Jeff Luhnow traded Carlos Lee to the Los Angeles Dodgers last week. Lee dilly-dallied and whined about his taxes, so the Dodgers pulled out of the trade.

No matter what else might happen with the Houston Astros this season, the fans should realize one thing: General manager Jeff Luhnow is a genius.

1992 Camry No Spark, Replaced Loads Still Nothing
1992 Camry No Spark, Replaced Loads Still Nothing
Here's the story, everything's been running perfectly, no hiccups, no stalls, no problems starting the car. Pulled away from the apartment complex and started driving down the road without problems. All of a sudden, the car just stops, turns off and I coast into a parking lot close to me. Tried replacing the module, the distributor cap, and the rotor button, but none of these are working. Is there anything else that it could be besides the coil and the distributor itself? I thought maybe a crank or camshaft, but my model doesn't have it according to AutoZone. Already checked fuel and compression, both are fine, need help! Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks everyone.
Mike Gerber
Did you check for a broken timing belt? You can do this easily by removing the distributor cap and cranking the engine. If the rotor spins, the timing belt is intact.
You can check the coil with a digital volt/ohmeter and the specs from any manual. You can download the generation 3 (1992-1996) manual at the top of this forum's home page. Just in case, here's the link:
My guess is the coil. They go often on the first 3 generations of Camry, as these cars rack up a lot of mileage. (You don't say how many miles are on your car.) Also inspect the coil for hairline cracks. When they crack, they short to ground on any metal inside the distributor.
Brian R.
Even if it checks good for resistance, replace the coil. Resistance at 9 V and at 100,000 V are two different things. You can't test the coil at home in a way that mimics running conditions.
Agreed...check the coil. It can even give a spark (barely) and test barely within the spec resistance ranges and still be bad.
I'd highly suggest replacing with another Toyota coil. Aftermarket coils just don't last and they don't have any warranty. Trust me, I've wasted plenty of money learning this.
Good luck!
I have a '92 Camry 2.2L 5SFE (~138k mi) that had a bad coil. It was a Toyota/Denso (don't know for sure if original). It had been missing and losing power after warming up about 10-15 mins. After replacing the coil (which had a crack in the resin, but was testing ok) it no longer developed the missing like it had.
Then on the first longer drive (45mins) on the freeway (with a 10min stop about half way), it started missing a little and started to get worse again. I was able to get to my destination and parked it for the day. When it was cool it was fine again, and I was able to make it home without the symptoms developing again (no stop this time). I think the stop allowed heat to sink into something electrical and cause it to crop up again. I tested the coil again (not while hot unfortunately) and it tested in spec.
I'm wondering if the ignitor/ignition module could be failing when it gets hot in the engine compartment. I am hoping to reproduce the problem so I can test the coil while hot.
Anyone know if there is a way to test the ignitor/ignition module on this vehicle? And if it is only problematic when warm if it would likely be out of spec when cool also?
Brian R.
There is no way for you to test the ignition module unless you replace it with a good one. It is possible that the symptoms are gone and you don't have to do anything. If they reoccur, I would replace the coil again. You didn't say what brand of coil with which you replaced the original DENSO coil. Use only DENSO (or NGK) ignition components.

Thanks Brian. I'm hoping the symptoms don't recur, but like I said it has happened once since I replaced the coil - only MUCH more delayed in the warmup cycle.
Unfortunately, I have a BWD coil from Advance Auto - I know it may not last as long, but shouldn't it at least work for now if it's in specs? Common for new coils in spec to fail only at operating temp?
Do you have to get DENSO from the dealer? On a quick search, I don't find it online.
How likely you think an ignitor/ignition control module is to fail only when warm?
Brian R.
I strongly recommend that you buy a new coil from a Dealer locally or on-line. Give the parts department your VIN and get the part number. You can search for this part number online at any number of Toyota dealers and get a better deal than not shopping around. Sometime, Amazon.com carries these parts, if you can search for the part number. Ask the parts department what brand coil they are using as OEM. DENSO may not be supplying this part any more. I have found that you need to cross-reference the Toyota part number to the manufacturer's (DENSO's?) part number many times to find the part at a store on-line.
If you search for the part online, any 5S-FE 92-96 coil should work. I think they all have the same part number.
Your problem is most likely the coil and not the ignitor.
I don't know what is common for that coil to do, but it is common knowledge that you are looking for trouble if you don't use an OEM coil.
I had I similar problem, I have the same car and it just turned off on me all of sudden while driving, I replaced everything but the coil and distributor. I looked around and found that the wire inside the distributor cap were being cut and moved by the rotor and making contract with the metal inside the cap. I guess u can check the wires outside and the ones inside the cap. let me know if that helps.

YouTube Enlists Help for Music Rights Management
YouTube has just sealed a deal with RightsFlow, a music publishing rights management company. RightsFlow today announced an agreement with YouTube to assist with music rights management. The deal allows YouTube to enlist RightsFlow's help in processing and managing music rights, and it should help the online video company to make rights administration a lot faster and simpler, which would in turn drive royalties for rights-holders, including publishers and songwriters.

HDR 2014: Are they listening?
The 2014 UNDP Global Human Development Report is being launched in Islamabad today. And it seems the authors couldn't have chosen a more befitting theme in the context of Pakistan's ongoing political state of affairs. Titled "Sustaining Human Progress: Reducing Vulnerabilities and Building Resilience?" the 2014 UNDP report has two central themes. First, "that sustainably enhancing and protecting individual choices and capabilities and societal competences are essential". And second, that "human development strategies and policies must consciously aim to reduce vulnerability and build resilience".

UN agency asked to assess damages
ISLAMABAD: The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has formally requested the United Nations Development Organisation (UNDP) to assess damages caused by the recent floods in Punjab, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B). In an exclusive interview with The Express Tribune, NDMA spokesperson and member infrastructure Ahmed Kamal said the authority has sent a letter to UNDP through the Economic Affairs Division (EAD), asking the international agency to carry out a 'damage need assessment' (DNA) in flood-ravaged areas. If it agrees, UNDP will be assisted in carrying out the assessment by relevant national agencies, such as provincial disaster management authorities (PDMAs), agriculture and irrigation departments, he said.

Making Education Work: The Governance Conundrum
The impact of education investments is considered a simple linear function of inputs and outputs in most developing countries, including Pakistan. The measure of performance and the process through which inputs are converted into outputs, and subsequently, outcomes, are seldom discussed. Good governance—in terms of setting up performance benchmarks, systems of monitoring and accountability, and budgeting and distribution formulae—can considerably improve institutional effectiveness and results in the education system, without new inputs.

Blaming The Owners »
I'm very sad that the NBA owners have chosen to cancel the first two weeks of the season. I blame the owners and David Stern. Will Leitch sums it up quite nicely. Here's a portion, the rest is well worth the read.
So here's what the owners are saying to the players: "We've made so many poor spending choices lately that we've lost money, even without having to pay for our own facilities and even as the NBA has grown more popular. And we'd like you to give up enough money to make it almost a certainty that we never lose money again, even if we make all these same mistakes for a second time and the economy never improves."

A HUGE THANK YOU to those of you who donated and helped us raise $1200.00 for our friends!!! We, Gene & Cheryl all thank you for your support. Congratulations to Joe McFadden who was the lucky winner!!!! See you in November!!
Fully Guided Elk, Mule Deer, Antelope, Big Horn Sheep, Black Bear, Moose, and fishing trips for the working population!!! For the trip and hunt of a lifetime, our guided hunts will be like none other. Meet your guide...George Ruf. He has 40 years hunting experience with 15 years in the West, Hunting in various locations such as Canada, Illinois, Georgia, Montana, Colorado, Florida, Alabama, Scotland, just to name a few. All hunts were for various game such as Whitetale deer, wild hogs, black bear, Antelope, Elk, Mule Deer. George has gotten the satisfaction of hunting various game animals and had the thrill to shoot all the animals he set out to harvest. His passion has become the back country of Wyoming and giving other hunters the "once in a lifetime hunt" they too have always wanted. It is the mission of George as your guide to give you the most life changing experience at a reasonable rate. He has turned his passion into not getting rich with money, but getting rich on the excitement of a hunter to do something he maybe thought he could never afford to do, or endure to do. There is one thing for certain, you will push yourself to limits you may not have ever thought you could do, however the difference will be that you will have the guided hunt from a man passionate for what he does, and he is doing it strictly for you!!
Thanks Dad!
George's hunting carreer began at the young age of 9 with the help and encouragement from his father Harry. He attributes his success and admiration for the love of the outdoors and hunting because of his father. For lack of another way to express his gratitude and fond memories of hunting and all the experiences that came with it, Thanks Dad!

Candy Crowley: Romney Was Actually "Right in the Main" On Libya | When National TV Cameras were off
"I heard the president speak at the time. I, sort of, reread a lot of stuff about Libya because I knew we'd probably get a Libya question so I kind of wanted to be up on it," said Crowley. "I knew that the president had said, you know, these acts of terror won't stand. Or, whatever the whole quote was."
"Right after that I did turn around and say, but you're totally correct that they spent two weeks telling us this was about a tape and that that there was this riot outside the Benghazi consulate which there wasn't," Crowley added.
"He was right in the main, I just think he picked the wrong word," Crowley concluded. She went on to say that her instinct forced her to correct Romney even though his "thrust" was correct.

What jumps out immediately is that, 'No religion' is now the biggest category, as a result of large numbers of people switching out from Christianity. What this chart also makes obvious is that very few British people switch religions,. What switching there is seems to mostly be out of religion altogether.
What's more, non-Christians almost all have stayed religious - very few have switched out to non-religion. I guess that's because these people are mostly first or second-generation immigrants, for whom religion forms an important part of their cultural identity.
Now compare the UK chart with one done for the US by Internet Monk.
Some things are similar. Most notably, a lot of people have converted to 'no religion'. Unlike the UK, however, some people move from 'No religion' into a religious group. That hardly ever happens in the UK, and perhaps reflects the social pressures on US individuals to be at least nominally religious.
In the US, there seems to be more switching in general, however. Unlike the UK, there's noticeable switching from Catholic to Protestant (and vice versa), and even back and forth from 'other' religions.
I wonder why this should be?

IIRC, "other" in iMonk's chart is other christian denominations, not other religions. Maybe I'm wrong though.ReplyDelete
Can't help you much on reasons for the data - but I will say that the top graph looks a lot prettier. Maybe just the smoother lines and the bigger labels, but it took me far longer to work out what was going on in the bottom figure.ReplyDelete
Apparently other is 8% total: 0.9% other Christians, 0.7% JWs, 1.7% Mormons, and 4.7% other religions. Just realised I forgot the link to the Internet Monk - that's in now.ReplyDelete
I thought the top one looked a lot better, but it was easier to get a feel for the % of people switching (because you can see the width of the 'no change' pipe as a proportion of the bar.
I think the lower one is clearer, because the the representation is consistently one-dimensional.ReplyDelete
On the upper plot, there's (presumably) a switch between the area-representation of the nodes on the left and right, and the width (presumably?) of the edges between them. Or are the edges to be interpreted as tubes, so that their capacity is the square of their thickness? It's unclear. And because of the (presumable) switch between between area and width, there's no clear connection between the area of a blob and the size of the tube. How do I know if 50% of the left-blob leave their group, for instance?
Here is a bit of pure speculation.ReplyDelete
The lack of an established religion (such as the Church of England) made the United States religion market much more laissez faire and 'poaching' from other churches is derigueur. Couple that with a vestige of the pioneer mindset - if your not happy where you are then go somewhere else - then you end up with labile affiliations.
Powerful infographics!ReplyDelete
I wonder if there is an error in the US graphic. There seems to be no change indicated for Black Protestantism, yet the blue band representing this denomination is narrower than the two blocks it connects, suggesting that there has been some change, but that the lines indicating this change were omitted from the graphic.ReplyDelete
@Keith: When I saw the situation you explained, my assumption was that the top and bottom markers were larger than the column itself in order to receive converts from other faiths. That is, yes, perhaps Black Protestants tended not to convert to other faiths but that other faiths did convert to it. As such, those from other faiths needed somewhere to 'land.' That is why the top and bottom markers are wider than the column itself.ReplyDelete

Factors associated with remission from primary psychosis appear to be also
associated with remission from substance-induced psychosis.
Those factors include better premorbid adjustment, shorter duration of
untreated psychosis, better insight into psychotic symptoms, and lower
severity of psychotic symptoms, according to a report in the October
Schizophrenia Bulletin.
Lead author Carol Caton, Ph.D., told Psychiatric News that the
similarity in factors associated with remission suggest some underlying
neurobiological similarity between primary psychosis and substance-induced
"The predictors for remission in both diagnostic groups were the
same," she said. "That hadn't been documented before. What it
suggests is that whatever the biological mechanism is that causes people to
become psychotic, there must be some similarity whether the psychosis is
primary or substance induced."
She is a professor of clinical public health for psychiatry and
sociomedical science at the Columbia University College of Physicians and
Surgeons and director of the Columbia Center for Homelessness Prevention
In the study, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Caton and
colleagues examined rates and predictors of psychosis remission at one-year
follow-up for 319 patients with a history of recent substance use who were
admitted to the emergency department with psychotic symptoms of recent onset.
Of these, 133 had substance-induced psychosis and 186 had primary
The diagnostic distinction between a primary psychotic disorder and a
psychotic disorder that is substance induced was made using the Psychiatric
Research Interview for Substance and Mental Disorders, an
interviewer-administered research diagnostic instrument developed to assess
psychiatric and substance use comorbidity using DSM-IV criteria.
"This gave us a sample of people who were both psychotic and
substance users and allowed us to look at the differences in remission rates
and predictors for remission between those with primary psychosis and those
with substance-induced psychosis," she said.
At one-year follow-up, 50 percent of patients with primary psychosis were
in remission, compared with 77 percent of patients with substance-induced
psychosis. Premorbid adjustment was assessed using the Positive and Negative
Syndrome Scale.
Caton told Psychiatric News that the higher rate of remission for
substance-induced psychosis was not surprising. But she noted that 23 percent
of those patients had not remitted and continued to be symptomatic, evidence
of the potentially chronic nature of a substance-induced psychosis.
"It underscores the importance of getting people into
treatment," she said. "There is a clinical lore that
substance-induced psychosis is not as serious, but without effective treatment
these people can develop a persistent psychotic disorder. It is not a benign
"We think aggressive, assertive treatment is needed," she said."
That hasn't been a widespread practice. If people are seen in a psych
[emergency department], and their symptoms remit in a day or two with a
drug-free period, they are sometimes released with a referral to a treatment
center. But that doesn't mean the patient follows the referral. We think there
should be more assertive ways to make certain that people get
Caton said that among patients with substance-induced psychosis, the most
common substances involved were, in rank order, cannabis, alcohol, cocaine,
and hallucinogens. A smaller percentage of patients used heroin or other
The same rank order of substances was found for individuals with primary
In 39.6 percent of the substance-induced psychoses, two or more substances
were used, with cannabis and alcohol the most common combination, followed by
alcohol and cocaine, Caton told Psychiatric News.
In the Schizophrenia Bulletin report, Caton and colleagues stated
that the "stress-diathesis model suggests that substance abuse may
precipitate psychosis among some people who would otherwise be vulnerable but
notpsychotic." And they cited research showing that individuals who are
vulnerable to psychosis because of a specific polymorphism of the
catechol-O-methyltransferase gene increase their vulnerability if
they are heavy cannabis users in adolescence.
A second possibility is that psychosis may emerge earlier in
substance-using vulnerable individuals who would otherwise develop the illness
later, they suggested.
"This sets the stage for neuroscience to take over and explore the
underlying causes of substance-induced psychosis," Caton told
Psychiatric News.

This is excellent!
I have one question, on the left side of the legend you say the little white squares, which I thought were sheep, are cattle? I haven't seem a lot of white cattle so I was just wondering if it was a translation thing or if they really were cattle. No biggie though.
This map is beautiful and makes me itch to get back to my own and work through some more of the tutorials so I can learn some of these techniques myself.
Repped and thank you for sharing. I can see this being a featured map.

Have a new idea?
|steve.king says:
I would like to be able to use Location to indicate a type of location rather than a specific location, e.g. a shopping centre without having to say which town. Then I can easily call up my list of shopping centre tasks next time I find myself in a shopping centre - it doesn't matter which town.
Posted at 8:10pm on September 14, 2009
|mehardin says:
a shopping centre tag works great for that. Locations are just tags with GPS coordinates. If you don't want the GPS coordinates, just use the tag.

UK failing to reduce child and youth deaths as quickly as other wealthy countries
Main Point:
The UK has failed to match the gains made in reducing deaths among children and young adults by 17 other high-income countries in the European Union*, Australia, Canada, and Norway (EU15+) in the 38 years since 1970.
Published in:
The Lancet
Study Further:
The findings, published in The Lancet, reveal that despite the UK having been in or near the top 25% (best quartile) for all-cause mortality for children and young people (aged 0–24 years) in 1970, the UK's pace of decline in mortality has fallen significantly behind the EU15+ average over the past four decades. By 2008, the UK had fallen to the worst quartile (bottom 25%) for infants and 1–4 year olds.
Although the UK's young people aged 10–24 now have average mortality compared with those in the EU15+ countries, overall death rates in this age group conceal the UK's poor progress against deaths from non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which were masked by a strong performance in reducing deaths from injuries.
Using national death registry data from the WHO World Mortality Database, Professor Russell Viner from the UCL Institute of Child Health, London, UK and colleagues analysed patterns and causes of death among children and young people (aged 0–24 years) in the UK compared with a group of similar wealthy countries between 1970 and 2008.
Only for injury-related deaths has the UK remained in the best EU15+ quartile over the past 38 years for most age groups.
The UK performance for deaths in infants (younger than 1 year) and children aged 1–9 years has been particularly poor, with an estimated 1035 excess deaths annually for infants in the UK compared with the EU15+ median by 2008.
Deaths from NCDs in all age groups in the UK fell from being roughly equivalent to the EU15+ average in 1970 to the worst quartile by 2008, with about 446 excess deaths from NCDs in the UK, most (280) among young people aged 15–24 years. This was largely due to the contribution of drug misuse disorders in young people aged 10–24 years (1·39 per 100 000 deaths in the UK vs 0·12 per 100 000 in EU15+ countries for 2005–08) and other neuropsychiatric disorders, including epilepsy and cerebral palsy.
"Worsening trends in NCD mortality have cancelled out the benefits of the UK's traditionally low injury mortality", explains Professor Viner. "Demographic change, including increasing birth rates in the UK compared with other EU15+ countries and increasing prevalence of common chronic disorders in children and adolescents could magnify these differences over the next 20 years."** Read more…

Most comprehensive global study to date shows obesity rates climbing worldwide
Main Points:
No country has witnessed a significant decline in obesity prevalence over past three decades.
Published in:
The Lancet
Study Further:
Worldwide, there has been a startling increase in rates of obesity and overweight in both adults (28% increase) and children (up by 47%) in the past 33 years, with the number of overweight and obese people rising from 857 million in 1980 to 2.1 billion in 2013, according to a major new analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013, published in The Lancet.
However, the rates vary widely throughout the world with more than half of the world's 671 million obese individuals living in just ten countries—the USA (more than 13%), China and India (15% combined), Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Egypt, Germany , Pakistan, and Indonesia, and (listed in order of number of obese individuals).

In Czech Republic, mothers or fathers can take up to 4 years of paid parental leave – Infographic
Mercer is an American global human resource and related financial services consulting firm, headquartered in New York City. Recent, the company has launched an interesting infographic showing the leave policies of different countries.
"All countries in Mercer's report provide some level of parental leave, but the scope of difference can be quite astounding," said Samantha Polovina, the Mercer Principal responsible for the report. "For example, one country may mandate a few days or weeks of leave, while another allows four years — much of it paid." Read more…

Spanning more than 80 years of game lore and traditions, the story is told by the players, coaches, fans, journalists, and historians who make Kentucky's game so distinctive and focuses particularly on the state championship tournament known as the Sweet Sixteen—one of the few in the nation that allows small schools to compete against the big ones.

Broken Update; cannot boot win7 in normal mode without immediate bsod
i don't know much about computers, so i appreciate you guys' help! I will try to make this quick and painless since i've been sitting here trying to fix this for 5 hours now..
While auto-updating my laptop froze. i let it sit for at least a half hour without change so did a hard reboot. everything went downhill from there, i cannot boot it in normal mode without it crashing with (most often) the attached jpeg bsod. just a few days before the update my friend went through my whole computer and defragmented, sorted, anti-virused, and basically made everything smooth and pretty. So it's not a virus or bug- it's something with the update being interrupted. From here on out all my troubleshooting has been in safe mode with networking. in the F8 menu I have attempted to restore to last known successful thingy and it worked at first with limited network access but has not worked since, getting the same bsod. i tried the chk thingy twice and both times it ran slow at first, then sped through a bunch of text and disappeared. i tried the fix it thingy on microsoft's site but it doesn't like me in safe mode. i also tried their troubleshooting thingy which basically said, 'yeah there's something wrong with your update and we can't fix it'. sigh.
I have in fact read so many bsod-related and win update-related threads/replies before posting this one that i cannot recall everything i have tried. needless to say i haven't seen a post with a solution, so if it's an 'easy' or relatively simple repair process, i have most likely tried it already :/
I really don't wanna ghost it or return my beloved laptop to factory settings. The suggestions i've gotten so far that i've been hesitant to try include the memtest/imaging it. i'd like to resolve this some other way if possible! i also attached the requested zip file. thank you for your time

Remembering Medgar Evers on Veterans Day
On this Veterans Day we remember Medgar Evers who returned from duty in WWII to be turned away from the polls when he tried to vote. He dedicated himself to fighting for voting rights; investigating race-based murders of African Americans includingEmmett Louis Till, Rev. George Lee, and more; organizing NAACP Youth Council's; supportingJames Meredith's right to attend Ole Miss; and more until he was murdered in June of 1963, leaving behind his wife and three young children.

Minister's Moment: What are You Looking For?
What Are You Looking For?
John 1:29-42
We've all had the experience of walking into a store and looking around, giving the impression we don't know what we're doing. A salesperson asks, "What are you looking for?" Many times we know exactly what we want. The person can point us in the right direction and help us make our selection. Other times we really don't know, and give a vague answer. "I'm looking for a present for my wife," we say, or, "I'll know it when I see it," which is probably less true than we'd like to admit.
In my very short sales career I was taught that when a customer said, "Just looking," it was a type of sales resistance. He or she didn't want to be pressured by some high-powered salesperson into buying half the store. Yet I know that sometimes "Just looking" is the correct answer to the question, "What are you looking for?" I just need time to orient myself to the store and get my bearings; then I'll be ready to let someone help me make the right decision.

Dec. 2009, a bar in the Arts & Métiers area, Paris… This photo, I don't even know how it appeared on my personal laptop! like, raw files, not even renamed, in a folder I didn't even remember moving… a folder I discovered while updating an lightroom catalog.
So, there we are again, two and a half year ago… in a bar. Meeting with fellow photographers, some I'd met at the photojournalism school, others I'd met at the Cannes Film Festival…
Talking about photo (in general), prospection, (not-) working, whatever, it's eight o'clock. Getting our shit together, so we can move forward in a business… Many a thing has changed since that photo, yet all of them are still professional photographers – which isn't that easy those days!
We still meet from time to time on a Wednesday morning: this is le café du mercredi matin.

In response to:
Thank you for this article. I've been trying to tell people about this (as far as I understood it) for weeks now but no one will listen, partly because it is so convoluted. But I didn't understand all the repercussions to the SC ruling. Heck, I had no idea that they were counting on at least HALF of the so-called "newly insured" to be new enrolless to Medicaid. I guess we are finding out what is in it.
In response to:
Because the end game is (and always has been) mandatory sterilization of women. This is not new. Look at the massive and very popular eugenics movement at the first half of the last century. It was women who were specifically targeted. The reason they target women is that they believe women to be generally more compliant and easier physically to control. This is why women need to arm themselves and get trained and ready.

Ten@10: UGA's linebackers give Dogs' defense a chance
- 9:58 am Tuesday, July 8th, 2014 by Chip Towers
1. A lot of folks aren't sure how good Georgia's defense will be in 2014, but everybody seems to be fairly certain the Bulldogs' linebackers are going to be good. And I tend to agree with that.
Three of Georgia's four linebackers were named to the Bednarik Award watch list released on Monday. Now say what you will about watch lists (more on that later), but the Bednarik trophy is supposed to go to the nation's best overall defensive player, so Georgia having three representations gives you an idea why the reputable Phil Steele has ranked [More]
Ten@10: Signees report to UGA as summer football workouts begin
- 9:58 am Tuesday, June 10th, 2014 by Chip Towers
1. Believe it or not, there are only 81 days until Georgia kicks off the 2014 football season against the Clemson Tigers at Sanford Stadium. For the Bulldogs, preparations are already well under way.
Sixteen of Georgia's 20 signees moved into the Oglethorpe House dormitory and enrolled in summer-school classes last week. That group will join the returning players for summer workouts and conditioning later this week.
So where are the four other signees, you might ask? Well, they're either already in Athens, are on their way, or are not coming.
