Lol, Dan- American doctors are only sponsored by Gatorade to the extent which y'all's are sponsored by toast!

Toast! Really? How is that supposed to help me? I bought makings for it and now I've just been staring at it going, what?

Re: Material on Four Point Report to be under Creative Commons

You know I've been looking into it and I just don't know anymore. My Journalism Law professor last semester told us straight out that a lot of people who post photos on their site from other places (off of google images, for example) could get sued for using that, even with attribution, under copyright law, since you're distributing the actual work, not just the link, without the permission of the copyright holder. Once I figured that out, I've only used creative commons licensed photos for my blog. You can search for CC photos on flickr under advanced search options. That's also why I don't even post the photos I took at WPNI on my site- I don't actually own the copyright.
Videos on YouTube....I have no idea. I would imagine you give up the copyright once you put it out there for other people to distribute, but I really don't know.

Well, I "swear like a trooper" as much as a good little Lutheran girl from Texas can. I'm not terribly creative with my curses. Any suggestions for the third tier?

I don't know anything about feck- except I used to say it myself to try to get away with cussing in front of my parents. I'll look into it.
