Faculty & Research
Research Examines Make-Take Structure in Options Markets
In a recently accepted paper in Management Science, Dr. Amber Anand, professor of finance and Haydon Family Fellow, and his co-authors, Dr. Jian Hua (Baruch College) and Tim McCormick (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), examine the make-take structure, which compensates liquidity suppliers and charges liquidity demanders, in the options markets where it competes with a traditional structure which uses payments for order flow.
In the study, titled "Make-take structure and market quality: Evidence from the U.S. options markets," the researchers use an event of the introduction of the make-take structure, to discover that execution costs (including fees) for liquidity demanders decline after the event for the affected options. They also find that the make-take structure encourages market makers to improve quoted prices; and that brokers change their routing behavior to include fees in the routing decision. The decline in execution costs is consistent with the benefits of the increased quote competition from the make-take structure prevailing over the fees the structure charges to liquidity demanders.
Research Examines Lendable Share Supply's Effect on Equity Price Formation and Returns Prediction
In a recently accepted paper in the Journal of Accounting and Economics, Dr. Craig Nichols, assistant professor of accounting, and his co-authors, Dr. Daniel Beneish (Indiana University) and Dr. Charles Lee (Stanford University), examine the role played by the supply of lendable shares in both equity price formation and returns prediction.
The researchers' results show that the supply of lendable shares is frequently binding, and the constraint is related to firms' accounting characteristics. They have three specific findings. First, controlling for expected borrowing costs and other determinants, a stock's supply of lendable shares is a function of accounting variables associated with the types of stocks short sellers target. As a result, shares are least available when they are most attractive to short sellers. Second, when the lendable supply is binding (non-binding), short-sale supply (demand) is the main predictor of future stock returns. Third, abnormal stock returns to the short-side of nine well-known market anomalies are attributable solely to "special" stocks that generally have low supply and are hard to borrow.
Research Finds Competition Fuels Motivation When Resources are Scarce
Research by Todd Moss, assistant professor of entrepreneurship, has been accepted for publication by the Academy of Management Journal. The paper, titled "Cooperation vs. Competition: Alternative Goal Structures for Motivating Groups in a Resource Scarce Environment," finds that competitive goal structures generally lead to higher levels of motivation within groups in a resource-scarce environment. Co-authors are Geoff Kistruck (York University), Robert Lount (Ohio State University), Brett Smith (Miami University) and Brian Bergman (Miami University).
Moss and his coauthors undertook a field experiment within a base-of-the-pyramid setting where resource scarcity is extremely high. Specifically, they collected data on 44 communities in rural Sri Lanka tasked with contributing a portion of their resources to the construction of a school building; 24 were assigned to a competition condition and 20 to a cooperation condition. The results, and subsequent follow-up interviews and focus groups, collectively suggest that competitive goal structures are more effective at motivating groups within a resource scarce environment. However, the results also suggest that cooperative goal structures can be highly motivating when groups are unfamiliar with one another, as cooperating with unfamiliar groups can provide access to valuable and rare knowledge within such settings.
Research Finds Market Fears Play an Important Role in Stock Return Predictability
Research by Lai Xu, assistant professor of finance, has been accepted for publication by the Journal of Financial Economics. The paper, titled "Tail Risk Premia and Return Predictability," found empirical support for the idea that market fears play an important role in understanding the predictability of stock returns. Lai and her coauthors, Tim Bollerslev (Duke University) and Viktor Todorov (Northwestern University), show that much of the predictability of future stock market returns may be attributed to the variation over time of the extra compensation that investors demand for bearing the risk of sharp changes in the price of a stock from its current price (formally, the jump tail risk). Another novel aspect of the researchers' work is their new, model-free (nonparametric) procedure for decomposing the variance risk premium.
Wiklund and Lumpkin to Receive 2015 Greif Research Impact Award
A paper co-authored by Professor of Entrepreneurship Johan Wiklund and Professor Tom Lumpkin, The Chris J. Witting Chair in Entrepreneurship, has been selected to receive the 2015 Greif Research Impact Award. Given annually by the Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at the University of Southern California, the award recognizes an entrepreneurship paper that appeared in the top-tier management and entrepreneurship journals six years ago and received the highest citations (based on the Social Sciences Citations Index) in the five years following publication.
Wiklund and Lumpkin's paper, entitled "Entrepreneurial orientation and business performance: Assessment of past research and suggestions for the future," (with Rauch, A. and Freese, M.) was published in 2009 in the Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice Journal.
The two professors will be honored during the business meeting of the entrepreneurship division at the Academy of Management meeting in Vancouver in August, 2015.
Research Finds Shareholder Participation Improves Financial Reporting Quality
In a paper recently accepted for publication in Contemporary Accounting Research, Lihong Liang, associate professor of accounting at the Martin J. Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University, found that shareholder participation improves financial reporting quality. Co-authors were William Barber (Georgetown University), Sok-Hyon Kang (George Washington University) and Zinan Zhu (National University of Singapore).
The paper, titled "External Corporate Governance and Misreporting," analyzed external governance provisions, specifically those provisions that limit direct shareholder participation in the governance process. The researchers found that fewer restrictions on shareholder participation are associated with a relatively low incidence of accounting restatements.
Research Analyzes Risk Associated with Supply Uncertainty in Agricultural Settings
In a recently accepted paper in Operations Research, Dr. Burak Kazaz, the Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professor of Teaching Excellence and associate professor of supply chain at Syracuse University's Martin J. Whitman School of Management, and his co-author, Dr. Scott Webster (Arizona State University, formerly Syracuse University), analyze the economic tradeoffs associated with uncertain supply of a perishable product, reviewing how risk aversion and the source of uncertainty – demand and/or supply – affect supply chain decisions.
Their paper, titled "Technical note – Price-setting newsvendor problems with uncertain supply and risk aversion," explores how economic decisions are affected by supply uncertainty. The researchers found that when risk aversion is incorporated into the joint price and quantity decision under uncertainty, it does not create structural problems when the source of uncertainty is demand. However, risk aversion creates significant problems when the source of uncertainty stems from supply fluctuations. The authors develop a new elasticity measure that enables scholars to solve such complex problems. Managerially, their work finds that a firm will order more and price the commodity higher when the source of uncertainty is supply. The research builds on earlier studies that demonstrated that risk-averse firms price lower and order fewer items when the source of uncertainty is demand.
Byron's Research on Female Board Representation's Effect on Firm Financial Performance to Appear in the Academy of Management Journal
Research by Kris Byron, associate professor and chair of the department of management at the Martin J. Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University, has been accepted for publication by the Academy of Management Journal. The paper, titled "Women on Boards and Firm Financial Performance: A Meta-Analysis," aggregated results from 140 studies, examining the relationship between a firm's financial performance and female board representation. The co-author was Corinne Post (Lehigh University).
They found that having women on boards of directors is positively related to accounting returns. This relationship is more positive in countries that have stronger shareholder protections, which the researchers say could be due to the fact that shareholder protections can motivate boards to use the varied experience, knowledge and values each member brings to the board.
The findings show that, in general, no relationship between female board representation and market performance exists. However, in countries with high gender equality, there was a positive relationship; in countries with low gender parity, a negative relationship. "Societal gender differences in human capital may influence investors' evaluations of the future earning potential of firms that have a higher number of female board members," according to Byron.
Kazaz et al Present First of its Kind Research on Pricing Wine Futures
In a recently accepted paper in Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, Dr. Burak Kazaz, the Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professor of Teaching Excellence and associate professor of supply chain at Syracuse University's Martin J. Whitman School of Management, and his co-authors, Dr. Tim Noparumpa (Syracuse Ph.D. '12) and Dr. Scott Webster (Arizona State University, formerly Syracuse University), examine the impact of wine tasting experts and their reviews when it comes to selling wine before it is bottled, known as "wine futures."
Their research shows how to price wine futures, as well as what proportion of the wine should be sold in advance versus through retail chains. It demonstrates that Bordeaux grand cru wineries increase their profit by approximately 10%; they estimate that small and artisanal winemakers in the U.S. can benefit from such financial markets by improving their profits by 14-15%. This work is significant as it is perceived as the first of its kind in pricing wine futures. Earlier research thoroughly examines the pricing of bottled wine but has not explored a model for pricing wine not yet bottled.
Albring's paper on how Regulation Fair Disclosure effects Financing Decisions to appear in Management Science
Research by Susan Albring, associate professor of accounting in the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University, has been accepted for publication by Management Science. The paper, titled "Does the Firm Information Environment Influence Financing Decisions? A Test Using Disclosure Regulation," finds that the quality of a firm's information environment impacts their choice between debt and equity financing within the context of Regulation Fair Disclosure (Reg FD). Co-authors are Monica Banyi (University of Virginia), Dan Dhaliwal (University of Arizona), and Raynolde Pereira (University of Missouri).
According to Susan, the goal of this work is to evaluate whether a firm's information environment impacts the choice between debt and equity financing within the context of Regulation Fair Disclosure (Reg FD), which prohibited the use of selective disclosure. The authors find that firms with high proprietary costs of public disclosure are more likely to use debt financing after Reg FD. They also evaluate changes in firm disclosure policy and find firms that adopted an expansive public disclosure policy are more likely to use equity financing. Overall, "the evidence is consistent with theory: firms with deteriorated firm information environments increase their use of less information-sensitive debt, while firms with improved information environments favor equity financing," says Albring.
Research by Professors Brandes and Dharwadkar to Appear in the Strategic Management Journal
Research by Pamela Brandes, associate professor of management, Ravi Dharwadkar, professor of management, and SangHyun Suh, PhD (Whitman, 2009), at the Martin J. Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University, has been accepted for publication by the Strategic Management Journal. The paper, titled "I Know Something You Don't Know! The Role of Linking Pin Directors in Monitoring and Incentive Alignment," found that linking pin directors, those serving simultaneously on the audit and compensation committees, play an essential role in information exchange between board committees.
Using data from S&P 1500 firms, the researchers found linking pin directors are associated with lower executive compensation and influence pay mix. In studying the dynamics behind this process, they discovered that newly created linking pins improve monitoring effectiveness whereas recently dissolved linking pins decrease it. The researchers also found that linking pins are all the more important when managers make less conservative accounting choices.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by 45 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by LilyOfTheValley Cute but slightly awkward fit I really like the look of this dress but unlike all my other FP items it fits slightly awkwardly on me. I have a size small, my usual size. I have small boobs and wide hipbones and maybe that is why it fits strangely, I don't know. I kept it nevertheless and made it work for me; I wear it with the bottom pulled up so it is really short, and with a slip underneath (Lily mini). 1.14.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by AmandaGuttman Love it! I saw this dress online and fell in love, I was a little worried after reading some reviews about it, but after receiving it in the mail, I love it! The dress is very light weight, and is made of thin material but this makes it perfect for a hot summer day on the beach! The details are very well done, and it looks great! I got the coral color and the picture online makes it look orange but its actually a salmon-pink color, its so cute! I was worried about the length because I'm 5'10, but its actually not short at all in most places. You can play with the elastic waist to adjust how it fits and where it falls on your body. I love this dress now that I have it, its very unique and will be absolutely perfect in the summer time! 12.11.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by EmilyAisha Cute Dress I love this dress. It is super adorable. I love the way it looks on me and I love the design. The only issue I have with it is that it runs kinda big. I am normally a small but I was hesitant to get an extra small. Hopefully it will shrink down to where it will fit. 11.5.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by cjmarie28 Weird Fit This dress was just weird. It has a thin material, so something has to be worn underneath which complicates the already bizarre fit of this dress. I kept trying to situate the elastic waist band in different places on my hips (above, on, below, etc.) but it never looked good. I have no idea how other people are reviewing it so highly. It was so frustrating to get it to sit right that I didn't even pay attention to the detailing. I would definitely try this on in stores if possible, especially if you find returns to be a pain. I am 5'7" 120lbs and I tried on both a small and an extra small. I couldn't even tell you which fit better, because they both looked horrible. 10.10.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ericamoth Pleasantly Surprised! I fell in love with this as soon as it popped up online. I went to my local FP boutique to try it on, and when I saw it on the hanger, I thought, "there's no way this is going to work for me." I decided to try it anyways though because I loved the design so much and I'm so glad I did. This is the most comfortable, lightweight, and somehow super flattering dress! A little pricey for what it is (as usual) but this will be a go to all summer for me - perfect for running errands, the beach, outdoor music festivals, cookouts & picnics - you name it! Ran true to size, I'm 5'4", 120 lbs, and a 32C and the small fit great! 6.6.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by agc126 cute but poor quality i ordered this in navy and it is as pictured and true to size but the fabric is very thin and one of the tassels is literally hanging on by a thread and completely uneven with the other tassel. 6.3.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by katieh Cuter Than I Expected! I was pleasantly surprised with how this dress looked on me. I tried this in a large in the white, which was quite sheer. I layered the seamless tank slip in brown underneath and my good old FP-1 ruffled layers skirt in purple. The embroidery was beautiful and the colors were amazing. As a pear shaped girl, my hips/ butt/ thigh area may not be the best place for a cinched smocked detail. However, the top was blousy enough, and the skirt was fluffy enough to make it work. Sure, it is not the most flattering dress I have ever worn, but it is cute enough to get away with. If you have narrow hips, you are in! Otherwise, try before you buy. 5.20.2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by AlexNjohns The tassels fell off I received the dress in the mail today and the tassels fell off! 5.16.2012

Update (November 7): Google Reader implemented the feature described in this post.
Bloglines has a feature that lets you automatically create a blogroll from the feeds you've subscribed to. This way, you don't have to maintain your blogroll because it's permanently in sync with your subscriptions. "On many blogs, there are lists of links to other blogs. These lists are called blogrolls. You can incorporate your Bloglines subscriptions into your blog, as a blogroll, by including a small piece of HTML that loads a script from Bloglines."
Many people want the same feature in Google Reader, but don't know it's already available, albeit not in a transparent way. Because you don't want to include in a blogroll all your subscriptions, you could share a folder (in Google Reader, a feed can be placed in multiple folders). So how to convert all the subscriptions from a folder to a nice list that can be added to a blog?
1. You need to add all the blogs you want to share to a folder. This can be easily done from the settings: select the blogs, click on "more actions" and add them to that folder (Google Reader calls it a tag, but you should ignore that).
2. To make your subscriptions visible outside your account, the folder should become public. Go to the Tags tab from the settings and click on the small broadcasting icon next to your folder. The icon should become orange and the word "private" should be replaced by "public". In the screenshot below, cool-blogs is a public folder.
3. Copy the link for "view public page". It should look like this:
Then enter the link below and click on "Build".
4. Copy the code in your blog's template. In Blogger, you could paste the code in a new HTML/JavaScript element.
I've also included an option to save the blogroll as an OPML file that can be easily imported in most feed readers.

Apple makes Find My Friends app available ahead of iOS 5 release
Big Brother is already watching, why not big sister too.
I am going to LOVE this app. :)
Can't see it on the UK AppStore yet....
BIG issue for those of us (most) who have apple id for purchases, and separate @me.com for email ect.
To use, you need to log in with your @me.com address. One logging in, it says you need to verify your email... Go to apple, go to verify email, and it has it listed, but won't let you verify, because the emails address is already in use with another account (your store purchase account).
I assumed I could just change the email on my store purchase account, but it won't let me.
I'm basically busted.
iOS 5, that finished a entrance during Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June, outlines a branch indicate for a company's mobile software. Yes, it's mostly a collection of tweaks, improvements, and fiddling with a attempted and loyal formula, though it's also one that–for a initial time–breaks iOS inclination detached from computers regulating Apple's iTunes program and goes serve to try to harmonize a inclination into a same family.
Just one more disappointment in a long list of apps that only work if all the stars are lined up perfectly. "Location Not Available" is the only response I get unless the sought device is here under the same roof!
I intended to put you the very small word just to say thank you as beofre over the amazing basics you've shared on this website. It is so incredibly generous of people like you to provide extensively all that a lot of people could have offered for an e book to help make some money for their own end, mostly seeing that you might have done it in the event you decided. Those good tips as well acted like the easy way to know that someone else have the identical fervor the same as my very own to figure out whole lot more in terms of this matter. I think there are thousands of more pleasurable moments ahead for people who scan through your blog.

Are You Ready for Some Football?
Friday, June 29, 2007
McFarlane Toys' NFL Sports Picks Series 16 is coming this fall, featuring a pair of West Coast running backs, two veteran stars with new teams, a rookie quarterback coming home and the finest cornerback of this era.
Brady Quinn - Notre Dame's quarterback phenom slipped in this Spring's draft, but ended up exactly where he wanted to - suiting up for his hometown Cleveland Browns.
Champ Bailey - The term "shutdown cornerback" only begins to describe the talents of Denver's electric defender. Gambling quarterbacks often complete more passes to Champ than to the receiver he's defending.
Frank Gore - Long known for their "West Coast" offense and a finesse passing game, Gore brings some thunder to the 49ers offense. With 1,695 rushing yards in his second year, we wonder how big his encore might be...
LaDainian Tomlinson 4 - San Diego's backfield howitzer tore up the NFL last season, and ruined thousands of fantasy leagues in the process. Tomlinson sports San Diego's updated 2007 uniform, and grabs a drink following yet another touchdown gallop.
Steve McNair - The longtime Titan is set for his second season in Baltimore, with his team positively loaded and ready for a run at the championship.
Terrell Owens 2 - Settled and healthy in Dallas, the mercurial wideout seems focused on bringing the Cowboys back to the dominance they enjoyed a decade ago.
NFL 16 is scheduled to arrive on shelves in early November.

This was the first fragrance I bought for my man (39) years ago. It is so masculine and lasting. Anyone buying this will not be disappointed, the fragrance just lingers for hours. He certainly gets heaps of comments (and of course loves the attention---what man doesn't especially from other women). As long as this is around I will keep on buying it--and hope others will too.

Always Classy and the smell changes especially over nigh it becomes soft and intricate. I have been wearing this one since the 70,'s and always get compliments. Not everyone wears this it stands out from the rest. Goes on spicy and settles into woodsy, very unique.

Fred Gutierrez has accomplished his amazing goal of walking and playing 36 holes of golf in one day.
Gutierrez has a condition known as Left Hemiplegia from a gunshot wound to his head. This condition is common among stroke patients. For 16 years he has been paralyzed on the left side of his body from the top of his head to the bottom of his foot.
Not only did Gutierrez walk all 36 holes during the For the Glory of God Golf Marathon, he also played quality golf firing a career-low round of 85 in the opening 18 holes that featured five pars and two birdies (all while news cameras were rolling). The second round was not quite as good as the first, but he pared the final hole to shoot in the low 90's as about 60 spectators welcomed him at the final green.
Six months ago Gutierrez had difficulty walking nine holes, but playing on a weekly basis he gradually built his stamina so he could walk further and further on the course. Then he received Botox injections in his limbs to help reduce his pain levels and decrease the tautness of his muscles.
Gutierrez also started to receive acupuncture treatments that he says helped him regain mobility in his limbs and quiet his mind. Gutierrez has struggled with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for nearly 30 years.
The primary goal of the For the Glory of God Golf Marathon was to give glory and praise to God for the amazing improvements in Gutierrez's life in the past few months. As a secondary goal, he wanted to generate awareness of the benefits of Botox and acupuncture for individuals suffering from partial paralysis, strokes and PTSD.
If individuals or corporations would like to donate money to support his efforts, he is asking that donations be made to Gifting Warriors (501 C3 Non Profit EIN #27-3492685). To make a donation, visit www.giftingwarriors.org.
Gifting Warriors is a charity located in Goose Creek that is dedicated to helping veterans nationwide, but especially here in the Lowcountry. The organization prides itself on maintaining very low administrative costs so that virtually all of the money goes to helping the veterans in need in our community.

Hoak and Weaver Named March Student-Athletes of Month
- Release Date:
- April 9, 2012
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Chris Hoak from the baseball team and Adam Weaver from the men's volleyball team have been named as the Hilbert College's Co-Student-Athletes of the Month for March, 2012.
Hoak (Hamburg, NY/St. Francis) started fifteen games as the Hawks short stop during the first month of the season. He led the team with 19 RBIs and tied for the top honor with 20 hits (out of his 52 appearances at the plate) (.385). Hoak covered 31 bases, earning a perfect 3 for 3 in stolen bases, on his way to scoring 11 runs for Hilbert during their 4-12 start. He was the only player to hit for a cycle, with team-leading four doubles, two triples and the only home run by March 31. Hoak also spent 5.2 innings on the mound for the Hawks. His most productive game at the plate was against Mount Aloysius when he went 2 for 3, sent one hit over the fence in centerfield and earned 5 RBIs in the team's 11-4 victory.
Weaver (Stow, OH/Archbishop Hoban) almost doubled his kills per set from one month earlier in the season, after playing in all 44 sets for the Hawks in March. The outside hitter averaged 4.09 kills per set securing 180 kills (.290) in the 13 matches played. Weaver outdistanced his team mates by 90 kills at the net. The Hawks finished the month going 3-10 with wins over Wells, Lancaster Bible and Bard College. The sophomore's most impressive hitting was against Wells College when he finished with 15 kills (.500%). Against Lancaster Bible and The Sages, Weaver earned 28 and 27 kills, respectively, hitting .469 or higher in both matches. Twice during the month, Weaver was honored as the United Volleyball Conference Player of the Week (March 5) and, for the second time this season, as the AMCC Player of the Week (March 26).

I tried this on my 17.5" goose and it fits well. Cute ghost costume; I'm looking forward to using it at Halloween. I'm not sure how the fabric would hold up outdoors, but mine is an inside goose so it doesn't matter.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

During a teacher workshop at North Aiken Elementary School Tuesday, the faculty participated in intense and engaging discussions about providing help to their students this year and beyond.
The Aiken County School District set up five full days of training to introduce the teachers to the concept of Model Schools – a national program that includes schools with a similar demographic.
For several years, North Aiken has had the highest poverty rate or nearly so in the Aiken County School District. The achievement data also led to a search for innovative programs.
Veteran educator Elisa Sanders-Pee took the principal's position in March, specifically to introduce the new concept.
"What we're doing are best practices – focusing, planning and using our data to make sure we stay on this vision," she said.
A few years ago, the School District offered some master classrooms that featured best practices for other teachers to visit. The intent at North Aiken is to create all the classrooms with that approach.
The venture can be described as promoting the "Three Rs" – not the iconic "reading, 'riting and 'rithmatic" – but "rigor, relevance and responsibility."
Sanders-Pee, district academic officer Janice Kitchings and the new assistant principal, Clyde Jobes, attended a Model Schools conference in Washington, D.C., a month ago, networking with administrators from other schools that are moving toward or already have introduced these approaches.
"North Aiken is going to build partnerships within the home and with the community," Sanders-Pee said. "But we at North Aiken understand that the responsibly for the children is at North Aiken. We have accepted that responsibility."
The facilitator this week is Alisa Braddy, a Florence-based education consultant.
"The overriding message is how can we enhance instruction in our classrooms, so that students are thinking and working. Teachers become the facilitators of that process," she said.
The Model School gives teachers a chance to provide what's best for their students in the 21st century, Braddy said. She acknowledges students from many elementary schools bring with them difficult experiences through their learning and emotional environments. As a result, they can start kindergarten already two years behind.
Yet students do have the capability of succeeding, said third-grade teacher Erin Smith. The difference through Model Schools is going to be the mindset of the teachers as they focus on effective instruction with maximum outcomes, she said.
"It's not a new way of teaching," Smith said. "Our planning model is changing with more collaboration that will be expected throughout the school. Our purpose is to prepare our students globally so they can use (that education) everywhere. Everybody here has bought into this."

Questions & Answers
Do you have questions about this product?

Q:Can I freeze this? Angels on Bare Skin is just not the same for me, Buche is my favorite product I've ever used on my face in my whole life, and I want it year-round. I would happily buy 3 or 4 every year if I could freeze them to use throughout the year! Or better yet, can you please just make this a permanent item? :)Asked on 10/15/2012 by ilovegiraffes from Denver
1 answer
A:We don't recommend freezing any of the products, as this will not extend the shelf-life, but it may eliminate some of the effectiveness of the ingredients. Unfortunately, there aren't any plans for Buche de Noel to return for the rest of the year, as it was created to be a once a year treat.Answered on 11/2/2012 by Megan from LUSH Direct
Q:Does this product expire? i absolutely love this product, but I'm super sad that y'all only offer it during the winter season. If I stock up on this product to last me at least until july or so, is it going to go bad? Just wondering! I just started using lush products and am officially obsessed with them.
THanks for your help!Asked on 1/8/2012 by Ay Hay Hay from Fort Worth, TX
1 answer
A:Since we use so many fresh and active ingredients, we can only guarantee the effectiveness of our products expiry date shown on the pot. For Bûche de Noël, it has a shelf life of approximately three months. During the rest of the year, I'd recommend trying the Angels on Bare Skin cleanser, as it is meant for similar skin needs, and is made with some of the same ingredients.Answered on 1/12/2012 by Megan from LUSH

Q:Could I use this product over makeup, to set it?Asked on 7/11/2015 by Nathaniel from Green Bay, WI
1 answer
A:This product is a toner, not a setting spray. Although you can use it over makeup to refresh, it is not meant to make your makeup last longer.Answered on 7/12/2015 by Haley from Lush Direct
Q:Is this the best toner to use to try to get rid of skin discoloration?Asked on 6/16/2015 by Lianna
2 answers
A:It doesn't do that exactly, but it definitely helps to keep your skin hydrated and fight the discoloration that accompanies dryness.Answered on 6/19/2015 by Pauline
A:I fell like it helps with the skin discoloration from being dry. I used it
sometimes 2 or 3 times a day my skin loves it!!Answered on 6/17/2015 by Anonymous
Q:I have combination skin, given that I've got the T-zone oily spots and rather normal on the cheeks. Would this be better to use rather than the tea tree water?Asked on 4/21/2014 by gabym
2 answers
A:Definetly!! It's Awsome and recommend!Answered on 5/31/2015 by Lin from Ny
A:Breath of Fresh air is great for balancing and hydrating! I think is could definitely work, as my skin sounds very similar to what you described and Breath of Fresh Air is my favorite toner. That being said, do what works best for your skin and don't be afraid to try different products until you find the perfect one for you!Answered on 4/22/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
Q:How is this used with a moisturizer and cleanser?Asked on 4/2/2014 by Drea from Silver Spring, MD
2 answers
A:Many people like to use a toner after their cleanser, to help restore moisture to the skin, and to bring things back in balance. After you've applied toner, your skin is ready for moisturizer to lock in that fabulous hydration.Answered on 4/4/2014 by Megan from LUSH Direct
A:I use the cleanser first.. Dry my face and then use a few sprays of the
toner...then follow it up with moisturizer.Answered on 4/2/2014 by Anonymous
Q:I asked an associate what would be good for my skin, which is a combination, will this dry out my skin if it is already dry in certain areas. She also told me to use Vanishing Cream, just a tad bit.Asked on 4/1/2014 by Drea from Silver Spring, MD
1 answer
A:Our toners do not contain any alcohol or drying ingredients, so I think it would definitely help keep your skin balanced in combination with a bit of Vanishing Cream. Give it a try!Answered on 4/4/2014 by Megan from LUSH Direct
Q:How long would each size last, particularly the smaller ounce version?Asked on 6/10/2013 by ettie
2 answers
A:The length of time that the toner will last really depends on how often you are using it, and how much you are spraying each time you use it. You can expect to at least get a couple of months out of the smaller size if you are using it once per day.Answered on 9/25/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I have had mine for little over a week and I use it constantly even over my make up to give my skin a little hydration when its getting dry and I haven't used alot surprisingly but now that I love this product so much I wish I would have gotten a big one. Its really wonderful and I will eventually buy a big one Im guessing this one will last me at least 2 months with the rate Im going. You on the other hand will possibly have it longer depending on how much you use. I like keeping it in the fridge as well so its really a nice pick me up when ever I need it.Answered on 6/10/2013 by Ariel the little mermaid from arizona
Q:Is this product good to use on teenage skin that it sensitive and slightly oily?Asked on 4/2/2013 by Sasha from columbia, MD
2 answers
A:Yes, definitely! The seawater will cleanse the skin while the seaweed works to add minerals back to the skin and balance oil production. It also contains both aloe vera and rose to help sooth any sensitivities.Answered on 8/20/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Yes!Answered on 4/11/2013 by Amy from Dallas, TX.
Q:Im looking for a product that will minimize my pores I use angels on bare skin as my cleanser and I was curious if this product will help my pores?Asked on 8/21/2012 by C_Love from United States
2 answers
A:To help make pores appear smaller it is important to ensure that they are free of dirt, oil, and debris. Breath of Fresh Air will definitely help to remove any impurities!Answered on 5/9/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Totally, it tightens the skin just enough without that painful stinging feeling.
I love this product with all my heart and it makes my face simply glow.
I find that Grease Lightening and Breath of Fresh Air are a great combo for minimizing pores.Answered on 9/12/2012 by Gigi from Victoria

James Cotton On World Cafe
Originally published on Thu September 26, 2013 12:30 pm
Harmonica master James Cotton is a giant of the blues. Born in 1935 on a cotton plantation in Tunica, Miss., he learned the instrument from Sonny Boy Williamson, who had a radio program right across the river in West Helena, Ark. After listening to the show and imitating him on a harmonica, Cotton met Williamson, who took him under his wing.
At 15, Cotton met and played with Howlin' Wolf, who took him to record at Sun Studios in Memphis. Later, while on tour, Muddy Waters asked Cotton to replace Junior Wells in his band; Cotton stayed on the road with Waters for a dozen years.
During the 1970s, Cotton was a staple of high-energy shows in rock arenas. Despite losing his voice after surgery for throat cancer, Cotton still performs, and has just released the largely autobiographical album Cotton Mouth Man.

Patents Pondered: Apple Poised to Free Your TV?
You're out with a friend on Wednesday night and hear that, because of the "big game", the season finale of NBC's The Office will be airing later that same night instead of the next as usual.
Panic? Try to rush home? Call your mom and beg her to record it? Hope you can download it off the torrents without getting sued into oblivion?
Nope. You just whip out your trusty iPhone, touch your way through a simple, elegant interface and -- boom! -- EDGE/Wi-Fi sync a new recording schedule back to the DVR-equipped Apple TV in your living room.
When you get home, The Office is recorded and waiting to watch on the big screen. And if you're too tired to finish watching it, you can just shift the content right back to your iPhone (or MacBook Air, or any other iTunes savvy device) and watch it on your way to work the next day.
Sounds like magic, doesn't it? Not according to one of Apple's latest patent filings...
Pick a Show. Any Show.
When asked about expanded functionality for the Apple TV, Master of prestidigitation Steven P. Jobs said the following:
The model will not extend to cable television, he insisted. "We're not going to go there with the cable cards," he said, referring to the relatively open cable industry connectors that are gradually allowing companies like TiVo to replace the standard set-top box. "That whole industry, their go-to-market strategy is pretty loopy, and it's fractured," he said. "Our model is like DVD."
Yet while dazzling reporters with the Take 2 software update, he was simultaneously pocketing a very interesting patent:
"For example, program data for upcoming programs, e.g., for the next month, can be downloaded and stored on the remote control device," Apple said. "Thereafter, a user of the remote control device can search programs that are to be broadcast and determine which programs to record. The recording settings can be programmed onto the remote control device, and then be provided to the video device when a data communication is established between the remote control device and the video device."
(Note: it would seem logical that this functionality could also be integrated directly into the iPhone or iPod touch.)
Classic Jobsian sleight-of-mouth involves knocking an industry or product model repeatedly until Apple unveils some fabulous new bit of tech to simply and elegantly revolutionize it. (The iPhone itself being a prime example).
So here again, Apple's filing also covers various TiVO-style capabilities, turing the "DVD-model" Jobs mentioned into a full-on DVR (digital video recorder) solution with a far greater reach than we've ever seen before.
Hey NBC, Watch Steve Pull The Office Out of His Hat
If you remember, we used The Office as an example in our introduction. iTunes is often credited with helping people discover The Office and making it a hit. Steve Jobs even used it to show off the iPhone's video capabilities during the universe-denting 2007 Macworld Keynote. Yet NBC pulled a hissy fit last year and yanked their content from iTunes. So, as of this writing, there's no legal way to downloaded The Office to your iPhone even if you wanted to.
Sure, if you live in the US you could turn to NBC.com or Hulu, but not with anything approaching the living room or portable experience Apple's iTunes ecosystem provides -- they're desktop browser window only for now. Even the torrents would entail searching, downloading, decompressing and assembling, transcoding -- a lot of work!
And that's the really interesting -- and perhaps leverage providing -- aspect of Apple's new patent.
iTunes exists primarily to feed content to iPods and iPhones. Apple needs that content to help sell their devices. It's easy, and (generally) priced fairly enough that purchases can become a no-brainer. Big Media (the movie studios, TV networks, and music producers), wants to charge more and is withholding content to try and hurt Apple... er... foster alternative channels. (Witness Amazon MP3 being given higher quality DRM-free content by all the major record labels.)
This patent not only allows Apple to sidestep Big Media, but to feed an almost limitless amount of cable TV (and potentially open HD) programming right into iTunes and, by extension, the iPhone.
Can Apple Make Old Media Ideas Disappear?
While the mainstream works on such innovative features as "disabling fast-forward to enhance consumer enjoyment of commercials" and "auto-deleting recorded movies after 24hrs to save your space" (we kid you not!), who knows what Apple's DVR (which is not dependent on ad revenue from the networks or the pay-per-view greed of Big Media) will let users do?
We've already seen some cable companies misuse the broadcast flags (which can be set to "copy always", "copy once", "copy never" in terms of what they allow DVRs to record) to try and sabotage competing set-top solutions like Windows Media Center. Current US Law, however, mandates cable-cards, firewire ports, an unencrypted broadcast network programming.
What if Apple allowed (or threatened to allow) an easy way for users to edit out commercials? They own the power of Final Cut and QuickTime and made the drop-dead easy Ring Tone Maker and iMovie interfaces, after all. Would commercial free TV for your iPhone be any more difficult?
What if Apple applied the same fair (as in FairPlay DRM) policies that lets up to 5 devices share content? Big Media deeply, truly believes we should be paying for each and every use, if not view, of their content (and thank them for it). Letting us record once and easily stream/sync pretty much wherever and whenever we want would be a game changer. Warm up the Apple DVR and feed directly to the iMac in the kitchen and the two iPhone you and your spouse are getting ready to take on vacation!
And what if Apple uses another little patent filing that was discovered a while back to let us combine our various recordings into our own virtual channels, ready to watch where we want, when we want, whether that be on our Apple TV, Mac, iPhone, or Nano? Who would need traditional networks then?
The Greatest Trick of All
While it may seem like magic, it's no mystery what this all means for the future of entertainment. Even the cable companies know it -- the same cable companies who own many of the internet pipes that would feed the new download era. Think it's a coincidence they started testing pay-per-GB tier rates the same week Steve Jobs introduced Apple TV Take 2?
Bottom line, however, patents like these are huge ammunition (or leverage) for Apple and we're not alone in that thinking. Analysts like American Technology Research's Shaw Wu are, as always, already counting the money:
"We believe adding the ability to watch and record live TV could turn this into a billion dollar, if not multi-billion dollar business."

Patents Pondered: Apple Poised to Free Your TV?
I've been saving some cash for a new TiVo, does this mean I should wait? I'm about to take a bat to my crappy Comcast SA 8300HD DVR. Ugh....
you know, I've been doing this for years using programs like Snapstream's BeyondTv and Frey's SageTV ... Even Windows Media Centers can have this feature. Apple is late to the game.
Methinks this be a wee bit of Idea Recycling.
I would not wait for this, since I'd assume we won't see it for at least a year. However, EyeTV on your Mac can do almost all of this now. However, you must have a Mac compatible TV tuner (SDTV, OTA or QAM channels only) and it hooked up to your Mac. You just can't control it from your living room remote unless you have your Mac attached to the TV.
I agree whole-heartedly that the aTV would be huge with these features, but if they won't let us transfer HDTV rentals off our aTV now, what will the restrictions be on an Apple DVR? I'm certain Apple could revolutionize the DVR, but the danger of angering all the studios and TV networks may be to big a threat to their iTunes business. The third party EyeTV solution will likely be superior for a couple years at least. You can already automatically convert your recordings to aTV and iPhone compatible formats, sync, and share recordings. Remote scheduling, I don't know, but there are "intelligent" program guide selections that adjust times due to schedule shifts.
I plan to put a Mac Mini in the living room when they update it and replace my Tivo. Tivo is great (vastly superior to cable company DVRs), but the monthly fee thing still sucks.
You can do DVR right now with a Mac Mini and Elgato. The DVR is only one component of this patent, which leverages what Apple does best: seamless integration wrapped up in killer UI.
It's idea recycling the same way that there were mobiles before the iPhone...
elgato and eyetv are worthless as they are limited to QAM channels. In northern VA with comcast that means you can only get your local channels in HD, everything else is encrypted. Giving up ESPN, Discovery, Food TV, TNT etc. in HD is not something I'm interested in. If it doesnt have a cablecard slot its not comin into my house. In august I should be able to get TiVo software loaded on my comcast DVR which could stop me from destroying the PoS for a year as long as it doesnt suck. If so I'll be happy to wait for an Apple DVR and the next HD TiVo to make a purchase.
Apple was "late to the game" on making a phone too and look what they've done there.
Antel0pe, far as I know you ALWAYS have the "analog" whole, where you can route the analog cable or composite out into Elgator (or any capture system). This is how Windows Media Center XP worked as well.
HD is a different ball game, and consider yourself lucky as where I live (Canada), we have no federally mandated QAM or OTA HD, and broadcasters have gamed the flags to prevent non-proprietary DVRs from recording even basic cable.
Likewise, we have no federal mandate for firewire ports or cable cards. You buy the local cable companies box or you go without.
BTW- Have you tried the Firewire -> Mac direct capture? The files are huge but the quality is excellent.
I've transfered video out of my SA 8300HD into my Mac using the firewire port on the back of the box. It works like a champ, but my aging DP 1GHz G4 can't playback HD content. I'll be pulling that out of the entertainment center and replacing it with a Mini as soon as they get updated.
I have a decent amount of HD content available to me, but in order to view / record it i need to be using a cable co supplied box or cable card. I like to keep my setup as simple as possible to cut down on failure points. Running cable into the house, splitting it, running it into a cable box, then out via component, then into a capture card, then into my mac then our via DVI/HDMI to my receiver then into my TV offers a lot of opportunity for stuff to go wrong. I'm going to give the TiVo on Comcast hardware deal a try when it's released to the masses, hopefully that will fulfill most of my needs until either a new HD TiVo is released or an Apple product emerges.
