Clinically proven to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles after two months of daily use.
The first and original skin cream formulated with PSP, the most complete protein blend of Human Growth Factors, Cytokines and Interleukins available to rejuvenate and soothe skin. Bio Cream is ideal for normal to dry skin types.
I love the product. I hate the packaging. The lid is always falling off and bouncing on the floor. It doesn't pack well and there is always product left when I can no longer pump. I have my husband take the container apart so I can get the extra week or more of product out.
I wanted a very hydrating cream with the PSP, this is light weight and leaves your skin feeling wonderful! Love this product! I use Lumiere also and my fine lines around my eyes are gone, give it a few months to see difference. This are the best products in the market for wrinkles, pores and overall youth ness of the skin.
So disappointed that packaging has changed. Not worth the money to buy and not be able to travel with it.
Great cream but I will shop around for more convenient packaging.
Apply a thin layer of Neocutis Bio-restorative Skin Cream to the affected skin area 3 to 4 times daily or as may be directed. Continue daily administration of cream until the skin appears to have recovered, which may take up to several weeks.
This product can be shipped to any country to which SkinStore currently ships.

Pathways to Education Opportunity
Creating Pathways to Educational and Economic Opportunity
The Urban and Higher Education Program's goals are centered on creating pathways to educational and economic opportunity by generating systemic change across a K-16 continuum, with particular emphasis on secondary and higher education. We work to enable many more students, including historically underserved populations, to achieve academic success. Our grantees help all students perform with the high levels of creative, scientific, and technical knowledge and skill needed to compete in a global economy and exercise leadership.
Grant-making in this program concentrates on three main areas. By supporting a push for common core standards and next generation assessments, we counter low expectations for schools and students. By investing in innovation in human capital preparation and management, we address development of talent. Lastly, through new designs for innovation in classrooms, schools, colleges and systems in K-16, we look to strengthen student engagement, motivation, effort, and persistence. In addition, the program integrates these three areas through efforts to improve policy, and thus create stronger conditions and platforms for accountability, innovation, and systemic reform.
These following key levers of change are central to the Corporation's Urban and Higher Education Program:
Innovation in Teaching and Human Capital Management
New Designs: Innovation in Classroom, School, College and System Design
Improving Policy: Creating Better Conditions and Platforms for Accountability, Innovation, and Systemic Reform

When Jamie Laiaddee moved to Arizona and met fellow Michigan University alumni Bryan Stewart, it seemed she found her soul mate. They both went to the same college, they both loved football, and seemingly they loved each other.
However, a few years later, the bond was broken when Laiaddee vanished, leaving Stewart the last person to see her. Police suspected her boyfriend had a hand in her disappearance, but they had no body or a crime scene to prove it. But their investigation would turn up red-flags and take the case in directions no one ever could have expected - even those who knew Laiaddee and Stewart.
Correspondent Erin Moriarty and the 48 HOURS team investigate Laiaddee's disappearance and the search for what may have happened to her in an updated edition of "The Stranger Beside Me," to be broadcast Saturday, Dec. 29 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
"It is a very different case than just about everything else that we work," Chandler, Ariz., Detective Nate Moffat tells 48 HOURS. "There was no blood, there was no body, there was no evidence of a crime scene... There's no smoking gun in this case, but there is a lot of burning matchsticks."
Laiaddee met Stewart in 2007. They fell in love, moved in together and then, in March 2010, she vanished. Stewart told everyone she moved to Denver to take a new job. When police began investigating her disappearance, they also learned Stewart had been lying to Laiaddee about who he really is.
"Jamie Laiaddee is alive. She took $100,000 of Daddy's money and she left the state of Arizona," he tells 48 HOURS. He adds, "I taught Jamie how to create a whole new life for herself. That included a new identification, a whole new persona - a whole new way of looking at things."
To piece together the story, Moriarty and the 48 HOURS team interview Laiaddee's family and friends, police and Stewart. "The Stranger Beside Me" is produced by Judy Rybak. Linda Martin is the update producer. Cindy Cesare, Jennifer Simpson and Marc Goldbaum are the field producers. Al Briganti is the executive editor. Susan Zirinsky is the senior executive producer.

I think Reed still has what it takes to not back off through the first turn and that in itself should be enough to give him a chance. he may not win the title but if he can win a few mains this year I think thats somewhat a success. can't wait till it starts and to see how Tomac runs. once again the top 5 will be crowded with 7-8 guys.

Students deemed "responsible" for alleged sexual assaults on college campuses can face little or no consequence for their acts.

Sometimes, you've just got to take things to the extreme. While you may not be ready to skydive or go for that Michelle Williams-inspired platinum pixie cut, you can most certainly push the boundaries with your lashes. Meet Marcelle Xtension Plus Mascara, your new go-to for making a bold, beautiful lash statement, delivering both extreme length and curl. Specially designed to define lashes without leaving behind any clumps, this hypoallergenic, perfume-free formula is the simple way to achieve showstopping eyes.
After reading the reviews, I decided to give this mascara a try. It almost immediately became my go-to, every day mascara. As someone with thin eyelashes, this mascara lengthens without looking fake or hokey or giving me that 1980s clumpy-spider look. I have had no trouble remove it at the end of each night either. I have nothing but awesome things to say about this mascara.5
I bought this without knowing anything about the brand in hopes that it would be a good product. (Fingers were crossed). It actually turned out to be a great mascara. I love the brush it's perfect for getting bottom lashes as well as short top lashes. The formula is creamy and glides on easily, it doesn't smudge or flake off and it's easy to take off at night which is a huge plus for me. I would recommend this other as well as repurchase again.5

Press release from Business Wire
A.M. Best Assigns Debt Rating to Infinity Property & Casualty Corporation's Senior Notes
Friday, September 21, 2012
A.M. Best Assigns Debt Rating to Infinity Property & Casualty Corporation's Senior Notes15:08 EDT Friday, September 21, 2012 OLDWICK, N.J. (Business Wire) -- A.M. Best Co. has assigned a debt rating of "bbb" to the $275 million 5.0% 10-year senior unsecured notes of Infinity Property & Casualty Corporation (Infinity) (headquartered in Birmingham, AL) (NASDAQ: IPCC) that were issued on September 19, 2012. The assigned outlook is stable. Infinity's existing financial strength, issuer credit and debt ratings are unchanged. A.M. Best anticipates the proceeds from this issuance will be used to redeem the $195 million 5.5% 10-year senior unsecured notes due February 18, 2014. Any remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. While Infinity maintains financial leverage and interest coverage that are in line with its current ratings, its debt-to-total capital ratio has increased in the short term due to this additional debt issuance. However, it is projected to decrease to approximately 30.0% at year-end 2012. This is due to the planned redemption of the $195 million 5.5% 10-year senior unsecured notes, which is scheduled to take place on October 17, 2012. On March 21, 2012, A.M. Best affirmed Infinity's ICR of "bbb" with a stable outlook. The methodology used in determining these ratings is Best's Credit Rating Methodology, which provides a comprehensive explanation of A.M. Best's rating process and contains the different rating criteria employed in the rating process. Key criteria utilized include: "Catastrophe Analysis in A.M. Best Ratings"; "Insurance Holding Company and Debt Ratings"; "Risk Management and the Rating Process for Insurance Companies"; and "Understanding BCAR for Property/Casualty Insurers." Best's Credit Rating Methodology can be found at www.ambest.com/ratings/methodology. Founded in 1899, A.M. Best Company is the world's oldest and most authoritative insurance rating and information source. For more information, visit www.ambest.com. Copyright © 2012 by A.M.

I love this conditioner and have used it since my baby was born since she had a full head of hair on day one. This is great for babies and when I am in a pinch -- I've used it too so it's great for adults too!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Does not work!
By Parent
from San Francisco, CA
See all my reviews
I bought this for my 2.5 year old who has long and curly hair. I need a conditioner like mine, that makes it easy to comb through unruly hair. Basically California Baby put their lotion into a conditioner bottle and if you have ever tried to use lotion as a conditioner (like me) you know it does not work. It is runny and not thick. Give the price, customers should fully expect conditioning properties. I don't usually write reviews, but wanted to caution other parents looking for a good hair conditioner for their toddler.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
After shampooing, massage a generous amount evenly through hair; leave on 2-4 minutes. Rinse. For extra conditioning or to soothe dry irritated scalp, do not rinse out.

Foresight 2010 debate: Futarchy from Monica Anderson on Vimeo.
H/t Foresight Institute.
Wow! Congratulations to Nick Bostrom, Ray Kurzweil, and Jamais Cascio for being selected for Foreign Policy's first annual list of Top 100 Global Thinkers. Their associated writeups can be found here.
Ray Kurzweil: "for advancing the technology of eternal life". Jamais Cascio: "for being our moral guide to the future." Nick Bostrom: "for accepting no limits on human potential."
Two transhumanists and one "non-transhumanist transhumanist" on the list!
Scanning the list, another notable names are Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Steven Chu, Henry Kissinger, Peter Singer, Linus Torvalds, and Larry Summers.
#19 is Gladwell. He has been keeping his igon values well calibrated, I see. Here's a quote from his associated write-up:
By making surprising arguments seem obvious, Gladwell has added a serious dose of empiricism to long-form journalism and changed how we think about thought itself.
This sentence causes pain in my mind. I am shocked at how Gladwell is perceived as a scientific writer by the broader …
Robin Hanson, economist and author of Overcoming Bias, recently appeared in USA Today talking about SETI. He appears as a counterpoint to Seth Shostak, a guy who I believe is totally out of it. Here's the relevant section:
But researchers such as Robin Hanson of George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., wonder whether the big picture really looks so promising when it comes to advanced life. Hanson supports SETI but finds it telling that humans haven't come across anything yet. "It has been remarkable and somewhat discouraging,†Hanson says, "that the universe is so damn big and so damn dead.â€
Great quote, love it. To quote Marshall T. Savage, author of that superlative masterpiece, The Millennial Project:
There is a program to actively search for signals from other civilizations in the galaxy: SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence). This is a noble cause, but it seems slightly absurd. Scientists huddle around radio telescopes listening intently to one star at a time for the sound of …
In futurist circles and think tanks, sometimes the question comes up, "in the long run, which will be more effective, offense or defense?" The answer to this question has serious implications for which direction we should move in as a civilization — if defense is easier, then many autonomous, independent, largely unaccountable communities might be possible, but if offense is easier, then there may need to be a global police force to put down rogue states before they start invading their neighbors. A more acceptable version of a global police force would be an impartial singleton.
The first, and obvious point, is that this question is entirely technical, a matter of military and physical reality, unconnected to political or ideological beliefs. Political beliefs should flow from the technical assessment, not influence it. So, if it turns out that offense is easier, those that strongly support the existence of many autonomous unaccountable geopolitical units will be forced, whether they like it or not, to adjust their beliefs slightly to the other end of the spectrum, depending on how much better offense …

"The best beach city in California."
Casanova restaurant is the best. We also love the Carmel Bakery, and enjoy casual dinner at the Hog's Breath Inn. The city is so dog friendly! I loved seeing dogs in restaurants all over town, and in hotels as well. The shops were great, including something for everyone - amazing cowboy boots, art, gifts, even Christmas ornaments. A very welcoming town with a friendly, beachy vibe that is hard to beat.

28 year old man | Austin, TX, USA | Seeking women 23-26
There are two things I care about... Travel and Community. Everything else in my life is there to support those goals. I have a job that allows me to meet and interact with people from every walk of life imaginable and affords me the freedom to travel whenever my heart desires (with some planning of course). As for community, I tend to learn a lot about the people I meet and try to help them out at every opportunity. Because of that, I've been lucky to meet a lot of great people that have made Austin more than just a home, but more like a family. My Ideal mate would have to be able to survive a somewhat hectic lifestyle... I'm spontaneous and I can change course on a dime. A woman who's quick on her feet will love the fact that she'll never have the chance to be bored. At the same time, she'll find a man that's willing to and able to drop everything and come to her aid whenever she needs it. I'm attracted to feminine women, ie, a woman who's not afraid to be nurturing every once in a while. If you're the type that always has to give people shit or be a ball buster, we probably won't click... But if you're affectionate, and a little on the softer side, I'd love to be the dark chocolate shell that surrounds you ;) I'm a little tough on the outside and might sometimes come off as challenging or abrasive, but with the right woman, I'm a teddy bear. On my downtime, I like to keep things nice and uncomplicated... I'd rather have good conversation and connect with someone one-on-one than spend my off hours around a ton of people. I'm an extrovert at work, but an introvert at heart. I LOVE deep conversations where me and my partner can pull apart the mysteries of the universe. If you're a woman with a brilliant mind who loves to be caressed and cared for, send me a wink. And let's see what happens :)
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing cards , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Volunteering
Billiards / Pool, Cycling, Dancing, Martial arts, Running, Swimming, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
Very Liberal
Dominican Joes, Hookah Lounges, Kung Fu Saloon, Slick Willies, 24Hour Fitness
Political Dramas, Spicy Food
I love to challenge myself... Fun to me means something competitive and mentally stimulating. Sports are always fun, racing being one of my favorites. But I can be just as entertained by a night of verbal sparring with a worthy partner...

Selling more Mamiya RZ67 gear. This is my Pro II body with my go to lens -- hate to give it up, but I haven't used it in months. The 65mm M L-A with the floating element is one of Mamiya's finest lenses for the RZ series -- extremely sharp, with little visual image distortion. This one has some barrel scuffs, but the glass is beautiful, front and back, and I've always kept it capped when it's not in use (it also has a UV filter on it, which I'll throw in).
The body works great; the only issue with it is that the shutter doesn't cock as smoothly as it should. I think there may be some give in the shutter lever, although I'm not sure; if you're planning to use this camera heavily in a studio environment, I would probably slap an RZ winder on the bottom (I would throw that in as well, but I've already sold mine).
The L-Grip functions perfectly. The back is in good shape as well. Not pictured are the caps and the waist level finder, which is also included.
Great camera, solid, built like a tank, and it offers a 6x7 frame. What more could you want?
Asking $745 plus shipping, payable via PayPal only.

With the sun so close to Mars and squared to Uranus, it is quite possible that the greedy people will get their grabby hands into what doesn't belong to them.

Re: TechReport: Very poor driver support for ATi 3d
Really, from that article it looks like both of them suck. The AMD one from it just seems to suck more with game support.
Playability when it did work seems to be the total opposite though.
From a seat-of-the-pants perspective, the Nvidia setup feels less fluid, with intermittent sputtering that compromises the illusion of motion. It's not less responsive mind you; we didn't notice any input delay or anything of the sort. There were, however, occasional skips and rare, subtle oscillations in movement speed and animation.
Here, we see how much time each card spends churning out frames that take longer than 50 ms to render. True to what we saw in the plots above, the Nvidia setup is at a considerable disadvantage. Evidently, the impact of stereo 3D isn't just limited to lower average frame rates (or higher average frame times). Frame-time spikes can be a serious problem. They threaten to damage the illusion of motion and make gameplay choppy.
Interesting article anyways. Maybe when 3D matures more, and we get 120hz IPS panels I might give it a try.

Bowl Grades: Sugar Bowl
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
Ohio State builds a 31-13 second-half lead and -- despite a safety, lost fumble, and blocked punt, all in the fourth quarter -- holds off a furious Arkansas rally to win a classic, 31-26.
Offense: Terrelle Pryor may never be remembered as the dominant force-of-nature his raw talent suggests he can be, but it won't be for his bowl performances. The Sugar Bowl MVP racked up 336 yards-from-scrimmage (221 passing, 115 rushing), accounted for two touchdowns without committing a turnover, and was sensational on third down, converting multiple hopeless-looking situations into third downs with his scrambling.
Add Pryor's night to big ones from Dane Sanzenbacher (only three receptions but two touchdowns, one on a fumble recovery), Boom Herron (87 yards, one score), and the Buckeye offensive line (5.0 yards-per-carry, no sacks allowed vs. the nation's 12th-ranked pass rush) and it's easy to see how the Buckeyes raced out to a 28-7 first-half lead. They had a much rougher second half -- only 110 yards of offense after 336 at halftime, and Herron's safety and fumble handed Arkansas two gift-wrapped opportunities -- but they also never made the killer mistake to let the Hogs all the way back. GRADE: B+
Defense: Start with Cameron Heyward, a night-long nightmare for the Hog offensive line who for all of Pryor's brilliance should have been the game MVP. Then there's the four sacks, the mediocre 5.9 yards allowed per pass play (despite the loss of top corner Chimdi Chekwa to a broken hand early in the game), and the one touchdown allowed over the course of Arkansas's final 12 possessions.
But most of all, there's this: with the Hogs within one possession following the Herron safety, their final four drives started at the 50-yard line, the Arkansas 44, the Ohio State 48, and the OSU 18. Total results of those drives? 39 yards, three points, two punts, and one backbreaking turnover. There's clutch defense, and then there's that. GRADE: A-
Coaching: A bizarre first-half onsides kick attempt aside, Jim Tressel and his staff pushed the right buttons, kept the defense together in the face of multiple injuries, and had his team plenty ready to play on both sides of the ball. You beat a 10-win SEC team in the Sugar Bowl, you've done a lot of things right, GRADE: A-
Offense: The Hogs finished with an impressive 402 yards against the No. 2 defense in the country, but no one's going to remember that. They'll remember the devastating parade of drops from the Hog receivers (six in all, half of them from particularly-butterfingered wideout Joe Adams) , the Swiss cheese pass protection, the wasted opportunity after wasted opportunity down the stretch, and finally the one game-icing mistake from Ryan Mallett. There's a lot to say for an offense that puts up those kinds of yards (including a quiet 139 yards rushing for Knile Davis, if there can be such a thing) and even the 26 points against a defense as stout as the Buckeyes, but as many chances as the Hog defense and special teams gave Bobby Petrino's favorite unit, there's also little question they should have found a way to finish the comeback. GRADE: C-
Defense: For most of the first half, the Hogs looked like the rock-bottom group from 2009 rather than the much-improved outfit we saw in 2010, missing tackles left and right (Pryor is one thing, but when Sanzenbacher is juking his way out of tight spots, you've got issues) and leaving massive gaps both up front and in the secondary. 336 first-half yards to an attack as generally non-explosive as the Buckeyes' (not to mention the 28 points) pretty much says it all.
To their credit, the Hogs responded with a huge second half, giving up just one net point after yielding one field goal and scoring a safety of their own. But maybe the offense could have gotten all the way out of the hole if it hadn't been quite so deep to begin with. GRADE: B-
Coaching: Defensive coordinator Willy Robinson deserves some kudos for his halftime adjustments and Petrino a handful for keeping his team's head in the game down big, but Petrino made some curious play calls (repeatedly asking for draws or screens on third-and-long when his quarterback possesses the strongest arm in the college game) and could have been more aggressive looking for six points late in the game rather than settling for three. Still, the Hogs' biggest problems -- his line's terrible play, the wretched drops -- were more player execution problems than coaching issues. We think. GRADE: B
FINAL GRADE: Games simply don't get a whole lot more dramatic than this one, with the outcome seemingly riding on each and every play in the fourth quarter and momentum swinging back and forth like the needle of a metronome. If this was our appetizer for the BCS national title game, we can't wait for the main course. GRADE: A

CBS Bowl Bonanza: Sugar Bowl
Posted by Tom Fornelli
The Basics: Ohio State (11-1) vs. Arkansas (10-2), Jan. 4, 8:30pm ET
Why You Should Watch: This game will feature one of the more interesting matchups in the BCS this season, and in the bowl games. On one side you have a program that is no stranger to the BCS, nor to facing an SEC opponent (Ohio State is 0-9 against the SEC in bowl games) while there in Ohio State. The other side has a team that's looking around like "Wow." Arkansas has had some success in the last decade, but the Sugar Bowl isn't a stage it's grown accustomed to. In fact, this is Arkansas' first appearance in a BCS game, and first trip to the Sugar Bowl since 1980.
It's also a clash of styles. Ohio State presents an offense that prefers to keep things close to its sweatervest, preferring to move the ball down the field slowly, and occasionally go for the big play. Arkansas is a team that can score from anywhere on the field at anytime, and is literally trying to score on every play. It'll be like a poker game where one guy is pushing all his chips in on every play, and the other is just sitting around waiting for pocket aces.
Keys to Victory for Ohio State: As I mentioned above, Ohio State and Jim Tressel have a very particular approach to football, and if they're going to win this game, it's a formula they'll likely need to stick to. Ohio State's defense is pretty strong, but the best way to keep the Arkansas offense from putting points on the board is to keep the Arkansas offense on the sideline. So while Terrelle Pryor has plenty of talent and nice weapons in Devier Posey and Dane Sanzenbacher, the Buckeyes best bet is to keep the ball on the ground and in the hands of Brandon Saine and Dan Herron.
On defense, the goal is simple, but not easy to execute: stop Ryan Mallett. Mallett has thrown for 3,627 yards and 30 touchdowns this season, so it will be a key for Ohio State's defense to get pressure on him and not allow him to sit in the pocket and pick apart the secondary. Of course, while focusing on Mallett, the Buckeyes can't afford to sleep on Knile Davis. Davis has rushed for nearly 1,200 yards and 13 touchdowns, and is often overlooked due to the Arkansas passing attack.
Keys to Victory for Arkansas: Now, we know that Arkansas has a high powered offense. One that is 4th in the nation in passing yards with 349.2 a game, but its average of 37.3 points per game is actually below Ohio State's output of 39.4 points a game. So we know that Mallett, Greg Childs and the rest of the Razorback offense is going to make some plays.
The key will be whether or not Arkansas' defense can stop the Buckeyes. The Hogs have lost two games this season. One was a shootout against Auburn that saw its defense give up 65 points to Auburn. The other was a game in which the Hogs only managed 20 points against Alabama. Ohio State will be the toughest defense Arkansas has faced since that game, and the Arkansas defense will have to do its part to keep the Hogs in the game. To do this the Hogs will have to make Pryor one-dimensional. Either take away the pass and force him to beat you with his legs, or take away the running lanes and force him to beat you with his arm.
The Sugar Bowl is like: Well, it's like a big bowl of sugar. It tastes really good, gets you incredibly excited, but in the end, you're just going to crash and it won't really mean anything in the bigger picture. Of course, that won't stop you from doing it all over again.

OSU seniors consider benching suspended players
Posted by Tom Fornelli
There's been a bit of confusion and anger over the NCAA's decision to suspend six Ohio State players for five games next season for selling memorabilia and accepting discounted tattoos, but not to suspend them for the Sugar Bowl against Arkansas. Well, it seems there's still a chance that none of the suspended players will play in the Sugar Bowl, though it's not the NCAA's decision.
The team met for the first time since the suspension was announced on Sunday, and according to a report in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the suspended players apologized to their teammates at the meeting. According to the same report, the Ohio State seniors also got together to discuss whether or not they wanted the players suspended by the team for the bowl game as well.
According to sources, the suspended players are scheduled to travel with the team to New Orleans, but the final decision on what happens to quarterback Terrelle Pryor, running back Dan Herron, receiver DeVier Posey, left tackle Mike Adams, backup defensive end Solomon Thomas and backup linebacker Jordan Whiting obviously lies with Ohio State coach Jim Tressel. One source said one scenario could include the sanctioned Buckeyes playing in the Sugar Bowl, but perhaps not starting.
If I had to guess, I don't think Tressel will sit any of the players for the Sugar Bowl. If anything, he'll choose the option to not start them, though I don't even expect that to be the case. Personally, while I understand why people are angry that none of the players were suspended for the bowl game, I tend to feel that suspending them for five games next season hurts Ohio State more than forcing them to sit out the Sugar Bowl would.
Let's be real, here, while the Sugar Bowl is a big deal, it doesn't actually mean anything in the big picture. It's not like the winner of the game has a chance to be the national champion. The only thing on the line in the game is Ohio State's pride as they face another SEC team in a BCS bowl game.
Suspending the players for next season, however, likely costs the Buckeyes a shot at a national title in 2011 and possibly a Big Ten title as well. Even if players like Terrelle Pryor decide to leave school early rather than sit out nearly half the season, that still means the Buckeyes won't have them next year, which will have an impact on the team's performance.
Though, had the NCAA just decided to suspend the players for six games, including the bowl game, that would have kept everybody off its back, but since when does the NCAA ever do anything in which it doesn't leave itself open to criticism?

Nick Saban expresses doubt about new NCAA rules
Posted by Adam Jacobi
Back in September, the NCAA introduced legislation to make it possible for coaches to be suspended over secondary NCAA violations. Naturally, this idea is causing consternation among those in the coaching ranks, as secondary violations are generally regarded on the same level of seriousness as parking tickets. In the NCAA's eyes, of course, that mindset is itself a problem, so down this road we go.
Nick Saban sees all this, and Nick Saban doesn't like what he sees. Here's what he told reporters Tuesday, according to TideSports.com:"I thought originally in our discussions, in some of our meetings, that this was a rule that was going to be sort of implemented for people who had multiple secondary violations," Saban said. "In other words, there was a disrespect for the rules shown by someone continuing to do the wrong thing. It wasn't like you had one thing that happened that's bad … and you could get suspended for a game."
"I think it hurts the players when you start suspending coaches, so I'm not sure I'm in agreement. But I'm not sure that I have a solution, because we do respect the rules and we do want everybody to abide by the rules," Saban said. "If this punishment is what's going to change someone's behavior, then I think it's good. But if it's not going to change anybody's behavior, then I don't really think it's good."
This is actually a remarkably sane approach to the issue. Punishment for the sake of punishment isn't necessarily a positive response to a widespread problem (see: Drugs, War On). Saban correctly recognizes that if the amount of secondary violations doesn't appreciably decrease, football would be worse off if some number of coaches are suspended than if none are suspended.
Further, it's worth remembering that it's really easy to commit a secondary NCAA violation. Derek Dooley just committed one the other day when he accidentally posted on a recruit's Facebook wall, after all. Arkansas had recruits try on jerseys and is under investigation. In basketball, Tom Izzo caught a one-game suspension for paying the wrong guy to run a weekend basketball camp.
So between this and Saban's inartful (yet not incorrect) comparison of unscrupulous agents and "pimps," it's plainly evident that he has a better grasp on incentives and disincentives than most people. Compare Saban's willingness to examine whether a rule is good or bad based on its evident effects on behavior with this from NCAA president Mark Emmert a month before his arrival with the organization, earlier this year:
"I'm really pleased with how we're working with the universities and colleges to try to correct behaviors that are not in the school's best interests," Emmert said in a phone interview Tuesday from Seattle. "Under my leadership, we're not going to see any diminutive effect of that effort. But I like where we're going right now."
"I can't talk about any [current] cases, but the fact that we've got strong enforcement going on, I think, is a good thing," he said.
Now, we're not about to accuse Emmert of not knowing or caring whether every one of those rules is appropriate for the NCAA. That would be wrong. It just seems that with extremely limited disincentive for, say, an agent to make subtle overtures to a prospective pro or a tattoo shop to offer the hookup to a football player in return for some swag, merely increasing the punishment on players taking advantage of such a relationship isn't going to solve any long-term problems; it'll probably just mean more players get in trouble. And if football suffers when its teams lose coaches to suspension with no effect on behavior, it sure as heck also suffers when more of its players are suspended for doing logical things like selling goods for money.
So while we'll stop short of recommending Nick Saban be the next president of the NCAA, in our estimation, the organization would be better off if Saban takes an advisory role on policy once he decides to take his career in a less demanding direction. Or think about it this direction: if Nick Saban's writing the rules, do you really think Terrelle Pryor or A.J. Green sit for a third of the season just for selling things that were given to them in a transaction that doesn't get the other side in trouble at all?

CBS Bowl Bonanza: New Mexico Bowl
Posted by Adam Jacobi
Why You Should Watch: It's the very first bowl game of the year! It's Saturday at 2:00 p.m., and don't you really want one more dose of Saturday afternoon football before the relatives start showing up and the holidays start getting a little too real? Plus, sure, BYU is 6-6, but that record's a bit misleading, as the Stormin' Mormons' regular season schedule featured seven bowl teams -- including all four non-conference foes. UTEP also faced a litany of impressive players, including Ryan Mallett with Arkansas and Houston QB Case Keenum before his season-ending injury. Neither defense is going to be surprised or overmatched, compared to what they'd seen earlier in the season.
Keys to Victory for BYU: The Cougars need to get Jake Heaps going early in the game. The freshman quarterback has been turning his season around after throwing just two touchdowns in his first eight games; Heaps is up to 11 passing TDs on the year and another TD on the ground, and the UTEP passing defense is just porous enough to allow the Cougars to get something going if they're in the mood.
But most of all, BYU has to shake the Green Chili Curse. Every year, before the New Mexico Bowl, the two teams engage in a green chili cookoff in honor of New Mexico's most famous cuisine. Trouble is, the winning team in the cookoff is 0-4 in the actual bowl game thereafter. Brigham Young won this year, so that's obviously a problem; near as we can tell, there are ancient gods who control green chilis and punish those who desecrate their sacred fruit to the infidel judges' liking in said competition. That's a factor BYU needs to account for, or this game's as good as lost. Either that or the cookoff correlation is just random chance, but where's the fun in that?
Keys to Victory for UTEP: On paper, UTEP is overmatched in this game, but the Miners are facing a freshman quarterback with a penchant for not throwing touchdowns who's playing in his very first bowl game. So often, these minor bowl games just come down to a battle of who could care less, so if ever there were an opportunity for UTEP to grab its first bowl win since 1967, it's now.
QB Trevor Vittatoe and star wideout Kris Adams are likely the keys for UTEP. Both are seniors playing in their last game as Miners, and despite their considerable career numbers, neither is projected to be much of a factor in the NFL as of right now. Adams might get drafted late; Vittatoe probably won't. If the tandem can hook up the deep game a couple more times in their last dance, UTEP could put up enough points to take this game.
The New Mexico Bowl is like: a glass of water. What's the first thing you get when you dine out? Appetizer? Salad? Rolls and butter? Drink order? No, no, no, and no; it's that ubiquitous glass of water, there to welcome you to the restaurant and whet your appetite for what's to come. It's not there to satisfy, and to expect otherwise would be just silly. Yet the longer you wait for it, the more uncomfortable everybody at the table becomes. Ladies and gentlemen, fret not; your water is here, and your bowl experience is about to begin.

Arkansas looking into possible violations
Posted by Chip Patterson
Just when the NCAA decided to make an announcement regarding a violations-related rule change they made in September, wouldn't you know that a high-profile program is looking into some potential secondary violations. Of course, because that is just the way these things go. Arkansas is currently looking into the situation that led to a photo being taken of several Razorbacks prospects on their official visit this past weekend. The photo could serve as hard evidence that the program is guilty of secondary recruiting violations.
NCAA bylaw 220.127.116.11 specifically stipulates schools "may not permit a prospective student-athlete to engage in any game-day simulations … during an official visit." In addition, the bylaw says "personalized recruiting aids include any decorative items and special additions to any location the prospective student-athlete will visit (e.g. hotel room, locker room, coach's office, conference room, arena) regardless of whether the items include the prospective student-athlete's name or picture."
As you can see by the photo, ten prospects are wearing Arkansas game jerseys in the locker room. While it is not known if the ten jerseys are personalized, you can see the names of five prospects up above the lockers. Arkansas reportedly received two verbal commitments from the official visits this weekend, linebacker Tyler Gilbert and safety/linebacker Rohan Gaines. Gilbert can be seen in the photo wearing #56 and T. Gilbert is posted on the locker behind him.
If Arkansas does determine that NCAA rules were broken, the violations would be secondary and not effect the eligibility of the player. But thanks to the new provisions regarding secondary violations, coaches are now held personally accountable - and could face suspension. According to the NCAA report, the suspension could be "one or more" games, but it all depends on the circumstance. Head coach Bobby Petrino, recently awarded with a lucrative new deal from Arkansas, is likely not worried about being docked one game's worth of pay - if it even comes to that.

Secondary violations can earn coaches suspensions
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
Just go ahead and call it the Lane Kiffin Rule: coaches who commit NCAA secondary violations in the name of recruiting can now face suspensions of up to two games . The days of head coaches willingly pushing the proverbial envelope and collecting slaps on the wrist like so many Pokemon sound like they may be over:
The NCAA does make clear that being found guilty of a secondary violation doesn't trigger an automatic suspension, and that "punishment could depend on the circumstances"; the coach or program who slips up somewhere once probably won't get anything more than the usual reprimand.
But some coaches -- like Kiffin during his abbreviated stay at Tennessee -- have seemed to treat the secondary violation as more bureaucratic annoyance than legitimate deterrent. This change is likely aimed at curbing those kinds of serial offenders, or the more obvious, flagrant violations, like recruits-running-out-of-the-tunnel gameday simulations.
NCAA punishments have often sounded imposing on paper and been toothless in practice; waivers for BCS schools running afoul of the annual APR requirements have been so rampant they may as well be automatic. But more than one coach complained anonymously in the media after incidents like Auburn's 2009 impromptu recruiting pep rally , and Teaff at least sounds serious. (The NCAA might even have an immediate test case at Arkansas after this photograph surfaced this week. Does dressing recruits up in Hog jerseys and letting them visit personalized lockers in the Hog locker room count as a gameday situation?) The rank-and-file in the AFCA may be tired of seeing the Kiffins of the world benefit while those that toe the line lose out.
So whether this will actually be a brave new world for recruiting violations and punishments remains to be seen. But there's little doubt it will be a development worth watching as Signing Day approaches.

Bobby Petrino gets contract extension
Posted by Tom Fornelli
The rumors started circulating on Friday night and early Saturday morning that Bobby Petrino was close to signing a contract extension that would keep him at Arkansas, and now it seems that it's no longer a rumor. According to reports on Saturday night, Petrino has signed a seven-year extension that will pay him nearly $25 million.
In another tweet from Marcello, it seems that there's a non-compete clause with the rest of the SEC in Petrino's contract as well.
Whatever the case is, this contract extension is just further proof that having your name mentioned as a candidate anywhere -- whether real or not, with or without mutual interest -- is a best way to get yourself a raise.
