The power of citizenshipFebruary 14,2013
In his State of the Union address on Tuesday President Obama dared Republican lawmakers to vote no on gun control legislation. The stirring culmination of his speech cited numerous victims of gun violence from recent years, many of whom were in the room, saying, They deserve a vote.
In a way his entire address shared that bold and unapologetic approach: Here are my proposals. I dare you to vote no. Most Republicans want no part of the Obama program, but after winning re-election by a decisive margin last year, Obama senses that the American people are with him. Indeed, he and the American people are pushing the Republican Party into a corner where every no vote compounds their irrelevance.
Obama has begun to challenge the conventional wisdom that has dominated politics in the past four years that reducing the deficit is priority number one for Washington. He said that a combination of spending cuts and higher taxes has already taken the government halfway toward a $4 trillion deficit reduction target, and the economic news continues to underscore his point. A recent story in The New York Times reported that growth in health care costs is slowing so dramatically that projections of future deficits are coming down sharply. Another story reported that the federal deficit in 2013 will fall below $1 trillion for the first time in five years.
Thus, Obama does not accept the need to decimate federal programs for the sake of deficit reduction. Instead, he continues to propose a balanced approach to the budget, including spending cuts and the closing of tax loopholes benefiting the wealthy.
His emphasis was on programs to bolster the middle class, partly by lifting struggling citizens into the middle class. He called for a higher minimum wage that would be indexed of inflation as a sure way of helping millions of people rise out of poverty and reducing the government support that impoverished workers depend on. In essence, he was calling for an end to the government subsidy enjoyed by businesses who get away paying poverty wages because they know government will step in to fill the wage gap.
Freed from excessive fear of deficits, Obama was able to call for important new spending on infrastructure, including 70,000 structurally deficient bridges, which would create jobs, stimulate the economy and meet the nations long-term need. He continues to champion the importance of education, from pre-kindergarten to higher education. And he is committed to the energy innovations that will help us address the looming problem of climate change.
Obama challenged Congress to get serious about their duties, saying that the massive automatic budget cuts slated to take effect at the end of the month would do serious harm to the economy and cost jobs. The American people have come to understand that the continuing self-inflicted budget crises of recent years have been the product of Republican blackmail. Obama didnt dare the Republicans to wreck the economy; rather, he warned them not to.
The world is different than the one he confronted when he took office four years ago. Together, we have cleared away the rubble of crisis, he said Tuesday night. The Republican Party had tried to use the crisis to force through a radical anti-government agenda, and now that the crisis has mostly passed the appeal of their hostility to government has faded.
Still, high unemployment lingers, as well as the stagnation of middle class wages and gross economic disparities between the rich and everyone else. Obamas speech ended with words extolling the power of citizenship his belief that we all have a stake in the common good and a responsibility to one another. As citizens we are called on to participate as voters, as workers, as community members, as family members. His programs are designed to encourage participation to make work pay, to make it easier to vote and to lift the shadow of violence and poverty from our families and communities. It is a positive vision put forward by a president emboldened by the backing of the voters. Congress should not be timid about embracing it.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

Ambition, scruples ensnare the 'Filthy Rich'
With its second-person point of view and its nearly cradle-to-grave arc, reading Mohsin Hamid's "How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia" is like being deeply immersed in a text-based role-playing game - only it's the kind of game Leo Tolstoy might have written, clear-eyed in its dissection of human folly, ambition and love.
Hamid, also the author of "The Reluctant Fundamentalist," casts this novel as a self-help book, speaking directly to an unnamed boy, then man, who wants to get rich in an unnamed country, presumably Hamid's native Pakistan. In doing so he satirizes both the self-help genre and the rags-to-riches tales coming out of contemporary Asia, suggesting that such fortunes, like those of many of America's great robber barons, were built on crimes, opportunism and the occasional well-placed bribe: »Read Full Article

Tiptree Award goes to Kiernan novel, Salaam collection
Caitlin R. Kiernan's novel "The Drowning Girl: A Memoir" and Kiini Ibura Salaam's story collection "Ancient, Ancient" have been named winners of the annual James Tiptree Jr. Award, presented each Memorial Day weekend at the WisCon sci-fi convention in Madison.
Founded in 1991, the Tiptree is a literary prize awarded by a jury each year for "science fiction or fantasy that expands or explores our understanding of gender." Its title comes from the masculine pen name of the late Alice B. Sheldon, who wrote excellent science fiction under the Tiptree name. When the sci-fi world discovered that the presumed male Tiptree was a female writer, a lot of discussion followed. »Read Full Blog Post

Jewel, Queensryche to perform greatest hits at Potawatomi

Most everyone is bound to get osteoarthritis -- if they live long enough. That old saying among arthritis experts is backed up by the numbers. The painful and often debilitating joint condition is the most common form of arthritis. It affects at least 27 million Americans, and one form -- knee osteoarthritis -- may afflict as many as 1 in 2 people at some point in their lives. Obesity, joint injuries, joint overuse, a family history and simply aging are among risk factors. To mark World Arthritis Day on Oct. 12, Mayo ClinicrheumatologistShreyasee Amin, M.D., and orthopedic surgeonAaron Krych, M.D., offer these tips for preventing and coping with osteoarthritis:
Prevention: Achieve a healthy weight to take a load off your joints.
"Every pound lost can result in up to a 4-pound reduction in the load on the knee," Dr. Amin says.
Other prevention tips: Do exercises to strengthen muscles around joints and preserve your range of motion; use assistive devices such as special grips to open jars and protect finger joints or knee braces or a cane to ease the burden on your knees; maintain overall fitness through low-impact aerobic exercises, such as bicycling and water exercises; and, if you are an athlete, learn techniques to protect your muscles and joints.
"Many people who injure their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are at risk of developing post-traumatic osteoarthritis. The best strategy is to prevent ACL injuries by participating in screening and prevention programs, especially for high-risk athletes," says Dr. Krych, who with other Mayo researchers is taking part in an Arthritis Foundation-funded study to analyze damaged knee cartilage after ACL injuries, before osteoarthritis sets in.
Coping: Water-based exercises such as swimming, walking in water and water aerobics are good ways to get a workout while taking it easy on joints, such as your knees. Tai chi and yoga can strengthen muscles and help maintain balance. Walking, taking care to wear shoes that provide proper cushioning and insoles for your type of osteoarthritis, is another exercise option.
"It could be good to meet with a physical therapist to get a tailored exercise program," Dr. Amin says. "If you're able to do exercises that you enjoy, you're more likely to do them."
Making adjustments to your home and workplace may help with daily tasks. Depending on your osteoarthritis issues, an ergonomic computer keyboard and mouse may make a difference. If osteoarthritis is making life difficult at home or work, making a list of those challenges and working with an occupational therapist can help, Dr. Amin suggests.
Dr. Krych notes evidence that heavy lifting may further harm an arthritic knee. If you must lift heavy objects, he suggests using the following technique:
*Lift with your legs, not your back. Bend at the knees, never at the waist. *Position feet shoulder-width apart, and stand as close as possible to the object you're lifting. *Contract your abdominal muscles and breathe out when you lift, to support your back. *Hold the object close to your body as you lift. *Don't twist or bend while lifting a heavy object.
If your job involves frequent heavy lifting, balance training, body mechanics training, coordination exercises or posture stabilization work may be helpful to maintain range of motion and improve flexibility, strength and endurance, Dr. Krych says.

Paxfest honors newborn whose life was cut short by cancer
Paxton Andrews' parents thought their newborn had a cold when they took him to the pediatrician. Sadly, it turned out that he had cancer. He died just shy of 5 months old.
His parents, John and Danna, who live in Bay View, decided to honor his memory last year with the inaugural Paxfest, which featured local bands including Fever Marlene and Maritime and food from Maxie's Southern Comfort and Blue's Egg. The event raised more than $15,000 for the Pablove Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to funding pediatric cancer research co-founded by Milwaukee native and Elektra Records president Jeff Castelaz, and named after his late son Pablo. »Read Full Article

More businesses turn to crowd-funding to raise cashJeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Musician Dave Keller plays the guitar in his Montpelier home on Friday. Keller recently used the crowd- funding site Kickstarter to help finance a recording project with other top-level talent.
Montpelier musician Dave Keller needed $12,500 to produce an album of blues guitar music in Memphis. Dori Ross in Waitsfield wanted to move her maple products-based operation out of her garage to a commercial kitchen but needed $14,000 to make the move. Walter Jeffries in Orange needed to expand his pig farming business by adding an on-site slaughterhouse. The cost was at least $25,000.
Each of these entrepreneurs looked beyond traditional ways of raising cash bank loans, a Small Business Administration loan or an angel investor to a growing but relatively new source of finance known as crowd-funding. By harnessing the expanse of social media to reach out beyond their local communities and local banks, each has been able to reach financial goals and beyond.
Vermonters who have used crowd-funding to raise cash say this technique can be rewarding financially but is often hard work requiring many hours of preparation and outreach, as well as personal creativity in building their online campaign.
Keller, Ross and Jeffries, as well as other Vermonters, have relied on Kickstarter, a crowd-funding website that has become very popular. It caters to artists, nonprofits, and small business owners. While it is perhaps the best known of the new crowd-funding websites, others such as gofundme.com, indiegogo, crowdrise.com, equitynet.com, ipo village, ifundy.com, and rupee.us do essentially the same thing. They help people raise money. They also charge a fee for their service. In the Kickstarter model, it is 10 percent of the funds raised.
Crowd-funding has grown with the rise of social media such as Facebook, Linked-in and other sites where millions of people can gather to exchange ideas, photos, music etc. People are asked to donate a defined amount of money for a specific cause or project in exchange for various rewards.
Crowd-funding falls under three areas: equity, donation and debt. The equity-based model asks a crowd to donate to a business or project in exchange for equity. Donation-based crowd-funding asks to donate in exchange for tangible, non-monetary, rewards such as an e-card, T-shirt, pre-released CD, or the finished product. The debt-based model asks for donations in exchange for financial return and/or interest at a future date. The businesses interviewed for this article each used the donation-based approach on their Kickstarter campaign.
While crowd-funding can help a small business expand, it has some limitations. By advertising for funding ideas, you are exposed to potential copycats. The site may limit the amount of funds one can receive, and there are issues with regulations and taxation that are still being worked out.
Keller raised $15,000 for his recording. Kickstarter helped him bypass record companies to whom he would then be beholden, which means having to do it their way. By raising funds this way, Keller says the process of recording becomes revolutionary. It eliminates the record company, the middleman. He offered reward packages at different levels of donation to his fund raising campaign. About 75 percent of donations came from Vermonters but he had to do a lot of social media work on Facebook and through his email lists to get people to donate.
I looked at all sources of funding including angel investors and banks but I was too nervous to put my house up as collateral, said Ross about her crowd-funding experience. I was looking for funding to support the business, for inventory and equipment to purchase, and hoped to move into a commercial facility. She declined an angel investor offer because she didnt want to give up equity this early in the development.
Ross raised $15,000. This approach is a great way to raise funds and not give up equity. She, too, offered a variety of promotional packages to those who donated to her campaign.
According to Ross, contributors included people who knew her and family members, but also people who support many campaigns people she called Kickstarter groupies. They want a closer connection to the product or company, she explained. Donations came from as far away as Australia. Two backers pledged $400.
Jeffries, who owns Sugar Mountain Farm, said he began the search for funding for his slaughterhouse in 2008. The bad economy did not help him as he looked for funding. I have had many bank loans and paid them all back in a timely manner over the past three decades. But this time I got an almost uniform answer, We are not lending to new or expanding businesses at this time, he explained.
Jeffries said the campaign was a lot of work. He suggests that anyone doing a Kickstarter project do their own marketing and get the word out as they do not provide much in the way of support or marketing. It is really just a platform.
In Jeffries estimation, a bank loan is simpler and easier, provided the banks are lending. However, he added, the Kickstarter model does work and if needed I might do it again.
The Big Picture Theater in Waitsfield needed $120,000 to change from film to digital projection and raised $25,000 on Kickstarter. Co-owner Claudia Becker said the process was extremely easy, user friendly and a great way to communicate to donors. Also, people are familiar with the format, know it has supported many great projects, and has a high success rate. Crowd-funding is a modern form of barn raising where the community came together to build something for the future.
By raising more than $25,000 in a campaign that needs $120,000 for all improvements she is able to save nearly a quarter of the total amount in loan payments.
Rob Williams raised over $8,100 to create YakItToMe! a Vermont Yak Mobile BBQ Food cart. Crowd-funding, its a powerful way to use the new web to support creative and entrepreneurial projects, he said.
Williams believes crowd-funding has become a new way to raise money in the new media age. If there are any problems with this model, he says its transparency. You have to trust the money you give will be spent appropriately.MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

"To Stay Ahead of China, Stay Engaged in Asia"
Policy Brief, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
January 2012
Author: Michael Beckley, Former Research Fellow, International Security Program, 20112012
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security; Quarterly Journal: International Security
This policy brief is based on "China's Century? Why America's Edge Will Endure," which appears in the winter 2011/12 issue of International Security.
- China Is Not Catching Up. The United States is now wealthier, more innovative, and more militarily powerful compared to China than it was in 1991.
- Globalization and Hegemony Help Sustain the United States' Lead. Globalization allows U.S. firms to specialize in high-value activities, exploit innovations created in other countries, and attract high-quality human capital. Hegemony not only impedes China's attempts to balance against the United States, but also helps the United States compel other countries to subsidize the U.S. military and economy and contribute to international security and commerce.
- Stay the Course in Asia. The United States should maintain deep economic ties with Asian countries, including China, and a robust diplomatic and military presence in the region.
Despite the hype about the rise of China, current power trends favor continued U.S. dominance. National power has three main material components: wealth, innovation, and military power. Over the last twenty years, China has fallen further behind the United States in all of these areas.
Wealth: Today the average Chinese citizen is $17,000 poorer relative to the average American than he was in 1991. Moreover, China's debt-to-GDP ratio is much higher, perhaps twice as high, as the United States'. China narrowed the gap in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) and will likely overtake the United States as the world's largest economy sometime between 2015 and 2040. What matters for national power, however, is not gross wealth, but net wealththe wealth left over after people are clothed and fed. China's 1.3 billion people produce a large volume of output, but they also consume most of it immediately, leaving little left over for national purposes. For this reason, GDP has never been an accurate measure of national power. In 1870, Britain ruled a quarter of the globe, but its GDP was half the size of China's (in the midst of its "century of humiliation") and dwarfed by India's, a country that Britain colonized. This dominance stemmed not from the absolute size of Britain's economy, but from its superior level of economic development, measured in terms of per capita income, which was the highest in the world and six times higher than China's and India's. Today, U.S. per capita income is six times higher than China's and rising.
Innovation: Since 1991, China has significantly increased its volume of basic scientific research, but it has fallen further behind in innovation. China employs more scientists and engineers than the United States and has increased its share of world scientific articles. The United States, however, doubled its lead in research-and-development spending, quadrupled its lead in value-added in high-technology industries, and increased its lead in international patents by 35 percent. China overtook the United States as the world's leading exporter of high-technology products, but China's high-technology exports are not very Chinese, and not very high-techmore than 90 percent are produced by foreign firms and consist of imported components that are merely assembled in China. These percentages have increased over time, a trend that suggests Chinese firms are falling further behind foreign competitors.
Military Power: Since 1991, U.S. defense spending has risen by $140 billion relative to China's, even excluding spending in Iraq and Afghanistan. More important, the gap in military spending understates the true military gap because the United States gets more bang for the buckeach dollar it spends produces more force than each dollar China spends. In a separate study, I found that developing countries systematically fail at warfare, regardless of the size of their defense budgets, because they lack the economic capacity to maintain, modernize, and integrate individual technologies into cohesive military systems. Statistical analyses suggest that military effectiveness is determined by a country's level of economic development, as measured by per capita income. As noted above, China's per capita income has declined significantly relative to the United States'. China's defense industry has also fallen further behind: in 2008, the U.S. share of the world conventional arms market surged to 68 percent while China's share dropped below 1.5 percent. If history is any guide, this growing economic gap is also a growing military gap.
Why is the United States rising relative to China? Conventional wisdom assumes that the United States is doomed to decline because of globalizationthe integration of national economies and resultant diffusion of technology from developed to developing countriesand the hegemonic burdens the United States bears to sustain globalization. Globalization and hegemony, however, are essential pillars of U.S. power.
Globalization causes wealth and innovation to cluster in areas that are already wealthy and innovative. Compared to a developing country such as China, the United States is primed to exploit globalization because its system of secure property rights, world-class universities, advanced capital markets, flexible labor laws, military superiority, and legions of multinational companies makes it an especially attractive place in which to invest and live. As a result, the dollar is the world's reserve currency, and the United States is the world's largest recipient of foreign direct investment and immigrants. Moreover, the emergence of global production networks allows U.S. firms to reap self-reinforcing competitive advantages, farming out low-value manufacturing to developing countries and investing the savings in technological modernization and rejuvenation.
Likewise, the United State' hegemonic presence abroad is, on balance, profitable. No doubt, the United States bears a significant share of the costs of maintaining international security and commerce, but it also takes a disproportionately large share of the gains. Aspects of U.S. hegemony typically considered liabilities are better characterized as vital assets. Maintaining global military superiority, for example, may cost American taxpayers 4 percent of GDP each year, but it also gives the United States tremendous influence and allows it to run a protection racket, trading security for favors and money from other countries. Similarly, allowing the dollar to function as the world's reserve currency may handicap U.S. exports, but it also comes with perks such as seigniorage and the ability to run perpetual deficits. Historically, hegemony provoked counter-balancing coalitions. Today, however, U.S. hegemony deters balancing: because the margin of superiority between the United States and second-tier states is so large, most weaker states avoid direct confrontation with the United States and either bandwagon with it or, at most, engage in soft balancingusing international institutions and diplomacy to constrain U.S. foreign policy without sparking serious conflict. As a result, the United States faces less opposition than past hegemons and runs less risk of succumbing to imperial overstretch.
The widespread belief that the United States is in decline, and that globalization and hegemony are to blame, rallies support for protectionism and retrenchmentthe curtailment of economic links between the United States and potential challengers and the pruning of all foreign policy obligations save those linked to vital interests, defined in a narrow and national manner. Yet, the United States' ability to rise relative to China while propping up the world economy and sustaining a robust diplomatic and military presence abroad suggests policymakers that should resist calls for radical policy change.
In Asia, the United States should continue to pursue a three-part strategy: (1) maintain a steadfast commitment to defend allies and secure commerce backed up with a significant forward military presence; (2) expand trade and investment with, and immigration from, Asian countries, including China; and (3) develop and participate in regional institutions. If this sounds like a reassertion of the Barack Obama administration's recent "pivot" toward Asia as well as the Pentagon's 1995 East Asia Strategy Review, that's because it is. U.S. foreign policy in Asia has been, on the whole, extremely successful for the past two decades. The region is generally peaceful and increasingly prosperous, and the power trends favor continued U.S. dominance. "More of the same" may be an underwhelming call to action, but U.S. engagement in Asia is just as necessary and just as vital as it has ever been.

APT's 'Travesties' plays off 'Earnest' production
Spring Green — Imagine unleashing all that barely restrained libido from Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" — in which appetites must at least pretend to play by old-fashioned rules — and one gets an idea of what Tom Stoppard is up to in "Travesties," a scintillating homage to a writer Stoppard admires and resembles.
Both that resemblance and Stoppard's brilliance are on full display at American Players Theatre, where director William Brown's just-opened production of "Travesties" riffs on Brown's smashing, currently running APT production of "Earnest." Taken in tandem, they're the highlight of a strong APT season. »Read Full Article
Top of the Charts: Danny Gokey, Magic! maintain chart success
The summer doldrums are a great time for vacationers, beach bums and any folks who are happy with things maintaining a bit of sameness.

Social media put face' on vandals
BARRE The wheels of justice dont spin fast enough to keep up with Facebook, and when it comes to the case of the defiled flower box at the Cornerstone Pub & Kitchen this week it really wasnt a fair fight.
Rich McSheffrey, who owns the Cornerstone with partner Keith Paxman, said police werent even aware of the vandalism that occurred shortly before midnight Monday until he had already identified those responsible with a little help from the restaurants Facebook friends.
Social media is an awesome and unique tool, said McSheffrey, who didnt learn that one of the flower boxes outside his restaurant had been trashed Monday night until he got a call from his mother Wednesday morning and didnt get around to reviewing footage from the Cornerstones surveillance cameras until later that evening.
According to McSheffrey, he quickly isolated the incident and decided to post a reasonably clear image of the young man and woman who he claims walked up to the restaurant, punched one of its windows without breaking it, and ripped flowers out of a window box.
McSheffreys hope was that one of the Cornerstones 3,000 Facebook friends would be able to identify the people in the picture he posted and be willing to share that information in exchange for a $100 gift card to the restaurant. He wasnt disappointed.
We had the names in 10 minutes, McSheffrey said, explaining his decision to do a little Facebook fishing before contacting police was an acknowledgment they had more important things to do.
We were hoping we could just go to them (police) with the names and save them the legwork, he said. It wasnt a drive-by shooting (and) it wasnt the crime of the century.
However, it was frustrating, according to McSheffrey, who said flowers arent free and destroying things that dont belong to you isnt acceptable.
McSheffrey declined to share the names that he provided to police after receiving more than two dozen rapid responses to his Facebook post Wednesday night.
Over half of them were the same names, he said.
McSheffrey, who has since shared the names and the video footage with police, said he was stunned by the response to his original post, which was re-posted nearly 650 times and reached more than 25,000 people in less than 12 hours.
According to McSheffrey, the response reflects a shared sense of community pride and a desire to nip bad behavior in the bud.
They want to see justice, he said. They want to see something done.
McSheffrey declined to disclose the names of the alleged vandals and said he would leave it to police to handle the matter. He did say he would be seeking a no trespass order against the two individuals.
Basically what we want people to know is were not going to tolerate it (vandalism), our place is surrounded with cameras and were not going to let people ruin our property, he said.

All sizes
The highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid are found in the joints, heart valves and eyes. It is also the primary component in synovial fluid, which helps cushion and lubricate joints.*
Hyaluronic acid's benefits include:
Synovial fluid also brings nutrients to cartilage. High concentrations of HA are found in this connective tissue.
Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in helping build joint collagen as well.*
Medical doctors have used an FDA-approved injectible form of HA to treat osteoarthritis for the last 20 years. Of the over one million people treated, 80 percent have noted improvement.
Glucosamine and Hyaluronic Acid for Joints
Glucosamine sulfate is widely used for joint support and can complement hyaluronic acid. Glucosamine is a precursor to the synthesis of HA and can increase HA levels when taken in high doses. Where glucosamine is part of the protein content of joint collagen, HA is part of the polysaccharide content. Supplementing with both makes good sense for joints.*
Hyaluronic Acid's Skin and Anti-Aging Benefits*
Hyaluronic acid is well known for skin care and anti-aging benefits. Nicknamed the "key to the fountain of youth," hyaluronic acid was noted to help people live to ripe old ages. In the village of Yuzuri Hara, Japan, over ten percent of the population is over 85 years old, which is 10 times the norm for America. They don't just live longer either; they are healthier as well. And their skin shows little age. The reason was found to be the practice of eating "sticky vegetable" carbohydrates that stimulate the body's natural production of hyaluronic acid.
Aging is the result of the breakdown of skin collagen. If we restore and maintain higher collagen levels, our skin can become softer and have fewer wrinkles. The properties of HA help rehydrate skin and build collagen, keeping the skin's extracellular matrix moist and supple.*
Hyaluronic Acid and Eye Health
Hyaluronic acid may support clearer eyesight and more moist eyes. It has been used for years in eye surgery as a shock absorber to protect the retina.*
Hyaluronic Acid plus MSM for Advanced Joint Support*
Lindberg Hyaluronic Acid also contains MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), known as nature's beauty mineral. MSM is made up of naturally occurring sulfur, one of the most abundant minerals in the body. It is critical to the production of healthy collagen, a building block of nails, skin, hair, joints and other connective tissue. The combination of HA plus MSM contributes to healthy joint cartilage and can support a range of joint problems.*
Supplements and Dosage
While some forms of hyaluronic acid come from rooster combs, a type of cartilage found in chickens, ours does not. Lindberg Hyaluronic Acid is derived from sodium hyaluronate and is suitable for vegetarians.
Generally, you can see results with oral supplements in 2-4 months. However, it is possible to see results in as little as one month. You can also double the dosage for the first month to help establish hyaluronic acid's benefits quickly.
Many factors can influence our hyaluronic acid levels, including age, diet and genetics. By the age of 50, we are estimated to have less half the level we had in our youth. Supplementation then becomes crucial to restore adequate levels so we can live our lives more fully and comfortably.*
Hyaluronic Acid is a gel-like substance found in every tissue of the body with the highest concentrations in connective tissue such as skin and cartilage. An important component of synovial fluid, hyaluronic acid helps lubricate joints.*
Hyaluronic acid can also help restore moisture for those concerned about wrinkles.* Supplementation is especially helpful as the body's level of hyaluronic acid production decreases with age.
MSM is a source of dietary sulfur that is critical to the production of healthy collagen - the building block of healthy nails, skin, hair, joints and other connective tissue.*

Lawsuit challenges college's judicial review
A former Castleton State College student who says in a lawsuit she was sexually assaulted in her dorm room is suing the school for what she argues was its failure to assist her after she went to school officials and counselors for help.
But in court filings and interviews school officials say they assisted the young woman as much as the law allows them to and the student who she says assaulted her a 21-year-old who pleaded guilty to a criminal charge in the case maintains that the events that took place the night of Nov. 15, 2009, were consensual.
It was on that night, according to documents in Rutland criminal and civil court, that Nicholas C. Coombs visited the room of a young woman on campus.
Invited into the room on the pretense of a question about campus housing, Coombs made romantic gestures and was asked to leave, according to the womans account.
But before he left, he committed an act that Castleton Police Chief Bruce Sherwin and the Rutland County States Attorneys office decided warranted charging him with a felony count of lewd and lascivious conduct.
That charge was eventually amended to a misdemeanor count of engaging in prohibited acts in exchange for Coombs plea of guilty to the charge. Prosecutors said the prohibited acts charge was warranted because Coombs had engaged in lewdness.
In November 2011, Coombs was sentenced to a two- to 10-month probationary sentence and he was ordered to perform 75 hours of community service.
But he was exonerated of any wrongdoing during a judicial review conducted at the college months before the woman brought her complaint to the police, according to an eight-page complaint the woman filed in Rutland civil court.
And after the colleges judicial process, Coombs was allowed to return to the dorm where the woman lived a situation that left the woman distressed and fearful and which prompted her to quit the college and return to her home state of New Jersey in January 2009.
Coombs remains enrolled at the college, according to court records, and has served as a mentor for the CSC ACES program.
The lack of disciplinary action by the school following Coombs criminal conviction and the handling of the womans complaint represents legal negligence, according to Lisa Chalidze, one of two Rutland County attorneys representing the woman.
According to the colleges student handbook, personnel are required to assist reported victims of sexual assault with reporting offenses to the authorities.
But Chalidze said personnel at the colleges student health clinic did the opposite.
Whats always troubled us from the start is that she agreed to go through the process and he was exonerated and then he pleads guilty in court but nothing changes at the school. Shes gone but hes still there, Chalidze said. Hes still hanging out there and it makes her look like a false accuser.
Of equal concern, Chalidze said, was the advice she said the woman was given by staff at the health center.
They didnt tell her not to report it to the police, but they encouraged her to let the schools judicial committee handle it, Chalidze said in an interview.
Sherwin also wrote in an affidavit filed in Rutland criminal court last year that the woman advised that she did not come to the police initially as she felt pressured to allow the incident to be handled at an All College Judicial Committee hearing.
Asked about the case this month, Sherwin said he didnt perceive any wrongdoing on the part of CSC.
I didnt find fault with the way they handled it, he said. They looked at is as a matter that belonged in the college judicial proceedings. I looked at it as a criminal case.
The woman initially agreed to let the schools judicial committee handle the case, but after Coombs was exonerated, she went to police, her lawyers wrote.
In the written complaint, Chalidze said the school also tried to keep the woman from talking about the incident with others.
Instead of providing and/or referring to qualified providers, (CSC) through its student health clinic counseled (the woman) not to tell her parents about the assault, but to see a doctor over spring break because she needed medication, Chalidze and co-counsel Theodore Parisi wrote in the complaint.
The college denied those claims in a response filed in civil court and the schools counsel, Burlington attorney Jeffrey Nolan, said CSC did all it could legally to assist the woman.
The college did not sweep this under the rug and did not seek to discourage her from reporting to the police, Nolan said in an interview.
But while the college can assist students by informing them about how to report sexual assaults, the school is prohibited under privacy laws from reporting alleged sexual offenses itself, he said.
The only exception to that rule, he said, are cases where the safety of the college community is deemed to be in jeopardy a clause spelled out verbatim in the student handbook.
The federal Clery Act, which defines how colleges report criminal activity on their campuses, requires schools to report sexual offenses reported by students. But it is at the discretion of the student who brings a sexual assault complaint to bring the matter to the police in the majority of cases.
CSC President David Wolk also denied any wrongdoing on the schools part.
Well vigorously oppose it in court if necessary, he said. We do report all offenses on campus. We comply with the law and we dispute the charge.
Despite the criminal conviction, Coombs also denies any wrongdoing.
In a written response to the lawsuit, Coombs lawyer Elizabeth Mann wrote, Coombs admits that there was physical contact between plaintiff and defendant on or about Nov. 15, 2009 in her dormitory room. Defendant denies that contact was not consensual.
Coombs also described his intentions with the woman as harmless and that it was never made clear to him that he did not have consent, according to a statement he provided during the colleges judicial review.
Coombs statement was paraphrased by Sherwin in the affidavit he provided to the court. The Castleton police chief also said during an interview Coombs declined to provide a statement to police but he did ask Sherwin a question.
Why would this woman, who no longer goes to school here, and has left the state, want to pursue this matter when there is no fear of a recurrence of the event? Coombs asked the chief.
