Multipole Expansion Approach
Print book
Micromechanics of Composites: Multipole Expansion Approach is the first book to introduce micromechanics researchers to a more efficient and accurate alternative to computational micromechanics, which requires heavy computational effort and the need to extract meaningful data from a multitude of numbers produced by finite element software code. In this book Dr. Kushch demonstrates the development of the multipole expansion method, including recent new results in the theory of special functions and rigorous convergence proof of the obtained series solutions. The complete analytical solutions and accurate numerical data contained in the book have been obtained in a unified manner for a number of the multiple inclusion models of finite, semi- and infinite heterogeneous solids. Contemporary topics of micromechanics covered in the book include composites with imperfect and partially debonded interface, nanocomposites, cracked solids, statistics of the local fields, and brittle strength of disordered composites.
A multidisciplinary audience consisting of researchers, professionals and graduate students in materials science, mechanics, engineering, applied mathematics, physics and related areas dealing with heterogeneous solids.

"Kushch presents the multipole expansion method as an alternative to computational micromechanics for analyzing heterogeneous materials on the level of individual constituents. Being mostly analytical in nature, he says, it constitutes a theoretical basis for high-performance computational algorithms and has found applications in astronomy, physics, chemistry, engineering, statistics, and other fields."--Reference & Research Book News, October 2013

Skip to comments.A Hiroshima Apology? (State Dept "to express respect for all the victims of World War II")
Posted on 08/06/2010 9:08:07 AM PDT by mojito
click here to read article
Germany was a sovereign nation. It was Japan that attacked us. < /sarc >
The above is the same type of argument the Left used when we resumed the Gulf War in Iraq (Saddam had already broken the peace).
The only type of war that the Left would approve of would be like the one that happened in the movie Red Dawn. Where the Russians invade the U.S. I'm sure they'll love the remake coming out this fall, at least up to the part where America starts winning...
According to the 2002 International Symposium on the Crimes of Bacteriological Warfare, the number of people killed by the Imperial Japanese Army germ warfare and human experiments is around 580,000.
> My Father was at Guadacanal, Tarawa and Saipan. He would roll over in his grave if he knew we had apologized to the Japs.
So was my father. He'd roll over too.
Now there's at least two of us who think so! ;^)
Then we can accept their thanks for not killing every last one of them.
I think this is incorrect. It's been done already, or at least some kind of apology offered.
Hiroshima 65 years later; US attends ceremony, but offers no apology
Obamah, the America-Hating Mongrel President!
Japan deserved it. The country was on a murderous rampage and needed to be put down. We didn't start it but we damn well finished it!!!
There have been many discussions of Hiroshima & Nagasaki (this poster has been to Japan & visited China in Sept. 2010) but my thoughts.
My position always has & always will be that if the U.S. wanted to show Japan the atom bomb's strength, then they should've been dropped on a military base & arms factory where there would been 1,500-3,000 civilians killed & wounded as a result of collateral damage rather than the 150,000 + killed in Hiroshima & Nagasaki, as there were many places in Japan where they could've been dropped with fewer civilians killed.
With that said, yes, President Harry S. Truman did what he believed would end the war & save American lives because a ground war would've been bloody. Most survivors of Hiroshima & Nagasaki have said that they don't blame President Harry S. Truman for using the atom bomb, because if Japan & Germany had possessed the atom bomb, they would've used them-both nations tried to build the atom bomb & germ warfare (such as Shiro Ishi's fleabombs similar to daisy cutters used in Vietnam only with fleas) was used by the Imperial Japanese military against the Chinese.
There must be 1 thing considered. The atom bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki was a continuation of the policy both the Allies & Axis had of bombing cities to get the other side to surrender be it Peking, Shanghai, Nanking, London, Coventry, Dresden, Pforzeim, Tokyo, etc. For me, it's wrong to deliberately target civlians to end a war, but sadly this was the policy of both sides.
Now if people want to say that by dropping the atom bombs, that it ended the war, then so be it. What must not be overlooked is that the kids killed in wars are innocent victims. The 4 year old kids killed in Hiroshima & Nagasaki along with the small kids killed in Dresden are innocent. Even if their fathers, uncles, etc. committed atrocities such as Rape of Nanking, Bataan Massacre or the Holocaust, the small kids killed in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden, etc. are innocent victims regardless of what 1's position is on Hiroshima & Nagasaki or for the main matter, the policy of bombing civilians to get the enemy to surrender.
We didn't start the fire...the Axis powers lit that fuse.
We extinguished the fire.
I'll admit my bias: my dad was training for the invasion of Japan.
And I never try to view past actions through the prism of 2010 morality.
Do what I did: make a couple of trips to concentration camps like Dachau and Flossenburg, and see if that doesn't wash away your guilt.
Thank you for your thoughts & glad to know that your dad didn't have to partake in an invasion of Japan. While I haven't been to the concentration camps as you have (Dachau & Flossenburg), as some1 who has read many history books on the 2 World Wars, Korean War & Vietnam, I am very knowledgeable about Nazi Germany & Imperial Japan's might which began during the late 1800s (Dreadnoughts & Franco-German war of the late 1800s along with Japan's Meiji Restoration) ending with the crushing defeat of boths nations in 1945. But I feel you're not understanding the main point.
My issue here isn't whether people believe in the use of the atom bombs. But rather who the victims are. Most Japanese & German people are fine & they've done nice things for humanity & science to be proud of-Beethoven, Bach & German & Japanese cars are pretty good. The Nazis along with Japan's violent history with China, Korea & much of Asia during WW2 are bad periods in both nations histories.
You agree with President Harry S. Truman's decision to use the atom bomb, but I hope you don't blame the 5 year old girl or boy who was killed in Hiroshima & Nagasaki for what happened in Nanking, Bataan, etc. Columnist Pat J. Buchanan has discussed Hiroshima & Nagasaki & written that small kids who were killed are war's innocent victims.
Yes you're right, that the Axis did start the fire. But what is sad about wars is that quite often, those who did nothing wrong end up being the 1s killed & wounded. Wars are something which are out of the ordinary understanding. Your thoughts are again welcome, but I don't know if we'll be able to raise anything which is significantly new which hasn't already been discussed since the war ended so long ago.
The Truman administration was originally going to target Kyoto. Secretary of War Stimson urged Truman for humanitarian and cultural reasons to spare Kyoto, and Truman complied. That was a great act of humanity; far greater than Japan showed any of its adversaries.
I see you're brand spanking new hear on Free Republic. Odd that your first rather liberal comments should appear on a thread over two months old. Until I see a reason to consider differently, I'm going to have you on Troll Alert.
For the record I have posted on other topics, but don't understand why call me a troll. I happen to have an interest in 20th Century War history, have traveled to Europe, Asia (China, India, Thailand & Japan) & many states in the U.S.
I have discussed the atrocities committed by the Imperial Japanese military such as Rape of Nanking, Bataan Massacre, Shiro Ishii's Flea Bombs. I read the book the Rape of Nanking by the late Iris Chang (also her book the Chinese in America, a Narrative history). I am fluent in the atrocities that the Imperial Japanese Armed forces did, incl. Unit-731 experiments in Manchuria-similar to Nazi experiments done in the concentration camps-Shiro Ishii would be the Josef Mengele of Asia.
My point with regard to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden & other cities bombed during the war if you understood my post isn't so much about the atomic bombings, but rather to focus on the victims & to reiterate that the kids are innocent. Why is that a 'liberal' issue? The Mormon Church (LDS) has said the kids killed in wars are innocent & so has columnist Pat J. Buchanan. I don't understand your 2nd paragraph & I don't see what I wrote which makes it so controversial. Please educate.
The blood of those kids is on Hitler's and Tojo's hands, not ours.
If you're really concerned about the fate of innocents, you might start by reading the Book of Exodus, and pondering the words there.
Until you show otherwise, I will remain convinced that you're a troll.

Reseña del editor
Filled with righteous rage, Dacian and Onja defend their newly liberated home from tabre attack. No longer hobbled by dreams of rys and tabre unity, Dacian crafts enchanted weapons and trains the rys to fight. Onja's love fills his emptiness, and together they reach toward even greater magical powers. As the rys and tabre clash, Onja's faithful warrior Amar faces many challenges while raising an army for her. Can he dominate the Overlord of the Kez? Will Amar expose himself to the carnal charms of the Shamaness Loxane to gain a new ally? Can he give up his lust for Princess Demeda and ransom her to the Temulanka Tribe as his duty demands? While he sows war across the tribal kingdoms, Onja also enthralls the savages of the Nufalese frontier and unleashes their brutal hordes upon vulnerable settlements. Desperate to defend his people, Cruce Chenomet and his comrades trade wenching and drinking for grueling battles. His passionate dalliance from the year before unexpectedly becomes a vexing relationship. Bombarded by threats both to his body and heart, Cruce quickly loses hope but keeps his courage as he confronts the savage storm.
Biografía del autor
I've always written stories. When I was a kid I wrote stories and drew pictures for them and stapled them together to make books. My mother recently showed me one of these little books apparently based on my older brother's Dungeons & Dragons gaming. When I was 14 I wrote a sci fi novel. When I was 15 I wrote a fantasy novel. I set them aside and never looked at them again. Then I grew up and had some adventures and became disillusioned about most everything except my dream of being a novelist. In 1997 at the age of 25 I started writing again. Now it's 2011 and I am working on my eighth novel. No publisher was ever interested in me. I stopped beating my head on that door in 2004. But rejection from people who could never care about my dream only emboldened me. I began self publishing my fantasy fiction in 2005. That was before being an indie author was cool. Despite relentless obscurity and general disrespect, I was always encouraged by a steady trickle of sales and the occasional kind comment from a reader. To be honest, being a novelist is always a struggle. I get criticized in public and don't get called by any movie producers, but also every day someone somewhere buys my novels and that amazes me. I'm humbled by my readers. I will always do my best to craft stories worthy of them. I love the stories I write, and sometimes other people like them too. I'm having a good dream.

This review is from: TRENDnet TEW-731BR N300 Wireless Home Router
Pros: Low cost, great wireless coverage, fast when it was working
Cons: Drops signal, hard to login to router
Other Thoughts: I have owned this router for about 4 months. One day it stopped working all together. I had my ISP come over to try and configure it to get service from my modem and I had TRENDnet customer support assist me. My ISP said everything is fine on my modem and showed me. However, TRENDnet tech support had no clue what was going on and the Rep said she would have her supervisor give me a call back in an hour to an hour and a half later. I never received a call back that day, and here it is a week later and I still haven't received word from anyone. If you need support from TRENDnet good luck getting it.READ FULL REVIEW

In my opinion primers are great however I also feel that they are kinda unnecessary and here is why. Skin is so important that it first needs to be treated with proper skin prep. A lot of good artist start with the skin first. When I work with a model or Bride I always start with a fresh wash of the face and then I use a few products to prepare the skin to hold the makeup. Eye primers are super important for bridal because they truly hold shadows for an all day wear. The eye should also be prepped first with an eye team then a primer can be applied. With all the different face primers how do we know which one to choose? Again in my opinion it's a great new marketing ploy to make a lot of money for an unnecessary product. If you treat the skin the way it should be prepped than a primer seems to be an unnecessary step. If you have large pores it is nice to use a mattifyer to smooth the skin. Remember ladies texture on the skin is almost impossible to change. Only years of laser treatments are recommended to even out skin texture.
Not Just a Wedding Artist
I love weddings! They are such a wonderful experience. You get to be with a person on their most special moments in life. When I'm not doing weddings I'm pursuing my ultimate passion, and that is editorial and fashion work. Sure I have also worked in television and film but my heart is truly in fashion. It really gives me a opportunity to get creative. With weddings I listen to what my bride wants and I execute her vision the way she wants. With fashion it is an outlet for me to express my vision. Please follow me on my editorial Instagram page where you can see all the beautiful work I have created with my crazy talented friends. I can be found on Instagram @alileemua. My work has even been featured on Vogue Italia among many awesome publications worldwide.

Product Rave
A lot of times when I work with my clients I get asked a lot of questions about my favorite products. So I thought I would give you a product that I love to rave about from time to time. For those of you who have worked with me know how much I love skin care. Just recently I started integrating more skin care prep when I'm shooting beauty editorials. I have always been a huge fan of the Caudalie Line. You can find this brand in Sephora. One of my absolute favorite products from them is there grape water. It brings the moisture levels up in the skin over 127%. This is a great product I like to use even when I am working with brides. You can mist it over the skin before yours about to apply make up and can also be used over makeup.

Forty-five years ago, Town Hall was the setting of an unforgettable concert featuring two of America's leading cabaret performers. Mabel Mercer and Bobby Short were the most popular cabaret artists of their day, drawing legions of fans to clubs wherever they went. Their pairing resulted in a stylish musical evening that harkened back to decades before in New York society and nightlife. Now Jazz at Lincoln Center will host a tribute to those amazing artists, featuring a lineup of some of today's leading practitioners of the intimate and enduring art of cabaret. Among those scheduled to appear are Joyce Breach, Eric Comstock, Natalie Douglas, Barbara Fasano, Lauren Fox, Eric Yves Garcia, Clint Holmes, Tanya Holt, Andrea Marcovicci, Karen Mason, Marissa Mulder, Karen Oberlin, Rex Reed, Lumiri Tubo, Tamara Tunie, Iris Williams and Larry Woodward.

I'm so excited for new episodes!!! This is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen! I'm in the US, so I really hope some of you Brits will record the show and upload it for all of us who are forced to watch lame American comedies. The only comedy better than this is AbFab in my opinion, but It Crowd is a very close second.

Nothing surprises me anymore in this game. So if NSR closes down today I wouldn't be shocked. Not real happy though. But if you are into technicals, NSR is scary overbought based on its 14 day RSI. It was overbought before the great earnings report and guidance and even more so now. Then again, if you are in for the long haul, don't fret and pick up some more on any dips.
This stock was bumping along @ $22-$23 last August. Anytime you have a stock up over 70% in 6 months you are going to have a bunch of people-institutions who are going to follow the advice of the Steve Miller song: Take the money and run. Can't blame them,but I think this stock will be much higher in a year,so am willing to wait.

The Office of Advocacy's 63-page report maintains that it has aided small business. Beyond the first year savings, the office — through congressional testimony, roundtable meetings, formal comments and training at agencies — also helped ease employers' annually occurring regulatory pain by $1.2 billion, the report said.
"Advocacy continues to work with the regulatory agencies to encourage them to consider the impact of their regulations on small entities from the beginning of rule development," the report says.
"Instead of focusing like a laser on advancing the unique interests of small business, it's spending too much of its time, and too many taxpayer dollars, acting as a federal outpost for big business and its anti-regulatory agenda," said Sidney Shapiro, of Wake Forest University School of Law and a co-author of the CPR report.
The Office of Advocacy declined comment on the reports upon their release. But the National Federation of Independent Business sprang to the office's defense, saying issues raised in the report are minor and isolated.

Schaefer: Nothing Preventing Donaire-Mares Negotiations
By Rick Reeno
Richard Schaefer, CEO for Golden Boy Promotions, advised BoxingScene.com that WBC super bantamweight champion Abner Mares (24-0-1, 13KOs) is not contractually bound to either network, Showtime or HBO.
Schaefer wanted to clear up any confusion after some of the recent comments that appeared on BoxingScene , where Top Rank's CEO, Bob Arum, stated that Mares' involvement with Showtime would prevent a possible unification with WBO champion Nonito Donaire (28-1, 18KOs).
"HBO is the premiere network and to its credit has embraced this division," insists Arum of the network which will showcase Donaire in his fourth straight fight. "Mares is a very good fighter, but he has to be willing to perform on the premiere network which is HBO and not on the secondary network that is Showtime."
There is nothing that prevents Mares from facing Donaire on HBO, says Schaefer, but the Golden CEO believes the high-stakes unification should go to the network which presents the most lucrative offer for the fight.
"I saw these comments that he made about Showtime, but this is just typical Arum. Everybody is so tired of this guy. He lives in a different era, the ice age. It's just surprising that HBO is [dealing with him], because HBO is going to get fooled again. Everybody who deals with this guy gets fooled. HBO using him to be their spokesperson is surprising. It is what it is," Schaefer told BoxingScene.com.
"There are no agreements [binding Mares to either network]. I think the fighters should go where they could make the most money. That's where they should go. Now he's talking about a Donaire-Mares fight because that's what everybody would like to see, but he's not serious. We know that. The guy will do tune-up after tune-up and strings everybody along and makes everybody believe that eventually something big is going to happen and it never happens. He is famous for his quotes about marinating stuff. The chief marinator."
Schaefer is open to sitting down with Top Rank and working out a mutually beneficial agreement to do the fight, but he doesn't expect to receive any phone calls.
"The unfortunate thing is he gets fight fans fired up and excited about certain matchups that people would like to see and in the end he doesn't deliver," Schaefer said.
"In a way it's funny. If you look at some of those videos when he was going off on the UFC, that all of the guys are gays and rolling around on the floor. If you look at some of these videos, the guy is hilarious. They should book him at the Wynn in a comedy show. His buddy Steve [Wynn] should book him at the Wynn, at the lounge bar, and he can do comedy. He's a standup comedian. You can't take serious anything this guy says."
I like the idea Mares - Rigo winner vs Donaire - Nishioka winnerComment by DoktorSleepless on 06-28-2012
Abner Mares would be the underdog. I see no reason why Bob would be against making this fight as long as it makes him money. But I understand why Arce and Nishioka would be in front of the line. Also,…Comment by Pretty Boy Greg on 06-28-2012

by Linda Wolfe
Ricardo Caputo, with his Latin-lover looks and his Old World manners, was a master seducer. He wrote love poems to his girlfriends, took romantic vacations with them and even charmed their parents. Unfortunately, Caputo also developed a nasty habit of killing women who loved him.
True-crime journalist Linda Wolfe (Wasted, Double Life) has more than a professional interest in Caputo: One of the women he is suspected of killing—Jacqui Bernard, a 62-year-old social activist—was her friend. Wolfe is obsessed with finding out how Caputo could have fooled the women—many of them well-educated and presumably savvy professionals—he victimized cross-country starting in the 1970s. The one trait they shared, Wolfe suggests, was their desire to nurture a man. Though Wolfe tries to convince herself that she would have recognized Caputo for the "beautiful snake" he was, she comes to the haunting conclusion that any one of us could have been fooled by him.
Though Love Me to Death lacks the propulsive suspense of the best crime books, Wolfe's outrage—which peaks when Caputo claims insanity at his 1994 trial for the murder of Natalie Brown, a Manhattan bank teller—is a wonder to behold. (Eventually he pleaded guilty to manslaughter; he died in prison last October at 48.) Unfortunately her personal involvement works against her; too often we hear about her own reactions rather than the crimes. For all of Wolfe's legwork, Caputo remains a terrifying enigma.

This book gives a coherent and comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of OFDM signal processing, with a distinctive focus on its broad range of applications. It evaluates the architecture, design and performance of a number of OFDM variations, discusses coded OFDM, and gives a detailed study of error correction codes for access networks, 100 Gb/s Ethernet and future optical networks.
The emerging applications of optical OFDM, including single-mode fiber transmission, multimode fiber transmission, free space optical systems, and optical access networks are examined, with particular attention paid to passive optical networks, radio-over-fiber, WiMAX and UWB communications.
Written by two of the leading contributors to the field, this book will be a unique reference for optical communications engineers and scientists. Students, technical managers and telecom executives seeking to understand this new technology for future-generation optical networks will find the book invaluable.
William Shieh is an associate professor and reader in the electrical and electronic engineering department, The University of Melbourne, Australia. He received his M.S. degree in electrical engineering and Ph.D. degree in physics both from University of Southern California.

"This wonderful book is the first one to address the rapidly emerging optical OFDM field. Written by two leading researchers in the field, the book is structured to comprehensively cover any optical OFDM aspect one could possibly think of, from the most fundamental to the most specialized. The book adopts a coherent line of presentation, while striking a thoughtful balance between the various topics, gradually developing the optical-physics and communication-theoretic concepts required for deep comprehension of the topic, eventually treating the multiple optical OFDM methods, variations and applications. In my view this book will remain relevant for many years to come, and will be increasingly accessed by graduate students, accomplished researchers as well as telecommunication engineers and managers keen to attain a perspective on the emerging role of OFDM in the evolution of photonic networks." -- Prof. Moshe Nazarathy, EE Dept., Technion, Israel Institute of Technology
"Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing is one of the enabling transmission technologies with a range of traditional and newly emerging applications. This is the first book that comprehensively and coherently covers the escalating field of optical OFDM. This is an excellent book that can serve both as an introduction for graduate students and also as a reference book for researchers and engineers interested in the current state-of-the-art in this field." -- Prof. Sergei K. Turitsyn, Photonics Research Group, Aston University

Brunt of winter storm 'Nemo' expected in other parts of New EnglandBy Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer | February 07,2013Vermonters and visitors to the state will be treated to a wintry weekend but will be spared the full and mighty wrath of winter storm Nemo.
The first major storm of 2013 is expected to pummel parts of Massachusetts, and southern regions of New Hampshire and Maine with more than two feet of snow, but snowfall totals for most of Vermont are expected to fall far shy of that mark.
"We're going to be more of a spectator on this one," said Roger Hill, meteorologist for Worcestor, Vt.-based Weathering Heights. "It looks like a historic Nor'easter that will just graze Vermont."
Forecasters are calling for between 7 inches and 10 inches of snow to fall across the state, beginning Friday morning and continuing until Saturday afternoon. However, residents and travelers through the higher elevations of Windham County can expect as much has 20 inches before it's all over.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The Vermont State Colleges System Board of Trustees voted unanimously Thursday to...

AUSTIN (AP) - As if Texas and Nebraska need another rivalry.
Saturday's matchup between these budding rivals is one of the Big 12's premiere games this season, thanks to Texas upsets in the 1996 conference title game and a 20-16 win last year in Lincoln, Neb., that stopped the Cornhuskers' home winning streak at 47 games.
"It's two of the best programs in the country," said Texas coach Mack Brown.
Now, beating Oklahoma and Texas A&M isn't enough for No. 18 Texas (5-2, 2-1 Big 12).
Third-ranked Nebraska (6-0, 3-0) represents the top competition in the league and the level of consistency the Longhorns strive for, Brown said.
"This is a big game from the standpoint that both schools have great traditions. Nebraska has been consistently a top 10 team and we've been up and down in recent years," Brown said.
"We need to get that consistency back."
The Cornhuskers' trip to Austin is their first since 1960.
The teams won't play each other again in the regular season until 2002. Because Texas is in the Big 12 South Division and Nebraska is the North, the teams aren't scheduled to play annually unless they should meet in the league championship game.
Unlike last year when Nebraska struggled to 9-4 in coach Frank Solich's first season, the Cornhuskers look as good as ever, Brown said.
"They are back," Brown said.
Nebraska's first-team defense hasn't surrendered a rushing touchdown this season.
Even so, Brown said Texas can't rely solely on the passing of quarterback Major Applewhite to win.
Junior tailback Hodges Mitchell rushed for 204 yards and a touchdown in the Longhorns' 38-28 win over Oklahoma two weeks ago. Texas and Nebraska both were idle last week.
"I don't think we can protect well enough to be one dimensional and just throw the ball," Brown said. We're going to be have to be able to run."
Seventh-ranked Kansas State forced Texas to throw in a 35-17 Wildcats victory. The Longhorns turned the ball over six times on three interceptions and three fumbles by Applewhite.
"(Nebraska) is every bit as good as Kansas State," Brown said.
"They're so quick and that's hard for us," he said. "We have a big offensive line and we've had problems against quick defenses."

When the first BCS Standings came out, many people were questioning the Florida Gators placement at No. 2. After the 44-11 beatdown given to the South Carolina Gamecocks, the Gators proved to the nation that they are a legit contender for the BCS National Championship.
The No.3 Florida Gators hold a 7-0 (6-0 in SEC ) record and ultimately need just one more conference victory against the Georgia Bulldogs to have their tickets punched to Atlanta, Georgia to represent the SEC East in 2012 SEC Championship Game.
Looking out to the West, there are currently three teams in the hunt for the SEC West. There are the No.13 Mississippi State Bulldogs 7-0 (3-0 in SEC), the No.6 LSU Tigers 7-1 (6-1 in SEC) and the Crimson Tide of Alabama 7-0 (4-0), who hasn't lost any ground in the Top 25 and still sits at No. 1 atop the FBS.
I'm projecting the Florida Gators to finish the regular season undefeated, since they can easily defeat No. 12 Georgia and a tumbling Chris Thompson-less Florida State team. With three other games against a weak transitioning Missouri Tigers team, a somewhat tough Ragin' Cajun La. Lafayette team out of the Sun Belt and a FCS school in Jacksonville State, it's hard not to see the Gators going into the SEC Championship Game with nothing less than a 12-0 record.
I am also projecting that Nick Saban's Crimson Tide to go undefeated. With two tough tasks ahead of them, this will be the time we see close calls for upsets against Alabama. I fully expect the Bulldogs of Mississippi State, to keep the game close, but will fall off in the fourth quarter.
I expect LSU to take 'Bama to the final whistle, but lose to the Tide by a field goal. After the two tasks are completed, the Tigers will take on a tough Aggies squad at home (which they should beat) and finish the year against two weak teams in Western Carolina and Auburn.
With the Crimson Tide and Gators both standing at 12-0, the 2012 SEC Championship winner will get its tickets punched to Miami Gardens, Florida for the 2012 BCS National Championship Game.
The Tide are sitting on cloud nine right now and believe they can't be touched. Here are three reasons why Alabama should fear the Florida Gators.
