While I rarely just buy games out of sheer blindness, I sometimes make that terrible leap of faith that makes me regret gaming as a whole. While I am also sometimes rather delighted at the game I have blindly bought, last night was not one of those times. History Channel: Battle for the Pacific is one of those games that you just want to be good solely for the fact that a Pacific Theater of Operations FPS has never been done well on any platform. Sadly, after playing roughly three missions of this game, I fear the sub genre within the WWII game catalog will continue to fall shorter than Uwe Boll's ability to make a good film.
I think what kills this game the most is that the missions are far too short with far to few enemies in each battle area to truly make it compelling. All this game seems to do is make players do mind numbingly easy tasks for the sake of moving around while making you think you're doing something important. For example, in the first mission I was charged with the easy task of following some fellow soldier around as we went to various "hotspots" on the map. We encountered some resistance, but usually in the form of a small detachment of three to four blind Japanese that spent more time jumping over things to get into the fight than actually fighting. When each firefight ended in an amazing three to four seconds apiece, you have to go on to the next "breach" in the defenses. Now, this would be fine if Treyarch or Infinity Ward had done the game as there would have been some hint of danger, but they didn't and what we are left with is an island invasion force of Japanese that seems like it has all of nineteen or twenty soldiers that seem to go to great lengths to really get ready for each fight - even when sneaking up on you.
This doesn't fly as it has long been my understanding that the Japanese had more than capable numbers and were quite adept at fighting pretty much everywhere they went in the South Pacific. At least that's what my grandfather used to tell me about the war. So by this games' depiction of the Pacific, it is kind of hard to understand how we didn't topple the Japanese empire in a half hour and promptly go right into V-J day and parades and the like.
That's not to say that all is bad.
For the most part.
The missions, if they are able to be called that, are broken up by some nice historic footage that kind of shows more action from each conflict than the actual game bits ever does. The graphics themselves are nice, but suffer from that normal mapping plastic wrap look that so many games seem to employ these days. The weapon models are adequate, but lack the overall polish of the Call of Duty or Brothers in Arms games. The sound is somewhat blah with washed out vocals and very tinny weapons fire. Voice acting borders on non existent to repetitive with a majority of the lines delivered by what sound like Canadians?!?
The game controls pretty much like every other FPS out there, just with a halfhearted aiming mechanic that makes the soldier you're controlling look as bored as you are with the conflict by only bringing the rifle up chest high while magical crosshairs with a fifteen foot radius turn red to indicate you have the enemy in the sights you can't actually look down.
I'm sad to say that I really can't recommend this game to anyone - not even fanatical WWII buffs as it is as boring as you can get, sub-generic and not even capable of making you give a shit about any of the historic battles that this game is supposed to portray.
This picture above sort of sums up my feelings on this particular game, I think...

Great flavor... I will never ever buy thousand island again. My girlfiend and I made a double batch to share. Made for 123 tag.
Have not eaten Thousand Island dressing in a long while, so I thought I would give this a try. Used regular mayo and omitted the water as you suggested. Also left out red peppers, just a preference. Very good recipe and it is even better the next day. Thanks for sharing it.
This made a delicious dressing for my salad this evening! A great blend of flavors that I will make again. The only thing I changed was I didn't use fat free mayo, I used regular. Thanks Kitten!

With his paintings The Forgotten Man (2010), One Nation Under God (2009), and most recently, Wake Up America! (2011), Jon McNaughton aims to leave little room for interpretation. In their remarkable didacticism—an America on the brink of political and moral disaster—McNaughton's works serve to call the nation to arms, or at least to the polling booths. The impression is one of thorough legibility, of history as a long list of epigraphs. The artist will have nothing of ambivalence or illegibility. "Everything about [One Nation Under God] is symbolic," McNaughton frankly explains.
As if dusted off from some Smithsonian storage unit, the crowded regimentation of figures, especially the array of hands and arms, recalls the theatricality of fiberglass scenes in a history museum or commemorative engravings of Congressional celebrities that were popular in the nineteenth century.
However, by fully exploiting Internet technology on his website, these paintings are thoroughly twenty-first century creations. By placing the cursor on each figure, the viewer summons a detailed register of the artist's comments, identifying the person and explaining why he or she is included. The device confirms my initial sense: these are images you read because they bear meaning, a solemn message that was the principal engine of their creation. Nothing in the images escapes the cursor's errand.
There are precisely fifty stars in the striped heavens radiating from Jesus' head in One Nation Under God. And the leaden skies above the White House in The Forgotten Man form "an ominous dark cloud hang[ing] over this country in the form of an uncontrollable Federal Deficit with crushing debt obligations." In Wake Up America!, a heavy chain snakes through a crowd captivated by President Obama, who delivers a stump speech in falling streams of money. Enslaved to government handouts and excessive spending, the people are depicted as having traded national sovereignty for a new Babylonian captivity.Continue Reading on religionandpolitics.org

THE rand was more than 30c weaker against the dollar late on Wednesday, after Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan delivered the much-awaited budget speech.
At 3.25pm, the rand was at R15.5540 against the dollar from R15.2380 at Tuesday's close.
Against the euro, the rand was at R17.0758 from R16.7891, and at R21.6342 against the pound from R21.3597.
The euro was at $1.0979 from $1.1018 previously.
Bidvest Bank's chief forex dealer, Ion de Vleeshauwer, said the main problem was that ratings agency Moody's downgraded Brazil's sovereign rating two notches to junk, just as Mr Gordhan started delivering his budget speech.
"The rand and Brazilian real weakened as Mr Gordhan made his speech and the decrease in the rand is probably exaggerated due to the Brazilian downgrade. The Brazilian downgrade increases the risk for a local downgrade. This downgrade does not bode well for SA and did not help the rand," Mr De Vleeshauwer said.
On the budget front, he said, the market might have been expecting more aggressive tax hikes and for it to have been more geared towards significant growth. The budget did not stipulate where the government was going to increase growth, which was punishing the rand, Mr De Vleeshauwer said.
The government was also continuing to look for off-shore loans. It was also going to issue more offshore bonds, which weighed on the rand.

Ann Romney Miscarriage Details Disclosed, But Still No Tax Info
According to an in-depth profile of Ann Romney recently released by the AP, the Romneys suffered more heart-breaking news.
According to the report, not only does Ann Romney have multiple sclerosis, and is a breast cancer survivor, but she also had a miscarriage, according to a close family friend.
Supporters were shocked to learn the news just days before the Republican convention.
"What a brave woman," said one undisclosed supporter. "She's been through so much, and now this."
When told that the miscarriage actually occurred sometime between 1978 and 1981, the woman was unfazed.
"Still, that is a heavy burden to bear. I'm so glad she shared this information with us."
While one can never discount the heartache of miscarriage or the fact that the Romneys did not come forward with this information directly, some are wondering about the timing of this announcement just days before the GOP National Convention, one mired in controversy over women's childbearing issues.
It was with that in mind that one lone reporter summoned the courage to ask Mrs. Romney once again to divulge the information everyone is eager to see.
"So, Mrs. Romney, Ann… since we know just about everything else about you and your husband now, do you suppose we could finally get a peek at some more of your tax records?" to which Romney answered, "not on your life."

John Goodman's Lawyers Want Him Out of House Arrest, and His Ankle Monitor Removed
John Goodman's lawyers have filed a request to have the polo mogul taken out of house arrest and for his ankle monitor to be removed.
The paperwork was filed Tuesday in the Palm Beach County courthouse.
Goodman was awarded a new trial thanks to a loop-hole found by his former attorneys, Roy Black and Mark A.J. Shapiro.
For the moment, Goodman is allowed to frolic in his 160-acre complex in the International Polo Club under house arrest -- with one hour of outdoor exercise a day.

Last October, Goodman was caught tampering with his ankle monitor and had his bond temporarily revoked by a judge.
At the time, Goodman's lawyers had claimed the device broke accidentally. But police found evidence that Goodman had smashed it with the side of a handheld mirror while in the shower (he finally spent some time behind actual bars thanks to his ankle monitor shenanigans).
Goodman, who was originally sentenced to 16 years in prison after he got drunk, got in his car, ran a stop sign, and then killed 23-year-old college student Scott Wilson, was given a new trial because of a self-published book written by one of the jurors.
At the time of the accident, Goodman's blood-alcohol level was recorded at .177, more than twice the legal limit.
In addition to requesting the removal of house arrest and the ankle monitor for Goodman, the attorneys are also planning to ask for lighter bond restrictions at his June 3 hearing.

It Is Well
By Bliss, Philip
Piano, Violin - Intermediate
Composed by Bliss, Philip. Arranged by Nick Lacanski. Sacred, Christian. Sheet Music Single, Score. 3 pages. Published by theupperstaff.com (S0.2044).
Item Number: S0.2044
This is a very strong and powerful arrangement of one of the best known hymns of all time. The violinist is prominent throughout, utilizing double stops and higher positions. From the hymnal comes this solo violin and piano arrangement of one of the all-time favorites. It works very well as a call to worship or an offertory. The violin part extends to fifth position. From it's fanfare like opening set in E to the "B" section set in the more tranquil key of F, this one really helps set the mind for worship.

10/08/2008 - The HERSHEY BEARS officially begin its 71st season in the American Hockey League Wednesday night, with a game in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton against the Penguins. Face-off at Wachovia Arena is at 7:05 p.m. The BEARS enter the regular season after a perfect 3-0 exhibition slate, outscoring its competition 16-8. HERSHEY most recently scored six power play goals en route to an 8-2 win over the Penguins at GIANT Center Sunday. Perhaps the most stirring moment of Wednesday's regular season opener will be the official return of Graham Mink to HERSHEY'S lineup. Mink last stepped on the ice for the BEARS on June 13, 2006, the night the Chocolate and White clinched the team's ninth Calder Cup. Mink's return coincides with the debut of veteran center Keith Aucoin, who played last season with Carolina (NHL) and notched 99 points two years ago with Albany. Daren Machesney is expected to draw his first opening night start Wednesday. Wednesday's game can be heard via the BEARS Radio Network (100.1 FM, 1490 AM, Sportsjuice.com) beginning with the pregame shoe at 6:45 p.m. John Walton, in his seventh season behind the microphone for the BEARS, provides play-by-play. The game is the beginning of a season opening four-game road trip, with the team's 71st home opener set for Saturday, October 18 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets for the game are on sale now at the GIANT Center box office, or by calling (717) 534-3911.

The protein encoded by this gene has been shown to be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, and in the crosstalk between the adiponectin signalling and insulin signalling pathways. The encoded protein binds many other proteins, including RAB5A, DCC, AKT2, PIK3CA, adiponectin receptors, and proteins of the NuRD/MeCP1 complex. This protein is found associated with endosomal membranes, but can be released by EGF and translocated to the nucleus

Berlin Game is Len Deighton's first of three books in a continuing series of principle characters who work for the clandestine SIS espionage department of the English Government. Time period is towards the end of the Cold War and the action takes place from day to day with the actualities of life itself the good & the bad. The main character Bernard Samson becomes in the readers eyes a living person where change is measured in real time, Bernard grows older, suffers set backs but most of all must face the greatest personal betrayal anyone must handle. Len Deighton starts all of his main characters with well established personalities. This he had done as not to take up pages setting the ground work for the characters. He then has time to work on the stories that are expertly intertwined with each other. As a consummate writer of Cold War Espionage Spy genre Len Deighton is a writer that once you begin to read his books you become upset they are over and can not wait for his next book. As this book series is a re-release of his entire 9 books of this series, which I had read when they were originally published, I could not wait and journey back to my favorite type of espionage books. All toll I have read 14 of his books, therefor I highly recommend this book and the books in the 3 trilogies.
Enjoyable. Reads easier than Le Carre.
I greatly enjoyed this book. The plot begins quickly and never lags. Suspenseful right to the end. I want to read the other two books in the trilogy.
This is book is one of a series, and the first one of a trilogy about the British espionage industry. One of the series, The Ipcress File, was made into a movie with Michael Caine which was very good. I recommend all the Len Deighton thrillers without reservation.
What's billed as a classic spy novel is a letdown from multiple angles. The lack of action, intrigue, and potential antagonists. The main character of Bernard Samson is very likable. Truly, a delight to read. Sadly, he's given almost nothing to do. Boring muses as to who might be betraying him all the while, its blatantly obvious. Overall, just a bland tale involving one very interesting character.

Outlook 2013
2012 was an eventful year in the world of cybersecurity, to say the least. High-profile cyberattacks, multiple failed attempts to pass legislation, and the continuing buildup of the U.S. Cyber Command and military cyber capabilities are just a few of 2012's most important cyber-related events.
Experts and insiders almost unanimously pointed to a handful of prominent attacks around the world as defining moments in the year's cyber landscape. The Shamoon virus unleashed on Saudi Arabia's state oil company destroyed 30,000 computers, an unprecedented occurrence in cyber warfare. Before that, the release of New York Times reporter David Sanger's book "Confront and Conceal: Obama's Secret Wars and Surprising Use of American Power" unveiled the United States' involvement in the development and release of Stuxnet — itself a crucial affair with reverberations far beyond the confines of cyberspace.
Read the other stories in our Outlook 2013 feature package. Click here.
"With the publication of this book, you essentially had a play-by-play of how this went from idea to effect," said Richard Bejtlich, chief security officer at Mandiant. "It revealed how having a piece of code [could] not just disrupt a computer or steal information but actually have a physical effect to destroy machinery and while doing so have a major international relations event. Now that we know, more or less, that the U.S. and its ally Israel were involved in creating Stuxnet, other countries have a tool they can use when discussing cybersecurity relations with the U.S."
Meanwhile, the cybersecurity discussion continued to churn. On Capitol Hill, ongoing battles over the best way to legislate cybersecurity resulted in gridlock. An executive order came to be seen as the best short-term solution, but nobody believed it was a good substitute for comprehensive legislation, and the battle in Congress is certain to resume in 2013.
"I think we'll see some legislation coming out of Congress this year," said Charles Croom, vice president of cybersecurity solutions at Lockheed Martin and former director of the Defense Information Systems Agency. "It'll probably take the executive order and put some of that into law, and take parts of existing proposed legislation and put that into law as well. Things everyone seems to agree on — research and development, education, information sharing, critical infrastructure protection — those will be topics at hand that will at least get into proposed legislation. The hard part will continue to be how much to regulate versus incentivize."
At the Defense Department, the services are continuing to build cyber capabilities. The ranks and capabilities of the fledgling Cyber Command are filling out, and its leaders are determining the evolving requirements for the Pentagon's newest domain: cyberspace.
In 2013, training will likely be a top priority as a new generation of military personnel sharpens much-needed cyber skills, and cybersecurity will be an area of budgetary exception, unlikely to face the ax as much as other DOD programs.
"The demand signal has increased and will continue to increase," said Lt. Gen. Michael Basla, the Air Force's CIO. "Why is that? Because the threat is out there. It's not just a Department of Defense thing. It's a national imperative that we must protect our country against the cyber threats. We have to address how to respond to that demand signal."
Cybersecurity should not be subject to budget cuts and, indeed, could be one of a few growth areas in the age of scarce funding, Basla said. "Cyber is integrated across all our capabilities and everything we do as a nation," he said. "We need to be prepared for that."

Army says 'don't ask, don't tell' is the law
WASHINGTON – Reversing course, Army Secretary John McHugh warned soldiers Thursday that they still can be discharged for acknowledging they are gay, saying he misspoke earlier this week when he suggested the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy had been temporarily suspended.
The public stumble by a senior service official is an indication of the issue's legal complexity. The Pentagon has said it wants to hear from gay troops as it conducts a broad study on how it could lift the ban, as President Barack Obama wants.
But to do that, gay service members would have to break the law, which prohibits them from discussing their sexual orientation.
Defense Department officials say they plan to hire an outside contractor to survey the troops, and that gay troops won't be punished for sharing their views with that third party.
"Until Congress repeals 'don't ask, don't tell,' it remains the law of the land and the Department of the Army and I will fulfill our obligation to uphold it," McHugh said Thursday.
Earlier in the week, when pressed by reporters, McHugh said he wouldn't try to discharge service members who in private conversations with him acknowledged being gay. With regard to three soldiers who told McHugh they were gay, McHugh said he probably should have told them that they were violating the law and their conversation couldn't necessarily be kept confidential.
But he said he won't pursue administrative action against those individuals.

Algeria's economy is struggling with low oil prices taking a heavy toll on its finances. Hydrocarbons such as oil and natural gas account for 60 percent of Algeria's budget and make up 97 percent of its exports. But with oil prices low and unlikely to bounce back for some time, Algeria's Central Bank expects its "black gold" to bring in only $34bn this year, down from $68bn in 2014. In an effort to curb imports, the bank has allowed the dinar to sink to a record low against the US dollar. Meanwhile, unemployment is becoming a problem - with those out of work expected to reach 11.9 percent in 2016. To ease the pressure, the government has announced a 9 percent cut in next year's budget, but has ring-fenced housing, healthcare, education - areas cost that account for $60bn in governmen...

Long an island of stability in a Middle East marked by conflict, the Kurdish region of Iraq now faces a perfect storm. Its finances have been severely affected by the dramatic decline in the price of oil, its main source of revenue.

And the KRG's Peshmerga military force is engaged with the United States and its allies in an extended offensive to rout the self-declared Islamic State extremist group and liberate the nearby city of Mosul, Iraq's second-largest.

The price of oil has decoupled from the actual cost of production. It is becoming unprofitable and the effects are being felt across the globe. Nigeria and Angola, Africas's two biggest oil producers are both in talks with the World Bank about support for their strained state finances. Budgets in Russia, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Canada are in deficit, which means cuts in public spending. Big oil is cutting jobs and capital spending, in fact BP just reported its worst annual loss in 20 years and Shell reported a 80 percent slide in profits for 2015. But there are winners too: China, India, Japan, and South K...

The Chess Mess Test
Their result for The Chess Mess Test ...
The Knight's Blacksmith
Congrats! Only 10-12% of the population score this!
The Knight's Blacksmith is practical and matter-of-fact, with a natural inclination towards business or mechanics. They apply themselves when necessary but find application to theoretical constructs to be counterproductive if a bit repugnant. Why theorize when you can simply try? They work hard and efficiently and easily meet deadlines. They are also useful in pointing out falsehoods.
They are civic-minded and work to maintain the smooth operations of a running society. They defend the status quo and are generally strong believers in rules and procedures through tradition. They are outgoing and do not hesitate to communicate their opinions and expectations of others. They may end up focusing too much on the task at hand forgetting the costs of long term. They may also be a bit blunt with their criticism. However they ensure the completion of any project with their tenacity and sheer willpower. You should be pleased scoring as a 'Pawn' - it proves that you are a constructive and contributing member of society.

What a weekend of hoops we had. First of all, we enjoyed the start of Bracketbusters, the annual non-conference slate of games between evenly matched (or at least presumed to be) teams and leagues. It's too bad that these games are going the way of the Dodo bird, but I understand why some of the leagues wanted to back out. Take the Missouri Valley, they simply don't need the game for increased national exposure any longer and their clubs run the risk of a bad loss. Over in the Mountain West, the situation is the same. Still, there was some great action. For example, Stephen F. Austin got a big win at Long Beach State. Speaking of the Valley and avoiding losses, Wichita State did just that, hammering Detroit. Detroit is still in the top 68 of the RPI but their at-large candidacy is greatly weakened by the national TV no-show. Perhaps the best result, though, was Belmont. They already had a good RPI and a strong at-large resume if the unthinkable happened in the OVC tournament but they drubbed — actually, humiliated — Ohio. The Bobcats were having a surprisingly bad season after last year's NCAA run, but the Bruins took no pity and scored a dominating win on national TV that had to have raised a few eyebrows. Lastly, Kentucky scored a major win over Missouri, proving that they aren't losing their NCAA-bid over an injury. They might lose it for other reasons, but that was a big victory.
1 Seeds: Indiana, Duke, Gonzaga, Kansas
Indiana had the most impressive win of this group recently by winning at Michigan State … or did they? Gonzaga destroyed Santa Clara on the road (85-42). That SC team is a top 100 RPI and a 20-game winner and the Bulldogs made them look like a YMCA team … ages 10 to 12 … from Oklahoma … from the Panhandle … yikes. Also, giving the Jayhawks the slimmest of edges over Michigan since that win at Oklahoma State was mighty impressive. Not quite as impressive was the horrific officiating that let them escape Ames with a win on Monday night.
[Related: Iowa State fan restrained by security trying to jump Kansas coach Bill Self]
2 Seeds: Michigan, Georgetown, Miami, Florida
I've been on the Hoyas' bandwagon for a while now. They play fantastic defense but unlike Louisville, another Big East school with solid D, Georgetown actually executes in the final stages of games. As for the Sunshine State duo of Miami and Florida, I'm not putting a lot of stock in either loss. First of all, UF bounced back in a big way against an Arkansas team that has been playing better and their defeat was at Missouri. Worse, a loss would have put Mizzou at .500 in the SEC. It wasn't a must-win for the Tigers, but it was an extremely important game. As for the Canes, no denying they were feeling some pressure with that target on the back, but I think a loss will re-focus them and they'll get the swagger back. I expect them to blitz the Hokies down in Coral Gables on the 27th.
3 Seeds: Louisville, Arizona, Kansas State, New Mexico
Thanks to Georgetown knocking them off and then Marquette beating the Orange, the Lobos finally see some upward movement. I still can't get over the fact they are only 14th in the polls. In fact, of all four of these teams, Alford's squad would scare me the most if I saw them on the second weekend.
4 Seeds: Syracuse, Oklahoma State, Michigan State, Wisconsin
The Spartans are currently ninth in the nation, so a four seed would be below the ranking. They also have the ninth-best RPI and the fifth-best SOS. So what gives? Well they coughed up a victory against top-ranked Indiana and then they lost to an Ohio State team that hasn't played well (at all really) against top-flight teams until MSU. As for Wisconsin being a head of OSU, well, their head-to-head was pretty definitive. UW lost by nine in Columbus but beat them by 22 in Madison. That is a +13 for the Badgers and also final impressions matter more. OSU's win was in January. UW's was last Sunday.
5 Seeds: Saint Louis, Ohio State, Memphis, Marquette
Woot-woot, all aboard the Saint Louis bandwagon. Man, I feel good about having them in my bracket for about a month now. Just to give you an idea about their surge. Since their appearance in my first bracket in February, they have gone from a play-in 13-seed to a five seed … A five! Amazing.
6 Seeds: Notre Dame, Butler, Pitt, Oregon
The Ducks only have the 49th best RPI and their SOS is barely inside 100, yet they are ranked in the top 25? Hmm. There's a chance that if they fall out of the AP rankings (by far their most impressive aspect of the resume), they'll tumble all the way out of the Tournament. What exactly is the shelf life of a win over Arizona?
7 Seeds: UNLV, Colorado State, Louisiana Tech, North Carolina
It's almost universally accepted that the top 25-ranked teams are seeded in relation to rank. Otherwise, what's the point of the poll? It is sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Why does this stink? Let's take a look at Louisiana Tech. Now let me say, I like the Bulldogs, they are a fun team and have a very impressive win-loss — but are they the 25th best team in America? No. Their RPI is 52, the lowest of this quad. In fact, UNC has the next lowest; yet it is 22nd. Tech has the 225th-ranked schedule. On my big board only seven teams have a worse SOS and the highest seeded of these teams is Stephen F. Austin — at a 14-seed. Honestly, if it weren't for that ranking I would have Tech as a 12-seed, the historical ceiling for league champs from sub-par leagues. Denver and New Mexico State are playing well at the moment, helping to pad the WAC and make it look better, but if Tech was slotted 12th, you know how many pundits would explode seeing a nationally ranked team being seeded below countless un-ranked teams? My guess is 95-percent of the talking heads would no longer have their head.
8 Seeds: Wichita State, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois
Here's my problem with both Mizzou and Illinois: they are relying on moments of greatness to erase being stupid, which they are the majority of the time …. and by stupid I mean losses like this: Purdue, Northwestern, LSU and Texas A&M and blowouts like this: Minnesota (17), Wisconsin (23), Ole Miss (15) and Kentucky (31). Honestly, if Illinois had lost to Nebraska but won four or five of the six they lost surrounding it and then lost to Indiana, it would be much more impressive not just in the win-loss, but would have been more accurate of this team's talents. The NCAA Tournament doesn't award invites based on a good win (or two) and it doesn't improve seeds that much. The fact of the matter is both teams are inconsistent and consistent means mediocre and mediocre power league teams will be in the 7 -to-10 slot.
9 Seeds: Virginia Commonwealth, Middle Tennessee State, San Diego State, NC State
MTSU really highlights what I said about La Tech. The Blue Raiders have a better RPI, more wins and a SOS more than 100 spots better, yet here they are, below the Bulldogs.
10 Seeds: Iowa State, Akron, Belmont, California
Cal has now ripped off five straight, including wins over Arizona and fellow mid-seed-looking team, UCLA. My one reservation is the recent Oregon road trip. Yes they beat the Ducks and Beavers but it was by a combined three points. Still too inconsistent for my liking, but they do finish up with three home games, including one over RPI darling Colorado.
11 Seeds: La Salle, UCLA, Colorado, Temple
Speaking of those RPI darlings, what has Colorado done to warrant the computer saying they are the No. 29-overall team in the nation? Is it the loss to Utah or the loss to Washington? Maybe its getting swept by Arizona State. Perhaps its losing by 36 to Kansas … wait, no, the RPI doesn't take into account margin of victory/defeat. In reality, the Buffaloes are clinging to that Arizona win for dear life and hoping their UCLA, California and Colorado State wins also impress. I'll grant Colorado fans, they deserve to be in the field, but I won't concede a very high seed to them; not without this squad finishing strong and doing something in the conference tournament.
12 Seeds: Saint Mary's, Creighton, Minnesota, PLAY IN
I'm still not crazy about the Gael's 117th-ranked SOS but in beating Creighton by eight in their Busters match up, they have now won 20 of 23 since that baffling two game skid. Two of the three losses have come against Gonzaga and sure, neither game was that competitive but the Zags are the No.2-ranked team in the nation for crying out loud. It is time to cut SMC some slack, and after keeping them out of the field for a while, I'm ready to put them in. Just too many wins at this point and sweeping BYU as well as knocking off Santa Clara and Harvard has me warming up to this team.
As for the Jays, they are one of two teams really skating by at this point. They are 2-4 in their last six and their SOS is barely inside the top 100. Those wins over Wisconsin, Cal and Arizona State seem like forever ago. The other is Minnesota, who may have the 17th best RPI and the No. 1 SOS but guess what Gophers, you need to win games! They have won just three of their last eight and their last two have been humbling losses. They have dipped to two games under .500 in the Big Ten and face Indiana next (on Tuesday) so the damage isn't done yet.
13 Seeds: Bucknell, Valparaiso, Villanova, PLAY IN
Bucknell probably deserves better than this and their resume supports this; however, I think some committee members will look at Lehigh's C.J. McCollum going down with injury and arguing that cleared the path for the Bison. Fair or not, Bucknell can reverse this by winning out, putting them at 25 wins. Sweeping the tournament would then give them 28 wins compared to just five losses. Considering they almost have a top 50 RPI now and an above average SOS, I think there's a good chance they'll be better than a 13-seed come Selection Sunday. Valpo also picked up a nice Bracketbusters win against Eastern Kentucky and if they keep dominating the Horizon like they are, they might see a little bit better seed too.
14 Seeds: Stephen F. Austin, Harvard, South Dakota State, Davidson
The Summit could have been a multi-bid league if South Dakota State and North Dakota State, along with spoiler Western Illinois, had just taken care of business. That chance was blown up when they went a combined 0-3 in Bracketbuster games.
15 Seeds: Stony Brook, Montana, Niagara, Long Beach State
Something to keep an eye on: Niagara is ahead of Loyola (MD) in the MAAC standings, but Loyola has a slim chance of working their way up the RPI standings into at-large contention. The committee stunned many by giving the MAAC two bids last season. I wouldn't be stunned if it happened this year, since I would simply get it over with and keel over dead with shock, but it is something to keep an eye on.
16 Seeds: Robert Morris, Northeastern, PLAY IN x 2
Play In 16: MEAC vs Big South and Southern vs Mercer
So the Big South has two teams tied atop the standings, Charleston Southern and High Point. The funny thing is, both teams have the worst RPI of the entire field and would surely be the lowest-seeded team. Keep an eye on the conference tournament, especially if both make it to the finals since that will be a fantastic scrap between two schools just hoping for an auto-bid, even if it is an extremely short trip in the dance. Similarly, the MEAC has 13-0 Norfolk State and 12-1 North Carolina Central that will also make for good TV if they square off in their league's final.
Play in 12: Cincinnati vs Kentucky*
This is a great matchup between bordering state teams. As to why I dislike the Bearcats these days, well, they've lost five of six and all their losses have come since Christmas. No committee member in their right mind will look at Cincy's 12-0 start against a weak out of conference slate and stand by this team after the mess they have displayed in league play.
Play in 13 St. John's vs Arizona State*
Another matchup of power league teams. The NCAA and Dayton would be thrilled to get schools with the fan bases of these four, especially Cincy and Kentucky being driving distance away, to pack the arena for the "opening round."
*I haven't heard if there is a formal rule against league teams playing in the first four but I would be stunned if the committee pitted two league teams against each other since in the opening round clubs are split. Keeping with that tradition, I have split my final three Big East teams up; as a result Nova and St. John's are seeded a touch lower than they should be.
Final Seven Rationale:
Five slots and more than 20 teams with legit arguments. Here is how I cleaned it up:
With five teams already in the field from the A-10, I decided to remove both Massachusetts and Charlotte from further consideration. Similarly, with two other WCC teams in and BYU losing to both of them, I decided to drop the Cougars. After losing six of eight and two of them offering utterly lifeless performances, I also dumped Baylor. The SEC may be a mess and there is no telling who will be the third (and fourth?) representative, but I did know this: Despite working their way onto the furthest fringe of the bubble, I couldn't justify Arkansas or LSU from moving past the big board. Finally, Iowa's choke job at Nebraska is not what tournament teams do. Seriously, can you think of an NCAA team to blow a 19-point lead to a team as bad as Nebraska and still warrant a bid?
I trimmed a little more fat with the OVC. Despite loving the league and having 20 wins, Murray State's computer numbers are pretty bad. Eastern Kentucky is also getting worrisome for at-large hopefuls (so is New Mexico State and Denver) but they still have plenty of work left.
So, sitting at 12 teams and five spots, I took out my trusty chart and crunched the numbers like this:
**does not include win over Kentucky without Noel
So what does the trusty chart show us? First, that all three Big East teams deserve to be in, even with Nova's loss to Seton Hall recently. The other two teams, that its a lot harder. Southern Miss and Kentucky have the next highest totals, but clearly it is a log jam. In the hopes of more clarity, I turned back to the same chart but removed the Big East trio that joined The Dance:
So in this second round, primarily SEC teams picked up points (other than Boise) so when the committee does this exercise, they'll have to really get into the nitty gritty of these clubs; but let's be honest, the SEC is not getting four teams in. Tennessee has the fewest wins, Ole Miss has the worst schedule and Alabama's performance in the chart game was the worst; this means despite Noel's injury, the Missouri win counteracted it and gets Kentucky in.
This leaves Virginia, Maryland, Southern Miss, Boise State and Arizona State. I think that Virginia and Arizona State's amount of important wins gives them the edge. The fact that ASU's losses are more forgivable (I mean UVA lost to Old Dominion and Delaware this year, yikes) has me more comfortable with Sparky than the Cavs.

The bearded boys of Fleet Foxes have spoken at length about the various difficulties they faced in making their tellingly titled new album. But like the Seattle indie-folk act's 2008 debut, Helplessness Blues doesn't betray much evidence of a slogits lush vocal harmonies and strummy-strum arrangements float out of the speakers like smoke from the end of a clove cigarette. This week, the band hits town for a pair of United Palace gigs sure to showcase those harmonies in all their naturally reverberant glory. Fellow Seattle-ites the Cave Singers (with a dude who used to be in Pretty Girls Make Graves) open both shows.

Review: Virtual Terrorist – 'Cyber Punks Unite'
'Cyber Punks Unite'
Siborg, better known as one half of iVardensphere, is already a well-established musician in the ebm/industrial scene, but under his Virtual Terrorist moniker the gloves come off. With two demos and a free EP under his belt the buzz has slowly spread out from his native Cannada. Now, hot on the heels of the recent single 'Welcome To Cryodyne', comes Virtual Terrorist's début full-length album 'Cyber Punks Unite'.
Virtual Terrorist's sound is an incendiary blend of industrial and ebm full of hard, rapid beats and abrasive synths that, despite the aggressiveness, are still ultimately dance floor compatible. A formula which is probably best summed up on tracks like 'Audio Jihad', 'Scrap Metal Suicide', 'Brothers Of Destruktion', 'Secz Interface', 'The Gridwalkers' and 'Numb'.
The heavy use of samples gives the already dark tracks more sinister edges as the whole album unfolds like the dark side of the internet. As a result this is one of the very few albums affiliating itself with the Cyberpunk genre that actually fits in with it comfortably from a thematic perspective.
What would be more interesting to hear though would be the use of more guest vocalists. There are two appearances to note courtesy of Xero and Psykkle already, and they give the songs a fuller, more complete sound that could easily translate to a couple more songs.
In terms of production, despite the gritty and noisy edge to the Virtual Terrorist sound, the mix is clear and every element is discernible in the chaos which makes it a good album to sit and listen to as well as one to dance to.
For a début that has been self-released this is one impressive effort. The song writing and final execution of the album are beyond reproach and fans of gritty, dancable industrial will no doubt find this a must have.

About Choir of Young Believers
Formed in 2006 by Lake Placid guitarist Jannis Noya Makrigiannis as a solo project, Denmark's Choir of Young Believers rely on a rotating cast of musicians to flesh out their acoustic-based, grandiose indie pop. The Danish/Greek/Indonesian Makrigiannis' myriad influences first appeared on the group's debut EP for the Tigerspring label. Released in 2007, Burn the Flag found success on the Danish charts and was soon re-released nationally to critical acclaim. The band's debut studio long player, This Is for the White in Your Eyes, was issued via Tigerspring in 2008, and was nominated for six Danish Music Awards and won the "Best New Act" category. 2009 saw the band ink a US deal with Ghostly International, who would release their debut stateside later that year. The band's sophomore full-length outing, Rhine Gold, dropped in 2012, followed in 2016 by Grasque, both on the Ghostly label. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
