Ballots for the 2009 Mid-American Conference Football Poll were due this weekend. I enjoyed reading your polls and agree that the East is as wide-open as it has ever been. I have seen five different teams picked as the East champion in preview magazines/web polls. The West is a little easier to predict at the top and the bottom.
As promised, here is what my preseason poll looks like.
West Division
1. Central Michigan
The schedule won't be easy (road games at Buffalo, Western Michigan and Ball State) but if any team can handle it, it's the Chippewas. Central Michigan returns their top 12 tacklers, 10 starters on defense and the best offensive player in the conference in quarterback Dan LeFevour. The Chips have the weapons on offense (WR's Antonio Brown and Bryan Anderson) and defense (DE Frank Zombo and LB Nick Bellore) to win the MAC.
2. Western Michigan
It's not out of the question that the Broncos can win the division. Tim Hiller is an outstanding quarterback. Brandon West leads a deep core at running back. The front seven on defense has potential. Eventually, though, Western Michigan is going to have to beat Central Michigan. That hasn't happened since 2005.
3. Northern Illinois
The 3-4-5 spots here are about as tight as they can be. NIU, Toledo or Ball State can easily take third. I'm giving the edge to the Huskies because they lose a lot less on defense than people think (the low number of returning starters on defense is wildly misleading because of the way NIU rotates) and unlike Ball State, the offense should take steps forward this season.
4. Toledo
New! coach! Tim! Beckman! has! people! excited! and! they! should! be! If you follow Beckman's Twitter feed you'll get that joke. Toldeo's offense should improve and the Rockets have a really nice running game. Toledo's defense should improve as well. The early schedule is going to be rough (at Purdue, home for Colorado, vs. Ohio State in Cleveland) and could take an early toll. Can Toledo overcome a lack of depth at wide receiver and major concerns with field position? That remains to be seen.
5. Ball State
It's tough seeing last year's division champion here. But with a new coach, quarterback, four starting offensive linemen and a host of new receivers, this seems like the spot to start at. If Ball State is going to another bowl game this season, the defense, led by safeties Sean Baker and Alex Knipp, will have to lead the Cardinals there.
6. Eastern Michigan
Eastern Michigan has to deal with the unfortunate reality of playing in a loaded division. The Eagles can score with anybody in the MAC, but also can't stop anyone.
That's the West, let's move to the East, where as many as five teams can legitimately say they will emerge as the division champs.
East Division
1. Temple
Why not? There is no way the Owls have the same bad luck as last season (three losses on the final play) and they return 17 starters. Replacing quarterback Adam DiMichele will be key, but the defense has a chance to be something special. Temple returns eight of their nine top tacklers. The schedule also looks kindly on the Owls with no crossover games against Central Michigan or Western Michigan.
2. Buffalo
It's hard not to get excited about two of the top offensive players in the MAC in RB James Starks and WR Naaman Roosevelt. The defense returns its top eight tacklers, and Buffalo will need them for games against Central Michigan and at Western Michigan.
3. Akron
It feels like this gets said a lot, but if quarterback Chris Jacquemain can remain consistent the Zips have a real shot to contend. Jacquemain's top three receiving targets return and the defensive line should provide pressure all season long. Akron might not start well in the conference season, but three of its final four games are at home.
4. Bowling Green
QB Tyler Sheehan, WR Freddie Barnes and LT Brady Minturn are three good reasons to point to why Bowling Green should be fine on offense this season. New head coach Dave Clawson has a good reputation on the offensive side of the ball, despite what happened at Tennessee last season. Getting through October (vs. Ohio, at Kent State, at Ball State, vs. Central Michigan) 2-2 would be huge.
5. Ohio
This is the pick I'm questioning the most. Ohio has the tools on both sides of the ball, four of the last six games are at home and include a lengthy bye and more than a week between road games at Ball State and Buffalo. I'm just really questioning how the quarterback situation will work with two experienced players in Theo Scott and Boo Jackson.
6. Kent State
The Golden Flashes have too many holes at wide receiver and an unproven quarterback. That's going to be too much to overcome for a team that hasn't had a whole lot to get excited about for a few years now.
7. Miami (Ohio)
The RedHawks lose the top four tacklers from a defense that gave up 32.7 points a game last season. It's a rebuilding year in Oxford, Ohio.
MAC Championship Game Winner: Central Michigan over Temple
Central Michigan has the experience and the talent. LeFevour rides off into the sunset a conference champion.
That's it for my preseason poll. We'll see how the complete MAC preseason poll shakes out at MAC media days late next week.

Many Social TV players hyped their Super Bowl apps and tie-ins, but Shazam and Getglue seems to have grabbed most of the market share. About half of the Super Bowl advertisers gave Shazam bonus content such as videos and sweepstakes to reward those who tagged the ads from Shazam's app. Interscope and Bud Light also sent out bonus halftime-show content, and game stats and social features ran throughout the game.
From Reuters:
Shazam announced Thursday that the entire Super Bowl, the halftime show and almost half of the advertisements during the game can be tagged using its app, making this the first "Shazamable Super Bowl.'
If any of the more than 100 million people who'll tune into the game use the app to tag a play or an ad, they can access live statistics, unlock new immersive advertising experiences or qualify for sweepstakes. Its advertising partners will include heavyweights Pepsi, Disney and Anheuser-Busch.
Shazam, which boasts a user base of more than 175 million people worldwide, has chosen the year's biggest TV event as a launching point for its growing "Shazam for TV" business. The message to networks and advertisers everywhere is clear: Shazam makes TV better.
And Alex Iskold, CEO of Getglue, noted yesterday.
Forbes also noted that Yahoo's Intonow and Viggle both had some presence as well:
Over 100,000 check-ins to Super Bowl on @GetGlue - all before 1/2 time. That is insane.
One of Shazam's most natural competitors, IntoNow by Yahoo, is not going to be shut out of the big-win category.
"Yahoo! expects the Super Bowl to be the biggest event ever for IntoNow's second-screen experience," said a spokesperson, "which includes integrated Twitter, commenting, related news, and StatTracker for easy viewing of team/player stats during the game."
IntoNow was also embedded in last night's NFL Honors broadcast on NBC, giving fans behind-the-scenes access. But the big coup for Yahoo is also an ad integration.
"When the Pepsi MAX ad airs during the game," the spokesperson said. "IntoNow will synchronize with your TV, unlocking your entry into the Pepsi MAX for Life sweepstakes."
Viggle also made a less conspicuous play:
Here's the plan: Once you've connected the iOS app (Android is coming soon) to your cable, satellite or over-air provider, then watching anything, anytime, will gain you chances for Viggle points. Checking-in with advertisers gains you more. As the points accumulate, you head to the featured awards section, which reminded me of the arcade toy case — if the arcade toy case would have ever been awesome. Forget plush toys, Viggle has lined up rewards from Gap, Apple, Amazon, CVS, Papa Johns, Fandango. It goes on.
The value-added content in Viggle is simple but smart — a discovery guide and links to social networks, but also to Wikipedia, iTunes, Amazon and Bing. Stephenson doesn't see Viggle competing in the current social television space.
"We just launched a new space," Stephenson says. "We fully expect to see competitors entering this space in the soon. But the important thing is, our vision is to become the definitive global loyalty program for entertainment."
He said the company is open to partnerships.
If you have not read it - take the time to ingest this great piece at PaidContent.org - Social TV And The Super Bowl: When Will Marketers Start Really Spending?
With big brands coughing up, on average, $3.5 million for a 30-second Super Bowl commercial this weekend, Iskold said they're "not yet eager to spend TV-like dollars on the social media." "We're looking to digital for a more meaningful way to engage with the consumer one on one," Pepsi Max brand team executive Sam Duboff told us.
Iskold added: "Everyone agrees this is valuable. We're just trying to figure out how much value it has."
For operators like Iskold, the value the Super Bowl represents is more about user-base building. He said his company is expecting have its highest usage ever this weekend, with more than 50,000 GetGlue users. In last year's Super Bowl, GetGlue couldn't handle its traffic volume; this year, the company has doubled its number of servers.
And great news - data from RapidTVNews this morning to boot!
It wasn't just Eli Manning and his New York Giants enjoying a successful Super Bowl XLVI: data from InMobi revealed a surge in consumer interaction with mobile during the landmark sporting event.
According to the Mobile Consumption Survey by the largest independent mobile ad network, consumers significantly used their mobile devices during the biggest advertising event of the year, with more almost twice as many respondents using their mobile devices during the first half of the game compared to the second half, what it called a powerful take-away for advertisers and media planners.
In detail, nearly 40% of respondents used mobile devices in response to TV ads—such as discussing commercials, getting more information about an advertised product, or watching TV ads again—and 45% estimated that they would spend 30 minutes or more on their mobile devices during the game.
Cory Bergman over at Lost Remote also has an excellent report from Stateside view:
The Giant's fourth-quarter victory help the Super Bowl become the biggest social TV event in history so far. Bluefin Labs says it counted 9.3 million social media comments, surpassing the previous all-time record high of 3 million held by the MTV VMAs. Trendrr said this year's Super Bowl had approximately 5X the social activity over last year. The data is still coming in, and here's our early crack at the biggest social media moments of the Super Bowl…
Most-talked-about moment: There wasn't a jaw-dropper this year, but the game came down to the final moments, generating an average of 10,000 tweets per second (peaking at 12,233) in the final three minutes of the game, Twitter says. That surpasses Madonna's halftime show, which drove 8,000 tweets per second (peaking at 10,245) over a five-minute period. Those are both English-language records for Twitter, falling behind the all-time record of 25,088 tweets per second in Japan.
And more from LiveDigitally.com on why Social TV suffered:
The problem was in the experiences. I tweeted a couple of times during the game, by using the Twitter app, which was native and easy to do. The thought of launching another app, just to get something that would enable be to tweet never even crossed my mind. In reality, most of these apps actually got in the way of the experience. And yes, while there was tons of tweeting and updates occurring, I'd lay down a strong bet most of this was about people posting, not reading what others were posting.
I also found the Super Bowl ads highlighted two major flaws in the ad experience. Shazam got a lot of pre-game buzz for all their ad partners. Sounds cool in theory, but the experience is just plain lousy. First, the commerical starts airing. Then, at some point in the middle of the ad a little Shazam logo appears somewhere on the screen (I only noticed it a handful of times personally). At this moment, the viewer must grab their phone, turn it on, unlock it, switch to the Shazam app, and then – and this is important – get everyone in the room to be quiet for 7-10 seconds. Great in theory, but this is not a good experience for any user.
However, the Social Times said it was the biggest Social TV event in history:
Did you watch the Super Bowl last night? If so, did you Tweet or Facebook about it? If you did, you helped make history. According to Bluefin Labs, last night's game was the biggest social TV event ever recorded. It didn't only beat last year's MTV Video Music Awards' record of 3.1 million social media comments, it crushed the record with a whopping 12.2 million social media comments.
Bluefin breaks down the social media activity surrounding the event into three different infographics about the game itself, the commercials, and the Halftime Show. Check 'em all out...

Tambellini Begins his Tenure as Oilers GM. Again.
This is Gilles Meloche. He was acquired by the California Seals as a "consolation prize" about 40 years ago. Chicago traded a package of younger players for the Seals starting goalie (Gary "Suitcase" Smith) and one of them was Gerry Desjardins. All hell broke loose in training camp that fall when Desjardins showed up injured. The Seals (a poor expansion team) had no goalies while the Hawks had Tony Esposito and Gary Smith.
No fair! screamed the Seals, but Clarence Campbell refused to reverse the deal, suggesting instead the two clubs re-work the trade. The two clubs finally solved the problem when Oakland sent Desjardins back to Chicago for D Paul Shmyr and the young Meloche on October 18, 1971.
Meloche would prove himself a worthy acquisition, playing in over 800 NHL games (including playoffs) and spending some time as an Oiler (it was summer 1985, though. So he never actually played for the Oildrop).
Steve Tambellini has been the Oilers GM for awhile now, so you can imagine my surprise when finding out yesterday that no one said "GO" back on July 31, 2008. He's been observing, like the French in war. However, rest assured he's on notice starting today that things better turn around, because this time next year he's going to be accountable for, you know, his track record.
Which starts…..NOW!!!
If Steve Tambellini wants to impress the fanbase, he might want to start looking around for a goalie. With Nikolai Khabibulin injury prone and old for a goalie, with Jeff Deslauriers not stopping pucks and Devan Dubnyk not ready for prime time this team needs a Gilles Meloche pretty damn quick.
The prevailing wisdom with regard to these kid goalies is that you've got to play them in order to see if they'll be any good. So far in 09-10, Deslauriers has a .896SP which ranks him 56/74 NHL goalies for the season; Devan Dubnyk's .869 is good for 70th out of 74 goalies who have played this season in the show.
Haven't seen enough of Dubnyk? Fine. Play the man. Still think Deslauriers has the right stuff? Knock yourself out. But I have to say that the confidence level fans have in regard to this organization's ability to develop talent (which is different from the ability to procure it) is not high, and the goaltending mess is a perfect reflection of what ails this organization.
There's not a sure bet in the bunch. If I'm Steve Tambellini, sleep won't come easy in the next few months. There's a lot of work to do, and it looks like goaltending is going to be job one; which is incredible considering the mess elsewhere.

I recently put in a fiberglass whirlpool tub. I set it in mortar so it would be stable. The problem is that the
tub has a small chip in it on the inside bottom. It is a very small chip but it is a brand new tub
and I would like to fix it. Is there anyway I can fix this or should I return the tub. If I did the latter I would
have to pull it out of the hardened mortar. Thanks in advance.

Get mad Roku, it's not up your shiny standards I know.
Epic Fail
Get mad Roku, it's not up your shiny standards I know.
"For I being a poor man, have only my dreams & I have spread them beneath your feet. Tread carefully, for you tread upon my dreams."
So it looks like part of the last shippuden movie is going to be canon as far as the bloodline users are concerned. Good touch, Kishi. Anyway, a rematch of Kakashi and Zabuza? I'd like to see that. And it looks like Zabuza is going to get a stat booster courtesy of Kabuto. And poor Anko... I hope she's not dead. I'll miss her hotness lol.
Afro was on point with that memory wipe thing.
Naruto becoming hokage speech....he''s beating on a dead horse. Honestly want Zabuza to fight someone else and not Kakashi again. Actually like Haku being brought back his bloodlimit is awesome.
Kabuto only has 1 trump card? And I'm with Madara on how to defeat Edo Tensai just sounds way to easy/ convenient.
How does Madara's teleportation work again? Shouldn't like he be able to teleport straight to the leaders ?
5/5 yeah kakashi vz zabuza, so kabuto is using anko seal to give more power to the zombies?
Kick me high, hit me low, spit on me it's gonna take more than that to break my soul.
So now Kabuto's gotten serious with Edo Tensei.
Zabusa's comment to Kakashi was interesting, specifically how right after he died he found himself standing next to Haku, and immediately felt something was wrong. So...he didn't experience any sort of afterlife...or perhaps he did but forgot all about it once he was summoned...? Is that typical of all the other dead who're summoned? Clearly the dead retain memories of their past life, but perhaps not of the afterlife.
The eventual clash between Madara and Kabuto should be awesome. And yes, I obviously believe it'll happen.
Pretty good chapter overall. That doton spitting out all those white zetsus was cool.
Cutting all those Zetsu is probably playing right into his hands, can't be that easy.
Kabuto lusting after Rikudou is sad, just so tired of everyone trying to tie the Sage's power to their own. Makes things rather one dimensional, which is why I love Naruto; he doesn't give a damn about the Sage, he just wants to be strong on his own for individual goals NOT labeled Sage of the 6 Paths.
Meh chapter.
"For I being a poor man, have only my dreams & I have spread them beneath your feet. Tread carefully, for you tread upon my dreams."
ok chapter. i'm ready for some serious fighting now like the kakashi vz zabuza and hopefully more.
1) Naruto wanting to be Hokage thing is a memory recollection,so it's OK.
2) Rikudo SO6P has/had the greatest power Ever, of course every villain wants his power
3) Chioba again mentions Kabuto's improvement of ET over Nidaime and Oro's ET. What are the differences?
4) Kabuto runs off without Sasuke. What did he need Sasuke for...Definitely it wasn't to body swap, or for a revenge match. He could have attacked Sasuke anytime he wanted
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Take the Naruto route and be the most badass villain in your own right by your own power instead of digging up the 'best' or attempting to duplicate his powers. Lame ass followers, mimics, & hard on having cheerleaders.
"For I being a poor man, have only my dreams & I have spread them beneath your feet. Tread carefully, for you tread upon my dreams."

In 1939, the City of Cambridge adopted a city charter known as Plan E. Plan E is a City Manager form of government with nine Councillors and six School Committee members elected at large by Proportional Representation (PR) for a two year term. After members of the Council take the oath of office in January, they elect one of the nine to serve as Mayor.
The City Council is the lawmaking body, appointing a City Manager, City Clerk, and City Auditor.
The City Manager is the chief administrative officer of the city carrying out policies of the City Council for an indefinite term.
The Mayor is the official head of the city for all ceremonial purposes, the presiding officer of the Council when it is in session, and the chairman of the school Committee.
Adoption of Plan E
Plan E Charter (PDF)
Municipal elections are held in November in odd-numbered years. The requirements to run for School Committee or City Council are:
1. The person must be a registered voter in Cambridge. To register, one must be 18 years of age by Election Day, a U.S. citizen, and a resident in the City of Cambridge.
2. The person must file no fewer than fifty (50) and no more than one hundred (100) certifiable signatures of registered voters in the City of Cambridge.
The Election Commission office provides candidate kits that include nomination papers, important dates, Commission policies, services and publications at the beginning of July. Nomination papers are usually due back at the end of July.
Proportional Representation (PR) is the method by which voters in Cambridge elect members of the City Council and School Committee. It ensures minority representation with majority control. Any group of voters that number more than one-tenth of the total population can be sure of electing at least one member of a nine-member Council, but a majority group of voters can be sure of electing a majority of the Council.
In a PR election you may vote for as many of the candidates listed on the ballot as you wish, but you must rank the candidates in order of preference.
The PR ballot lists candidates with numbered ovals next to their names. Mark your choices by filling in the numbered ovals only. Fill in the number one (1) oval next to your first choice; Fill in the number two (2) oval next to your second choice; Fill in the number three (3) oval next to your third choice, and so on. You may fill in as many choices as you please.
If you fill in more than one oval for any candidate, your vote for that candidate will be invalid and will not be counted.
Be careful not to fill in the same numbered oval more than once. This also will make your votes for those candidates invalid and they will not be counted.
Sample PR Ballot (PDF)
The count begins with the sorting of ballots by the first preference shown on each valid ballot. That is the NUMBER 1 vote on each ballot. This is generally known as the "First Count".
Any candidates who reach the necessary quota with Number 1 votes are declared elected. Any extra ballots they receive beyond the quota are redistributed to the candidates marked next in preference (the number 2 preference) on those excess ballots. (See Transferring the Surplus)
The count continues with the elimination of those candidates receiving fewer than fifty votes in the first count. Their ballots are redistributed to the other candidates according to the next preference marked.
After each distribution, the candidate now having the lowest number of votes is eliminated and his/her ballots redistributed to the next indicated preference (number 2,3,4 etc.)
As candidates reach the quota through the addition of redistributed ballots to their totals, they are declared elected and no further ballots are transferred to them.
This process continues until all candidates have been eliminated except the nine winners for City Council or the six winners for School Committee.
Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 54A (PDF)
On election night at the central tabulation center, the memory card from each precinct's ballot box is entered into a computer. This computer takes the records of each ballot from the memory card and sorts them by precinct into separate files, one each for City Council, School Committee, and ballot question (if any). The complete ballot files for each race or question are then copied onto a computer disk. Each ballot record consists of the candidates selected by the voter and the order in which they were ranked.
The computer disk with the ballot files is installed in a second computer. This computer contains the software which counts the ballots. The software has been programmed to follow the "Cambridge Rules," as documented in M.G.L. Chapter 54A and in the Cincinnati Code - Article IX of 1938. By computer, the same process formerly carried out manually by more than a hundred counters over the course of a week is conducted in a matter of seconds by the electronic sorting, counting, and transfer of votes.
An "unofficial first count" of number one (#1) votes for each candidate for City Council and School Committee will be available on election night within minutes of receipt of the memory card from the last reporting precinct. This count is referred to as "unofficial" because it does not contain all ballots. For example, it does not yet include write-ins or ballots marked in a way that could not be read by the scanner at the precinct level. Those votes will be individually added to those already scanned on the day after the election. In addition, overseas absentee ballots that arrive after election day and provisional ballots are not counted until 10 days after the election. Only when this last step is completed will all valid ballots have been recorded.
The complete ballot records are then copied and read into the tabulation software where they are tallied. The software produces an "official first count" and then proceeds to distribute surplus and eliminate candidates with the least number of votes until all seats have been filled. The Election Commissioners declare the results.

Stanislaus RAPOTEC
Stanislaus Ivan Rapotec was born in Trieste, Italy, on 4 October 1913. During the 1930s he travelled and painted throughout central Europe and Turkey. He studied economics at the University of Zagreb (1933–39), where he also attended classes in art history. In World War II he fought in Europe and the Middle East with the Yugoslav army. He immigrated to South Australia in 1949, moving to Sydney in 1955.
Rapotec had no formal art training. His work was first shown in a group exhibition, Annual contemporary art society show, in Adelaide and Sydney, in 1950, and his first solo exhibition was at the John Martin Gallery, Adelaide, in 1952. Between 1952 and 1984 Rapotec had 24 solo exhibitions both nationally and internationally, including at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, in 1975. Rapotec was also included in many group exhibitions, including Australian paintings of the past 20 years in London, 1972, Images of religion in Australian art at the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, in 1988, and Federation: Australian art & society 1901–2001, a National Gallery of Australia touring exhibition, 2001.

In a note yesterday, Cumberland Advisor's David Kotok explains that the S&P 500-stock index (SPY) has gained just 0.6% from election day through Dec. 21–a fact that has many pundits blaming the fiscal cliff. Not Kotok–he blames Apple (AAPL).
Why Apple? Kotok looked at a bunch of exchange-traded funds that track different versions of the S&P 500–with much less exposure than the market-cap-weighted version's 3.8% share of the portfolio–and finds that nearly all of them have outperformed.
The Guggenheim S&P 500 Pure Value ETF (RPV), for instance, has gained about 4% during the post-election period, Kotok says, while the RevenueShares Large Cap ETF (RWL), which weights stocks by sales instead of size, has gained 1.4%. The Guggenheim S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP), which does exactly what its name says it will, has gained 2.1%. Each holds a much smaller stake in Apple.
Of course, when Apple is flying, these ETFs can lag behind. Guggenheim Pure Value lost 1.2% last year when SPDR S&P 500 gained 1.9%, as Apple surged 26%. RevenueShares Large Cap gained just 0.3%, while Guggenheim Equal Weight fell 0.7%.
Apple's nearly 28% decline since mid-September hasn't been kind to investors who bought mutual funds with big stakes in the stock, reports Reuter's David Randall

NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees stood in front of their lockers with vacant looks and misty eyes. When they finally spoke, their voices were trembling, almost quivering, trying to keep their emotions in check.
The Yankees didn't lose just a game Saturday night, 6-4 in 12 innings to the Detroit Tigers.
They lost their franchise.
Derek Jeter, one of the greatest players who has ever worn a Yankee uniform, broke his left ankle in the 12th inning and is out for the rest of the season.
PHOTOS: Derek Jeter fractures his ankle
Jeter, who was carried off the field writhing in pain, was informed of the news after X-rays showed a fracture. He was emotionless, Yankee general manager Brian Cashman said, when told of the news.
It was everyone else that looked shaken, many unable to even talk.
Former Yankese manager Joe Torre, now working in the commissioner's office, was with Jeter when the captain was informed of the news. So was Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson and former teammate Tino Martinez. They gasped when the words came out, trying to grasp the reality:
Fractured ankle. Season over. Three months rehab. No surgery. Should be ready for spring training.
"The shock of the bad news,'' Cashman said, "there wasn't much dialogue after that.''
The injury occurred when Jeter, racing to his left, snared a ground ball hit by Jhonny Peralta. He gloved it, but immediately went to the ground. This time, he didn't get up.
He laid on the ground, screaming in anguish. He was immediately carried off the field while Yankee Stadium went silent.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi and trainer Steve Donahue immediately rushed toward him. The entire stadium, which had been rocking like a Springsteen concert in the ninth inning on Raul Ibanez's game-tying home run, now was silent.
They looked in disbelief, watching Jeter being carried off the field and disappearing into the dugout and through the tunnel.
"He's as tough as they come, and when Derek Jeter needs help getting off the field," Cashman said, "you know it's bad.''
Jeter, who won't need surgery, was still in the trainer's room when news reporters were let in the clubhouse. His street clothes were gone. And a security guard stood in front of his locker preventing pictures.
"This is a very, very difficult moment for us,'' Ibanez said. "It's tough knowing that he won't be with us.''
The injury, Cashman said, most likely was related to the bone bruise that Jeter sustained in Game 3 of the AL Division Series against the Baltimore Orioles, when he fouled a ball off his foot. He was used only as a DH in Game 4 and returned to shortstop in Game 5 not wanting to talk about the pain.
"We have seen what he played through in the last month and a half,'' Girardi said of Jeter's nagging injuries, "and the pain he has been in. And how he found a way to get through it.
"I mean, Jeet has always been as tough as a player as I've ever been around. And you know that's what he showed was toughness.
"I mean, even when I went to the field and I was going to carry him in, and he said, "No, do not carry me.' That is the kind of guy he is. He is going to play through injuries and everything … He never tells me what is bothering him, ever.
"I'm sad for him because I know how much he loves to play, and play in these type of situations. You can see the disappointment in his face. Everyone in this room knows who he is.''
Girardi didn't even have time to address his players after the game. They likely will have a meeting today, he said, and discuss it, almost like a support group. Jeter may even talk, telling them that they can't feel sorry for themselves, the same message All-Star closer Mariano Rivera delivered in May when he suffered a season-ending knee injury.
ALCS GAME 1: From elation to agony at Yankee Stadium
"I'm not sure how we'll deliver it, how we'll talk about it,'' Girardi said. "When we through it with Mo, Mo spoke to the team and told us to get it done. … Jeet is going to tell us, 'Let's go.' That's what he's going to tell us.
"I have to tell you, I don't want to be without him. Nobody in that room wants to be without him. But we have to move on. And I don't say that in a cold way, but we're trying to win a series here."
The Yankees will activate Eduardo Nunez, who will share the shortstop position with veteran Jayson Nix. Alex Rodriguez won't be an option, Girardi said. There was no time to even think who'll become the new leadoff hitter.
"Yes, I admit without a doubt, this is a big loss,'' Cashman said. "But is it something that we are going to allow us to stop dreaming and achieve our goal? No, we're not going to allow that.
"This is a big loss. But we got to do this for him. They'll do everything they can to rally around the circumstance and rally around him.
"The way to honor Derek more than anything else, and these guys all know that, is to get the job done in his absence. So that's what we're going to focus on.''

Recommendations come on heels of lowest-scoring season in college men's basketball since 1952 and season that saw the fewest fouls called per game since NCAA began keeping track in 1948
Coming off college basketball's lowest-scoring season since 1952, the NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committee on Thursday made a series of recommendations meant to bring new balance to offense and defense.
After three days of meetings, the rules committee recommended changes to the block/charge call and to the regulation of hand and arm contact intended to allow more offensive freedom and movement. Rules regarding hand and arm contact are in place, but committee members had noticed that their enforcement had become lax in recent years, leading to a spike in physicality and a decline in foul calls and, ultimately, scoring.
PREVIOUSLY: College basketball scoring reaches historic low
"There's been some growing criticism for the roughness that occurs during our game," said Art Hyland, the committee's secretary-rules editor. "I would say the major thing that came out of that meeting where there was agreement was that if we would call our rules as written, we would see immediate improvement in the game."
The agreement didn't just come from the rules committee. For the first time, its meetings also included representatives of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and the Division I Men's Basketball Committee, something rules committee chair and St. Peter's coach John Dunne called "a great idea."
After extensive discussions, the rules committee made the following recommendations:
- Alter the block/charge rule so that defenders who move into the path of an offensive player once he has started upward movement to pass or shoot the ball will be called for a blocking foul.
- Strict enforcement of already existing rules on fouls related to: defensive players with a hand or forearm on an opponent; with two hands on an opponent; who continually jab by extending arms; or who uses an arm bar to impede an opponent.
"I think sometimes the rules committee is looking to figure out ways to get more balance between offense and defense," Dunne said. "That doesn't mean there needs to be a rules change, but to correctly enforce rules already written."
The men's and women's rules committees also gathered to discuss rules and issues of play that affect both of their games. They jointly are recommending video review of shot clock violations or out of bounds deflections in the final two minutes of games, as well as video reviews when there are questions of whether a made shot was a two- or three-point field goal.
Additionally, they agreed that officials should have more freedom in enforcing elbowing rules, allowing them to call common fouls rather than flagrant 1 or 2 fouls when an elbow might be inadvertent. This became an issue during the first weekend of the recent NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament when eight elbows of varying style and intent all were assessed flagrant fouls.
"When the rule was put in, we just really wanted to protect the plyer from the high elbow swing where the offensive player was trying to create more space," Dunne said. "We really wanted to eliminate that from our game. We didn't take into consideration the many inadvertent elbows. It's really the inadvertent ones that really put the referees in a bind. They had nowhere to go other than a flagrant 2 or a flagrant 1."
Added Barbara Burke, the Women's Rules Committee chair and athletics director at Eastern Illinois: "To categorize all elbow fouls as flagrant, we believe, was too egregious. We wanted to create an opportunity for an official to make it a common foul. They can still call that flagrant, but they can also call a common, which they couldn't before."
RELATED: Flagrant fouls in NCAA tournament
The women's committee also recommended the institution of a 10-second backcourt rule, which already exists in the high school level and in men's basketball. International rules allow for eight seconds. College women's basketball always has had a 30-second shot clock.
"This committee felt like it was the right time to vote this rule in," Burke said. "There has been a lot of discussion around women's basketball about pace of play. I wouldn't say that it has slowed, but always need to evaluate our game and what we can do better. This gives us an opportunity to enhance the game."
One change that was discussed but not recommended was the reduction of the men's shot clock from 35 seconds. Dunne said there was a roughly 50-50 split among rules committee, the NABC and the Division I men's basketball committee on the merits of a shorter shot clock.
"Some people would say there's a lot of momentum for shot clock to change," Dunne said. "I'm not sure if there is as much momentum behind changing the shot clock as one might think."
Said Hyland: "One thing about college basketball is you've always had different styles of play. I think the rules committee is very hesitant to change the shot clock to eliminate certain styles of play."
The changes recommended by the rules committee now will be discussed June 18 by the Playing Rules Oversight panel. Any changes adopted will be effective for 2013-14.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz was treated to a tour of the San Rafael Swell and some target practicing at the shooting range on his recent trip to Emery County.
"It's so beautiful here. We went on roads that I've never been on. We took the Moore cut-off road. This area has a unique set of issues. The federal government is always doing something stupid. We need to find the right mix."
Rep. Chaffetz said it's always a worry that the president might do something unilaterally without public input. Emery County is farther along than most counties in addressing what the county feels is best for the county's public lands. He thinks Emery County has a reasonable approach to how federal lands should be managed within the county.
He is happy to be working with Rep. Rob Bishop to help push Emery County's land bill along. He hopes a balance can also be reached with any other counties that wish to be part of the public lands bill. He believes a big threat comes from organizations that want massive amounts of wilderness. He thinks counties need to have a plan and be proactive. He feels Emery County has been more than generous with its proposed wilderness. He envisions a bill which may include Uintah, Duchesne and Grand counties. By summer, the lands proposal should be in bill format and ready to be introduced. "The radical environmental groups are never satisfied, but we are happy to listen to them," said Rep. Chaffetz. With Rep. Bishop being on the Natural Resources committee it places him in a good spot to advance the Emery County bill.
Rep. Chaffetz says Utah pays its share of taxes to the federal government and he likes to see Utah get its fair share back, but one area that's lacking is in PILT payments, they are 'painfully small' said Chaffetz. "PILT is not a fair compensation," said Chaffetz.
Rep. Chaffetz said this is his third trip to Emery County since he became the Representative for this area. Almost 65 percent of his area is new and it includes all of San Juan, Grand, Emery, Carbon and Wasatch along with some of Utah County east of I-15.
When Rep. Chaffetz isn't busy in Washington he loves the outdoors and shooting and hunting. He lives in Alpine and can now vote for himself. He enjoys spending time with his family and currently has a son serving a mission in Ghana. He has two daughters ages 12 and 17. He spends part of his week in Washington and then back home. They made the decision not to move the family to Washington. His new passion is hunting coyotes.
On this trip to southern and southeastern Utah, he spent some time in Moab, met with the leader of the Navajo nation, spent three days with the border patrol, attended the Emery and Grand counties Republican conventions and traveled a lot of miles and met with many of his constituents. "I really love this part of Utah," said Rep. Chaffetz.
Emery County Sheriff Greg Funk cooked hamburgers for Rep. Chaffetz and his staff along with the other people on the tour which included Kathleen Clarke from the governor's public land office.
Capt. Kyle Ekker brought many different handguns and rifles for Rep. Chaffetz to try out. He practiced on the many targets at the sheriff's shooting range.

Wheee we're a bunch of happy troopers! And I couldn't have asked for more awesome traveling partners ;)
Met our other 'nanny', the hilarious Miko, at KL's Park Royal Hotel. He managed to get room upgrades for all of us, and got Bea & I connecting rooms!
And off we were to conquer the nearby shopping malls despite the rain.
What I really liked were the conversational cards they place on every table. They definitely encourage people to practice better social etiquette when dining!
The next morning started at 4A.M. for us. It was a whole day of filming with 5 other bloggers from Malaysia and an awesome production crew. I'll be uploading photos from that day soon ;) After filming, we headed out with our new-found Malaysian friends to explore KL's street food. So so so glad we dragged our asses out cos the gastronomic experience was not to be missed!!
And they'll wait patiently for everyone to grab food photos no matter how badly they want to dig right straight in. Btw, the KL black hokkien mee is SUPER YUMMMAY! So was the Orh-Lua! Anyone knows where to get black hokkien mee in Singapore PLEASE please let me know ;)
All fresh after a good 12hour sleep, we checked out and headed to explore the Bangsar area of KL!
We settled for brunch at Antipodean and had a really satisfying meal. What more, the full breakfast is only 18RM (SGD7.50)!!
We were homeward-bound after tea! Though it was a mere 3 days, I had truckloads of fun with them and we made a pact to come back soon for more food hunts. So yes, till the next KL Travelogue ;)
On the same note, I've been sooo desperate for a holiday recently it's not funny. Been dreaming hard about a beach getaway to Koh Samui or one of the pretty islands of St Vincent & The Grenadines, or perhaps a crazy spring break in Cancun or The Bahamas. But I can't do much traveling this year cos of the upcoming wedding and our business plans. Oh wells, guess I can only dream for now... And hopefully land myself a big fat break soon ;)
Well, hope your Monday's been kind and have a great week everyone! x

The high school softball and baseball seasons are quickly wrapping up and the Emery High teams are trying to position themselves for the upcoming state tournaments.
The Emery High baseball team is currently in second place in region 15 with a 5-2 record. Grand High is leading with a 7-1 record and San Juan is in third place with a 5-3 record. Emery will play two region games this week, on Tuesday at home against South Sevier and on Friday at San Juan. The following Tuesday, Emery will travel to South Sevier to make a weather delayed game. Grand has two games left, both on the road. They play at Monticello and at San Juan.
The state rankings for 2-A baseball are Manti first, Beaver second, Grand third, Gunnison fourth and Emery fifth.
The Lady Spartan softball team is currently in fourth place in the region with a 1-3 record. San Juan leads the region followed by Grand and Richfield. South Sevier is 0-5. Emery and South Sevier play twice in the next eight days. Emery hosts South Sevier Tuesday and then travels to San Juan Friday. Emery will then travel to South Sevier the following week along with a game against Richfield. The last two games are weather delayed games.
The state rankings for 2-A softball are Manti first, San Juan second, Enterprise third, South Summit fourth and Millard fifth.
In a make-up game last week, Richfield came to Castle Dale and defeated Emery 8-5. Richfield scored three runs each in the fifth and sixth innings to snare the win. Emery then traveled to Grand and avenged an earlier loss by defeating the host team 5-1 as starting pitcher Dillon Wilstead scattered five base hits through the game in picking up the win.
The Emery softball team has lost their last two games to San Juan and to Grand. Visiting San Juan jumped on Emery early and often in snaring a 19-5 road win. The Lady Spartans committed nine errors in the game to assist the hard hitting Bronco team. San Juan finished with 16 base hits including four home runs while Emery had seven base hits.
At Grand, Emery led 3-2 after first inning, trailed 5-4 after four innings only to see the Devils score six runs in the fifth inning to grab the lead and lose the game 11-6. Both teams had nine base hits in the game but six Emery errors assisted the Grand bats. Auminee Bennett and Makayla Clark hit home runs in the game for the Spartans while Bennett, Jeridi Price and Bryton Hess each hit a double.

Groton - Poquonnock Bridge Fire Chief Todd Paige told the district board Thursday it owes more than $461,000 this month, not including payroll, and the district will be out of money by February or March.
Paige also said the district owes Groton Utilities more than $99,000 for fire hydrant rentals.
Taxpayers recently approved a budget of $3.5 million for the year that began July 1, about half of what the board had sought and not enough to cover payroll. Voters also elected three new board members.
The new board met for the first time since that budget was set Thursday at the Groton Senior Center. Members authorized Paige to pay the bills owed for July and scheduled another meeting for 6:30 p.m. Monday at the Senior Center to come up with a future spending plan.
The board then went into executive session to discuss the firefighters' union contract as it relates to the budget.
About 40 taxpayers and firefighters attending the meeting Thursday, some of whom spoke angrily about the district's finances and potential cuts. Some demanded that reports be read aloud, shouting from their seats.
Others waited to speak.
"You are entrusted with a huge amount of tax money collected from us and it is definitely our business what you do with it," Cindy Baril said.
Other speakers said they're upset the district still hasn't fixed its ladder truck but is depending on Groton City for mutual aid.
Hank Steinford said he had a fire at his house earlier this year and the last truck to arrive was the City of Groton's ladder truck.
"Had it been a situation where someone was upstairs it would have been a disaster," he said.
One potential cut that may be considered would be to limit firefighters' response to medical calls. Firefighters in Poquonnock Bridge are considered first responders to medical calls, meaning they are dispatched along with an ambulance and often arrive first.
Joan Steinford, his wife and a member of Representative Town Meeting, said she's concerned about timely response to medical calls. She said a woman two doors away had a stroke, and the ambulance took almost 15 minutes. But Steinford said Poquonnock Bridge firefighters arrived quickly, got her oxygen and helped her.
"Time is of the essence with stroke," Steinford said. "I've had one."
Libbie Burdick, whose husband Robert Burdick served as Poquonnock fire chief from 1979 until his death in 1993, said of the board before the meeting: "They're playing with people's lives."
She told the board she was distressed by what has happened, and added, "I know he is."
She then presented a small bouquet to Paige to recognize the firefighters for their decades of service.
During an earlier interview, Noank Fire District Chairman Frank Socha said firefighters are frequently the first on the scene of an emergency.
Socha, who also has worked as a 911 dispatcher in Groton since 1989, said all of the town's fire departments, including Groton City, Noank, Mystic, Old Mystic and Center Groton, respond to emergency medical calls.
Groton has two ambulance services, Socha explained; Groton Ambulance on Route 117 and Mystic River Ambulance on Sandy Hollow Road, which covers a portion of Stonington.
Mystic River responds to Poquonnock Bridge only for mutual aid if Groton Ambulance is unavailable, Socha said.
He said because ambulances take patients to hospitals and answer multiple calls, crews may be at some distance when an emergency call comes in, and it could be eight to 10 minutes before an ambulance arrives. Those minutes can make a difference, he said.
"It's all about time, really," he said. "Time is the key element."

Westminster College provides equal access to higher education for academically qualified students with physical, learning, or psychiatric disabilities. Disability Services works with departments throughout the college to help ensure that programs and facilities are accessible to all members of the college community.
Eligibility for services is determined by the coordinator who conducts a comprehensive intake appointment with each student. Students who request program eligibility are asked to describe the nature and impact of the disability and prior use of accommodations (if any) to clarify how it may interact with living and learning on campus. Submitting relevant professional documentation is important and is used to confirm eligibility and support requests for accommodations, academic modifications, and/or other aids. Once eligibility is established, students meet with the program coordinator a minimum of once per semester to determine individualized accommodations.
Please complete the Disability Services Questionnaire to help us best assist you.
Disabilities are classified by the ADA as cognitive, mental health, medical or physical. Answer the following questions related to your disability as completely as possible and in your own words.
Please make sure you have answered all of the questions above and provided as much information as possible. Missing information or documentation can result in a delay of services.
After you have submitted the questionnaire, please call 801.832.2280 to set up a time to meet with our Coordinator of Disability Services, Karen Hicks. During this conversation Karen will review not only the questionnaire but also any documentation you bring with you.
First-year students may benefit from reading Students with Disabilities Preparing for Postsecondary Education, Know Your Rights and Responsibilities, a U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights brochure designed to help students understand the transition from the IDEA (K-12) to the ADA, as amended.
Transfer students need to check with the disability services program at their current institution to find out how to transfer disability documentation.

Instruction Memorandum No. 2005-247
Expires: 09/30/2006
To: All Field Officials
From: Director
Subject: National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Compliance for Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Development
Program Areas: Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Exploration and Operations; Lands and Realty (energy-related rights-of-way); Environmental Coordination.
Purpose: This Instruction Memorandum (IM) provides guidance for improved NEPA compliance in oil, gas, and geothermal exploration and development operations on public lands. It specifically provides instructions for developing a range of reasonable alternatives in environmental impact statements (EIS) for oil, gas, and geothermal development projects; interim guidance on the application and use of statutory NEPA categorical exclusions (CX), as granted in Section 390 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, for oil and gas exploration and development; expanded use of multiple well environmental assessments (EA) and EISs; expanded use of the Documentation of NEPA Adequacy (DNA); and consideration and application of Best Management Practices (BMP).
Background: Section 390 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the "Act") established five new statutory NEPA CXs. These exclusions are different in several respects from those historically used by the Bureau.
Additionally, the increasing number of approved and anticipated oil, gas, and geothermal projects on public lands, and the increase in the number, complexity, and controversy of EISs and other NEPA analyses associated with exploration and development of oil, gas, and geothermal resources, has prompted the need for additional national guidance.
Policy/Action: Field Offices are directed to incorporate the following NEPA procedures when analyzing and reviewing oil, gas, geothermal, and energy-related projects. This interim policy is in effect until Departmental Manuals, BLM Manuals, and/or BLM Handbooks are revised or additional guidance is issued.
Range of Alternatives
Departmental Manuals, guidance from the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), and BLM Handbooks contain guidance for developing a range of reasonable alternatives in NEPA documents. Additional guidance for developing a range of reasonable alternatives for oil, gas, and geothermal development EISs is contained in Attachment 1. The attached guidance applies to all EISs that have not as yet progressed beyond publication of a draft document, and strong consideration should be given to those documents in the final preparation stages (final EIS), but have not been approved for publication. Environmental Assessments are not addressed by the policy contained within Attachment 1.
Section 390 Categorical Exclusions (CX)
Section 390 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 established five new statutory CXs that apply only to oil and gas exploration and development (the CXs do not apply to geothermal actions). These CXs are different in application from the CXs previously used by the BLM, and are further described in Attachment 2.
Until further guidance is issued, the guidance in Attachment 2 is to be carefully followed to assure accurate and consistent application of the new CXs.
Field Offices shall maintain a structured, multi- or interdisciplinary permit review and approval process, conduct onsite exams for 100 percent of proposed well and road locations, and shall apply appropriate mitigation and BMPs to all permitted actions, in accordance with existing land use plans, full field development EIS, and other pertinent NEPA documents, even when actions are approved through the use of Section 390 CXs.
Multiple Well EA/EIS
An EA or EIS prepared for development of two or more oil, gas, or geothermal wells provides substantial time savings over writing individual EAs or EISs for each well approval and generally results in improved impact analysis.
Effective immediately, all BLM Offices will address multiple proposed activities (e.g. multiple wells within a field) through a single NEPA action, whenever practical (Attachment 3 provides specific guidance).
Documentation of NEPA Adequacy (DNA)
The appropriate use of DNAs for oil, gas and geothermal operations is to be expanded in all Field Offices (Attachment 4 and WO IM 2001-162 provide detailed guidance).
The use of Section 390 CXs is to be tracked and tabulated for Fiscal Year 2006 on the table in Attachment 5. If any Section 390 CXs were approved during Fiscal Year 2005, add them into the Fiscal Year 2006 table. Maintain the table in each Field Office as a reference for addressing future CX data calls.
Timeframe: Implement immediately.
Budget Impact: Full implementation of these policies is expected to provide substantial savings in staff time and budget associated with approval of APDs and related realty actions.
Manual/Handbook Sections Affected: NEPA Handbook H-1790-1.
Coordination: Coordination occurred among the Washington Office Fluid Minerals Group; Planning, Assessment and Community Support Group; Land and Realty Group; and Office of the Solicitor – Department of the Interior.
Contact: Please direct any questions to Tom Hare, Washington Office Fluid Minerals Group (WO-310), at (202) 452‑5182 or email@example.com, Jordon Pope, Washington Office Planning, Assessment and Community Support Group (WO-210), at (202) 452‑5048 or firstname.lastname@example.com, Ron Montagna, Lands and Realty Group (WO‑350), at (202) 452-7782 or firstname.lastname@example.com .

Rogaine Hair Regrowth Treatment for Women, Single Pack
- Overview
- Ingredients
- Features
- To regrow hair on the scalp
- It takes time to regrow hair
- You may need to use Rogaine for Women twice daily for at least 4 months before you see results
- Continued use for up to 8 months may be needed to see your best results
- Continued use twice daily is necessary or hair loss will begin again
- The amount of hair regrowth is different for each person. Rogaine for Women will not work for everyone. If you do not see any response after 4 months, stop use and see your doctor
- In clinical studies of mostly white women aged 18-45 years with mild to moderate degrees of hair loss, the following response to Rogaine was reported: 19% of women reported moderate hair regrowth after using Rogaine for 8 months (19% had moderate regrowth; 40% had minimal regrowth). This compares with 7% of women reporting moderate hair regrowth after using the placebo, the liquid without the active ingredient in it, for 8 months (7% had moderate regrowth; 33% had minimal regrowth). If your degree of hair loss is more than that shown on the side of carton, Rogaine may not work.
- About the brand
With 2% Minoxidil, Rogaine's hair regrowth treatment for women is medically proven to re-grow hair in women. One month supply.
Active Ingredient: Minoxidil 2% w/v.
Inactive Ingredients: Alcohol 60% v/v, Propylene Glycol 20% v/v, and Purified Water.
For external use only. Apply 1ml with dropper or sprayer (6 sprays) 2 times a day directly onto the scalp in the hair loss area. Using more or more often will not improve results. Do not apply on other parts of the body.
The first line of defense against hair loss, Rogaine uses FDA-approved minoxidil to battle hereditary hair loss and maximize growth potential. With formulas for men and women, Rogaine hair loss products help reverse the signs of hair loss and promote hair growth. Products include shampoo, foam and topical solutions.

In's And Out's Of This Product... And I Am A Professional Hair Stylist...This Rogaine for Women worked beautifully all except my scalp broke out in blisters and scabs.
I used it for 3 months and stopped, when my hair started to get thin again, I started using it again, only to find out that my scalp broke out in blisters and scabs. I guess I became allergic to it. But it really does work. I have an under-active Thyroid and that's why my hair fell out in the first place. I was told my skin was too sensitive to use it again, as I also have Fibromyalgia and the nerve endings didn't like the Rogaine, on my scalp. Also be prepaired to grow hair in other places on your face as it does spread. But I have to say ..... it did grow hair...!!!!Nov 2, 2010Gail G. / Greenfield Center, NYHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Works Great!I noticed my hairline was thinning. My dermatologist recommended Rogaine. I have been using the product for about 6 months. My hair is now fuller and looks great with no thinning. I have had increased body and facial hair, but can take care of it easily. My eyelashes are even longer. I am very pleased with my healthy head of hair.May 12, 2009Anonymous / Baltimore, Md

Works Well For MeI have been using Rogaine for about 6 years now and it has helped to keep my hair loss to a minimum. Androgenic alopecia runs in my family, so I knew what I would look like by the time I was 50. I am now 46, and my hair loss has been essentially stable for the past 6 years. The side effects that I have noticed are that the new hair growth is somewhat coarser and I get occasional facial hair (easily removed by tweezing). I would highly recommend this product.Sep 2, 2006Whisper / Pennsylvania

Rogaine For WomenIve had good success with this product. My hair has always been thin and thinned further as I aged. During my early 40s, the thinning became pronounced in the front, sides, and at the crown. By using the Rogaine in each of those areas, my hair grew back there. Its no thicker than it ever was, but its as it was during my 20s and 30s. I still have periodic hair shedding periods, but following each period, the Rogaine again helps the hair to regrow. I keep my hair relatively short (just past shoulders) and use no dye other than Henna to cover gray.Feb 3, 2005Wr / California, USA

What is the Daily Dot?
Perhaps @twitmericks put it best:
That covers what's hot and what's not
Blogs, wikipedia,
Memes, social media
Webwise, the Dot's got the lot
The Daily Dot is the hometown newspaper of the World Wide Web. It is the paper of record of the digital community. From the virtual street corners, town squares, and back alleys that make up the online world, it reports the noteworthy daily occurrences and provides a forum to debate the day's issues. It is the story of this new and vibrant place.
Above all, The Daily Dot will be tirelessly dedicated to the truth. The truth shall be our first and our last defense, and it will be our constant quest. We will not shy from taking a side, but that side will always be that of the truth. We will recognize no higher order, no greater god.
The Daily Dot will be a citizen servant of the community — friend, brother, confidant, and confederate of its members. Ultimately, it will be about people, as any story about a community must be. And it will treat each person with compassion, though its interest will be the community's interest — not the majority's, the minority's, or any faction, but the interest of the whole.
The Daily Dot will seek to open up the world it covers, to illuminate, to "hold the mirror up" and paint a complete portrait of all, ignoring no issue as too trivial, no individual too obscure. The honest and unflinching picture it will present will extend even to itself, and it will strive for absolute candor in describing its own decisions, triumphs, and failures.
And it will use every tool and all of its imagination to bring these lofty goals to each individual reader as efficiently and effectively as possible. You deserve nothing less.
Today more people are in direct communication than ever in human history. The global online community is the largest body politic in the world and it is growing rapidly, stretching across geography, boundaries, and borders. The twentieth century saw the rise of problems too big for any single country to fix or even contain. The worldwide community growing online in the twenty-first century may be the best hope for a new era of peace, prosperity, and harmony that we have ever seen.
So, welcome to The Daily Dot. We're glad you're here.
— Nicholas White, cofounder and CEO

Vanessa Baldwin, exhibition project curator, British Museum
Many of the objects on display in the exhibition Life and death in Pompeii and Herculaneum, are not artefacts, they are people's possessions. The people living in these two cities saw them and used them every day; they commissioned them or bought them for each other, and for themselves.
After years of researching, planning, designing and building, the exhibition is now open and it's all about the people – people going through their daily lives with no idea of what was coming; the volcanic eruption in AD 79 that destroyed their cities, their lives over in an instant.
My favourite object, at the moment – because it does change from moment to moment – is a marble plaque from Herculaneum. It was set up between two houses and on one side it reads: 'this is the property of Marcus Nonius Dama, private and in perpetuity'. And on the other side it reads, 'this is the wall of Julia, private and in perpetuity'.
Marcus and Julia were ex-slaves, and they were living next door to each other. They must have had some sort of dispute about the boundary between their houses and this plaque was set up to resolve it. The extraordinarily human stories like this one are what I love most in the exhibition: to know people's names, know who they were living next door to, and how they might have lived.
Seeing the trucks full of objects arriving from Italy really took our breath away. To then see them emerge from their crates to become part of a design that we'd only ever seen on paper has been the most special experience.
Over the 15 months I've been working on the exhibition, it has been a privilege to share the process of staging an exhibition with the curator Paul Roberts and the many fantastic people in the Museum who've worked alongside us. To go from object research and selection to their arrival and installation has been a whirlwind that I'll never forget.
And now we get to share the stories, the objects and the people of Pompeii and Herculaneum with everyone.
Life and death in Pompeii and Herculaneum is open from 28 March 2013.
The exhibition is sponsored by Goldman Sachs.
In collaboration with Soprintendenza Speciale per I Beni Archeologici di Napoli e Pompei.

Printed jeans are in full force this season, and Joe's Jeans is out to show us how we can rock their latest Printed Denim Collection for Spring 2012. Expect to find floral jeans inspired by interior design and Pop Art; a tribal print, a muted leopard jean and a snake print skinny. Famed photographer Tao Ruspoli was commissioned to shoot this short film, featuring models strutting around a mansion, really nailing the fierce printed jeans look. Creative Director, Joe Dahan shares, "This collection is very playful yet sophisticated. We drew inspiration from impressionists and other art forms including music, the streets, nature and interior design." His favorite print, Electric Blue Pop Art Daisy, blends abstract and pop art elements for a high fashion statement piece. Check out the film below for more insight.
There are more styles from The Joe's Jeans Printed Denim Collection, available at Neiman Marcus online.
