All part of her cover though... She's trying to save her ass, and doing the "diplomatic protest" thing to basically say "nah nah, you can't touch me". The Imperial senate itself seems to be an issue for Palps/Vader until the DS's construction is completed. WIth the "ultimate weapon" in action now, they're planning on using THAT to keep everyone in check. It seems to me that there's a good many years between E3 and E4 where there's political turmoil and in-fighting. I guess the declaration of a new Empire didn't mean the declaration of a totalitarian dictatorship by any means, and that many planets were threatening to reopen a galactic-wide war if they didn't have their fair say in a Senate.
Palpatine/Vader must go through a lot of **** for a long time I'm guessing, and then in ANH the DS is built and Palpatine dissolves the Imperial Senate based on the news that it's ready to roll. Tarkin, who seems to be quite high-ranking, takes it for a test-drive and uses it to A) make a statement to the galaxy as a whole by blowing up a core world in Alderaan, and then B) also is using it in an attempt to hand the Rebels their collective asses, and hopefully quell any other upstarts.
I've not played the game through yet but that still jives to me... They know Leia's "involved" they just are having a harder time proving she's active. Catching her stealing secret documents though and giving them away? That's a good way to put the Rebel logo to her publicly and out her entire planet, perhaps justifying a full-scale invasion of Alderaan at the time? What better reason to declare martial law than if that planet's leader is a clear traitor to the established government? Destroying it is just an afterthought by Tarkin to get his point across and deal with a "problem" all at the same time.

China to surpass Hollywood and Bollywood, aims to become world's largest film market by 2020
Some foreign films, including 'Dangal', raked in higher box office collections in China than in India.
This year, some foreign films, including Indian blockbuster "Dangal", raked in higher box office collections in China than in their own country.
By 2020, China is likely to produce around 800 films each year and the annual box office collection is expected to be around 70 billion yuan (USD 10.6 billion), Zhang Hongsen, deputy director of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT) was quoted as saying by the state-run Xinhua news agency.
Chinese director Feng Xiaogang
It is possible that China will become the world's new film production centre, Zhang added.
According to SAPPRFT, last week, the box office collection in China exceeded 50 billion yuan (USD 7 billion) this year, it is the first time that the country has broken the 50-billion mark in box office taking.
Chinese actress Wu Yanshu
The box office collection for domestic movies reached 26.2 billion yuan, accounting for 52.4 per cent of the total earning.
The Amir Khan-starrer 'Dangal' raked up over Rs 1,100 crore since its release in China in May. The movie has created history by becoming only 33 film in China's history to have collected over RMB one billion. It was played in over 7,000 screens across China for over two months.
It also won praise from President Xi Jinping and other top Chinese leaders. Many schools in China have recommended their students and their parents to watch the film.

Enterprise Reporting Initiatives
Fred H. Cantrell, Associate Vice President
Many of you have expressed to me or my staff your concerns and suggestions regarding Enterprise Reporting. We have made some changes to the system based on your feedback but recognize there is still much work to do.
To improve Enterprise Reporting we will focus on the areas listed below:
1. Reliability and Stability. More frequent and dependable data updates; additional data added to the warehouse; speed improvements; additional delivered and prompted reports; reduce emergency and scheduled maintenance downtime.
2. Usability. Improve the reporting navigation, names of reports and report descriptions; reduce response time when navigating between Web pages; simplify security roles and access to reports.
3. Report Improvements and Additions. Create new reports and modify existing reports; reduce number of printed pages in reports; provide delivered monthly reports.
4. Outreach and Communications. Consistent use of the Alert Notices; advanced notice of scheduled maintenance; communication on regular basis of upcoming upgrades or enhancements and ongoing work; develop outreach program to address needs and concerns.
Specific objectives and projects associated with Enterprise Reporting will be announced in the Bridges Advisory, Bridges pagelet, and other communications. Over the next year, Bridges is committed to keeping you better informed about the progress being made on specific initiatives.
Over the past month, considerable effort has focused on delivering comprehensive reporting packages for principal investigators and grant administrators to better manage their project finances. First hand-delivered to departments, these reports are now delivered via myUFL > Enterprise Reporting > Project Reports. Bridges has recently turned its attention to delivering similar reports for fiscal staff to help them better manage their department or college. The creation of these reports has been, and will continue to be, a joint effort involving end users (via outreach visits, Help Desk tickets, myUFL Suggestion Box, etc.), core users, university administration, and Bridges.
In conjunction with the efforts of the Enterprise Reporting team, the Bridges Campus Outreach team has been holding advanced reporting training for many of the central offices in Finance and Accounting. The Division of Human Resources will receive similar advanced training beginning in July. These specialized courses will enable core users to develop customized reports and retrieve data directly from myUFL – resulting in better customer service for the end user.
Thank you for your patience as we work to improve Enterprise Reporting. If you have any comments or suggestions about reporting, or anything related to the myUFL systems, please send them to the myUFL Suggestion Box by clicking on the “Suggestions” link located in the portal in the upper right- hand corner.

Characterization and developmental expression of binding sites for the transplacental iron transport protein, uteroferrin, in fetal hematopoietic tissues.
- Additional Document Info
- View All
In the pig, iron transport to the developing fetus during pregnancy involves, in part, uteroferrin (UF), a secreted progesterone-induced protein of the uterus. Neonatal pigs suffer from anemia, and the decrease in the synthesis of UF protein in late pregnancy was suggested to be partly responsible for this condition. To examine whether diminished capacity for UF uptake by pig fetuses may also contribute to neonatal anemia, binding sites for 125I-UF were examined in plasma membrane-enriched fractions of fetal liver and spleen, which are sites of fetal hematopoiesis. In addition, changes in the number of these binding sites as a function of fetal development were evaluated. Binding of 125I-UF to liver membrane fractions was displaced by intact UF greater than deglycosylated (aglyco) UF greater than ovalbumin, but not by yeast mannan. Scatchard analysis of radioligand binding showed the presence of a single class of binding sites with a dissociation constant of 10(-7) M. During fetal development and at postpartum (day 5), liver binding sites for UF remained invariant and displayed the same affinity. In contrast, the number of binding sites for UF in fetal spleen increased from midpregnancy to parturition and remained elevated in day 5 neonatal spleen. Affinity cross-linking of 125I-UF to liver membrane-associated binding sites and subsequent analysis by gel electrophoresis and autoradiography demonstrated a single labeled protein complex of Mr 58,000 and 87,000 under denaturing and nondenaturing conditions, respectively. The appearance of these bands was inhibited by intact UF, but not ovalbumin. The characteristics of the membrane-associated binding sites for UF differed from those of the mannose-related receptor previously described in reticuloendothelial cells of fetal liver. The invariant presence of UF binding components in sites of hematopoiesis during fetal development suggests that mechanism(s) unrelated to specific uptake of UF are responsible for neonatal anemia.

Crews tackle several wildfires in Washington
Mon., Aug. 1, 2016
RICHLAND – A wildfire burning toward the Hanford nuclear reservation scorched about 110 square miles of brush and grass Monday as it spread from Yakima County into Benton County.
The blaze, the largest of several wildfires in Central and Eastern Washington, began Saturday on the U.S. Army’s Yakima Training Center and quickly grew in size over the weekend.
But fire lines set overnight and low winds Monday are helping to slow the fire’s progression, said Randall Rishe, a spokesman with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The cause is being investigated.
Crews were able to keep the fire west of Highway 240 by burning up grass and other fuel along there, he said, and away from contaminated areas within the 586-square mile Hanford site north of Richland. Hanford once made plutonium for nuclear weapons and is now undergoing a decades-long cleanup.
“We do not see it progressing any further east,” Rishe said. “Our containment lines are in place, the burnout was successful on Highway 240, so the potential for fire danger in that area is very low at this time.
A section of State Route 24 near Hanford that had been closed also reopened Monday, a state transportation official said.
The Department of Energy said Monday on its website that Hanford work schedules weren’t affected at this time.
Meanwhile, fire crews were fighting another blaze that scorched more than 9 square miles of grassland outside of Prosser.
Local crews were able to protect homes threatened by the fire, and all evacuation orders were lifted Monday morning, said Marcus Deyerin, a spokesman with the Northwest Washington Incident Management Team. One outbuilding burned.
Emergency shelters that opened in Yakima County to response to both fires are now closed, said Kent Katlin, a spokesman for Yakima County Emergency Management.
Several campgrounds along the Naches River were evacuated Sunday evening as a wildfire burned in thick forest about 25 miles west of Yakima, said U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Robin DeMario.
About 100 people at Camp Roganunda, a Christian camping facility, and others at two federal campgrounds were told to leave the area, and an additional 25 homes in the area were also evacuated, DeMario said.
State Route 410 remained open but travelers are advised to be careful because of firefighting operations in the area.
No structures have burned and no injuries have been reported. The cause of the 100-acre fire, which started Sunday evening, is under investigation, DeMario said.
BLM’s Rishe reminded people not to operate drones in the area of wildfires. He said air operations were temporarily halted Saturday because of concerns that a drone would interfere with firefighting activities.
“If you fly your drone, we can’t fly our plane,” he said.

This will be Ryan’s much-anticipated début solo show with the Solomon, having previously enjoyed great success with one-person exhibitions at the Mullan Gallery Belfast, Catherine Hammond Gallery, Cork and the Custom House Gallery, Mayo.
The Secret Garden lies somewhere between the artist’s memory and imagination. It is the garden of her childhood. Each oil painting is pushed through a process of layering and sanding, combining observational drawing, photographic collage and spontaneous mark-making.
Frances Ryan was born in Longford, Co. Louth and currently lives and works in Bangor, Co. Down. She received a National Diploma in Fine Art from Dun Laoghaire College of Art & Design (IADT) and has won numerous prestigious awards, including the Paul Henry Landscape Prize at the Royal Ulster Academy Annual Exhibition (2014 and 2006), the Towry Award for Best Work from Northern Ireland at the National Open Art Competition, Somerset House & Chichester, UK (2014) and she was a finalist in the Golden Fleece Award (2011).
Frances has been part of many select group exhibitions in Ireland, the UK and the US, including several Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA) and Royal Ulster (RUA) Annual Exhibitions. She has just been elected an Associate Member of the Royal Ulster Academy. Her work forms part of prestigious public collections including the Office of Public Works (OPW), the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, AIB Bank, the Four Seasons/Intercontinental Hotel, Dublin, the Ballinglen Arts Foundation Archive and the Boyle Civic Collection, Co. Roscommon.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tropical Storm Henriette has formed off of Mexico’s Pacific coast, but forecasters said Monday it’s likely to curve out to sea and weaken before hitting land.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Henriette had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph) Monday morning and was located about 265 miles (430 kilometers) southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula.
It was moving to the west-northwest at 12 mph (19 kph).

Kitchens are often the most important and busiest rooms in a home. They’re the place where family and friends gather, where meals are prepared and where memories are made. Many people want to upgrade their kitchens but find the cost of new kitchen cabinets prohibitively expensive. Fortunately, there is an affordable alternative: buying wholesale kitchen cabinets online. In this article, we will discuss how to transform your kitchen with stylish wholesale kitchen cabinets online.
Benefits of Buying Wholesale Kitchen Cabinets
There are numerous benefits to buying wholesale kitchen cabinets online. For starters, they are much more cost-effective than buying retail. Retail kitchen cabinets can be very expensive, but when you buy wholesale, you can usually save up to 50% or more. In addition, the cabinets are usually made from high-quality materials that are designed to last for years.
Another benefit of buying wholesale kitchen cabinets online is that you can often customize them to fit your kitchen. This means that you can choose the style, color, and finish that best fits your kitchen’s design and your own personal taste. Furthermore, you can also choose the size and number of cabinets that will best fit your kitchen space.
How to Choose the Right Wholesale Kitchen Cabinets
When it comes to choosing the right wholesale kitchen cabinets online, there are a few important factors to consider. First, you should consider the style of the cabinets. Do you want a modern look or a more traditional style? Do you want cabinets with glass doors or a more solid design?
Next, you should consider the quality of the cabinets. Look for cabinets that are made from high-quality materials and that are designed to last for years. Also, be sure to check the customer reviews to find out what other people are saying about the cabinets.
Finally, you should consider the price. Wholesale kitchen cabinets can be very affordable, but it’s important to compare prices to make sure you’re getting the best deal. It’s also a good idea to look for any discounts or special offers that may be available.
How to Transform Your Kitchen with Wholesale Kitchen Cabinets
Once you’ve chosen the right wholesale kitchen cabinets for your kitchen, it’s time to start transforming your kitchen. Here are some tips for getting the most out of your new cabinets.
1. Install the Cabinets Properly
The first step in transforming your kitchen is to make sure that your cabinets are installed properly. Make sure that you follow all the instructions carefully and that you use the right tools. If you’re not sure how to install the cabinets, you should consider hiring a professional.
2. Paint or Stain the Cabinets
Once the cabinets are installed, you can start thinking about how you want to finish them. Painting or staining the cabinets is a great way to add color and personality to your kitchen. If you choose to paint the cabinets, be sure to choose a color that complements the rest of your kitchen’s design.
3. Add Hardware and Accessories
Adding hardware and accessories to your cabinets can really transform your kitchen. Consider adding drawer pulls, knobs, shelf brackets, and other decorative items to give your cabinets a unique look.
4. Make the Most of Storage Space
It’s important to make the most of the storage space in your kitchen. Consider adding shelves, drawers, baskets, and other storage solutions to help keep your kitchen organized and clutter-free.
Upgrading your kitchen doesn’t have to be expensive. By buying wholesale kitchen cabinets online, you can save a lot of money and still get the look you want. With the right cabinets and a few simple upgrades, you can transform your kitchen into a stylish and functional space.

The features “Toggle”, “Hold” and “Consult” are interrelated and are used when two callers wish to converse with a third party. When another caller is trying to make contact while a telephone conversation is in progress, this may be indicated by a knocking tone, for example. The called party can inform the “knocking” caller by means of the “Consult” function that he will ring him back shortly. The original caller is placed on hold during this time. Once the conversation with the “knocking” caller has ended, the “consulting” party automatically returns to the caller on hold and the call can be continued normally. Toggling allows the user to switch to and fro between two callers any number of times. Inactive callers are placed in a call queue. The conference function permits three or more parties to be interconnected for a conference call. In this case, all parties are able to communicate with each other in a virtual chat room.
The number of lines occupied varies depending on whether the feature is made available in the network or the telephone system. Toggling via the telephone system generally occupies two outgoing lines connected to the public telephone network, whereas toggling within the telephone exchange is possible with only one active phone line. All modern telephone systems, including cloud telephone systems, support features such as toggling, holding or consulting and offer a wide range of convenient conference functions.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? If that’s the case, there must be plenty of automotive designers doing an awful lot of blushing, because we managed to outline a long list of cars that share more than a passing resemblance to totally different models. We’re skipping badge-engineered cars or captive imports—that’s just cheating. Without further ado, here are 20 sets of cars, trucks, and SUVs that look a lot alike, whether by accident or by intent.
Read the full article on Hagerty.com:
I remember when the first generation Celica appeared in the US - I think they called it the GT Liftback - and I thought to myself, it's a Japanese Mustang. Fast forward two & three decades to sedans by Lexus, Hyundai, and Kia, and the derivative styling becomes more widespread.
Take a look at the 1983 Mercedes G Wagon 280 and the 1985 Mitsubishi Pajero (Montero). Mitsubishi almost compied the G-Wagon completely in lines and dimensions. Also the dashboards were almost identical. The MBZ G-Wagon won the 1983 Paris-Dakar rally then in 1985 Mitsubishi won with the Pajero and basically owned that rally for years to follow.
My mother gave me her 1976 Toyota Celica GT Liftback when I was 18. I loved the car because I thought it looked exactly like a Mustang. I think the '76 is a closer match than the '73 though. As kids, we each had our favorite car. My brother's was the Javelin, which also resembles the Mustang. My first love was the Corvette in the early 70's (Corvette Summer), and I still love that car, although I drive an '04, 5 speed (real cars have 3 pedals) Mustang GT. I always thought my sister chose her favorite car, the Opel, because it looked like "my" corvette. It was great to see both these comparisons, letting me know I wasn't crazy. Great article !!!
On my first job after high school, I worked at a large construction site that had both a first gen Bronco and International Scout. Got to drive both in demanding and extremely muddy situations. The Bronco was best for light work and tight spaces. Seemed more nimble but fell down in heavy mud. I can remember pulling the Bronco out of a mud pit with the Scout. One time I got totally bogged down in a mud pit with the Scout and the Bronco came to pull me out, only to get totally mired to the point the doors wouldn't open. We both got pulled out by a D8. Took hours to wash off the sticky south Texas mud.
I favored the Scout for its better A/C, standard shift transmission and seemingly better 4WD system. I liked taking the Bronco home when I could as it was a better driving truck on roads, had an automatic and a decent radio.
One oddball thing with the Scout was the gas tanks. There's a switch on the floor controlling which tank gets the gas. The first week I drove the thing, I ran it out of gas because that little detail was left out when I got instructions on how to drive the thing. It was quite embarrassing to have to be rescued by the maintenance guy who merely flipped a switch and the engine started again. Never made that mistake again.
Both trucks were tough and strong. Both were useful on the job site and both could take a lot of punishment by a teenage idiot (me), and dozens of others.
Some yes, some, not so much. Being in the car design biz for 36 years it has always been of interest to me how people relate to comparing designs. But Porsche/Pacer??!! Flat out copying has been a mainstay for every car company since day one. What better way to get your new car noticed than to copy a successful design and then bring it to market thousands less. Let's be honest, many a car and truck has been bought on first impressions and nothing more. Especially when you consider that the vast majority of cars through the 60's and 70's were mainly marketed toward men. An easy mark with the use of a sexy line or a claim of exceptional horse power. It continues. New car. New spin.
Bitter-Khamsin should be Ghibli-Bitter. Some are straightforward copies other not really. Examples from the same year can not be imitations for the whole process takes more than a year. Similarities arenmore a sign of the time.
I think the story pitch should have stopped with 10, the ones after the Ferraris are almost a laughable stretch. Noone that cares the slightest about cars would mistake an RX-7 with a Conquest and Noone period could mistake a Pacer for a 928 🙂
The U.S. Pontiac GTO was actually a 'badge engineered' Holden Monaro from here in Australia and the Monaro was nothing more than a two door version of the Holden Commodore sedan. Holden basically took the Euro Opel/Vauxhall Omega and widened them for Australia to produce the Commodore so that's where the GTO's styling originated from.
I always thought the pointy nose Mazda RX3 coupe from around '75 - '76 looked a bit like a shrunken '69 Camaro. Both had pointy noses, squared off wheel arches, similar profiles and those coke bottle hips.

The entire NFL paused when this happened. Patrick Mahomes, Former League MVP and Super Bowl MVP holder, zipping to his right for a routine play option hoping to win a few yards for a key first against Cleveland Browns In the AFC division round. There was nothing routine about the outcome though, though Presidents of Kansas City Seeing the top of their half-billion-dollar investment driven into the grass – followed by a frightening moment when Mahomes tried and failed to stand alone.
The surprisingly privileged midfielder was a bit out of the ordinary and helped out in the medical tent before going to the locker room, where he was almost immediately disqualified for the rest of the game. after the match, Coach Andy Reid explained that Mahomes had passed the concussion protocol in the league, a good milestone No.1 for his willingness to move forward.
“He was hit in the head from behind and farted from him and everything else with him,” said Reid. “He’s doing a great job now and it’s a real positive when we look at this. He’s gone through all the deals he needed to pass, so we’ll see where it goes from here.”
Mahomes took Twitter To add more optimism, respond to the back Mac WilsonBrown’s defender who dealt with him in the ill-fated play.
So if Mahomes pass all the concussion tests, what exactly happened that kept him from returning everything at stake against Cleveland? It turns out that Mahomes passed the concussion tests easily because he had never had any in the first place, and the actual reason he immediately delirious was because of the nerve in his neck that had been tweaked (or possibly compressed) at the blow, Carrington Harrison CBS Sports Radio In Kansas City.
This means that while there is great news about his brain condition, he will still have tests this week on the affected nerve to make sure he has let in a green light against Buffalo bills In the AFC title match (Here’s a look at what he needs to do in order to be able to play). The Chiefs could have won in the absence of Mahomes, thanks to the reserve midfielder tournaments Chad Henny The play’s oddly provocative call from offensive coordinator Eric Binnemi, but Kansas City will need Mahomes on the field to increase its chances of avoiding the equally high-powered bills for a second straight trip to the Super Bowl.
Needless to say, that is The A must-watch headline this week, as Reid on Monday confirmed that Mahomes is already in concussion this week, although he didn’t fail any of those tests.

Discover a new, smarter way to heat your building
Heating costs produce most of the annual costs for housing associations. As traditional heating systems often end up wasting energy, these costs rise higher than necessary. Excessive usage of energy is bad for building owner’s wallets – and the environment.
SmartLiving presents next generation heating control. With sensors constantly measuring indoor temperatures of each apartment we are able to optimize the building’s entire heating system according to these measurements, weather forecast and calculated heating demand.
“Our heating optimization service is a completely new type of household service. Installing the SmartLiving sensors takes just minutes and requires no actions from the customer.”
Anne Salonen, Head of Customer Experience – Fortum SmartLiving
Average housing association saves 10% in heating costs
In our heating optimization service, a mathematical model of the building is optimized according to outdoor weather forecast, indoor temperatures of apartments and the calculated heating demand. This allows the heating system to utilize heating energy produced by sunlight during spring. In practice, the benefits of the service are reflected in the significant reduction of the need for heating energy – and thus lower costs.
“The best thing about SmartLiving is that the heating costs for our building have decreased by 13% in less than a year.”
Satu Lind, As Oy Espoon Kilonhovi
Better living conditions for residents

Japanese cars are the most reliable in the world. That’s according to J.D. Power and Associates, an international market research company. J.D. Power’s asked thousands of car owners about problems they had with their cars in the first three years of ownership. The Lexus car topped the reliability list, for the fourteenth year in a row. Lexus is Toyota’s luxury car brand. The survey found that Lexus cars were getting better and better. They had 120 problems per 100 vehicles, down from 145 problems in the 2007 study. "That's a pretty good track record," said Dave Sargent, a J.D. Power's executive. Lexus was first place in six categories, while other Toyota and Honda cars led four categories. Toyota's Prius hybrid was the winning compact car.
Mr Sargent said that reliability in cars is improving every year. In the past two years, the industry average has improved from 237 problems per 100 vehicles to 206. Land Rover, sold earlier this year to India's Tata Motors, was the worst-performing brand, with 344 problems. Sargent also said the “seriousness” of the problems was decreasing. The complaints being reported a few years ago were “hard” problems, such as serious technical defects. Sargent said these were becoming less common. He told reporters it is now more likely that car owners will complain about “soft” problems, like strange noises or wear and tear of the car’s interior. He added that: "Improved quality is good for everybody, especially for the consumers, who don't have the annoyance of problems and costs."

4-star dual-threat QB Dakereon Joyner shares his latest thoughts on UGA
Want a daily lap through Georgia football recruiting? That’s what the Intel will bring at least five days a week. We’ll cover the news and which way this 4-star like dual-threat QB Dakereon Joyner might lean plus add some perspective to help fans figure out what it all means.
The latest on South Carolina QB Dakereon Joyner is going to be very interesting for Georgia fans.
It will remind you of those choose-your-adventure stories. No doubt. Just pick any of the story arcs which might interest you. There’s bound to be one for the discriminating UGA fan.
- Georgia assistant coach Shane Beamer has been in touch with the 4-star QB daily. It ranks as one of — if not the highest-rated — targets Beamer has worked on that heavily for the Bulldogs.
- Alabama offered on March 9. Joyner’s recent tally includes the Tide plus Notre Dame, Oregon and Michigan State.
- South Carolina is the perceived team to beat. Joyner has cast aside an outdated December 2016 Top 5 and will now focus on Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina State, Oregon and South Carolina.
- 5-star QB Trevor Lawrence’s decision to choose Clemson opened the door for the 2016 Gatorade South Carolina Player of the Year to consider Georgia, among other schools.
- Joyner is rated as the nation’s No. 8 dual-threat QB for 2018. He also showed why on the field with his 3,642 passing yards and 44 touchdowns. The Fort Dorchester star added another 1,089 yards and 12 scores on the ground.
- This decision only has about three more months to mature. Joyner will commit on June 9. That day is significant and he will use it to honor his late father. He passed away when Joyner was nine years old.
Georgia’s push for Dakereon Joyner
Attack the day? That’s Georgia’s motto for recruiting Joyner, too.
“I talk to coach (Shane) Beamer every single day,” he told SEC Country’s Chris Kirschner. “I like Coach Kirby Smart, too. They are recruiting me hard every single day. They have two pocket passers. I kind of want to change the game and be that dual-threat quarterback. There’s a bit of pressure there knowing that coach Smart is looking at going the dual-threat route. They are looking for a guy that can change that offense.”
Joyner knows he is one of Georgia’s top QB targets for 2018.
“That’s special to me,” he said. “Any opportunity that I have is special and I appreciate it. I’m very thankful.”
He also addressed the speculation he might be a South Carolina lean.
If he does leave the state, he said his mother was already warming to the idea of moving near where he will enroll in January of 2018.
He’s also keenly aware that Alabama, UGA and South Carolina all started freshmen QBs last season. Does that matter?
“Yes, but at the same time it doesn’t,” he said. “I can always redshirt my freshman year. If they are good enough as they are now, then they would probably leave after three years. So, I could redshirt my freshman year and be fine.”
He elaborated on that.
“My expectation is to go wherever and win that job,” Joyner said. “If they have a great year, then so be it. That’s their job to do that. But I’m going anywhere to win that job.”
The Trevor Lawrence connection
When a big-name QB makes his decision, the ripple effects are felt across the country.
Joyner shared an interesting example of that with The State’s Phil Kornblunt in December. That narrative emerged when 5-star Cartersville QB Trevor Lawrence chose Clemson over Georgia.
In short, that move ended Joyner’s consideration of the Tigers. Clemson had offered him as an athlete but started to mention him as a possible quarterback as the months went by.
Joyner seems savvy to the game. He knew why.
“As they started losing ground with Trevor Lawrence, because everybody thought he was going to Georgia, which I thought, too, I kind of made up my mind,” he told Kornblut. “They kind of started throwing the quarterback situation in my ears and giving me what I wanted to hear. But it’s all a business and I can understand that. At this time I feel like there’s no room at Clemson for me to play quarterback.”
That opened the door for South Carolina to become a major contender. It also gave a program like UGA a fighting chance. A lot of the schools on his list had holstered their offers because the word was he was all Clemson.
“That kind of was true,” Joyner told Kornblut. “They were at the top of my list, and when it came down to it that’s where I would have ended up.”
4 really quick things
- The news regarding Brice Ramsey’s transfer wasn’t surprising. That’s why it was so important for UGA to land preferred walk-on Stetson Bennett IV back in February.
- Georgia appears to already be in pretty good shape with the nation’s No. 1 RB for 2019. Get to know Noah Cain.
- Want to see if UGA has a shot with a 6-foot-8, 400-pound offensive tackle who can throw down dunks? Daniel Faalele talks up his interest in UGA.
- Georgia continues to be in very good shape with junior college DT Emmit Gooden. Gooden told DawgNation yesterday the Bulldogs remain his biggest offer and they continue to recruit him heavily. He said to look for him to take an unofficial visit to check out Georgia’s spring practice on March 21. Gooden’s decision will be one to watch. He goes back years with new UGA defensive line coach Tray Scott. Gooden rates as the nation’s No. 2 DT prospect among the junior college ranks.

Especially when painting landscapes, I try to keep the composition principle “Rule of Thirds” in mind. This prevents major spaces from visually dividing a composition in half. I give sky space either 1/3 or 2/3 of the composition space, and land or sea the rest. Sky is 2/3 of the composition in the piece above.
After loading a large, wet brush with blue and a smaller, drier brush with brown, I add clear water to the bottom half of the sky, right up to the line for the snow covered field. This helps pigment appear paler there. I also add water to dry paper at top to allow for some clouds, then quickly paint the blue sky into dry paper and let the paint bleed into wet areas.
Before the sky shape dries, I quickly tap in, dry-on-wet, the distant tree line in various colors and value: brown, gold, red, even blue, leaving some light and bright, others very dark. Critical is that the top of this tree line is a soft edge. While still damp, light tree trunks are scraped out and a few strokes with a fan brush complete the mass.
A dry brush with gold and greenish pigment is dragged across the field to suggest its contour and melting snow. (Gray spots across the sky are cast shadows from a nearby window.)
With a wide, relatively dry brush that’s heavily loaded with pigment, bushes growing in the ravine are suggested. Pressure is applied at their base (where there’s a distinct line), and then the brush is swept up quickly to create their fine, thin branches. It’s a twist of the wrist. These are enhanced with some twiggy branches made with a script brush.
The fine branches at the tops of deciduous trees in winter are created with fine, quick marks made by a fan brush in a relatively pale wash. The application method involves much twisting of the brush to create short, light strokes from the top of the crown toward the center of the arc. I barely touch the paper with the brush. Color is derived from brown mixed into Cerulean. Once these marks are acceptable, I use a script brush to suggest larger branches that act as radii connecting crown twigs to trunk.
The cast tree shadow on the field at left was an afterthought. Normally it’s added early, before the darker shapes, and from the tree (or object) casting it. To avoid dragging dark color into it, it’s been painted in the reverse direction.
Rich darks, added wet- and dry-on-dry, complete the painting.

There has been a lot of positive press about the "new" Clearwire, a company that was put together from the original Clearwire, Sprint's Xohm, Google, Comcast, Intel and a few other players. This new company also received an infusion of $3.2 billion on top of what has already been spent by Clearwire and Sprint. The consensus in the press is that this new wireless broadband system will now have a chance to succeed.
Well, once again, I am one of the few who don't agree. Others point to the fact that the effort is led by Craig McCaw who has a "Midas" touch when it comes to wireless, that is unless you go back and look carefully at his track record and then you will find that perhaps it is not as good as myth has it.
But the real problem with the network is that those building it and those pouring money into it are hyping the capabilities of the network to the point where it will be a disappointment when it is turned on. WiMAX, as it is being deployed by Clearwire, is a 3G technology, not, as many people are saying, a 4G technology. The first true WiMAX mobile installation is being completed in Portland and Sprint has done a "soft launch" in Chicago, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. At this point, we have no published data from tests being conducted on the network. Nor do we have any results when it comes to speeds and network capacity. It is odd to me that we are still only hearing about the speeds that are predicted and not real-world speeds that have been measured in the field.
The big driver for this network is that it be what Google wanted from the 700 MHz auction--a completely open network, capable of being used for any information from any source. Any device capable of WiMAX can be purchased in a store and added to the network quickly and easily. There will be no walled garden. There will be nothing preventing you from getting to anything you want including Google searches, streaming audio and video, large files and more. Of course, Intel will be building a WiMAX chipset for inclusion in any notebook and any Internet appliance. In fact, Intel's vision extends to game devices, navigation systems and perhaps even items such as dog collars.
You will be able to buy a combination device that will enable you to use the Sprint CDMA network for voice and WiMAX for data. Or you will be able to buy a device that will enable you to use the Sprint EV-DO network for broadband data while the Clearwire network is being rolled out. When you are not in a city that has WiMAX, you will be able to use the existing Sprint high-speed network. My guess is that the existing Sprint network will have speeds and coverage that is so much better that people will wonder why they bothered with WiMAX. But that, too, will be due to the wave of hype in advance of the system.
We are being promised a fully open network, voice and data (VoIP on WiMAX), that will "deliver four times the throughput of other technologies at one-tenth the cost," according to Barry West, the then President of Sprint's Xohm 4G business unit that is now a part of Clearwire. Well, if you start adding up what Clearwire has spent plus what Sprint has spent, plus the new funding put into this new company, you end up with billions in costs. By the time they are done, they will be nowhere close to one-tenth of the cost of existing 3G systems. Consider this: To cover 75 percent of the U.S. population (not land mass) in the new 700 MHz band, you will need about 22,000 cell sites. To cover this same population at 2.5 GHz, which is where the Clearwire system is being built, you will need 65,000 cell sites.
WiMAX is not a bad technology. The current version has not been well designed for true mobility. It is a 3G wireless technology and it will be used in many places where there is no infrastructure available today. However, in an environment where there are three established broadband networks (soon to be four with T-Mobile joining the fray), I am not sure I would want to invest the billions it will take to build this system, especially when 4G technologies such as LTE and UMB are less than two years away from being deployed.
One final note here--no matter what is claimed, wireless bandwidth is shared bandwidth. A truly open network without any limitations as to who can download what and when could mean that some customers will have very slow connections while the kids next door stream their videos onto their devices. I wonder what those who believe Clearwire has to succeed because Craig McCaw, Sprint, Intel, and Goggle will make it succeed, will say when it doesn't.

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seized over $1.7 million in illicit digital asset proceeds in the three months from March to May 2023, a new official public filing shows.
Globally, law enforcement agencies have stepped up their game and are now rooting out criminals who have relied on digital assets to commit crimes or launder their illicit proceeds. The Department of Justice (DOJ) holds the record with its $3.6 billion seizure of the proceeds of the 2016 Bitfinex hack.
In the August 17 filing, the FBI revealed that it’s also been cracking down on ‘crypto’ crime in its own way. In the three months to May, the bureau recovered $800,000 in Ether, $469,000 in the Dai stablecoin, $307,000 in Tether, $147,000 in BTC, and $20,000 in Monero.
Binance exchange accounted for over $400,000 of the seized funds. This includes $110,000 and $139,000 in USDT seized from Thi Han Tun and Debojyoti Dey Dijendra Dey, respectively.
Binance’s links to criminal entities is nothing new. Various reports have revealed that CEO and founder Changpeng Zhao encourages his employees to pursue profits at any cost, even when the tactics violate compliance requirements. Regulators, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), have also filed charges against it.
However, the exchange insists it’s strict with its Know Your Customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) programs and partners with authorities to curb digital asset crime.
“Binance actively collaborates with law enforcement agencies worldwide—this includes identifying funds connected to criminal activities to help thwart bad actors,” a spokesperson from the exchange told one media outlet.
“We take pride in being a responsible member of the cryptocurrency community and are committed to playing our role in combating crimes that victimize cryptocurrency users globally,” he added.
Of the FBI’s captures, a $469,000 DAI seizure and a $463,000 Ethereum seizure in the Eastern District of Virginia were its largest.
The bureau’s exploits are the latest reminder that digital assets are no longer a crime haven. With advanced blockchain analytics tools making it easier to trace the criminals and the continued investment by authorities in crypto crime units, the blockchain is the last place a criminal wants to hide.
Additionally, seizing digital assets is now possible and easy with digital asset recovery. Contrary to popular belief, digital assets, once lost, can be recovered through a legal process. The BSV blockchain is the first to enable digital asset recovery, in line with its commitment to being legally compliant—but it certainly won’t be the last. This recovery goes beyond crime and can be used to recover tokens lost through the passing of a loved one or a custodian, the loss of private keys, and more.
Follow CoinGeek’s Crypto Crime Cartel series, which delves into the stream of groups—from BitMEX to Binance, Bitcoin.com, Blockstream, ShapeShift, Coinbase, Ripple,
Ethereum, FTX and Tether—who have co-opted the digital asset revolution and turned the industry into a minefield for naïve (and even experienced) players in the market.
