For Immediate Release
May 27, 2014
Communications Office
CONCORD – In order to help better counsel New Hampshire homeowners at risk of foreclosure, Governor Maggie Hassan announced today that the statewide foreclosure initiative, HomeHelpNH, recently launched an enhanced version of its website, www.HomeHelpNH.org.
"As our economy continues to strengthen and the housing market steadily improves, we must remember that some of our neighbors are still feeling the impact of the recent recession," Governor Hassan said. "In its first year, HomeHelpNH assisted hundreds of middle class families, and this enhanced website will help this innovative public-private initiative continue to strengthen our housing market, communities and economy by providing our citizens with the tools and resources that they need."
In addition to a new, sleeker look and easier navigation, www.HomeHelpNH.org now provides an online intake form so that homeowners can be more easily referred to a housing counselor or, for those who qualify, to free or low-cost legal services in their area. At-risk homeowners can still dial 2-1-1 toll-free from anywhere in the state to receive assistance, and the site's new design is now mobile- and tablet-compatible, making it easier to access for people who rely on their mobile devices for internet access.
In the initiative's first year, HomeHelpNH counselors assisted more than 800 households and provided approximately 5,600 hours of free guidance on mortgage modifications, mortgage document review, credit and budgeting analysis, rental help and legal service referrals for at-risk households. HomeHelpNH helps at-risk homeowners bring their mortgages current, modify their mortgages or sell their properties at short sales, working with homeowners to make an honest and informed evaluation of their current housing and finances in order to help them keep their homes or plan a move to more financially secure housing when necessary.
Sponsored by the New Hampshire Department of Justice, the New Hampshire Banking Department and New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority and funded with $3.5 million from the National Mortgage Servicing Settlement, HomeHelpNH is a three-year, statewide foreclosure counseling initiative that is part of a larger effort, which includes funding for legal services through the New Hampshire Foreclosure Relief Project. The initiative's goal is to help at-risk homeowners find solutions through free, comprehensive pre- and post-foreclosure counseling. Homeowners seeking more information should dial 2-1-1 or go to www.HomeHelpNH.org.
For more information on the HomeHelpNH initiative, please contact Jane Law, Director of Communications, New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority, (603) 310-9255.

On Omaha Beach
Along this narrow stretch of sand, all the painstaking plans for the Normandy invasion fell apart. One of the men who was lucky enough to make it past the beachhead recalls a day of fear, chaos, grief—and triumph.
October/november 1983 | Volume 34, Issue 6
While rough winds were still shaking the darling buds of May, the battalion gave the Dartmoor camp a last policing and entrucked for the Stonewall Brigade's assembly area in Dorset. Watching the trucks roll out the camp gate, I thought that we were as ready as an outfit could be.
The next few days were rare, sunny ones that helped dry Dartmoor dampness from bones and bedrolls. In the evenings the 2d's lanky transportation officer and I found rides to Bournemouth, where we had made friends with an English dowager who organized parties on short notice. The south of England was sealed off; troops were everywhere and every leaf-roofed lane packed with supplies. The air was charged with restrained violence.
I don't recall questioning a frontal assault on prepared defenses from the Channel's unstable base.
Parties ended as the 2d moved again to embarkation ports at Poole and Portland. Gradually the realization grew that no matter how many supplies were accumulated, or how brilliant the planning was, the job would come down heaviest upon the infantry. Rather than self-pity or resentment, this engendered in us what was probably an obnoxious arrogance.
Now came the final operations order, which we pounced on as the Book of Revelation. Here it was, on smudged, mimeographed sheets, with headings, subheadings, subsubheadings, and annexes, stating that we would assault the Easy Green, Dog Red, and Dog White subsectors of the beach, which we learned was dubbed "Omaha." Our three rifle companies would go in abreast, preceded by tanks equipped with flotation devices enabling them to "swim" ashore. Directly behind the rifle companies would come combat engineers to clear beach obstacles, then our heavy weapons, battalion headquarters, and batteries of antiaircraft guns. All was on a split-second schedule, the rifle-company boats to touch down one minute after the tanks. Within thirtv minutes the entire battalion was to be ashore, followed by wave after wave of artillery, engineers, medical units, and amphibious supply trucks. It is unlikely that even under training conditions such a schedule could have been followed; in the actuality, it proved fantasy.
Their defenses seemed impregnable, our attack overwhelming. We felt the odds favored overwhelming.
The veteran 1st Infantry Division commanded the initial assault, and the 116th was attached to it for that phase. Attacking on our left would be 1st Division's 16th Regiment. The Stonewall Brigade's principal objectives were two roads that angle up from the beach to the crest of the bluffs, essential for moving heavy equipment inland. The 2d Battalion was to secure the road up to the village of Les Moulins.
The known difficulties were three separate bands of underwater obstacles, ranging from logs angled into the sand with mines attached to their tips, to steel gatelike structures, and giant iron jackstraws. The exit roads were guarded by concrete bunkers, barbed wire, and mines. The bluffs were zigzagged with fire trenches. An estimated eight hundred to one thousand troops manned this sector, some of them Polish or Russian defectors. Their willingness to fight to the death for the Third Reich was considered doubtful. The closest German counterattack force was believed to be an infantry division about twenty miles inland.
To destroy all this, the Allied command had assembled a force of awesome proportions: fleets of bombers and fighter bombers to saturate all known targets (and incidentally to crater the beach with ready-made foxholes), two battleships, three cruisers, eight destroyers, and rocket-launching craft.
In bare recital the defense was impregnable, the weight of our attack overwhelming. We believed the odds to favor the overwhelming. Some of our young greyhounds maintained that they were going to race across the beach so fast that if they hit any barbed wire, they might spring right back into the Channel. The operations officer, a steady and cheerful presence, vowed to keep up the spirits of his boat team by reciting "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" all the way to the beach, timing the final line with the fall of the ramp.

Disney Princess Magazine Covers
Cover Lurve: Trees ftw! (Part 1)
How do trees on a cover affect the way it looks? Do they make them more readable, more attractive? I think it depends on the individual cover. The follow are four that I really like.
How gorgeous is this cover? I love, love, love how the starkness of it complements the colours. The font used is perfect and I love how they used the darkened silhouette of a person and let all the detail go into the trees. Gorgeous.
Another gorgeous cover. Though it doesn't exactly feature a tree as the primary object, their addition to the cover (and how brilliant is the illustration?) sets up the icy mood perfectly. Look at the details of the animals on the bare branches. This adds on to the malevolent feel of the book and makes me quite excited for the novel.
The tree functions in this cover as the barrier between the normal and the fantastic. The stunted growth of the tree perfectly illustrates how the fantastic has affected its nature. It's all very awesome.
I'm not certain whether Photoshop is involved in the creation of this tree but it is seriously intriguing. Okay, wait, I'm pretty certain it's an illustration but wow. The tree looks both like an angel turned into a tree with its wings stretched or an eagle turned into a tree with its wing stretched. Whatever it is, it packs a big punch and creates a mysterious atmosphere that begs you to pick up the book and read it.

First Impression: Sony AWS750 Anycast Touch Live Content Producer
Sony's new all-in-one portable live production unit could be ideal for portable churches, and any church doing live broadcast and webcasting.
By Michael S. Eddy
August 8, 2013 8:18 am EST
Sony recently invited CPM to the launch of its new Anycast Touch Live Content Producer, an all-in-one live production system. After taking a close look and even getting some hands-on time running the unit, I agree with Sony's belief that it could be an ideal fit for certain house-of-worship applications.The new unit, model AWS750, is an evolution of Sony's Anycast AWS-G500, which was introduced back in 2004. By adding high-definition touchscreen interfaces, that replace the original's dedicated sliders, switches, and encoders, Sony has created a very intuitive and easy-to-use, portable unit for A/V control for live broadcast or webcast applications. The new model builds upon the original system with a user-friendly, portable, flexible, and scalable solution that can produce full HD (1,920x1,080) content with 10-bit processing to produce clear, highly detailed pictures either in SD, HD, or a mix of the two.Looking—and sized—much like a laptop computer, the Anycast Touch unit combines the multiple tools of a live production system into a single unit. It is a video switcher, audio mixer, special effects and character generator, video recorder, image still store, clip player, remote camera controller, real-time streaming encoder, and scale converter. By going with the Anycast Touch system, users can eliminate additional hardware that is typically required for professional live streaming such as encoders, video recorders, audio mixers, titlers, and remote camera controllers. In addition to being a great portable solution, the Anycast Touch could easily be used in a permanent installation.I was invited along with a number of other A/V press to attend a demonstration at Sony's New Jersey headquarters. After a brief run through of the Anycast Touch along with Sony's new NXL-IP55 IP Live Production Unit, which transmits up to four genlocked HD video streams on a LAN, we headed over to a nearby minor league baseball game for live event demonstration. At the ballpark, the Sony team had set up a system with the Anycast Touch and used the Sony NXL-IP55 as an IP transmission device, to tie into two PTZ cameras and the stadium's camera feed. Rather than a simple demonstration, Sony handed over the controls to us. As press we aren't exactly everyone's first choice as A/V production crew, yet each of us in no time at all was seated at the Anycast Touch unit and controlling the cameras, cuts, etc for an inning. It was immediately apparent that the unit is easy to operate and we were quickly able to control the system with little help from the Sony techs. Churches with small tech staffs, and those that rely on volunteers will appreciate the amazingly short learning curve and the fairly immediate ability to be hands-on and live in mere moments after set-up. Considering its size, capabilities and price, it's clear that the new Sony Anycast Touch is a very strong A/V production solution well worth serious consideration.

When my brother was in town a couple of weeks ago, he loaned me a book he thought I would enjoy.
I finished said book this evening, and he was absolutely right.
As my brother had suggested to me, the setting and tone of Michael Rubens' "The Sheriff of Yrnameer" will be a little familiar to fans of Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" books, but I mean that as compliment, not accusation. Rubens' book is original, an American answer to Adams rather than a pale imitation. It's also loads of fun, the story of an intergalactic ne'er-do-well who ends up becoming a hero in spite of himself. There are sly references to everything from "The Wizard of Oz" to "Alien" to "High Noon" and its many imitations and parodies.
It's a fun, breezy read.
I even like the jacket blurb:
A science fiction book your grandmother will love – if she's a lustful, violent lady. – Stephen Colbert

Investment Advisor Gets 3-9 Year Prison Sentence For $2 Million Fraud
Attorney General Spitzer announced today that a Buffalo investment advisor who stole the life savings of his clients -- many of them elderly and widowed -- was sentenced to three-to-nine years in prison for his crime. Spitzer also announced that all of the victims are expected to get back the money that was stolen from them.
Robert Young, 55, was sentenced this morning by Erie County Court Judge Sheila DiTullio for stealing over $2 million from 14 clients, friends, and family members between 1988-97. The victims' losses ranged from $10,000 to $300,000.
Young used part of the money to buy Mount St. Mary's High School in Tonawanda. Young also bought the property surrounding the school and had plans to develop it. The Attorney General's two year investigation also revealed that Young used large amounts of his clients' money for himself.
"This was a horrible crime," said Spitzer. "Young preyed upon those who trusted him and stole their life savings -- the death benefits of a spouse, retirement accounts, money set aside for children and grandchildren -- it was all fair game to him.
"Young is getting exactly what he deserves - prison time, and I'm delighted to say that the victims will be getting what they deserve - restitution of the money that Young stole from them. I'm delighted that we're able to give the victims the good news right before the holidays."
Young, while working at GR Phelps, promised investors a 9% return on their money, claiming the investment was "safe" and "guaranteed." In fact, Spitzer's investigation revealed that the deal was extremely risky and speculative. In addition, Young took money from some clients without their knowledge or consent by forging their signatures.
Of the $2 million in restitution, $1.5 million is coming from GR Phelps, the assets of which were acquired by MML Investors Services, Inc. ("MMLISI"), a MassMutual Company in 1996. Young was fired by GR Phelps in September, 1995 after some 18 years with the company.
"I want to commend MMLISI for stepping up to the plate and doing the right thing here," said Spitzer. "Although Young was never employed by MMLISI, the company was fully cooperative during our investigation and deserves a great deal of credit for working with us on behalf of the victims."
The remaining $500,000 in restitution will come from assets of Young's former corporation. The victims should receive their money within the next few weeks.
The Attorney General noted that other than government bonds, there is no such thing as a "guaranteed" or "risk free" investment. He advised anyone who is approached with such an offer to immediately contact the manager of the investment firm, bank or insurance company whose employee is selling the investment. The public can also contact the Attorney General's office or the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Spitzer also thanked the Securities and Exchange Commission for its help during the investigation. Joining Spitzer at the news conference was the S.E.C.'s Assistant Regional Director, Barry W. Rashkover.
Taking part in the news conference were a number of Young's victims:
The case was handled by Assistant Attorneys General Diane LaVallee and Mary Catherine Baumgarten of the Buffalo Regional Office under the supervision of the chief of the Investor Protection Bureau, Eric Dinallo, and the chief of the Criminal Prosecutions Bureau, Janet Cohn.
- Roslyn Bindeman of Buffalo who lost $50,000 she had received from her husband's death benefit;
- Elizabeth Schmitt of Amherst who lost $50,000;
- Betsy Bandalian and Karl Wittman, whose 87 year old father Frederick of Cheektowaga lost $245,000;
- John Heine of East Amherst who lost $76,000.

This week's chapter is a double bonanza to mark a milestone of the naruto manga. There will be no more chapters released after this for another 1 month.
Title: The Blue dog faction. The 'Key'.
Tsunade: Kakashi, form a 3 cell team with Neji and Naruto.
Tsunade: Take Naruto to Mnt. Myobuki to meet the elder Sage.
Kakashi: !
Tsunade: Take care of him, he is a loved one most dear to me.
Kakashi: You always wanted a son didn't you.
Tsunade: !
Tsunade: I consider him my heir....just make sure he is safe, Akatsuki plan to attack Konoha and Kisame has established a summoning perimetre.
Kakashi: So the risk of intercepting our journey has multiplied?
Tsunade: Kakashi, if anything happens to me my will is to grant Naruto the status of shadow Hokage with you taking on the capacity of the 'active Hokage' untill he finishes training at Myobuki.
Kakashi: Sakura will be dissapointed to be away from Naruto.
Tsunade: Ha ha ha.
Kakashi: Tenzou tells me womanly feelings within her are being stirred, though she is young and confused.
Tsunade: I'd bet my fortune that the princess of the Hyuga will be the one to finnaly break matrimonial Sake with that boy.
Kakashi: Hinata? Then a bet it is...we all know your skills in wager (smirk). Wait?! Why Hinata? What are you planning.
Tsunade: The politics of the Hyuuga are as bloody and tangled as that of Uchiha. Marrying the sole survivor of the all powerfull Namikaze clan who are the quintessential symbol of Konoha, to the Hyuuga will unite the dissident faction of Hyuuga in this time of war.
Kakashi: You will break the heart of Sakura Hano?! Your own pupil.
Tsunade: The Hano clan are the most loyal to Konoha. In politics the least loyal faction get the rewards in order to ensure their loyalty. We are at war.
Tsunade:The loyal get no reward because their support is trully already solidifeid. It is the sick who need a the doctor.
Kakasi: Naruto is stubborn. What if he recinds your order of marraige once you make him shadow Hokage?
Tsunade: Naruto is not stupid. A rescinded marraige will alienate the blue dog faction of Hyuga. It will start a civil war at a time when unity is desired. Even a Namikaze can not fight this war alone.
Kakashi: Very well.
Tsunade:.........Tell naruto I always considered him to be my child and that I am trully sorry for the burden placed on one so spring (*spring means young I think).
Kakashi: Very well. The power of the Namikaze shall be revitalised at Mount Myobuki. A power that even Uchiha and Fuma bend a knee to! But first, I must meet Hanzou.
Tsunade: He's dangerous.
Kakashi: Yet he is the only one alive who has the knowledge to unseal the Kyuubi key the elder sage left here.
Tsunade: Its been ages since we last fought Hanzou, when Jiraiya chan was alive.....
Next Chapter: Danzou's death.

Seriously though, if you can't figure out a way to get the goods into a freaking music festival in California, you probably shouldn't be using.
Most cars have a jack in case of flat tire. Jack usually has some weight to it and a flat on the bottom. This can most likely be used as an effective mallet substitute in a jam......
Do they go through personal bags, Open closed soda cases, check shampoo? Some specifics could help a lot. Thanks for the updates though.
Was VERY easy! And fast! They went through EVERYTHING! Didn't find anything and let me in with a plastic bottle of alcohol...5 minutes tops...
does the beer have to be in the original case or can be already in the cooler already? are they really enforcing the 1 case per person rule?
Are they still filling up camping lot 8 or did they move on to another lot already?
ok they wised up and started putting tent campers closer to entrance first. However I am staying put. If you see a solo tent at the far end come say hi!
Took all tent stakes(plastic and metal)and PVC we had for a shade structure. They said no homemade tents are allowed.

LUBBOCK (AP) - Greg McMackin is leaving the defensive coordinator position at Texas Tech to be associate head coach of defense and linebackers coach for the San Francisco 49ers.
McMackin became the fifth coach to leave Tech's football program in the offseason. Running backs coach Art Briles was named head coach at Houston and will be joined by defensive line coach Mike Harris and graduate assistant Dave Aranda. Harris will be defensive coordinator and defensive line coach. Aranda will coach linebackers.
Tech special teams coach Manny Matsakis was named head coach at Southwest Texas State.
Texas Tech athletic director Gerald Myers said there was not much he could do to keep McMackin.
"I told him he's done a good job, and I enjoyed working with him. But we understood if he got a good opportunity and felt like he couldn't turn it down, he was going to have to take it," Myers said.

Australia recognizes peak oil

Australians guzzle oil while supplies dwindle
Annie Guest, The World Today (ABC)
...ANNIE GUEST: Whether 2006's higher petrol prices have pushed more Australians to walk, cycle or catch public transport remains to be seen.
They should be, according to a Parliamentary inquiry whose participants include Liberal Senator Bill Heffernan and two other Coalition members.
In their interim report tabled today, they urge the Federal Government to plan for imminent declining oil supply.
CHRISTINE MILNE: Australia should be planning for peak oil before 2030.
There is overwhelming evidence that the world is running out of oil and certainly the age of cheap, plentiful, easily accessible oil is over.
ANNIE GUEST: The Australian Greens chaired the inquiry into Australia's oil supply and alternative fuels. One of their representatives, Senator Christine Milne says all members agreed Sweden sets a good example.
CHRISTINE MILNE: Sweden has moved to end its oil dependency by 2020. Australia needs a plan to reduce its dependency on oil.
ANNIE GUEST: The Committee was told significant sections of society have limited capacity to cope with sustained oil prices, and it's contributing to more people losing their homes to bank repossessions.
The report says gas will become Australia's major fuel after oil, and the Government should be encouraging gas infrastructure now.
It recommends significantly increasing the 2010 target of less than one per cent of transport biofuels and found energy challenges must be solved while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Australian Senate recognizes peak oil
Original: Tank low and running on fumes
William Birnbauer, The Age (Australia)
A controversial theory that global oil production will peak within 25 years has been embraced by a Senate committee with the warning: be worried now.
The committee says that, like Sweden, which plans to be oil-free by 2020, Australia should be preparing for an irreversible decline in world oil supplies.
A report released last week by the Senate's rural and regional affairs and transport committee is the first official recognition at a national level of the "peak oil" theory. This suggests that global oil production will peak before 2030, then start declining, with terrible social and economic consequences.
While some energy groups dismiss the theory, saying higher petrol prices will boost exploration, the Senate committee urges immediate steps to plan for the "enormous changes" involved in a future less dependent on oil.

Jonathan Luczycki
Jonathan Edward Luczycki (Lou-ziss-key) was drawing before the age of three years old and started selling sketches of Disney characters while on recess in grade school for a quarter each. This also happened to be the exact cost for chocolate milk in the cafeteria. A talented business man from the start. Academically trained as a professional illustrator, the human figure and portraiture continue to captivate him and he constantly strives to paint them in new and exciting ways. He has been studying anatomy and has been involved in figure drawing classes and workshops on a constant basis for nearly 15 years. While studying at illustration & fine arts at Laguna College of Art & Design, he learned the techniques of the masters who understood the importance of working in natural light and from direct observation of the model. Jonathan has had several solo and group shows along the west coast since 2002, from Portland, Oregon to Laguna Beach, Hollywood and downtown L.A. Since 2005 he has built relationships with collectors on a national and international scale. His paintings are in private collections across the country, as well as in collections in Mexico City, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Canada, Tokyo, Germany, Australia, and Paris. He resides and works out of his studio in Costa Mesa, CA painting landscapes by day and portraits by night.
Artist Statement
At a very young age I devoted my life to the arts and have always been fascinated with the art of picture making. I was not born with the ability to paint and draw like this. It is something that has slowly developed over a long course of time through hard work, education and dedication. Since graduation from Laguna College of Art & Design in 2007, up until now, spring of 2012, I had painted outdoors nearly everyday advancing at my craft. Studying the plein air movement and traveling to paint at the sames viewpoints of the legendary Edgar Payne and William Wendt in addition to studio work helps keep me well rounded as an artist. My motivation and dream is to paint in every continent. I love drawing & painting, it is all I ever want to do, and I couldn't imagine living a life without art.

11 August 2008
Compared to the tooth-shattering badness of Jason Takes Manhattan and The Dream Child, Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers is practically a respectable movie, practically. Following hard upon the solid Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (it should be noted both films contain roughly equal amounts of returning and revenging) by just a year - the shortest gap between Halloween films ever - H5 continues that film's story in a reasonably convincing way, bringing back the single element that most contributed to its immediate predecessor's success, namely eleven-year-old Danielle Harris as Jamie Lloyd, Michael Myers's strange little niece. (Michael himself, in this entry, is played by Donald L. Shanks, yet another stuntman who's just not capable of the elemental menace Nick Castle brought to the role in Halloween, 11 years prior. Despite this, it's by far the worst Halloween film yet, completing the transition to full-fledged brainless slasherdom begun in Halloween 4 at at time when the brainless slasher film was at its very worst, hitting at all the expected notes: ill-defined, poorly-acted characters who don't get names until halfway through the film, a tremendously unimaginative sex scene, toothless gore, a full twenty minutes of unabashed padding right in the middle, and worst of all it looks lousy.
That had always been the saving grace of the Halloween films, for my money. The first three were shot by Dean Cundey, one of the most gifted cinematographers who ever set foot on a slasher set; the fourth was shot by Peter Lyons Collister in the very best mock-Cundey he could manage. This episode was shot by Robert Draper, whose subsequent career is littered with made-for-TV movies, and while his work on Halloween 5 could scarcely be called incompetent, it's undeniably slick and empty, lit to make sure we see everything rather than to add anything like "mood" to the proceedings. It's the same exact look that the Friday the 13th series had been trafficking in since at least the fourth entry, and thus it's one of the chief reasons that one can never quite shake the feeling that Halloween 5 owes a lot more to that franchise than to the reasonably tolerable films that it followed.
First impressions being lasting impressions, it's telling that the movie opens with a tremendously bland credits sequence (where, incidentally, no subtitle is given), jumping back and forth from title cards to quick images of a knife cutting through something moist with comically overdone slashing noises - you know, that whooshing metallic noise that blades make in bad movies. Eventually, it's clear that we're watching somebody hacking the shit out of a pumpkin. This only underscores the degree to which this sequence is everything that the opening credits in Halloween are not.
The film opens with some footage from Halloween 4 (see? Shades of F13...), of Jamie and Rachel (Ellie Cornell) escaping from Haddonfield, finding Michael has hitched a ride, ending in a secluded field where he gets shot and falls into a well of some kind. Except, now we learn that it was no well at all, but the boarded-up entrance to a mine, and Michael is able to crawl out to find a storm drain leading into a rushing river in a canyon or ravine of some sort. This is all still happening in Illinois. He eventually stumbles to a rickety cabin where an old hermit (Harper Roisman, credited as "Mountain Man" - this is all still happening in Illinois) takes him in and nurses him to health.
One year later, on October 30, 1989, we rejoin Jamie at the Haddonfield Children's Clinic, where she wakes up from a Michael-themed nightmare, screaming mutely. Apparently, she hasn't spoken ever since that fateful night when she stabbed her adopted mother under the influence of her Myers blood. The film goes out of its way to piss me off by making it very clear that Mrs. Lloyd is alive and well, invalidating everything that made the end of the preceding film so unnerving and effective, although I guess the old Incredulity Alarm would be going off is we were supposed to think that Jamie was a killer who wasn't being kept in a secure facility. Relucantly, I'll let this slide - we never saw her dead mom in the last one, anyway.
Hardly have we taken this all in when Michael wakes up in that shack, and kills the mountain man by bringing some kind of large object down upon his head. Jamie witnesses this though a psychic link that was vaguely hinted at last time, and starts flipping out, going into some kind of attack that needs to be fixed surgically (your guess is as good as mine, but just as her doctors are about to put her under...
...Dr. Sam Loomis appears from absolutely nowhere and puts a stop to it. Still played by Donald Pleasence, who seems far more than just one year wheezier and more tired than he did last time, Loomis does his Crazy Prophet shtick, indicating that if only Jamie is left alone for a moment, she'll be fine, and she can help him find out what Michael is up to. Astoundingly, this works.
On the morning of the 31st, Jamie and Rachel share a little moment that is absolutely the only indication that the new writers - Michael Jacobs, Shem Bitterman and director Dominique Othenin-Girard) - even noticed how important the relationship between those two was to the success of the preceding film. It's interrupted by the arrival of the Lloyd's dog and Rachel's friend Tina (Wendy Kaplan), who has a personality somewhere between a frat boy and a rodeo clown. It takes all of ten seconds for us to decide that we absolutely fucking hate Tina; we don't learn her name for about five minutes. Loomis comes in and censures the girls for not being sufficiently glum, when a threatening note is thrown through the window, tied to a stone.
Back at the Lloyd's place (the first act hops about horribly, without giving us any real sense of time passing), Rachel is getting ready to go away for a couple days with her parents, who sensibly decided to get out of Haddonfield for Halloween, and decided - idiotically or very sensibly indeed, depending on your view - to leave Jamie. Michael stalks her a bit, doing that vanishing/appearing thing he did so well in the first movie, only her it seems clumsy and moronic, much like the "teleporting Jason" scene in Jason Takes Manhattan. Long story short, she's in the shower when Loomis calls to warn her that Jamie's agitated crayon drawing indicate (allegedly) that Michael is in the house, and she runs out to the front yard in one of those horror movie towels that never budges an inch. As she gets outside, Deputy Nick (Frank Como) and Deputy Tom (David Ursin) arrive; though in all my notes, I only ever referred to them as the Goofy Cops, replete with a Goofy Cop Theme Song, which I swear to God includes a calliope sting.
Back at the clinic - see what I mean about hopping? - Loomis and Jamie's crazy time is interrupted by Billy (Jeffery Landman, who is unspeakably bad - this was his single film credit in a career spent mostly onstage, where he is active even to this day), her little boyfriend at the clinic who suffers from an unspecified ailment. Billy is present basically just so that somebody can react to Loomis's shtick and Jamie's spasms when she sees Michael kill Rachel (series producer Moustapha Akkad allegedly regretted this killing later, but at the time justified it by showing how nobody is safe).
Tina pokes her head into the Lloyd house, looking for Rachel; she instead finds Sammy (Tamara Glynn), who despite having the requisite androgynous name will not be our Final Girl; that role is plainly allocated to Tina already, despite the subsequent conversation which finds Tina and Sammy joking at stealing Rachel's sheets to have sex on them. If I had to encapsulate all that is awful about Halloween 5, I think I might nominate this scene: a girl we presumably like from the preceding film, and whose death theoretically bothers us, has just been killed in the same house where two other girls are wandering around without any thought of danger, and they make jokes about fucking on the dead girl's linens. I hate Sammy almost as much as I hate Tina.
Outside, Tina and Sammy get a ride with Tina's boyfriend Mikey (Jonathan Chapin) to pick up supplies for that night's party at The Tower Farm, which is extraordinarily less cool when we see it than it sounds right now. Mikey and Tina joke about all the sex they have in that car, giving us a rare sight indeed: a non-virginal Final Girl! Although the degree to which she isn't punished for having sex is a bit hard to parse out - I've no idea if she's alive or dead when the movie finally stalls to a close. This is the point in my notes, by the by, where I wrote "IT"S SO FUCKING GREEN." in reference to the film's bold continuation of the series' tradition of making autumnal Illinois look exactly like a California summer (which I hadn't noticed in Halloween 4), although at least this time the cars all have Illinois plates.
Back at the theoretical A-plot - though God knows, the film's myopic focus on randy teen makes it hard to tell - Jamie is chased through the clinic by a janitor dressed just like Michael. Loomis, meanwhile, makes his seemingly annual pilgrimage to the Myers house to wait for Michael to not show up, although he does just miss the mysterious man in black wandering around town freaking people out. While at the house, Loomis is treated to one of the shittiest fake scares I've ever seen: a spring-loaded dead opossum.
Whew! That was too much time spent with the series mythology, don't you think? Back to the kids, then, where Sammy's boyfriend Spitz (Matthew Walker) is stealing some beer from the convenience store where he works, all for the party at The Tower Farm. The girls wander off to get ready, while Spitz goes back to work and Mikey notices the tall guy in a white mask (that looks nothing like it dead in the previous movies. Other than being all white) scratching his car with a garden fork. A couple of second later, he does the same to Mikey. I might point out, Michael Myers was always a knife guy, and the giant psycho killer who favored gardening tools was in fact Jason Voorhees; again, we are confronted with the unavoidable fact that Halloween 5 has an unsightly desire to be a Friday the 13th movie, as though such a desire could be anything other than unsightly.
So, this is where the padding that I mentioned kicks in. No, all that part I just recapped was not the padding. It was the exposition. I told you this was the worst Halloween film. The padding consists of the Halloween party at the clinic, where Jame is a sad little ballerina princess and Billy is a pirate trying to make it with the ballerina princess. It also consists of a tortured sequence in which Tina (dressed as some kind of harlequin dominatrix vampire) gets in the car with Michael - whose name is the same as her boyfriend! And if you think that means that hijinks ensue, well, pat yourself on the back, friend! Tina is saved because of Jamie's visions, and Jamie finally can talk again, and then Jamie won't fucking stop talking, and Loomis wanders around the clinic talking about how Michael can only be stopped if Jamie helps him (at this point, bear in mind, there is no reason, other than Jamie's attacks, for the characters to believe that Michael isn't rotting in a mine shaft). Eventually, we get to The Tower Farm, which is a suburban house with straw all over the floor, and a barn out back roughly the size of the Pentagon. After some unspeakably horrible comic relief involving the Goofy Cops, Sammy and Spitz (my word, they sound like a middleweight vaudeville team), head off into the barn to have sex. And very vigorous sex it is, though preceded by several minutes of fake stalking, and apparently it hurts Spitz a great deal to put on a condom, given his giant wince, but at least he wears a condom. Practice safe sex, kids.
Despite the complete lack of motive for Michael to be anywhere near this, he is of course, and he stabs Spitz in the back during the Act Itself, in an effect that Friday the 13th, Part 2 stole from Twitch of the Death Nerve, done at its lamest. Sam follows after a noble but feeble fight, and thus begins the Final Girl sequence, with a generous 34 minutes left in the film.
Except, it doesn't. After some eight minutes of the expected running-around, during which time Jamie and Billy and Loomis all end up at The Tower Farm, and during which time there's a tremendously stupid chase with Tina running through the woods with Michael driving after her in a car, hitting stuff and blowing up the car (it's one bossa-nova track away from being the finale to a British sex farce from the '60s), Tina gets stabbed in the shoulder, the kids hide, Loomis finds them, and Michael disappears. Ye gods, it was a false Final Girl sequence! That, I have truly never seen, and it sets up the one truly effective part of the whole movie: Loomis browbeats Jamie into helping him catch Michael, and after a little bit of dithering and some pointless time-wasting scenes involving the local cops, Jamie ends up as the film's second Final Girl, by far the youngest I'm aware of, and she gets a chase sequence that's genuinely thrilling for a few minutes, as she hides in a laundry chute that Michael is trying to cut apart.
In a film of such tremendous idiocy, such quality cannot last, and the resolution of the sequence feels a bit redolent of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. That's peanuts compared to the last scene of the film, a bizarre twist that brings back the man in black we'd all forgotten about to blow up the police station where Michael is being kept before he can be transferred to a maximum security facility. The film ends with Jamie standing in the ruined wreck of the station, crying "no!" and giving us a thousand-yard stare into the inevitable sequel...
Which, thanks to this film's tremendously lame box office - it remains the lowest-grossing of the series, the only one that couldn't even double its production costs - wouldn't show up for six years, the same gap of time separating Season of the Witch from The Return of Michael Myers, and believe it or not, longer than the gap between any of the films that have come out since. And when Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers finally found its way to theatres, the slasher subgenre was in the midst of its all-time lowest ebb - but that is a story for another time.
Body Count: So, there are Body Count Deaths and there are body count deaths, and the eight cops that die in one swoop at the end oughtn't count. There are nine proper deaths, and it's not at all clear if Tina is dead or not, so let's leave her alive and go with a very misleading 17 killings, plus a dog.

I'm really insanely happy that you devote some of your considerable gifts to films that many snobbish film bloggers wouldn't even bother mentioning. Your Summer of Blood series is my favorite thing on the net right now.
- Tim said...
Thanks much for the compliment, and if I can be totally arrogant for a moment, the whole project started because I once thought to myself "Why don't any smart critics actually engage with the incredibly huge slasher genre. Hey, I'm a smart critic!"
I do honestly think it's disgraceful, that the subgenre which utterly defined the 1980s should be completely ignored by Respectable Scholars.

Thanks, great review. This, I think, is the first Halloween film that doesn't even pretend its teenage cast are anything other than expendable meat. But I do think it is a little less green - like its immediate predecessor, it was filmed in Utah.

I hold this film dear in my heart for this reason: it's bad film with a lot of great moments. The final scene at the police station is one of my favorite scenes in any movie ever; it is seriously up there with the opening of Once Upon a Time in the West for me (credibility, where're you going?).
Danielle Harris' chilling delivery of the line, "He'll never die," as well as her hopeless cries of "No!" at the end (I love the reverb on it as the scene cuts to black, by the way); the slow, methodical camera movement as Jamie walks in and through the police station; the gruesome scene at said police station, which is somewhat reminiscent of the scene of Lecter's escape in The Silence of the Lambs; the minimal editing; the low-key lighting; and the ambient score by Alan Howarth - who does not get enough credit for why Halloween 4 and bits of Halloween 5 work so well: all of this adds up to a scene that just does wonders for me.
Now, I will admit that this scene, in or out of context, makes fuck-all sense. But it's Halloween 5, does it really have to?

WORLD CUP 2014: Great Things Come In Small Packages
Penny Watkins, Special to The Informer | 2/20/2014, noon
If Wayne Rooney hits top form and Steven Gerrard dictates the play from midfield, then England have a strong nucleus to build upon and make a strong challenge for the World Cup.
The Underdogs
As a current theme which runs throughout every sport, everyone loves an underdog. Nations who are unfancied to do well can often sneak under the radar and build momentum upon beating stronger teams and getting the local supporters behind them. These nations are often where the big money is found when betting on the World Cup, as their odds are considerably bigger than the favorites and it is not beyond all possibility that an unlikely team emerges from the pack to win the tournament.
Belgium are seen as serious dark horses, with a squad blessed with world class players within a new generation that has emerged in recent years. Unlike some underdogs who may rely on one or two secret weapons to deliver the goods, Belgium looks extremely strong in all areas of the pitch; while their squad may be the youngest to participate in the 2014 World Cup, they stand as good a chance as any nation to upset the odds and dethrone current champions Spain. Not only does their under-19 and under-21 teams illustrate the considerable rise in quality in Belgian football, but their current national team oozes class.
Thibault Courtois, Vicent Kompany and Eden Hazard are but three star players that are set to excel in Brazil, particularly the latter who is currently in the form of his life at Chelsea.

1.) Given A and B are both hermitian operators,
a.) Prove the product will be hermitian only if and commute
b.) Prove is hermitian.
2.) Through the use of dirac notation, prove the eigenstates of a hermitian operator that belong to 2 different eigenvalues are orthogonal
So let's take any two Hermitian operators A and B and any two arbitrary kets . (Please note that are not being taken as eigenkets of A or B.)
(since [A, B] = 0)
If you don't require quite this amount of formality, then
will do just fine.
Part b) of this is easy. Just let C = A + B. Since A and B are Hermitian, so is C. Obviously C commutes with itself, so we know that is Hermitian by the theorem in 1a). Now, and C obviously commute, thus etc.
First we show that the eigenvalues of A are real. (If you have already proven this, then just skip to the next part.)
We have
(since is real.)
Thus for all c.
So to prove the theorem consider
But the eigenvalues of a Hermitian operator are real, thus
So either b - a = 0, which is not possible according to assumption, or .
VERY thorough and helpful as usual. I'm grateful that this site has someone good at both physics and math to help with these! The answers will very clear. Thanks.
I have an exam next week, and I plan to study this weekend, so I'll probably have more questions if you have time. Thanks again.

Turns Out Anna Wintour May Be Cramping Robbie Myers's Style
She allegedly requested all of the resort shows Robbie finds to be a bit of a nuisance.
Elle editor Robbie Myers bemoaned the proliferation of full-on sit-down resort shows for the 2011 season since they interfere with her work schedule. But Wall Street Journal writer Christina Binkley tweeted, "Wondered why 'resort' is a big runway show season this year. Just heard Anna Wintour asked for them." Fashion's Night Out, Resort's Season Out — fashion, fashion everywhere for Anna! [Fashionologie]

The Law & Order franchise is like crack to my mother. The original series, SVU, Criminal Intent, she just can't get enough. This video shows a bunch of dogs that share her passion for crime programs.
OK, honestly I don't know enough about dogs to know whether the pooches love or hate the adventures of these American detectives. But I do know that once that iconic theme music starts, the dogs take notice.
It seems these canines aren't the only ones either. A YouTube search reveals plenty of pups who go loopy for Law & Order. If only they could talk and I could ask them what's going on!

The latest issue of the Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics systematically reviewed the epidemiology, diagnosis and screening, clinical characteristics and response to anti-viral therapy of Asians with chronic Hepatitis C.
Chronic hepatitis C infection is a risk factor for both the development of end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Globally, approximately 170 million people are chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV), and the majority of these individuals come from the western Pacific and Southeast Asia regions.
Chronic Hepatitis C is an understudied and underappreciated health problem in many Asian countries and in the US, where Asians represent one of the fastest growing groups of new Americans. Drs Nguyen and Nguyen from California, USA performed a systematic review of the current literature on the epidemiology, diagnosis and screening, clinical characteristics and response to anti-viral therapy of Asians with chronic HCV.
Using a PubMed search of hepatitis C and Asia, 341 original manuscripts published in peer-reviewed journals were identified, and 99 were selected based on their relevance. The research team report that many Asian chronic Hepatitis C patients do not have easily identifiable risk factors, and may be underdiagnosed.
Rates of HCV infection in Asians on community screening in the US are unexpectedly high, and there is a high prevalence of HCV genotype 6 in Southeast Asia and Southern China.
The team found that HCV-infected Asians tend to present at older age, and may have higher risk of hepatocellular carcinoma.
However, the researchers observed that they respond better to anti-viral therapy than non-Asians across all HCV genotypes. Dr Nguyen's team commented, "Given the high HCV endemicity in Asia, lack of identifiable risk factors and favorable treatment response rates in Asians, we advocate the screening for HCV infection of all Asians who come from areas where HCV prevalence is 2% or more."

Stacy Keibler Weds Boyfriend Jared Pobre Less Than A Year After Split From George Clooney
Less than a year after splitting from Hollywood A-lister George Clooney, actress/model Stacy Keibler has tied the knot.
The former WWE wrestler married boyfriend Jared Pobre, a tech entrepreneur, in a private ceremony in Mexico on Saturday.
Stacy Keibler has married Jared Pobre.
The couple began dating in late 2013, but have been friends for over five years, according to People magazine.
"My happiness is indescribable!" Keibler told the magazine. "Marriage is the ultimate bond of love and friendship. It means putting all your faith and trust into a person that you can't help but believe is your soul mate. Someone who has all of your best interests at heart; someone handpicked for you, to help you grow and be the best person that you can be.
"Jared is all of this for me."
A handful of family members accompanied the couple on their vacation and were reportedly surprised when the couple wed, something they had planned for some time in secret.
"We both felt strongly that our 'love day' should be intimately special, and that's exactly what it was," the couple said in a statement. "It was a blend of romance, tranquility, natural beauty, bonding and overwhelming love."
This is the first marriage for Pobre, 39, and Keibler, 34.
Keibler dated Clooney for two years before the two split last July.

19 Die In AZ Wildfire
YARNELL, Ariz. (AP) — As a raging Arizona wildfire was killing 19 members of an elite crew of firefighters, some residents who evacuated small towns near the blaze huddled in shelters and bars, watching their own homes burn on TV. The deaths of the Hotshot crewmembers cast an additional pall over the state and drew condolences from President Barack Obama and others.

I am delighted to be editing, with my colleague Dr. Fiona Cowdell (RN), our inaugural international issue of the Journal of the Dermatology Nurses' Association (JDNA). In this special issue, you will gain an insight into dermatology nursing across the globe, with contributions from various continents. Internationalization is a key issue in healthcare, which will have an increasing impact on our clinical field. The future development of dermatology nursing will be shaped by global influences, cross-cultural exchange, and a sharing of developments in practice and research advances. The primary aim of this issue is to raise awareness of some of the issues facing dermatology nursing worldwide and, in doing so, act as a catalyst to promote collaboration and support to prepare us better for the current and future health challenges we face.
The JDNA is a young journal in its formative period that is striving to be outward looking, highlighting new perspectives and opportunities. In this issue, we examine opportunities to meet the needs for dermatology care and the promotion of skin health worldwide. This requires an open-minded perspective, stimulating learning from other cultures on how we may best respond to these challenges, whether in resource-rich or resource-poor countries.
This issue is timely given the recent announcement that the World Congress of Dermatology (WCD), which is held every 4–5 years, will take place in North America in 2015. This will be hosted in Vancouver where the immediate past president of the DNA, Nina MacDonald, is based and presents a key opportunity for the DNA to prepare for this global event. The International Skin Care Nursing Group (ISNG; www.isng.co.uk) is the nursing affiliate to the global dermatology organization that hosts and coordinates the WCD—namely, the International League of Dermatological Societies. The ISNG has organized the last three nursing scientific meetings at Congress; the first of which I chaired in Paris, followed by one in Buenos Ares, Argentina, and then last year, a meeting was held in Seoul, South Korea. The ISNG is a global nonprofit organization. For the last 12 years, ISNG has promoted awareness of dermatology nursing and skin health worldwide and the key role that nurses play, both in developed and resource-poor economies. It does this partly through creating educational opportunities for nurses at low cost. We also help to support national groups through partnership working or, as is often the case, dermatology nurses isolated in countries without any membership organization to connect with global audiences. The ISNG promotes educational opportunities at often-established international events that raise the profile of dermatology nursing and its development worldwide. The WCD provides an excellent opportunity for the DNA, as well as for the Canadian Dermatology Association that is hosting this event, to work with ISNG to develop an excellent meeting within an international forum, with good representation from North America.
In this special issue, a number of ISNG and DNA leaders and supporters have shared their experiences of international work. Pat Kelly highlights the importance of community dermatology care in resource-poor continents, such as Africa, and the significant achievements being made to cascade dermatology nursing expertise across Africa. This also illustrates an important care delivery model for our specialty with dermatology departments supporting primary care delivery (Ersser et al., 2011). Dr. Vineet Kaur is an Indian dermatologist who, through ISNG, has led the development of the concept of dermatology nursing and the awareness of the valuable role that nurses can play within any dermatological service among Indian dermatologists. Jill Brooks, an expert in tropical disease nursing and tissue viability, reveals the clinical challenges of working in countries such as Uganda and the need for using simple innovative technologies to enable simple skin care, such as washing with clean water, to take place.
This special edition also includes several contributions from ISNG leaders working in Europe. Barbara Page from Scotland reports on the efforts made by nurses in Europe to create a nursing presence and educational opportunities within the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology. Rebecca Penzer, the editor of the UK journal, Dermatological Nursing, discusses her role as a clinical nurse specialist in dermatology within United Kingdom.
Finally, and closer to home, we look both back and forward. Noreen Nicol, a well-known DNA past president, provides her reflections on the role the DNA has played in the development of dermatology nursing in North America and her involvement in ISNG for over a decade. Nina MacDonald, DNA's immediate past president, casts us to the future in highlighting the exciting international collaborative opportunity provided by the Vancouver-based World Congress in 2015 (www.derm2015.org/home.html).
I hope you will enjoy the challenge this issue brings—to reflect on what we can all learn from international engagement and different cultural perspectives. We also hope that this special edition will inspire you to reach out to dermatology nurses worldwide and promote greater global exchange within the dermatology field. I do believe that this special issue represents another small but significant milestone in the international development of dermatology nursing.

Take your system to be the spaceship of mass M. The explosion adds no net external forces on the mass. Thus we know that, since the spaceship was initially at rest:
0 = m1*v1 + m2*v2 <-- v1 and v2 are velocities and hence vectors
Now mechanical energy is NOT conserved, but we DO know how much kinetic energy was put into the system: E.
Since there was no initial kinetic energy to the system we know that the energy added by the explosion is equal to the kinetic energy of the pieces:
E = (1/2)m1*v1^2 + (1/2)m2*v2^2
So. From the momentum equation we get:
v2 = -(m1/m2)*v1
E = (1/2)m1*v1^2 + (1/2)m2*(m1/m2)^2*v1^2
E = (1/2)[m1 + m1^2/m2]*v1^2
E = (m1*m2+m1^2)/(2*m2)*v1^2
v1 = sqrt{(2*E*m2)/(m1^2 + m1*m2)}
Thus v2 = -(m1/m2)*sqrt{(2*E*m2)/(m1^2 + m1*m2)}
v1 + v2 = [1 - m1/m2]*sqrt{(2*E*m2)/(m1^2 + m1*m2)}
v1 + v2 = [(m2 - m1)/m2]*sqrt{(2*E*m2)/(m1^2 + m1*m2)}
Something I haven't mentioned yet, but should be obvious: M = m1 + m2 (we aren't relativistic here, presumably.)
Now, what bothers me here is the "minimum relative speed" of the particles. Written as it is in the question this is v1 + v2 where v1 and v2 are vectors. This makes sense, except that v1 + v2 is a relative velocity, not a relative speed. BUT the minimum relative velocity of the particles should be 0: if the explosion is perfectly symmetric m1 = m2 and the particles will have equal speeds. In fact, if you look at the equation I derived for v1 + v2 you will see that if m1 = m2, v1 + v2 is indeed 0.
I am suspecting the question is asking for something else, but I can't figure out what it is.

So the wife came to me yesterday and asked if I wanted to go fishing. I was thinking is this some kind of trap? She said that she wanted to take the canoe out so I thought why not?
First went out to launch at bear point but because of the construction still going on out there the small amount of parking that they did leave us was jammed up with lots of people, so I decided to launch a little further down the river. We were out at around 2pm and it was almost a dead high tide. The wife put on some live shrimp under a cork and missed a decent snook (I witnessed it inhale the shrimp next to the boat) it wasnt long and she had two jacks in the boat, one probably close to 5 pounds. At this point I hadnt had a bite!
We paddled up to some mangroves and I started pitching the shrimp underneath them. I got a small snook into the boat in no time.
Then maybe around 4ish there was bait getting blown up on left and right. I couldnt see what was hitting them though and they werent taking anything I was throwing at them ( cal's, mirro's, you name it) I watched a slot sized snook clear out of the water after the bait. This is when it hit me I needed to put on a topwater. After tying on a spook jr. I had 2 ladyfish in the boat in no time. The sun started setting and the wife said she was getting bit up by the mosquitos so we started paddling back.
Thats when I spotted a pack of glass minnows and decided why not throw the top water on top of em? As soon as I did, the water exploded. Drag started getting peeled off and I thought I was into a nice snook, sure enough when I got the fish closer it was a nice gator trout. He hit the spook so hard he broke one of the hooks! All in all turned out to be a great day!

Oregon Ducks National Champions?

Oregon Ducks National Champions?
If all 3 unbeaten teams remain unbeaten this will be another NCAA football NCG quagmire. Even if that happens aand Alab wins SEC championship there is a real possibility on strength of schedule that Alab may end up in NCG.
You heard it here 1st Derick Dooley is done at Univ Tenn let the coaching musical chairs ensue.
Nope. Bama cannot leapfrog any of the current unbeatens. Two of them have to lose. Sorry SEC fans, that's just life.
But in the BCS weighting, SOS won't be enough to put them over the top, because the human polls will not move a one-loss SEC team over the undefeated three.
I dont see how you can say that Skylab, im not proposing that alabama or georgia WILL be in the NCG, im just saying that i believe there to be a pretty high chance of that happening. I think that who ever wins the SEC championship has a solid chance of fighting their way back into the mix.
my guess is that the NCG will be Oregon and whoever wins the SEC championship. the BCS's job isnt to pick the two best undefeated teams to play each other in the NCG, its to pick the two best teams in the country, and i dont think you can honestly say that K State or notre dame are better than georgia or bama.
though it could also be wishful thinking on my part. the ducks have to beat an SEC team in the NCG to get respect, beating up on K State would get us nothing
Read my post above. The SOS component of the computer models that are part of the BCS formula are not enough to make up the difference in W-L records combined with the fact that the SEC champion will not leapfrog the unbeatens in the human polls. Now, you can try to argue that maybe the SEC champ WILL leapfrog one of the current unbeatens in the human polls, but history isn't on your side.
And we are not talking about Boise State here. Some of you are trying to suggest that a one loss SEC champ would jump over an undefeated PAC-12 or Big-12 team. That's not reasonable, at all. The SEC is not THAT great this Q. SEE: FLA-ULLAF ;)
haha fair enough, we will just have to wait and see, oregon could lose to stanford this weekend, k state could lose to texas, and ND could lose to USC...college football gets crazy at the end of the season :P
Indeed! And just so it's clear, I think the SEC winner will for SURE jump any of the current unbeatens if they lose. There is no doubt there.
Oregon has a brutal remaining schedule. If they come through that undefeated, it will be impressive.
Agreed on that point, i think we'll get enough of a boost in the computers from those two game, not to mention the championship game, to take number 1 overall from K State. i dont even think theres a question there.
I still think that a 1 loss bama or georgia hot off the sec championship game, could overtake ND for 3rd in the human polls, and their SoS could boost them past K State into the NCG, but we will have to wait and see, its not too much longer
Have you actually looked at the remaining schedules of these teams?
Georgia plays Georgia Southern (FCS) and Georgia Tech (mediocre), then presumably ALA
Alabama plays W. Carolina (FCS) and Auburn (awful), then presumably UGA
KSU plays Baylor (mediocre) and Texas (#15)
ND plays Wake Forest (awful) and USC (#18)
Oregon will play three top 25 teams in a row, including the PAC12 title game.
So, prior to the SEC title game, Bama and UGA's SOS will go DOWN, not up. The SEC title game alone isn't going to be nearly enough to bounce their SOS over the undefeateds (if they don't lose), given the schedules of the others.
The team that will be bitching the most will be ND - they could very well go undefeated and not play in the NCG. But the idea of an undefeated ND playing the SEC winner is kind of enticing ;)
The plan ahead
Tennessee is expected to seek its fourth head football coach since 2008 by season's end, numerous sources have told VolQuest.com, and based on conversations with multiple people the final piece of the equation centers on when to formally signal the imminent end of the three-year Derek Dooley era. The question at this point seems only to be when and not if Tennessee will make a change following a disturbing 51-48, four-overtime loss Saturday afternoon to Missouri inside Neyland Stadium
This is the original piece now it is up on SI's website as well.
I grew up in Tennessee and I hope the Vols can get it back together and become part of the SEC elite again.
