Turned 21 in March, picked up a Springfield M1911A1 Mil-Spec the other day, CCW is paid for and probably on its way in the mail as I type this.
I'm here because I'm set on concealing in this ever more dangerous world we live in, fraught with peril at every corner (this is right near Atlanta after all). Born to and raised by a mother and father whom are former police officers, the former of which is now a P.I. and the latter of which is a former US Marine (who we kidding? once a Marine always a Marine!) I myself happen to be an Eagle Scout and a staunch advocate of inalienable rights.
Now to scrounge up some money for a good gunbelt (perhaps a crossbreed?) and a good IWB holster (can't decide between the crossbreed supertuck or the "Answer.")
Oh, and I'm 6'0" 130lbs (trust me, I eat more than my fair share!) and a CRJU major in college as a full-time student. Damn economy needs to clear up so I can get a summer job!
Anyways, Howdy!

Kristen was seen at LAX Airport in L.A., leaving on a flight and wearing another article of Rob's clothing! Read on for the details.
Kristen Stewart was photographed at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Sept. 5. The 22-year-old actress' film On The Road is set for special screening at the Toronto Film Festival on Thursday, Sept. 6, with Kristen scheduled to attend. Her choice of airport clothes included a very interesting T-shirt — it's Robert Pattinson's!
Kristen was sporting the white T-shirt, which Rob was photographed wearing back in 2011, with skinny jeans and a pair of boots while walking through the airport. (E! has the exclusive photos of Rob wearing the shirt back in 2011.) She completed her look with a pair of square-rimmed glasses and had her earbuds in as she walked. She looked great, but she's clearly still sending messages to Rob!
See VIDEO of Kristen landing in Toronto later that evening!
Do you think Kristen wore Rob's shirt as a message, HollywoodLifers?

Fate bring them together and they had four wonderful years loving eachother and now something bad happen. Love isn't about good times only it's about bad and rough time too. Is the love strong enough to overcome mistake she made unintentionally or momentally. Is his heart big enough and strong enough to forgive and try to save the love they had? Hope he will listen to his and follow it, don't be affected by others opinions even his family member. They can only be two person involve that's him and Kristen… Pls listen to your heart and look how hurt she is now even she try to hide it. I am sure you can feel and see it. Stay and give you and her a second chance for love….

Forgiveness is a part of real love. And supposedly, Rob loved Kristen – she was his one and only true love. Well if he truly loves her, then he would be trying to fix this. Not just walk away. If you are actually in love you can't just walk away. If he loves her, he needs to hear Kristen out, and try to reconcile things – more than anything else in his life. He would need this – even more than his ego, his fame, his career. That's what a person who is really in love with someone else does. Rob is acting like Rob is just in love with the idea of being in love, or maybe just in love with himself. If Rob doesn't even try to let Kristen fix this – then Kristen is better off without him. Then Rob isn't the man we all think he is !

Its always busy here I eat the butter chocolate chip cookies and get a soda .. I wish they had more vegan options.
We came at breakfast time and tried the egg and cheese quesadilla which was nothing special but to be fair, it was just an egg and cheese quesadilla. We also purchased several malasadas which my husband and children thought were delicious, though it was not my favorite. Each to their own. This is a very simple small bakery that is... More
This is a must stop for all bakery lovers. I really liked thier cherry roll, flying saucer, ham and cheese bun, and their cinnamon rolls are top notch. This is the bakery to get your cinnamon roll. But I was too late to get a pork bun. I got there before 9 but already sold out. You should probably try... More
Hanalima is delightful! Go early - they often sell out of the pastries by mid-morning. They also serve breakfasts and delicious burgers and sandwiches at lunch time. What you may not know is that they make really beautiful custom cakes.
Just had one of the best loco moco ever. They come in 3 different sizes and the small is perfect for $5 when you order a couple malasada with it. Tons of other small snack food that is delicious. Big menu little shop. Take out only but so worth the stop. Never looks busy bc it's like a revolving door.... More
I was driving around town and took a chance to visit this place. I am glad did. They had great breakfast burritos. Had my 9 year old son with me and said best thing ate on the trip .
We had our first breakfast on the island here. Very great food for good value. We had cinnamon rolls, crab rolls, breakfast burrito, and there apple roll. Everything was excellent. There bread to there pastries is two thumbs up.
My friends and I enjoyed the breakfast meal we bought here. T he prices were reasonable and the food good. Service was quick and the staff friendly.
After horrible experience and food at Sweet Marie's Bakery, was so glad to find this place! Food was super! But you better get there early as they were out of cinnamon rolls, but upon showing up next day earlier-it was worth it! Took them on our island tour! You've got to try this place!

5. I can make a difference in the world. Right now, I can think of giving back, donating, volunteering, or just respecting others to benefit the world including myself. Best of all, there's probably an inumerable ways I can benefit the world. I can also use my hobbies or interests to accomplish what I want in a positive way.
6. I don't have to listen to something someone said or even my own thoughts. I should try to understand them but If I believe something will hurt me, then I have every right to ignore or change it as needed.
7. I can always try something new if things don't work out.
8. There is something I am interested in or good at. I can always improve my skills and foster new abilities. There is something I'm good at, and I can also recognize myself for it.
9. I can stretch my imagination to any distance or place. I have the ability to not only imagine but act upon my imagination too.
10. Every little thing can be used positively or as a learning tool. I don't have to let something hamper my goals or happiness. Any problem can be used as a learning experience or let go of all together.

Eminem's Retro 'Berzerk' Video Fails to Take Its Own Advice
What's saying "fuck it" about rose-tinted old-school nostalgia?
There's a respectable precedent for the Beasties-and-Billy Squier throwback nature of Eminem's chart-crashing "Berzerk." Killer Mike's El P-produced 2012 album R.A.P. Music was a "stunning anachronism," we wrote; that record, which led to this year's Run the Jewels collaboration, was open-minded, noisy, and creative enough to avoid being simply old-fashioned. "Berzerk," by contrast, leans harder on references to other rappers and rap songs, and that's also the case in the song's newly released official video.
As demonstrated in an awkward but brilliantly attention-getting preview during Saturday night's ESPN college football coverage, the "Berzerk" clip pairs famous cameos (Kendrick Lamar, Rick Rubin) with old-school visual allusions (vintage sports jerseys, the "So What'cha Want" video). The full version offers just that much more opportunity for reference-spotting — keep your eye out in particular for brief Kid Rock appearances. Another new addition is black-and-white footage of a heated blackjack game. "Life's too short to not go for broke," we're repeatedly told, but that's almost the opposite of what Eminem is doing here. When you're leaning on tradition and industry clout, you're definitely not starting from the bottom.
As an aside, the mouths-agape face Eminem and Rick Rubin are making in the video's closing seconds closely recalls the one that set the Internet atwitter during that previously mentioned football game. Eminem's MMLP2 is due out November 5; it's one of SPIN's 50 Fall Albums You Gotta Hear.

A little too easy for comfort
This is my editorial for the Winter 2014 issue of HardCopy magazine:
I recently succumbed to my desires, and the repeated pleading of my wife (who was getting pretty fed up of me borrowing her iPad), and bought myself a tablet. I didn't intend to. What I really wanted was a notebook PC; something that had a decent keyboard so I could actually do some proper work in a café or on a train, but small and light enough to fit in a shoulder bag. A MacBook Air would have done nicely, but I'm getting too old to learn yet another operating system, and they are pretty expensive. I toyed with the idea of a 'convertible', and even considered a Microsoft Surface.
But then I came across the Lenovo Miix 2, and I was hooked. It uses one of the latest quad-core Intel Atom processors and 32GB of solid state memory, which means it's pretty fast and has a decent battery life. It runs the full version of Windows 8.1, and even comes with Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint and OneNote 2013 ready installed at a third of the price of a MacBook Air. I took some convincing that I could live with an 8-inch screen, but it is incredibly light and really very usable. I haven't touched my wife's iPad since. Read more…
The breakup of the Internet
This is my editorial for the Summer 2014 issue of HardCopy magazine:
When we look back at the first few decades of the 21st century, in a couple of decades from now, what will be our take on the Internet? Like most people, I have always assumed that it will continue to grow, getting faster and more ubiquitous as technologies develop, and burgeoning with endpoints as the Internet of Things comes on line, but essentially the same as now. However recently I have begun wondering whether the view might be somewhat different: that instead we will look back with fondness at an era when the Internet blossomed, before falling apart, an inevitable victim of the machinations of governments and corporations.
The Internet was recently described by Vladimir Putin as a "CIA project", and he does have a point. It did indeed originate in a US government funded project to link organisations involved in the Cold War and the Space Race. However those organisations included the Stanford Research Institute, the University of Utah, MIT and Harvard, where the students who went on to create many of the technologies we now take for granted were given unprecedented levels of funding to research almost anything they wanted.
Military communications moved to MILNET in 1983, and then in the late 1980s, once what remained had developed into something capable of handling the traffic, the process of "commercialising and privatising" began. What we now call the Internet was officially opened for "private and business use" in 1992, and the first websites appeared shortly after. Thanks to the original investment of US taxpayers' money, and the relatively enlightened manner in which it was handed over to the private sector, we now have a network that spans the globe and has in general been driven by a desire to create a level and secure playing field for everyone.
However that network is now under threat. Snowden's revelations reveal that not only the National Security Agency but intelligence agencies around the world have been 'hacking the Internet' with gay abandon, often with the cooperation of the companies that run it. As The Economist stated in its article 'The Snowden effect' (24 Jan 2014), "the big consequence … will be that countries and companies will erect borders of sorts in cyberspace." Then there is the Federal Communication Commission which is looking to allow broadband companies to charge companies for higher speed connections, so creating a multi-tier Internet that gives priority to big business. And finally there's the shadowy Trans-Pacific Partnership which has designs on our freedom of speech and right to privacy.
These are complex issues which makes it difficult to raise awareness, but unless we do, we won't know what we stood to lose until it's already gone.
Teaching code in primary schools
This is my editorial for the Spring 2014 issue of HardCopy magazine:
Back in 1978, the BBC's Horizon broadcast an episode called 'Now The Chips are Down', which predicted mass unemployment as a result of the microprocessor. It was followed a year later by a six-part series on ITV which made similar predictions. So seriously were the issues taken that the government launched the Microelectronics Education Programme (MEP) which aimed to "help schools prepare children for a life in a society in which devices and systems based on microelectronics are commonplace and pervasive." It called for revisions to the curriculum, specialist teacher training and the provision of microcomputers in secondary schools throughout the land. It also spawned the BBC Computer Literacy Project and the much-loved BBC Microcomputer. Read more…
Is Android the new Windows?
This is my editorial for the Winter 2013 issue of HardCopy magazine:
There are two distinct sides to the computer industry. On one sit the hardware manufacturers. For them, each unit produced costs money to make and money to ship, and the industry operates in much the same way as that of the car or the TV. For the past decade, particularly since Apple adopted the Intel architecture, there has been little to distinguish one manufacturer's product from another, which means a greater reliance on brand awareness. However competition is fierce and it is difficult for one brand to dominate the market for long. Apple only succeeded in carving a niche by firmly establishing itself early on as a supplier of luxury goods at premium prices.
On the other side are two industries that have benefited from hitherto unprecedented economies of scale, namely those involved in software and the silicon chip. Developing something like an Intel i7 Core processor or a modern operating system is extremely costly. Against that the cost of creating a copy, or even millions of copies, is insignificant – and the more copies you create, the thinner that initial investment gets spread. Read more…
Definitive statements
Matt Nicholson uncovers five quotes that define 30 years of computing
This article originally appeared in the Summer 2013 issue of HardCopy magazine.
Thirty years is a long time in any industry, let alone one as fast-moving as this. By 1983, when Grey Matter first set up shop, the IBM PC had been around for a couple of years, but there were only a few early clones about, and Apple had yet to launch the Macintosh. The Commodore 64 was more common than the IBM PC, and the Apple II was still going strong, as was the Sinclair Spectrum and the BBC Micro. In the business world, CP/M was more popular than MS-DOS.
But the computer industry is as much about personalities as it is about technology. We now regard people such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs as being the movers and shakers, but at the time they were no more aware of the way the industry would grow and change than anyone else. And in hindsight, some of the things they said in the heat of the moment are worth revisiting.
"Well, Steve… I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbour named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it." Bill Gates, Microsoft, 1984
Contrary to common belief, the graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that we all 'know and love' were not invented by Apple or Microsoft. In fact, most of the relevant ingredients came out of work carried out for Xerox at its Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) much earlier. By the mid-1970s, researchers at Xerox PARC were sitting in front of GUIs running on networked workstations, sending each other emails, and printing on laser printers. However without microprocessors, the technology was prohibitively expensive.
Fascinated by the new microcomputers that were beginning to appear, and realising that the company they worked for was too big and cumbersome to compete, a small group of Xerox executives came to an agreement with Steve Jobs that would allow Xerox to purchase a $1m stake in Apple in exchange for a demonstration of this technology. The result was first the Apple Lisa and then the Apple Macintosh in 1984, both developed with the help of a number of engineers who left Xerox to join Apple. Read more…
Intel Software Conference 2013
This article originally appeared in the Summer 2013 issue of HardCopy magazine.
The annual Intel Software Conference is always worth attending, and not just for its location (this year, a converted chateau just outside Chantilly). Intel has been the driving force behind the personal computer industry from the beginning, and introduced this series of events in 2006 as a way of alerting developers to the need to master the parallel programming techniques that will allow them to take advantage of multi-core processors.
The industry has changed considerably in the intervening years, and so has this conference. Initially the focus was on Intel Core processors on the desktop and Intel Xeon in the servers. Intel's main weapon here has been Parallel Studio. Introduced in 2009, this collection of tools and libraries is aimed primarily at optimising C/C++ code for multi-core processing. Read more…
Who are you?
Identity theft can be devastating for both individuals and companies. Matt Nicholson finds out how you can combat it.
This article originally appeared in the Spring 2013 issue of HardCopy magazine.
1958 saw the publication of a short novel by science fiction writer Algis Budrys called Who? in which a Cold War scientist by the name of Dr Lucas Martino is caught in a devastating explosion at a secret research centre. He is 'rescued' by the Soviets who, in response to increasing diplomatic pressure, return him to the Americans several months later. However the man they return has undergone not only lengthy interrogation but also extensive surgery, to the extent that he is now unrecognisable. The rest of the book is devoted to the efforts taken by intelligence agent Shawn Rogers to determine whether this is actually Martino, who is vital to the Allied war effort, or a Soviet spy impersonating Martino, in which case he needs to be kept well away from Martino's work. The task proves extremely difficult.
Although written over 50 years ago, the novel goes to the heart of an increasingly important problem: how we establish and protect our electronic identity. For most of us the solutions we adopt are laughably insecure, but the effects of identity theft can be absolutely devastating. Read more…

Dr. Eva Feldman, Principal Investigator, To Update Interim Data On Neuralstem ALS Trial
ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Neuralstem, Inc. (NYSE Amex: CUR) announced that Eva Feldman, MD, PhD, principal investigator of the Phase I trial to test Neuralstem's human spinal cord stem cells, NSI-566, in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease), will update trial data at the American Neurological Association annual meeting on Monday, October 8th ( http://www.aneuroa.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3311). Dr. Feldman's poster presentation, "Completion and Outcomes of Phase I Intraspinal Stem Cell Transplantation Trial for ALS," will be up from 11:30-6:30. Dr. Feldman will be discussing the data between 5:30-6:30.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20061221/DCTH007LOGO )
Dr. Feldman is the President of the American Neurological Association, as well as Director of the A. Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute and Director of Research of the ALS Clinic at the University of Michigan Health System. Dr. Feldman is an unpaid consultant to Neuralstem.
About the Trial The Phase I trial to assess the safety of Neuralstem's spinal cord neural stem cells and intraspinal transplantation method in ALS patients commenced in January 2010, and consisted of 18 treatments in 15 patients. The trial was designed to follow a risk escalation paradigm. The first 12 patients were each transplanted in the lumbar (lower back) region of the spine, beginning with non-ambulatory and advancing to ambulatory cohorts. The trial then advanced to transplantation in the cervical (upper back) region of the spine. The first cohort of three was treated in the cervical region only. In an amendment to the trial design, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the return of previously-treated patients to this cohort. Consequently, the last cohort of three patients received injections in the cervical region in addition to the lumbar injections they had received earlier. All injections delivered 100,000 cells, for a dosing range of up to 1.5 million cells. The last patient was treated in August, 2012. The entire trial concludes six months after the final surgery.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Two top officials at the Lafayette Housing Authority have quit less than a week after the agency was mandated to get federal approval for all spending.
Executive Director Walter Guillory and Deputy Director Jonathan Carmouche left their posts Monday. Last week, the Department of Housing and Urban Development said the agency cannot spend anything without HUD backing.

text: Fair This episode was particularly strong. It's rare that Two-Face takes over completely, but when it happens he takes full advantage of it and it's rather frightening. If I let him have his way. This time, I didn't. In the eight months since I officially moved in with Harveys, I've become quite skilled at the old 'Pardon me, does this smell like chloroform to you?' technique. Figuratively speaking, of course; the sedatives I've acquired are much better suited to multiple uses. And I've learned not to let him fall onto anything hard. I didn't have much time before Two-Face would begin to get violent, so Harvey has been laying on the floor of our bedroom for a few hours. During that time I managed to burn myself on the stove, but I'm otherwise unharmed. This time. I sit beside Harvey while he comes to, making sure that the first thing he sees is me. He needs to know that I'm fine. "Eddie?" He groans, sitting up slowl

Colossians 3:1-4; Matthew 28:1-10
Rarely are cemeteries as peaceful as they seem. My boyhood friends visited them by night to consult with spirits—86-proof spirits, as I recall. Sometimes we'd glimpse young couples having soulful, breathy talks among the tombstones.
John 14:8-17, 25-27; Acts 2:1-21
When I was attending a university in Germany, I lived alone and did research in the university library. Occasionally, I was aware of that peculiar kind of loneliness called homesickness. On those days, I found solace listening to a street performer named Terry. Terry was homeless, and he spent his afternoons on an old stone bridge near the university.
John 5:1-9
In John 5, festival scenes in the holy city are juxtaposed with the view of five porticoes full of invalids. Imagine dropping by the nursing home on your way to Christmas Eve services. One place is festive, filled with pretty clothes, color, light and music. The other location features crutches, canes and people who cannot hide their desperate need for healing.
Luke 24:44-53
A worship professor voices frustration at students who conclude a Gospel reading with "Here ends the Gospel." "The gospel doesn't end," my colleague insists. "The gospel is the good news—then and now!" Reading the endings of the canonical Gospels, one imagines that the four evangelists would agree with him. Each of them has difficulties wrapping things up.
Acts 9:36-43
I was looking through a high school yearbook recently, a dangerous thing to do when 40 years have passed. I got lost staring at the silly hairstyles, the photos of teachers who are long since gone, the friend in the senior play whose name is now etched on the Vietnam memorial. It was a time of turmoil and strife in the nation. Racial tensions, assassinations and war were tearing the country apart. But you would never know that from my yearbook's carefree and hopeful class photos.
Acts 11:1-18; Psalm 148
Many Christians can name the hour and the place of their salvation. For me it was answering not one but two altar calls at Billy Graham crusades in the 1960s. For Reinhold Niebuhr, who was asked if he could name the time and place of his salvation, it was "2,000 years ago on a dusty hill named Golgotha outside Jerusalem's wall."
News that is richer than words to describe it
Some ideas are bigger than our intellectual capacity to deal with them. Some news is richer than the words we have to describe it. When that happens, we turn gratefully to art and music and works of the imagination. That's why on Easter we put the emphasis on beautiful hymns and great organ and trumpet music. Words alone cannot convey the message.
Acts 9:1-20; John 21:1-19
My mother's generation of women was raised to expect that families would depend financially on the husband's income. My mother is lively and creative, and as a child she wanted to be a doctor—but women just didn't do that. When her husband left her, her creativity and energy were channeled into supporting three children on the small income from a job initially intended to supplement the family's welfare and provide a personal challenge.
Acts 5:27-32; John 20:19-31
"We are witnesses to these things," said Peter. Yet as the gospel for the second Sunday of Easter opens, "these things" do not include Jesus' resurrection. That morning Peter had seen an empty tomb with some scattered linens. He had witnessed absence, not resurrection. At that point, he had not even witnessed Jesus' death—he had missed his chance. Yet soon Peter becomes one of the boldest and most powerful of witnesses to Jesus' message, death and resurrection. Clearly something happened.
Luke 24:1-12
Chances are that your world is either experiencing or anticipating an awakening earth after months of winter slumber. Grass is turning green, azaleas are splashing the landscape with brilliant reds, dogwoods are sprouting pink and white blooms—little Easter catechisms shaped like crosses and complete, each one, with a crown of thorns. When the birds begin their morning songs these days, and the bees their carpentry, we imagine that the sounds they make are Easter music served up by nature, as the church's most important holy day coincides with the renewed activity of creation.

NOGALES, Ariz. -- Two people are in custody after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized cocaine and heroin at the Port of Nogales this week.
Officers at the Dennis DeConcini crossing referred a 19-year-old Nogales man for additional inspection of his Dodge truck Tuesday morning.
A routine inspection of the vehicle led to the discovery of five packages hidden between the vehicle's radiator and firewall. The packages contained nearly 14 pounds of cocaine worth an estimated $145,000.
Later in the day, officers at the Mariposa crossing referred a 44-year-old Nogales woman for a secondary inspection of her Ford SUV and discovered she was concealing three packages around her midsection.
Officials said the packages contained more than 4 pounds of heroin valued at approximately $58,000.
Officers seized the vehicles and drugs, and referred both people to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.

Map: Hazmat situation
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Scottsdale and Phoenix fire departments responded to a meat storage plant after workers started complaining of headaches Friday morning.
One worker drove himself to a hospital before hazardous-materials crews arrived at the plant near Hayden and Redfield roads in Scottsdale at around 7 a.m.
Nine workers were evaluated and three were transported to area hospitals with symptoms that were not life-threatening, according to Scottsdale Fire Department Division Chief Jay Ducote.
Hazmat crews detected high readings of carbon monoxide in the warehouse. The area was ventilated, but Ducote said it took a while to get the CO to normal levels.
The problem was isolated to a propane-powered forklift and it was taken out of service for inspection.
Workers eventually were allowed back into the building.

Neymar claims to be embracing the pressure placed on his shoulders as he attempts to fire Brazil to World Cup glory.
As the poster boy of Brazilian football, Neymar is expected to shine on home soil this summer and deliver a sixth global crown.
The weight of a nation would weigh heavy on some, forcing them to buckle and underperform in the brightest of spotlights.
Neymar, though, has grown accustomed to being the centre of attention and the Barcelona forward says he will not be letting anything distract him from the ultimate goal.
He said in the Daily Express: "It's been a dream since I was young, and today it's right before me: I'm Brazil's No 10, I'm going to play the World Cup, in my own country.
"I can't see that as pressure. It has to give me pride and happiness to take on to the pitch.
"Everyone says winning the World Cup is an indescribable joy, so I'm dying to feel that myself. I can't wait to shout: 'We're champions'.
"People say, 'You're under pressure, being the big game in the squad'. But I'm not under pressure. I'm happy.
"I've always done things my way. Since I was 13 the media have been saying I'd be the new Robinho. I'm someone who doesn't really worry.
"If you don't tell me that I'm Neymar and that I play for Barcelona and Brazil, I'll forget it. People imagine me as they see me on television, but I am completely different because I don't feel pressure about anything."
Neymar is feeling relaxed as he believes Brazil have assembled the best possible unit to take on the world, with coach Luiz Felipe Scolari a major part of their plans having landed football's biggest prize back in 2002.
"The coach talks about 2002 a lot. He says that the World Cup is the toughest tournament," added Neymar.
"There's no room for error, you must be at full speed from the start. It's a short tournament where your margin for error is smaller than other matches.
"And he talks about the pleasure of winning, how good it feels. He's certainly going to help us win another one.
"The World Cup has always been my goal in life. It's funny that today it's nearly come true. To win the World Cup is what I want more than anything."

E Michigan 25
(1-5, 0-4 away)
Army 50
(3-4, 2-2 home)
Coverage: CBS Sports Network
12:00 PM ET, October 12, 2013
Michie Stadium, West Point, NY
Top Performers
Passing: T. Benz (EMU) - 223 YDS, 2 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: T. Baggett (ARMY) - 18 CAR, 304 YDS, 4 TD
Receiving: B. Hill (EMU) - 4 REC, 91 YDS, 1 TD
WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Government shutdown, Eastern Michigan's defense -- nothing could stop Army and its newest offensive star on Saturday.
Terry Baggett ran for four touchdowns -- including a 96-yard score -- and a school record 304 yards, the highest in Division I this season, as Army came back to beat Eastern Michigan 50-25 for the fifth time in six games.
Baggett's performance broke Michael Wallace's mark of 269 yards set in 1999 and marked the first 300-yard rushing performance for Army, which debuted in 1890.
"People keep telling me, `Man, you just broke the Army record for a single game," the beaming junior said. "It hasn't hit me yet."
Larry Dixon added 69 yards and a score for the Black Knights (3-4), who went up 22-15 on Trenton Turrentine's one-yard touchdown with 9:46 left in the second and never looked back. Turrentine finished with 92 yards.
Tyler Benz was 17 for 26 for 223 yards, two touchdowns and an interception for the Eagles (1-5, 0-2 MAC), while Bronson Hill rushed for 143 yards and a touchdown.
Army's rare triple-option offense figured to present a challenge for Eastern Michigan, which had given up a combined 995 total yards over the past two weeks; Army finished with 551 all-purpose yards.
"Guys rose up and made plays," Army coach Rich Ellerson said. "The whole offense feels great about those numbers, feels great about that W."
The Eagles got on the board first on a 17-yard touchdown strike from Benz to Hill on third-and-7. Benz dropped back and evaded Hayden Pierce's sack attempt in time to connect with an open Hill for the score.
Earlier on the drive, Hill turned a screen pass into a 27-yard scurry as the Eagles drove into Army territory -- one of five straight completions by Benz on the opening drive.
Things kept going Eastern Michigan's way even after that touchdown. Picking up a botched snap on the extra point, placeholder Mark Iannotti scrambled back and heaved a prayer to Cole Gardner. The 6-foot-5 tight end made the grab and barreled just across the goal line before going out of bounds to give the Eagles an early 8-0 lead.
Army answered on the ensuing drive, buoyed by a 35-yard run by Turrentine -- who deftly split two defenders -- off a pitch left to get the Black Knights into the red zone. Two minutes later, Baggett ran up the middle and Army cut it to 8-7.
Eastern Michigan needed just three plays and 53 seconds to score again, however. On the second play of the drive, Hill broke through traffic and ran right for a 43-yard gain to Army's 12. Hill finished the drive with a touchdown on the next snap, and the Eagles went up 15-7.
Then Baggett got involved. On the first play of Army's next drive, Baggett got to the edge on a pitch and ran up the right sideline for a 67-yard score. Angel Santiago's keeper on the conversion attempt made it 15-all.
"When you have the offense executing like this, it definitely makes the job as a quarterback easier," said Santiago, who had 38 passing yards and 36 on the ground.
Turrentine's 1-yard plunge made it 22-15. Eastern Michigan cut it to 22-18 when Dylan Mulder drilled a 31-yard field goal with five seconds left in the first half, but never got any closer in losing its fifth straight.
Baggett broke through the line unscathed for his third touchdown, a breezy 34-yard run to make it 29-18 early in the second half.
Eastern Michigan was poised up to claw back after Hill turned a screen pass into a 53-yard gain, setting the Eagles up on the Army 12. But Jay Jones fumbled on the 4 after a completion.
"We knew we needed to win this game," linebacker Justin Trimble said.
Next: the coup de grace.
With Army deep in its own end, Baggett took the handoff on second down, broke a tackle and ran 96 yards -- one shy of the longest run in Army history -- and the Black Knights went up 36-18 with 9:05 remaining in the third.
Larry Dixon wanted in on the fun, too. He broke five tackles on a 30-yard touchdown run with 1:40 left in the quarter as Army went ahead 43-18.
Baggett's record performance came on 18 carries. He averaged 16.9 yards per run.
"Baggett doesn't have that kind of a game if the other backs aren't blocking," Ellerson said.
Once endangered by the government shutdown before the military academies were given the go-ahead to complete at least October's games, this game was a different result than a year ago, when Benz threw for 369 yards and five touchdowns in a 48-38 Eastern Michigan win.

Coconut Our Community Fair Trade virgin organic coconut oil comes from coconuts that are organically grown in Samoa. The nuts are gathered, selected and cracked by hand, and the flesh is cold-pressed. Our trade with Women in Business Development Inc supports several community projects, such as teaching local farmers new skills. To find out more, visit our Community Fair Trade section. Learn More →
Olive Oil Our Community Fair Trade organic olive oil is hand-picked and cold pressed in the Cilento National Park in southern Italy. The members of the Nuovo Cilento cooperative make oil from an indigenous variety of olives, which they grow on land handed down to them through the generations. The World Wildlife Fund first introduced us to the pioneering work of the cooperative, and we made them our sole supplier of Community Fair Trade olive oil. Now they are one of the largest producers of olive oil in the area, boasting some 300 members cultivating 2,000 hectares of land. Learn More →
Soya Oil We source our Community Fair Trade organic soya oil from Gebana Brazil. Gebana produces soya oil from GM-free, organically grown soya beans cultivated in the hinterlands of the Iguazu River. Gebana comprises around 350 families, mostly smallholder farmers. We have been working with them since 2006, because Gebana differs from much of the soya farming industry, which is one of the major contributors to deforestation in Brazil, by promoting sustainable farming methods and organic produce.

Improve The Design Of Your Passive Wideband ADC Front-End Network
As converter technology improves, so does the demand to resolve very high intermediate frequencies (IFs) accurately at high speeds. This poses two challenges: the converter design itself and the front-end design that couples the signal content to the converter. Even if the converter itself is excellent, the front end must be able to preserve the signal quality too.

Are the Taliban really ready for peace talks in Afghanistan?
Despite the Afghan government's declaration that the Taliban is ready for official peace talks, Taliban statements have indicated otherwise, underscoring the difficulty of dealing with a multifaceted insurgency.
Gemunu Amarasinghe/AP
Kabul, Afghanistan
The Taliban may be ready to sit down with the Afghan government for official peace talks, said Burhanuddin Rabbani, the head of Afghanistan's new High Peace Council and a former president, amid recent reports of unofficial preliminary contact with Taliban members.
Mr. Rabbani's announcement came on Thursday, just one week after the council held its inaugural meeting and the government of President Hamid Karzai claimed to be in secret peace talks with the Taliban. The Taliban, however, has denied that they are in official talks with the government. Their response underscores the difficulties the government will face negotiating with an insurgency composed of a variety of factions without central leadership.
Despite the Afghan government's apparent optimism, there are concerns about who exactly the government is talking to within the Taliban and if it is communicating with other antigovernment insurgent groups that operate within Afghanistan.
Still the government sees this as a prime opportunity to begin negotiations with the Taliban, which has opposed it since they were removed from power in 2001.
"We see some sort of willingness within the Taliban ranks to talk to the government of Afghanistan and the High Peace Council, but it's still too early to announce any kind of results from these unofficial contacts," says Baryalai Helali, spokesman for the peace program of the Afghan government. "These are much more personal contacts and there have not been any kind of official talks with the Taliban leadership."
According to Mr. Helali, members of the council have been in communication with Taliban officials at all levels of the organization.

Arsenal's Arsene Wenger to give players a breather against Portsmouth
However his plans have been affected by the unavailability through injury of Eduardo, Gael Clichy, Robin van Persie and Mikael Silvestre following the 1-0 first leg defeat at Old Trafford. Wenger will at least have Andrei Arshavin available after the Russian was ineligible for European competition as Arsenal look to extend an unbeaten league run of 20 matches. Related ArticlesFabregas: Don't single me out for punishmentArsenal target Santa CruzChelsea brush off Barca barbsMan United 1 Arsenal 0Hands up if you have O'Shea on your shirtBarcelona academy sets the standard"I want to give some players a breather who need one, but as well it is very important for us to get closer to Chelsea and I do not want to give any hope to [Aston] Villa either," said Wenger. "We want to keep our run going and win the game. For the weekend we have lost Eduardo. He has done his groin again unfortunately. Rio Ferdinand fell on him when he had that accident. "His knee went on his groin and that detached some fibres. Silvestre has a groin injury as well. "We have not scanned them yet, so we don't know about Tuesday, but they both miss Saturday for sure. "Robin van Persie is out for the weekend and we will only know very, very late if he could be available for Tuesday or not. We may not know till Tuesday. Gael Clichy is definitely out." Former Manchester United defender Silvestre added: "We could have conceded more goals, but to go away from Old Trafford just 1-0 down is not a bad result. It gives us more hope to qualify. "We have to look at it in a positive way. At 1-0 we can turn the situation around and that is what we expect to do next week."

Partial lunar eclipses explained
A partial lunar eclipse happens when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, but they are not precisely aligned. Only part of the Moon's visible surface moves into the Earth's shadow.
What causes a partial lunar eclipse?
A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and Moon but the 3 celestial bodies do not form a perfectly straight line in space. When that happens, a small part of the Moon's surface is covered by the darkest, central part of the Earth's shadow, called the umbra. The rest of the Moon is covered by the outer part of the Earth's shadow called the penumbra.
What happens in a total lunar eclipse?

For a partial lunar eclipse to occur, 2 celestial events must happen at the same time:
- The Moon should be a full Moon.
- The Sun, Earth and Moon must be aligned in almost a straight line.
Not every full Moon night
Partial lunar eclipses do not happen every full Moon night because of the inclination of the Moon's orbital plane. The Moon's orbital path around the Earth is inclined at an angle of 5° to the Earth's orbital plane (ecliptic) around the Sun. The points where the 2 orbital planes meet are called lunar nodes.
Eclipses can only happen near the lunar nodes. Lunar eclipses occur when a full Moon happens near a lunar node, and solar eclipses take place when a new Moon occurs near a lunar node.
Stages of a partial lunar eclipse
- Penumbral eclipse begins: The Earth's penumbra starts covering the Moon's surface.
- Partial eclipse begins: The Earth's umbra starts moving over the Moon.
- Maximum eclipse: The Earth's umbra covers the outer part of the Moon.
- Partial eclipse ends: The Earth's umbra no longer covers the outer part of the Moon.
- Penumbral eclipse ends: The Earth no longer casts a shadow on the Moon. This marks the end of the eclipse.
What happens in a penumbral lunar eclipse?
How to see?
Partial lunar eclipses can be seen across the night-side of the Earth. No special equipment is needed to see a partial lunar eclipse. All you need is the exact date and time for the next eclipse to be seen from where you are, the weather forecast, some warm clothes and a chair to keep you comfortable while you watch the eclipse unfold.

Officials were instructed to prevent accumulation of solid wastes in places of public congregation such as the Central and the Chathram Bus Stand and the markets
Supply of protected drinking water, sanitation and measures to prevent outbreak of diseases in the city came in for a review at a meeting conducted by P.Kannan, Additional Director (Malaria), Directorate of Public Health, and Corporation Commission V.P.Thandapani here on Tuesday.
Mr.Thandapani directed corporation engineers to ensure proper chlorination of drinking water supplied to residents. Currently, about 94 million litres a day (MLD) is supplied to residents through 65 overhead tanks. Engineers should ensure proper chlorination both at pumping stations and overhead tanks. At the ultimate stage, the water supplied to households should have a minimum chlorine concentration of 0.2 ppm and this should be ensured by the engineers of the respective areas.
He instructed officials to prevent accumulation of solid wastes in places of public congregation such as the Central and the Chathram Bus Stand and the markets. Anti-mosquito fogging and fumigation should be carried out . Officials should also prevent sale of fruits and other eatables under unhygienic conditions, especially in front of schools.
Eatables sold under such conditions should be seized. Surveillance on incidences of fever has been mounted . Addresses of people with fever and diarrhoea were being collected from hospitals and steps have been taken to improve sanitation in the respective places. All hotels have been instructed to ensure protected drinking water. Mr.Thandapani appealed to residents to desist from consuming eatables sold under unhygienic conditions. Mohan, deputy director of public health, S.Raja Mohamed, city engineer, S.Arunachalam, executive engineer, and N.Rajeswari, city health officer (in-charge) attended the meeting.

Yeah I do. One terrorist with a plastic knife can kill 300 people.
On CC Citizen with a .45 200 gr can save 299 lives.
The plane will not explode like the movies when a round goes through the fuselage. Im sure military aircraft would fall out of the sky if they really blew up. But they come home with missing wings and still live to fight another fight.
"I believe that the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms must not be infringed if liberty in America is to survive." - Ronald Reagan
That may have been true at one time, but is no longer the case (and hasn't been since 9/11), the terrorists also know this, which is why they haven't hi-jacked a plane with a box-cutter since.
Personally I have no problem with not being able to CC on a commercial flight, my gun isn't my only means of self-defense, nor is it my first means of self-defense and you're more likely going to have to deal with an unruly/drunk passenger, then you are a terrorist.

IDK, one missed round in SD on a plane could depressurize.
NRA Member
The wings aren't pressurized, just the cockpit and the pilot is already wearing a helmet/mask. Airliners have a mask in the cockpit, but they have to get it out and put it on.
Personally, I don't think average Joe should be able to CC on a plane due to comparing the risk/reward, plus there are lots of other options for defense/offense.
I have no problems with no firearms on an aircraft. I have known some people that shouldn't be anywhere near a gun and yet they have a permit. It wasn't too long ago when a commercial pilot accidentally fired off a round in the cockpit. Can you imagine some drunk passenger fooling around with a gun, or someone who decides to make a fashion statement while committing suicide?
Monsters are real and so are ghosts. They live inside of us, and sometimes they win.
~ Stephen King
The same arguments some of y'all are making for not carrying on a plane can be applied to city buses, trains, restaurants, schools, etc.
If a CC holder wouldn't drink while carrying on the ground, why would he drink while traveling on an airliner? If a CC holder is responsible enough to make decisions in a crowded mall, why not an airplane?
And I agree with the above poster that said I'm "more likely" to deal with unruly or drunk people than real a real threat while on an airliner. But that also applies to everyday life and we still carry.
I'm an airline pilot and have mixed feelings. I like the idea of pilots being armed, and possibly some attendants. However, it's very cramped in the back. Close-quarter combat and handgun training is tough. Lots to work out, but I'm not necessarily opposed to handguns in the back.
If a shot goes off in the back, we're descending and landing. The fact that a round through the fuselage would depressurize the cabin is largely irrelevant since we're descending anyway (below 10K nobody needs supplemental O2). The plane would not desintegrate, nor would anyone get sucked out of a bullet hole.
Holger, are you an FFDO? Do you know about the program? I am/was a pilot as well. Not commercial, but I have many friends who are airline pilots, several of which are FFDOs.
To the OP:
I'm OK with the current laws about carry on a plane. There are plenty of people who CAN and do carry on planes. Any/nearly any federal agent can carry on planes, not just Air Marshals.
Also, as someone already stated, people don't put up with crap on planes anymore. Someone acts a little crazy, people subdue them. I've seen it happen.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
Thomas Jefferson
I'm ok with no CC on a plane, just give me my pocket knife back.
I do and I am a pilot. I carried years ago and some of my passengers did. We we not Part 121 airlines, and the rules we operated under only said that passengers could not be armed unless the "operator" [that was me] approved.
There is nothing of significant value above the floor of a Boeing airliner that would be damaged or cause serious flight or environmental problems.
You may remember Aloha Airlines Flight 243
Obviously, this airplane lost cabin pressure, but a few hundred bullet holes would not have caused depressurization, the outflow valves would have just closed a little.
The People Think the Constitution Protects Their Rights;
Government See IT as an Obstacle to be Over-come.
Considering that planes are private property, they shouldn't be regulated by the government. The operators/owners of planes should be able to decide what they think is best for their planes and their customers. People could choose to fly airlines that allowed licensed carry, or forbade weapons, or only allowed pilots to carry or whatever variant they thought best. Imagine that, let people decide what they think is best for themselves.
I never liked that I couldn't carry a gun on a plane. When they said I also couldn't carry my knife I quit flying. There are other modes of getting where I need to go, they take longer, thats OK for me. I never need to get anywhere in a hurry anymore.
I'm not...yet. I just haven't gotten around to going through the course. I work for a big cargo op, and I don't think it's quite as important to have armed pilots on our jets as it is on the passenger carriers. I'm also on a military leave of absence right now. I have every intention of going through the FFDO process once I go back to airline flying (if the program is still around).
I see no reason that you shouldn't be armed while flying and all through the airport, if you are afraid of wild shots take a look at the law enforcement and they can fly armed. The fact is if the people on the 911 flights were armed it would have never happened, it wouldn't even have been considered.

Nottingham Forest manager Billy Davies denied that his side were lacking 'confidence and belief' following a 1-1 draw against Leeds.
The East Midlands side started on fire at the City Ground and deservedly took the lead through Dexter Blackstock's ninth-minute effort.
But the home side failed to build on their opening spell and paid the price when Lloyd Sam grabbed a share of the spoils thanks to a delightful header.
"In the first half, we really should have had the game dead and buried," said the Forest boss.
"I think we should have been three up by half-time which would have been a fair reflection on our play.
"What we have got to do is learn to handle that type of game when it is stop and start. We must get on top of teams and take it from there.
"There is no doubt in my mind that this team are working very hard, showing lots of positives but still have lots to learn.
"Confidence is never a problem with this team."
