CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's soccer team returns home this weekend for a Friday afternoon affair against McNeese State at the Dugan Family Soccer and Track Stadium. The match is slated for a 3:30 p.m. start.
The Cowgirls (5-5-1, 0-3-0 SLC) are also seeking to get on the board in conference action, coming off a tough 1-0 loss in double overtime at the hands of Sam Houston State last weekend. MSU has also dropped affairs to Nicholls (3-0) and Southeastern Louisiana (1-0) in league play, and has not found the back of the net in its last five contests.
McNeese has had even scoring balance so far this year, with Tori Lasiter's four goals best on the team. Jordan Beasley and Haley Lyons also have chipped in three goals apiece, with a total of 10 Cowgirls having scored goals on the season. Lauren Sestak has been a standout at keeper, playing in eight games with seven starts, posting an .833 save percentage and a 1.14 goals against average.
The Islanders are in search of their first conference victory, having fallen in four one-goal affairs in Southland play this year. Last weekend, A&M-Corpus Christi gave conference leader Oral Roberts all it could handle, taking the Golden Eagles down to the wire in a 2-1 defeat. The Islanders have lost three 2-1 games, with a 1-0 loss to Southeastern in addition.
Individually, Yvette Franco has been the standout, with her eight goals and 18 points best on the team. Brooke Erdmann and Alyssa Miller each scored goals last weekend for the Islanders, as Miller's was her second tally of the year. In net, Audrey Baldwin has been nothing short of stellar, with her 71 saves leading the conference. She has posted a .755 save percentage on the season.
For all the latest on Islanders Soccer, be sure to follow the team on Twitter and Instagram (@IslandersSoccer) and like the team's official Facebook page.

Knitter's Review
January 19, 2012
The latest knitting news usually comes from TNNA, the semiannual trade show taking place in Phoenix this weekend.
But last weekend at Vogue Knitting Live in New York we heard big news from Alice Starmore, and we got previews from Ysolda Teague, Addi, and the Buffalo Wool Co. I have the full scoop, with pictures.
An Icelandic Adventure
When Knitting Iceland approached me about participating in a tour, I couldn't jump fast enough. The agenda has me giddy. We'll have workshops about yarn and wool and Lopi sweater design. We'll head up into the mountains to watch the Icelandic sheep being herded and sorted. And because Ragga of Knitting Iceland knows I love to bake, she has also organized a talk and tasting with Iceland's top chocolate expert. It's a trip of a lifetime, and I hope you'll join me.

It has been rescheduled for March 27 at 6 p.m. Softball at Clinton has been rescheduled for the same date and time.
The Oak Ridge tennis team moved its home match against Anderson County to Thursday. They will open the season today at home against Clinton. They also face Knoxville Central on Friday.
All three matches begin at the ORHS tennis courts in front of the school at 4:30 p.m.
Boys soccer was supposed to begin Tuesday with a game against rival Clinton but the field was still too soggy to play on. That match has not been rescheduled as of press time.

ERP Customizations...Are your CEMLI's Holding You Back?
By Di Seghposs-Oracle on Nov 05, 2013
Upgrading your Oracle applications can be an intimidating and nerve-racking experience depending on your organization's level of customizations. Often times they have an on-going effect on your organization causing increased complexity, less flexibility, and additional maintenance cost. Organizations that reduce their dependency on customizations:

- Reduce the cost of future maintenance and upgrades
- Create a foundation for easier enablement of new product functionality and business value
Oracle Consulting offers a complimentary service called Oracle CEMLI Benchmark and Analysis, which is an effective first step used to evaluate your E-Business Suite application CEMLI complexity. The service will help your organization understand the number of customizations you have, how you rank against your peer groups and identifies target areas for customization reduction by providing a catalogue of customizations by object type, CEMLI ID or Project ID and Business Process.
Whether you're currently deployed on-premise, managed private cloud or considering a move to the cloud, understanding your customizations is critical as you begin an upgrade. Learn how you can reduce complexity and overall TCO with this informative screencast.

Hey everyone,
I heard about this project as I played around with FreeNas. Unfortunately FreeNas is not working very well, so I decided to switch to Debian Lenny. Well I installed it as a VM to test everything. Now everything works, only the media server isn't working very good. My PS3 rejects all kind of videos, so I tried to use PS3 Media Player, because that was the only thing that worked on FreeNas
I just typed in:
apt-get install default-jre
apt-get install mplayer
apt-get install mencoder
apt-get install ffmpeg
Then I extracted pms-linux-1.10.5.tgz to /home/hauke/pms
chmod 777 PMS.sh
(.:2418): Gtk-warning **: cannot open display
This mashine has no GUI or anything else. It's just a shell-based system.
Does anyone has any idea?
Best regards and many greetings and sorry for my bad English.
PS(1) : I have tried as root and as user "hauke". I switched all files to
chmod 777 -R *
and I
apt-get install default-jdk
PS(2): I also
apt-get install xterm
But what do I have to use for "export DISPLAY=??.??.??.??:0.0"? Is that the own IP? I thought DISPLAY is to redirect the output

"Yeah, we want to get a look at those tax returns," offered the Obama-loving host, "because I believe we will discover that the man has not paid a nickel in United States federal income tax."
After some applause, Letterman continued, "That's right, we have a felon running for president."
Sounds exactly like what Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said in July.
I guess Letterman missed Romney revealing just two weeks ago that he paid almost $2 million in federal income taxes last year.
Why let facts get in the way when you're accusing a presidential candidate of being a felon.
This is the reason it's going to take a miracle for Romney to win...forget the fact that he'd be an infinitely better President...forget the fact that Obama has made things sooo much worse for America's small business and middle class...the average John Q Public who works too many hours to keep up with politics...gets home...sits back and watches Letterman...and he's gonna hear liberal bias on a tv show that he's watching for comedic relief...he's not watching Letterman for political commentary...especially liberal commentary that's a complete damn lie.
Like I've said, if it were an even playing field...if the media was fair, Romney would be leading Obama by double digits...it wouldn't be close.

Notes: Before Ha Ha Ha, Trey chided Fish saying, "You should know this song, Fish, because you wrote this song." After Ha Ha Ha, Trey said that he loved that song so much, that the time had come for the debut of Party Time, another Fish original that he loves even more. Before Tube, Trey said that he couldn't hear what song a group of fans were shouting for, saying that it sounded like "Snoop." Trey then joked, "You said 'Snoop'? He's right back here, Snoop Dogg, everyone!" Finally, he started Tube, saying that he thought that was the song they were requesting. After Alaska, Trey offered some kind words for his guitar tech, Brian Brown, adding, "No Brian, no guitar."

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "2009 Late Summer Tour."
I was preparing myself for a letdown. Got it.
Negatives include...
c'mon boys I waited 15 years for this!!
definitely a solo HR and the rest of the 1st set was so/so.
the last few songs of the 1st set were a huge bathroom break. I felt so unsatified.
Tweezer opener really didn't do it for me, sorry.
I was really wondering when this show was going to get good.
15 years people, 15 freaking years and they give me...
I was getting restless.
(when did the audience start yelling HOOD? Not sure how much I like that).
a lackluster show
****** I hate to say anything negative,
Had to give some shit for that.
The set list was somewhat odd, but i didnt care....the boys are back and the show must go on...
I know this is one of the least favorite shows of 2009, but still worth a listen if you never heard it.
This show was '09, so still a tiny bit of rust, but a vn effort from the boys.
Set 1 - KDF was a personal highlight as one I was really looking forward to hearing & did not disappoint, always love Sloth & Ester, Axilla, Foam. Debut of Party Time so much fun, and quite a few newbies - wish I could go back & relive the Stealing Time.
Set 2 - Alaska, 46, Hood stand on their heads.
E - GDBT had the joint shaking.
Emu, thanks for the smackdown. I am personally grateful to be living in the era of this band, one of the greatest musical experiences ever presented to ears & souls. Whatever you do, take care of your shoes.
Sounds like they forgot the ending to the Crowd Control opener, which was a good song choice to me but not great. KDF is one of my favorite new Joy songs and this one rocks! No complaints from me on this one. Fish does show some weakness on Sloth but overall its good. Beauty is probably not totally loved by the community but this one is pretty solid if you give it a chance. Axilla rocks plain and simple, not the tightest one Ive heard but good. Then a double shot of more old school songs, which I love, with a decent Foam and a rare Esther. Both songs are what I would call rusty gold, rusty playing on golden songs. Trey has some minor problems in Foam and Mike in Esther. A double shot of Fishman songs! ?? Complete with stage banter from Trey and Fish, which I love to hear. Ha Ha Ha is funny and rocking, and then you get the high-energy debut of Party Time. It sounds like the boys are having fun. More funny stage banter as a decent Tube is played by request as you can hear the crowd yelling for it as far back as Esther. Again, its good but not great. Now I think my favorite new Joy era song is Stealing Time and this one doesnt disappoint, it just rocks! A second Page song in the first set is kind of rare with a solid Strange Design. Not bad and I dont mind hearing this one. The following complaining is just me being a jaded vet, but getting TTEd to end your first set is cruel at best, and it happened to me a couple of times in 2009. I openly dont like this song. Even from a purely musical standpoint, this version is sloppy all over the middle. BUT! It doesnt diminish how solid I thought the first set actually was, at least to my ears anyways...
I do concede that this is a loose, lackluster Tweezer to open the second set. It was not very tight at all to me. Taste was ok, again not great but a pretty good jam. Trey repeats the lyrics to open an average Alaska. And you can hear Page say, Sing it a third time! Then even more stage banter from Trey afterwards. Another song I openly dislike is Let Me Lie, and now Im feeling a little more sympathy for the other reviewers, especially for those who were there. Blah! 46 Days is a good redemption song after that. This one has a good long jam that goes through a few different phases but kind of ends abruptly. Another lead vocal part for Page tonight as he croons a rare Sweet Nuthin which was pretty well played. I have not been impressed by 2009 Hoods and this one is no exception. The playing is not that tight through the composed middle section but the jam is nice at the end and its been a good, solid set closer for years.
GTBT gets the encore spot tonight and this one has some messy parts from Trey but Page gets one more chance to shine on the last lead vocal, overall it rocks, as usual. The expected Tweeprise follows to send everyone home with a smile.
Im going to give this show four stars, only to up the average score, but in my heart I know it should only get three stars at best. Its a very controlled Page and Trey heavy show. Fish is pretty solid, as usual, and Mike just seems like hes along for the ride tonight.
I would like to expand the highlights list to include: KDF, Beauty, Party Times debut, and Stealing Time to go along with the aforementioned 46 Days.
Set 1 Highlights - Crowd Control was an appropriate opener considering how hard it was to find a ticket. I waited in line in hopes the band would release some last minute GA tickets. Which they did! So that was awesome. Party Time was a lot of fun. Other than that not much to write home about.
Set 2 Highlights - 46 Days had some nice length to it. Harry Hood was nice.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 email@example.com (Carson City, NV; July 30, 2012) — Lincoln County residents can now register to vote and make changes to their current voter registration profile through www.registertovotenv.gov and nvsos.gov/votersearch, the online system on Secretary of State Ross Miller's website. The Secretary of State Elections Division and the Lincoln County Clerk collaborated on the project that allows all voters to have electronic access to their information. To utilize the online system, citizens need to be at least 18 years old and have a Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) driver's license or DMV-issued identification card. The application process pulls the signature on file with the DMV and applies it to the voter's registration record, which will then be used for identification for all future elections. Registered voters can access their voting information at nvsos.gov/votersearch by entering their first and last names, date of birth, and driver's license number or social security number. From there, they can update their address or change their party affiliation without completing a paper application and submitting it to the Lincoln County Clerk. Online voter registration is currently available to residents with DMV-issued identification in Clark, Churchill, Lyon, Elko, Humboldt, Pershing, Washoe, Eureka, Lander, Nye, Storey, Esmeralda, Mineral, White Pine and Lincoln counties. The Elections Division is collaborating with all Nevada counties to launch online voter registration prior to the general election. Eligible voters who are presently registered in another Nevada county but living in Lincoln County may now register with the online voter system, which is federally funded by the Help America Vote Act. Residents have until 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 6 to register by mail or online to vote in the November 6 general election.
To find information about registering to vote, visit the "Election Center" on the Secretary of State's website, www.nvsos.gov, or by clicking here.

Tuesday October 16, 2012
ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia Tech is starting over.
After a dismal first half of the season, the Yellow Jackets (2-4, 1-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) return from an off week with a new defensive coordinator and hopes of salvaging a respectable record.
Head coach Paul Johnson fired Al Groh last week, a couple of days after Georgia Tech lost its third straight game -- all of them while giving up more than 40 points, the first time that's happened in school history.
Charles Kelly has taken over as defensive coordinator on an interim basis, but Johnson is very much involved in the new scheme even while calling the offense. He's demanding a simplified approach, saying there was too much confusion under Groh.
Georgia Tech faces another struggling team Saturday, hosting Boston College (1-5, 0-3).

STOCKTON - A 16-mile chase at speeds of up to 105 mph ended early Monday with the arrest of 50-year-old Eric Randle on suspicion of driving under the influence, resisting arrest, and drug and traffic charges, police said.
Officers tried to stop a car for a traffic violation about 1:45 a.m. Monday at Aurora and Church streets, but the driver wouldn't yield, police said.
They chased the vehicle for 13 minutes, a pursuit that went from surface streets onto Highway 99.
The fleeing car eventually crashed into two parked cars near Belleview Avenue and 11th streets, where the driver ran away, police reported. Officers found Randle nearby and arrested him. They said he was in possession of a small amount of cocaine.
STOCKTON - A 19-year-old woman was robbed of an iPad, then confronted again and robbed of her backpack and purse by the same pair, police said.
The woman was walking near Center and Park streets about 6:15 p.m. Sunday when a man and a woman confronted her about an iPad. One of them punched the victim, and she gave up the tablet.
A short time later, the victim was near Hunter and Poplar streets when the robbers approached again, knocked her to the ground, punched her and jumped on her, police said.
They took her backpack and purse and fled. The victim was taken to a hospital for treatment.

CIOs Must Push Companies to Innovate and Take Risks
I was intrigued when, flying back from the United Kingdom in November, I read a Financial Times column by former world chess champion Garry Kasparov and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel.
Their column, "Our Dangerous Illusion of Technological Progress," suggests that we have underperformed in technology, that we are too careful, and that we have not really used technology to solve many of the problems we face today. I couldn't agree more.
Kasparov and Thiel argue that we have become a generation of non-risk takers—playing it too safe and not willing to innovate and create a new global reality that technology offers. Many inventions have been made, but there is too little investment to bring them to fruition and commercial success. And remember that commercial success means mass production and competitive pricing for the economy. As Kasparov and Thiel note, "without innovation, faith in the stock market is a kind of cargo cult."
OK, so there was investment during the 1990s with the dot-com boom, which I agree was a hype mistaken as innovation. Yes, eventually, through IT, we have produced all kinds of "cute" mechanical phones and other devices, but Kasparov and Thiel are right: today's technological innovations have not led to fundamental improvements in things like energy, mass transportation, or in how to protect cities from storms like Hurricane Sandy.
The question is, why?
Perhaps it's about the stock market, which too often makes innovation too pragmatic and risk-averse. We manage our great companies for tomorrow's high price and, to save money, resist investment in innovation. Yes, we celebrate our new great companies and the famous startups that make new entrepreneurs rich and famous—but are they really addressing the long-term economic problems? We need large, established companies to start investing in innovation like they did in the 1950s and 1960s—investments that improved both the social and economic world.
So, who will do this? I am getting sleepy waiting for the CEO and boards of directors. CIOs, here is another opportunity: Turn these innovative ideas into great business plans and take more risks.
We know the ideas are there. I have more than 80 talented graduate students in our Executive Masters of Technology Management at Columbia University. I see student projects filled with great ideas, yet so many cannot get companies interested. We need CIOs to drive innovation through sound and compelling plans that will ultimately benefit the business and society.
What is more compelling is that my research strongly shows that our successful CIOs—especially those with longevity—are taking those risks and are helping to transform their companies. That is why, for example, Filippo Passerini at Proctor & Gamble is also a group president overseeing global business services.
CIOs can change the world with the support and funding from our established companies. Think about it: the technology is out there. The challenge is converting it into a sound business plan—and having the guts to take risks!
Dr. Arthur Langer sits on three faculties at Columbia University and oversees executive masters programs in IT management. He is also founder and chairman of Workforce Opportunity Services, a nonprofit that helps companies build stronger talent pipelines by training underserved young adults and military veterans.

STOCKTON -- Police tased a man who they say became combative on the Miracle Mile this afternoon.
Officers for the Stockton Unified School District Police Department confronted the man at Pine Street and Pacific Avenue about 2 p.m. after receiving a report of a person carrying a gun at the nearby Adult Day School.
The suspect initially complied with orders to submit, but resisted when officers attempted to put on handcuffs, according to authorities.
The man, who is believed to be in his late 20s to early 30s, is at a local hospital receiving treatment for his wounds.
Officers have not yet recovered the weapon they believe he was carrying and are searching the area.

February is the month for comfort foods and sweet cherries. Cherry pie, chocolate-covered cherries and Black Forest cake are all good, but a flaky warm croissant stuffed with fresh cherries and thick cherry jam can be better. A croissant named for its special crescent shape goes way back in history and is still a favorite in French bakeries and as a continental breakfast in America.
On Thursday morning - Valentine's Day - I enjoyed a croissant and cup of coffee and, despite the lack of fresh Tahoe snow, I was still in heaven. It was a special day that brought back good and bad memories on the South Shore that came with love, loss, challenges, and change this month of February.
At 7 a.m. Groundhog Day, my sibling, Simon the senior Brittany, and I got on the road to Sacramento to pick up Skyler, my new, 9-week-old, tricolor blue merle Australian Shepherd puppy. As a night owl, this feat was challenging - a foreshadow to changing my serene senior life as I once knew it. Snacking on cookies and chips (I wish I had made a batch of croissants) to keep awake and deal with the twists and turns in the mountains was a prelude to my pre-puppy lifestyle.
When our eyes (his are currently hazel) met for the first time - it was puppy love. The long ride home back to the Sierra was better than expected. The docked tails of both boy dogs were wagging fast. All was calm. My 200-mile drive to sedate the dogs worked like a charm. Everyone was dog tired. Then, the 3 p.m. vet check also was lucky. My rocky raccoon eyes from lack of sleep widened when Skyler (13 pounds of fluff) received an "A" for the hands-on physical exam. Exhale.
Cherry Almond Croissants
1 tube refrigerated croissant rolls
8 tablespoons cherry jam
8 tablespoons fresh cherries, pitted, chopped
8 tablespoons almonds, sliced
Raw sugar
Cherries, fresh and whole (for garnish)
Put a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Pop open a package of rolls. On a flat surface, unroll the pre-cut eight triangle-shaped dough pieces. Put a tablespoon each of jam, cherries and nuts on each triangle (the wide end). Roll into croissant shape. Sprinkle with sugar and almonds. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Serves eight. (Pair with a pat of European-style butter or cream cheese, and fresh cherries to make these croissants even more decadent and eye-catching.)
These croissants taste sweet and hearty with the cherries and nuts, both of which are heart-healthy foods. In less than 30 minutes, eight croissants greeted me fresh out of the oven, much like when my eyes met the eyes of my new Aussie. I knew it worked. And this Valentine's Day is one that I will cherish - much like semi-homemade croissants. And when I enjoyed my croissant and coffee, I recalled months ago someone told me that I'd have a new pooch by V-Day. I felt at peace once again with the warmth of a tasty light breakfast, two dogs and a cat.
Motto: Stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something different to warm your heart and soul can be a welcome surprise that can titillate the senses.
Cherry trivia
- Cherries like blueberries are rich in disease-fighting antioxidants.
- Anything chocolate such as ice cream and truffles is a super mate with cherries.
- Cherries can lower risk for heart disease; February is Heart Health Month.
- As the story goes, George Washington chopped down his father's cherry tree and admitted the deed when questioned: "I can't tell a lie, Pa."
- Cal Orey, M.A. is an author and journalist. Her books include "The Healing Powers" series (Vinegar, Olive Oil, Chocolate, Honey, and Coffee) published by Kensington. (The Healing Powers of Honey and Coffee are offered by the Good Cook Book Club.) Her website is-www.calorey.com.-

Legendary Performances
This review was originally part of a dual review for two Legendary Performances DVDs featuring Marty Robbins and Tammy Wynette.
These two releases kick off a planned series of DVDs gathering TV performances from throughout the careers of country's greatest icons. The vintage clips on Tammy's Legendary Performances chart her progress from 1967 through 1982, while Marty's DVD presents him as a fresh-faced rising star in 1957, a veteran showman in 1979 and everything in between. Both discs are stuffed with extras, including interviews and other archival footage.

Portugal is just as sunny and beautiful as its neighbour, Spain. And just as the latter, it is an excellent holiday destination, but less overrun by tourists. Portugal is situated in southwestern Europe on the Atlantic and enjoys a mild, Mediterranean climate. Portugal is split in two by the Tagus river. The northern part of the country is mountainous, rather rainy and cool, while the south is plainer, warmer and drier.
Faro, the capital of the Algarve region, is a charming student city in southern Portugal. Before heading for the beautiful beaches of the region, spend some time to discover Faro's historic old town full of terrace bars, the leisure marina, and well-maintained parks.
Lisbon is a living city with a rich history and a large number of monuments, churches and castles, which define the appearance of the city.
The world famous Port wine, the typical alleyways and the picturesque "zona ribeirinha" on the River Douro are all good reasons to visit Porto, and the city has even more to offer …

Digits: BlackBerry Z10 and Q10: The U.S. Carriers' Vague Plans
(This story was first posted on The Wall Street Journal Online's Digits blog at http://blogs.wsj.com/digits.)
By WSJ Staff
Research In Motion issued some bad news for BlackBerry fans in the U.S. who were hoping to get their hands on the new devices right away.
The company, which changed its name to BlackBerry, is rolling out the touch-screen Z10 version this week in the U.K. and Canada, and next week in the United Arab Emirates. But it's not expected to hit the U.S. market until at least mid-March. The keyboard-equipped Q10 won't be available until April.
Making the matter more confusing, the largest U.S. carriers all issued differing announcements about the BlackBerrys, and didn't mention official launch dates.

The Cardinal had split with its Bay Area rival, beating Cal 62-53 on Tuesday. Sunday's loss to the Golden Bears ended Stanford 81-game conference win streak.

CNA Training San Angelo TX
Anyone that wishes to become certified to practice as a nursing assistant will have to finish a training program that is approved through the State Department of Public Health's Aide and Technician Certification Section, CNA Certification Unit. In addition to the training, the nurse assistant will be mandated to sit for a state issued Nurse Aide Examination. Both the training and the exam will need to be passed for certification on the Nursing Assistant Registry.
These Classes are mandated to include 150 hours of total minimum training time. These courses can be taken at many state approved facilities, care centers, schools and establishments within the state. It is also possible sometimes to take the program at your place of employment if approved by the state beforehand. Your training hours may be separated into a hundred hours in practical training at a licensed facility and 50 hours at the class. You may be required to meet physical nursing aide requirements and criminal background clearance when you enroll. Furthermore, students may have to have obtained at least 6 hours of credit from a schooling graduation course and be certified to provide CPR.
Training courses in San Angelo TX will be based on a range of state approved subjects such as infection control, using equipment in the medical field, preparing patient meals and status reports, communication among peers and patients, abuse recognition, establishing and promoting independence among the residents, proficiency in the medical language as well as monitoring patient vitals, fluid intakes and mental state.
Graduates of the training programs are considered eligible to take the State Nurse Assistant Certification Examination. The exam is contracted by the state to Pro-metric services. This can be taken at any approved testing site as listed on the website. An application to test will be required as well as proof of identity, proof of completed training and all the related fees. The exam is issued by a computer and includes a written test that can be taken orally if the test taker is not English proficient and a practical show of skills. The computer based test is graded electronically and is either pass or fail based on a percentage gotten correct out of 60 questions. The practical examination is based on nurse aide skills from 5 areas. Scoring for the practical portion is calculated by the test giver and all skills must be a hundred percent accurate for passing. The certification comes when the test taker has accomplished passing scores on both the exams.
As a CNA, an yearly average wage of $19,000 to $36,500 may be expected according to location and skill level. In addition to a decent wage, there is a predicted growth of 21.7% for this position over the next decade.
If you are in financial need, and are for whatever reason unable to pay for your training, there are numerous options for you such as loans and grants so do not stress out about not having the money to afford these courses.

- The Best Compact Gas On Shorty
I love how KJW is cutting down their prices, but still improving on their already amazing quality gas guns. The Special Agent M600 Compact is one of their cheap 70 dollar guns that they have delivered lately. If you are looking for a cheap compact gas gun, that still keeps up great quality of guns double its price, look no further.
LOOK: It is like a compact M9, and I love that. It is very sleek and stealthy due to it being full metal. And another positive is that even the mag is metal, so the mag and gun blend into each other.
CONSTRUCTION: Full metal should always be a must. Full metal gives the M600 a nice kickback and long lasting durability. And the mag is meal also so you won't be breaking it unless you try. And speaking of the mag, it holds 26 rounds! This is amazing for a compact gun. At 2.5 pounds you get a nice weight, but not enough to put much strain on your wrist.
PREFORMANCE: Now KJW has released stronger guns with its new line-up, but at 300 FPS this is still great especially for those who don't like it so rough. The range is can get about 100 ft, but it starts to slow at 85, but again I say for a compact gun this is great (and also a sidearm like this doesn't need amazing range). What I also like about what KJW is doing, is they are making their guns non blow back. This decreases gas usage a lot. My only complaint here is that as Shorty says, "this gun is that it can not be fired single action." But what they also mention is that when you whip out your sidearm to get some quick shots in, you won't be taking the time to cock the hammer back each time you shoot.
OVERALL PACKAGE: At 73 dollars after shipping, you will be saving some good money. Full metal, a full metal mag, and preformance just as good as guns in the 100 dollars and up range, you will be getting your money's worth.
To FINALLY sum it up, here are the pros and cons:
- CHEAP $70 Price
- Good FPS
- Good Range
- Full Metal (gun and mag)
- Not A Big Gas Guzzler
- Good Iron Sights
- No Single Action
Overall, if you want a compact this is without doubt the best choice you'll find. And for 70 dollars, if you even just want a nice gas gun, this will be a great choice too.
P.S. You can also use Xtreme Gas in this gun which put the FPS at an average of about 350, but I would advise to not use constantly, for the extra power puts more strain on the gun.
- Hooooo AaaaaahNow THIS is a beautiful, nicely constructed non-blow-back gun. The velocity is superb and I got to fire this earlier this evening borrowed from one of my Airsoft team members.
I Love:
1. The velocity of 300 fps. This is ample force from any rifle what to say a handgun. Awesome. I shot at targets on the 150 ft and 200 ft ranges. I couldn't bench rest it well enough to reach the 200 ft target with any accuracy (I shot in on a raised parabola), but at 150 ft it was amazing. I can't believe that a pistol can have the range of a rifle and the hitting power of one as well (hit a few buds in practice about 40-60 feet away and they yelped.
2. It gave me 26 rounds to play with. That is more than enough for any event when you use a pistol as a second weapon for close combat shots when people suddenly appear.
3. It is accurate at 100 ft, no problem. I hit repeated bullseyes with adjustments while bench rested. Once adjusted for 100 ft, it was a terror at 100 ft. Again... I am just awed.
4. It is a full metal gun... no plastic to break... lots of strong shots to shoot, especially with the Extreme Gas 2200 with which I fired this gun tonight... come to think of it, I don't know what the muzzle velocity was... maybe more like 450 fps. Here I go again... it is awesome.
5. I like that it is not a blow back gun. I haven't fired any blow back guns except REAL guns... lots of em... and I like this gun because it doesn't blow back and it does stay on target without recoil and it does use far less gas because it doesnt' blowback, discharging some of the gas for just an effect.
6. I want one for the field. This will be my next purchase.
I didn't like:
1. That the barrel isn't a bit longer (I know the whole gun is over 7" so what do I want). Well... I get to say what I like here and I would like it if the gun were one inch longer so that it would be even more accurate at distance without bench resting it or waiting for absolutely still air (which I did).
2. It doesn't resemble any particular gun that I know of so it's a half breed or hybred or no bread or something but I am a collector of Airsoft and one of the things that sells me is identical appearance and detail. This has lots of similarities to several different guns but it looks like no particular gun (at least, I've never heard of an Agent 600).
In CONCLUSION:
Despite the fact that this is not an M9 or a P99 or a 1911 knockoff, I love it. It is an outstanding, firing, powerful, metal, well constructed, can take the high-power gas and goes awesome distances with remarkable accuracy... GUN.
- great compact gas gunim gonna start off by saying this is probably the best compact gas gun on the market right now. it holds an amazing 26 round mag and has incredible power for a smaller gun. because it isnt a blow back, i doesnt consume as much gas. the accurracy is suprsingly good for distances up to 90 feet. the gun also has a realistic weight being all metal. another advantage of it being all metal is being able to use xtreme gas with it which will easily bump the fps up to 340-360. to top it off the gun is only $70 which makes it seem like you arent paying anything for such a great gun. overall id say get the gun if you could use a new pistol or are interested in it.
- for $70 bucks, its greati used Xtreme gas in mine, and all i can say is ouch, within 50 ft it hurts. Great boot pistol, fits perfect in my ankle holster. the specs aren't bad at all for $70, it shoots hard, at 360fps, and it'll shoot easily 80-100 ft acuratly, it is about the same as my up'd Glock 36. Holds more than enough bb's to be a back up, you could use it as ur secondary if you wanted to. Also it is nearly all metal, and you can tell when holding it, it feels extremely durable. about the only thing is the hammer, if you pull it back the bb will not stay in the chamber. hope this helps!
- Pretty Nice Gun Really good gun. nnb so it doesn't use a lot of gas, good fps, reliable, and it is at a good price(thanks to shorty always buy from shorty).
Hoped it helped.
- model of gunawesome gun sweet with silencer by the way its a smith&w model 410 .40s&w with a modified trigger guard
- She's Pretty Good... Solid gun, very heavy. Full metal is a nice touch however the performance can be matched. If your looking for a gas gun in the price area, i'd say look somewhere else. The mag on this gun is not all the great. Gas leaks so much and runs out before the mag does. This mag, however, holds a great amount of bbs. The range is really good, so it power, and also acuraacy is up there. But when you wull back the hammer the bb will roll our the front. This is a good solid gun, however it is bother some to use at times. Several games the mag would get messed up and it would need to be fixed. 3.5 if i could, usually i would round up, but this does not deserve a four.
- i cant see it sufferanyone who has there doubts about getting this gun and u have the money, get it, all of these people said nothing bad about it, but they just have to make it a 3 star or a 4 star, but it is a very nice gun i assure you. has a great price, very good fps, FULL METAL, and, a 26 round clip, cmon, u know what im talkin about
- amazing pistolthis gun kicks ass, i have sold all my previous guns on ebay and bought this and some extreme gas. holy crap, the range is about 120feet and the speed is like 350fps. kjw is domanating kwa in the gas market, i say that kwa needs to make a new mac11, and a nice nbb pistol.
- WOOPS...My friend had this gun which I used a LOT!!! And it worked good for a while until it started getting problems. First the clip broke and we somehow fixed it. Then it stopped firing and we figured out the hammer broke. We couldn't fix it because the slide isn't removable. Now it is collecting dust. It was good when he got it, but it died after only about 4 months. The trigger was also a pain to pull. If you needed to pull off some fast shots, it wasn't gunna happen.
P.S. KJW makes other great guns, so don't not go with this company.
P.S.S. If you really want this gun, buy a silencer, it has threads.

SAVANNAH, Ga. – The nationally fifth-ranked University of South Carolina Aiken women's basketball team was upset in overtime by Armstrong, 69-67, in Peach Belt Conference women's basketball action on Saturday afternoon at Alumni Arena.
Despite the loss on Saturday, USC Aiken (18-3, 11-3 PBC) remains in first place in the Peach Belt Conference East Division.
The overtime loss to Armstrong (8-12, 3-10 PBC) snapped a five-game winning streak for the Pacers.
USC Aiken led by as many as 10 points in the second half.
The Pacers would only own a two-point lead though with 47 seconds remaining in regulation. Armstrong's Stephenie Coney hit two free throws with 10 seconds left to tie the game at 59-59.
USC Aiken would then not be able to score to take the lead in the final seconds of regulation to send the game into overtime.
The Pacers held the lead for almost the first four minutes of the extra period. Coney hit a 3-pointer with 1:05 remaining in the extra stanza to give Armstrong its first lead of the overtime at 66-64.
The Pirates would then hold the lead the rest of the way in their upset win over the Pacers.
Four Pacers finished in double figures in the win over Armstrong with Tiffani Moody (Raleigh, N.C./Ohio Valley University) leading the way with a team-best 14 points. She also had eight rebounds and two blocks.
Pacer point guard Brittany Hill (Mechanicsville, Va./Quinnipiac) ended the Pacer loss with 11 points, three rebounds, three steals and one assist. Hill was 7-for-8 from the free throw line in the game.
Daniela Tarailo (Crown Point, Ind./Crown Point HS) and Mackenzie Reese (Madison, Wis./Edgewood HS) were the final Pacers in double figures in the game with each scoring 10 points. Tarailo also had six rebounds, two assists and one steal, while Reese ended her efforts with four rebounds and four assists in addition to her 10 points.
Four Pirates ended the game in double figures with Demisha Wells and Tori Klewicki-McNutt leading the way with a game-high 15 points each.
USC Aiken as a team closed out its loss to Armstrong shooting 38.5 percent (25-for-65) from the field. Armstrong shot 39.3 percent (24-for-61) from the field in its win over the Pacers.
The Pacers hit just 27.3 percent (3-for-11) of their 3-point attempts as a team in the game. Armstrong was able to hit 45.5 percent (10-for-22) of its 3-point attempts as a team.
USC Aiken was strong at the free throw line in the game, connecting on 77.8 percent (14-for-18) of its free throw attempts as a team in the game. Armstrong hit just 61.1 percent (11-for-18) of its free throws in the game.
The Pacers held a 45-36 rebound advantage in the contest.
USC Aiken will next stay on the road to face off against Peach Belt Conference foe Flagler in St. Augustine, Fla. on Thursday, Feb. 14. Tip-off in the game is slated for 5:30 p.m.

El Cerrito High football player Jalen Harvey figured there was no use in waiting to make his college commitment.
Harvey, a junior who is rated a three-star wide receiver prospect by Rivals.com, made an oral commitment to Cal on Tuesday night.
"That's where I want to go and I pursued it. I'm not with all that wait stuff. When I want something, I attack it," said the 6-foot-1, 187-pounder. He said he was recruited by Cal to play wide receiver and "maybe special teams and a little bit of defense."
Harvey said he called Cal head coach Sonny Dykes and outside receivers coach Rob Likens to tell them of his decision Tuesday. Harvey mentioned Cal, UCLA and Arizona State as three teams he was considering before his decision Monday.
"I talked to every single coach that offered," Harvey said. "At the end of the day, Cal was on my mind and that's why I picked them."
Harvey has several reasons to commit to Cal, he said, including playing in front of his family.
"Plus the quarterback Jared Goff and I have a good connection," Harvey said.
Goff, a Marin Catholic High graduate who is a freshman at Cal this year, and Harvey got to know each other at a 7-on-7 football camp his sophomore year, Harvey said. They also happened to be opponents in last fall's North Coast Section Division III championship game, a 31-28 Wildcats victory in awful weather in which Goff accounted for 187 total offensive yards and a touchdown. Harvey caught six catches for 53 yards and a touchdown.
Harvey also knows Strawberry Canyon well.
"I've been running Strawberry Canyon since I was four or five. You run that hill, that's a good workout," said Harvey, who still runs a steep part of the canyon regularly.
El Cerrito will be loaded with senior talent for the 2013 season, including linebacker Derik Calhoun and defensive back Adarius Pickett, who are both four-star picks by Rivals.com. When Harvey was asked if he is talking to his teammates, such as Calhoun and Pickett, about joining him at Cal, Harvey said "They are thinking about it as it is. They make their own decisions."

For his first official Lip-Sync Off as host of the Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon picked a formidable opponent in Paul Rudd.
Rudd started things off with Tina Turner's "Better Be Good to Me." Fallon countered with an excellent cover of Foreigner's "Jukebox Hero."
But in round two, Rudd went for the kill and covered Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now." It was so good that Fallon conceded on the spot.
Sure, it wasn't quite as epic as Fallon's battle with Stephen Merchant and Joseph Gordon-Levitt last fall but it's close.
And for good measure, here's another Fallon Lip Sync-Off with The Office's John Krasinski:

Mr. Suskind and his wife will discuss his new book,
Free and open to the public. No tickets required.
A book signing will follow the program, and The Bookstall will have books available for purchase.
For more information, call 847-256-6930.
Known for his critically acclaimed book, A Hope in the Unseen, as well as four New York Times bestsellers about domestic policies and international affairs, Mr. Suskind has written his most personal work yet in Life, Animated, which describes his family's 20-year journey to connect with their autistic son, Owen, through Disney films and characters.
While Life, Animated tells of one family's remarkable story, the stunning, poignant, and highly-readable memoir also portrays the universal themes of hope, perseverance, and resilience as well as the never-ending power of storytelling. It is a book about family - and about raising a son.
A seemingly typical and talkative boy, Owen stopped communicating soon before his third birthday. He couldn't speak for many years, but he memorized dozens of Disney movies and used the films to express himself. As Owen's parents and older brother struggled to find ways to communicate with him, they discovered they could reach him when they themselves became Disney animated characters, singing and reciting from the films.
Life, Animated was excerpted in the March 7, 2014, issue of The New York Times Magazine in an article titled, "Reaching My Autistic Son Through Disney," and the book was published last spring. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch called the memoir "a wonderful book, whether or not you know a person with autism." Kirkus Reviews described Mr. Suskind as "a master journalistic storyteller" and termed the book a "deeply felt, movingly written account of raising an autistic son." The Chicago Tribune called the book an "extraordinary saga" and noted that "those looking for a smart, well-written, deeply moving, up-from-the-depths inspirational tale with a positive ending should love it."

Ex-UA student indicted; charges include making terrorist threats
Published: Friday, December 21, 2012 at 1:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 21, 2012 at 1:14 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | A suspended University of Alabama doctoral student accused of sending disturbing emails to university staff and administrators has been indicted on several charges.
Zachary Burrell, 28, has been held since Nov. 30 on charges of making terrorist threats and stalking. A 15-member grand jury returned an eight-count indictment against him on Thursday, charging him with stalking, two counts of making terrorist threats and five counts of harassing communications.
Burrell has been held at the Tuscaloosa County Jail since Nov. 30 with bond set at $500,000.
According to court documents, the physics student sent "erratic" emails including video clips of a movie depicting violent acts toward university officials between Nov. 5 and Nov. 28. Burrell was dismissed from the school in late October "for various behavioral issues," according to the deposition.
Emails were sent to UA President Judy Bonner, Dean of Students Tim Hebson, an associate director for academic affairs, an assistant director for judicial affairs and an astronomy professor.
Portions of emails sent to an assistant director for judicial affairs were included in the grand jury's indictment.
"You may want to pass this to the top, I promise you, I mean promise, if it is my dying deed that I will re-pay the University for all it has done to ruin my life. This is supposed to be a university, not a 'let's see how much like everyone else we can be' society. If the university never realizes that then they don't deserve to be called university," according to the indictment.
"I am about two seconds from saying to hell with the University of Alabama. I'm not playing games and I will sue the university for extortion, defamation of character, slander and harassment among other things if you try to force me to go to some rehab program which I do not need and this idea is a gross oversimplified solution anyway. I am losing patience with your office and would like to get back to work on my dissertation which explains where all matter in the universe came from. A topic much, much more profound and deeper than your petty public speaking and throwing stones."
According to the indictment, other statements in the e-mail included:
"And it's about taking action, plain and simple. This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time. You have to know, not fear, know that someday you are going to die. Until you know that, you have no sense of urgency. You think you have all the time in the world to do amazing things, but you may not live to see that particular someday. It's only after we have lost everything that we are free to do anything."
The indictment also alleges that Burrell sent a YouTube trailer for the movie "Dark Matter" to one email, with a comment to the effect of "Think about it." The 2007 film is based on a 28-year-old physics and astronomy student at the University of Iowa who killed four faculty members and a student before taking his own life in 1991.
Stalking and making terrorist threats are both felony charges. A charge of making terrorist threats differs from harassment or menacing charges. Alabama law states that an action can be classified as a terrorist threat if it causes disruption of school activities, causes the evacuation of a building, place of assembly or public transportation or causes a serious public inconvenience.
