TRAVERSE CITY — Millard "Norm" Hall, 88, died peacefully at Munson Hospice, Wednesday evening, Dec. 5, 2012, and although he went home to be with his Lord and his beloved Irene, members of his family feel certain he drove there in an old Mustang he called Little Red.
He was born in a house on Hall Ridge, high on the banks of the Ohio River, in Cave-In-Rock, Ill., on April 25, 1924, to Phrona Milligan Hall and Kenneth Hall. Although raised in foster care, he told wonderful stories of life on the farm with his sister, Vivian, and wild tales of the Hall relatives and a host of characters from town with names like Snap-Eye Tedlock and Uncle Wid. He and Vivian would milk the cows and do their chores before walking to the one-room schoolhouse and thought nothing of running bare-foot from copperheads across the fields to Grandpa's. Norm always had sugar in his pocket for the blue-black colt, Ribbon, and he knew the names of all the mules. Truth be told, he was just as stubborn.
Norm and Vivian moved to 13th and John R in the Detroit area when he was 12, where they lived with Grandpa and Granny Hall.
After he graduated from Royal Oak High School, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy on June 25, 1943. He proudly served as an airplane mechanic at Navy Pier in Chicago.
He was blessed with five more sisters and a brother, Thelma, Frank, Alta, Judy, Sue and Gloria, and a dear stepmother, Louvain.
In his own words, he fell in love with the most beautiful woman in the world, Irene, and in 1949 they moved to Dearborn with their only child, Norma Irene Hall. Norm started his apprenticeship with Ford Motor Company, Aug. 26, 1949, and he retired from the Livonia Transmission Plant in 1980, when he and Irene started building houses, first at Burt Lake, then Eastport and finally they moved to Traverse City.
Fixing things and buying cars were twin passions. It didn't matter if he was fixing the hydraulic system of one of the huge machines at Ford or the bikes of all the kids in the neighborhood, who called him Mr. Norm. He loved cars and boats and fishing, and never missed an opportunity to be out on the water or hitting the highway to the Porcupine Mountains or the Columbian Icefields in the Canadian Rockies. The man owned 34 Ford vehicles.
Norm was also a wonderful daddy who spent hours driving around his daughter and her friends, whom he fondly called "The Belles of Dearborn."
And he was always horsing around with Norma's cousins. Somehow he would pick out a strength in each of us and help us believe in the best of ourselves. He found great joy with his granddaughter, Jyoti, teaching her to be still and let the birds and the squirrels come to her, and laughing at his grandson, Jason, who never was still and liked to ride around the yard on Papa's lawn tractor. Papa Hall never failed to hoot and holler when his great-granddaughter, Megan, would grab his wheelchair and pretend to run over his toes, and he felt blessed, we are sure, when he met his new great-grandson, Liam.
Every Sunday he and Irene would be at Northwestern Church of God in Detroit and then the wonderful congregation at Farmington Hills; and finally when they moved to Traverse City they were welcomed into the loving church family at Bayview Wesleyan Church. A heartfelt thanks goes out for all the visits, cards and letters over the past 10 years.
Norm is survived by his daughter, Norma Hall Zelenko, and his favorite son-in-law, John Zelenko; grandchildren, Jyoti Brianna Graham and Jason Daniel Zelenko; great-grandchildren, Megan Elise Graham and Liam Preston Miilu; sisters, Vivian, Thelma (Ray) Heathcott, Judy (Terry) Wilhelm, Sue (Luis) Arocho and Gloria (Mike) Slifka; cousin, Gerry (Ruth) Hall; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife, Irene; as well as his sister, Alta; his brother, Frank; and his dear brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.
His family wishes to express their gratitude to the good people at Comfort Keepers, Glen Eagle and Munson Hospice. Special thanks goes out to his former neighbors, the Schrebes and the Bakers and his dearly beloved oncologist, Dr. Judith Ramsdell, who has given him a hug every year since 1983.
Here's to you, Daddy, from each of us who watched wide-eyed as you sprinkled "woofle dust" from your pocket and found a quarter behind our ear. We will always love you.
Visitation will be held from 3 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 9, at Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home. A celebration of life will take place at 11 a.m. Monday, Dec. 10, at the funeral home, with Pastor Matt Mabey officiating.
Memorial contributions may be directed to Munson Hospice.
Please share memories with the family at Norm's online guestbook at www.reynolds-jonkhoff.com.
The family is being served by Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home and Cremation Services.

Christie meets with recovery volunteers in Monmouth County
Dozens of volunteers took a break from working at a make-shift shelter in Monmouth County Monday to hear first hand from Governor Christie on the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
"What an incredible place, done all by you, for each other in a time of extraordinary crisis and challenge," Christie said standing outside Bolger School in Keansburg. "I want to tell you this is one of the most inspirational things I've seen in the last week."
Volunteers unloaded cases of water and other food donations and cars pulled up to get supplies. Even though the school doesn't have power, it's using a generator to feed community members who can't return to their homes or who lost their houses.
Many roads, including Route 35, are still without power and the flood damage is evident in the piles of destroyed furniture and belongings heaped outside of houses and businesses.
Some of the volunteers watched their homes wash away in the flood water created by Hurricane Sandy, but went to the school anyway to offer their help.
"You did this, all of you," Christie said. "I'm just overwhelmed by all the people who walked up to me and told they are here, they volunteered, they volunteered to be here to help their neighbors."
Christie brought with him 34 cases of candy, courtesy of Nestle, so children can enjoy a belated Halloween celebration.
"Plenty of candy to keep you guys all night, I'm sure the parents will really be thanking me tomorrow," Christie said. "I know a lot of families are dealing with difficult circumstances. I hope that at least having some of that candy here for a belated Halloween will make kids smile a little bit."
Christie said 255 school districts in the state opened Monday, and he encouraged any schools that are able to do so to resume classes, a comment that drew cheers from parents in the crowd but groans from youngsters.
Christie said as of 7 a.m. 765,000 households were without power, down from 2.76 million six days ago.
"Having two million more people back on power doesn't mean a damn to you unless you're one of the two million," Christie said to a responsive crowd, many of whom complained about their dark homes.
Christie's home in Mendham is still without power and he joked that's why he's wearing the same pinstripe pants he's been in for eight days.
"Thanks for being as patient as you've been so far you know this is the worst storm that's hit New Jersey in its history," he said.
Christie said statewide Atlantic City Electric has 99 percent of its customers back online, PSE&G has 83 percent, JCP&L 81 percent and Orange and Rockland Electric, which serves about 30,000 households mostly in Bergen and Passaic Counties, has 74 percent restored.

Bowl Predictions 2013: Projecting Matchups for College Football's Biggest Games
With four undefeated teams sitting atop the BCS rankings, the college football playoff appears to be arriving one year too late.
Alabama and Florida State sit comfortably atop the rankings. If those two can avoid picking up a loss for the remainder of the regular season, they are all but guaranteed to play in the BCS title game; however, with Ohio State and Baylor coming in right behind them, there is potential for two undefeated teams from major conferences to not have a chance at winning the national championship.
In that event, those two will still be headed to high-profile contests, but that will be little consolation after an undefeated season.
Although it is unfortunate that we won't be able to watch these four battle in a playoff, there are some entertaining bowl matchups awaiting us.
Take a look at my projections for the BCS games, the latest BCS rankings and then a closer look at three of the more compelling matchups.
BCS Title Game
Alabama vs. Florida State
The Seminoles are going to have to really lay an egg to not have a chance to play for the national title.
Florida State will take on a wildly-outmatched Idaho team in their next game. That will be followed by a game against Florida. The Gators may provide the Seminoles with a tougher matchup than Idaho, but that is debatable.
Florida has lost five straight games and hasn't displayed the offensive prowess to keep up with Florida State.
Meanwhile, a surging Duke team is lined up to take on Florida State in the ACC Championship game, but the unranked Blue Devils have a long way to go before they can think of knocking off Florida State.
Meanwhile, Alabama has a much more difficult path. The Crimson Tide gets what will amount to an extra week of practice this week with a game against Chattanooga. After that, however, is the Iron Bowl.
Although Auburn has looked fantastic, I can't see their one-dimensional offensive attack toppling Alabama.
That leaves the Crimson Tide with the conference championship game, which will be against Missouri as things stand now. Again, the possibility of 'Bama picking up a loss is very real; however, they are the No. 1 team for a reason, and it is tough to see them being denied a chance at playing for a third straight championship.
Orange Bowl
Clemson vs. Wisconsin
Wisconsin's projection into the Orange Bowl raises to the forefront a big drawback about conference championship games.
While the championship game allows teams one last chance to impress voters and computers with a big victory, it also hurts the otherwise quality resume of the team that loses.
The Spartans are 9-1 on the season and boast of a fierce defense; however, I project them falling to Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship.
This will open the door for Wisconsin to slide in the BCS.
The Badgers are 19th in this week's rankings but have a game coming against No. 25 Minnesota this week. If the Badgers win, it will give them a climb in the rankings to get inside the top 14, which is required for them to grab an at-large bid.
Meanwhile, Clemson (9-1) has been cruising along since getting blown out by Florida State on Oct. 19 and has a game with Citadel this week.
The Tigers face a tough road contest against No. 11 South Carolina to close out the season, though. There is a chance that Clemson could survive a loss to the Gamecocks with their BCS bowl game hopes in tact, but they would be well advised to not have that come into play.
Sugar Bowl
Auburn vs. UCF
Auburn's resurgent season has seen the Tigers win seven in a row, with nothing but a game date against Alabama remaining on schedule. This almost guarantees them a spot in a BCS bowl.
As long as the Tigers don't embarrass themselves in the Iron Bowl, the Tigers will not fall far in the rankings with a loss.
I do worry that the lure of Johnny Manziel and No. 12 Texas A&M will grab attention of the selection committee; however, the Tigers did beat the Aggies in College Station earlier in the season. I have to believe Auburn will get the nod.
As for Central Florida, these cardiac kids are the only undefeated team in AAC play. The Knights have a one-game lead over both Louisville and Cincinnati. They already beat Louisville this season and do not play Cincinnati. They also don't have an overly daunting game remaining on their schedule.
Of course, the Knights have a penchant for turning every game into a thriller. They've won three of their last four by five or less.

If Auburn Beats Alabama, Expect BCS Chaos
Alabama and Auburn are set to face off Nov. 30 in the historic Iron Bowl. If the Tigers are able to upset the Crimson Tide and advance to the SEC Championship Game, the BCS will enter a state of chaos.
Would Auburn be the favorite to make it to the national championship game? Does Ohio State take Alabama's spot in the title game? What about Baylor?
Watch CFB analysts Michael Felder and Barrett Sallee break down how the BCS could shape up if the Tigers pull the major upset.

Heisman Trophy Watch: Breaking Down AJ McCarron's Case with a Month Left
If you're looking for a box-score hero, Alabama's AJ McCarron isn't your guy.
He doesn't post gaudy numbers, he plays for Alabama, and his coach produces pro-level talent like a farm system.
So, why is McCarron deserving of the Heisman?
Because he has grown from the proverbial game manager to a game changer. He plays an integral role in Alabama's offense and isn't just an innocent bystander. And it certainly helps that he has slowly become one of the country's most efficient quarterbacks.
Don't believe me?
McCarron ranks near the top of the country in completion percentage (67.8), ranks 12th in passing efficiency (162.2) and eighth in total QBR (81.1).
Nick Saban certainly thinks he has the best player at the position.
Alabama's offense will never be as explosive and high-powered as Oregon's or FSU's, but consider the context in which McCarron has won football games.
In fairly close contests, the fifth-year senior has turned in 650 passing yards on 50-of-66 passing and five touchdowns in situations where Alabama has led by a margin of one to seven points, according to ESPN.com.
Not impressed?
Check out McCarron's game-sealing touchdown throw to tight end O.J. Howard versus LSU on Nov. 9, as noted by Zac Ellis of SI.com. It's a testament to his ability to make big throws in critical situations.
"We've seen him in big games against LSU, make throws; 19 touchdowns this year and 13 against the blitz," NFL.com's Bucky Brooks told NFL.com's Dave Dameshek in a video feature, courtesy of Chase Goodbread.
"This guy understands how to make plays when he's counted on. I love it. I love his game. I think NFL evaluators as they get closer to the draft, you'll see AJ McCarron rise up and he will be a first-round pick."
Scan over his numbers versus the country's most premier programs, including Virginia Tech, Texas A&M and LSU, and you'll see why McCarron deserves some consideration.
And as Forbes.com's Roger Groves illustrates, McCarron's intangibles, incapable of being measured, are unmatched.
I am willing to bet your mortgage A.J. McCarron will not win the Heisman Trophy this year. It is his senior year and his last chance. He has been the most consistent illustration of efficiency at the most important position at the highest level of the college game over the past three years.
In head-to-head contests with Heisman hopefuls Zach Mettenberger and Johnny Manziel, McCarron was wildly productive.
The Mobile, Ala., native out-dueled Manziel, tossing four touchdowns and 334 yards. And against LSU on Nov. 9, McCarron sealed yet another key victory after posting three touchdowns and 179 yards (14-of-20).
McCarron may not eclipse the 3,000-yard passing mark or sniff Jameis Winston's touchdown total. But he's well on his way to competing for his third national championship—a feat no modern-day Heisman winner had accomplished—all the while ending his collegiate career as the most storied signal-caller in Alabama's prestigious history.
And while it may not equate to better Heisman odds, it's certainly worth something.

BCS Standings 2013: Twitter Reacts to 5th Release of Top-25 Standings
The newest BCS rankings are out, and they have the college football world talking.
With four teams undefeated, there's so much talk about which two teams should be playing in the national title. And then there's the discussion about who should be next in line should the either of the top two teams falter.
You can't forget about the battles for the few at-large spots in the BCS, either. Plenty of teams have strong arguments to earn invitations to college football's most prestigious games at the end of the year.
Since it's the final year before the four-team playoff is implemented, it's only appropriate that there's plenty of chaos.
Here's what the standings look like headed into Week 13.
Twitter Reaction
The two most contentious spots were Nos. 3 and 4. It's not a foregone conclusion that either Alabama or Florida State will finish the season undefeated. That could open up a place for either Baylor or Ohio State. For the time being, the Buckeyes get the edge, according to the standings.
ESPN College Football had a breakdown between Ohio State and Baylor:
Sports Illustrated's Stewart Mandel also looked ahead to whom the two schools have left on the schedule:
Buckeye Nation thinks OSU isn't getting enough credit for its 12-0 season last year:
At least the Bears can be satisfied with having the highest ranking in school history, via Baylor football's Twitter account. That's something to celebrate:
Plus, as FoxSports.com's Clay Travis points out, surely Baylor will eventually get ahead of Ohio State in the standings. With games against Oklahoma State and Texas, the Bears have plenty of showcase games left:
Bleacher Report's Samuel Chi reported how close it was between OSU and Baylor swapping positions:
A lot of speculation also centered on how far Stanford would fall after its loss to USC. The Cardinal would end up being ranked ninth, the highest ranking for any two-loss team, via Stanford football's Twitter account:
The aforementioned Cowboys were bumped up into 10th. That means the game between the Cowboys and Baylor on Saturday night will feature two Top-10 teams, per ESPN.com's Jake Trotter. That game carries that added significance now:
As ESPNWisconsin.com's Zach Heilprin pointed out, it was a good week for the Big Ten, with both Wisconsin and Michigan State taking big jumps from last week. The Badgers went from 22nd to 19th, while the Spartans made the leap from 16th to 13th:
Minnesota also sneaked into the Top 25. The Golden Gophers have had a tough season, with Jerry Kill suffering a seizure back in October. ESPN.com's Austin Ward thinks it's a big accomplishment for Minnesota just to have cracked the rankings:
Lost in the shuffle a bit is Fresno State. The Bulldogs hold on to their automatic spot in the BCS, even after dropping to 15th. As the Bulldogs' Twitter account established, all that matters is remaining ahead of Northern Illinois and having UCF outside the top 16:
With so few weeks left in the regular season, it will be fun to see what surprises the BCS standings have left. There are so many big games remaining that you could see quite a bit of movement between now and bowl season.

Meet the Most Comically Underrated Team in the Big Ten
Despite hitting the eight-win mark for the first time in a decade and beating Nebraska for the first time since 1960, 8-2 Minnesota is still locked out of the AP Top 25.
The Golden Gophers did sneak into this week's USA Today Coaches Poll at No. 23, but with 77 votes they are technically the No. 26 team in the AP.
This is a low blow for a program from a BCS conference that has only suffered losses to Iowa and No. 19 Michigan on the road.
Think about it this way: Minnesota is in second place in the Big Ten Legends division—through 12 weeks of play—and still not ranked in the AP.
To put the snub into perspective, check out where other eight-win teams are ranked.
Again, this is a team that is 4-2 in Big Ten play and won consecutive games at Northwestern, versus No. 24 Nebraska, at Indiana and versus Penn State.
The only other eight-win teams not in the AP Top 25 are 8-2 Cincinnati, 8-2 East Carolina, 8-3 Old Dominion, 9-2 Ball State and 8-2 Louisiana-Lafayette.
So, with the exception of Minnesota, no eight-plus win squad from a "big five" conference (the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC) is ranked outside of the AP Top 25.
Furthermore, LSU (No. 18) and Ole Miss (No. 24)—both 7-3 teams—are ranked in the AP Top 25 while the Gophers are not.
Regardless of schedule, future prospects, statistics or generally accepted beliefs, Minnesota is a shoe-in for "most-shafted program" honors in 2013.
What's Their Story?
Minnesota came into 2013 with 16 returning starters from its 6-7 product from a year ago, but still carried low expectations. Phil Steele predicted that the Gophers would finish last in the Legends division and had them at No. 66 nationally in his power rankings.
Though Minnesota ranked No. 45 last season in scoring defense, its No. 96 rank in scoring offense was a major liability.
Here's a look at the statistical improvements from one year to the next.
Despite losing some ground against the pass and making gains versus the run, Minnesota's defense has produced similar results in points allowed in 2013. This means that it's offensive improvements that have fueled the turnaround.
The Gophers have scored 8.6 more points per game this season versus last year and gained 66.5 additional rushing yards per game.
Given that its passing attack has taken a small step backward from a year ago, it's the running game that is the biggest difference-maker.
This comes down to the play of David Cobb, a junior running back who has already racked up 942 yards and seven scores on 175 carries.
Cobb—who rushed for eight yards last season—is averaging 94.2 yards per game and has rushed for 100-plus yards in each of the Gophers' last four games, all wins against Big Ten foes. This includes 138 yards against Nebraska, 188 versus Indiana and 139 against Penn State.
Cobb is on pace to break the 1,000-yard mark by the end of the regular season. This would make him Minnesota's first 1,000-yard back since 2006, when Amir Pinnix ran for 1,272 yards and 10 touchdowns on 252 carries.
The other big gain for the Gophers in 2013 is in turnover margin, which is detailed below.
Though the numbers for 2012 are for the entire season versus only nine games this season, it's clear that the major improvement is in ball security.
And the biggest change is 10 fewer interceptions thrown from one year to the next. This can be credited to the play of sophomore quarterback Philip Nelson, who has thrown only four interceptions this season.
This number marks significant progress versus last season when Nelson, Max Shortell and MarQueis Gray combined to throw 15 picks.
Nelson's performance in 2013 ties him for the fourth-fewest interceptions thrown in the FBS ranks.
Their Place in Minnesota History…
The last time a Minnesota team posted an 8-2 mark was in 2003. That Gopher team went on to a 10-3 finish including a 31-30 win over Oregon in the Sun Bowl.
Unlike the 2013 squad, the 2003 team was ranked in the AP nine times during the season and finished No. 20 in the AP poll.
Other historic achievements this season are the first win over Nebraska in Minneapolis since 1954, the first win over Penn State since 2004 and the first win over a Top 25-ranked team since 2010.
To keep things in perspective, the last time Minnesota was ranked in the AP was in 2008 when it was No. 25 on Oct. 19 and No. 20 on Oct. 26.
Since they are already bowl eligible, it's worth noting that the Gophers' last bowl appearance was in last year's Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas (a 34-31 loss to Texas Tech). Their most recent postseason victory came in 2004, when they beat Alabama 20-16 in the Music City Bowl.
Can They Change the Voters' Minds?
The good news for Minnesota is that it has two high-profile, meaningful games remaining this season. Games which could propel it even further than into the AP Top 25.
First up is No. 19 Wisconsin, which the Gophers will host this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. If Minnesota can manage its first win over the Badgers since 2003, they'll crack the AP and more.
A lot of what could happen next will have to do with how No. 13 Michigan State fares against Northwestern this Saturday. If the Spartans win the game, they'll clinch the Big Ten Leaders division and go on to face Ohio State in the conference championship game.
A Michigan State loss, on the other hand, would set up a game where the 9-2 Spartans (6-1 in Big Ten play) would face the 9-2 Gophers (5-2 in Big Ten play) for the divisional title and the right to play in the league championship.
How big would this be?
Well, the last time Minnesota won the Big Ten was in 1967 when it went 8-2 under Murray Warmath and shared the conference title with Indiana and Purdue.
The last time the Gophers went to the Rose Bowl was 51 years ago, in 1962, when they beat UCLA 21-3.
Though it seems far-fetched to say that Minnesota will knock off Wisconsin, Michigan State and Ohio State to win the Big Ten and achieve the BCS, it does have a perfect finishing schedule to earn some well-deserved love.
Yes, if the Golden Gophers can score another win, they'll be in the AP Top 25 for at least a single week.
A small prize for a program from a power conference which has done just as well Duke, Arizona State or UCF.

BCS Rankings 2013 Week 13: Official Standings for Top 25 Announced
People may have had issues with the BCS system throughout its life, but give it this: It always keeps each and every week not only exciting but also extremely important.
Such was the case once again in Week 12, as teams like Stanford, Miami, Georgia and Texas all fell. Meanwhile, Alabama, Florida State and Ohio State remain atop the standings, while undefeated Baylor joins the Top Four this week.
And of course, Auburn remains in contention for an SEC championship after a miraculous win on a fourth-quarter play that Bob Ley of ESPN accurately dubbed "The Immaculate Deflection" Sunday morning during SportsCenter.
Let's take a look at this week's BCS standings and analyze the weekend that was and the next key slate of games.
BCS Standings
Coming into the week, it appeared the biggest games affecting this week's standings would be Auburn hosting Georgia, Texas hosting Oklahoma State and—at least for the Big Ten crowd—Nebraska hosting Michigan State.
But of course, there were surprises.
Ed Orgeron's surging USC team upset Stanford at home and ended the Cardinal's BCS championship hopes, winning 20-17 which opened the door for Baylor to move up the standings. Meanwhile, Stanford's loss gave Oregon the inside track to play in the Pac-12 title game and perhaps reach the Rose Bowl.
And how about Duke? The Blue Devils—normally an ACC doormat—are now 8-2 after upsetting Miami. It was the team's sixth win in a row and puts them in a position to reach the ACC title game against Florida State if it can win out.
Who saw that coming?
Beyond that, chalk held in the Top 25.
Alabama won a sloppy game in which it turned the ball over four times, while Florida State, Ohio State, Baylor and Oregon all rolled. Auburn won in improbable fashion—setting up a huge meeting with Alabama in two weeks with a spot in the SEC championship on the line—as did UCF over a poor Temple squad.
Michigan State is two wins away from the Big Ten title game after a big victory over Nebraska, though a matchup against Minnesota in two weeks won't be a cake walk.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma State warmed up for a huge showdown against Baylor next weekend with a win over inconsistent Texas.
So much is on the line in the next two weeks. Next week alone there are multiple games between ranked teams, while teams like Missouri (at Ole Miss), Wisconsin (at Minnesota) and Northern Illinois (at Toledo) will face major tests as the BCS picture continues to become more clear.

BCS Rankings 2013: Full Week 13 Standings for Top 25 Teams
With another week of college football wrapped up, another team has fallen out of contention for the national championship.
The Stanford Cardinal lost a close one against their Pac-12 rivals in the USC Trojans, losing 20-17. Tyler Gaffney was able to run for 158 yards and two touchdowns, but a tough day for Kevin Hogan, who threw two interceptions, certainly hurt the team's chances.
With the Stanford loss, the BCS rankings have shaken up quite a bit. Below are the updated standings for Week 13 for the Top 25 teams, followed by a breakdown of the rankings.
The Alabama Crimson Tide held on to the No. 1 spot, and it's no surprise. They didn't win the prettiest game over Mississippi State, but they're still undefeated in a tough conference and are the defending national champions, so it would take a lot more for them to fall out of the top spot.
With another big win, the Florida State Seminoles stay at No. 2, and with the way they keep playing, they should be good to go for a national championship bid with remaining games against Idaho and Florida.
The big question in this week's rankings was whether Baylor could hop over Ohio State due to the fact that they've blown out so many teams with their high-powered offense. However, with a convincing win of their own against Illinois, the Buckeyes were able to stay ahead of the Bears.
The Cardinal didn't fall too far, dropping to No. 9. It could have been worse, as some felt that they could have fallen well out of the Top 10.
Oklahoma State was the only new team to enter the Top 10 this week, and it was thanks to a very convincing win over the Texas Longhorns, who dropped out of the Top 25. Clint Chelf, who has replaced J.W. Walsh, has done a great job leading the offense to some solid wins.
One team that's kept climbing up the rankings is the Michigan State Spartans, who are quietly 9-1 this year. The Spartans are coming off of an impressive 41-28 win, but their defense has been the story, allowing just 13.2 points per game.
With a 6-0 conference record, they can clinch the Big Ten Legends division with a win next week, setting up a likely Big Ten championship between Michigan State and the Buckeyes.
The Wisconsin Badgers have also been creeping up the standings, moving to No. 19 this week after demolishing Indiana with a 51-3 win. The ground game was incredible, putting up 554 yards on the ground. With James White and Melvin Gordon, the Badgers can make big plays with ease on the ground.
The three new entrants to the Top 25 are USC, Ole Miss and Minnesota, with all of them certainly deserving to be in the standings. The Trojans got that big win over Stanford, while Ole Miss and Minnesota have had very respectable seasons in their conferences.
There might not have been a ton of big shakeups, but the postseason picture is starting to shape up as we approach the end of the season.

What Does Alabama Gain from Playing Chattanooga?
The question comes up every year around this time. With Alabama in the hunt for a national championship and with the Iron Bowl looming in two weeks, people are always asking, "Why is Alabama playing [insert cupcake team here]?"
Last year it was Western Carolina. In 2011 it was Georgia Southern. It was Georgia State in 2010 and Chattanooga in 2009.
This year, the Mocs are back as the annual pre-Auburn sacrificial lamb.
Nick Saban is a perfectionist and has every detail of his program down to a science. That includes scheduling.
The obvious answer to why this game is where it is has to do with the grind of the season. Alabama had its seemingly annual late-season struggle against Mississippi State on Saturday and isn't exactly playing up to the level it will want to be at when it faces Auburn in a historic Iron Bowl.
Playing Chattanooga gives Alabama a perfect opportunity to get back into a groove.
It also lets Alabama heal up.
The Tide are relatively healthy heading into the final stretch of the season. Cornerback Bradley Sylve is still trying to work back up to full speed, but he is really the only nagging injury Alabama is dealing with right now.
Last season, Amari Cooper sustained an injury in the LSU game, but he was able to have a strong finish to the season against Auburn, Georgia and Notre Dame.
Alabama isn't alone in this strategy, as SI.com's Stewart Mandel points out:
If you think Saban just wants the easiest possible schedule for his team, you're wrong. In addition to its eight-game conference schedule, Alabama typically plays three "cupcake" games and one bigger game towards the beginning of the season.
This year it faced Virginia Tech in Atlanta. The year before it was Michigan in Dallas. The Crimson Tide had a home-and-home with Penn State in 2010 and 2011, and they played Clemson and Virginia Tech in Atlanta in 2008 and 2009, respectively.
This strategy gives Alabama nine games a season that should be competitive.
And Saban actually would be in favor of more. He has been a strong proponent of a nine-game SEC schedule, even if it would give him one more hurdle to a national title.
As Saban said to Sports Illustrated's Andy Staples:
If you look at it through a straw and how it affects you and you're self-absorbed about it, nobody's going to be for it. I shouldn't be for it. We've got a better chance to be more successful if we don't do it. But I think it's best for the game and for the league. That's what I think. So I'm trying to look at it from 1,000 feet.
He's also expressed the idea of only being able to play teams from five major conferences.
"I'm for five conferences – everybody playing everybody in those five conferences," Saban said in May, according to AL.com's Don Kausler, Jr. "That's what I'm for, so it might be 70 teams, and everybody's got to play 'em."
And it's not like teams are exactly lining up to come to Bryant-Denny Stadium to face the No. 1 Tide.
According to Aaron Suttles of the Tuscaloosa News, Saban said this before last season's game against Western Kentucky:
We need a couple of games next year. Look, it's difficult because if you're not willing to go home-and-home with somebody — which if you're playing a neutral-site game, I don't want to go home-and-home in another game — so you've got to get teams who will come here and play.
It's very rare that you see a team play a schedule like South Carolina did. The Gamecocks played North Carolina and UCF in addition to their annual game with Clemson.
And until other teams start scheduling that way, there's no reason for Alabama to put itself at that kind of a disadvantage.
As it stands, everyone gets four non-conference games and gets to choose what it does with them. Alabama has it down to a science, crafting a schedule that gives it a good amount of difficulty, but setting itself up for late-season and postseason success.

BCS Rankings 2013: Complete Week 13 Standings Released
There was yet another shift near the top of the BCS rankings after one more Top Five team suffered a damaging loss in Week 12.
A week after Stanford surprised many with a gritty win over Oregon, the Cardinal dropped their second game of the season, this time at the hands of USC. This caused a shift throughout the Week 13 BCS rankings.
Here is a look at the full standings.
The Trojans have had an eventful year, with a poor start leading to the firing of head coach Lane Kiffin. However, Ed Orgeron took over the job and finally has the team playing to its ability.
At the end of a tough defensive battle against Stanford, kicker Andre Heidari knocked in a 47-yard field goal with 19 seconds left to all but seal the 20-17 win.
This was not only the biggest victory of the week in college football, but it was also a significant moment for Orgeron, who said the following, according to the school's website:
It was a tremendous effort by the organization and the coaching staff. For some reason on Monday was a belief that we were going to prepare as well as we could and find a way to win the game. I'm awfully proud of our men. This is something we've wanted for the past Trojans and coaches that fought hard. This is for the Trojan Family.
By earning a signature win, he might have done enough to secure the head-coaching job permanently. The Trojans are now 8-3 (5-2 Pac-12) and are riding a four-game winning streak.
Still, the other half of the story is Stanford's disappointment. The squad now falls to 8-2 and No. 9 in the BCS, which puts them out of contention for a national championship.
While the Cardinal are the only top team to lose in Week 12, a few others struggled to victory. Surprisingly, one of those was No. 1 Alabama, which squeezed by with a 20-7 win over Mississippi State.
Running back T.J. Yeldon rushed for 160 yards in the win, but four team turnovers limited the offense and prevented a blowout.
Of course, the Crimson Tide had an easy time compared to rival Auburn. The Tigers blew a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter against Georgia to fall behind by one point in the final minutes. Fortunately, an amazing heave from Nick Marshall to Ricardo Louis went for 73 yards for the game-winning touchdown.
However, the rest of the high-profile teams had relatively easy times with their Week 12 opponents.
Jameis Winston and Florida State remain at No. 2 thanks to a 59-3 victory over Syracuse. No. 3 Ohio State won big as well, beating Illinois 60-35 behind 246 rushing yards and five total touchdowns by Carlos Hyde.
Baylor also remained unbeaten with a 63-34 win over the fading Texas Tech Red Raiders, moving the Bears up to No. 4 in the standings.
These teams continue to be the top contenders for a spot in the BCS Championship Game, but there are still a few one-loss teams that refuse to drop out of the conversation. This includes Oregon, Clemson, Oklahoma State and Michigan State, all of which earned victories this weekend.
Missouri fits in this category as well but the Tigers were idle this week.
The biggest thing this group can take away from Week 12 is that schools at the top are capable of losing any time out. Even those further down the rankings right now can still move up in the coming weeks with plenty of football still to be played.
Until then, fans and players will continue to look at the BCS every week and hope for every single point on their way to the top of the standings.

BCS Bowl Predictions 2013: Reassessing Matchups After Week 12
USC shuffled 2013 BCS bowl predictions on Saturday when it beat No. 4 Stanford by the score of 20-17.
The once-Rose Bowl-bound Cardinal is no longer en route to a Pac-12 title.
Here are updated BCS bowl projections after the conference shake-up.
BCS National Championship: Alabama vs. Florida State
Then-4-5 Mississippi State proved that Alabama isn't perfect in the Crimson Tide's mere 13-point victory this weekend, while Florida State won its second straight ACC showdown by the score of 59-3.
The Seminoles are overwhelming their opponents by an average of 41.6 points per game (compared to just 28.6 for Alabama). They not only are winning with more style points than the Crimson Tide, but also boast the matchup's most dominant player—Heisman hopeful freshman quarterback Jameis Winston and his 2,938 yards and 28 touchdowns through the air.
The Seminoles are an extremely talented No. 1 contender, but it's difficult to bet against a reigning champ that hasn't lost a must-win game since Nov. 26, 2010. Nick Saban is also 4-0 in national titles.
Alabama by 3
Orange Bowl: Clemson vs. Wisconsin
The intrigue in this matchup will be in the teams' contrasting styles. Clemson fields an explosive passing offense and mediocre defense while Wisconsin wants to run the ball down its opponent's throat and boasts a top defense.
Neither ballclub has had much bowl-game success in recent years, combining for a record of 1-5 in the past three. Tigers senior quarterback Tajh Boyd will be the difference. He's accumulated nearly 3,200 yards from scrimmage this season and 32 touchdowns.
Badgers sophomore passer Joel Stave has thrown more interceptions than Boyd (eight to seven) despite throwing for over 1,000 fewer yards and eight fewer touchdowns.
Clemson by 7
Rose Bowl: Oregon vs. Ohio State
Stanford's letdown will likely earn Oregon a Pac-12 title, but the Ducks will also likely face a much more talented BCS opponent as a result. Instead of competing against Fresno State or UCF—teams that they would've been heavily favored against—they'll be slight underdogs against Ohio State.
If the Buckeyes win out, they'll ride a winning streak longer than Alabama's into the postseason. And while—like the Crimson Tide—Ohio State is slightly less flashy than its opponent, the difference—again—will be coaching. Urban Meyer is 4-0 in BCS bowls.
Ohio State by 3
Fiesta Bowl: Baylor vs. Fresno State
This matchup will be thrilling for the first three quarters. Baylor scores an average of 61.2 points per game and Fresno State 44.3.
Each team's offense is explosive, but the Bears defense will be the difference—or the Bulldogs' lack thereof. While Baylor only allows 17.4 points per game, Fresno State surrenders 26.9—most of which has come against Mountain West competition that pales in comparison to that of the Bears' Big 12.
Baylor will pull away in the fourth quarter.
Baylor by 17
Sugar Bowl: Auburn vs. UCF
Temple has a record of 1-9 this season. UCF barely beat the Owls, sneaking past them by the score of 39-36 on Saturday.
The Knights are a solid football team, but solid football teams don't fare well in BCS bowls against SEC powerhouses. That's what Auburn is.
The Tigers have four wins against ranked opponents this season. UCF has one. Auburn's mediocre No. 28-ranked defense will be the only factor that would keep this one semi-close.
Auburn by 14

College Football Bowl Predictions 2013: Likely Destinations for Top Teams
Unless something unforeseen happens, the No. 2 Florida State Seminoles seem like a lock to play in the BCS national championship. The Noles have Idaho, a struggling Florida Gators team and the ACC championship game ahead of them.
Their likely opponent will be Duke, a team that isn't even in the top 25 of the BCS standings. For all intent and purpose, the Noles would have to collapse against a far lesser opponent to miss out on a chance to win it all.
The Alabama Crimson Tide are No. 1 in the BCS Standings, but two tough games await them before they can punch their ticket to Pasadena, Calif.
The Tide still have to get by No. 6 Auburn in the Iron Bowl and a meeting with either No. 8 Missouri or No. 11 South Carolina. As of now, we have to have them penciled in as the Noles' opponents in the BCS title game.
This is really the one game that every college football fan should want to see. While the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes are undefeated—as are the No. 4 Baylor Bears, there is still a good deal of doubt that those two teams could hang with Bama.
The Noles not only have the horses in the trenches and at the skill positions. They also have one of the most dynamic players in the country under center in Jameis Winston. The potential front-runner for the Heisman taking on the two-time defending national champions, what could be better?
The following table is a bowl projection from CBS Sports BCS expert Jerry Palm. The projections are based on each postseason contest criteria.
Here's a breakdown of two of the more intriguing potential matchups.
Rose Bowl - Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Oregon Ducks
Winning the Rose Bowl may be the consolation prize the Buckeyes are forced to settle for. Unless the Noles or Bama slip up, Urban Meyer's team doesn't have a difficult enough schedule ahead to leapfrog Florida State or Alabama.
Even if the Bucks make the Rose Bowl, defeating the Ducks won't be an easy task. Oregon will represent the stiffest competition Ohio State has faced this season by far. Stanford was able to contain Oregon and hand them their only loss in Week 10. But the question is, does Ohio State have the front seven to stop the Ducks' running game the same way?
The statistics suggest they have a great chance. Stanford is fourth in the nation against the run allowing just 91.6 yards per game, but Ohio State is right behind them surrendering just 92.6.
That ability to stuff the run is the reason Ohio State would appear to be a good match for Oregon. Winning the Rose Bowl isn't what an undefeated team in a major conference hopes for, but it is the next best thing to a BCS title.
Capital One Bowl - Michigan State vs. Texas A&M
Johnny Manziel and Co. surely had aspirations of contending for a national championship in 2013, but with two losses and teams like Baylor and Missouri overachieving, a BCS bowl game is even a long shot.
As of now, it seems the Aggies would land in an interesting battle with the stingy Michigan State Spartans in the Capital One Bowl—barring some major shifting. The Spartans' defense has been stellar all season. Texas A&M is only allowing 57.3 yards per game on the ground and 171 yards through the air.
Those numbers are impressive, but there are no offenses quite like A&M's in the Big Ten. Can the Spartans defense contain Manziel and Co? The Aggies are averaging 578 yards of total offense per game, which is third in the nation.
This could be an entertaining battle between two extremes.

Back in early January when I was creating projects for CHA I decided to create a mini album for each of our kids featuring an overview of the first weeks/months after their birth.
Our kids love to look at pictures and since I've started making mini albums I've seen a bit of extra joy when they pull one off the shelf.
I wanted to create something easy enough to create in triplicate, yet still make them individual for each of our kids.
I started by creating a canvas cover for each album - each with a similar basic idea, just with a bit of difference in the stitching.
Each album is created using a combination of papers that have been cut to 6x6 or cut to 6x12 and folded in half to create a 6x6 pocket.
Each album also carries a few elements throughout, which helps pull it all together (and also made it easy to create in a timely fashion). If each page had been done with it's own theme/scheme as a traditional 12x12 page these albums would surely still be sitting in pieces.
Each album was then punched and bound using my Cinch...love that thing!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
I'd love it if you'd leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Our peninsula's rain forest still thrills
Published on Wed, Sep 29, 2010 by

The Hoh Rain Forest is a favorite with Olympic Peninsula visitors. It also has the trailhead for mountaineers seeking to summit Mount Olympus. In summer, the nature loops at the visitors center and the first stretch of the 17-mile Hoh River Trail can be quite bustling.
However, despite the summer crowds, the trees create an overwhelming majesty that make the trip worthwhile. You get an even more authentic rain forest experience by visiting the trails during the winter rainy season when there are fewer people to share the trails.
The rain forest is lush with life because it gets some 12 feet of rain a year. The trees are festooned with moss, lichen and other forms of greenery. Herbs, mosses, ferns and shrubs grow so densely there's little room for new sprouts. There are guidebooks and guided tours to give a better understanding of the surrounding forest.
I stuck to the self-guided metal signs along the loop routes.
There is one trailhead, beginning near the Visitor Center, for all three trails. After crossing the crystal clear waters of spring-fed Taft Creek, the clearly marked Hall of Mosses Trail splits to the left. I headed right toward the Spruce Nature Trail first. The longer Hoh River Trail continues past the turn onto the loop trail.
I decided to hike the loop counterclockwise, following a little arrow. I figured most hikers would subliminally choose to obey the arrow, meaning I'd be headed in the same direction as most traffic and subsequently encounter fewer people.
This is a younger forest than the more upland Hall of Mosses. Populated by spruce, maple, alder and other riverbed tree species, it fills an area once filled by the Hoh as the river meandered.
Ferns, mosses and liverworts abound, but the resident elk herd keeps the understory trimmed to a near park-like level.
About midway through the loop, the trail comes to the river. Full of glacial silt, the milky water coursed bravely over rocks. A large gravel bar lies a short distance across a narrow river channel. I started to cross. The channel was barely thigh-deep and the water was briskly refreshing. It also was very powerful. After a moment's reconsideration, I headed back to the bank.
On the return jaunt I encountered a large, ranger-led group checking out woodpecker holes. I was more interested in the colonnade of spruce and hemlock that had grown from a disintegrating nurse log a short distance beyond the group.
The Hall of Mosses travels into the upland forest of Sitka spruce, Douglas-fir and western red cedar. Like in the alder and maple groves, mosses fill the forest.
Even on a sunny day, the massive trees block out much of the light. (They also serve to catch much of the rain in the winter; though don't expect not to get damp.)
There's a little more up and down in this loop than in the more level Spruce loop but at less than a mile, it's still a relatively easy hike.
A sign points hikers to a maple grove. Here, hoary-headed elder maples raise twisting limbs draped with lichens and mosses. The clinging mosses and moss-like plants like the rough-barked maples, garbing those portions of the forest more luxuriously. It's a symbiotic relationship: The mosses get a place to hang and absorb moisture from the air; the trees grow roots into the moss and draw water.
There's a whole circle-of-life thing going on all around. The ancient trees and abundant plant life generate the very air you breathe and provide ample opportunity for musing and reverence. You could spend hours meandering the loops or head a few miles down the Hoh River Trail: Happy Four Camp, four miles in, is a popular day-hike destination and a pretty place to visit.

Thank you Dove. Yes I know to use ericaceous compost...that's the reason they're in pots
I have Azalea, Camellia, Rhododendron and pieris all in pots. They're all quite healthy looking but they're getting a bit big for their pots. Is now a good time to re pot them or should I wait till spring?
Super Thank you
I have lots of small plants along side the more mature ones. When is the best time to pot these up to grow on ready to put in my daughters garden in the spring?
Or is it best to leave them where they are and transplant them in the spring?
Thomas Wilkinson2 wrote (see)
Also they seem to be a favourite of some kind of aphid, a little black one. They seem to leave most of my plants alone, but the nasturtiums seem to get covered in them sometimes. Is there much I can do inexpensively?
I've tried growing Nasturtiums quite a few times and they always get covered in what I believe to be black fly. I've tried wiping them off as someone once suggested but they always returned. I didn't want to start spraying them with the likes of privado so I gave up growing them.
Thank you both for your reply. I'll definately be bringing them in over winter and fingers crossed they'll be just as beautiful again next year.
Yes that's what I thought Italophile. It did start getting quite cold here and they were out in the garden and if I'm honest I got fed up with looking at them hangling there all green. I'm happy with them
I got some begonia plug plants earlier this year and they were tiny. I nurtured them and potted them on as and when they needed it and much to my surprise they have been beautiful. Will these plants come up again next year?
I also bought some begonia tubers (are they tubers or are they corms????) and they look like completely different plants, however I know I will need to take them out of the basket and store them over winter.
Please forgive my ignorance but will I need to do the same with the plug plants???? Will they have produced tubers/corms now or are they a different type of plant altogether???
I had similar problems to you Guy (re not ripening) so a couple of weeks ago I took all the tomatoes off the plants, placed them in a big dish on a shelf in the kitchen and forgot about them and they began to ripen slowly but surely.
Oh forgot to mention...we tried the hi pitched deterrant things to stop the cats coming into the garden. We're not sure they worked on the cats but they definately worked on our son and his friends Apparently the older you get the less able you are to hear hi pitched sounds so the younger visitors to our house could hear it. So if they went anywhere near it they said the noise was awful so we felt it only fair to dispose of it after that

I have multiple layout pages (58 pages) and would like to print them in a printer at once. How do I do that?
Currently, I open 1 layout at a time then print it 1 by 1, in which its killing me specially if I do have lots of drawings.
Publish does saving in DWF, PDF... But does not print in the printer.
Solved! Go to Solution.
In order to publish to a printer you need to have a valid page setup for that printer to use. In any drawing use the page setup manager to create a new page setup. It will give you the plot dialog so you can select the printer and all other settings you need. Save this drawing and in the publish dialog box highlight all your sheets then in the page setup field pick on the top page setup and a down arrow will appear. Pick that and select import then find the drawing you just saved and get the page setup you created.
Thank you for the HELP exerted on my query.

Sadie Loves Bully SticksJust wanted to let you see how much my Sadie enjoys her bully sticks. I keep them in the freezer. When she wants one she will sit in the kitchen and whine. If that doesn't work, she will go to the door and ring her bell to go outside. When I get up, she runs into the kitchen. She carries them around like cigars when we go from room to room. |

Spotted on Orleans Street in East Baltimore late Sunday afternoon amid a bevy of classic, colorful, lowrider Monte Carlos, Impalas, Lincolns and Fleetwoods — and some thumping music. This "Soultrn" plate belongs to a white '85 Caprice and a member of the Urban Legend Car Club of Maryland. Looking through the windshield, I believe that might be a pink Cadillac in front of the Caprice.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - During an offseason that seems to get longer the closer it moves to its conclusion, Bob Huggins has seen three players graduate and four more transfer from the 2012-13 roster.
Monday witnessed a new term for an eighth exit. Huggins revealed senior center Aaric Murray has "departed" the program after graduating in May, but failing to make it through the offseason program. Murray is eligible to play at any level this fall.
"We came to a mutual agreement that it would be in his best interest to finish his collegiate career somewhere else," Huggins said in a brief university statement.
Reached later, Huggins declined to elaborate, but maintained that the Mountaineers are properly situated to survive the loss of the 24-year-old Murray. He was third on the team in scoring last season (8.8 points per game) and led WVU in rebounding (5.9), blocks (47) and field-goal percentage (48.1).
"We signed six guys who are over 6-foot-7, so I think we're OK," Huggins said.
Only three - freshmen Nathan Adrian, Devin Williams and Brandon Watkins - are on campus. Junior college transfers Jonathan Holton and Remi Dibo and freshman Elijah Macon have not arrived. Holton and Macon have eligibility issues to settle before they can enroll.
"Those three are going to be fine, I think," Huggins said.
Two years ago, the 6-10 Murray transferred to WVU from La Salle, where he averaged 12.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game as a freshman and then 15.1 points and 7.7 rebounds a year later. He attended a high school for "court referred" youths in Philadelphia after reported persistent truancy in middle school and two years in the eighth grade.
Upon arriving at WVU, Murray was arrested back home for marijuana possession. He also broke his hand during the season and had back problems that kept him from making progress on the court as he sat out as a transfer. Murray played 31 of 32 games last season, starting only 11 times and averaging 20 minutes. Huggins left Murray on campus when the Mountaineers played eventual national runner-up Michigan in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Huggins agreed to bring Murray back for the upcoming season and Murray at least seemed receptive to making the specific personal and basketball improvements he needed to warrant the gesture.

I'll tell you what, I don't know much about all of this legal jargon, but whenever I have legal need, I consult with my lawyer (http://www.krilaw.com/services/family-based-representation-counseling/). He's knows what's what, and usually gives me advice for free. That's the best way to get the facts straight.
I'LL leave analysis of whether the American Supreme Court's opinion this morning was a good thing or a bad thing to others. But as so often in law, the court's ruling on America's 2010 health-care reform law turned on many points of language. Indeed all law does, to some degree: statues are written in language, and courts' job (in common-law countries) is to interpret that language and their own predecessors' precedents.
Can America's federal government require people to carry health insurance or pay a "penalty"? That was the core question. The government claimed that right under its constitutional authority to "regulate" "commerce". But the chief justice of the court, John Roberts, wrote that "regulate" could not be construed to compel a person to engage in commerce with an insurance company:
Ignoring that distinction [between "regulating" and "compelling"] would undermine the principle that the Federal Government is a government of limited and enumerated powers.
The whole point of the constitution, Alexander Hamilton (one of its supporters) wrote, was to enumerate certain powers, not all powers, to the government. Shades of (Gricean?) implicature here: if I say "you can have five dollars" I mean "five dollars and only five", not "fifty dollars and my watch". You can't defend yourself with "well, I did take five, I just took $45 more, and your watch."
But some of the founding fathers, against Hamilton, thought that the implicature needed explicature, and so the Tenth Amendment to the constitution says that all powers not granted to the federal government in the constitution were retained by the states or the people. If we stayed with the Commerce-clause reasoning alone ("no commerce exists here, and Congress was not granted the power compel it into existence"), America's health-care reform would be fatally wounded right now.
Instead, Justice Roberts did some other, slightly fancier, work with implicature. He argued that there was never any "mandate" to buy insurance: the word does not appear (in the relevant context) in the law. Rather, those who don't carry insurance must pay a "penalty", which the law also called a "shared responsibility payment". Writing for a 5-4 majority, Justice Roberts wrote that since this was going to be collected by the Internal Revenue Service, and it was not a criminal offence to forgo health insurance (you could simply pay the "shared responsibility payment" instead), there was no mandate in the first place, merely a "tax". Never mind that the drafters didn't call it a "tax". Congress could have called it a "kazoo", in Justice Roberts's theory. The court held that it looked enough like a tax for its constitutionality to be judged on Congress's power to tax. And the constitution clearly says that
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States
So the "mandate" (which isn't a "mandate", in this ruling) is constitutional because it's really just an implied "tax". QED.
I wrote a year ago, against "dictionary fetishism", that judges shouldn't rely too heavily on dictionaries to define words for their rulings. The courts' own judgments can define words. We see a good example of that here.
Addendum: "Where did Justice Roberts get the right to be so creative?," some readers might be asking. He answers the question himself. Prior precedent binds the court to do its utmost to find acts of Congress constitutional: "every reasonable construction must be resorted to, in order to save a statute from unconstitutionality," according to Hooper v California.

I think I have a unique pick for Roland. Viggo seems to be mentioned more than anyone for the part, and while he is a very good choice - especially after seeing him in The Road, which kinda makes me think of Roland's world which has "moved on".
But I think Timothy V. Murphy would be a dead ringer. He could be Viggo's older brother, looking at him!
Both of those pics are taken from his IMDB page. I would SWEAR the second is of Viggo, but apparently not (according to IMDB anyhow).
