No surprise, Rich Rod didn't make the cut.
August 21st, 2012 at 8:23 AM ^
Maybe it is just too early for me to understand your nonsense and irrelevant comment.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:31 AM ^
If it's still too soon, I suggest counselling.
August 21st, 2012 at 12:28 PM ^
It is virtually always somebody who wants to trash Coach Rodriguez.
Don't for a moment think that there is a cadre of people just dying to talk about Rodriguez and nothing else. You see me responding to these things. You almost never see me starting them.
I'd just like to prevent people like some that I see on this thread from making asses out of themselves with the stupid stuff we hear being said and written about Rodriguez. Makes the rest of Michigan fans look bad when the stupid ones may be seen as representative. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. A paraphrase of Newton's Third Law.
Now, as for the OP and the List; it is strange, to say the least. I would have guessed the Maxwell Club Coach of the Year would be on it, particularly insofar as his staff is so well-regarded, and so clearly shares in the success. This was about "staffs."
Why Texas? Mack Brown is a great recruiter in a recruit-rich state, who has become a notorious under-acheiver.
Why Va. Tech? Even Hokies fans arenn't all that enamored of Frank Beamer.
Why Ohio State? On paper, it looks like a great staff. But they don't have a single game under the belt(s) yet as a group. What is there to go on?
Craptastic list.
August 21st, 2012 at 10:15 AM ^
Wish I could upvote you more past 5. Best response I heard in a while. Succint and hit the nail on the head.

When RR gets the five years that Bo himself used to say every coach needed to fully install his system and fill his depth chart with the right kind of players, you might see him in the top ten. RR now has the same luxury, at least staff-wise, that Brady Hoke has: a school that paid enough for him to bring his favorite DC along.
In four years, he will have the other luxury that Hoke had last year: a roster full of upperclassmen assembled by RR. Brady Hoke did a great job last year, but he wasn't exactly walking into a "cupboard is bare" scenario, and he did get somewhere around twice as much money to pay a DC.
I'm trying to figure out why there are neanderthals in the fanbase who still have to make it a "Hoke vs RR" scenario, when neither coach would even bother with it themselves. Both are very good coaches with different strengths and weaknesses.
Why can't people just be happy with Hoke instead of whining and complaining about RR?
August 21st, 2012 at 11:52 AM ^
Lose big in year one was unacceptable to the Michigan fan base. Even Bo won a conference championship in his first season. We were all excited about the RR hire but he burned a few bridges by not embracing who he had on the roster. For example, Steve Threet should never have been asked to run a spread option.
August 21st, 2012 at 12:15 PM ^
Steven Threet wasn't a good quarterback in a pro style offense 2 years later, so I don't know why you think the spread was the problem. Threet's problem was accuracy, and that wasn't the fault of the offense.
Threet should never have needed to be asked to run any offense as a redshirt freshman. That was the problem. Signs point more to Threet just not being a great quarterback in any offense, not just the spread
August 21st, 2012 at 1:17 PM ^
I agree that steve threet shouldn't have been forced into playing time in '08 but running a pro style offense would have suited his abilities much more than a spread option. you don't put a square peg in a round hole. Especially when that square peg is balsa wood.
August 21st, 2012 at 3:34 PM ^
There's an obvious rejoinder: why should Rodriguez necessarily force himself to try and coach an offense with which he had no familiarity at all? He made GERG do that, after all, and it was a disaster, partly because GERG is GERG but partly because that's what happens when a coach spends his whole career coaching one thing and then is forced to coach another.
August 21st, 2012 at 3:39 PM ^
What's the proof, that any particular defensive decision was "forced" on Greg Robinson? In answering, if you can, be very specific. Was there ever a time where Robinson said, "I can't run that defense; and I disagree with our running it. Because it is a bad defense for us and/or our current personnel and/or the kind of opponents we face in the Big Ten..." ?
What exactly did Rodriguez "make" Greg Robinson do, and how did he make him do it?
August 21st, 2012 at 4:00 PM ^
I can't believe I'm about to respond to this, but I will anyway. Do you realize that you've designed your demand so that it's literally impossible to answer "yes" to and therefore is pre-emptively constructed to "prove" you right?
Try using the logical side of your brain instead. It goes like this:
-- Greg Robinson had never in his life run a 3-3-5.
-- Greg Robinson ran a 3-3-5 at Michigan.
-- Either Greg Robinson decided to run a 3-3-5, or Rich Rodriguez told him to. We can rule out possibilities such as "Tony Gibson or another subordinate told him to." I shouldn't have to include that, but I will. Elimination of all other possibilities as too absurd to consider leave us with either it being Robinson's idea, or Rodriguez's.
-- It is very rare for a coach to make sudden, wholesale changes to his philosophy. In fact, my original post (which DEFENDED Rodriguez, and you'd have noticed that if you weren't so laser-focused on pouncing on every word that might even be marginally construed as RR criticism) was based on the premise that coaches don't do that.
-- Therefore, accepting that premise, we must logically conclude one thing: Rich Rodriguez told Greg Robinson to run a 3-3-5.
August 21st, 2012 at 4:08 PM ^
What you wrote:
He made GERG do that ...
[Emphasis added.]
Then, for good measure, you used the word "forced." Your words. Not mine. All I asked is why? What basis for those characterizations?
August 21st, 2012 at 5:32 PM ^
What basis for those characterizations? Do you know how boss-subordinate relationships work?'
August 21st, 2012 at 8:40 PM ^
You don't have a story, a quote, an eyewitness account, or even a confidential source deep inside the coaching staff who is an impeccable source but you can't say who it is. What you've got is nothing, which is what I thought all along.
Rodriguez=boss. Robinson=subordinate. Therefore Rodriguez "forced" Robinson to run a defense that Robinson was unqualified to run. It's not that just any doofus on the internet could make that claim; this one came from you.
August 21st, 2012 at 10:18 PM ^
So basically, you've decided to be the Semantics Troll. Shouldn't have expected any more than that, really.

August 21st, 2012 at 10:28 PM ^
you do realize that everything you say can be trumped by one little explanation: If RichRod didn't want him running the 3-3-5 all he had to do was tell GERG to do something different. In that sense RichRod is 100% responsible for the bum ass defense we played the three years he was here...
Look, I'm not anti-richrod any more than you are but what I find ridiculous is your desire to constantly defend the man and fight the good fight long after reason has left your side... Just take a deep breath and let it go. We both know that RichRod is an excellent offensive coach whoul could have done better here at Michigan had the situation been different, but the situation wasn't different and he failed miserably. We wish him luck at ASU and hopefully he does just fine...
good night,
August 21st, 2012 at 7:37 PM ^
Who could have told us what the interactions between the defensive coaching staff was during those three years...
August 21st, 2012 at 8:34 PM ^
It wasn't written. It wasn't written that "Rich Rod forced a 3-3-5 on Greg Robinson." And of course it also wasn't written that "Greg Robinson claimed to be a master of the 3-3-5 to get the job." We don't know, from Bacon's book.
So without that, naturally, I'd like to know how anybody else outside of the program would know. And be able to make such dramatic claims as Rodriguez forced it; or that Rodriguez made Robinson do it.
August 22nd, 2012 at 10:20 PM ^
Is a whole other story.
What can be said is that either Rich, his boss, told him to do it, or that Rich was so hands off with the defense it was coaching malpractice. You can pick which is worse.
August 21st, 2012 at 11:56 AM ^
We should just clear one thing up. Hoke and company developed Depth last year, they did not inherit it. It's called teaching fundementals and instilling confidence in each player that if his number is called, he will get the job done.
A roster full of upperclassman? We played as many sophomore and freshman last year as we did under each of RR's years. I do not even feel like researching this...again.
"This is the smallest Michigan Team I have ever seen." - Brady Hoke Spring of 2011 (he hasn't said this in a public setting, but he certainly has been quoted about the importance of the current roster's need to get bigger)
"I'm trying to figure out why there are neanderthals in the fanbase who still have to make it a "Hoke vs RR" scenario, when neither coach would even bother with it themselves"
You must have missed RR on CBS last year talking about how he could have had last year's Michigan team winning as many or more games than they were. Also, some of his ridiculous quotes when he took the Arizona job.
Hoke is the class act. You shouldn't lump the two together.
August 21st, 2012 at 8:22 AM ^
First off--we all obviously think that Hoke and Co should be on the list. But I find it interesting that the article mentions that they rankings are based on the coaches past accomplishments along with how the team is expected to do this year. While you have to take past accomplishments into account, much of that is based on the resources that your particular school provides. Also, a guy like Spurrier really hasn't done much in the last decade. As for expectations this year---so if a coaching staff is expected to have a down year talent-wise, does that must mean they are not as good of coaches as they were when they had success with more talent?
August 21st, 2012 at 8:26 AM ^
I completely disagree with the Spurrier comment. Making South Carolina a consistent competitor in the SEC would be like making Illinois a consistent competitor in the Big Ten. South Carolina is not Florida. And the piece was not about his failure in the NFL.
August 21st, 2012 at 8:31 AM ^
Spurrier hasn't done much in the last decade? 20-7 in his last two seasons with USC (the other USC) with a SEC East Championship to boot. USC is a TOUGH place to win -- competing with Florida, Clemson, Georgia, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Florida State, etc. for recruits isn't easy. Plus, Columbia is a decent college town but it's definitely not Gainesville or Athens.
August 21st, 2012 at 10:45 AM ^
As a GT grad...uh, thanks for putting us in that category :)
August 21st, 2012 at 11:49 AM ^
Opening up against VT... that's tough, and could pretty much impact the entire season. Interesting match up.
August 21st, 2012 at 1:34 PM ^
GT recruits pretty decently (well, has anyway)...and offers a lot of the same players.
August 21st, 2012 at 8:24 AM ^
but I don't have a problem with them not being on here. Mattison is one of the best DC's in the country, but Hoke is relatively unproven and Borges' record is mediocre. I to think Borges has shown signs of flexibility/improvement, and if Hoke keeps recruiting like this there will be no questions. Our positions coaches also seem fantastic imho, but i doubt they looked that closely at that.
In sum, whatever man.
August 21st, 2012 at 3:57 PM ^
You need to take a closer look at Al Borges' career. He has been far from mediocre. He is a proven and effective coach and OC. He has been a Broyles award finalist for cryin out loud.

Lewan omitted from his OL list and now UM left off this list. If the VaTech staff is so great, who called the fake punt, 4th and 1 into the center of the line, ... The VaTech staff made numerous mistakes that (thankfully) snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Credit to the UM staff because the team played with poise and control in spite of the pre-game injuries. So who's staff is better?
August 21st, 2012 at 8:45 AM ^
Beamer is much more accomplished than Hoke. Maybe not better in the long run, but Beamer has a better resume.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:21 AM ^
You're basing your opinion on one game. I love Michigan's staff, but to say Coach Hoke and Co. are more accomplished (what the article is partially looking at) then you need to take off your maize and blue glasses.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:25 AM ^
First off, it's debatable that one staff outcoached the other in that game. When the game between two almost evenly matched teams comes down to a missed field goal by one team followed by a made one by another in OT, clearly it was even coached. Also, not only are you basing your opinion on one game, but you'd be hard pressed to find many people who are know anything about college football who'd say U of M has a better coaching staff than VaTech.
Beamer is a legend. No D-1 coach right now has been coaching longer than him or has as many wins as him. Matter of fact, he has more career wins than our beloved Bo as well as our hated Woody. Also, Bud Foster is really one of the best d-coordinators out there. Taking off my Maize n' Blue goggles for a second, he very well may be superior to Mattison. To for one second think that Hoke and Co. deserves to be on that list over Beamerball is really shortsighted. It would be an outstanding success if at some point we could look back and compare Hoke's current staff's accomplishments to Beamer's. Good thing is, with that way his U of M tenure started, we may get that chance...
August 21st, 2012 at 3:25 PM ^
A coach of near legendary level, and one with some great assistants. I know we got a lot of "we were so awful in the Sugar Bowl!", but I don't think that's really giving credit to someone as good as Bud Foster with a month to prepare. I know there's some "why can't we get over the hump" fatigue at VT (from their fan reaction after the game), but they're not going to do better than that staff. It happens a lot with success. So they definitely deserved to be ranked up there.
Having said that, for one game, they didn't have their best in-game day. They did make a couple of glaring errors that seemed odd even in layman terms. Michigan very much staying in what they were capable of. Doesn't make Beamer et al. bad....it just wasn't their best day. It happens.
August 21st, 2012 at 8:47 AM ^
My initial reaction to this was rage: "We beat VaTech in the Sugar Bowl last year, with plenty of help from Beamer's HERP and DERP! This list is crap and biased!" But, I suppose with only one year under our belt (11-2), any statements made about our coaching staff are very premature. We'll see how things go with Hoke's second squad.
However, I can't see how my argument holds when a COMPLETELY unproven Urban Meyer & staff at OSU (0-0) is #6.
Football season rapidly approaches. Starving journalists will write articles. All the articles. Regardless of whatever crap they contain. Any press is good press.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:17 AM ^
unproven you say! Bowling Green, Utah, and Florida would like a word with you lol...like it or not, Meyer is a PROVEN coaching commodity.
August 21st, 2012 at 10:23 AM ^
At first I thought what was Urban and his crew doing there also, mainly because he spent the last two(?) years away from football, but he has always done really well at every stop. He might have fallen off a bit at Florida and been outshined by Saban and Miles but he still won two national championships there. His assistants don't seem to be slouches either.
Texas is the one that really makes me wonder. Granted apparently his new assistant coaches are hot shit, but Mack and Texas have fallen off the last couple of years.
At the end of the day, this is a pointless and very subjective list composed during the offseason to give sports fans something to argue about. If Hoke and crew do well this season, maybe they will be on this list next year. Regardless, I prefer Big Ten champs, National Champs (probably still a few years away), and the critical impact Hoke and crew have on these kids' lives over Yahoo Top Ten lists.
August 21st, 2012 at 8:57 AM ^
announced their top 10 Most Constipated Coaching Staffs in NCAAF and Dantonio and his staff was awarded the blue ribbon. Congrats to Coach D and staff.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:25 AM ^
I heard it was him and Brian Kelly in the final 2 but they had to go with the one with the best scowl.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:20 AM ^
Like a couple other posters said, my reaction was first annoyance and incredulity with this list but I have to say that I agree with some (OK State, South Carolina and, it pains me to give the Grouch credit, MSU). But how is Texas that high when EVERY season they have a Top 5 or Top 10 recruiting class and had miserable seasons the past couple years. I understand Mack Brown won the NC several years ago (with a freakishly talented VY) but their performance the last two years should boot them off this list until they prove they deserve it. Also, what about TCU? They are a Texas coaching staff much more deserving than the one listed at #4.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:36 AM ^
Am i the only one who is a little ticked off that those two programs are so highly regarded? I feel like they SHOULD be good since they oversign so heavily...

Fertile Soil: Xavier Beauvois Discusses "The Guardians"
An interview with the actor-director about his new film about a trio of French women on a home front farm during the First World War.
The strength of women left alone to fend for themselves is the communal focus of actor and director Xavier Beauvois's The Guardians. After directing Of Gods and Men (2010), Beauvois's excellent neo-western set among French monks in Algeria, we lost sight of this under-estimated director—his next was a quasi-comedy I'm dying to see about ruffians stealing Chaplin's corpse—though it was a delight to encounter him earlier this year before the camera as one of Juliette Binoche's many love (and sex) interests in Claire Denis's Let the Sunshine In. I am very glad indeed that Beauvois is back in the director's seat and in the international spotlight with The Guardians, adapted from an obscure 1924 novel by Ernest Pérochon about a struggling farmstead on the home front of the First World War, and one of the exceptional films of the year. Beauvois, whose collaborations are impeccable (his regular cinematographer, Caroline Champetier, has worked with Godard, Rivette, Lanzmann, and Carax; his score is by The Umbrellas of Cherbourg's Michel Legrand), is the kind of effortless filmmaker who reminds audiences that each edit can (and should) be adroitly chosen and timed, that the framing of an image can be beautiful without being adorned, and whose direction of actors keeps performances curt but moving.
Over the course of the war years, the inhabitants of The Guardian's money- and manpower-strapped farm—its sorrowful, conservative matriarch (Nathalie Baye, a quiet force), who grieves for her three fighting boys, her married daughter (Laura Smet) yearning for her captured husband, and a newly hired farmhand (screen debutante Iris Bry, captivating)—carry with them the subtle but deep weight of daily struggle precariously conflated with the war's immense psychic force. The tensions of returning men, of fitful love between a son (Cyril Descours) and the farmhand, nightmares of war, visiting American soldiers, and the pressure to make money and keep a family intact, may all seem dramatic, but the film's sense of time is that of the farm and the provinces, and Beauvois's technique is carefully restrained so that melodrama is avoided, yet tragedy can still subtly grow. A gorgeous pan across the faces of those working on the home front—themselves fighting to subsist, to be happy, and to keep to themselves and yet keep together—as they break for lunch during the harvest crystallizes in wheaty sunlight The Guardian's superb, patient beauty. Beauvois has successfully yet modestly re-created a world and allows his cinema to rove within it, finding the people on history's sidelines who think, feel and work as much as those who fight with gun and steel.
NOTEBOOK: Each film you choose to direct always surprises me in subject. How did you find this book from the 1920s and what attracted you to the home front of the war in the provinces?
XAVIER BEAUVOIS: The producer Sylvie Pialat introduced me to the book. She had a grandfather who had a very small book collection but he had all of Pérochon's books, and then when she met Maurice Pialat, who then became her husband, he was a great fan of Pérochon and also had all his books. Because this author wasn't very well known she was charmed that Maurice knew of him. So Sylvie gave me the book, and I really like The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, which I see as a war film. Of course it's a different war, the war of Algeria, but it shows the life of the people who stayed behind and the experience of the pregnancy of the alcoholic father who comes back from war.
NOTEBOOK: It's interesting that you bring up Maurice Pialat, because one of the things that came to mind while watching this film was Pialat's 1971 television series La maison des bois, which is also set in the countryside during the First World War. Were you thinking of this series while making The Guardians?
BEAUVOIS: Yes, but not directly. Everyone else's work stays within you and it becomes a cultural heritage that you digest over time. It comes out at a moment you wouldn't necessarily expect. For example, one movie that really informed my subconscious is The Deer Hunter for the first part with the wedding and the hunt. It's a masterpiece and it fed my inspiration.
NOTEBOOK: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is an interesting comparison point, because when Jacques Demy made that film he couldn't really talk about the Algerian war in cinema. So he made a film not about the war but about the sadness and sorrow at home while a war is occurring. That was a war that was happening when that film was being made, so I'm curious about The Guardian's more distant time period. How did you find yourself, personally, inside this world and a war that is much farther from us?
BEAUVOIS: I read a lot. I read all of the encyclopedias, I wanted to know everything and learn about the weapons of the time. I read letters from soldiers from the front. At the time mail was free, the French government had hired 400,000 workers just to deal with the mail, and people were writing thousands of letters, they were writing every day. So there were thousands and thousands of letters from the front that I could read. I do this with all of my films—if I make a police film I work with police officers; for Of Gods and Men, I worked with monks. And on this I consulted a historian and who told me about farm life. It was very important not to make any mistakes about the period, but at the same time I didn't want to make a historical film. I wanted to make the viewer feel in the moment, like a fly on the wall observing it at the time, but not making it seem like a reconstruction.
NOTEBOOK: This is one of my favorite things about the film: it's very restrained and unadorned. It doesn't have the gloss of false history. It's a film with not a lot of words but feels very lived in. How do you work with your actors to build these characters who have lived for ages in this isolated farm?
BEAUVOIS: Country folk are strong silent type, so from the onset that was very little dialogue. I like to refer back to François Truffaut, who said that shooting a film is like a critique of the screenplay, and then editing a film is like a critique of the shoot. So in the editing we actually cut a ton of dialogue. Nathalie Baye was kind of freaking out about all the dialogue being cut, but I said to her, "country folk don't speak so much so don't worry, it's fine." In terms of how they inhabited their characters—well, they took courses. They learnt how to work the land, how to sow, how to drive cattle. The location is super isolated, it's also really desert-like. We had a farm that we rented for over a year for multiple seasons, and then it became kind of a studio where you can follow your inspiration. If the schedule says we're shooting in the kitchen today, we could decide to shoot outside in the rain because it was raining that day and it's okay. Whereas when you're shooting in the city you have to follow a schedule. You can't follow that inspiration of the moment, and so on set, on the farm, we were able to follow the schedule of a farmer who could rise and set with the sun and live that pace of life.
NOTEBOOK: The theme of this movie and as well with Of Gods and Men is the beauty but also the problems of an isolated community. Did you find that shooting a film separated like this also had these problems of isolation, or was it a greater creative space for creative freedom?
BEAUVOIS: At that time in France, 80% of the work was farm work. That is a huge difference from now. Isolation then was not bad, it was just the norm, and I have a house in Normandy and I love that isolation. The city is where I find I have more stress or problems. That's what I find problematic. So the issues of the country—you can even hear the hum of the city [at Toronto International Film Festival] now! I can't be here for three days, it would drive me nuts. In terms of creative process, that isolation is fertile soil for sure. If you shoot in Paris, all of your technicians will live there and they go home at night. But when you're shooting in the country everyone is together—they live together and sleep and eat together in hostels and hotels, and that contributes an incredible amount to the group cohesion and it just makes it a more serene shooting experience than when you have to part at the end of the day. Still, we wanted to keep an eye people's family lives so that by shooting early on Fridays people can go back on the weekend and spend time with their families. But the country aspect, it would be my dream to shoot here in Canada—in fact we even rented a cabin in the woods for after the festival, because of course you can't come to Canada without taking advantage of the country. I brought my fishing rod. It would be a dream for me to shoot in the forest, but of course many filmmakers would find it a nightmare to have to leave Paris and to shoot in the country's isolation. In fact, I even bought my neighbor's house in Normandy because I used to have fantastic neighbors, and I was so concerned I would have crazy neighbors next I bought the house. As Chaplin says, the greatest luxury is silence.
NOTEBOOK: In the film your decoupage is so precise that I was struck whenever there was any kind of stylistic flourish. For example, the tracking shots of the farm work and two long panning shots, first in the classroom, then also during the lunch break in the fields. I'm wondering if how much you envision your images. Are your camera movement in the screenplay? How much of the technique found once you're in the space working with the actors?
BEAUVOIS: I never storyboard my movies. I very much follow my mood, the weather, and of course there are other things that will affect my inspiration in the moment. But some shots have to be planned: the harvest scene has to be choreographed, so we planned that scene far in advance because there's just so much movement with cutting the wheat. But I would say I'm not the intellectual type, I'm an instinctive type. I think that movies are like a baby and you have to listen to your baby, and today is kind of like a birth because it's the first time that we're screening it. Some filmmakers don't listen to their films and just need it to be how they planned it. One example of how I listen is that I didn't know that Iris could sing, so I just added a scene in the moment. Another thing that you can't plan for is the light, especially in the country you don't control the light—it's nature. We have to scout or locations very carefully and you have to go out at 5 in the morning and see if this scene we can only shoot from 10 to 11 AM, and after that it's no good. Some filmmakers are sticklers for their plan, but I like to listen to my actors. They all inhabit their characters and they come with suggestions—I'm trying to make a film that is smarter than me; they say I just want to "vampire" other people's intelligence! If I make a film that I already saw in my head, if I make it exactly as my vision was, that wouldn't be as interesting. I want to be surprised by my own film. I have to say also that there's a great freedom that we have as filmmakers in France that you don't have in the United States—you can't improvise on a script because a producer signed for this one synopsis. But If I'm in France and I'm shooting with Deneuve and Belmondo, and I don't like the shot and I think that we should go shoot this by the lake, we can just hop into a little car with three or four people and a camera, and we go and it's not a problem. But that's absolutely impossible in the U.S.—that's why you see French filmmakers come to the United States and they go nuts because they're so frustrated.
NOTEBOOK: Is that one of the reasons why you work with Caroline Champetier? I always think of her as a very agile cinematographer to work with natural light and in unusual situations.
BEAUVOIS: What I love about working with her is that she is incredibly talented, but she's also fast. She can think in a moment to use a white sheet on the ground as a reflector. Of course, she can do more complex things, but it's important that she is fast and she is flexible because you want it to look good, everybody wants it to look good, but you don't want to spend 3 hours on a set up for it to look good. In terms of framing on the other hand, we butt heads a lot. I get the final say on framing, I plan it in advance and we never agree. I like to shoot my actors head on, she likes to shoot them from the z-Axis or on a diagonal. She likes to shoot really close, and I say, "we're not doing TV here, so I think we should be a little further." We always go back on forth on that, and of course I get to win because I'm the director [laughs]. Sure the light is right, but in terms of framing I'm the boss.
NOTEBOOK: At the beginning, I thought The Guardians was an ensemble about many characters, but the film almost evolves to almost be a dual between Francine and Hortense. A young orphan with no family, for whom money is less important than happiness, and an older woman who through the war needs to build a fortress of safety and wealth for her own family. Do you see these two characters as almost having opposite attitudes towards living?
BEAUVOIS: Absolutely, I even add that at the end you see Francine singing at the ball and it's such a departure from life on the land. You can imagine her maybe having a career as a singer in such a place of joy as compared to the farm life. You can imagine them as opposite, but at the same time they're almost like mother and daughter. Yet, there are misunderstandings and I do believe that by the end that they are rivals.

Americans generally believe people fleeing war or political oppression in their home countries should be allowed to seek refuge in other countries, however few think the U.S. should accept more Syrian refugees, according to a new poll.
A YouGov survey released this week shows just 26 percent of Americans say the U.S. should increase the number of Syrian refugees it is resettling on its shores. Nineteen percent said they approved of the current level and 30 percent said the U.S. should take in fewer.
"Nearly half of Republicans (48%) think that the U.S. should take in fewer Syrian refugees, and even Democrats are divided between the 39% who think more Syrians should be sheltered and the 38% who believe that current levels are either acceptable (17%) or too high (21%)," adds the YouGov analysis.
Independents were more evenly divided, with 24 percent saying the U.S. should accept more Syrian refugees, 19 percent agreed with the current level and 28 percent calling for fewer.
The poll was conducted in advance of last week's announcement that President Obama has instructed his administration to prepare to accept at least 10,000 Syrian refugees next year. This year the U.S. is slated to accept about 1,800 Syrian refugees. The YouGov poll, placed the current level of Syrian refugees accepted to the U.S. so far this year at just under 1,000.
A plurality of Americans also said that the number of refugees the U.S. admits is already too high, with 17 percent saying the level is "too high" and 28 percent saying the level is "far too high." Eleven percent said the U.S. could take in "many more" refugees, 10 percent said the U.S. could take a "few more" refugees and 14 percent said their are neither too many or too few refugees.
The idea of people fleeing oppression to other countries, however received a higher amount of support with 66 percent of Americans saying such people should have the right to seek refuge in other countries, 11 percent said they should not have the right and 23 percent were unsure.
Specifically on America as a country of refugee, YouGov reports just over half of Americans believe the U.S. should be a place to which refugees can flee.
"[I]n principle, few Americans (21%) disagree with the idea that the United States should provide refuge to people fleeing war or oppression in their home countries. 52% say that the US should provide refuge, though Democrats (65%) are much more likely than Republicans (39%) to say that the United States should shelter people fleeing war or oppression," YouGov reports.
The poll of 1,000 American adults was conducted from September 3-7 and has a margin of error of +/- 3.9 percent.

New Residential Investment Corp. is readying an offering of bonds backed by both reperforming and nonperforming mortgages, according to DBRS, a rating agency.
Like the real estate investment trust's previous transactions, the collateral for New Residential Mortgage Loan Trust 2017-1 was acquired by exercising cleanup calls on older, private-label securitizations that it services. This typically happens when at least 90% of the collateral for the older deals has been paid down, making them uneconomical to service.
It purchases the loans collateralizing the old bonds, then bundles them into collateral for new deals.
NRZLT 2017-1 is backed by 6,544 loans with a total principal balance of $756,694,458. The loans are significantly seasoned with a weighted-average age of 161 months. Ninety-four percent of the pool is current and 5% is 30 days delinquent, and 1% is in bankruptcy. Approximately 76.5% and 83.8% of the loans have been making timely payments for the past 24 months and 12 months, respectively.
Approximately 25% of the loans have been modified; the majority of them more than two years ago.
As a result of the seasoning of the collateral, none of the loans are subject to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Ability-to-Repay or Qualified Mortgage rules.
DBRS expects to assign AAA ratings to the senior notes to be issued in the new transaction, which benefit from 16.05% credit enhancement.
Just over 61% of the pool is serviced by Ocwen Loan Servicing and 38.9% by Nationstar Mortgage. Nationstar will also act as the master servicer and the special servicer.
Among the strengths of the deal, according to DBRS, is the fact that the loans are generally of better quality than other distressed or re-performing portfolios that DBRS has reviewed. "The borrowers in the pool largely exhibit Alternative-A credit profiles and low current LTV ratios," the presale report states. "In addition, borrower credit scores are generally stronger than other re-performing portfolios reviewed by DBRS."
The rating agency also noted loan in New Residential securitizations generally prepay faster than similar deals from other sponsors, because the borrowers have clean payment histories and a significant amount of equity in their homes. This makes it relatively easy for them to refinance into a loan with a lower interest rate.

Furnace Maintenance in Minneapolis, St. Paul and Surrounding Cities
Heating systems are just as intricate as air conditioning systems, if not more so. Heating systems run off of a heat source that provides the system with the required heat energy to perform. There are a variety of heat sources available on the market and these include heat pumps, boilers, and furnaces. The latter are the most common due to ease of accessibility and possibly cost implications as well. Furnace Maintenance:

Furnace Maintenance
Your heating system needs regular maintenance in order to prevent unwanted damages and costly repairs. Your furnace is built to last for many years but if you fail to look after the equipment, its service will be cut short. Your furnace is the heat source that keeps your heating system functioning day in and out. This piece of equipment works very hard and is prone to wear and tear. Regular furnace maintenance will ensure that damage to your furnace does not go unnoticed. A damaged furnace can lead to disaster, gas leaks can lead to explosions and carbon monoxide can lead to poisoning if inhaled in large quantities.
The Importance of Regular Maintenance Checks
Keep your family safe from harm through regular maintenance checks. Our trained technicians will check for visibly damage or defects, unusual smells which could mean gas leaks, as well as tightening fittings and ensuring any associated piping is not clogged up. Call Residential Heating and Air Conditioning and keep your furnace safe from disaster. An unmaintained furnace is a time bomb waiting to explode, bringing with it damage and destruction. Your family can enjoy the warmth of your energy-efficient and cost-effective heating system safe in the knowledge that there is nothing untoward happening down below.

Xarelto Stroke Lawsuit
You may be afraid of becoming stricken by stroke, but did you know there are actions to take to avert it from manifesting in the first place? Undoubtedly, specific risk factors for strokes are beyond control, but fortunately, there are also risk criteria which you could very well control.
Chatting about these risks with your health care provider will shed some light on what you will do to diminish the chances of stroke. In case you have a consultation with a medical expert, they'll investigate various things, and they will also work blood tests that would reveal just what exactly a few of your risk factors tend to be which have not been revealed yet. Learning your controllable and unmanageable risks gives the knowledge and power to transform for the better.
Unrestrainable Risk Factors for Strokes
Such risk factors are the ones that you fundamentally won't be able to transform. The following are examples of some of the unrestrainable risk factors that may possibly escalate your chances of a stroke.
Age bracket
Family history of strokes
Past experience of a stroke
Fibromuscular Dysplasia
Hole in the heart (Patent Foramen Ovale)
Surely, there is pretty much nothing you could do concerning these risk factors. Having said that, when you work hard to mend your controllable risks, it'd be a major step towards exterminating your probability for strokes.
Risk Factors Which May Be Manipulated
After you do seek advice from your general practitioner, you could speak with them about end results in connection with the subsequent manageable risk factors.
Atrial fibrillation
High cholesterol levels
Coronary artery disease
Blood circulation troubles
High blood pressure
Smoking cigarettes (tobacco usage in general)
Physical activity
Being overweight
Alcohol use
Both medical and lifestyle dangers may possibly be changed with a spread of different methods. Bodyweight, blood pressure and elevated cholesterol will certainly be governed with optimal meal plan modifications and relevant exercises. Other than losing weight, your cholesterol will cut down and aided by the exercising, your blood pressure levels will certainly decrease at the same time.
In cases where you have circulation issues, staying physically active can help you deal with that dilemma in your body. A doctor can verify if your circulation issues are due to an obstacle inside the arteries which includes blockages and cholesterol plaques racking up in your arteries. Medications can potentially sort out this form of clog and the application of them must be watched closely by your specialist.
Smoking and tobacco use cessation is a necessary factor. If you ever already have atherosclerosis, smoking could make this illness even worse which could eventually bring on blood clots. Alcohol ingestion ought to be moderated as it might elevate your blood pressure levels. A maximum of 1 drink a week need to be consumed if you desire to lower your risk of stroke.
Getting all the data about yourself plus your specific risk variables is the starting point toward dealing with your likelihood of experiencing a stroke.
