Hap wins No. 99
Halftime in the desert as Hansen takes Archie Bunker to GP victory
Special to the Horsetrader - March 1st, 2012 - Show & Event News
THERMAL – With the opening half of the 2012 HITS Desert Circuit officially in the books, trainers, riders, owners and horses are enjoying a much deserved week off. Entries are up and the sport of show jumping on the west coast appears healthy and active this year.
The facilities at the HITS Desert Horse Park continue to mature and impress, as thousands of exhibitors have flocked to the warm, sunny climate of the Southern California to escape the cold grip of winter.
HITS' signature classes continue to draw excitement and interest as riders all over North America are abuzz about this year's Pfizer $1 Million Grand Prix, Diamond Mills $500,000 Hunter Prix and $250,000 HITS 3' Hunter Prix Finals. Once again, all eyes are on Saugerties in September.
Grand Prix Highlights: Hap Hansen closes in on an impressive career milestone after a victory in Sunday's $30,000 SmartPak Grand Prix, presented by Pfizer Animal Health
Hap Hansen brought the crowd to its feet in the Oasis Club during Desert Circuit III when he rode Linda Smith's Archie Bunker to the blue ribbon in Sunday's $30,000 SmartPak Grand Prix, presented by Pfizer Animal Health.
Hansen, who is one of the most winning Grand Prix riders in the world, scored his 99th career triumph before a boisterous crowd that gave him a rousing ovation for his efforts.
"It was pretty cool to have everybody standing on their feet cheering for me," said Hansen. "It's such a good feeling to have your friends behind you."
Hansen was one of 26 starters to take to the field on Sunday afternoon and one of four who advanced to the jump-off. Florencio Hernandez of Mexico designed a challenging course that seemed to use every inch of the outdoor Strongid® C 2X Stadium with some wild twists and turns and three double combinations.
The first clean ride came early at the hands of Elizabeth Gingras of Edmonton, Alberta and her own Avensis and after that, 14 starters failed to follow Gingras' lead. It wasn't until Hansen and Archie Bunker entered the ring that the dynamic shifted. The pair left all the rails up and ensured the crowd a jump-off. Two trips later Michelle Spadone of Lake Worth, Florida joined them with a clean ride of her own aboard Red Field Farm's Coco.
Three trips later, Olympian Will Simpson of Thousand Oaks and Monarch International's Acorina were the next and last pair to join the group advancing to the jump-off.
In the jump-off, Gingras followed her flawless performance from the first round with another clean effort. She and Avensis stopped the clock in 45.620 seconds to set the Great American Time to Beat. Her glory would last only a few moments as Hansen and Archie Bunker maneuvered the course with ease and managed to shave more than three seconds off the pace to set the new leading time at 42.254 seconds.
Spadone was up next and also went clean, but her time of 43.723 seconds wasn't enough to take the lead away from Hansen, so she had to settle for second place. Simpson was last to go but had a rail down at the third fence and finished the class in fourth place with a time of 56.546 seconds and four faults.
After the class, Hansen was soaking it all up. "I would like nothing more than to win my 100th at Thermal. I have so many good memories here. Sunday was my first Grand Prix since July when I broke my leg so I was just hoping for a good round. This was more than I expected."
If Hansen is going to get his 100th victory at HITS Thermal he'll have plenty of chances to do so, as the second half of the circuit will offer eight more Grand Prix classes.
"I certainly have the horse for it," said Hansen. "Keep your fingers crossed for me."
Hansen is one of seven different riders to cash in on a Grand Prix victory during the first half of the season. Canadian Olympic Silver Medalist Jill Henselwood was the first to capture a win at Thermal this year when she edged out Great Britain's Helen McNaught in the opening $25,000 SmartPak Grand Prix, presented by Pfizer Animal Health, during Desert Circuit I. Two days later, McNaught was the one standing in the spotlight when she captured the $50,000 EMO Grand Prix, presented by Pfizer Animal Health, aboard Alison Heafey's Lariccello.
During Desert Circuit II it was Rich Fellers, Francie Steinwedell-Carvin and Josephina Nor-Lantzman who each grabbed a victory in the $32,000 HITS Desert Classic (FEI), $53,000 Strongid C 2X CSI2*-W Grand Prix, and $30,000 SmartPak Grand Prix, respectively. Jill Henselwood returned to the winner's circle during Desert Circuit III with a victory in the $32,000 HITS Desert Classic (FEI) and two days later, New Zealand's Duncan McFarlane rode Simone Cox's Mr. Whoopy to a first-place finish in the $53,000 HITS CSI2*-W Grand Prix.
PFIZER MILLION FEVER HEATS UP: Desert Circuit riders currently make up six of the top 10 riders in the rider rankings for the world's richest Grand Prix. Thanks to her two wins, Henselwood is sitting at the top of the preliminary Pfizer $1 Million Rider Rankings. With six of the eight Grand Prix needed to become eligible, Henselwood and her leading mount, Brian Gingras' IV Ever have amassed $34,060 in prize money won.
McFarlane, who finished second in the 2011 Pfizer Million, is currently in third place with four Grand Prix and $24,670 aboard Mr. Whoopy, while McNaught sits in fourth place with five Grand Prix and $24,215 in prize money won aboard her leading mount, Lariccello.
HUNTER SPOTLIGHT: John Bragg is usually not the bragging type, but has plenty to boast about this season at HITS Thermal. The California native won two of the three Devoucoux Hunter Prix that were offered during the first half of the circuit. During Desert Circuit II, Bragg teamed up with Stephanie Ray's Castle Hill to earn a total score of 184 and beat out 60 starters to take home the top prize in the $5,000 Devoucoux Hunter Prix. One week later, when the stakes and prize money were higher, they did it again earning a total score of 173 to beat out the rest of the class in the $10,000 Devoucoux Hunter Prix.
The first victory of the season in the Devoucoux Hunter Prix belonged to New York's Kate Considine. Riding Hannah Goodson-Cutt's Caretano, Considine earned a total score of 170.5.
Thanks to their efforts, Bragg with 202 points and Considine with 120 points currently sit in first and fourth place in the preliminary Diamond Mills $500,000 Hunter Prix Final Rider Rankings. Other West Coast Hunter riders placing in the top of the preliminary standings include Joie Gatlin in third place with 151 points aboard Kistler, Hope Glynn tied for fifth place with 119 points aboard Chance of Flurries, John French in eighth place with 106 points aboard Over the Moon and Jenny Karazissis in ninth place with 100 points aboard Cornerstone.
In the hunt to qualify for the all-new $250,000 HITS 3' Hunter Prix Final, West Coast riders are putting up some fierce competition. Six of the top 10 riders in the preliminary Rider Rankings are all HITS Desert Circuit exhibitors.
During DC II Amateur rider Emily Winkler of Long Beach, California led the way in the $1,500 HITS 3' Hunter Prix when she rode her own horse Landmark to the blue, while last week's props went to Junior rider Haley Giddings of Laguna Niguel, California who posted a win in the $5,000 HITS 3' Hunter Prix aboard Cavallo Farm's Opportunity. Winkler is currently in the number two spot in the rankings with 105 points aboard her leading mount, while Giddings sits just outside the top 10, in 12 place with 59 points.

ROCKVILLE, Md. - A Montgomery County high school student accused of bringing a loaded gun to school will stay behind bars until his trial.
Defense attorneys representing 18-year-old Alwin Chen tried to convince the judge to release the Clarksburg High School student, arguing prosecutors misrepresented facts during Chen's initial bond review.
In making their case in court on Tuesday, Chen's attorneys, Jill Michaels and David Felsen, reminded Judge John Moffitt appeared to lean heavily on the claim that Chen had a "list of grievances" when he decided to hold the teenager without bond until trial.
But prosecutors had a new argument of its own – a journal that included writings from Chen that appeared to show he was a very troubled young man.
Prosecutors paint Chen as a troubled person who wrote in the journal that he is worthless and ready to die, according to the court documents.
Prosecutors also revealed Chen brought the gun to school on several occasions – carrying it in a holster while sometimes wearing body armor.
After his arrest, Chen told police he brought the gun to school to protect himself and others in case of a school shooting, court documents say.
However, Chen's attorney wanted to make very clear there were no direct threats made by the student.
Prosecutors also pointed out that when Chen was interview by police, he admitted he assembled the gun from parts he ordered online with tools he bought from Home Depot. He also stated he learned how to use firearms by asking his father to take him to gun ranges.


ERAS is the acronym for enhanced recovery after surgery, a term often used to describe perioperative care programs that have been shown to improve outcomes after major surgery. This article gives a brief history of the development from fast-track surgery to ERAS. Today, the full meaning of ERAS goes beyond just a protocol for perioperative care with the initiation of a novel multiprofessional, multidisciplinary medical society: the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Society for Perioperative Care (www. erassociety. org). The ERAS Society is involved in the development of evidence-based guidelines. These guidelines form the basis for an implementation program of the ERAS principles to practice. While ERAS was initially developed for colonic resections, these principles are being used in a range of operations, and there is also a continuous update of care protocols as the fields develop. A key mechanism behind the effectiveness of ERAS is the dampening of the stress responses to the surgical insult combined with the use of treatments that support return of functions that delay recovery in traditional care. The article also gives some insights to why the protocols work and reports the effects of ERAS protocols.

Peterson possesses legal background, Lance connection, in 23rd District scrap
By Max Pizarro • 02/16/09 6:47pm
FRANKLIN – If politics inevitably involves relationships, Hunterdon County Freeholder Erik Peterson has a good one in U.S. Rep. Leonard Lance (R-Clinton).
Not only did Lance serve as best man at Peterson's wedding, but he's the godfather of Peterson's son. Those connections are not insignificant in the budding career of the 42-year old Franklin Township politician, especially considering Lance's solidification as the darling venerable statesman of Hunterdon County last year when he thrashed Linda Stender in their 7th District Congressional contest.
From his perch in the U.S. Congress now, Lance isn't exactly seizing handfuls of glossy campaign literature and making triumphal rounds in a Republican special election, and indeed sources say he's hardly been visible,but, Peterson assures, "He's helping me."
He won't elaborate. But any kind of "help" from Lance presumably can't hurtin Hunterdon.
With less than a week to go now before Saturday's special convention election to fill a vacated District 23 Assembly seat, the Lance factor must be considered, since it was his resounding victory after all that created an opening in the state senate, and Marcia Karrow's subsequent win that left an opening where she had lately warmed one of two 23rd District Assembly seats.
A business transactions lawyer with his own local firm, father of four, and a 2-1 victor in last year's reelection bid for a freeholder seat, Peterson says he can rightfully claim the Lance mantle of fiscal conservatism as he attempts to woo county committee members voting at Saturday's convention in the Clinton Middle School.
"I have a proven track record of being fiscally conservative, which I will continue in Trenton," Peterson said. "I am also a proponent of open, honest and transparent government. I have been a critic of the current COAH (Council on Affordable Housing) regulations. These regulations will only increase taxes on the district and impede our acquisition of open space."
Peterson says he is uniquely qualified as a small business owner to offer insight and expertise when the legislature considers next year's fiscal budget.
"I will be a local proponent of cutting spending and not using gimmicks and one time income generators," he said.
Peterson's in a fight this Saturday with fellow Hunterdon County Freeholder Matt Holt and Warren County Freeholder John DiMaio, and he's fairly certain that with the 50% plus 1 rule in effect, the contest will go to a second ballot.
"We've differed on different issues over time," he said of Holt. "Last year, we cut our budget by $2.5 million since 2007. I led that, I voted for that budget. I voted against the golf club house and proposed a more streamlined version. I drafted a letter opposing Gov. Corzine's monetization plan. I have been a staunch advocate for cutting county government, and a proponent of open space. I opened the veterans' service office in our county to give benefits to our vets."
The experience he lacks as a local elected official, Peterson said he makes for as a business owner and as an attorney with sharply honed analytical thinking skills. In a close contest, his wildcard may prove to be the quiet, steady largesse of Lance.

Blockchain Projects
HyperLedger Enterprise Blockchain (Linux Powered) is Picking Up Momentum
Bitcoin Exchange Guide News Team
HyperLedger Sees Its Momentum Speed Up As More Firms, Including Deutsche Bank Partner Up
Hyperledger's momentum has gathered a faster pace this week with new collaborators joining the space. An area of enterprise which comprises of over 235 organisations working closely together to innovate within the realm of blockchain technology.
Events such as the intention of the multinational Deutsche Bank to join the project as a premier member is conjoined with the decision on the parts of companies like Experian, Evernym and China Systems Holding joining the open-source collaborative project.
HyperLedger, for those unfamiliar, is an umbrella term used to define various open-source blockchain projects and tools. As a term, Hyperledger boasts hundreds of different projects, with new companies adding to that number constantly.
Powered by the Linux Foundation, Hyperledger is a testament to collaborative efforts between businesses. And has strived to tempt over new, multinational businesses like American Express and Cisco since 2016.
While it doesn't occupy the same flashy area of the market as known organisations like Ethereum. The projects that Hyperledger gets involved with are nonetheless addressing distinct daily needs that companies desperately looking for solutions to.
It's within these projects that the greatest level of collaboration makes Hyperledger distinct from its counterparts. The dynamic between companies within this sphere allow for aspects of business like financial solutions to streamline daily business.
In the first quarter of 2018, more than 16 additional companies have seen the successes of companies under the Hyperledger and decided to join the network. Bringing the total number of collaborating organisations up to 235.
Brian Behlendorf, Hyperledger's executive director, states that the company's intent has always been centred around the introduction of innovative blockchain applications and their use for streamlining businesses.
"From healthcare to banking to digital identity management, our members are developing both the use cases and the code for distributed ledgers that scale, connect and interoperate. The accelerating growth we are seeing shows the widening footprint of enterprise blockchain and increasing recognition of a community-based approach to advancing the technology and business models."
The logistics of dealing with a meteoric rise in the number of collaborating companies places is no easy thing to keep up to standard. The same is true in building production-ready software across a multitude of different industries is no small feat.
Competitors like R3 and Ethereum's EEA centre their business model around a dynamic and scalable system with an underlying stability, capable of being a leader in innovation for businesses around the world.
Hyperledger, on the other hand, boasts frameworks like Sawtooth and Fabric. Which are both focused on distributed ledgers capable of highly effective scaling. While also carrying the back-end abilities to enable turnkey decentralised applications.

HomeGovernmentJudicialDay 16 Highlights: The longest wait…the longest day
Day 16 Highlights: The longest wait…the longest day
THE IMPEACHMENT TRIALS – DAY 16, FEB. 13, 2012
THE LONGEST WAIT….THE LONGEST DAY!
By Wilfred Avila
Originally posted at Noisy Minority Facebook Page
The day started tense,….very tense. Against a backdrop of a Sunday Press Conference held by the Defense Panel at the Club Filipino claiming that P100,000,000.00 was being bandied about for votes to reject the TRO issued by the SC and talks of a walk out by the Defense Panel should this occur and a coup d'etat by the Drilon wing at the senate of Senate president Juan Ponce Enrile, there was more than enough to keep everyone at the edge of their seats.
It certainly was the longest wait in the five week history of the trials. Even the media men were unusually silent. They waited patiently for events to unfold. There were even talks that the media would stop covering the events because the Senate was complaining of the high cost of electricity which the media were using tapping to their main line. This really should have been thought of from Day One! The cost is rising!
The Senator-Judges have gotten in the act of being extra nice to the media by sending sandwiches and drinks from the ritziest snack bars. Padalhan mo naman ako Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano. Ang tagal ng hearing nyo. Sumakit ang ulo ko!
It was really too long a wait. The Senator-Judges were holed up in the Presiding Officer's conference room deciding whether to accept the TRO of the Supreme Court on opening the foreign currency deposits in PSBank.
When Presiding-Judge Juan Ponce Enrile sauntered into the hall in his suit, we realized that one of the unanswered question was clarified. All was well in the Senate Hall. There could be no doubt about that with his smile.
A few minutes later, the Senator-Judges filed into the Senate hall. Twenty-two senators were present, including the feisty Senator-Judge Miriam Defensor-Santiago, who had been absent in the previous sessions because of some medical reason.
Senator-Judge Jinggoy Estrada manifested, and proceeded to "denounce" the allegations made on Sunday, February 12, by the defense panel lawyers about the "bribery offers" made by Malacañang to the senator-judges. "I challenge you, the defense panel, to name your source… Magpakalalaki tayo dito."
Senator-Judge Alan Peter Cayetano asked defense lawyers about the Sunday presscon, says he tried to understand what they did. He excused lawyers Serafin Cuevas and Joel Bodegon for not having been in the Press Conference. As he continued he said that the defense panel put the impeachment court in a tough position. Also denouncing the defense's conference was sister Senator-Judge Pia Cayetano!
Senator-Judge Franklin Drilon, seeming to have found a loophole, took the floor and asked Roy about their comment that they would present Chief Justice Corona's dollar bank accounts "in due time." Roy confirmed this, but says they are not authorized to say when and continued saying it is at the discretion of their client. The time has not arrived for that!
Coup d'etat leader and convict Senator-Judge Antonio Trillanes IV asked the defense as to who the senators referred to? Roy immediately replies that their info had nothing to do with the identity of the senators. Trillanes moved to have the defense explain why they should not be cited for contempt. Presiding-Judge Enrile gave the Defense the end of the week to submit their memorandum.
Presiding Judge and Senator Juan Ponce-Enrile began to read the Senate decision on the Supreme Court TRO. The 13 who voted to abide by the TRO were: Sotto, Legarda, Estrada, Santiago, Revilla, Honasan, Pimentel, Recto, Arroyo, Villar, Enrile, Escudero, Marcos
The 10 who voted to defy the TRO were Osmena, Angara,, Lacson, Cayetano (Pia, Alan) Lapid, Pangilinan, Guingona, Trillanes and Drilon
Immediately after and one-by-one, the Senator-Judges explained their votes: Teofisto Guingona III, followed by Pimentel, Antonio Trillanes IV, A. Cayetano, P. Cayetano, Santiago, Estrada. Francis Escudero, Loren Legarda and Manuel Villar. Senator-Judges Pangilinan, P. Cayetano, and Presiding Officer Enrile manifested that they would file written explanations of their votes. As Enrile said: "For those interested and the students of law!"
The irrepressible and sometimes extremely hilarious Senator-Judge Santiago proceeded to face-off against lead prosecutor Niel Tupas with some questions. She grilled Tupas about their knowledge of the alleged dollar accounts, and the relevance of the accounts to their case.
She asked Tupas clarification on what should be the benchmark when declaring an account shows betrayal of public trust; she answered her own question that it should depend on the circumstances of the defendant. She also asks if the Corona accounts have been investigated by the Anti-Money Laundering Council; Tupas, without realizing where this was leading to replied that he didn't know.
The legal review continued and she pursued with her questioning Tupas about the prosecution's arguments on bank secrecy and its relevance to the case. She also manifested about the implications of opening foreign deposits. The lady Senator-Judge gives Tupaz a grade of 3 if he were in her law class! This is the continuing nightmare of Tupaz —- a Santiago!
About 2 hours into the hearing, the Senate impeachment court called on PSBank president Pascual Garcia III to the witness stand. garcia must have breathed a sigh of relief when both the prosecution and the defense declared that they no longer had question of him because of the court's resolution on the SC TRO earlier.
Not to be brushed aside, Drilon and Osmeña asked clarificatory questions. Osmeña also asked that the court include in the court's subpoena for bank documents, documents on settlement accounts under investments management, trust accounts, and mutual funds in pesos. The witness was discharged!
PSBank Katipunan branch manager Anabelle Tiongson is called to the stand. She is reminded to speak only of the pesos account and nothing else. Senator-Judge Drilon interrogates Tiongson about the PSBank peso accounts under the name of the Chief Justice.
Lead defense counsel Cuevas asked the court as to Whose witness is currently on the stand? He underlines that the prosecution did not claim her as their witness. Enrile clarifies that she was summoned by Drilon. Drilon said the witness was subpoenaed to bring opening documents of Corona, not for the alleged leakage of the bank documents.
Cuevas argues, they don't know the value of her testimony. A. Cayetano said that this was a regular procedure for an impeachment court. The precedence, Cayetano said, was the impeachment trial of former President Estrada.
Enrile scolded the prosecution, saying they are just gathering evidence now, and that this would be a "fatal flaw" later on. Enrile, Cuevas, Drilon debated on the subpoena for Tiongson.
Drilon argued that the witness was called to testify on the basis of an earlier subpoena; a subpoena that was issued again because it was Garcia who testified, and the opening documents were not brought to court.
Cuevas, however, maintained that Tiongson was neither a witness for the prosecution, defense, or for Drilon. Custodio then says ruling was already made for the prosecution to adapt her as witness. Enrile then orders Tiongson's earlier testimony stricken off the record because no one offered her testimony, and orders prosecution to direct examine her.
Reprimanded and humbled, the Prosecution then presented Tiongson as their witness, rather belatedly. She presented a certification of all the account of CJ Coronado related to the 5 peso accounts at PSBank. Enrile grilled Tiongson about the bank records, specifically the generation of the bank certifications.
As cross-examination was about to start, Senator-Judge Estrada, because he had requested Tiongson to appear before the court. Enrile however, wanted cross examination the witness before Estrada manifests.
It was the turn of the Defense to cross examine. Cuevas asked Tiongson about the documents. He asks if Tiongson knew Tupas, saying they have information that the lead prosecutor is a client of the bank. The prosecution vehemently objected and said that it was irrelevant to the case. Tiongson invoked the Bank Secrecy Law.
In a turnabout play, Cuevas demanded to subpoena Tupas's bank records, but Enrile denied the request and said that the bank accounts of the lead prosecutor has nothing to do with the case.
Finally Estrada was able to manifests and asked clarificatory questions to Tiongson. He asked why she did not appear the first time she was called, and reasons why is it that Garcia offered to take the stand on her behalf.
Estrada asked about the leak of the Corona bank documents to the prosecution. Tiongson says it did not come from their bank or branch. Looking forever perplexed, one wonders how this lady was able to make it as Branch Manager. To make things clearer for the the Presiding-Judge offered his own copy of the records and asked that it be shown to the witness for comparison.
As the hours were getting later in the day, Sotto informed the court that based on CCTV video, there was no "small lady" handing documents to Rep Reynaldo Umali. This would be very telling in a later exchange in the court!
Enrile pressed Tiongson if the documents were a replica or copy of a document from their bank. What seemed like an innocent enough question became the bombshell of the day! The witness said that the DOCUMENTS WERE FAKE and did not come from their bank! All hell broke loose!
All eyes turned on the prosecution panel! Enrile wanted an explanation from the prosecution. Tupas explained that they got it from Cong. Prosecutor Umali and after meeting in a hotel, they decided to include it in their documents. Enrile ordered the prosecution to explain in 24 hours. Suddenly, Tupaz' voice changed as that of a pubescent voice caught at something wrong!
Senator-Judge Estrada, finally able to speak, asked Tupas as to why, then, did he attach the documents to your subpoena? Tupas replied that they did it in good faith. He also points to the media as having information about it, also mentions two newspaper columns. (This is funny since every lawyer and even non-lawyers would not bank their accusations on these questionable documents.)
Enrile ordered Tiongson to bring the document in question – if it exists – or a similar document so that the court can compare it to the document attached to the prosecution request for subpoena.
It was time for another Bombshell! Tiongson says that the documents were in their mother office and not in the bank where the depositor keeps his account! Tiongson also mentioned that their branch was audited by representatives from the Central Bank and said that the auditors were able to see records. More room for questions at a later date, methinks!
At around a little after 8:00pm, the session was adjourned. WHEW!
What was even more interesting was that Prosecutor and Congressman Umali suddenly ran away from the session hall when the inquisition on the source of the bank accounts began. He could not be found by any network and Tupaz squeaked like a young pubescent boy changing into womanhood! Hahahaha!
My friends, let me very clear on a few things here now. This is not a blog on just the proceedings. I am neither for or against the prosecution or the defense. I am for the truth. If my slip shows, once in a while, I can't help it because that is how I see it personally. Also, I cannot for the life of me stand by and watch a man bamboozled into kingdom come because of the whims of one man and a bunch of liars and thieves. If you don't like what I write —- delete it! That so many people follow this only points to the fact that I must be doing something right and shared by a lot of others so I really won't miss you!
That having been said, what was the longest wait for the trial to begin ended up being the longest day for everyone.

Q: How do i set the size of a panel to the size of a window, even if the window size changes? This is my code. I would like to set the size of the box the ball bounces in to that of the window size, even if the window is resized by the user, such as making the window restored, or dragging it to a size.
Thanks a lot.

A: *

*Drop this line: this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(BOX_WIDTH, BOX_HEIGHT));

*Wherever you used BOX_WIDTH replace it with getWidth()

*Wherever you used BOX_HEIGHT replace it with getHeight()
That should do the trick.

A: It should be as simple as removing the call to this.setPreferredSize() in your constructor. When the window is resized, it will request the panel to resize itself. In your paint routine, you're getting the current bounds of the panel and bouncing between them, so it should just work.
On an unrelated note: you should replace your aameThread with a javax.swing.Timer. As it is, you're invoking paint requests from outside the event dispatch thread, which is a bad idea.

A: There is no simple answer here because you have hard coded x,y,w,h values.  The not-so-simple answer is to use variables instead of hard coded values and dynamically adjust those values inside the paintComponent() method.

The history of decolonisation is a fascinating one, and one that has attracted some of the best academic analysis. It benefits, too, from the quickened pace of the release of British official documents, which has produced a flood of papers, memoranda, Cabinet discussions, correspondence, secret, as well as merely confidential, that throws new light on the process of decolonisation, and will continue to do so. Many of these documents have found their way into print, with the series British Documents of the End of Empire providing an invaluable source for historians of Empire, and a corrective to facile views such as that the empire was doomed by the granting of Indian self-government in 1947, or by the Suez crisis. Indeed, so complex is the picture now emerging that the expression 'end of empire' might be better replaced by something like 'old empires never die, they just fade away'.


The liquid range and applicability of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are determined by their physicochemical properties. In this work, the physicochemical properties of glycolic acid:proline and malic acid:proline were evaluated experimentally and with MD simulations at five different ratios. Both DESs exhibited esterification upon preparation, which affected the viscosity in particular. In order to minimize oligomer formation and water release, three different experimental preparation methods were explored, but none could prevent esterification. The experimental and calculated densities of the DESs were found to be in good agreement. The measured and modeled glass transition temperature showed similar trends with composition, as did the experimental viscosity and the calculated diffusivities. The MD simulations provided additional insight at the atomistic level, showing that at acid-rich compositions, the acid–acid hydrogen bonding (HB) interactions prevail. Malic acid–based DESs show stronger acid–acid HB interactions than glycolic acid–based ones, possibly explaining its extreme viscosity. Upon the addition of proline, the interspecies interactions become predominant, confirming the formation of the widely assumed HB network between the DESs constituents in the liquid phase.


Since 1967, the Mehra family has delivered a rich sensory experience rivalled only by a trip to India. The adventure begins outside the downtown restaurant, East India Company, where diners are greeted by large statues of the Hindu god Ganesh and two elephants.
If it weren't for the scent of slowly-simmered curries and fresh buttered naan one might think they've walked into an Indian art gallery. The eatery features impressive wood carvings and colourful paintings in a style that's centuries old. The beat of drums and the sound of sitar strings fills the spacious restaurant.
Longtime fans who've tried it all are well served ordering beyond the buffet. The often-overlooked menu offers lots of exciting flavour combinations that open the palate.
Fragrant Bangalore spiced potatoes melt in the mouth, in contrast with the crunch of green peppers and onion. Cumin seeds leave a pleasant nutty aftertaste while dried chilli peppers add a lingering heat. Bright orange-yellow paneer pasanda pops on the table. Submerged in creamy sauce, are slices of housemade cheese that sandwich a thin layer of nuts, raisins and cardamom.
Kurkuri bhindi, a seasonal offering, is a unique blend of sweet okra and enough garam masala to give the dish a spicy kick.
Cool things down with creamy coconut malabar prawns. The large crustaceans, covered in deep golden sauce get a delightfully sweet kick of coconut. Nilgirli korma features fall-off-the-bone lamb covered in a velvety creamed spinach.
A satisfying mixture of rice, vegetables and spices, Punjabi-style chicken biryani arrives surrounded by a ring of salad. Pepper corns and garam masala deliver lively hits of spice, counteracted by bites of sweet carrots and refreshing cilantro.
End the meal with chai. The tea transports one to a tiny roadside chai shop in Delhi. Honking horns and the roar of traffic can almost be heard with each sip.
For dessert, halwa, a traditional treat made of lentils or carrots, packs a punch of cardamom flavour. It's served in a martini glass and topped with cashews and slivered almonds. Each sweet spoonful is a reminder that ditching the take out tubs for East India Company's elaborate feast for the senses is well worth it.
East India Company is open Mon-Fri 11 am-3 pm, 4:30 pm-10 pm, Sat 4:30 pm-10 pm, Sun 12 pm-3 pm, 4:30 pm-9 pm.

Andalas Energy and Power (ADL) – Update on Eagle Gas investment
10th December 2018 / Leave a comment
Andalas is the owner of a 25% interest in Eagle Gas Limited that is itself the 100% owner of Holywell Resources Limited ("Holywell"), which owns a 66 2/3% interest in licence P2112 ("the licence").
The operator, Holywell, is currently negotiating an extension to the initial licence term which ends on 19 December 2018, with the Oil and Gas Authority ("OGA"), on behalf of itself and joint venture partner, Atlantic Petroleum ("Atlantic"), the owner of the remaining 33.3% non-operated interest in the licence. Andalas will update shareholders on the status of the negotiation as soon as further information is made available to it.
Following completion of the 2018 work programme, Holywell provided the results of its seismic interpretation to its partner, Atlantic, and also to its shareholders, including Andalas, which were announced by the Company on 20 August 2018.
Holywell reported to Andalas that Atlantic, having completed a technical evaluation of the seismic reinterpretation completed by Holywell, formed the view that there was the potential for there to be a further upside gas reserve on the licence that may influence the factors that led to the selection of the initial well location that had been recommended by Holywell.
The licence partners therefore agreed to request an extension to ensure that sufficient time is allowed under the licence to enable the joint venture to complete additional seismic interpretation work on the potential upside gas reserve. Any additional seismic interpretation will provide additional data to enable the joint venture partners to agree the technical and commercial appraisal and development plans for the licence that will inform the joint venture partners individual decision to drill or drop the licence.
The additional seismic reprocessing may result in the operator, Holywell, issuing an updated resource assessment. However, as at the date of this announcement, the previously announced operator assessment of the resource remains unchanged. Any update resulting from the proposed additional seismic reprocessing will be announced at that time.
In parallel with the request for an extension to the licence, the joint venture partners have continued to evaluate potential funding options with regard to progressing the licence to the drill phase.
The information contained within this announcement is deemed by the Company to constitute inside information as stipulated under the Market Abuse Regulations (EU) No. 596/2014 ('MAR). Upon the publication of this announcement via a Regulatory Information Service ('RIS'), this inside information is now considered to be in the public domain.

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
By Dan Kaufman | December 15, 2011 | 1:21pm
When last we left Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) of the Impossible Mission Force (not to be confused with the Extensive Paperwork Bureau), he and his new bride were traipsing off to a car chase-free life of early retirement. But as we all know, Hollywood cops and spies are never allowed to stay retired for long. After the thrilling opening sequence of Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (which continues the Scream-like trend of casting stars to off them early), we cut to a Moscow prison where Ethan is mysteriously being held. Agents Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg) and Jane Carter (Paula Patton) are plying their tech and explosives skills to break him out. The scene is jaunty and light-hearted, and scored, in the film's reality, to Dean Martin's "Ain't That a Kick in the Head." (The song times exactly to how long they have for the breakout.)
Light fuse. Cue famous theme.
What follows is the best entry in the Mission Impossible franchise, and one of the best action movies in recent years. Not bad for first-time live-action director Brad Bird, though with his widely acclaimed previous work on animated features The Iron Giant, and Pixar's The Incredibles and Ratatouille, it's not a huge surprise.
Ethan and his thrown-together team (including late-to-the-game IMF analyst William Brandt, played by Jeremy Renner) find themselves on their own with limited resources when their infiltration of the Kremlin goes horribly wrong and the IMF is blamed. This causes the U.S. government to invoke the titular spectral protocol, in which the entire agency is disavowed in order to avoid a war much worse than a Cold one with Russia. From there, it's a global cat-and-mouse game with a megalomaniacal arms dealer who's attempting nothing less than to wipe the Earth clean to start the cycle of life anew.
When George Mallory was asked why he wanted to climb Mount Everest he famously replied, "Because it's there." One imagines Tom Cruise looking at the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, and having a similar sentiment about staging an action sequence there. The centerpiece of the film takes place in, atop, and around this building, and is worth the price of admission alone, especially in IMAX, which is how I saw it. The scene produced audible gasps from many in the audience, including myself. (Those with a fear of heights need not apply.)
Cruise is as electric as ever. A fun fact that's been floating around the internet bears repeating here: in Ghost Protocol, he's the same age Wilford Brimley was when he made Cocoon. Whatever you may feel about Scientology, they clearly must have some excellent vitamins in their water cooler—Cruise's stiff-necked, flat-handed sprint is just the same as you remember.
The performances are strong across the board, inasmuch as they simply don't detract from the action. Geek icon Simon Pegg is great comic relief as the wet-behind-the-ears tech agent who just graduated to field duty, even getting in one or two badass moments of his own. But truly everyone has their share of exciting and witty moments. A sense of fun permeates the entire production, with even the occasional potshots at the franchise's own clichés.
It there are any nits to be picked, it should be noted that if you see the IMAX version, the entire film isn't shot in that format, only certain scenes amounting to about a third of the running time. As with other recent films released this way, the result is an occasional switch from the standard widescreen format to the full screen, stories-high IMAX footage, which can be a little distracting. Also, the gadgetry the agents use occasionally pushes the boundaries of believability, such as a portable projection screen that Wile E. Coyote might have ordered from ACME to catch the Road Runner. But these are minor gripes at best. Ghost Protocol is wholly satisfying, and a breathtaking blast from start to finish.

Housing Narrative Lab is offering small grants to organizations like yours to build narrative power around the country. Housing Narrative Lab's latest research identified narratives that help people better understand that homelessness is the result of systemic causes, such as a severe lack of affordable housing, racist and exclusionary housing policies and jobs that don't […]
Essentials for Transformative Narratives: Go On Offense
Narrative plays a big role in building the public will to solve homelessness. Dominant narratives about people experiencing homelessness focus on individuals making bad personal decisions, which often lead to ineffective and dehumanizing solutions – like clearing tents and throwing out people's belongings, including ID, medications and what they need to survive. That's why we're […]

How Person-Centered Language Amplifies Calls To Action By Amanda J.

But describing someone's experience certainly doesn't have to be dehumanizing. […]
Essentials for Transformative Narratives: Establishing Shared Values
As we continue to work together to solve homelessness and housing insecurity, many of us have come to recognize the crucial role that narrative plays in building the public will to solve homelessness. Dominant narratives about people experiencing homelessness rooted in individual failing and personal choice are harmful and lead to ineffective and sometimes dehumanizing solutions. That's why we're working to build a transformative narrative that recognizes that housing is a human need and necessary for everyone in our community to thrive.
No matter what kind of storyteller you are, all writers are committed to telling effective stories.This is especially important when it comes to exploring sensitive topics like homelessness and housing insecurity, where the language used can be the difference between an advocacy-based piece and one that further marginalizes an already impacted group of people.


TE: What was it about Pence that made you decide to run for Congress?
BW: The fact that he is anti-LGBT to the extreme. The things that he has said of the years such as gay couples are the societal collapse. He has opposed laws time and time again to prohibit discrimination for LGBT [people] in the work place, believes in conversion therapy… the list is long. Pence alone is not what made me run for Congress though. It was a number of things coming together for the call of action. Pence was the final straw for me.
Over the years I, just like many people throughout this country, have become sick and tired of waiting for a politician to truly take care of the issues that matter. Most of our elected officials put the interest of their big money campaign donors before the interest of we the people.
TE: You're running against incumbent Republican Trent Franks for Arizona's 8th District House seat. Aside from LGBT Rights, what separates you from Franks?
BW: What separates our campaign from Franks is that I am a working-class person running for the people. I say OUR because this campaign is for District 8. It is not about me. I am just the voice. Trent Franks is a millionaire that is out of touch with our district. He lives in a million dollar home and has a net worth over 30 million [dollars]. While the average home in my district is worth 266k and the average income in Maricopa County is $55,054. He is not a representation of the people of this district.
Since he was elected years ago he has done nothing to fix our broken public education system here in Arizona. Which should be one of his focal points in Washington. Arizona's public education system is ranked near dead last nationally. Trent Franks is a one issue representative he caters to his hard Christian base and is hell-bent on abortion. He does not want to expand or protect Medicaid, Medicare or Social Security. He opposes a Medicare-for-all approach to healthcare, which is absurd because health care is a right. Whether you are poor, rich, or have a preexisting condition, you should be able to get the health care access you need in this country. He opposes everything [related to] Climate Change. Why? Because he is owned by Dark Money – the majority of his campaign contributions come from the fossil fuel industry. He, himself is owned by oil, his brother and him founded an oil and gas exploration company. He opposes legislation that invests in clean energy because it directly impacts his own personal pocket book.
TE: Healthcare is a hot-button issue right now for most Americans. What kind of policy would you like to see in place?
BW: Well if I was in the House right now I would be sponsoring H.R. 676. Health care is a right. We need Medicare for all system. We as a country spend more on health care than any other nation in the world, yet provide the least amount of coverage. This must stop and we must adopt a universal health care system to ensure all citizens have access to quality medical care. We must put an end the system of allowing private, for-profit companies to dictate the quality and type of care we receive and put the decision-making powers in the hands of doctors and other health care professionals.
TE: Trump recently cited the cost of trans-related medical care as a justification for his attempt to ban all transgender military personnel. How do you respond to this?
BW: Well I wish he would just come out and tell the truth, but that is impossible for Trump. The cost of medical care for transgender soldiers is very minimal compared to the cost that is spent on erectile dysfunction medication, which is fives times higher. The cost for care for transgender troops is estimated from $2.4 to $8.4 million per year, which is less than 0.14% of the total military's medical budget. The truth of the matter is from what I have read is that this surprise tweet by Trump was a way of him keeping his budget bill alive in the House – in that budget bill is his campaign promised Border Wall. So basically he believes in trading human rights for votes. We are seeing more and more fascism from the Trump administration each day that he is in office.
TE: Transgender people in the military aren't the only ones in the crosshairs. Your opponent is a sponsor of HB2796, erroneously called the "Civil Rights Unification Act". What are your thoughts about this bill?
BW: HR 2796 I would hope would not pass through the House, and I really do not think that it will, but given today's politics… who knows?! It is a bill to watch for sure. It is a very scary bill for the Transgender community.
It explicitly forbids the government from interpreting protections against gender discrimination to transgender people. To read from the bill directly it also states "No Federal civil rights law shall be interpreted to treat gender identity or transgender status as a protected class, unless such law expressly designates 'gender identity' or 'transgender status' as a protected class." It is an absolutely disgusting bill. It's a direct attack on the transgender community and I am not surprised that my incumbent cosponsored it. He has a long history of attacking the LGBT community and has a voting record to prove it.
A bill like this is a great example of the importance of my voice in Congress. If I was in the House I could be a vocal leader on the floor to combat this bill. Being an openly transgender woman my voice carries more weight on this issue than any other member in the House.
TE: Has your gender been an issue in your campaign?
BW: No it really has not, which is quite surprising. I get occasional bigot comments on the Facebook page, but from progressives in my district they see it as a badge of strength. I've had to endure a lot. It shows my mental fortitude and people want someone who is strong representing them in Washington.
Being transgender in government should be seen as a huge quality because we have lived in two different worlds. I've lived in a man's world and a woman's world. I see the sexism first hand now living as a woman. I see the barriers that women deal with in the workplace.
TE: Do you suspect that your opponent will bring up the fact that you're trans in a debate, or make your gender a political matter?
BW: Unfortunately, it is a serious possibility that my opponent would bring up such a thing as leverage for some of his political base. Just like how Trump has targeted trans people and other vulnerable minority groups in his hateful rhetoric, it is realistic to expect my political opponent to act in a similar fashion to drum up some of his reactionary voter base.
TE: Have you thought about how'd you respond to such a tactic?
BW: Yes I have and I will let my actions and political message stand for itself. Let the voters decide. I don't imagine outright bigotry is going to hurt me so much; it may even add momentum to my side if things get particularly heated. We have seen it with the resistance movement since Trump has taken office. When they attack us, we the people just get stronger.
TE: Just one more question: Why should voters in District 8 vote for you?
BW: Great question. The people of District 8 should vote for me because I will never forget that we the people deserve a government of the people, by the people, for the people. No other candidate here, to my knowledge, is taking seriously the issues of connecting various working class communities, and using an intersectionality lens to view the world.
BW: This was great. We will do it again!

WASHINGTON (CNN) - President Barack Obama asked Congress on Wednesday to formally authorize the use of military force in the war against ISIS, the first time a U.S. President has asked for such authorization in 13 years.
Lawmakers on Wednesday morning received a draft Authorization for the Use of Military Force, a resolution that would formally authorize a six-month U.S. military effort against the militant group. Shortly after the request was sent to the Hill, the White House announced Obama would speak to the public on the issue Wednesday afternoon.
The joint resolution would limit the President's authority to wage a military campaign against ISIS to three years and does not authorize "enduring offensive ground combat operations," according to text of the resolution.
In a letter to Congress, Obama explained that the draft resolution would give him the authority to authorize "ground combat operations in limited circumstances," including rescue operations and special forces operations to "take military action against ISIL leadership."
The resolution would also sunset the 2002 AUMF that spawned the Iraq War. Obama withdrew American troops from Iraq in 2011, but the military authorization remains in effect.
The resolution drafted by the White House does not repeal the 2001 military force authorization that has served as the legal justification for the military campaign against ISIS and other U.S. military efforts to combat terrorism around the world.
The document also specifically notes that ISIS poses a "grave threat" to U.S. national security interests and regional stability.
And Obama detailed the ISIS threat in a letter to Congress accompanying the draft legislation.
"The so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) poses a threat to the people and stability of Iraq, Syria, and the broader Middle East, and to U.S. national security," Obama writes. "It threatens American personnel and facilities located in the region and is responsible for the deaths of U.S. citizens"
As in the draft resolution, Obama goes on to name the Americans killed in ISIS captivity, "including James Foley, Steven Sotloff, Abdul-Rahman Peter Kassig, and Kayla Mueller."
There is broad support in Congress for a formal AUMF, though lawmakers disagree on the scope of the military powers that should be handed to the President.
House Republican leaders were quick to dismiss the White House draft authorization as too limited, insisting that the President should have fewer limitations.
"If we are going to defeat this enemy, we need a comprehensive military strategy and a robust authorization, not one that limits our options," House Speaker John Boehner said in a statement Tuesday. "Any authorization for the use of military force must give our military commanders the flexibility and authorities they need to succeed and protect our people...I have concerns that the president's request does not meet this standard."
Boehner's No.2, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, echoed Boehner's support for an AUMF as well as his criticism of the limits the White House's draft would impose.
"I am prepared to support an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) that provides new legal authorities to go after ISIL and other terrorist groups. However, I will not support efforts that impose undue restrictions on the U.S. military and make it harder to win," McCarthy said in a statement.
Obama urged Congress during his State of the Union address to formally authorize the military campaign to "show the world that we are united in this mission."
As he has said in the past, Obama noted in his letter to Congress Wednesday that he already has the authority to fight ISIS, "I have repeatedly expressed my commitment to working with the Congress to pass a bipartisan authorization for the use of military force" against ISIS.
Obama also stressed that the White House's draft resolution would constrain the U.S. military effort and would not authorize "long-term, large-scale ground combat operations" like in Iraq and Afghanistan.
While Obama did not repeal the 2001 military authorization, he explained in his letter that he remains "committed to working with Congress and the American people to refine, and ultimately repeal, the 2001 AUMF."

Q: How to handle OAuth access tokens I have been exploring a couple of OAuth API's lately and bumped into an API that requires my page's code to handle and access token. I used the following in the HTML for example:
<script>
var client = thisapi.createClient({
  accessToken: '0b7f6x59a0'
})
</script>

I am able to make calls to the API and retrieve the kind of data I need as long as I can access this token on my page. But it is exposed to the public. So how can I hide this kind of information?


Microsoft's App Studio is a tool meant to make it possible for novice developers to create apps for Windows Phone. With the most recent update, user-created applications are now possible for Microsoft's upcoming flagship operating system.
App submissions won't be cleared for Windows Store publishing until this summer, but those that wish to get started can do so now by downloading the new App Studio Beta.
Microsoft is clearly out to make Windows 10 work well with both mobile app developers and competing operating systems, likely making it the most agile and flexible operating system the company has ever made.

Gateways to the Otherworld
This DVD provides answer to the most profound question mankind has been asking himself for as long as there has been consciousness – is there life after death?
We discover that a technique exists in which we can all travel and journey to "other realities" which exist within us. Through the science of quantum physics, Gardiner shows that ancient man was far more advanced than we previously believed. The author actually undergoes his own experiments to prove the point.
Is there a universal frequency so perfect that it allows the mind to travel into other realms? Did our ancestors know of this special harmony? How does all this relate now to the holographic universe and the concept of quantum entanglement? Does the Great Pyramid hold a real secret to the quantum realm? Are there ancient methods of healing here that would benefit mankind?
In an all encompassing work, the author uses the science of the day in conjunction with the most ancient of teachings bringing them into the current day reality. We see the wonders of the ancients in their incredible buildings, built for a unique method of travel; we spot clues to the very real Atlantis and we come to our own end and discover a new beginning. Will anybody be able to say that they no longer believe in an after life? Will anybody say that there is not more to life than meets the physical eye?
Philip Gardiner is the best selling author of several books, including Gnosis: The Secret of Solomon's Temple Revealed and The Ark, The Shroud and Mary. He has appeared on hundreds of international radio and television programs as well as documentaries including Freemasonry for the Discovery Channel.
Philip Gardiner has spent his life on a crusade uncovering the truth behind myths, legends and ancient mysteries. Author of the best selling Secrets of the Serpent and The Ark, the Shroud and Mary, the author now delves into another aspect of the human enigma with Secret Societies.
In Secret Societies, Gardiner's quest is to uncover truths and secrets of the world's most powerful men in history. The journey takes him to dark places – sinister places that existed then and still exist today.

Discover the core of the 'Secret Societies' belief systems.
Explore the secret origins of Freemasonry and the links to Serpent Cults.
Examine the actual members of the "Illuminati", analyze the history of the group in Europe and America.

2019 Free Agency Preview: Defensive Line
WashingtonFootball.com Staff
With free agency set to begin in mid-March, Redskins.com previews the 2019 NFL free agent class position-by-position. Today's focus starts with the defensive linemen.
For the Redskins, this is a position group that looks pretty strong entering the 2019 season, and one that likely doesn't need to add a veteran. That's primarily because of the four players under rookie contracts that made significant strides as a unit last season.
Alabama products Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne, Matt Ioannidis and Tim Settle all return with varying degrees of experience and production under their belts. The Redskins also return Caleb Brantley, whom they signed at the beginning of last season, and veteran Stacy McGee, who missed the first half of the year on the PUP list.
Here's a look at the top five free agents at ths position, along with more below.
Grady Jarrett, Falcons
Coming off of playing in 14 games as a starter for Dan Quinn's Atlanta Falcons, Jarrett set career highs in sacks (six) and quarterback hits (16) while recording 16 tackles. Jarrett's best game came in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals when he recorded two sacks, seven tackles, and two quarterback hits.
Jarrett played sparingly in his rookie season, starting just two games while recording one sack in 2015. The defensive tackle saw regular playing time in 2016, recording three sacks and 48 tackles in 14 starts. However, Jarrett had the game of his life in Super Bowl LI against the New England Patriots, recording three sacks, helping Atlanta jump out to a 28-3 lead.
Jarrett has compiled 14 sacks, 40 quarterback hits, and 179 tackles throughout his young career. The agile defensive tackle prides his game on beating double teams against both the run and the pass, and has solidified himself as one of the top young defensive tackles in the NFL.

Sheldon Richardson, Vikings
The 6-foot-3, 295-pound Richardson was selected by the New York Jets with the No. 13 overall pick in 2013 that they acquired in the trading away of cornerback Darrelle Revis to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
His time with the Jets was well spent as he made the Pro Bowl in 2014 and played a variety of roles on the New York defense. He was traded to Seattle in 2017 and started in all 15 games he played there for Pete Carroll's Seahawks. After joining the Vikings on a one-year deal last offseason, he finished the year starting in all 16 games adding 4.5 sacks on the year.
Richardson has proved his fit with the Vikings this season as a running mate inside with Linval Joseph but would add a veteran presence along a Washington 3-4 defensive front that touts the likes of Daron Payne at defensive tackle.
Michael Pierce, Ravens
An undrafted free-agent out of Samford in 2016, Michael Pierce has become one of the bright young nose tackles the 2019 NFL free-agency class has to offer.
After starting in just one game in 2016, Pierce was so impressive in the flashes he presented, the team felt comfortable enough to deal Timmy Jernigan to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The rest is history. Pierce would go on to start 13 games in 2017 (played in all 16), and notched 49 tackles with one sack from his nose tackle position.
He played in 13 games in 2018 (starting two), adding 20 tackles, four tackle for loss, and one fumble recovery.
Now headed into 2019 and the free agency period, Pierce will look to continue to improve his game while he explores options and gauges interest from around the league.
David Irving, Cowboys
David Irving, who is still only 25 years old, signed as an undrafted free agent with the Chiefs in 2015 and was placed on the team's practice squad.
The Cowboys signed him away to their active roster only a few weeks into the season and he was a rotational lineman by midseason. From there, Irving's stock began to bloom with four sacks and 15 quarterback hits in 2016 and 7 sacks in 8 starts for the Cowboys in 2017.
The towering 6-foot-7 Irving was dominant down the stretch in 2016, and proved it wasn't a fluke the year after. He was limited to just eight games because of a concussion and a suspension in 2017, but was terrific in those eight contests, registering seven sacks.
Irving only played in two games in 2018 because of injury, and was recently suspended indefinitely for another substance abuse violation.
Muhammad Wilkerson, Packers
Before joining the Packers, Wilkerson visited many teams after the 2017 season, including a visit to Redskins Park to meet with Jay Gruden.
Wilkerson played for the Jets from 2011-2017, and has been named to the All-Pro team twice and to the Pro Bowl once in 2015. However, his last two seasons have been below his performance standard, recording 4.5 sacks in 2016 and 3.5 sacks in 2017, compared to his 18.0 combined sacks in the 2014-2015 seasons.
Packers current defensive coordinator Mike Pettine was Wilkerson's defensive coordinator for two seasons in New York and has helped Wilkerson improve his game which led to him recording 10.5 sacks in 2013 and 12 sacks in 2015. However, the Redskins defensive line is coached by Jim Tomsula, who has gained the respect as one of the top D-line coaches in the NFL.
In his career, Wilkerson has recorded 498 tackles (324 solo), 44.5 sacks, two interceptions, 26 passes defended, 10 forced fumbles and a fumble recovery that he returned for a touchdown in 101 career games.
Other notable free agent defensive linemen: Christian Covington, Darius Philon, Johnathan Hankins, Danny Shelton, Bennie Logan
