I had previoiusly sent a request into Autodesk with a problem using setpoint software for my wireless mouse with Revit, starting with 2012 & 2013. this never happened with 2010 or 2011 (same mouse)
what i sent in below and the response i recieved. anyone else have this issue? any work arounds?
Revit Architecture 2013
build: 20121003_2115 (x64)
update release 2 windows 7 pro 64-bit sp1
processor xeon W3565 3.20GHz 3.20GHz
"Issue: worksharing monitor does not
work when using the setpoint software for logitech peripherals. in
order to get the worksharing monitor to work i have to go to windows resource monitor, go to the worksharingmonitor.exe and look at the wait chain. setpoint.exe will be listed there. i need to end task the setpoint process and then the worksharing monitor will pop up. i can then restart my setpoint software for my mouse custom settings. i have to do this every time i start revit."
the response back i recieved.
Thank you for sending us your feedback. I am not familiar with the software you are describing. This is something our product support team should probably look in to. Have you contacted them about this issue? If not I would suggest contacting our support team and work with them to see if a resolution can be found for the issue.

Sr. Subject Matter Expert
Same issue with me. Revit Architecture 2013 and Logitech Setpoint Software. Any luck getting this resolved?
Same issue with Revit 2014, has ayone found a fix for this ongoing issue? That is besides uninstalling the logitech software and the daily trip to the resource monitor?
I have multiple machines running in my office only some seem to have this issue.
The machines that do not have this problem are running setpoint version 6.32.7
The machines that are affected are running the newer versions of setpoint.exe
I hope this helps.

Atlas Travel® Insurance Benefits
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recommends that you register certain items before you travel abroad including watches, laptops, cameras, and electronic items by filling out a Certificate of Registration for Personal Effects Taken Abroad (CBP Form 4457). This form shows that you had acquired the items before leaving the U.S. and all of the items listed on it will be allowed duty-free entry when you return. A travel medical plan like Atlas Travel would be incomplete without the inclusion of travel assistance benefits. The following travel benefits are included when you purchase.
Lost Luggage
If an airline or cruise line carrier loses your baggage, HCC Medical Insurance Services will pay up to $250 for the replacement of clothes and personal hygiene items.
- File a formal claim for lost luggage with the transportation provider
- Provide HCC Medical Insurance Services with all documentation of the claim filed with the transportation provider and a written statement from the provider confirming that the luggage remains missing
- Lost Luggage Claimant's Statement form and Proof of Claim can be mailed: HCC Medical Insurance Services, LLC P.O. Box No. 2005, Farmington Hills, MI 48333-2005. Claims information can also be emailed to email@example.com or faxed to 317-262-2140.
Trip Interruption
HCC Medical Insurance Services will pay for a return ticket to your principal residence if there is damage to your principal residence or a death in your family2. Trip interruption can also be claimed following an emergency medical evacuation.
- Contact HCC Medical Insurance Services, we will coordinate the transportation for you.
- Your attending physician will need to submit medical records if you are claiming the trip interruption benefit after an emergency medical evacuation.
Trip interruption following an emergency medical evacuation is provided if the attending physician states that it is medically necessary for you to return to your home country for recuperation, treatment, and recovery.
Natural Disaster
If you are displaced from planned accommodations due to evacuation from a natural disaster or following a disaster strike caused by an avalanche, earthquake, hurricane, impact event, landslide, mudslide, tornado, tsunami, tropical cyclone, typhoon, volcanic eruption, or wildfire, HCC Medical Insurance Services will cover the cost of your accommodations for up to five days.
Crisis Response
If you are the victim of a kidnapping or express kidnapping while traveling abroad, Atlas Travel will provide up to $10,000 in coverage of expenses such as ransom, crisis response fees and lost personal belongings. HCCMIS also provides access to expert crisis response support through Unity Crisis Group.
Personal Liability
If your actions cause the injury of a third party or the damage/loss of third party's or related third party's property, Atlas Travel provides $10,000 lifetime maximum coverage. This benefit applies only for court-entered eligible judgments or approved settlements.
Send your itemized bills, receipts, and claimant's statement form to HCC Medical Insurance Services, LLC P.O. Box No. 2005, Farmington Hills, MI 48333-2005. Claims information can also be emailed to email@example.com or faxed to 317-262-2140.

I find it very decieful how you twist this into a class debate.You see Ireland doesn't have the poplulation to sustain abortion on demand.
by fred Mon Jan 28, 2013 21:15
should we ban condoms as well Jane? I mean they are preventing births too?

Youre making assumptions kid.
by fred Wed Jan 30, 2013 13:36
Ok, lets assume your argument is genuine.
by Jane Wed Jan 30, 2013 18:08
Well done stereotyping those who dont choose to avail of abortion as people from incestuous families,you go on to say how does that help build a better society.?Such BS you come out with.How can you make the assumption all those who dont avail of abortion are part of some incestuous relationship??

O.A.R.S Catalog of Luxury Adventure Vacations
January 3, 2008
By: Editorial AdvisoryBoard
The Chairman of Five Star Alliance (also known as the Cal Simmons of The Informed Traveler) recommends O.A.R.S. which provides Whitewater rafting with experienced professional guides and top notch equipment since 1969. Cal has run rivers with the owner, George Wendt, in Africa, Fiji, Idaho, California and The Grand Canyon. According to Cal their Grand Canyon camping is even better than a luxury hotel.
For almost 40 years, O.A.R.S. (Outdoor Adventure River Specialists) has been a leader in the adventure travel industry. The California-based, eco-conscious organization provides exceptional, award-winning customer service, friendly, experienced and safety-conscious guides, comfortable and clean camping equipment, undeniably delicious and hearty meals and an ideal environment for a traveler to experience the outdoor vacation of his or her dreams. Some vacations include catered camping and rafting excursions through one of six national parks, lodge-based outings with comfortable beds and hot showers, multi-week expeditions, half-day escapes, weekend retreats close to home or private chartered trips specifically and uniquely designed for a given client's needs.
New to O.A.R.S.' vacation menu in 2008 includes rafting on the Apurimac River, the source of the Amazon and lodge-to-lodge trekking to Machu Picchu, 15 or 16 days.

New Luxury Travel Destinations
December 5, 2007
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
A recent article in the Washington Post describes the "destination fatigue-- been there, done that, paid a big bill"-- that affects a growing number of high-end travelers. When you've vacationed in Patagonia, the BVI, and the Greek Islands, and cruised the Nile and Yangtze rivers, what's next? The answer is remote, off-the-map destinations that once only appealed to backpackers. The newest hotspots are places like Bhutan, where Amanresorts has opened a string of luxury lodges that allow travelers to discover this incredible Himalayan kingdom without having to rough it. We'd count China's Yunnan province on the list, as well as luxury safaris in Africa, and hotels in northern India. What's your next luxury travel destination?
Lake Manyara Tree Lodge: Eco-Luxury in Tanzania
November 13, 2007
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Set in the heart of a mahogany forest, this sumptuous safari lodge is the only lodge in the diverse Lake Manyara National Park in northern Tanzania. Part of CC Africa's portfolio of luxury safari lodges, Lake Manyara Tree Lodge was designed to offer all the five-star comforts with minimal impact on the natural environment. Ten tree house suites are cradled in the boughs of ancient mahogany trees in close proximity to the beautiful soda lake. Crafted from local timber and palm fronds, the tree houses are extraordinary. They have large windows to invite the forest inside, private game viewing decks, en suite bathrooms and outdoor showers, and stylish interiors with contemporary furnishings and four-poster beds. There is butler service, and an interactive kitchen so that guests can observe the preparation of the fine cuisine. Discover marvelous African wildlife (tree-climbing lions included!) in open 4x4 safari vehicles.

Hotel Caruso, Amalfi Coast, Italy
Soaring 350 meters above the sea, hugging the cliffside over the Mediterranean, the Hotel Caruso commands the ultimate location. White stucco houses draped with brilliant bougainvillea, this is sun-kissed Italy at its most charming. With views like this, the infinity pool is easily among the most beautiful in the world.
Oberoi Udaivilas, Rajasthan, India
Sitting high above Udaipur's fabled lake, the Oberoi Udaivilas looks across to the floating City Palace, gleaming white in the sunshine, and Aravalli Hills beyond. Named the best hotel in the world in Travel and Leisure's 2007 reader's poll, the Oberoi Udavilas has rooms fit for a maharajah in India's romantic desert city.
The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo, Japan
Occupying the top nine floors and the first three levels of the 53-story Midtown Tower, the tallest building in Tokyo, The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo features 360-degree panoramic vistas of the city and Mount Fuji. When it debuted in April 2007, the hotel dazzled Tokyo with its over-the-top service and amenities (like the $16,000 Diamonds-Are-Forever Martini with its very own Bulgari diamond).
Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur, California

Located between Nice and Monaco in the charming clifftop village of Eze-Bord-de-Mer, Cap Estel is situated on its own four acre peninsula overlooking the Mediterranean with a 180 degree view of the coastline. All the guest rooms at this renowned 19th century hotel have a balcony or terrace with a sea view.
Heralded as the "first major hotel to open in Hong Kong in 15 years," the sleek Four Seasons opened in September 2005. Easily the top location on Hong Kong Island, the hotel is located on the waterfront of the Central neighborhood, with the Star Ferry just steps away. Its 399 spacious guestrooms have wall-to-wall windows offering views of the Harbour, Kowloon and the Peak. From the outdoor infinity pools, heated in winter, guests enjoy sweeping Harbour views.
Hotel Hassler, Rome

Crazy about Cape Town: Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa
October 2, 2007
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Falling temperatures in this hemisphere means sweet sunshine in South Africa, and what better time to take a jaunt to Cape Town? Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa offers insane luxury-- "where earth, sea, and sky meet," poised above the Atlantic, flanked by Table Mountain and the majestic Twelve Apostles range, just minutes from the glorious oceanfront city of Cape Town. Camp out in the pool gardens overlooking the ocean and soak up some rays. Hit the Sanctuary Spa and gape at the endlessly seductive sea views from the Outdoor Gazebo. (Sublime treatment packages make use of the world-class facilities: Cape Town's only Rasul Chamber, brine pool and hot and cold plunge pools, both dry and wet treatment rooms, along with sauna, vichy shower and hydrotherapy bath.) Enjoy a picnic-- packed to your liking from a selection of gourmet treats-- on Cape Town's incredible beaches. After a day exploring the area, return to the award-winning hotel to catch the sunset over the sea, cocktail in hand. After dinner, watch a classic movie in the hotel's 16-seater theater. Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa continues their wildly popular promotion, Four Nights for the Price of Three, until December 18, 2007.

Buzzworthy: Riad Meriem Opens in Marrakech, Morocco
September 20, 2007
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
A new luxury hotel has located in the heart of the Medina of Marrakech, the oldest quarter dating back to the 11th century. Almost impossibly chic, the new Riad Meriem is comprised of five opulent suites, individually designed to perfection. (Expect state-of-the-art technology, like sound systems with iPod and Bose speakers, and free broadband WiFi Internet access.) The New York-based owner and designer, Thomas Hays, created this high-end boutique with the art lover in mind; the property showcases marvelous oriental textiles and paintings. Centered around a patio with an oriental plunge pool, the Riad Meriem was magically restored by Marrakechi artisans with lush gardens and cool running water to create an intoxicating oasis. The bougainvillea-draped terrace-- surrounded by olive trees, jasmine, and pomegranate bushes-- is ideal for sunbathing. Watch the sun rise over the Atlas Mountains while enjoying a lovely breakfast, and in the evenings, dine by candlelight. In the chimney lounge, sip an aperitif by an open fire. You can score introductory rates of $210 per night (through December 14) if you book by November 1, 2007.

From your own private plunge pool, look out over Lake Tanganyika, sighted by explorers Richard Burton and John Speke in 1858 in their pursuit of the source of the Nile-- surely a sight for sore eyes after their journey. If only the explorers had it this good: the remote resort on Lupita Island offers the finest amenities, beautiful furnishings, and top notch service (private butlers attend to every whim). Built on a hilltop on the 110-acre island, the resort features 14 exquisitely designed villas with spectacular lake and mountain views. After a day spent sailing, kayaking, mountain biking, or hitting the beach, relax with a massage in the fully-equipped spa.

Destination: Tanzania and the Zanzibar Serena Inn
August 21, 2007

An African safari wouldn't be complete without a stop-over at the Indian Ocean hot spot of Zanzibar. The archipelago is just a hop from the mainland, and entices visitors with its rich history and aquamarine waters. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of ancient Stone Town is buzzing with bright bazaars, redolent with the scent of cloves. Wander the narrow streets and marvel at the Portuguese, Arab, Dutch, and English cultural influences. The place to stay is the Zanzibar Serena Inn, the perfect base to explore the atmospheric streets of the town. Idyllically situated on the sea front, the hotel is a haven of opulence amidst the bustle of the town. Each guest room is a cool, white enclave, constructed in the traditional design of a Swahili house, adorned with traditionally carved furniture, cool-ceramics, intricate fretwork, and draped beds. Lovely doors open onto wrought-iron balconies overlooking the Persian-bath pool and azure bay beyond.

Im sorry anon but seriously..don't belittle the importance of a father because St.Angie was not around. They both obvioously love their kids and spend time with them equally.

Super cute. Knox is Shiloh's twin. I have no idea who the eff Vivienne looks like.
4 years
Probably crying because there are hundreds of people yelling and rushing toward them. Who cares if you scare a little kid, as long as you get that big check for a picture of Brad and/or Angelina with their kids. Lousy. Now I understand why Bjork and Axl Rose punch out the paps.

No need to aske the stablity question when they have both of their parents close almost all the time.
annamari 4 years
Kids have 2 parents. How can it be wrong to be looked after by your dad?
4 years
If you hate saying it you wouldn't say it. you love it. lol -- Angelina has help. she's admitted to having nannies .LOTS of them. -- have you thought that maybe Brad wanted a couple of kids to stay behind with him? I'm sure the nannies did most of the work for him but It seems rare for either one of them to be without their children . i can't be sure cause I don't know them personally lol but from what I see from paparazzi and media... they both always have at least 2 kids at all times.
4 years
I hate to say this because it's none of my business, but I'll do it anyway. When kids are this young they need to stay close to their mother and other siblings. They don't understand work and reasons, all they know is they feel abandoned by mother and siblings and it's very painful to for them and some of us to watch. Two hours away from a mother at their age feels like eternity. These kids must be living in fear. With all the money, I wish/hope Jolie gets someone to care for them and keep them close to her. I work with these precious children and they are unbelivably precious and very sensitive. I'm sure Brad is the best father, but they need their mother close by. Please Anjie, how you miss your mother today is how they miss you every minute.

probably crying because he has no idea who the strange man carrying him is. lol kidding. kinda.

Australian pace bowler Mitchell Starc will have surgery later this week on an ankle injury as he races the clock to be fit for the Ashes series against England, Cricket Australia said on Tuesday. The left-armer will return from the team's tour of India early, missing the fourth Test, for the operation. Australian team doctor Peter Brukner said Starc, who has taken 30 wickets in his nine-Test career, would have bone spurs on his right ankle removed. "Mitch will have surgery later this week and we'll assess his recovery as he returns to bowling," he said in a statement. Coach Mickey Arthur said they wanted to get the surgery done as soon as possible to ensure he was ready for the Ashes series beginning in July. "We were aware that Mitch would need surgery at some point in the future to have the spurs removed," he said. "He could have continued playing but we want to take a proactive approach in managing Mitch to have him fit for the Ashes series in England."

Across tobacco country, crops wilt from rainBy BRUCE SCHREINER
and MARTHA WAGGONER
THE Associated Press | July 21,2013AP PHOTO
Harnett County farmer Kent Revels inspects one of his tobacco fields in Fuquay Varina, N.C. Heavy rain across the nations tobacco-growing territories has soaked the dry weather-loving plants to the point that many cant be saved. Revels estimates up to a third of his yield has already been damaged.LOUISVILLE Jason Elliott had one of his best stands of burley tobacco growing until the rains started. Five days and seven inches of precipitation later, about a quarter of his crop was ruined, trimming thousands of dollars from his payday when he hauls his leaf to market in a few months.
Fields all over tobacco country have been soaked, and without a good stretch of dry weather in coming weeks, Elliotts predicament could play out many times over. In Kentucky alone, the nations second-leading producer, the toll could hit as much as $100 million if the crop doesnt rebound. More than half of top grower North Carolinas crop is in jeopardy.
It threatens to become the latest setback for a sector of agriculture that has endured sluggish prices, higher production costs and uncertain markets due to smoking bans.
In Kentucky, the thunderstorms that started two days before Independence Day and continued into the weekend caused tobacco plants to wilt and collapse about a month before burley harvest shifts into high gear. Some of the plants at Elliotts Lincoln County farm slumped over, barely boot-top high. Others stood but looked sickly.
Its just got a real pale color to it, Elliott said. It doesnt have the good green tobacco color that it should have.
Damage appeared to be heaviest in south-central Kentucky, a prime burley tobacco region where as much as 60 percent to 80 percent of the crop was affected, said Bob Pearce, a University of Kentucky burley extension specialist.
This is the most widespread and significant amount of damage Ive seen from a single event like this, Pearce said. The number of (damage) reports that Im getting is kind of unprecedented. Its been a game-changer.
Kentucky is the nations leading producer of burley tobacco, an ingredient in many cigarettes. Based on last years prices, the downpours could cut the statewide yield by up to 25 percent, Pearce said.
Rain gauges have been overflowing as well in North Carolina, where flue-cured tobacco reigns.
Kent Revels, who grows flue-cured tobacco in Harnett County, N.C., said hes measured more than 30 inches of rain since May 1, with 17 in June when the average is just over 3 inches. Rain continued into July.
Were doing the things we normally do, said Revels, who farms 260 acres of tobacco. Were just fighting the rain to do it. Im not throwing in the towel, but its going to be a short crop. It all depends on what the weather will be from here on out.
North Carolina farmers planted 170,000 acres of tobacco in 2013, up 4 percent from 2012, said state Agriculture Department spokesman Brian Long.
In Kentucky, burley growers planted an estimated 78,000 acres this year, a 4,000-acre increase from a year ago, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Services field office in the state.
Tobacco is known as a resilient crop, and the roots can dry out if the rain stops. But so much rain makes for a thinner crop that doesnt weigh as much as it should, and the marketing system is based on dollars per pounds.
Regional agronomist Don Nicholson estimated that up to 80 percent of North Carolina tobacco farmers will be able to turn this crop around with a stretch of normal summer temperatures and dry conditions.
Thats one of the wonderful things about tobacco, he said. You cant count the plant out until you destroy the crop. It can be extremely dry and you get a few rains and you can make a crop. Or it can be really wet and it gets dry, and the plants put a root system down.
In Tennessee, yields will be down from a year ago due to a wet spring and early summer, said Bob Miller, a tobacco researcher for UK and the University of Tennessee.
Weve had way more water than tobacco likes, Miller said.
In Virginia, the nations No. 3 tobacco producer and home to Marlboro maker Philip Morris USA, the rainy conditions prevented tobacco plants from setting deep roots.
In terms of damage or loss, we havent lost very much. Its been limited, said David Reed from Virginia Techs Southern Piedmont Agricultural Research and Extension Center. Were going to be OK unless it absolutely turns off dry in August.MORE IN National / World BusinessBRUSSELS European Union institutions are piling pressure on Google to change the way it...

The Spartan coaches
Check under beds for Keenan
Just before they sleep
Filed under: navy football | 16 Comments »
Split seasons are common in minor league baseball. That's not how college football operates, but it sort of feels that way for Navy. Nobody was happy when the Mids fell to 2-4, but after cruising to a win over VMI and getting a week off, Saturday's game against San Jose State feels less like game #8 and more like the opening contest of a new season. Then again, with the margin of error being so thin if they want to finish with a winning record, perhaps it's more accurate to think of the rest of 2014 as a playoff instead of a second season.
The first round of that playoff has San Jose State making the long trip to Annapolis. The 2014 Spartans have a lot in common with Navy, including their own 3-game losing streak making for a rough start to the season. The difference is that SJSU appears to have already turned the corner. After starting the season 1-3, the Spartans have won their last two to pull back to .500 and move up to 2nd in the wide-open West division of the MWC. With games against the other division contenders still left to be played, the Spartans have a clear path to the conference title game and control their own destiny. Things are picking up for this team, and the frustration of a slow start has given way to the optimism of a possible dream season. That optimism comes from improvement on both sides of the ball.
Statistically, SJSU has the #1 pass defense in the country. Sometimes a ranking like this is because of who you've played just as much as how you've played; playing run-first teams like Auburn, Minnesota, and Wyoming certainly help to pad that statistic. It isn't all smoke and mirrors, though. The Spartans are also ranked #1 in pass efficiency defense, and have only given up 1 passing TD all season. Their opponents are averaging 4.57 yards per passing attempt, which also leads the nation. Driving that number is the fact that SJSU's last 4 opponents have managed to complete only 40% of their passes.
A good pass defense doesn't seem all that relevant against a triple option team, but that's not the only thing that San Jose State does well. The team is 12th in the country in total defense, allowing only 313 yards per game. That's after playing Auburn and Minnesota, too. In SJSU's last 3 games– all conference opponents– they've allowed an average of only 251 total yards per game. That's pretty incredible. The architect of this defense is none other than Greg Robinson, former Syracuse head coach and owner of two Super Bowl rings as the Denver Broncos' defensive coordinator in 1997 and 1998. Robinson also had stints as defensive coordinator at Texas and Michigan recently, although he's best known for his NFL work. It's always a bit of a guessing game when it comes to how former NFL guys try to defend the option. On one hand, they usually don't have much experience with it. On the other hand, Navy's coaches won't have much in the way of film to study to know what to prepare for.
I don't think there's too much of a mystery this week though, at least in a general sense. Navy's last 5 opponents have all taken the same basic approach, being very aggressive with their secondaries and daring the Mids to throw the ball. Their tactics have differed, but the strategy was the same. Even VMI, the team that had their safeties lining up 20 yards away from the line of scrimmage in the 2012 game, brought a lot of pressure with their defensive backs. For San Jose State, it only seems logical to want to force Navy to throw against the nation's top passing defense.
The Spartan defense isn't the only unit to see a resurgence. Quarterback Blake Jurich was benched after the SJSU offense gave up 8 turnovers in three weeks. Managing only 326 ypg in those games, the offense has averaged 486 ypg in its last three behind Jurich's replacement, Joe Gray. The mistakes haven't disappeared, though. Despite outgaining Nevada 446-256, San Jose State ended up losing 21-10 thanks to a second half that featured a lost fumble, a missed field goal, a failed 4th down conversion, and two interceptions. The Spartans again dominated the stat sheet against Wyoming last week, but still needed overtime to pull out the win after missing two more field goals and losing two more fumbles, one of which was returned for a touchdown. This might sound uncomfortably familiar. San Jose State is good, but there's a reason why they're 3-3. This game might come down to which team is able to more thoroughly exorcise its demons.
San Jose State's offense is a pass-first, spread scheme similar to others that Navy has faced this year. Those have been the games that the Navy defense has performed their best, including wins over Temple and Texas State. Even against Western Kentucky, the Mids were able to force the Hilltoppers out of their comfort zone and made them run the ball. The problem for Navy in that game was that WKU responded and ran the ball very well. Once they were able to do that, their whole offense opened up for them. San Jose State has shown an ability to run the ball when needed, too. The Spartans ran for 277 yards against UNLV, including 133 from Tyler Ervin. Ervin ran for 96 last week against Wyoming. As well as SJSU throws the ball, the key for the Navy defense might actually be in how well they're able to stop the run.
In a way, SJSU's 3-3 record is misleading. Two of those losses came against 5-1 Auburn and 6-1 Minnesota. Plenty of teams would struggle against those guys. SJSU has fared much better in games that are more even matchups, including conference wins over UNLV and Wyoming. The good news for Navy is that the week off did them some good in getting the team healthy again. Keenan Reynolds, according to Coach Niumatalolo, is as healthy as he's been all season. The offensive line should get a boost as well, with Tanner Fleming, Blaze Ryder, and Joey Gaston all practicing this week. Navy will probably have to play their best game of the season to pull out a win, so the Mids can use all the help they can get.

I know not too many Navy fans are dialed in to the minutiae of our future conference yet. As long as we have a bye week, though, we might start guessing which Group of Five conference champion will go to the Fiesta, Peach, or Cotton Bowl. As we've discussed, the exposure and more importantly the money will be a springboard to staying with the haves in the next tectonic shift of the college football landscape.
At the moment, the highest ranked G5 member is our future conference-mate East Carolina. Why have they climbed to #18 in the AP poll and #16 in the Coaches Poll? They went 2-1 against South Carolina, Virginia Tech, and North Carolina, and looked pretty good doing so. The Pirates have the inside track, but still have the hardest part of their campaign in the American ahead: at Cincinnati, UCF, and even at 4-1 Temple will be tests.
Also creeping into the top 25 is Marshall, from Conference USA. Marshall? Yes, Marshall. They were Phil Steele's pre-season pick for the access bowl nod. Reason number one is their talented QB Rakeem Cato. Reason number two is their relatively soft schedule. ESPN's Football Power Index calculates Marshall's chance of winning out as 45% – that is ridiculous and the best mark of any of the 128 teams. The schedule doesn't offer any big wins to increase the possibility that the Herd will thunder ahead of the Pirates, but if they remain undefeated they could also have a 13th win to point to in the MAC championship.
How will the College Football Playoff Committee rank these two? Great question. There has been a lot of coverage on how they'll look at the playoff contenders, but I haven't seen a specific rundown for identifying the highest ranked G5 team. Speculating with Massey's composite of 75 rankings doesn't clarify things for me. Undefeated Marshall is actually comfortably ahead of East Carolina in the comparison, and ranks as high as #4 in two systems!
That composite also doesn't give me much insight beyond the two front runners. Boise State was probably on a lot of minds when this format was identified. With two losses, they are lumped with one-loss Colorado State and two-loss Utah State at #44, #46 & #47. Those Mountain West contenders are still ahead of Marshall's or East Carolina's conference challengers. The MAC and Sun Belt are even farther back.
When the first College Football Playoff Committee rankings are released in two weeks, there will still be a lot of football to be played. But there may be as much or more insight into how the committee ranks the Group of Five champions as there is into the top four selection.

For years, we've made fun of Air Force players (and fans) for losing to Navy, then saying things like, "They didn't beat us! We beat ourselves!" It's the rallying cry of the loser, but the way Navy played against Air Force (and everyone else this year), more than a few of you probably have that same thought rattling through your heads. Don't fool yourselves. Football, like most other team sports, essentially boils down to two things: creating opportunities for yourself, then capitalizing on those opportunities. Maybe you screwed up your chances, but do you know what happens when the other team doesn't screw up theirs? They beat you. Good teams make the most out of what's given to them. The better team won on Saturday, and you'll save yourself a lot of confusion if you just accept the obvious.
What isn't so obvious is just how Air Force became the better team. We've sort of conditioned ourselves to think that "better team" means the one that's bigger, faster, and stronger, and that's certainly a large part of it. The mental part of the game is just as important, though; maybe even more important at a place like Navy where most of our opponents are the bigger, faster, and stronger team each week. Navy recruits more physical talent now than they have for decades, but we still get excited when we land guys who had other FBS offers. Everyone else we play has rosters full of those guys. Not Air Force, you say, and that's true. Does Saturday mean that Air Force is the more physically talented team now? I don't know. Were they last year when Navy won by 18? It's basically the same group of players on both sides. While it stings more than the other losses, this isn't really about the Air Force game; the brass band of mistakes has been marching down Navy's Main Street all season. I can't explain why. Chances are, you probably can't explain it either.
That certainly hasn't stopped people from trying. That's to be expected up to a point; I'm not going to pretend that I don't have my own theories. Nobody likes the unknown, and even fewer people like to admit that they don't know. Still, the fact that we don't know what's wrong doesn't mean that every guess has equal validity. There's a difference between an educated guess and wild speculation, especially considering that some people make the same assumptions every time something goes wrong, no matter what that something is.
I'm disappointed at how many Navy fans (and presumably graduates) turn immediately to questioning player character whenever the team struggles. "The players have been reading their press clippings." "The Heisman hype went straight to his head." Etc., etc. What's the logic here? That the players don't practice as hard because they think they're so good already? Based on what? I find it unlikely that the people who say this have actually seen Navy practice (or any other team, probably). If you haven't, you have no business saying things like this. You probably don't even if you have seen practice. When people don't know football, they tend to try to explain the things they see in non-football terms. You don't need to know any Xs & Os to talk about effort, so that's what people fall back on. They shouldn't. It's ok to say "I don't know."
The same could be said about a lot of the coaching complaints I see, although this is admittedly a little trickier. Part of the fun of sports is Monday conversations around the water cooler, and debating the moves that coaches make is part of why we watch. I get that. You might want to keep a little perspective, though. In the last 30 years, Navy has had zero winning seasons without Ken Niumatalolo on the sidelines. They've had one without Ivin Jasper. With them, they've had 12 and 11, respectively. These guys know what they're doing at a place where very few coaches would manage to succeed. They aren't any more perfect than any other human being, but they are certainly experts in their field. That means the super-obvious solutions to all the team's problems that you thought of ("Bench that guy! Call this play!") probably would have been done a while ago if the problems were really that simple. As with most things involving so many moving parts (both on the field and off), they rarely are.
"But Mike," you say, "didn't Coach Jasper take the blame for the offense's performance in the Air Force game?" Yes, he did. I have no doubt that he wishes he did things differently, because it's only human to think "what if" whenever we don't succeed at something. When you read coach quotes in the paper, though, it's important to keep in mind that coaches generally don't care what you or I think. They care about winning, because their livelihood depends on it. When they talk to the media, that's the context you need to understand what's truly being said. Sometimes coaches will be critical of players if they think it'll motivate them. Sometimes they'll offer themselves up as lightning rods for criticism instead to shield a struggling team from the "press clippings" guys. In other words, like the Oracle in The Matrix, they say what they think their team needs to hear. The coaches are always focused on what it will take get their teams to play their best in the next game. While I can't read minds, I don't think the coaches are all that concerned about answering to those of us in the peanut gallery.
When everyone was excited after the Ohio State game, I was a little more cautious and wrote this:
There is a point to be made, though, that you will be best served by keeping your expectations in check. Each game is its own unique matchup of players and coaches. What happens in one doesn't necessarily have any bearing on the others. Don't let the fun of football season be ruined by your own wild and unrealistic expectations that were based on one hard-fought game against a tough opponent.
I certainly didn't think that the Mids would be 2-4 at this point, but I could sort of tell that things weren't as peachy as they appeared. It worried me, not because Navy might not have the season that people were hoping for, but because it meant that at some point I'd have to deal with legions of OUTRAGED! people posting here. I spend several hours per week working on a blog dedicated to Navy football, so I can't pretend that I don't take it seriously. Taking it seriously doesn't mean you have to act so angry when things go south, though. I get as upset as anyone when the team doesn't play well, but in the end this stuff is supposed to be fun.
You are what your record says you are, and halfway through the season, Navy is 2-4. Fortunately, there's a lot of season left, and what Navy is now does not have to be what they are at the end. We've seen these guys come through before, and they have it in them to do it again. Each game is another chance for something awesome to happen, and I can't wait to watch. Enjoy it, for my sake and for yours.
