Dude, creative commons is still copyright law. There's a few points covered but the LEGAL rules for creative commons remains
1. Giving credit where credit is due
2. Must not be used to advertise for a company
Fox broke both golden rules regarding creative commons. Get real.
How many boner pill ads did CNN show while this guy was being paraded around the news room? This isn't even civilized behavior. Humanity is cruel.
This is someone who currently has nothing, might even have mental disease, and the only attention he's got in the last 6 months (it looks like) is a free pair of boots, a butt load of publicity and still has no food, shelter, water or any sense of security. His comment isn't an actual demand for people to pony up, except that people seem to want to look at him and make fun of him. Is he not a circus attraction for the news programs? Are you not entertained? We're constantly being told we need to vote with our dollars. If speech is money than what this man did was become part of a speech about his condition. If that's not worth anything in this world it's just proof capitalism doesn't exist, and that socialism is the only justifiable economy if you respect human dignity.
I'm still confused by the specifics of the case and how this is even being entertained. An artist made a piece of art for the city, using the city's money, and people go past it taking pictures of it because it's not only on a public sidewalk but an artistic interactive landmark.
What reason does anyone have to seek his permission before showing it to people who may never visit Seattle? What possible reason does the state have in enforcing such draconian laws? I think if this other artist made, or was attempting to make, money off the work without any modifications it would be a different story, but I guess I'm just not seeing the harm in combining your work with others to make something better, which is exactly like what Jack did here.
Jack lives in a time without the internet, and worries that the public art he created on a public sidewalk may be distributed to people who...he didn't authorize their consumption. What worse? The law is on his side.

Nashville, Tenn. – Tennessee State men's basketball coach Travis Williams has announced the signing of four additional student-athletes to join the Tigers next season.
Ugo Mmonu (Decatur, Ga.), Kennedy Eubanks (Clemson, S.C.), Jaleel Queary (Nashville) and Jaylen Reid (Rockhill, S.C.) join previously inked Jamontae Davis (Nashville), Jamonte Graham (Nashville), and Rhyan Townes (Memphis) to round out the 2013 recruiting class.
"The goal was to keep elevating the program in every aspect imaginable, and we did that by adding the versatility, talent and skill sets these guys bring to the program," Williams said. "They all come from very successful programs where they have won and were key contributors to their teams. They have achieved great academic accomplishments in the classroom and I am looking forward to them establishing a great relationship with the coaching staff, university, community, alumni, fans, and the city of Nashville. We feel that they can add to an already strong nucleus of returning players."
A 6-7, 200-pound forward, Mmonu will join the TSU team this fall after a senior year at Greenforest Christian Academy. During his senior year, Mmonu helped GCA win the Georgia State Championship in the Class A Private division while seeing playing time at every position but center. He was also named to Atlanta Journal Constitution All-Metro Team, GA Sportswriters Team, and All-State team after averaging 12 points, six rebounds and three assists per contest. His accolades got him looks from Auburn, Cincinnati, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech and Mississippi State, but signed with the Tigers. Mmonu also excelled in the classroom where he held a 3.5 GPA.
"Ugo is a proven winner and very multi-talented. He can play multiple positions, either at the forward or guard, and his athleticism fits our style of play. He can shoot the three, put it on the floor and finish at the basket. His best basketball days are ahead of him." Williams said.
Eubanks is a 6-6 wing player who will come to TSU after playing at Jacksonville College in Texas and being selected by JucoJunction as a top 150 player. Last season, he averaged 11 points and 5.8 rebounds per contest in leading the Jaguars to a 22-9 record. While attending Pendleton High School in S.C., he was an All-Region and All-State selection and was runner-up in the state's North-South All-Star Tournament Slam Dunk Contest. He also competed on the track and field team while in high school, taking part in the long, high and triple jump events. Eubanks sported a strong 3.0 GPA at Jacksonville College and will major in Business while at TSU.
"Eubanks will be very versatile for us with his ability to play numerous positions and fit our style of play, especially considering how we attack in transition on offense and how we play defense," Williams said. "He has good size and athleticism and is very capable of putting the ball on floor, attacking the rim, and shooting from three. He comes from one of the toughest junior college leagues in the country, can play a number of positions, and his experience, leadership, motor, and enthusiasm on the defensive end can really help us."
Queary is another former JUCO player who will join the Tigers next season after attending junior college at Lawson State in Birmingham, Ala. where he averaged 7.3 points, 3.2 assists and 4.6 rebounds for the Cougars. Coming to TSU will be a homecoming of sorts for Queary as he starred at Maplewood High School in Nashville for four seasons. He was a Tennessee Top 50 player according to Max Preps coming out of high school and was named the District 10-AA MVP and Class AA Metro MVP following his senior season. Queary stands 6-2 and will play combo guard for the Tigers this upcoming year.
"I've always admired Jaleel since his days at Maplewood High School and we are really excited to bring him back home to keep our program moving forward," Williams said. "He is a very athletic, strong, tough, and physical guard who is capable of creating his own shots, or attacking the rim. He can also make plays for himself and his teammates. He plays with a high motor, loves playing defense and rebounds well from the guard position which fits the bill of what we are doing here defensively."
A 6-7,185-pound forward, Reid hails from Rock Hill High School where he garnered a three-star rating by ESPN. He earned the ranking by helping head coach Eric Rollins and the Bearcats to a 16-6 record while averaging 16 points, nine rebounds, three steals and two assists per contest. He was an All-Area, All-Region and All-State selection as a senior and represented his school in the North Carolina – South Carolina All-Star Game. He had received offers from High Point, Kent State, Austin Peay, Southeast Missouri State, Miami (Ohio), Jacksonville and Winthrop, but chose to sign with TSU. Reid plans to choose a major in either business or political science this fall.
"Reid is versatile, has a tremendous upside, an unbelievable work ethic and passion for the game. He is a very talented young man with the ability to shoot the three, score off of the dribble, and attack the basket in half court or transition. His ability to rebound and play defense are also pluses," Williams said.
The TSU coaching staff will have a little over five months to teach the system to the incoming players before the Tigers tip-off next season in year two under Williams.

Observers of fashion have watched hemlines rise and fall for decades. And when hemlines aren't news, attention often shifts to an eye-catching bust. But as fall fashions begin arriving in stores this month, be on the lookout for remarkable sleeves. Designers have not focused on sleeves with such intensity since Helmut Lang cut them extra-skinny in the early '90s and Consuela Castiglioni reacted a decade later with an extra-loose fit for Marni. But the most important designers showing in Paris in February shifted attention from breasts and legs to wings. Women's arms—yes, arms—are the new body part of choice.
Nicolas Ghesquiere, designing for Balenciaga, cut barely-there sleeves that revealed the shoulder. At Lanvin, Albert Elbaz made ballooning sleeves from yards and yards of silk ribbon. Alexander McQueen made gargantuan, romantic sleeves. Marc Jacobs' collection for Louis Vuitton took the overbuilt shoulder of the early '80s and deflated it. Stephano Pilati at Yves Saint Laurent offered leotard-tight sleeves under Robin Hood-style tabards. Jun Takahashi made free-flying sleeves slashed to the wrist, and Junya Watanabe did away with sleeves altogether: His cocoon dresses bound the arms to the body.
Why the sudden obsession? Some observers hold that all changes in fashion are ultimately about sex. Historian James Laver once famously argued that designers respond primarily to the shifting erogenous zones in the Freudian recesses of men's minds, raising skirts to keep up with their fantasies. It's a plausible explanation for changing hemlines, but it's hard to see how the theory applies to the cloth women cover their arms with.
Others contend that fashion trends correspond to the economy: In the 1920s, when hemlines rose to the midcalf, analysts pegged the show of legs to exuberance about the booming economy and have seen shorts skirts as a positive indicator ever since. Unfortunately for economic forecasters, the advent of extravagant sleeves has not really indicated overstuffed coffers since the Renaissance.
Whatever sleeves represent to the casual observer, they represent something else to the designer: virtuosity. Setting a sleeve—dressmaker parlance for sewing the sleeve to the armhole—vies for position as the zenith of the craft with the hand-done pleating of a plissé dress. Some designers, most notably the late Yves Saint Laurent, even built their reputations, in part, on their definitive sleeves. To say a designer has executed a "Saint Laurent sleeve"—shoulders raised and broadened, stopping just this side of exaggeration; armhole shaped through the back to allow for movement and the perfect drop of the sleeve to the wrist—remains one of the ultimate compliments in dressmaking.
The sleeve as we know it has been around for more than 600 years. The armhole is an invention of the Late Middle Ages, when men's and women's clothing first became distinct and tailoring and dressmaking were born. Previously, everyone in the West—man, woman, king, gruel carrier—wore essentially the same tunic, which was made of two pieces of cloth cut in a T-shape, the loose sleeves and body all-in-one. Once dressmakers learned to control the armhole at the joint, they could cut closer to the torso as well, and the fitted bodice appeared.
Freed from the tunic, dressmakers began to experiment. In late-15th-century court dress, sleeves screamed wealth: They became outrageously long, sometimes trailing precious fabric and fur trim behind the wearer like a train. Such vulgarity was condemned by the clergy as ungodly. During the Renaissance, when skirts became fixed over cone-shaped petticoats and could only be decorated, sleeves became a spectacle, elaborately cut with heraldic-looking slashes. In the 18th century, when heaving, corseted bosoms and voluminous, Watteau-back gowns became sexually alluring, sleeves became short and simple to balance the grand silhouette, maintaining a lady's dignity with a sweet ruffle of lace above her elbow. Today, the Fairchild Dictionary of Fashion defines 32 varieties of sleeve, with "rhumba" and "kimono" among the most familiar, and "bagpipe" and "imbecile" among the most obscure.
Why, then, did designers take up sleeves this season? Valerie Steele, the director of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, quickly dismisses the sex theory. "Heterosexual men always like the same things on a woman: breasts, hips, legs," says Steele. "There is no evidence that men who like breasts get tired of breasts. I think it's total bunk to look at this as shifting erogenous zones." Steele suggests that the reason designers played with sleeves is, in fact, about the economy—or, at least, the marketplace: In this era of fast fashion, when budget companies like Zara reproduce runway looks within weeks of the shows, complicated sleeves are hard to knock off. (It's one thing to get a factory in Whereverstan to churn out a simple trapeze dress; it's another to make a good copy of Elbaz's ribbon sleeves on the cheap.) Essentially, Steele says, designers are attempting to distinguish themselves by presenting consumers with feats of dressmaking. It's true that designers may simply have grown tired of skirts, which they've been toying with for several seasons. But the profusion of sleeves may, at heart, be a defensive move.
I think Steele is right, for the most part. But there's still an element of courtship here. Fashion's first seduction takes place in the dressing room, when clients go to shop. That's where the virtuoso work of a designer who is likely miles away first takes hold of a woman with a credit card in hand. Which is why the surfeit of sleeves is good news for retailers. In front of a hundred department store mirrors this summer, women will fall in love with clothes they hope to fall in love in. Paris has delivered the card up its sleeve.

How to succeed in medical school
I'm sure that many of my readers are wondering how they can be successful once they enter medical school. I thought I'd take the time to tell you some of the habits I picked up which will guarantee your getting AOA and landing the residency of your dreams.
The first step is to hoard all of the information for yourself, and make sure that none of it lands in the hands of your classmates. Common examples include creating an outline for all of the month's lectures and then refusing to send it to the rest of the class; finding a website that is helpful in clarifying concepts and then neglecting to tell anyone about it; learning that someone else's patient has had a change in status and then forgetting to tell your classmate so that he'll be embarrassed on rounds the next day. These techniques may sound rude at first, but remember that your goal is to get your top pick for residency. And remember that all of your class to your competitors.
The second step is to take on extra patients. The higher the patient load, the more the residents and attendings will notice your hard work and will reward you for it. If all of the other medical students are assigned two patients, then you should get a third. You should readily and willingly take additional patients, even if it means pre-rounding on one of your classmates'. Don't worry, you'll do a better job of taking care of that person then the other third-years will anyway. That patient is now in better hands.
Finally, you should make sure that you are always visible, even when the resident has already told you to leave twice. When your classmates all agreed to go home after the afternoons lecture, you should very loudly state that you agree with them and that you will promptly leave campus once class is over. The moment everyone else is gone, you should immediately return to the hospital and ask the resident if there is anything else you can do. When the chief inquires as to why you were the only student who has returned, be sure to give some passive-aggressive answer such as, "I don't know. I just sort of assumed that they got tired of being here."
Don't worry about what your classmates say about you. You'll encounter many people who are jealous of your success. You might even hear sounds of "click click boom," but you should ignore these. Remember, you're the one who's getting to go to the residency of your choice. Everyone else is going to end up in primary care out in the middle of nowhere.
Since you're a reader of this website, you can print out these tips and keep them in the pocket of your whitecoat. Don't share it with anyone, ever. In fact, don't ever tell anyone that you've been to this website. Your competition will learn the secrets and may even employ them against you. You need to stay ahead of the game.
Good luck,
Half M.D.
(Half M.D.: I wanted to post this on April 1. However, I will be out of town then and am forced to write it now. It's a joke. Please don't e-mail me asking if I've tried any of these methods.)

Oh man, I've been doing it all wrong.
Brooke said,
Hilarious!!! Funny thing is….I have classmates that take this advice to heart! Thanks for making my day!
Dubious Premed said,
Thinking this was actual advice, you had me worked up for a minute >.>
Moe said,
I'm starting med school in the fall and will dominate using your tactics. I'm gonna sabatoge people by studying my ass off, being 100% ready and then holding massive review sessions that confuse the fuck out of everyone. Yes, I will dominate.
don't feel like it said,
thank you for giving us a tip…that would leave classmates weeping while reaching to top by sweeping yeah
wael said,
lol, thats a good advice… but the problem is the guys who do that are the guys who reach the top, through kissing ass and screwing over classmates.
Natalie said,
Wow, I really hope that no one reading this will take the advice to heart. I think the residents and doctors can easily catch on to you if you behave this way, and begin to see you as nothing more than a selfish and aggressive egomaniac. Oh, and you get the added bonus of the hate of your classmates.
Overall, the advice is about creating not only a hell for everyone, but your personal one as well.
bris o'toole said,
OMG this is exactly what some of my firm of students already do. wankers.
Pikki said,
I think that these tips are ridiculous..
-you should take on an extra patient because you honestly feel like it.
being a doctor is about being compassionate for others not about beating other people and reaching the top..
-i hope that no one follows these tips.. if you do then you really should not be in med school and you are obviously missing the real point in becoming a doctor..
Someone said,
Deep down, your life has no meaning. Any good potential and working doctor knows that what you just said is a bunch of BULL.
Jerry Seinfeld said,
You think this is irony? This is precisely my experience of medical school so far. The worst of it is the consultants LOVE watching the students tripping their colleagues up in public. Thanks for being honest!

I think it is always right to hide certain things from people to suceed and to avoid problems.

To be a medical doctor, u must have have burning desire full of compasion to save life and not to humiliate others. Remember medicine is a calling like pastoring work, so be careful.
r1tsug1 said,
Wow! That's exactly true. Never hope for kindness in MedSchool. The choose is you become bad or someone will make it for you. I choose one…

There's a guy in a suit who appears at the end of each Grand Prix, much like the G-Man in the video game Half-Life, and hands the drivers various items before the podium ceremony. Long-time Jalopnik Formula One correspondent Natalie Polgar loves him for his cool. —Ed.
The race is over. Hot girls, effortlessly strenghtening the stereotype of pretty women who can't comprehend a minute of the race, clap gleefully for the top three. In my private hell, I will surely be forced to watch nothing but them forever and ever.
And suddenly, out of blue, there he is, my savior, a comforting figure. My FACS checks mostly fail on him, but who cares. I'm sure he's watched the race, he is interested and he cares about these people. His professional routine is simple: promo items, towel, water, some words, no chat, no fake smile. A man who truly respects them and who can create, for a few peaceful moments, space for some honest post-race comments and emotions.
Soon, the racers will have to be able to answer mostly dull, repetitive questions in a diplomatic way, standing in the corrupt sands of commerce. But for a few moments, with the help of a shadowy figure, they can just react and be normal. I have to admit these are my most enjoyable post-race moments.
Natalie Polgar grew up watching Formula One with her grandfather and has developed an incredible, subtle eye for motor racing. My posts about Formula One over the years would have been far inferior without her keen observations and her frame-by-frame analyses of passing moves, racing lines and team tactics. She's also put together all of our race galleries in 2011. Thank you so much. – P. Orosz

Good morning.
Stocks are in line to start right where they left off, meandering in a holiday-week haze around the flat line.
U.S. markets tend to push higher in the days surrounding Thanksgiving, and the consolidation we're seeing after Monday's big surge should go a long way in soothing jitters.
So, judging from the lackluster premarket action, don't expect any huge swings today. Though here are a few things that could change that. Let's take a look around.
Key market gauges: Futures on the Dow /quotes/zigman/8750714 DJZ2 and the S&P /quotes/zigman/3102232 SPZ2 are barely budging, while Europe is logging muted gains. Read: Eurogroup to meet again after no pact on Greek aid.
Asia bucked the global malaise with the Hang Seng /quotes/zigman/2622475 HK:HSI and Shanghai /quotes/zigman/1859015 CN:000001 indexes up more than 1% each to lead the way, though they pulled back from their peaks. Read: Asia stocks come off highs on Greece worries.
The economy: Weekly jobless claims will hit at 8:30 a.m. Eastern with analysts looking for a drop to 410,000 from 439,000. Consumer sentiment, seen falling to 83.5 from a preliminary reading of 84.9, is due later in the day. Also on tap: the November Flash Markit PMI and October leading index.
The buzz: Salesforce.com /quotes/zigman/338061 /quotes/nls/crm CRM has drawn a cyber-following during its index-trouncing run in recent years, and it's back in the spotlight again after the software giant reported a wider loss last night. Still, analysts girded for worse, and the stock is poised to pop at the open. More on the earnings.
Olam /quotes/zigman/530697 /quotes/nls/olmiy OLMIY has held its position as one of the most buzzed-about stocks around. Shares rebounded from a Monday beatdown with a 19% surge on Tuesday. Watch for more volatility in the days to come as short-seller Muddy Waters and the agribusiness company's PR machine go at it. Read the latest.
Farm-equipment giant Deere /quotes/zigman/224269 /quotes/nls/de DE posted its quarterly results in the predawn hours, and investors didn't like it. The stock is off more than 1% before the opening bell. Read: Why Deere leapt into Buffett's headlights.
Also, keep an eye out for early declines from both Zale /quotes/zigman/131594 /quotes/nls/zlc ZLC and Tilly's /quotes/zigman/9857682 /quotes/nls/tlys TLYS following their reports after the market close on Tuesday.

Tender Corporation / Adventure Medical Kits FAQ's
Why Tender Corporation Products?
Thanksgiving: November 22th and 23rd
Christmas: December 24th and 25th
New Years: January 1st
Why should I use insect repellent?
When should I use mosquito repellent?
I am concerned about ticks they are pretty gross all on their own but some carry Lyme disease. What precautions should I take? Which repellent do you recommend?
You should also follow these recommendations:
- Wear long pants, long sleeves, and long socks to keep ticks off your skin.
- Light-colored clothing will help you spot ticks more easily.
- Tucking pant legs into socks or boots and tucking shirts into pants help keep ticks on the outside of clothing.
- If you'll be outside for an extended period of time, tape the area where your pants and socks meet to prevent ticks from crawling under your clothes.
- Ask your local health department and park or extension service about tick infested areas to avoid. (CDC / EPA)
Can insect repellents be used by pregnant or nursing women?
Can I use an insect repellent and a product containing sunscreen at the same time? What are the recommendations for combination sunscreen/insect repellent products?
How should I apply repellent? What precautions should I take?
- Read the entire label before using a repellent. Even if you have used it before, read the label again and follow all instructions on the label.
- Follow use directions carefully, use only the amount directed, at the time and under the conditions specified, and for the purpose listed. For example, if you need a tick repellent, make sure that the product label lists this use. If ticks are not listed, the product may not be formulated for that use.
- Store pesticides out of the reach of children, in a locked utility cabinet or garden shed.
- Apply repellents only to exposed skin and/or clothing (as directed on the product label). Do not use under clothing.
- Never use repellents over cuts, wounds, or irritated skin.
- Do not apply to eyes and mouth, and apply sparingly around ears. When using sprays do not spray directly onto face; spray on hands first and then apply to face.
- Do not allow children to handle the products, and do not apply directly to a child's hands. When using on children, apply to your own hands and then put it on the child.
- Do not spray in enclosed areas. Avoid breathing a repellent spray, and do not use it near food.
- Use just enough repellent to cover exposed skin and/or clothing. Heavy application and saturation is generally unnecessary for effectiveness; if biting insects do not respond to a thin film of repellent, then apply a bit more.
- After returning indoors, wash treated skin with soap and water or bathe. This is particularly important when repellents are used repeatedly in a day or on consecutive days. Also, wash treated clothing before wearing it again. If you suspect that you or your child are reacting to an insect repellent, discontinue use, wash treated skin, and then call your local poison control center. If/when you go to a doctor, take the repellent with you.

My kit seems to be missing some of the items on its contents list. What should I do?
How much time do I have before the medication/topical antiseptic and ointments in my kit expire?
For a full list of refill items please visit the Refills and More section of our website here: www.adventuremedicalkits.com/refills-more.html
For customers purchasing medical kits outside the US: Why doesn't my medical kit include all of the items listed on the kit contents list on the US website and certain kit packaging?
Certain other products that do not require a license may have a different set of regulations on one side of the border or the other, which makes the products improper to import or export. Our Canadian employees and our US employees are trained to comply with the regulations and find ways to meet the customers' needs, and therefore we value feedback for further product development.
Which states prohibit the sale of certain medical kits containing syringes?
What additional medications are recommended to be added to my kit?
Can medical kits be taken onto an airplane?
Do you sell empty medical kit bags?
When using a bivvy or blanket which side is meant to face inwards and which side is meant to face outwards?
Is the SOL Rescue Flash Mirror mil spec or mil spec style?
Are the bivvies meant to be used as a stand-alone shelter or along with a sleeping bag?
What variables affect the bivvies' temperature ratings?
Here's some feedback on temperature rating for the Escape Bivvy from Kyle Peter, a professional adventure racer and one of our sponsored athletes:
"Keep in mind that the Escape Bivvy is a shelter, not an insulating sleeping bag. That being said, I've slept in the Escape Bivvy comfortably in 45F and it typically can lower the temperature rating of a sleeping bag by 15F degrees when used together."
How do I clean my bivvy/blanket?
How water resistant are the Escape and Escape Lite bivvies?
Escape Bivvy= 1,900 mm
Escape Lite Bivvy= 900 mm
Here is some information to gauge those numbers:
- The fabric is considered waterproof if greater than or equal to 1,000 mm. Less than 1,000 mm is considered water resistant.
- The reason for the differing test results between the Escape and Escape Lite is due to the weight of fabric used for each bivvy. The Escape fabric has a weight of 60 gsm and the Escape Lite fabric has a weight of 43 gsm.
- The reason for why we are unable to describe the Escape bivvy as "water-proof" comes down to the technique used to secure the seams of the bivvy.
Any plans to build an oversized or 2-person Escape Bivvy?
Why does my Emergency Bivvy have holes in the bottom corners?
What is the visible range of the Rescue Flash Signal Mirror?
- At 10 miles, light from the mirror literally lit up the cockpit of the plane and was highly visible.
- At 30 miles, flashing light from the mirror could still clearly be seen from the cockpit of the plane.
Does Tender Corporation test any of its products on animals?
Are Adventure Bath Wipes biodegradable?
Is it safe to flush Adventure Bath Wipes down the toilet?

Ben's® Tick & Insect Repellent Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Ben's® Tick & Insect Repellent last?
Why does Ben's® 30 Tick & Insect Repellent use water instead of alcohol as most other DEET insect repellents do?
Alcohol also creates a strong aroma providing the traditional "insect repellent" smell. The water-based Ben's® 30 Tick & Insect Repellent formula does not have a scent that is as strong as some alcohol based repellents.
What is the difference between Ben's® 30 Tick & Insect Repellent and Ben's® 100 Tick & Insect Repellent?
Ben's® 100 Tick & Insect Repellent contains 98 percent DEET, the highest concentration -- and therefore one of the longest lasting DEET formulas available from any manufacturer. It is recommended for use in areas of heavy insect infestation and studies show that it will provide up to 10 hours of protection against biting insects and ticks.
Will a higher percentage of DEET give me better protection?
Will DEET based repellents damage nylon materials?
How many sprays are in a 4 oz. bottle of Ben's® 30 Tick & Insect Repellent in a 1.25 oz bottle?
When does my Ben's® Tick & Insect Repellent product expire?
My can of bug repellent is not spraying properly. What can I do?
Natrapel® 12 hour Frequently Asked Questions
I just learned about Natrapel® 12 hour - is it new?
How long does Natrapel® 12 hour last?
I don't like the idea of DEET as a chemical, but I use it because I don't know of anything more effective. I would prefer to use an all natural product but I want to know it works as well or better than DEET.
Is Natrapel® 12 hour safe for infants or children under 2?
Is Natrapel® 12 hour safe to use on dogs?
The active ingredient in Natrapel® 12 hour is Picaridin. The EPA has approved this ingredient for use as a personal insect repellent. In studies using laboratory animals, Picaridin technically is of relatively low acute toxicity (describes the adverse effects resulting from a single exposure to a substance). Toxicity Category III (slightly toxic) for acute oral and acute dermal; and Toxicity Category IV (practically non-toxic) for primary eye and skin irritation.
Is Natrapel® 12 hour safe to use when pregnant?
We recommend that you contact your physician with questions.
When does my Natrapel® 12 hour product expire?
My can of bug repellent is not spraying properly. What can I do?
After Burn® & After Cuts & Scrapes® Frequently Asked Questions
What makes After Burn® gel different from other aloe gels on the market?
How is After Cuts & Scrapes® different than other first aid treatments?
How is After Cuts & Scrapes® used?
How can I find a local dealer?
How can I be sure I'm purchasing from an authorized dealer?

New Mexico State University's endowed dairy chair has been renamed in honor of Dairy Commissioner Chairman Lewis Topliff, a longtime dairy general manager with NMSU.
A reception announcing the Topliff Dairy Chair took place in Gerald Thomas Hall on the NMSU campus. It was open to family and friends, including five of Topliff's seven children. Lowell Catlett, Dean of the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences, presented the honor, giving Topliff a plaque in his name.
"Lewis was always 'Mr. Dairy,'" Catlett said. "He has had a role helping the College of ACES in many, many ways."
Topliff served as the dairy general manager with the university for 20 years, establishing dairy as a focal point for the agriculture industry.
Prior to shutting down more than 30 years ago, NMSU's self-supporting dairy, equipped with its own glass bottles, produced milk, ice cream and cottage cheese.
Dairy remains the number one industry economically in New Mexico.
"Hopefully, we can get more courses and increase the activity for our young leaders (4-H and FFA)," Topliff said.
Since Robert Hagevoort, an Extension dairy specialist, became the recipient of the endowed dairy chair in 2011, he has remained active with the dairies throughout New Mexico, extending training for students across the state.
"He does a great showcase of the mission's three purposes, which are to provide information, technology and science," said Jon Boren, associate dean and director of NMSU's Cooperative Extension Service. "Dr. Hagevoort works closely with dairy producers. What he does overlaps in education and research for the university."
A second reception will take place during the Joint Stockmen's Convention in Albuquerque on Dec. 5 at the Albuquerque Marriott Pyramid. The reception will begin at 1:30 p.m.
For more information, contact the director of development for the College of ACES, Terra V. Winter at email@example.com

January 28, 2010
By Hilary Rehder
Learn by doing. It is such a common suggestion that it could be considered cliché. When a thought like this one is repeated often, it is usually because there is truth in it. And it is not surprising that this phrase is routinely used to describe the experience provided by many field-study programs, which are now so prominent in academia. As the term implies, participating students work "out in the field," practicing their skills and applying their knowledge in the real world.
UCLA Anderson's Applied Management Research Program (AMR), the capstone of the school's Full-Time MBA Program, is a stellar example of just such a program. Sara Tucker, now director of the Coaching and Team Skills Program, was director of AMR for five years. During that time and since, experiential education has become even more strongly recommended, including making it more central to the entire MBA curriculum. She has seen firsthand what the effects are for the students involved in AMR and views it as having the potential to be "truly transformative" for them.
"In AMR, students sharpen their understanding of the theories they have learned in the classroom," said Tucker. "The real world is obviously a more unpredictable environment with much less control, and it has more serious consequences. Using their newly acquired knowledge and skills to find solutions for their client companies adds nuances and details to students' understanding that can be acquired in no other way."
Now celebrating its 40th anniversary, AMR continues to challenge students to excel with this practical application, strengthening their management acumen in the business arena. Since its inception in 1969, AMR has brought together student teams with executives from both local and global organizations. For two academic quarters during their second year, full-time MBA candidates devote a minimum of 10 hours per week consulting for their assigned companies, trying to solve their actual problems in real time. At the end of their project, students complete their experience with a written analysis, which is reviewed and graded by a faculty committee.
The idea for the AMR program began when the faculty-at-large decided that the MBA program needed to be improved. A designated faculty team redesigned the program and included action learning and the field project as one of its critical components. Anthony P. Raia, professor emeritus of human resources & organizational behavior, was a member of the founding faculty. He also continued to serve as a faculty advisor in AMR for many years after that, witnessing from the beginning what he considers to be a revolutionary impact on Anderson students' abilities, as well as real results for the numerous companies they helped along the way.
"With our new program, we were light years ahead of other business schools in terms of field-study projects," said Raia. "The faculty wanted to expand the core learning curriculum with the new hands-on component. In the process, we went from a traditional MBA program with a thesis and units earned towards graduation to a two-year section-type program."
During its 40-year history, the AMR program has had partnerships with participating organizations from across the business spectrum and around the world, including nonprofits, microfinance institutions and start-ups, as well as some from among the Fortune 500. Recent examples include Sony International Pictures, Trader Joe's, Mattel, Starbucks, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, BCBG, Safeway, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Fox Sports International, Princess Cruises, 20th Century Fox, Grameen, Hyundai and Disney, among many others.
"Through the oldest comprehensive field-study program in the nation, AMR student teams have been strategic business advisors, providing innovative solutions for over 3,000 client companies," said George Abe, lecturer and faculty director of the AMR program. "Our partners over the past four decades have offered excellent consulting experiences for our students. In turn, the students have assisted companies in a wide variety of ways, including expanding their customer base, improving their products, creating strategic plans and exploring new sources of revenue."
AMR's primary goal of immersing students in live problem solving can be satisfied with different situations in a wide variety of kinds of organizations. While many students choose companies from AMR's pre-qualified list, a few students look within their own personal experience to find appropriate projects. For example, a family-run company, T & T Supermarket, is the largest chain of Asian supermarkets in Canada, which also happens to be owned by the parents of Tina Lee (MBA '09), one of the team members on T & T's project. The focus was to examine whether T & T would ultimately benefit from launching a customer loyalty program, and if so, how they should execute it. (By the way, T & T was recently purchased for $225 million by Loblaw Company Limited.)
"Working with my teammates, we were able to build links between academia and industry, consultants and client, and Western and Chinese cultures, which was critical to making our project a success," said Lee. "These are skills I will surely take with me and use over and over again as I continue my career. Acquiring them made the great learning experience I had through AMR a very important part of my life at Anderson."
Richard Ho (MBA '09), one of Lee's teammates on the T & T project, added, "Our AMR work made us delve deeper into topics we studied throughout our MBA course, such as strategy, operations, marketing, financial modeling and IT development. We put together a diverse team of individuals with each of us serving as a subject matter expert for a particular topic area. This was truly the culmination for our business school experience, encompassing the fundamental principles we learned. It was an opportunity to put all our new MBA skills to work in a single coordinated effort."
The UCLA Anderson AMR program will continue its tradition as one of the longest running and most rewarding educational experiences undertaken by the school's students. It is one of the hallmark elements that helps set UCLA Anderson graduates apart from those of other top-tier business schools. Victor Tabbush, adjunct professor of global economics & management, who served as associate dean and director of the Fully Employed MBA Program from 2001 to 2007, summed up why the learn-by-doing approach of AMR has been so pivotal in the development of full-time MBA students.
"Students learn only a little from listening, slightly more from being shown and the most by doing it themselves," said Tabbush. "In AMR, they do it themselves and learn about the management challenges of planning and executing business strategies in ways that are truly memorable."

Chelsea have confirmed they have reached a deal with Bayer Leverkusen for Andre Schürrle, subject to a medical and personal terms being agreed.
The Blues have been in persuit of the young German international for some time, but finally announced they had concluded the deal today. The fee is believed to be in the region of £20 million.
"Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen have reached an agreement for the transfer of André Schürrle, subject to the completion of legal documentation and related matters, including personal terms and passing a medical," read a club statement.
It had been initially suggested that Chelsea midfielder Kevin de Bruyne could be used as part of the deal - however Leverkusen have announced they have signed Heung Min-Son on a five-year deal from Hamburg instead.
"We made it clear from the start that a transfer of Schürrle to Chelsea would only happen if an adequate sporting alternative was possible," said club chairman Wolfgang Holzhaeuser.
"This alternative was now taken under contract with Son Heung-min and so there is nothing blocking Andre Schürrle's transfer from our side."Schürrle becomes the first player to sign for Chelsea since Jose Mourinho returned to take over the club last week.
The Blues are expected to spend big this summer, and have been linked with moves for Napoli forward Edinson Cavani and Benfica's Nemanja Matic.

Akaneiro: Demon Hunters is Now in Open Beta
Remember Akaneiro: Demon Hunters, the new game from American McGee? Well, the PC version is now in open beta for you to try!
We recently reported on American McGee and Spicy Horse's Kickstarter project, in which they aim to port their action role-playing game, Akaneiro: Demon Hunters, to tablets and expand on their vision for the title.
The PC version happens to be complete and they already held closed betas to see how it runs. But today, the open beta goes lives, so anyone who signs up for a Spicy Horse account will be able to play a bit of the web-based game.
And for those who were thinking about pledging funds for Android and iOS tablet versions of the game, this open beta should present an opportunity for them to see the product in action. If they do decide its worth expanding and bringing to mobile platforms, they can pledge their moolah on the Kickstarter page.
As of this writing, Spicy Horse has about $50,000 of their $200,000 goal and they've tweaked their stretch goals and reward tiers to be clearer to backers. Try the game and let us know if you think this is something that needs to be on tablets!

In a humorous address that earned a standing ovation from students, British historical novelist Bernard Cornwell told the approximately 1,100 undergraduate members of the University of Hartford's Class of 2013 that the most important skill they have learned in their four years at the University is to be critical thinkers, as they take in all the information that is coming at them and affecting the decisions they make about their lives.
"Your job is to listen and to think for yourselves," Cornwell said in his Commencement address on Sunday, May 19. "If you take an idea off the shelf, whether it's a political belief or religious dogma, and you don't examine it, when you come to depend on it, it will crumble. [Shakespeare] put it much better than I can. 'Unto thine own self be true, and it shall follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.'"
Cornwell, whose speech combined serious advice with a constant stream of witty remarks and anecdotes, brought the graduates to their feet when he concluded his remarks by saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the best-looking, most intelligent and by far the sexiest class ever to graduate from the University of Hartford."
Cornwell was presented with an honorary Doctor of Letters at the ceremony, which also included honorary degree presentations to Richard D. Fain, chairman and chief executive officer of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.; John Corigliano, prolific composer and professor of music at Lehman College of the City University of New York; and Walter Wick, award-winning children's book author and photographic illustrator. Click here to see more about the honorary degree recipients.
About 1,100 students received bachelor's and associate's degrees at diploma presentation ceremonies that followed Sunday's main ceremony. More than 40 percent of the undergraduate class of 2013 graduated with honors: 129 cum laude, 191 magna cum laude, and 151 summa cum laude. Also, 37 students graduated with University Honors this year, breaking last year's record of 36. (To graduate with University Honors, students must complete 18 credits of honors courses as well as a senior-year thesis or research project.) See more facts and stories about the Class of 2013 here.
University President Walter Harrison praised the Class of 2013 during Sunday's main Commencement ceremony, as he said, "We celebrate you for what you have accomplished. Today is about the joy of human accomplishment and possibility, and it's about celebrating the joy and value of a University of Hartford experience! Let's celebrate that joy and bask in it."
Graduating senior Rutger Strauss, who earned a degree in mechanical engineering, also focused on the skills that students gained at the University in his "Charge to the Class of 2013." He noted that, "The University of Hartford has heightened our sense of responsibility to the communities in which we participate beyond the point of simply being 'concerned' from the sidelines when things start to go wrong. We have been instilled with a sense of responsibility that demands commitment. We find ourselves not only more aware and more involved, but also more able to carry out that responsibility. Over the last four years, we have learned to be teachers, artists, and so much more. We have been given the tools to succeed, and we will continue to succeed."
Graduating senior Miles Aron was awarded the John G. Martin Scholarship to continue his studies at Oxford University in England, graduating senior Peter Bowers was given the John G. Lee Medal for academic achievement and community service, and graduating senior Dana Eckstein was given the Belle K. Ribicoff Prize for academic excellence.
Malcolm Morrison, who served as dean of the University's Hartt School from 1998 to 2008, was presented with the University Medal for Distinguished Service, which is awarded infrequently to an individual or group who has had a profound impact on the University. Nancy Stula '83 '85, director and curator of the Lyman Allyn Art Museum in New London, was presented with the Distinguished Alumni Award, which is presented annually to a University graduate who has made an exceptional impact on her/his profession, community, and the University.
Faculty honors were presented to Susan Diehl, who received the Roy E. Larsen Award for Excellence in Teaching, Robert Davis, who was given the James E. and Frances W. Bent Award for Scholarly and/or Artistic Creativity, Donn Weinholtz, who received the Oscar and Shoshana Trachtenberg Award for Sustained Service to the University, David Pines, who was given the Donald W. Davis All-University Curriculum Award, Joshua Russell, who earned the Belle K. Ribicoff Junior Faculty Prize, and Bryan Sinche, who was awarded the first-ever Belle K. Ribicoff Endowed Professorship.
Chartered in 1957 with the mission to be a "private university with a public purpose," the University of Hartford offers undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs in the arts, humanities, business, engineering and technology, education, and the health professions. The University's student body of more than 7,000 represents 45 states and nearly 60 countries. For more information, visit www.hartford.edu.

Lora necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 50 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
Mayflower Trade needs a new image on their homepage. It's currently looks like bad clip art- with no thought to design or style. We still want minimalistic, but sleek, modern, and professional. 2009, not 1980.
Mayflower Trade engages in trading varied types of products, i.e. textiles, car accessories, medical equipment, toys and industrial sensors, the image should be neutral, yet smart. Sleek, but inviting. And definitely simple.
We'd like to stick with black and white, with maybe a dash of rust/dark red. We'd like to see it more 'designed,' maybe some shading, a raised or 3D image, bolder lines maybe textured?
What ever is done to the map image we'd like to maybe see injected into the logo (without changing the content of the logo). The change to the logo should be very minimal, and definitely staying black and white.
- New map image for website homepage. currently is http://www.mayflowertrade.com/home.htm
- Map should consist of China, New York State, the USA, and Europe with arrows between them (see website).
- There should be a red dot or marker on the China and New York State map (like in current image).
- Colors should stay black and white, maybe a little bit of dark red or rust color if you think it looks good.
- Maybe an updated logo- the change, if any, should be very minimal, just to not look outdone by the new image. If the new image is 3D, then we can make the logo 3D. We don't want to change the content of the logo. Maybe the logo doesn't need any change.
- Focus is on the new map image.
- We don't want colors- only black and white. (Maybe rust or dark red).
- We don't want any cartoon-like images. Sleek, professional, simple.

DuPont Pioneer Announces New Pioneer® Field360™ Tools App for Growers
Easy-to-use tool helps growers predict more during the growing season
DES MOINES, Iowa - July 16, 2013 - A new mobile app that features three agronomy tools is now available to help growers with this season's management decisions. The Pioneer® Field360™ Tools app from DuPont Pioneer features the GDU Estimator, Precipitation Estimator, and Growth Stage Estimator.
"Conveniently packaging DuPont Pioneer agronomy expertise into one mobile application that growers can use to make decisions anywhere they farm is one of the benefits of the new Pioneer Field360 Tools app," says Matt Snyder, DuPont Pioneer product manager. The app has improved usability, requiring one-time input of location, start date and comparative relative maturity (CRM).
"Growers can easily navigate between the calculators within the Pioneer Field360 Tools app without re-entering data," Snyder says.
This new app combines powerful analysis tools and real-time data, right at your fingertips. Growers are able to track multiple field scenarios, including progress of the crop with a growth stage estimator, view precipitation forecasts and daily precipitation, and calculate GDUs and key crop stages. The Pioneer Field360 Tools app can also estimate harvest dates for each Pioneer® brand corn hybrid planted.
Part of the Pioneer Field360 services offering, this app can be located by searching Field360 in the App Store™. It is available for $9.99. The app will be upgraded with additional best-in-class agronomy tools as they are available. An Android version of the app will be available later in July in the Google Play™ Store.
Growers can also go to pioneer.com/360 to access the Pioneer Field360 Tools app and other Pioneer applications such as Pioneer® Field360™ Notes app and the Plantability app.
