INTERFACE Q+A: Connecting Our Car to the Internet of Things
Over the last few years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved from a futurist buzzword into a multi-industry endeavor that engineers across the world are priming for. At its core, IoT is the interconnecting of physical devices, electronic systems, and global infrastructures into a universal, constantly-updating network.
Vehicles, of course, will be a fundamental component. Directing our integration into this massive connective shift is Mark Zeinstra, leader of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) Group at Faraday Future. We spoke with him about what this undertaking means, his past innovations, and his vision for the future of automotive internet.
Zeinstra examines a prototype instrument panel display cluster – because in-car displays encounter ever-changing viewing environments, they are held to a much more rigid quality standard than everday televisions and computer screens.
For those who may not know, what is the Internet of Vehicles?
It still remains something undefined, since most of the industry is still at the precipice of truly pursuing it. I see IoV as the convergence of cars into the Internet of Things, and the connection of every consumer-facing electronic in a vehicle with the internet.
"I see IoV as…the connection of every consumer-facing electronic in a vehicle with the internet."
What is the primary focus of our IoV team?
We're connecting the 20-odd consumer electronics in our vehicles to each other and to the internet. Right now, cars aren't really a part of the Internet of Things. Automobiles are relegated to using narrowly-designed, proprietary applications that are quickly outdated. We want our vehicles to receive unhampered information from – and share information with – the true internet, at large.
Can you offer examples of electronics being integrated into FF vehicles?
I can only say so much until we unveil our first vehicle…but these electronics include screens, microphones, cameras, controllers, USB hubs, wireless chargers, and more. We are working closely with our other internal teams and external suppliers to ensure that these components are integrated holistically and can effortlessly communicate with one another.
The software between these features are being engineered by our partners in Beijing, Silicon Valley, and our in-house User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) teams in Los Angeles. It's the IoV team's responsibility to merge these systems into a single, elegant in-car network.
A prototype wireless antennae is tested alongside our infotainment center. Because our vehicles will communicate with the internet – and potentially each other – having a powerful, reliable connection is a must.
How has working alongside FF Design and UI/UX teams influenced your approach?
Because all of our teams are working so closely, we've been blessed with unique perspectives and concepts that we never could have considered in a vacuum.
One example is our approach to digital displays. There are automotive regulations in place that ban reflections on windshields caused by the light and images emitted from in-car electronic screens. Which makes sense! Think of how distracting it would be to see a movie that your passenger is watching, projected upside-down and obscuring the road in front of you.
Because of this regulation, display screens traditionally have this awkward plastic "hood" overtop of them to restrict any potential reflection. It's aesthetically unfortunate, but has been a necessity. Our Design team, however, asked if we could do away with this hood.
I never considered it. It was a challenge, but eventually we developed a beautiful anti-reflective screen with the help of our display experts – who joined us from Apple, Microsoft, and Nokia. With that simple innovation, we unlocked a whole new range of freedom for our interior design and UI/UX teams.
You've had an illustrious career before joining FF. Where did it begin?
After getting my degree in electrical engineering from Western Michigan University, I began my career at Prince Corporation. It was a very innovative company, responsible for a lot of industry firsts – they created the first cup holders, lit vanity mirrors, and floor consoles to be built into automobiles.
What auto industry firsts did you have hand in?
A universal garage door opener, called HomeLink, was a major one. If you've ever seen three small buttons in a car's overhead console, it is based around a technology that my former team engineered.
Garage door openers used to be so inconvenient. They were awkward, cheaply built, and constantly falling off your visor. There was clearly room for refinement. Integrating a solution directly into a vehicle and designing it to be universal and trainable was an unprecedented concept at the time.
Within three or four years, almost every automaker in the world was implementing our product. It was incredible to see a small passion project built on a workbench in Holland, Michigan evolve into a multimillion-dollar industry necessity in such a short period of time.
You were also instrumental to the the invention of Bluetooth Hands-Free phone calls?
Yes! Bluetooth phone integration was an interesting challenge. It was an invention that ideally shouldn't have had to exist – but, despite all of the PSAs detailing the risks of calling while driving, it soon became clear that people were inclinded to do it all the same.
It eventually became less about trying to alter drivers' habits, and more about altering our vehicles around drivers' habits. If people are going to talk and drive, period, then we have to enable them to do so as safely as possible.
There were some growing pains when engineering solutions. Early on, we tried to integrate a static phone transceiver directly into the car visor – kind of like the "car phones" you could find in the '80s. It quickly became clear, however, that people preferred to use their mobile devices exclusively.
"It eventually became less about trying to alter drivers' habits, and more about altering our vehicles around drivers' habits."
What big lessons did you learn while developing Bluetooth Hands-Free calling?
I learned how much faster the tech industry evolves than the automotive one.
Adopting this innovation was a huge risk. Bluetooth wasn't standard in cell phones at that point, and many carmakers didn't want to incorporate it until it was universally established. It's daunting to manufacture 500,000 vehicles with a technology that only 10% of customers could actually use.
However, since automobiles traditionally take several years from development to production, you typically have to think forward and consider what technologies will be widely utilized in 4-5 years' time.
That's actually what I love about working at Faraday Future – we're a technology-first car company. We're looking at emerging innovations from a number of industries and are ambitiously integrating them into our first and future fleets.
"You typically have to think forward and consider what technologies will be widely utilized in a 4-5 years' time."
What drives your continued pursuit of connected systems – and the Internet of Vehicles?
Honestly, when things are connected, it just makes everything so much simpler…it makes it easier to keep up-to-date on my family, and it affords me this newfound peace of mind.
For example, I have an apartment here in Los Angeles – but, using Amazon Alexa, I can control electronics in my house in Michigan and make sure that the security system is active and the lights are on.
Automobiles can be an integral part of this network of assurances. If traffic's bad, for example, my car can alert my coworkers that I'm running late. If someone dents my vehicle while it's parked, it can take a snapshot of its environment and identify the car responsible.
In the future, how will IoV ultimately lead to improved driver safety?
If our cars can communicate obstacles and issues to one another, then we'll all be that much better off.
For instance, if a driver half a mile up the highway slips on black ice, then every other car can adjust accordingly – immediately and automatically. There will no longer be pileups caused by unseen obstacles or hampered reaction times. With car-to-car communication, the benefits are literally limitless.
At Faraday Future, we're engineering our vehicles to eventually integrate into a network like this…because that's the world that we want to live in, and we aren't waiting around for someone to make it for us. This company's philosophy aligns with the future I envision: a safe, connected, efficient one. That's why I am here – and that's why I love it.

Astro Boy
August 26, 2004 - Dr. Tenma's son has died. Instead of shedding more tears or seeking out some ladies to procreate he opted to replace his boy by creating a robot... in black vinyl underpants. We suppose that's what any good futuristic scientist in mourning would do.
Astro Boy Blasts Off
August 17, 2004 - Astro Boy, Tezuka's seminal anime icon, is making his first big budget videogame debut in the aptly titled Astro Boy for PlayStation 2 and Game Boy Advance.
Astro Boy Preview
July 7, 2004 - His habit of wearing only tight vinyl underwear and big red boots that leave little to the imagination is super creepy, but his robot powers are arousing. Whatever is a gamer to do? Fear not, we set aside the moral implications of flying around in the pants of a cybernetic pedophilic icon to find out whether Astro Boy would shoot us to the stars or not. Calm down, we only kid. Despite his boyish charm, Astro is considered to be the grandfather of modern Japanese animation. His quirky characteristics, unique personality and vast array of heavy weaponry made him a role-model for hundreds and even thousands of characters, shows and films. So why is he so popular?
Pre-E3 2004: Sega Sneak Peek
May 5, 2004 - Stealth lock picking skills are useful for both thieves and video game editors. Thanks to our ability to move silently in jumpsuits and the fact that Mary Jane Irwin is a master of unlocking, IGN was able to crack into Sega's secret files to learn about nearly a dozen titles from Sega's E3 lineup. While a couple of secret nuggets remain locked behind an impenetrable vault (with Cerberus-like Tails guarding the entrance), this represents the majority of Sega's entertainment titles to be shown next week at E3.
Astro Boy Video Interview
May 5, 2004 - Recently Sega invited IGN over to its office to sit down and chat with Mineko Okamura, the producer on Sonic Team's latest project Astro Boy. In Japan, the cleverly named Astro Boy, with his rocket-powered feet, is just about as popular as Mickey Mouse is (or was) over here. And with the recent arrival of more and more Astro Boy stateside (he's got his own TV show here), you're going to be seeing a lot more of him later this 2004. In the following interview we discuss Astro Boy on the PlayStation 2 with Okamura-san, who is producing the title with Sonic Team. This is her first video interview, and IGN Insider's Fran Mirabella had the lucky opportunity to talk with her about the project. She even speaks in English, quite decently we might add! So, kick back and listen as Okamura-san gives you the low-down in this 10-minute, one-on-one interview.
Astro Boy Soundtrack
April 7, 2004 - Sega's Japanese sound studio, Wave Master, announced a soundtrack to last month's PlayStation 2 Astro Boy: Tetsuwan Atom. The soundtrack will be released to Japan only on 4/7 for the price of 2500 yen.
Now Playing in Japan
March 24, 2004 - Are you a big import gamer? Does Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas do nothing for you while Angel's Feather and Oshiete Popotan have been on your eyes for the past few months? Then you've followed the right link! This weekly section on IGN will keep you up to date on what games were released over the previous week in Japan. If you want to keep up to date on the import scene, be sure and check back every Monday. The following gameswere released between 03.15.04 and 03.21.04. Click on the name to see all of IGN's current coverage on the title.
Astro Boy Update
March 22, 2004 - We're big time fans of Astro Boy. We're also big time import gamers. So, when Astro Boy was released the Japanese PS2 this past Thursday, you can imagine how excited we were, despite middling reviews from Japanese magazines. Perhaps that enthusiasm clouded our vision while playing through the game for our initial impressions late last week. Now, having cleared the game, our opinion from then has flip-flopped. It's often said that games based off of licensed characters are no good, and Astro Boy, sadly, continues this tradition.
Astro Boy Playtest
March 19, 2004 - The Game Boy Advance adaptation of Astro Boy was such a success (well, critically, at least) that we couldn't wait to get our hands on Sega's PS2 version. A few months following the portable version, Sega has delivered the Sonic Team (formerly United Game Artists) developed console title to Japan. So how does it stack up to the GBA title?
Gaming Life in Japan
March 17, 2004 - The release of Monster Hunter marked the next step in Sony Computer Entertainment's Online gaming program for the PS2. Combined with Final Fantasy XI, Nobunaga's Ambition Online, Resident Evil Outbreak, Z Gundam and Minna no Golf Online, this game helps to form a strong name-filled lineup of Online-playable titles, most of which have managed sales in the hundreds of thousands of copies. Even with strong sales, though, it's hard to predict the future of PS2 Online gaming at this point. To get some insight into where things stand in the Online gaming world, Weekly Famitsu did one of its regular surveys of developers and users. Some insights from that survey, below. In addition to this, this week's Gaming Life in Japan feature has quick looks at Metal Wolf Rev and Sakurazakai Shouboutai, twenty new high resolution television commercials (including two Zelda commercials that you'll want to download and keep forever) and a hot (and this time real) babe.
Astro Boy Trailer
February 19, 2004 - Two minutes of 10,000 horsepower.
Yuji Naka Video Interview
January 27, 2004 - While at Sega's recent Sonic Heroes Launch Party in downtown San Francisco, IGN had the privilege of sitting down with Yuji Naka, known best for creating the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He's also created titles such as Phantasy Star Online, Samba de Amigo and Nights into Dreams, amongst others. While at the party, his next release, Astro Boy, was announced. IGNPS2's Jeremy Dunham had the opportunity to fire off a few questions to Mr. Yuji Naka, and while time was short, he was able to pose the most curious of questions about Astro Boy, advancements in game design over the course of his 20 year career, and the future of his beloved franchises. This is a can't-miss video interview.
More Astro Boy Details
January 26, 2004 - As IGN first broke a few hours ago, Sega of America announced that it would be bringing the classic series Astro Boy to the PlayStation 2 later this year. Though our announcement was made before the show actually began, representatives for Sega still had plenty to say after the fact:
Sega Reveals 2004 Lineup
January 26, 2004 - At Sega of America's Sonic Heroes Launch party, held at Action Theater in San Francisco, Ca.'s Metreon, the well-loved Japanese company revealed the first three new games of its 2004 lineup.
Astro Boy Announced For U.S.
January 26, 2004 - Sega of America today announced that well-respected game designer Yuji Naka (Sonic the Hedgehog, Nights, Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg) is embarking on new game exclusive for the PS2 based on the classic Japanese hero Astro Boy.
Hands On Astro Boy PS2
December 1, 2003 - We try out this Sonic Team title. New pics of the Havok Engine at work.
Astro Boy from Sonic Team
November 30, 2003 - The makers of Sonic and Phantasy Star bring the world's strongest boy to life on PS2.
TGS 2003: PS2 Astro Boy
September 26, 2003 - Hitmaker brings the boy to 3D.

Guymon to plead guilty to voting two times
Local man will admit voting twice, prosecutor says
A Mitchell man plans to admit voting twice in the June school board election.
Craig Guymon, 54, has agreed to plead guilty to one count of voting more than once in an election, a felony, according to Davison County State's Attorney Jim Miskimins.
In exchange for Guymon's guilty plea, prosecutors have agreed not to make a recommendation at Guymon's sentencing hearing.
"We'll leave the sentence to the discretion of the judge," Miskimins said.
Guymon and his attorney, Ron Volesky, will be free to recommend whatever sentence they think is appropriate at a change of plea hearing scheduled for later this month.
Guymon is accused of voting twice -- first by absentee ballot early in the day on Election Day, June 4, and then later by normal ballot at the polling place. Absentee ballots were allowed until 3 p.m. on Election Day.
Poll workers found Guymon's name in the poll book and then later discovered an absentee ballot with Guymon's name.
He faces a maximum penalty of two years in prison and a $4,000 fine.
Guymon has unsuccessfully run for school board positions multiple times, but he was not a candidate in the June election. Instead, he supported candidates Rod Hall and Tara Volesky -- wife of Guymon's attorney, Ron Volesky -- but they lost in a four-way race for two seats. The winning candidates were Deb Olson and Rick Johnson.
Guymon is locally infamous for his sometimes bizarre behavior, including calling his opponents "spineless jellyfish" in a past school board debate, maintaining a website devoted to his opinions called The Book of Guymon, and sending postal mailers to all Mitchell residents claiming that Catholics are conspiring to manipulate the city.

Just like to hear more about how the last name Drumm changed. I also have the true recipe and Spencers do not taste the same. Also trying to figure out some of the Drumm Family tree.I'm not sure how my name comes up with West Palm Beach under it. I still live in Sebastian, FL.
We Hope to have the cookies online (under a different name) with the actually last name that was given our family. We might even tell the whole story surrounding how the name was changed "twice" in the Drum family !! Interesting story.
Thank you

We'll be looking for Drums sugar cookies on line. I've been hooked since I was a little guy in the 1950s and lived in Painted Post. Maybe we Texans won't secede after all if we can still get Drumm's cookies! Michael Bierwiler / Texas writer / November Snow, The Color of Darkness, Uneven Ground

Although I am only 23 I have been eating these heavenly cookies since I was a little girl living in corning. My mom and I would walk to the food mart once a week and would always come home with at least one package of them. After leaving corning I would only have them once in awhile, but I never forgot how amazing they are. Then when I moved out of state it saddened me tgo know I could only buy them at home. Then when I heard food mart closed I thought id never get my favorite cookies again. Until visiting family I was at miniers and saw them. I now look for them as soon as I get into town.
While its kind of a nice and exciting treat to get these cookies, I would love to have them and share them with my friends down south. If anyone finds it in their heart to share the recipe, I would love you forever and might even pay for it, so please email at [email protected] if you want to make a young girl very happy!

Drumm Sugar Cookies
4 cups sugar
1 cup butter
6 eggs
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 teaspoons fresh ground/grated nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons pure vanilla
2 cups milk
10 cups flour
Cream together sugar and butter. Add eggs, spices, vanilla, and milk. Mix. Add flour slowly. Refrigerate dough at least one hour. Roll on a floured board about 1/4-inch thick and cut with a 3-inch cookie cutter (I use round). Sprinkle with raw sugar, if you like. Bake on greased cookie sheet (or use parchment paper) at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool. They get their distinct flavor after about an hour (it is not there when the cookies are hot)

A place worth seeing.
Sao Miguel, Azores, Portugal.
Have I been living under an igneous rock? How had I never been to the Azores until last week? The facility of the whole thing was boggling. To think that one moment I could be cruising along the Boston harbor front and not 7 hours later plunging into a natural hot spring pool in a jungle in EUROPE…well that would just be asking too much of the universe. Turns out it's not at all an outlandish request, it's entirely possible and even better than I had imagined. This paradise is readily accessible, dynamic and beautiful, cheap and cheerful, and what's more, the people there speak the most intoxicating language in the world: a very shwishy European Portuguese.
A 4 hr and 20 minute direct and painless flight from Boston carried my adventurous friend Char and me to Ponta Delgada, capitol of the Azorean archipelago, located on the…

The Waterloo of "l'Intellectuel français"
To be sure, Le Monde did publish the other day a piece by Olivier Roy, a specialist in political Islam, to which I linked previously. But in France, to be a specialist is almost a disqualification to speak as an "intellectual." An intellectual is one who has risen above his or her specialty, if any, to acquire a quasi-priestly authority to pronounce on n'importe quoi -- and as often as not, to say n'importe quoi about it. But I wonder if this sort of rootless speculation has any purchase on the French audience today. Perhaps a piece like this in Le Monde is simply a throwback to the day when large numbers of people hungered to know what Sartre or Camus thought about the events of the day. Badiou I gather can still muster a coterie of youthful admirers. And Le Monde evidently wanted to cover certain bases: the old new Left, the psychoanalytic camp (and a representative of women), the old Nouveaux Philosophes (and at least they didn't turn to BHL), and the "radical" guru of the hour. But what do we learn from their musings? Too little to justify the time spent reading them, I'm afraid.

I think you nailed it. That is the difference in the French context between the "intellectuel", heir to indignation and bearer of the torch, and the berated and reviled "expert", difficult to follow because such is reality when you look at it, and always suspicious of a lack of "vision".

I may have the title wrong. The article I have in mind appeared in L'Arc in the 70s. I may also have the argument wrong. It was a long time ago. But as I recall, the gist of it was that the "general intellectual" was being replaced by a "specific intellectual," that is, a specialist in some defined subject.
- February 22, 2011 at 10:42 AM
You are right on these old fashioned "intellectuals", I doubt that anyone under 40 really cares about what these persons have to say, but did you ever consider the hypotheses that le Monde wants to offer some fun to the readers? "la vieillesse est un naufrage"...

Foucault, l'intellectuel spécifique
Etre intellectuel, c'était être un peu la conscience de tous. (...) Il y a bien des années qu'on ne demande plus à l'intellectuel de jouer ce rôle. (...) Les intellectuels ont pris l'habitude de travailler non pas dans l'universel, l'exemplaire, le juste-et-le-vrai-pour-tous, mais dans des secteurs déterminés, en des points précis où les situaient soit leurs conditions de travail, soit leurs conditions de vie (le logement, l'hôpital, l'asile, le laboratoire, l'université, les rapports familiaux ou sexuels). Ils y ont gagné à coup sûr une conscience beaucoup plus concrète et immédiate des luttes. Et ils ont rencontré là des problèmes qui étaient spécifiques, non universels, différents souvent de ceux du prolétariat ou des masses. Et cependant, ils s'en sont rapprochés, je crois pour deux raisons : parce qu'il s'agissait de luttes réelles, matérielles, quotidiennes, et parce qu'ils rencontraient souvent, mais dans une autre forme, le même adversaire que le prolétariat, la paysannerie ou les masses (les multinationales, l'appareil judiciaire et policier, la spéculation immobilière) ; c'est ce que j'appellerais l'intellectuel spécifique par opposition à l'intellectuel universel.
(Michel Foucault, Dits et écrits II, 1976-1988, Gallimard, Paris, 2001.)

"Intellectual" is an adjective, not a noun. "intellectuals" as a special class of peope is absurd. But we get it. The elites at Le Monde , and the Left in France, have this ridiculous idea that they are smarter, know more, and have the wisdom to understand these complex issues, even though they don't have the knowledge.
They totally misread what was happening in Egypt, and what the likely consequences of destabilizing one of the keytones of stability in the region would bring. They never questioned who was behind the movement, where the funding came from, and what was the long and short term goal.
A wiser position to take might have been, to present a panel of people with expertise on the Middle East, with different perspectives and fields of knowledge, and different political points of view.
Looking to a bunch of elitist Leftists looking through the same lens, adds little.

Expertise, specificity and depth are all good things. However, there is also a reaction against this ever increasing tendency in academia which produces specialists whose broader culture is often woeful. In fact, so imbued do we become with the belief in the sole scientific validity of the particular that the universal is lost: It's possible for example (not in Roy's case I am sure) to have tremendous knowledge of Arab political history since WWII without general knowledge about Arabic philosophy in the middle ages and or European political philosophy for example. As micro-fields of knowledge are expanding themselves into immense universes, there's a feeling that it's not intellectually acceptable to have strive for a synoptic view. Specialists guard their territory jealousy from the incursions of interlopers they like to call amateurs. However, there is another point of view of those who feel that specialization does not result in useful knowledge. The terrain of the intellectual is precisely to rise above the specific since there is a sense that something important is lost from too great a level of particularity or specialization. I am surprised in some way to hear this from you Art since Tocqueville was anything but an academic specialist; wasn't he more of an amateur intellectual in the sense that you seem to oppose? Wasn't it his genius to have discovered something critical about the nature of the French Revolution that was invisible to those who had lived through it as well as to the specialist historians of his and subsequent times? Yes, his research entered intimately into details, but wasn't his vision focussed on much larger questions? Also isn't there a case to be made that Foucault himself was an interdisciplinary amateur, an intellectual, interested in the particular, but looking for answers to questions that a specialist would never pose?

Mark, I take your point and have often argued myself against narrow specialism. But Tocqueville is a case in point: he didn't simply pronounce about America, as so many of his contemporary "intellectuals" did; he studied it. He knew whereof he spoke. As Eliot said of poets, "there is no substitute for genius."
- February 22, 2011 at 2:22 PM
Art, thanks for the grammar lesson. I have my own OED so I am well aware of the academic definition.
I am talking about the 21st century, and the pretension of people calling themselves "intellectuals" , In France even listing it as an actual profession.
My point about elitism, and elites who think they know better than you I remains.
I agree to a certain extent about "experts". There are many people outside Academia who have devoted their lives to in depth study and are good sources for information and opinion.

I consider myself an "intellectual" without regarding myself as better than anyone else. I think you misunderstand my comments on intellectuals: it's the pretense that an "intellectual" can talk about anything that I object to. There are people, as Mark points out, who take a more general approach to the world than others, but there must still be some content to their knowledge claims beyond a generalized claim to be able to pronounce on any subject. It's the latter that I object to, not to the title of "intellectual" as such.

It's not a regular occurrence that you find yourself in need of a replacement Rack & Pinion for your automobile. Your Volvo dealership isn't the only place to find the highest quality repair parts to fix your 760. Volvo automobile owners have become used to a certain level of sporty handling when driving their 760 around town. Anyone who owns a Volvo knows that when it comes to fixing their automobile only the most superior replacement parts will do.
If steering weren't important, then all of our roads would be completely straight and there would be no need to turn. But that's not the world we live in, and it's of utmost importance that you preserve the steering rack and pinion on your Volvo 760. As you turn your steering wheel, the steering gearbox on the Volvo 760 rack and pinion your power steering pump sends pressurized hydraulic fluid to the steering gear box. That fluid then assists pistons and valves inside the steering rack and pinion to move the tie rods in synch with the steering wheel; ultimately directing you the way you want it to go.
When your Volvo requires a new replacement Rack & Pinion, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Volvo 760 part for your needs.

Tulane's football staff searched virtually everywhere to find a kicker capable of helping the Green Wave's unstable special teams.
They found help across the Wilson Center.
Trevor Simms, who recently transferred from West Virginia to play baseball for coach David Pierce, etched himself onto Green Wave memorabilia for years to come when he booted the first kick in Yulman Stadium history through end zone — and even split the uprights.
It was the peak of a whirlwind week. Less than seven days removed from not even entering Tulane's football locker room, Simms was the focus of a moment Tulane fans had waited nearly 40 years to see.
"It felt really good," Simms said. "I had a lot of adrenaline going. First college kickoff ever, and you get on that opening of the stadium and the crowd's going crazy for the very first play of the new stadium. I was able to kick it through the uprights, so it was really exciting."
Simms' impact could be even greater if Tulane's field-goal kicking continues to flounder. Freshman Andrew DiRocco has already missed kicks of 21 and 27 yards this season, costing the Green Wave critical points in red zone situations.
While coach Curtis Johnson said he is sticking with DiRocco for now and declined to even publicly discuss Simms' potential on field goals, Simms said he's begun working on his accuracy in case the coaches call his name.
"They've hinted towards it (giving him a shot at field goals), but no definite questions," Simms said. "If DiRocco does his job, he should be able to keep it. If he doesn't do his job, they may have an opportunity for me to take his spot."
Regardless of how he's utilized, the rapid change of circumstances shouldn't faze Simms. Considering his journey to Tulane, he's accustomed to adjusting on the fly. Tulane is Simms' fourth school since 2012, and the Green Wave is his second football program.
And one of the few steady figures during his travails is Pierce, who was named Tulane's baseball coach in June and originally recruited Simms to pitch for him at Rice in 2011.
But when Pierce left his post as Rice's pitching coach to become head coach at Sam Houston State before the 2012 season, Simms said he no longer felt comfortable with the Rice baseball staff and transferred to Weatherford College, 30 miles west of Forth Worth, Texas. It was a particularly difficult decision, considering he was offered a full scholarship by Owls football coach David Bailiff — not as a kicker, but to play wide receiver.
Conversations with pro scouts encouraged Simms to stick with baseball, so he left FBS football behind for junior college.
"I left Rice because I actually had just started pitching my senior year of high school, so I needed some development," Simms said. "When coach Pierce left, they moved an infielder coach as the pitching coach, and I wasn't really getting any development that I needed, so I left to go get some of the best pitching coaching from Weatherford Junior College under coach (Flint) Wallace."
As a pitcher and center fielder for the Coyotes, Simms played in 55 games, earning an offer from newly minted Big 12 program West Virginia. In 2014, he played 28 games for the Mountaineers but still wasn't satisfied.
Meanwhile, with Simms traveling the country in search of the right coaching fit, Pierce recruited his brother, Jason Simms, to pitch at SHSU and helped him become one the Bearkats' most reliable arms, tossing 184 innings to help reach consecutive NCAA tournaments.
So, with Pierce at Tulane and Trevor Simms searching for a place to spend his final year of baseball eligibility (and possibly get back into football), the choice was obvious.
"The kid wanted to play football and baseball, and he's ineligible for baseball this year, so it made all of the sense in the world to get him committed 100-percent to football," Pierce said. "He's got a golden leg and can kick off and kick field goals. Once he became eligible, it was a no-brainer to at least let him attempt it."
But as the Green Wave football season ramped up, Simms was still fighting to gain eligibility and catch on to Johnson's radar. To address the lack of a powerful leg on kickoffs, Johnson used 6-foot-5 defensive end and Nigeria native Ade Aruna in Tulane's season-opening loss at Tulsa.
While Aruna performed well in the role, he strained his groin and was unable to kick the next week, opening the opportunity for Simms, who was cleared by compliance to play football.
"The baseball coach was bragging about this guy who could play football well," Johnson said. "I was told he was a receiver, someone else told me he was a quarterback, come to find out he was a kicker. He kicked a couple off and we were like, 'Wow!' He finally got eligible and he's on. I owe the baseball coach one."
After years of football players contributing to the Green Wave baseball program, the relationship between the teams appears to still be strong, even under new leadership, and could help fill a position of need for a football team working to bounce back from an 0-2 start.
"I just wanted to make CJ aware that he had a good leg on campus," Pierce said. "So far we have a good working relationship, and this is what it's about because we are helping the kid out and helping two teams out instead of just one."

It reminds me a lot of Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, if you've ever played that. It's a coop third person shooter that sports several different classes (Warframes), weapons, and abilities. You run different types of missions on different planets with up to 4 people and you gain various rewards that allow you to craft new characters and weapons.
It's true that the game is a giant grind. You're always working towards something, be it your next class, weapon, or planet. That's the incentive. If you like constantly grinding towards bigger and better stuff, you'll probably like it. Like right now, I've got a crossbow that fires rapid explosive bolts that I'm leveling while I'm gathering the materials for a dual-laser + mine launching rifle. Always something to do.
Yes, there is an optional PVP mode. However, it's very new and not many people play it. I've not heard good things about it, although I've never actually tried it.
I myself don't find it to be much of a grind because I enjoy the gameplay a lot. It's what kept me playing Mass Effect 3 for 700+ hours, and I could see myself spending a couple hundred on this one.

It's a F2P game that I can best sum it up as Ninja Gaiden in space. It's a great third person hack and slash shooter game. Keep in mind though that it takes a bit of a grind to get a lot of stuff done but it's fun and it's very addicting to unlock and make all the different frames and then level them. Everything can be done for free too except more slots for warframes. Those you have to buy with platinum which in turn costs real life money lol But it's the only thing that you would NEED to pay anything for.

My friend who played it on ps4, was trashing it last night lol. Made me laugh. I'll definitely play, but I don't expect it to be good. I just expect it to give me something to play until Destiny.

The gameplay takes a bit to get used to. It's a good grind just like all F2Play games the graphics aren't bad. If griding for items without paying for them doesn't bore you or keeps you entertained then this should be a fun little time waster for you.
Grinding for them is actually more fun than buying the, after playing a considerable amount of time a year ago I went and bought a founders pack but once I had ingame money I quickly lost all interest in the game. Grinding keeps you playing instant gratification isn't very gratifying at all.

The FDIC Quarterly Banking Profile for the first quarter continues to show increasing loan exposures to commercial real estate lending including construction and development loans.
The FDIC Quarterly Banking Profile for the fourth quarter of 2016 shows increasing exposures to construction and development loans, which are potential problems for these 14 community banks.
While nearly 40% of California emerges from the drought, generational farmers in the state are still concerned that regulatory changes will lead them to sell to investor groups.
However, it is a risky trade as management could fail to turn it around.
The FDIC has released positive data for community banks, but these 14 banks have rallied too far too fast.

Donald Sterling calls league charge 'illegal'
Banned Clippers owner objects to league's effort to terminate his ownership and claims he has received offers of over $2.5 billion for the team.
More: Sterling banned for life | Latest updates | NBA news
USA Today and other outlets have received a 32-page document from banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling filed Tuesday in response to the NBA's charges in pursuit of termination of his ownership, claiming that the NBA's efforts are "illegal." Last week reports surfaced that Sterling had authorized his wife Shelly to negotiate the forced sale of the Clippers. Now Sterling claims that he's received offers of more than $2.5 billion.
Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling said the NBA's efforts to terminate his ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers are "illegal" and that it would force his family to pay an enormous capital gains tax that would be "egregious," according to his response to NBA charges filed Tuesday.
In a 32-page response to the league, he said he will fight the charges and noted that he has received offers of more than $2.5 billion for the team.
His wife, Shelly Sterling, is planning to file a response to the NBA by midnight Tuesday that strongly asserts her position as an innocent bystander in the league's efforts to strip her family's ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers, a person familiar with the situation told USA TODAY Sports.
via Donald Sterling vows fight, says he has offers of $2.5B.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver has indicated that the league is amiable to the Sterlings selling the team to expedite the process and avoid a legal fight. Instead, it would appear Sterling very much intends to fight the process.
There have been reports of nearly a dozen potential ownership groups in play for the team, including Grant Hill and Anthony Ressler.
The big question will be whether his wife will pursue suit to retain the team, which the NBA has made clear it does not intend to allow. The NBA's vote to terminate the Sterling's ownership of the Clippers is set for June 3.
In response to the document, the NBA released the following statement Tuesday night.
"This evening, the NBA received responses from Donald and Shelly Sterling to the charge to terminate the current ownership interests in the Los Angeles Clippers. The NBA Board of Governors will meet on June 3 at 1 p.m. in New York City to hear and vote upon this matter. Should the Board vote to sustain the charge, the Sterlings' interests in the Clippers will be terminated and the team will be sold."
So basically, "cool story."
Meanwhile, Shelly Sterling released a statement, confirming that she has been authorized to negotiate the sale.

TIPPER TIE offers a variety of air-powered vacuum packaging systems including the Rota-Matic. Designed to reduce total packaging costs with its high speed, smart design and ease of service, the Rota-Matic produces high-integrity vacuum packages with ease.
Maximum throughput is achieved with the Rota-matic's simple operation. Once the product is placed, the Rota-Matic gathers the bag neck, applies a pre-formed clip for a vacuum tight closure and cuts off the excess bag tail. The blower motor directs bag tails into an integrated compartment for easy removal.
Packaging waste is eliminated with the independently valved clipper, which will operate only when a vacuumized product bag passes into the jaws of the clipper.
Servicing the clipper is easy, thanks to a simplified mounting bracket that permits a quick change of the clipping head.
The flexible Rota-Matic may be configured with 8 or 16 rotating vacuum nozzles depending on production needs. All models feature a rotating product table and a specially developed TIPPER Clipper that accommodates a full range of bag types and sizes from 8" to 20."
Constructed primarily of stainless steel and welded throughout, the Rota-matic's robust construction is suitable for operation in harsh environments. Fluted vacuum probes made of Teflon ensure long-lasting performance.
The Rota-Matic can be equipped to use Z or E series TIPPER TIE clips. The Z200 clip is designed for small to mid-size products. Larger, heavier products may be packaged with the E500 or the Z400 – the strongest clip for the most reliable vacuum seal.
The Rota-Matic I is designed for poultry and can vacuum package 16 to 40 pieces per minute. The angled table ensures consistently tight packaging using gravity to help center the bird.
The Rota-Matic III has a flat table and is designed to vacuum package pork shoulders, fresh ground meat chubs, rings, loaves, half and whole hams, cheese and poultry products. It produces a skin-tight vacuum package without any purge at speeds up to 50 packages per minute.
Both models may be ordered as a "Super" Rota-Matic. Ideal for large cavity products, the Super Rota-Matic features larger vacuum nozzles and an optional second pump, enabling fast evacuation of air for maximum production speed.

Informational Brochure.
"We believe that early childhood is a critical time in a child's perception of self, others, the world and God. Our desire is to begin the process of providing children with a Christian world view. "
Teaching the Whole Child
We recognize the physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual aspects of children. Our goal is to offer a full, fun-packed, balanced curriculum sensitive to the needs and abilities of every child in each of these five areas.
Encouraging Educational Readiness
We want to expose children to letters, numbers, colors and shapes in a fun and low pressure approach. We seek to awaken interest and open doors to thinking and learning in a stimulating environment.
Providing a Christian Moral and Spiritual Foundation
Godly teachers model Christian values and communicate them to the children through their attitudes and actions. Children need to see the love of Christ as well as hear about it.
Learning by Doing
God created children to learn and grow through activity. They are full of curiosity and wonder. They explore and discover with their whole body. Our teaching encourages a "hands on" learning experience.

This question has not been answered by one of our experts yet.
