Sumlin names freshman Manziel starting QB
AggieAthletics.com reports Texas A&M head football coach Kevin Sumlin announced today that redshirt freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel will be the Aggies' starting quarterback for the season opener against Louisiana Tech, Thursday, Aug. 30 in Shreveport, Louisiana. The game will be televised nationally on ESPNU with kickoff set for 6:30 p.m. central.
"Johnny has performed the best at this stage and we will proceed until the season opener with him getting the first-team reps," Sumlin said. "My policy is simple really; the best player plays. Competition is a great thing and we need more competition at all of our positions. All of our quarterbacks have competed well, and I expect them to continue to push Johnny."
Manziel (man-ZELL rhymes with yell) hails from Tivy High School in Kerrville, Texas, where he earned Parade All-America honors as well as being named the National High School Coach Association Football Player of the Year. He earned Texas Associated Press sports editors Player of the Year after a senior season that saw the righthander throw for 3,609 yards on 228-of-347 (65.7%) passing with 45 touchdowns and five interceptions. The 6-1, 200-pound quarterback also carried the ball 170 times for 1,674 yards and 30 touchdowns. He even had one touchdown reception and returned a kickoff for a touchdown.
The quarterback competition is between Manziel, sophomore Jameill Showers from Shoemaker High School in Killeen, sophomore Matt Joeckel from Arlington High School and true freshman Matt Davis who enrolled at Texas A&M in January from Klein Forest High School.
FRC shot up less than 24 hours after liberals announce Ryan would be addressing the group
Just hours after the Human Rights Campaign announced Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan would be addressing the Family Research Council, which they called a "hate group," a volunteer at a gay and lesbian center shoots up FRC's offices.
According to their own anti-speech attack rules, why aren't liberals demanding the Human Rights Campaign be criminally prosecuted for inciting violence?

FRC shooter IDed as Herdon's Floyd Corkins
"NBC and ABC7 identified him as 28-year-old Floyd Corkins of Virginia. Fox News obtained photos of the man, apparently taken by a witness, that show the suspect in handcuffs and his bloody shirt fully unbuttoned," TPM reports.
His full name is Floyd Lee Corkins II.
Corkins was reportedly carrying a Chick-fil-A bag and screaming about the group's political positions. NBC reports Corkins "was carrying a backpack containing materials related to Chick-fil-A restaurants."
There is a Facebook page for a Floyd Corkins, in Northern Virginia, who attended George Mason University. Facebook appears to have blocked the page, presumably to frustrate Brian Ross.
Corkins shares a name with his father, confusing some who found a school teacher with that name, but older.
There is a MyLife page for a Floyd L Corkins of Herndon as well. According to the site that Floyd Corkins "currently lives in Herndon, Virginia. Before that, Floyd lived in Herndon, VA from 2003 to 2003. Before that, Floyd lived in Andrews Air Force Base, MD from 1999 to 2008.
Floyd L Corkins is related to Jacqueline Corkins, who is 52 years old and lives in Herndon, VA. Floyd L Corkins is also related to Floyd Corkins, who is 55 years old and lives in Oklahoma City, OK.
D.C.'s Fox 5 report:
DC Breaking Local News Weather Sports FOX 5 WTTG
UPDATE: CBS reports Corkins "had been volunteering at a community center for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people."
"David Mariner is executive director of The DC Center for the LGBT Community. He says Corkins had been volunteering at the center for about the past 6 months. Mariner describes Corkins as 'kind, gentle and unassuming.'"
CBS also reports "a coalition of 25 gay rights groups released a statement through GLAAD condemning the shooting.
"'The motivation and circumstances behind today's tragedy are still unknown, but regardless of what emerges as the reason for this shooting, we utterly reject and condemn such violence. We wish for a swift and complete recovery for the victim of this terrible incident,' the statement read."

Report: FRC shooter was screaming about conservatives
If true, that's troubling. Earlier this week Secret Service agents and Iowa State Police had to cut short a Paul Ryan speech because shrieking Democrats were punching people in the crowd and rushing the stage.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police also issued a report this month showing environmentalists are growing increasingly violent.
And earlier this week the Black Panthers, emboldened by Obama's decision not to prosecute them for occupying Pennsylvania voting locations and threatening white voters with weapons, promised to spread violence at the Republican National Convention, just four years after a cadre of liberals were prosecuted for planning to firebomb the meeting.
New poll shows voters reject Obama's anti-oil agenda
• 75 percent of voters overall support the Keystone XL Pipeline; 89 percent of Republicans and 66 percent of Democrats agree.
• 71 percent voters overall support increased access to domestic oil and natural gas resources; 85 percent of Republicans and 60 percent of Democrats agree.
• 65 percent of voters overall say increased energy taxes could drive up energy costs; 73 percent of Republicans and 59 percent of Democrats agree.
• 63 percent of voters overall say Washington is on the wrong track regarding U.S. energy policy; 86 percent of Republicans and 46 percent of Democrats agree.

New federal law calls for 'spy boxes' in cars
"The federal standards will apply only to cars that are voluntarily outfitted with event data recorders (EDRs), also known as black boxes. But while the government does not yet require all cars to have black boxes installed, NHTSA is still thought to be considering a federal mandate as a next step, possibly this year."
The Hill goes on to report:
"NHTSA has been considering the next step — a requirement that all cars are built with black boxes — since 2011. In anticipation of this requirement, some in Congress have proposed legislating the mandate ahead of time.
"The initial version of the highway bill that the Senate approved in April included language that would have required the secretary of Transportation to evaluate event data recorders and ultimately require their installation on all cars within a few years."
