding Socks, Rossow
When you're asked for a Kleenex or a Q-Tip, you're going to hand out a tissue or a cotton swab. But did you know that the word Kleenex is still a legally recognized trademark of Kimberly-Clark? Same with Q-Tip, a word still legally trademarked by Unilever. Ok, maybe you recognize Kleenex and Q-Tip as specific brands, but what about Popsicle or Jet Ski or Roller Blades or DixieCup…or even Zipper? And that's just the tip of the iceberg!
While I was growing up in the 70's, it seemed like the ultimate goal of every commercial was to turn a particular product into a household name. But what happens when your brand is SO successful that your innovative product name becomes meaningless?
Now you're looking at the antithesis of brand success…
Brand Genericide: The Problem
When a particular product/brand combination so dominates the market that its brand name becomes the generic term for the item, we call it brand genericide—and it's terrible news for your brand. Instead of differentiating your business, products and/or services from the competition, now your brand is synonymous and indistinguishable from the competition, confusing consumers and dramatically lessening the power of your brand.
Talk about irony…a company spends millions of dollars to ensure ongoing brand legacy as a household name, yet, in doing so, actually devalues the brand in the long run! THEN, that company has to spend even more money defending their brand trademark. Yikes. Typically, a company will legally lose a brand trademark for two reasons: 1.) The patent expires, or 2.) The company loses a lawsuit after suing another company for using its name, thus the court deems the brand generic.
But get this: just because a legal trademark exists, that doesn't prevent the public from incorporating a common product or service name into everyday language. Seriously—just google it. (See what I did there?)
More Examples of Brand Genericide
Created by Bayer in 1897, Aspirin became wildly popular in the first decades of the 20th century. Unfortunately for Bayer, its American patent on the name expired in 1917. Other drug companies jumped at the opportunity, using the word 'aspirin' for their own branding purposes. (Photo Source: Bayer AG: Corporate History & Archives)
Escalator inventor Charles Seeberger sold the trademark name rights to the Otis Elevator Company in 1910. In an interesting development in national trademark retention law, Otis Elevator Company lost their trademark rights in 1950 in the Haughton Elevator Co. v. Seeberger decision. Why? Because Otis so often used the term 'escalator' in a generic manner in their own patents and advertising!
The yo-yo suffered a similar fate. Though invented around 1866, it wasn't until 1932 that Donald F. Duncan trademarked the term 'yo-yo.' The Duncan Yo-yo Company lost its U.S.trademark in a 1965 case, as the courts deemed the term "yo-yo" too ingrained in common speech to be a unique trademark. (Photo Source: Jason Liebig.)
Efforts in Brand Survival
When Xerox introduced the first automated copier in 1959, it wasn't long before consumers verbified the brand name, (as in, "Can you Xerox these documents for me?"). The company opted for a very aggressive ad campaign to educate the public. A 2003 ad even lamented, "When you use 'Xerox' the way you use 'aspirin,' we get a headache."
Aware that the popular adhesive bandage trademark is in danger of becoming genericized, Johnson & Johnson went as far as to change the lyrics of their television commercial jingle from "I am stuck on Band-Aids, 'cause Band-Aid's stuck on me!" to "I am stuck on Band-Aid brand, 'cause Band-Aid's stuck on me!"
Debuting in 1998 and quickly embraced as a superior search engine, 'to google' became a verb synonymous with web searching. Many experts actually say that Google has benefited from the usage, citing the fact that people actually go to Google to google. Despite this, Google is concerned with brand genericide, so the company has publicly discouraged the use of the verb.
Is Your Brand at Risk of Genericide?
The good news is only 5% of U.S.brand names risk becoming genericized. But if you're concerned about the integrity of your brand trademark, the sooner you take action, the better.
Protect your brand by…
Weigh In…
What do YOU think? Many company leaders would be ecstatic to see their brand name join the American lexicon, but the danger of brand genericide is a very real problem for many big brands.

... Nora, your article is Spot-On!!!
Warm Branding Socks, Rossow
you left out pantyhose, cellophane and (aluminum/tin) foil
Riveting article. Certainly inspires a thought or two!
Here's a couple more for your collection of brands on which genericide has been inflicted by their own widespread success:
in Brazil, "Vespa", an Italian motor-scooter brand, became generic for any motorscooter.
In the U.S.: "fedex" has become a verb (can you fedex those docs over to me?), in much the same way as Xerox and Google have.
Also, others that come to mind are champagne, cognac, and why not, "coke" or "coca-cola" (for any kind of cola beverages).
The phenomenon of genericide seems to me (although I know zilch about marketing, I am a translator by profession) something like when a famous painting, or a book, goes into public domain. That's that, it doesn't mean that the value of the product, or the piece of art is diminished, but it has gone into the mainstream and the authors or their heirs cannot do a thing about it. The people have made them, so to speak, their very own.
Wow - great food for thought - thank you!!
Regarding "coca-cola" when I waitressed for Friendly's we had to say "we serve Friendly cola" if they asked for "coke" or "coca-cola". If they only asked for "cola" it was ok, that's the generic part of the name but "coke" is owned and there were legal implications if we didn't distinguish -- mystery customers from corporate would report us if we didn't get it right.
of course customers would insist there's no difference and we could explain it was the cola-syrup but Friendly's brand to which they'd snap back -- "does it bite"?
@Lauren Swann: Haha! See what I mean? It's the users every time who define when a brand becomes lexicalized, if you'll allow me the linguistic term (i.e., when it becomes a part of the common language).
Down here where I live (Montevideo, Uruguay - the southern cone of South America for those of you who are not overly familiar with the geography of these parts) "una coca" (a coke) has become a synonym for any cola drink. The table attendant will maybe specify "we serve Pepsi", for instance, and the customer will say, "that's all right".
@Nélida Kreer: It isn't just an Uruguay thing...the South (the southeastern most US states) are notorious for calling any caramel colored soda a "Coke." So it probably is more of a world issue for Coca-Cola.
@Everyone: Thank you to everyone for all the responses today. I am sure there are many more brands that are in fear of Brand Genericide and already been a victim. Keep coming up with more and maybe we can come up with a complete consolidated list. :)
So, I'm launching a new brand and would love some feedback. I have known about brand generalization, which this article describes very well, for some time now. But, what about pluralization?
My Brand: Footmarks
For marketing, I want to add to the definition of what a footmark is: Currently, it is "a footprint" per dictionary.com.
My Addition: foot·mark - a reference to a digital resource that was saved from the physical world and stored in the cloud.
So, my brand is Footmarks and if the general public uses "footmark (not plural)" as an action or something they do, would this be considered generalization?
I think this applies to very large brands. If you told an entrepreneur with less than $1M in revenue that someday people will use their brand as a common-place term... they would be thrilled. I would.
Don't get me wrong - I think your article is valid... but I also think it would be a great problem (or measure of wild success) to have for an entrepreneur!
@Jason Spanos: You are right...this does apply to very large brands. If you are an entrepreneur with less than $1M in revenue and you aren't dreaming that your business isn't going to be a household name from the start, your not dreaming big enough. As business owners, it is our responsibility to know about these things now so we can make the necessary decisions from the start of our business idea.
And some people just don't know or think about these kinds of issues until it is too late. And yes, it is a "good" problem to have from one point of view...but when you are experiencing it, I would say from that point of view you are thinking about how much time, effort, money and sweat you have put into a company name/brand just to have it become lexicon and ANY good or bad brand can use it an benefit from it? Sounds pretty pointless.
How about "Brand Prison" when a brand becomes so looked on for 0ne thing that people do not accept or trust change. Example: McDonalds the name of a fast food company and a noun for bad eating, do people trust them when they say they are going healthy? or how much are they spending to try and change peoples minds.?
Or actors and musicians personal/creative brand getting pigeoned into one type of role.
Point: Branding is a fast way of getting your name and service known just be sure it is an open brand that can grow.
RE: "Brand Prison" there is a PR theory that any publicity, good or "bad" increases brand awareness (perhaps the xtra-strength Tylenol scare of the '80s is a good case-study in such a theory, including their crisis management and aftermath)
McDs never attempted to establish itself as a place chock full of healthy foods, they wanted to be associated with quick, easy, fun, convenient and most importantly - the quarter pounder and fries you get in Maine, you can count on it tasting the same as the one in Wyoming.
They added salads and have experimented with McLean Deluxe, etc to have offerings in that category eg -- kids get the fun meal and mom can still get a salad.
but all QSR and kids food marketing is getting so hammered amidst the obesity crisis they are trying to show some corp/social responsibility too
Still, if they stopped selling salads they'd probably keep selling burgers and fries. but if they stopped selling burgers and fries and only offered their healthier items I suspect the sales differential would likely be far more significant ...
for Preston Reed (and all) I would like to share what i am learning talking with Internet startup company mentors here in Vancouver B.C..
Own your brand! Search Engine Optimization.
Okay people are now using your word as a verb, let them it is a compliment to your creativity and an opportunity for social medial relationship building as well as getting a higher rating on Google.
What makes it unique to you are: The story of how it came to be, the lessons of what it can do for others and any related copyrighted grahics and print.
From these search for the most popular related keywords to use in all your postings and advertising so when people do "Google" the word your name comes out on top.
Also get as many other people to testify that you are the originator of that word in that use offering that benefit.
Great food for thought, Nora! Love the terms "brand genericide" and comments on "brand prison"... though most of us Bizniks are probably not in danger of such things. (Actually, I'm guessing one value of "small" is the ability to re-invent yourself.)
Hadn't heard that Google doesn't approve of us saying we're "googling". Though it seems that if you're using Bing or chrome, you're "searching"... right? I think it's done google only good so far...

The Crew Soccer Academy U-16 and U-18 squads were idle once again this week ahead of the U.S. Soccer Developmental Academy Winter Showcase in Sarasota, Florida next weekend. Similarly, the U-16, U-17 and U-18 Crew Juniors Gold girls squads will head to Raleigh, North Carolina for the CASL Women's Showcase Soccer Series.
Ben Swanson, CSA Wolves product Ahinga Selemani and the U.S. U-17 Men's National Team have a busy week ahead. The Stars and Stripes host Brazil on Wednesday, Turkey on Friday and Portugal on Sunday for the 2012 edition of the Nike International Friendlies in Lakewood Ranch, Florida.
On the college stage, CSA product Eric Erb excelled on the field and in the classroom during his senior season at Case Western Reserve University. The Worthington native registered four goals and two assists to go with his 3.96 grade point average as a nutritional biochemistry and chemistry double-major to earn Capital One Academic All- District VII First Team and Second-Team All-UAA honors this season. On Tuesday, Erb added to his accolades by earning a spot on the Capital One Academic All-American team.
Erb was an instrumental player on the U-19 and U-20 teams that won the national championships in 2010 for Crew Juniors. He played on the U-17 team that won the Ohio South State Cup. Coached by Billy Thompson for a number of years, Thompson said this of Erb: "Eric always had a great work rate and a fantastic attitude. He gave 100% every time he stepped in the field – committed to getting better every day."
The NCAA Division I Tournament held its Sweet Sixteen round on Sunday while the Division III tourney was idle in preparation for next weekend's Final Four. Here are how the remaining Crew Youth alumni performed in the Sweet Sixteen:
No. 5 AKRON -- Chad Barson, Wil Trapp (Assist), Eric Stevenson, Tommy Schmitt, Andrew Souders, Alex Ranalli (DNP), Andrian MacAdams (DNP): 1-1 (5-4) L vs. Creighton in NCAA Sweet Sixteen
No. 10 LOUISVILLE -- Alex Obbey (Assist): 2-1 W vs. Northwestern in NCAA Sweet Sixteen
No. 1 NOTRE DAME -- Connor Klekota (DNP): 2-1 L vs. Indiana in NCAA Sweet Sixteen
No. 3 GEORGETOWN -- David Witkoff (DNP): 1-0 (4-2) W vs.Syracuse in NCAA Sweet Sixteen
MESSIAH (DIII) -- Luke Helmuth, Jack Thompson and Logan Thompson: November 30 vs. Loras in Final Four
OHIO NORTHERN (DIII) -- Ryan Sabol and Austin Windsor: November 30 vs. Williams in Final Four
MESSIAH WOMEN (DIII) -- Mackenzie Clapper: November 30 vs. Misericordia in Final Four

Crew games, International friendlies, sell-out concerts, OHSAA FInals -- Crew Stadium has hosted it all, but Friday will mark the first-ever NCAA Division I football game in the "House that Lamar Built" when Bowling Green squares off against Mid-American Conference rival Buffalo.
Hosting college football has long been a goal for the stadium operations staff.
"On the operations side, we've been trying for a few years to get a MAC game and it's very exciting to bring this level of football to Crew Stadium for the first time," Crew Stadium Senior Director of Stadium Business Development Ryan Smith said. "It's definitely going to be an exciting game. I think the matchup is exciting, and it will be very good for our stadium to expand on on the diverse style of events that we host. This is just an extension of the diverse calendar we try to bring to Crew Stadium."
With a 7-4 record, a win on Friday over Buffalo would further Bowling Green's chances of a bowl bid. Kickoff is slated for 2:00 p.m. ET.
NBC4's Monica Day visited the Crew's training ground in Obetz recently to find out how the Black & Gold are raising awareness for men's health issues through the Movember campaign. The package was featured on the station's morning show on Tuesday.
For more information, visit the Crew's Movember page.
The Crew Soccer Academy U-16 and U-18 squads were idle this week. After 12 matches, the U-16s sit in fifth place in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Central Conference Mid-America Division with 18 points. The CSA Wolves lead the division on 31 points. In the U-18 age group, CSA is in eighth place on the table with 16 points and the CSA Wolves are in sixth place with 20 points.
The Pre-Academy 16s & 18s and the Gold 16s, 17s, 18s Boys teams started their seasons at the CASL College Showcase in Raleigh, North Carolina this past weekend. This is one of the top events and College Showcases in the country with over 300 college coaches attending. The event was a great start to the season and a success overall for the teams providing good competition, college recruiting exposure and professional expectations.
Ben Swanson, CSA Wolves product Ahinga Selemani, Carter Richardson and the U.S. U-17 Men's National Team will host Brazil, Turkey, and Portugal November 28 - December 4 in Florida. The friendlies take place during U.S. Soccer Development Academy Winter Showcase, which CSA will be attending.

The Crew family welcomed its newest addition on Monday at 11:43 a.m. with the birth of Hudson Richard Ansley, the son of TheCrew.com Editor T.J. Ansley and his wife Kelly. Little Hudson weighed-in at 5 lbs., 15 oz. and measured at 19.25 inches long. Mom and baby are doing well, while T.J. claimed to be hungry.
Hudson has already been given plenty of Crew-related gear, including this custom "Hudson Street Ansley" onesie in case he decides to join the Hudson Street Hooligans in his future.

After electrifying the Crew attack with nine goals and four assists in the second half of the 2012 season, striker Jairo Arrieta is happy to be in Costa Rica camp once again. Arrieta hopes he can impress Costa Rican head coach Jorge Luis Pinto to earn another call-up for the upcoming CONCAF Hexagonal round of 2014 World Cup Qualifying. The 28-year-old forward spoke to the Costa Rican media on Sunday ahead of La Sele's friendly against Bolivia on Wednesday (translated):
"You have to take advantage of the opportunities, the effort and work I put in with the Columbus Crew has been rewarded with a call-up. I have to work hard, just like I am used to with my team... So I will try to take advantage of the opportunity to earn a spot and be here for the [World Cup] qualifier. If I get to play in Bolivia, I hope to score and do well to remain in the National Team Player Pool."
The Ticos kickoff against Bolivia at 7:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday from the Estadio Hernando Stiles in Santa Cruz.
The Crew Soccer Academy made the 16-hour trek to Minnesota over the weekend to face the Minnesota Thunder and Shattuck St. Mary's. Both the U-16 and U-18 squads prevailed over the Thunder. The U-18s set the tone on Saturday with a 3-1 win following goals from Nicolas Russo, Daniel Allen and Andrew McKelvey. The U-16 side followed suit, beating the Thunder 3-2 behind goals from Silankonet Bayo, George Braima and William Bayemi.
On Sunday, the Academy wasn't as fortunate as both teams fell to Shattuck St. Mary's. A brace from Noah Hutchins and another goal from Georges Daoud weren't enough as the U-16 squad lost a 4-3 heartbreaker. The 18s were shutout in a 3-0 defeat.
U.S. Soccer announced its plans for the 10th anniversary of the Nike International Friendlies last week. Ben Swanson, Carter Richardson and the U.S. U-17 Men's National Team will host Brazil, Turkey, and Portugal November 28 - December 4 in Florida. The friendlies take place during U.S. Soccer Development Academy Winter Showcase, which CSA will be attending.
The regular season in college soccer wrapped-up last week, followed by Monday's NCAA Tournament selection. Here is how a few Crew Youth alumni fared in their conference championships and where they will be playing in the tournament:
Akron Zips (17-1-2) This Week: 2-0 W vs. Bowling Green, 2-0 W vs. Northern Illinois -- WON MAC CHAMPIONSHIP
The top-ranked Zips set a new NCAA record by extending their conference unbeaten run to 47 matches while also securing Akron's ninth MAC Championship over the weekend. On Friday, CSA product Wil Trapp opened the scoring against in-state rival Bowling Green with a strike from distance. Less than two minutes later, fellow Crew Youth alum Thomas Schmitt tallied to put the Zips up 2-0 over the Falcons. In the MAC Championship game against Northern Illinois on Sunday, Eric Stevenson helped set-up Saad Abdul-Salaam's opening goal while Chad Barson and Andrew Souders anchored the back line to its 16th shutout of the season. The Zips recieved the fifth overall seed in Monday's NCAA tournament drawing and will face the winner of Niagara and Michigan on Sunday at 4:30 p.m.
Xavier Musketeers (13-2-5) This Week: 1-1 (3-2 PK) W vs. Dayton, 1-0 L vs. Saint Louis
Matt Walker supplied the lone goal in the Musketeers' 1-1 penalty shootout win against Dayton in their first match of the Atlantic-10 Tournament before Xavier was knocked out of the tourney by Saint Louis on Friday. Additionally, CSA product Nick Hagglund was named A-10 Defensive Player of the Year. Xavier kicks off NCAA Tournament play against Kentucky on Thursday and will play Indiana on Sunday if they advance.
Boston College Golden Eagles (8-5-5) This Week: 0-0 (3-1) L at Clemson
Holding Clemson scoreless for 120 minutes on Tuesday wasn't enough for senior goalkeeper Justin Luthy and the 24th-ranked Golden Eagles as Boston College was ousted from the ACC Tournament. Luthy and the Golden Eagles face crosstown rival Northeastern on Thursday and will play UConn if they win.
UCLA Bruins (13-2-3) This Week: 2-1 W vs. San Diego State WON PAC-12 CHAMPIONSHIP
Matt Wiet helped the Bruins claim their fourth PAC-12 title in five years with Friday's 2-1 victory against San Diego State. The PAC-12 Champions received the sixth-overall seed and will play the winner of San Diego vs. Cal State Northridge on Sunday.
Other Crew Youth alumni playing in the tournament include:
Eric Osswald -- South Florida (vs. Florida Gulf Coast - Thursday, 7:00 p.m.)
Alex Obbey -- Louisville (vs. SMU/Winthrop - Sunday, 7:00 p.m.)
Andy Lubahn -- Wake Forest (vs. Elon/Coastal Carolina - Sunday, 5:00 p.m.)
Connor Klekota -- Notre Dame (vs. Cleveland St./Michigan St. - Sunday, 7:00 p.m.)
David Witkoff -- Georgetown (vs. UAB/Charlotte - Sunday 1:00 p.m.)
Luke Helmuth, Jack Thompson and Logan Thompson -- Messiah (DIII) – Sweet 16
Ryan Sabol and Austin Windsor -- Ohio Northern (DIII) – Sweet 16
Mackenzie Clapper -- Messiah (DIII Women)
The 2012 OHSAA State Finals kick off Friday at Crew Stadium when Ontario faces Middletown Bishop Fenwick in the Division III Girls' Final at noon, followed by the Division II Final between Cuyahoga Falls Walsh Jesuit and then Columbus St. Francis De Sales. Perrysburg vs. Mason at 7:00 p.m. in the Girls' Division I State Final will round out Friday's action.
On Saturday, the boys finalists will take the field. Gates Mills Hawken squares off against Cincinnati Summit Country Day at noon in the Division III Final. Crew forward Ben Speas' alma mater Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy will look to win its fourth State Championship at 3:30 p.m. as it takes on Dayton Carroll in the Division II Final. Sylvania Southview against Powell Olentangy Liberty closes out the action in the Division I Final at 7:00 p.m.
Before winning back-to-back NCAA Championships at Indiana, two Supporters Shields and an MLS Cup with the Crew, Danny O'Rourke captained Worthington Kilbourne to the 2000 Divsion I state title at Crew Stadium. O'Rourke can relate to the excitement each of the players are going through ahead this weekend's action.
"To this day, I still remember the build-up to that game and being really excited," the midfielder explained. "Not only just to play in the State Final, but where it was held and being in the locker room, stepping on the field and holding up the trophy at the end."
Admission to this weekend's matches is $8 per game. The stadium will not be emptied after each game and re-entry will not be permitted. Parking for the event is set at $5.
When Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy toppled Bay Village Bay 3-0 Wednesday night in the OHSAA DII Boys' Soccer State Semifinal, CVCA alum and Crew forward Ben Speas took to Twitter to express his excitement to see the Royals clinch a berth in the Final on Saturday at Crew Stadium.
Congrats to @cvcasoccer on making it to the back State Final at the @columbuscrew Stadium! See ya when you get down here #ISI
— Ben Speas (@BenSpeas18) November 8, 2012
Speas, a 2009 graduate and member of CVCA's 2007 DII State Champion squad, is looking forward to gathering with fellow alumni to cheer on the Royals in their quest for a fourth state championship.
"It's a great program," Speas said Thursday. "I loved my time there. I'm going to be there supporting them for sure.There will be a lot of alumni there. A ton of my friends and everyone will be there. It's really exciting. Hopefully, we'll get our fourth state championship."
CVCA squares off against Dayton Carroll at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon as part of a tripleheader of all three divisons of boys' State Finals. On Friday, Crew Stadium will host all three girls' State Final matches.

Larranaga Signs Extension Through 2011-12 Season
April 26, 2006
George Mason University athletics director Tom O'Connor is pleased to announce that men's basketball head coach Jim Larranaga has signed a contract extension that will keep him at the University through the 2011-12 season.
This past season, Larranaga lead the Patriots to the best season in school history by any measure. The Patriots made their first-ever trip to the NCAA Final Four, and the first by any Colonial Athletic Association school. Mason set a school record with 27 wins, tied a CAA record with 15 CAA regular-season wins, and finished the season ranked eighth in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll. That's the highest-ever ranking for Mason and for any CAA school. The Patriots also downed a pair of top-10 teams, No. 10 North Carolina and No. 2 Connecticut. Mason's win over UConn matched the highest-ranked team any CAA school has defeated.
"I am very excited and proud of our accomplishments this season and over the past eight years," said Larranaga. "This year's run to the Final Four was a culmination of a lot of hard work by many people, especially my staff and our players. However, it could not have been achieved without the great support of our George Mason administration. This contract extension is a clear indication of their support. This past season was not an end, but it is the beginning of more great things to come. Our returning players have already begun to prepare for next season and are confident they can create more great memories for our Mason Nation."
Larranaga is Mason's all-time winningest coach with a record of 166-105. His winning percentage of .613 is also a school record (minimum 50 games). This past season, Larranaga became the CAA's all-time winningest coach, passing former Richmond coach Dick Tarrant. Larranaga is currently 112-58 in CAA games (regular season and tournament). He has led the Patriots to 10 or more CAA wins in each of the past eight years and Mason has had a winning record in each of its past eight seasons. Mason is one of just nine schools in the country to have won 10 or more conference games each of the past eight years. The Patriots have won at least 16 games each of those years and 19 or more games in five of those eight seasons. Mason has also made five trips to the postseason in the past eight campaigns.
"For the past nine years, Jim Larranaga has embodied everything a school could want in its men's basketball coach," said George Mason Director of Athletics Tom O'Connor. "Over the final six weeks of this season, those traits and characteristics were on display for the entire nation to see. We couldn't be more thrilled that he was an ambassador for our University on that stage and that he will continue to be a prominent member of the University's athletics department for the next six years."
Next year will be the 10th season for Larranaga as George Mason head coach, tying him with John Linn for most seasons as a Patriot head coach. Linn coached the Patriots from 1970-1980, taking the team from NAIA to NCAA Division I. Larranaga has overseen an equally difficult transition, as Mason went from a school that had eight straight losing seasons to its current run of success.

Science "can no longer allow us to doubt that man, with all he has and possesses, be it mental or corporeal, is a natural product like all other organic beings."
~ Ludwig Büchner, 1855
It is becoming fashionable again in psychology to say that the study of self-control and self-regulation is relevant to the question of free will. It is assumed that since self-control and self-regulation occur, there must be some freedom in the will. In other words, it is assumed that self-control implies free will. From this it follows that if research can find out how humans control themselves, it can find out how the will is free (not whether it is free; that is already assumed to be true). I do not tire to point out that this type of reasoning is question begging. No outcome of a study on self-control can address the question of whether the will is free. The assumption that it is free is derived illogically. Even if we can agree that "If the will is free, people will engage in self-control," we cannot infer that "If people engage in self-control, the will is free." There are other, e.g., deterministic, ways in which systems self-regulate. Individual animals, colonies of animals, and natural systems like the climate do it all the time. Your own body regulates its temperature without freely choosing to.

How Albani cut up the words of Qadhi Iyaad to "prove" his claim
This is a discussion on How Albani cut up the words of Qadhi Iyaad to "prove" his claim within the Islam in General forums, part of the Main Topics category; Originally Posted by greenshirt because i do not know enough about it to comment on it. but, i am sure ...
- 2nd June 2008 #21

I remember this topic from sunniforum, it was made by Abul Hasan, may Allah guide him.
Here is the reply to it:
1_ Albani rahimahu Allah was talking about putting the hands over the chest, and when he quoted al-Qadi 'Iyad he said " Similar is the saying of Qaadi 'Iyaad al-Maaliki", so he was mentioning the quote of al-Qadi related to this specific point.
2_ from Al-Qadi 'Iyads quote, it is obvious that he did approve putting them on the chest, and also mentioned the navel part.
3_Albani rahimahu Allah did not say that al-Qadi didn't support putting the hands upon or near the navel, he only quoted the part about the chest because that is what he was talking about.
he is just using the opinion of AL-Qadi Iyad rahimahu Allah on putting the hands on the chest to show that he also supports this opinion... He did not use Al-Qadi's saying against the opinion of putting the hands at the navel.
4_ If Albani said that Al-Qadi only confirmed putting the hands on the chest or that he confirmed it while al-Qadi didn't, then at that moment you can say he manipulated.
So there is no manipulation there.
Learn to verify before accepting an accusation against someone especially people of knowledge, because it could be a slander and the scholar is innocent.

BaarakAllaahu fiki Umm adbullah, there is no need to have such harsh words against shaykh al albaani (ra) just because he had different views than some of us.
Wa àlaykum assalaam.
- 2nd June 2008 #24
It is disgusting to see how little respect certain people have for dead scholars.
- 2nd June 2008 #25
The poster said "The Head of the self styled "Salafi" Hadith "scholars" in this age", so he must not think him to be a actual scholar."Sheikh said..." - Wrong path
"Allaah, Rasool said..." - Right path
Don't base your Deen on the popularity of a scholar
- 2nd June 2008 #26
But still, people should show respect for the shaykh regardless of whether they agree with him or not.
This is the same people who cry when someone even questions their 'ulama.
- 2nd June 2008 #27
Abul Hasan and co do not consider him a scholar.
may Allah have mercy on shaikh Albani and grant him al firdous.
- 2nd June 2008 #28
well who cares, who consider whom as scholar. allah is the one who will judge us.
And people should show respect to those who are dead allready.
and sister qurah, before u write something use to recite salawat upon prophet mohammad(sw) and then write. because as long as u r a student u will feel provokate by many things but u need to calm down and then answer. what r u doing is nothing new to come in a web and find something against ur thinking style. so try to calm down ur anger.

Start by marking the dowel locations on the board. Use a combination square to mark straight lines across the board at the height the dowels will be. Mark the lines about 2" away from either edge. Use an angle finder to determine the proper angle for the dowels. The angle should slope downward enough that balls won't fall off easily.
Using the angle finder as a guide, drill holes at each mark. Start by drilling straight into the board, then angling the drill to match the angle finder.
Use a hacksaw to cut enough dowels to fill the holes. The dowels should be 8" or 9" long. Sand off any rough edges. Put some wood glue on one end of each dowel, and set the dowels in place in the holes.
Use a hacksaw to cut a groove in a 2" by 6" by 2" block of wood. The groove should be slightly shallower than the thickness of the lip on the mudding tray.
Drill two holes in the block, about 1" from either edge. Loosely secure the block to the rack so the grooved side faces down. Fit the lip of the mudding tray under the groove, and continue tightening the block to clamp the tray in place.

So my baby boy will be 3 months ( 12 weeks) on the 18th. Lastnight, he slept all through he night. Went to bed and alseep by 9pm, slept all night till around 6am, i fed him and he went back to sleep from 6:20am, to about 8:30 when i eventually had to wake him up to feed him so i can go to work ( first day back today, and baby boy came with me to work )... I only worked one hour and went home at 10am. My son, cried the whole way home and i knew he would be tired becaues 10am is usualy when he takes his nap. He slept from around 10:30am to 2:30 in the afternoon, Was awake from 2:30 to about maybe 3:30 or 4:00pm, Went back to sleep during our feeding session, woke up around 6:30, fed him again, fell asleep again and now its 7:30pm. We usually have bath time at 7pm and get ready for bed and are asleep by 8 or 9pm.
This is ALOT of sleep for him. He is usualy awake alot more during the day. He hasnt been this sleepy since he was a new born and i had to wake him up every 2 hours to feed him ( as per doctors orders).
He usualy doesnt even sleep this much during a growth spurt.
I know that he has been teething, but no fever, and i had a cold the past 2 days, but i dont see any obvious symptoms of him being sick other than a few sneezes a day.( thought it might be allergies?)
Does anyone else have any advise or have gone through this around the 12 week mark? I'm a bit concerned that maybe he doesnt feel well and is trying to sleep it off or im not sure whats going on.

Chrysler Sales Rise 14 Pct On Demand For Pickups
Customers likely found good deals on 2012 models last month, especially for leases and pickup trucks. Chrysler is offering $4,289 in discounts on the Ram 1500, Edmunds said. Also, Honda raised its incentives 27 percent in August from July to an average of $1,666 per vehicle.
Buyers also were drawn out by exciting new models such as the midsize Nissan Altima and the Dodge Dart compact, Schuster said. Chrysler sold more than 3,000 Darts in its first full month on the market. The Dart is the company's first competitive compact car in more than a decade.
Low interest rates also were pulling people in. A 48-month new-car loan averaged 2.98 percent last week, according to Bankrate.com. And automakers were offering no-interest loans on some models.
Honda and Toyota once again are expected to lead the way in sales increases. Last year at this time their dealers had few models to sell because a March earthquake in Japan hobbled their factories. This year they're back to full supplies.Sales started the year strong, backed off a little in May, but came back during the summer. Schuster expects to end the year at 14.3 million, more than 1.5 million above last year. Sales hit a recent high of 17 million in 2005. The bottomed at a 30-year low of 10.4 million during the recession in 2009.

Of all the passions of mankind, the love of novelty most rules the mind. In search of this, from realm to realm we roam. Our fleets come loaded with every folly home.Shelby Foote
Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.Martin Luther King Jr
Legislation has been and is still directed towards the protection of wealth, rather than towards the far more important interests of labor on which everything of value to mankind depends.Leland Stanford

The foolish race of mankind are swarming below in the night; they shriek and rage and quarrel -- and all of them are right.Heinrich Heine
History proves that all dictatorships, all authoritarian forms of government are transient. Only democratic systems are not transient. Whatever the shortcomings, mankind has not devised anything superior.Vladimir Putin
Mankind is not likely to salvage civilization unless he can evolve a system of good and evil which is independent of heaven and hell.George Orwell
So far has Athens left the rest of mankind behind in thought and expression that her pupils have become the teachers of the world, and she has made the name of Hellas distinctive no longer of race but of intellect, and the title of Hellene a badge of education rather than of common descent.Isocrates
It is a maxim among these lawyers, that whatever hath been done before, may legally be done again: and therefore they take special care to record all the decisions formerly made against common justice and the general reason of mankind.Jonathan Swift
The general tendency of things throughout the world is to render mediocrity the ascendant power among mankind.John Stuart Mill

As records of courts and justice are admissible, it can easily be proved that powerful and malevolent magicians once existed and were a scourge to mankind. The evidence (including confession) upon which certain women were convicted of witchcraft and executed was without a flaw; it is still unimpeachable. The judges' decisions based on it were sound in logic and in law. Nothing in any existing court was ever more thoroughly proved than the charges of witchcraft and sorcery for which so many suffered death. If there were no witches, human testimony and human reason are alike destitute of value.Ambrose Bierce
It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament, would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind.Albert Einstein
If you were to destroy the belief in immortality in mankind, not only love but every living force on which the continuation of all life in the world depended, would dry up at once.Fyodor Dostoevsky

All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.Arabian Proverb
The measure of a man�s humanity is the extent and intensity of his love for mankind.Ashley Montagu
Theological religion is the source of all imaginable follies and disturbances; it is the parent of fanaticism and civil discord; it is the enemy of mankind.Voltaire
Until mankind can extend the circle of his compassion to include all living things, he will never, himself, know peace.Albert Schweitzer
If people destroy something replaceable made by mankind, they are called vandals; if they destroy something irreplaceable made by God, they are called developers.Joseph Wood Krutch
Mankind are governed more by their feelings than by reason.Samuel Adams
There is no short and easy road, no magic cure for those ills which have afflicted mankind from the dawn of history.Frank B. Kellogg

Baker v. State of Colorado, The et al
Filing 39
ORDER denying 25 Motion for Default Judgment, by Judge Philip A. Brimmer on 1/5/2012.(jjpsl, )
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Judge Philip A. Brimmer Civil Action No. 11-cv-02578-PAB-KLM REV. BRANDON BAKER, Plaintiff, v. THE STATE OF COLORADO and A.G. JOHN SUTHERS, Defendants. ORDER This matter comes before the Court on the Motion for Default Judgment [Docket No. 25] filed by plaintiff on December 13, 2011. Interpreting this document liberally, as I am required to do because of plaintiff's pro se status, see Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520 (1972); Hall v. Bellmon, 935 F.2d 1106, 1110 & n.3 (10th Cir. 1991), I construe it as a motion for entry of default and default judgment. In order to obtain a judgment by default, a party must follow the two-step process described in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55: first, he or she must seek an entry of default from the Clerk of the Court under Rule 55(a); second, after default has been entered by the Clerk, the party must seek default judgment according to the strictures of Rule 55(b). Williams v. Smithson, No. 95-7019, 1995 WL 365988 at *1 (10th Cir. June 20, 1995) (unpublished table opinion) (citing Meehan v. Snow, 652 F.2d 274, 276 (2nd Cir. 1981)); Nasious v. Nu-Way Real Estate, No. 07-cv-01177-REB-MEH, 2008 WL 659667, at *1 (D. Colo. Mar. 6, 2008). Failure to successfully complete the first step of obtaining an entry of default necessarily precludes the granting of default judgment in step two. See Williams, 1995 WL 365988 at *1; Nasious, 2008 WL 659667, at *1. In the present case, pursuant to the power granted in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a), the Clerk of the Court interpreted plaintiff's filing as a request for entry of default, but denied the request [Docket No. 28] due to the filing of responsive pleading by defendants [Docket No. 23]. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a) ("When a party against whom a judgment for affirmative relief is sought has failed to plead or otherwise defend, and that failure is shown by affidavit or otherwise, the clerk must enter the party's default."). Because plaintiff failed to obtain an entry of default under Rule 55(a) at step one, he may not obtain a default judgment at step two. Therefore, it is ORDERED that plaintiff's motion for default judgment [Docket No. 25] is DENIED. DATED January 5, 2012. BY THE COURT: s/Philip A. Brimmer PHILIP A. BRIMMER United States District Judge 2

Kristen North is a working mom. She spends most of her day around books and wants her children to do the same.
"It's an inexpensive way to get them off the computers and electronic devices," she said.
During summer, it is hard to keep children off the internet—especially on rainy days. In a growing social media world, there is more to worry about than too much computer time—it's what's on the other side of the screen.
"Your 8-year-old or 12-year-old could be chit chatting with a 45, 50 year old," said Captain Antonio Gonzalez with the Houston County Sheriff's Office.
More children are falling victim to cyber predators. Last month, Daleville police arrested James Brown for child solicitation. He allegedly arranged a meeting with a minor at a taco bell. His bait: social media.
"The age of technology is a dangerous place for people that aren't constantly watching and our kids are very trusting," explained Gonzalez.
Local police have a team, specifically for these cases, called ICAC—Internet Crimes Against Children. They work with law enforcement agencies across the state to catch predators committing these crimes. Ultimately, it is up to the parents to keep their children safe.
"You hear the old adage that they have the right to their privacy and their own social life. Yes they do, but it's the parent's responsibility for the safeguarding of their children," said Gonzalez.
Monitoring your child's internet activity is the surest way to steer clear of cyber crime. North said it sometimes caused friction in her house, but better safe than sorry.
"My daughter gets aggravated with me. She has a tablet and I constantly check it," she said.
She uses technology as an incentive for her children to dive into more books.
One in seven children in the United States received a sexual solicitation online. There are outlets to help parents tackle this issue. For more information click on the link below or contact your local law enforcement.

Dover Listens groups hash out ways to improve schools
Wednesday, February 5, 2014
DOVER — During an information cafe at Dover High School Tuesday night close to 60 people discussed topics derived from Dover Listens' kickoff event Jan. 30.
Nationwide, one in five minors have a form of mental illness that would qualify them for treatment. At the middle and high school, one in four students could be diagnosed with some level of depression. This number is comparable with the rest of Strafford County, Putnam said.
Terlemezian said 11.3 percent of students at Dover High School reported attempting suicide in the 10th grade. Out of those attempts, 6 percent actually injured themselves.
Group members asked questions about how many students sought help for these feelings. Terlemezian said it is hard to know based upon the YRBS test because those sorts of questions are not asked. Surveys presented to students in years the YRBS is not administered may be able to help with some of those concerns, he said.
Group member Margie Buckingham, a substitute nurse in the school system, said there are behavioral specialists in the district to help address some of these issues, but at some of the schools there are barely enough resources to tackle the kinds of problems being discussed.
During the second group rotation, seven teachers were at the special education table. There, facilitators Christine Boston, the district's student services director and Alyson Genovese, a co-founder of Dover Family School Alliance, told the teachers there are 567 Dover students enrolled in special education. The district educates another 66 special education students from Barrington and Nottingham at the high school level.
At the same time, the district is pushing students who can participate in the classroom to do so as much as possible, Boston said.
The teachers said special education case managers and teachers have case loads that are too large.
"Special education doesn't have enough support in our schools," first-grade teacher Monica Dube said. "There are just not enough bodies to serve the needs we have."
The teachers also discussed how Common Core standards affect grading on report cards and what that might mean for students in special education. Many of them expressed concern that even though a student may be showing significant improvement in a subject area, it may not be reflected under a different grading criteria.
This series on education in Dover will wrap up on Saturday morning with an action forum at the middle school. The event will take place from 9 to 12 p.m. and is open to the public, even if they have not attended the first two community conversations.
