At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan's athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is "exactly what the great sport of football is all about."

It's easy to create a bunch of freaky symbols and allusions. It's a lot harder to tie them all together coherently in a way that's satisfying. In the end, they didn't even try. They just stole some creepy imagery from Se7en (dangling air fresheners) and turned McConnaughey and Harrellson's storyline into your classic love-hate buddy cliché.

|Both agree and disagree
I really enjoyed the metaphysical aspects in the first four episodes, but was disappointed (hugely) when the principal bad guy turned out to be your classic weirdo living in a shack in the woods. To me, the show didn't live up to the tremendous potential of its first four episods.
Season two seems bleaker, and doesn't have the esoteric setting and regional flair of season one (rural Louisiana versus a burb of Los Angeles). Also, Harrelson's friction with McConaughey provided some levity that this season doesn't have so far.
If this was a new series, and not True Detective, I probably wouldn't be that interested in keeping up with it after episode one. But maybe this one will finish stronger than it starts. (Does anyone else think the direction so far sucks? All those face close-ups at the end . . .)

Editors write headlines, not reporters. And the editors wrote the headline, "Michigan football program broke rules, players say," which is factually false. So the editors are as complicit and involved as the reporters. A story that big with those implications does not go to press without many, many people signing off on it. I would bet no fewer than 15 people, including every sports reporter, plus the sports desk editors, managing editor, and executive editor, had a look and OK'd everything. If you know the newspaper business, you know a report like that implicates many more people than Rosenberg and Snyder.

As a journalist and a guy who wrote for a newspaper (in DC) when Stretchgate went down, the entire incident was so ethically and professionally disgusting that it's sickening to think people will just shrug their shoulders and forget about it. I wish I could come up with an appropriate analogy . . . maybe something along the lines of bankers who knowingly mislead clients and sell them junk investments to make a profit for themselves.
If these guys were gone from the Freep, I could understand giving the new reporters/editors a chance. But until that happens, no one should let these assholes off the hook for what they did. They never apologized or issued a retraction, even when it came to light that they'd eggregiously overstated things. And as another commenter brought up, they showed they were still willing to jump on UM with both feet when we announced a few minor violations a month or two ago. Seriously, fuck them.

All that's "clear" is that a high school senior had a hard time choosing between two good football schools. Weber cited the Higdon signing as a reason for his OSU committment because he felt mislead by our coaches, not because he was afraid of competition. As others have speculated, he may have just felt the need to say something to justify his decision to people who wanted him to go to Michigan.
In any case, bashing a kid who chooses another school, for whatever reason, is pretty classless and reflects poorly on Michigan fans.

|Couldn't agree more
I felt like there was a major shift (and dropoff) from the tone and grandness of the early episodes to the last two, and the finale really felt boring and conventional to me. The dangling air fresheners and the man strapped to the bed seemed like blatant knockoffs of the film Seven, and the buddy-buddy neatness of Marty and Rust coming together in the end as better men just felt like a betrayal of their earlier characters. I loved the series, but really felt let down by the finale.

|* The offense is terrible
We have a top 20 D, and those guys are getting absolutely no help from the other side of the ball. Most of the bad drives against us have come after full quarters or halves of total ineptitude from the offense. My greatest fear is that we somehow look halfway competent against Ohio State, and Borges will get to keep his job one more year.
Success this season is now defined by whether we can get Al Borges off our coaching staff. If he stays, another whole season is lost.

|This kind of rebuttal is overdue.
I'm curious, has anyone seen research supporting the idea that players who quit football after college suffer from the same long-term health consequences as the pros? I'm under the impression the types of health concerns leading to all these rule changes take years to develop, and so mostly affect pros, who are extremely well paid to take such health risks. I don't understand why the media are suddenly up in arms about football players' safety and not talking about all of the other dangerous professions. No one's calling for an end to Alaskan crab fishing, even though the people on Deadliest Catch risk their lives for our entertainment and so we can all enjoy crab, and make a hell of a lot less than the worst-paid pro football player. I understand the desire to protect college players, who are unpaid, but is there any research showing that they're in danger of long-term neurological issues?

A few months ago when all the Bounty-gate stuff was breaking and Saints fans were accusing the NFL and ESPN of "having it out for them," Cowherd went on a rant about how they all sounded just like OSU fans whining about how the NCAA was out to get them regarding the tattoos and Tressel's screw-ups. He then said something long the lines of "Wake up, Saints fans. The NFL isn't out to get you, but they also don't need you. You're new money. You're not the Giants or the Packers. You're not Michigan or Alabama Football. You're Oregon. You're hot now, but no one will care that much if you go away for a while."

I respect Brian's affinity for stats and numbers, but I think this is one of those cases in which they only paint part of the picture.
If he wants to believe that luck is the primary factor that explains the turnover discrepency between RR's teams and team 132, and that "if the season were played 1,000 times" then they would both be a lot closer to the mean, than that's fine. But I don't buy it. Teams practice turnover drills and swarming to the football for a reason.

|Epic deer story
I haven't thought about this in a very long time, but since you've given me the perfect opportunity to wax nostalgic:
During my freshman year I lived at Markley. Late one spring night I ended up very inebriated on north campus (accompanied a girl home who lived up there, was not asked to spend the night) and, since it was a nice evening, I decided to walk home. Because I was a few dozen deep, I also decided to sing to myself to pass the time; I guess my voice sounded cool to me after a case of beer. I was somewhere on Fuller Road near the Arb, singing Neil Young (I think it was "Out on the Weekend" ... I was somber after striking out), when I saw a deer grazing back in the woods. I stopped and watched. The deer watched me back, then walked into the woods. For no logical reason, I decided to follow the deer into the woods (!). After about 50 yards the trees opened up into a little clearing, and I was suddenly in the presence of 15 or 20 deer, of all sexes and ages. They were grazing in small clusters, and regarded me as a curiosity rather than a threat. I was still singing Neil Young, which I was convinced had somehow communicated my benign intentions to the deer, and I decided to sit down against a tree. I stayed for about 10 mins, and the deer basically ignored me. Then I got up and walked back to Markley, where none of my buddies believed my ridiculous story.
No I was not on any pyschotropic substances that night. But yeah, deer on North Campus man ... good times.

This might actually answer some questions about RR's anger after being let go. I wondered why RR was bitter about being fired in January when it seemed like DB had been trying to give the guy every opportunity, including the bowl game, to hold onto his job. Maybe RR was pissed because he realized DB was never going to retain him and had torpedoed his job opps? Still doubtful, but would have been a genius move on DB's part. Also a dick move, and I'd have even more respect for RR for not trashing us after leaving.

Seems to be repeating all the reflexively negative behavior he eplored in the MSM during the RR era. I was a pro-RR guy, but last year we embarassed a lot of bad teams and were equally embarassed by the good ones. Our offense did squat against our best opponents, and the things that did seem to work early in the season, like having Denard take a step and then rifle a quick pass, were not part of our gameplan late in the year. It was frustrating and made no sense.
|4 years 18 weeks ago
Winning more games will improve Denard's Heisman chances more than anything else. He fell off the radar late last year because that "perfect fit" RR offense stalled in the games that mattered most. Do you remember what we looked like offensively against tOSU and Miss State? Heisman winners come from 10, 11, 12-win teams.
|4 years 18 weeks ago
I know the hits you're talking about, but you can't tell me that running the ball 20-25 times a game and taking a lot of hits from interior linemen didn't have any effect on Denard. In boxing only the last punch knocks the guy out, but that doesn't mean the gut punches and jabs earlier in the match didn't contribute.
Of course he could get hurt in any offense and on any play, but I'm looking forward to seeing our numerous running backs take some of that punishment off Denard's plate.

Think DB is definitely showing signs of stress and fatigue. He's taken a lot of shit for this coaching search, obviously riding high on every victory at this point.

|Better for DR's health too
Agree with you, and I feel like the West Coast O would open up both phases of the offense. It seemed last season like every time Denard faked the run and then threw, receivers were absurdly open. Even more absurdly, we didn't seem to take advantage of this fake run/pass as the season wore on. If we have Denard rolling out with the option to pass, or tuck it and embarrass some poor LB, I think the advantage will be to our offense on most plays. Plus Denard will likely take fewer punishing hits on the outside, where he can step out of bounds, as opposed to all the spread option up-the-gut plays that saw him bottled up and sandwiched by four defenders.
And yeah, if he wants to play QB in the NFL, he needs to show he can get the job done in an NFL offense.
|4 years 28 weeks ago
Denard is a true sophomore. Please show me a true sophomore that doesn't have problems cycling through his reads. I seem to remember Cousins having the same sorts of issues last year, and you saw the progress he made this season. I think Denard was on par or better throwing the ball than just about any sophomore QB in the country, and if he makes even half the leap next year that he made between his freshman and sophomore years, his efficiency solely as a passer will be scary. Combine that with his running ability, and a coach that teaches him how to tuck it and run when his receivers aren't open, and he will be absolutely devastating.

|Yes but...
... what Brian writes is going to be interpreted as feeling of a large faction of Michigan fans. If he seems to hate the hire, which is pretty clear when he makes statements like "this is a bad hire," then we're back to where we were during the RR years. We do not want to appear like a "Big House divided." I think it's fine to slam DB for a poor search process if you feel that way, but for general fan morale and enthusiasm, and for the sake of our team, I think it's important for a guy in Brian's position to accentuate the positives.
|4 years 28 weeks ago
|Better for Denard
Does anyone else feel like we weren't always utilizing DR to the best of his abilities? I think he could be even more successful in a slightly tweaked offense, i.e. one that allows him to roll out and scramble on designed pass plays. Under RR, most of Denards runs were up the middle, which almost guarantees a punishing tackle. And when he did roll to the outside, it seemed like RR and offensive coaches told him he HAD to throw the ball, hence his almost non-existent scrambling. I'd like to see Denard throwing and running more on designed roll outs, forcing LBs and DBs to commit to the run or stay back to cover the pass. Auburn, OSU do this all the time, and it seemes to create the biggest mismatch for opposing Ds, but we never used it.

I think expetations play a big role here. If you expect the D to resemble anything like M defenses of yore, you're going to be disappointed. But if you've accepted that the defense is bad and you just want them to do enough to get us a W, then they achieved that against IU. In fact, the defense did more than enough to allow us to win the game. Watching on Saturday, I was a lot more frustrated when our offense continued to go three and out every time our D got a stop in the second half. We couldn't even manage to give them a decent breather. It seemed like we should have won that game 63 to 35, but for whatever reason the offense went into fail mode unless the score was tied. Not sure how to explain that.

These were just the two I cited. Probably the most glaring issue that I didn't mention is that we came in totally flat and almost got beat by an inferior team, and I think it's our coach's job to make sure that doesn't happen.

Agree with you totally that Rodriguez leaving/getting the boot tacks on at least three years of irrelevancy to our stint in purgatory. I think the MSU game is by far the most critical to his staying. If we win 6, and beat little brother, I think he'll have appeased the wolves enough to stick around for another season. I think if we win 7 or fewer, and lose to MSU again, he's gone. An OSU win might change that, but losing 3 in a row to Sparty, including twice at home, will lose Rich his job almost guaranteed.

|Agree about taking away other team's balance
I think we need to be a blitzing machine this year. Our defensive backfield is going to get burned if we don't put pressure on the quarterback (they'll probably get burned anyway). I'd rather see us give up a few long plays but keep the offense on its heels with multiple blitz packages, which I think would lead to more turnovers as well. Can't see us winning any other way then Texas Tech style this year - putting up tons of points and hoping the other guys can't keep up.

|We were consistently good, not great
Michigan brought in a progressive, shake-things-up coach because most fans were tired of going 8-3 or 9-2 and losing to Ohio State. We were consistently one of the best teams in the country, but never (during the last 10 years of Lloyd's tenure) THE best. What we were seems great now, but at the time it was frustrating as hell.
Rodriguez had none of the offensive components he needed to run his system, and it was naivete to believe that he would be able to have success on that side of the ball overnight. I think we'll have one of the most explosive offenses in the Big Ten this year, and if he makes it to next year, I think we'll absolutely dominate on that side of the ball.
That said, I think Rodriguez deserves a lot of blame -- and maybe termination -- for what he's allowed to happen to our defense. It's been worse than pathetic, and I can't see it improving much this year. No matter how touted the recruit, he can't compete with guys that have been on the field for three or four seasons. I think at best we'll look like a Texas Tech team out there this year. Hopefully we'll win more shootouts than we lose. Unless the defense miraculously improves this year, I think Rich Rod detractors have a solid argument.

From the beginning, he reminded me of Justin Boren, that is to say a guy that plays for himself rather than for his school or his teammates. Meanwhile, a quiet kid from Texas with a funny name has been absolutely unwavering in his desire to play for the maize and blue. Let's look at Shavodrick Beaver for a second: he watches Newsome commit in April, and sees the subsequent SI.com article and glamorous weight-room spread, and decides to commit five days later. This is a guy that obviously isn't afraid of a little competition. Even though we've all been gushing over Newsome for months, Shavodrick Beaver has been solid. Now that Newsome is gone we've immediately started talking about Forcier and Smith because their names are a few spots higher on the Rivals QB list. Well, from what I've seen so far, Beaver has already backed down Newsome, and I wouldn't bet against him winning the top QB spot next fall. So c'mon, let's hear it for the Beav! This guy is the type of player we want at Michigan.

Opening night for Encore Productions' final show of the year is this Friday.
The show is a comedy called The Man Who Came to Dinner, which is set in the 1930's and is based on real-life celebrities of that time period. The play is directed by Toni King.
The story follows cranky radio personality Sheridan Whiteside as he dines at the home of the Stanleys, but has a freak accident which leaves him injured. Director Toni King said Whiteside literally takes over the Stanleys' home.
"He has taken over the whole house. He won't let them come in their own living room, he won't let them in the dinning room, and Sheridan has been running up the phone bill having his friends come over and bring him stuff", said King. "He has just taken over the house, and that is where the interesting side stories begin to take place in the show."
Tickets for the event are ten dollars in advance, and fifteen dollars at the door. Group and student tickets for the show are eight dollars.
King said this is a type of show that people might possibly want to watch again.
"I call it a witty show, because most of the humor is coming from what is actually being said", said King. "You might want to come and watch it more than one time, because you might miss something funning because the show is very fast paced."
Opening night is this Friday at the Elbert Theatre, and the show will begin at 7:30pm. Shows are also scheduled for Saturday at 7:30pm and Sunday at 2:30pm.
The play will run through the weekend of December 9th. Shows for that weekend are set for Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm, and again on Sunday at 2:30pm.
For more information about the show, or to purchase advance tickets, contact the Elbert Theatre Box Office at (706) 283-1049.

Men's Soccer: WVU Adds Raskasky
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Coach Marlon LeBlanc has announced the addition of Nick Raskasky (Tacoma, Wash.) to the West Virginia University men's soccer program. The freshman is enrolled at WVU this spring 2012 semester.
"I'm excited to welcome Nick to the Mountaineer family," LeBlanc says. "Nick is an excellent prospect and we expect him to make an immediate impact in our program. He's a good player, a good student and most importantly he has good character. All of those ingredients will surely lead to a successful career."
Raskasky was most recently a member of the Seattle Sounders FC Academy, playing for coaches Dick McCormick and Sean Henderson as a right back.
"We are very happy for Nick and his new adventure at West Virginia," says Darren Sawatzky Director of Seattle Sounders FC Youth Development. "This opportunity is a testament to a lot of hard work and perseverance from a young man over the past couple of years."
Previously, Raskasky was a member of Crossfire Premier Soccer Club (2009-2010) and Washington Premier FC (2006-08). With Washington Premier FC, Raskasky was a 2008 USYSA state championship finalist, as well as winning the Surf Cup and state championship in 2007. The team was also a USYSA Region IV semifinalist in 2007.
He also was a member of the Washington Olympic Development Program team and attended the Region IV camps from 2006-09, winning the Region IV Championship in 2009. Raskasky also attended the Nike Friendship Cup in 2006 and 2009, along with the Colorado Showcase in 2007.
As a four-year starter at forward for coach John Baretta at Stadium High, Raskasky was a state semifinalist in 2011 and a quarterfinalist in 2009. Raskasky also led the squad to a 2009 Narrows League championship.
West Virginia finished the 2011 season with an 11-8-1 record, 6-3-0 in BIG EAST play. The Mountaineers advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament for the second consecutive season and return 73 of its 81 points from last season.

Cutting boards come in many varieties, but the two basic are wood and plastic. Care and maintenance for each type of board is different depending on the material used to make the board.
Wood Cutting Boards
Coat the board in mineral oil. It is best to do this upon purchase. Warm (NOT hot) oil works best. Let it soak in and apply additional coats if necessary. This acts as a sealant for the wood to prevent bacteria from getting in. It also prevents the wood from splitting. Avoid using vegetable or olive oil, as they have a tendency to turn rancid over time. Mineral oil should be reapplied after prolonged use. Depending on how often you use your cutting board, this time could vary. When the wood starts to look lighter, re-coat in mineral oil.
Avoid submerging in water when cleaning. Soaking or submerging often leads to water damage. The board should be cleaned with warm/hot soapy water and then dried immediately. Make sure the board is completely dry before storing.
Store in a dry place in an upright position. Moisture makes your cutting board a breeding ground for bacteria. Humidity can also warp your cutting boards over time. Storing upright prevents moisture from staying on the board. Cutting board racks are perfect for storing boards in the proper position.
Brush it clean when not in use. By keeping it clean, you can retain the life of your peel. Crumbs, melted cheese and sauce can collect on the peel and will make the surface uneven.
Avoid bleach. While you want your board to be clean, hot soapy water should do the trick. Wood has an adverse reaction to bleach, so avoid using it. A vinegar solution (3 Tbsp per cup of water) can be used to knock out odors caused by foods like onions and garlic. » See all Wood Cutting Boards
Plastic Cutting Boards
Clean with warm soapy water. Most plastic cutting boards are nonporous, which means that bacteria will not seep inside the board. Despite this fact, it is still very important to clean the board after each use. Plastic cutting boards are more stain resistant than wood cutting boards.
Avoid the dishwasher. Though plastic boards are generally dishwasher safe, the water in most dishwashers is hot enough to warp a plastic board.
Store in a dry place in an upright position. After cleaning and patting dry, hang the board or stand it up to dry. This prevents the retention of moisture and thus prevents the build up of bacteria. » See all Plastic Cutting Boards
When to Replace
If your cutting board does not lay flat when used as a cutting surface, you run the risk of injuring yourself while cutting. Once a cutting board warps and can no longer lay flat, it is time to replace it.
Keep an eye on the condition of your cutting board. If it starts to develop deep cuts in the wood or plastic, it is time to replace the board. The deep cuts and nicks are a breading ground for bacteria. While the steps above will increase the life of your board, it is still important to replace boards when needed.

UCONN won the national champinship last year with a record of 32-9. They tied for 9th in the Big East. A top seeding is helpful but what matters most is you get hot at the right time and have the right match ups in the NCAA's. The NCAA Tourney is a combination of luck, talent and matchups.
I don't get Brandon. All that talent.
Duke loss and Baylor loss twice this week. It happens. Just peek for the tournament
Duke loss and Baylor loss twice this week. It happens. Just peek for the tournament
Forget the loss and get ready for Monday.
Shooting was horrific and rebounding with no second chance shots caught up to them. Everyone seemed like they were lost. ND game plan did exactly what everyone knew could beat the orange. Half court offense and poor shooting is a concern.
I'm sure other schools have the same issues. SU reported it.
I would like to know why Bobby Davis didn't get an attorney and turn the tape over to SPD?
Mark Schwarz and Bill seem pretty tight based on the video on ESPN. No idea what happened but the way ESPN is presenting this is nuts
Mark Schwarz and Bill seem pretty tight based on the video on ESPN. No idea what happened but the way ESPN is presenting this is nuts
Umm there are a couple of new videos on ESPN's website. In one Mark Scwharz said he just received a text from the DA. Huh? Really?
Umm there are a couple of new videos on ESPN's website. In one Mark Scwharz said he just received a text from the DA. Huh? Really?
The problem with this situation is that it is being played out through the media. Not one person who has posted on here knows the truth. The accusers should of hired a lawyer and contacted the SPD and/or the DA's office. If they didn't get satisfactory results then perhaps they could of gone to the media. I don't have any idea what happened and neither do any of you. I do feel ESPN showed a slight lack of journalistic judgment in the way this was presented.
I have mixed feelings on all of this but now that its a done deal would love to see CUSE and UCONN go to the ACC and dominate. Screw the ACC, show em what it was like to play in the Big East and play Big East style basketball. Wonder how the refs will respond? Oh and BTW Syracuse will NEVER be a football school. We are a basketball school.
I understand something had to be done but that doesn't mean I have to like it. What is disturbing is the current state of college athletics is hardly collegiate. The university presidents, athletic directors, league commissioners, and NCAA are all a bunch of hypocrites who are whores to the almighty dollar. It's sad that it has gone so overboard. It's not collegiate anymore - it's professional sports. Wish they would just admit it.
Syracuse will never be a big time BCS football program. Now it will jeopardize the status of it's premier basketball program.
Does SU Football really bring in that much money? Hell we have more fans at a basketball game than a football game.
I am a season ticket holder for both basketball and football. Basketball is my favorite sport. For everyone saying how important football is, the program is coming back and we can't even get 35K fans in the dome. Syracuse is a basketball school. ACC football sucks as bad as the Big East and if you think Florida State isn't leaving you are nuts. Soooo, we will still be in bad football conference at the expense of basketball. Good bye Big Monday games on ESPN. Can't wait to play those ACC conference tourney games 5 minutes from the Duke and North Carolina campuses. This sucks.

The Big Screen: The Story of the Movies (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), by David Thomson
A treat for the film fan who already knows his Murnau from his Eisenstein, David Thomsons reflections on movies and their impact is a tart challenge to people who think the cinema began with their first box of popcorn.
As Thomson notes, his look back at more than a century of movies is personal and reflective. It is indeed full of opinions, but none that demand agreement to the point of being a turnoff. They are there, he writes, to urge you into your own.
The Big Screen is dense with movie stories that serve as history as well as the basis for discerning films ongoing impact. Its fitting that Thomson explores the lives and works of inventors, directors, actors and producers given that cinema is driven by narrative.
F.W. Murnau was a German filmmaker (the vampire film Nosferatu, 1922) brought to the U.S. by studio chief William Fox to keep up with the studios that had German geniuses of their own. The result was Sunrise (1927), a silent made at the dawn of the talkies that still draws a top spot in greatest film lists. Murnau had little time to enjoy his success, dead in a car accident three films and four years later.
Success in America eluded Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein, who drew Hollywoods attention after combining art and politics in movies like Strike (1924) and Battleship Potemkin (1925). For months he knocked around town, playing tennis with Charlie Chaplin, watching Greta Garbo work, even palling around with Rin Tin Tin. But he never could get a project going with patron studio MGM its brand of entertainment not being Eisensteins stock and trade.
Good storytelling about the movies cannot overlook American figures like Orson Welles, Howard Hawks and Billy Wilder or fine foreign directors like Ingmar Bergman and Francois Truffaut. Or those modern marvels Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.
Thomson casts a quizzical light on those two kings of contemporary Hollywood, willing to acknowledge their talent for making popular entertainment but not at all sold on their impact on culture and film. He writes that the second half of the Lucas Star Wars series reduced movies to the level of fast food, filling stations and those ads that are so familiar that we chat along with them.
Thomsons reflections begin to turn dour after they pass the movies of the 1970s. Or is it that moviemaking began to lose its colorful backstories and became more about colorless deal-making and commerce?
Near the conclusion of The Big Screen, Thomson writes, This book is a love letter to a lost love, I suppose. Not that there are no longer movies he thinks are worth seeing. Its just that how we see them, how they see us, and how we live with all kinds of screens have changed the entire movie experience.
For better or for worse? Read The Big Screen and discuss.

|Facial Toner
|IQ Derma
|Meaningful Beauty
DermaExcel 7 is a "botox alternative" that was developed by Janson Beckett Cosmeceuticals. DermaExcel 7 claims to be the "most aggressive spot wrinkle treatment" on the market that firms, protects, and repairs your skin. Janson Beckett is most widely known for its product AlphaDerma CE, which is fairly popular in the anti-aging product category. Janson Beckett has been around for over 30 years and offers a wide range of beauty products available on their official website.
DermaExcel 7 is a combination of three peptides that may work together to help eliminate fine lines and wrinkles. These three peptides are Argireline, Leuphasyl, and HeptaPeptide, also known as Snap-7. Each one of these ingredients is fairly common in anti-wrinkle serums but they are not usually found together in one product.
Product Details
DermaExcel 7 is a peptide based anti-aging serum that was developed primarily for people suffering from deep wrinkles and fine lines. This product actually seems to be a product made to compliment AlphaDerma CE. The official website says many times that you should use DermaExcel 7 after you use AlphaDerma CE for the best results possible. The peptides in DermaExcel 7 have a pretty good track record. Argireline is a very popular facial muscle relaxer, Leuphasyl is very similar to Argireline and may work well with it, and Snap-7 is yet another muscle relaxer. This seems like a potent combination that might work very well in the area of wrinkle reduction.
The official DermaExcel website is loaded with information on each active ingredient complete with charts and graphs. The full ingredients list is available which is very nice, and there are plenty of testimonials posted. All of the products on the site come with a 60-day money back guarantee.
The Good
- DermaExcel 7 contains Argireline, a proven wrinkle fighter, and two similar ingredients.
- The manufacturer has a 60-day money back guarantee on all of their products.
The Bad
- We aren't sure how well all of the active ingredients work together.
- Very expensive. One ounce will cost you $129.99.
- Some of the product description is a little too technical for your average consumer.
The Bottom Line
DermaExcel 7 seems like it has taken the popular ingredient Argireline and improved upon it. This is good news for the anti-aging world but this product lacks in a few key areas. This product doesn't seem to contain a powerful hydrator, and it also contains five different parabens. Parabens aren't recommended for long-time use because they may cause skin irritation or other problems over time. While we really like the use of the Argireline-like ingredients, we wish this product contained some skin tighteners and moisturizers as well. We recommend looking for a cheaper product that contains a moisturizer, tightener, and a relaxer for maximum effect.

If you're thinking about buying a 16GB Galaxy S4, you should probably think again: Samsung's entry-level superphone, despite being labeled as a 16GB device, comes with just 8.8GB of free storage — or about 55% of the listed 16GB.

Toddler found in pond critical
A Kittrell toddler found in a pond near D&G Lane remained in critical condition Wednesday, two days after being transported by Life Flight helicopter to Duke University Medical Center.
Vance County Sheriff's Office deputies rushed to 199 D&G Lane on a call indicating a possible drowning. Maj. Joseph Ferguson indicated in a written response to questions that an investigation of the incident revealed 20-month-old Zachary Edwards had wandered away from the residence not long before.
According to Ferguson, investigators believe Edwards fell into the pond that was in "very close proximity to the home."
His mother located the toddler shortly after, and was able to retrieve the child from the pond. Family members made the call to 911.
Edwards was first transported to Maria Parham Medical Center by ambulance before a decision was made to transport him on to Duke.
Ferguson confirmed on Wednesday that Edwards, "remains in critical condition."
He did not specify any injuries.
Ferguson added that an ongoing investigation remains open in the case, noting, "however evidence indicates the incident was accidental."

Women's groups invest in social economy and economic justice; examples from Guatemala, Senegal and Botswana
Saturday, April 21, 2012 - 11:30 am-1:00 pm
See AWID's Daily program for April 21st
Presented by: Uniterra
Reinforcing women's economic power is a growing concern for women's organizations. The influence that the economy has over our lives and destinies cannot be ignored, especially when it comes to the fights for the recognition of women's rights, against sexual violence, and women's political participation. Women are aware that strategically it is important to invest in these areas of action and to ensure they are not only financially independent, but also to increase their power to make economic choices and decisions. Women's groups have supported various economic initiatives and alternatives, which are found in cooperative or social economy movements. In Senegal or Botswana, women in rural and urban areas organized themselves around economic activities, and women who have been victims of violence found their dignity and set out on the long road towards empowerment. In Guatemala, aboriginal women joined forces and demand greater economic justice.
The session aims to bring together women advocates engaged in actions related to women's economic empowerment and the overall fight for women's rights and for more power for women. We will reflect on strategies that can be developed to ensure that the economic alternatives proposed by women can help to change the unequal relationships that exist between men and women in developed and developing countries, and in local and globalized economies. We will also analyze concrete experiences and identify the conditions needed to launch viable, strategic and sustainable initiatives.

Women Work: Strategic alliances to transform Sri Lanka's tea sector
Thursday, April 19, 2012 - 1:00-2:00 pm
See AWID's program for April 19th
Presented by World University Service of Canada
Similar to many of the key issues faced by women workers the world over, Sri Lanka's tea plantation workers reality includes unequal access to and control over resources, male dominated power structures, violence at home and the workplace, and poor working conditions with little recourse among many others. These realities are experienced in the context of ethnic inequalities and remnants of colonial past. Innovative strategies and alliance building are being used to transform power in the tea plantation sector.
The panel will share the process from three different but complementary perspectives. They will address the challenges, the lessons learned and the successes with the aim of stimulating discussion amongst the participants about potential to replicate aspects of the project in other industries and/or countries. Panelists will also touch on challenges this approach may cause.
Plantation Communities Project (PCP) is a successful development initiative underway in the highlands of Sri Lanka. The project works with women workers, the communities and the estates (both managers and CEOs) to collaboratively identify key issues and come up with innovative solutions. Establishing and strengthening women's groups and women's voices, they are transforming the sector: inclusion of women as supervisors, paying women directly for their work, productivity bonuses, establishment of savings cooperatives to give them better access to resources, community health projects including alcohol harm reduction programs, and community mobilization to promote unity as a means to address ethnic tension (between Tamil estate workers and Sinhala villagers).

The past few months have been extremely busy ones for me, (Castor & Pollux in Sydney, a New Year's Eve concert in Pittsburgh, Falstaff at the Sydney Opera House, and the birth of my daughter!) but I simply had to take this opportunity to alert everyone in the DC area about Washington Concert Opera's performance of Donizetti's MARIA STUARDA tonight, at Lisner Auditorium at 6pm. We have a stunning cast: Georgia Jarman, Brenda Harris, Michael Spyres, Patrick Carfizzi, Troy Cook and Alexandra Loutsion, and it has been a particularly joyful 10 days of rehearsal with the principals, chorus and orchestra.
One of the things that I really love about my work with WCO is that I have been able to create a wonderful, close-knit team around me. Not only by my choice of singers and instrumentalists, but also with our wonderful staff, volunteers, board and donors. I think that our audience can tell that we all enjoy making music together, as well as presenting gems of the bel canto period to our very loyal, knowledgeable and passionate group of our subscribers and supporters.
This will be a real feast of bel canto singing: beautiful voices, elegant phrasing, expressive ornamentation and passionate characterizations. Our orchestra sounds like another character in the drama, and our chorus has been working on really beautiful colors in their big number in the final scene.
Don't just take my word for it, though, do come along to Lisner tonight, and experience it live…
More information about MARIA STUARDA can be found on the WCO website:
In case you hadn't noticed, I'm quite excited to be conducting this tonight!

immediate responses that guide providers in performing interventions that are based on practice guidelines. The LDS Hospital has a highly advanced information system that maintains each patient's medication records and warns the pharmacy of potential drug interactions or allergic reactions. It also suggests medications for specific patients on the basis of prescription guidelines and current indicators such as white cell count, fever, and results of microbiological cultures and roentgenograms. In the case of emerging infections, the system also alerts the physician to infections caused by multiple-drug-resistant organisms or to a prescription that is at odds with what would normally be prescribed.
The goal of the system is flexible, informed decision making. The system includes bedside monitors that provide monographs on formulary antibiotics, as well as each nursing unit's history of nosocomial infections and the susceptibility patterns of the strains that caused those infections. An outpatient model provides guidance for the treatment of otitis media, pharyngitis, and urinary tract infections based on the cost of antimicrobial agents adjusted for patient-specific factors such as height, weight, and renal function. All of this is designed to make the system easy to use and thus promote its use; physicians, for example, find that it has greatly simplified the task of prescribing antibiotics.
Analysis of practice over the past 11 years at LDS Hospital indicates that the proportion of patients receiving antibiotics has increased from 32 to 54 percent, which may represent LDS Hospital's rising role as the main referral center for a 23-hospital system. However, the number of patients receiving antibiotics does not adequately reflect the antibiotic exposure of this population. Further analysis shows that the number of defined daily doses per 1,000 patient-days has decreased by 40 percent and that the cost of medication declined from $122 to $52 per antibiotic-treated patient over the same period. In addition, the incidence of adverse drug events due to antibiotics has declined by 60 to 70 percent, and there has been little change in the levels of antibiotic resistance. The research question being pursued is whether surveillance and monitoring have affected antibiotic resistance. The hope is that patient-specific use of information will stabilize antibiotic resistance and lead to a more sophisticated type of informed decision making, one that will control costs as well as prevent the emergence or reemergence of antibiotic resistance.
Presented by Richard Dixon, M.D., FACP
Medical Director, National Independent Practice Association Coalition
If surveillance for emerging and changing infection trends is to be effective, diagnoses must be accurate, reported in a standardized manner, and monitored. Sources of information on infections include voluntary reports of clinical diag-

A severe thunderstorm raging outside could not dampen the excitement as the 87 Carvers Bay High School seniors of the Class of 2014 received their diplomas June 5.
The ceremony in the schools gymnasium was delayed by about 10 minutes after the storm caused a momentary power outage. It took several minutes for the lights in the gym to warm back up.
After the ceremony got underway, the welcome was given by salutatorian Spencer Owens who talked about his love for his fellow students during his speech.
You are all special in your own unique way, he said. I love you all.
Owens, who is a member of a southern gospel singing group, peppered his speech with scripture, Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8: 28.
After his prepared remarks, he did something he told the crowd was not rehearsed.
I do love you guys. You are my family, he said. He then spent his final minute of his time at the podium praying for his classmates, their families and the staff of Carvers Bay.
The prayer drew a round of applause, a standing ovation and cheers that drowned out the rolling thunder from the storm outside.
After the ceremony, Owens said he had given Principal Richard Neal notice that he may possibly include a prayer in his speech.
Valedictorian Laja Wright was overcome with emotion as she took to the microphone for her speech.
One reason was because she dedicated her speech not only to her parents, but to her grandfather, Ervin Wright, who passed away in January.
The Carvers Bay top student said he is her inspiration for wanting to go into the medical field.
During her speech, Wright quoted from Maya Angelou.
People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel, Wright quoted Angelou.
She capsulated her days in elementary, middle and high school and then said she is proud to be a part of the class of 2014.
She also urged her classmates to follow their dreams.
Our passions and dreams make us all unique individuals, she said. We must never forget where we come from or the people who have supported us.

Excellent food, the same quality you get in Saravaas in Tamilnadu!
Posted by foodie on 10/05/2005
The first time I ordered masala dosa, the server brought a plain dosa and suggested I start eating. He said the potato filling were being prepared - he'd bring it when it was ready (saw the same thing happen to another couple). People familiar with this cuisine will understand how absurd the suggestion is. It's like ordering spaghetti w/meatballs only to be told to eat spaghetti while the meatballs are being prepared. Not wanting to write this place off, I went back. This time our entrees arrived at a gap of 8-10 minutes which when you're hungry is a long time. The last time, it was a repeat performance of the first time. I left thinking the poor customer service and the dazed servers are too much of an annoyance to ever go back.

I enjoyed eating at Saravanaas . You really get the taste of South Indian food here . It is a purely Veg restaurant and good for the health too. All the cooks are very expirienced and I feel like I am in Madras in India when eating here . I really like the place much . Wishing the Saravanaas group a grand success
Posted by Eater1 on 09/27/2005
I love South Indian Vegetarian food. We went for Sunday brunch. I have eaten many times at their Mountain View CA location, and comparing the two, the NY branch fell short on the food quality and menu selections. CA place gives 3 chutneys with all dosas plus sambar or rasam, but this NY branch just does sambar and 1 chutney. Do try their Madras coffee- its very nice. Our order took a very long time to arrive and I had to remind them 5 times to bring the coffee, but they were quite nice about it and said that they were running short on staff and apologized.

I ate here for lunch the first time last week. I had a truly wonderful dish with malasa-seasoned potatoes, peas, and onions wrapped in a large crepe. But the dish cost over $8--too much for potatoes. I would go back here for dinner when I'm prepared to spend a little more, but not again for lunch. Everything else--atmosphere, service--is nice but not extravagant. If it was cheaper, I'd be raving about this joint.

My boy-friend and I were looking for an indian restaurant walking up the Lex. This place has a very nice decor, simple and stylish. Good space, it doesn't hit you with the noise. We were there quite early - around 5.30pm on Saturday. The place got quite busy by 6 pm. there were couple of big groups with babys/kids. Our waiter was awesome - explained us the menu. Menu is priced fairly, better than what you would get in midtown or uptown. Wine/beer list was a nice surprise, very reasonably priced! All wines $22 a bottle or $6 a glass. Not many places in the city, which do that... Food was tasty, service was very fast. The only minus I could see so far is that tables are quite small, which I guess is normal for Manhattan. Overall, I recommend to check out this place!
Posted by Raj on 07/15/2005
The restaurant was scheduled to open Sept 04. It finally opened last week. It was worth the wait - The food was delicious, service was excellent and atmosphere better than most restaurant in this area. I recommend the South Indian thali (Authentic!).
