Is farming heading down the right path?
ALL CHANGE: How the upper dale is farmed and managed will change as a result of the Government's Path to Sustainable Farming plans
The Government has set out its plan for farming and land management post-Brexit. The Path to Sustainable Farming will take seven years and involves the transformation of how the sector is financially supported.
THE "most significant change to farming and land management in 50 years" will begin next year under plans unveiled by the Government last week.
Ministers say that freed from the EU's Common Agricultural Policy, a new system centred on support that rewards farmers and land managers for sustainable practices will be introduced in the next seven years.
However, NFU officials warned farmers face great uncertainty during the coming years as the new system is brought in.
Starting next year, the Government will begin the move away from the current Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) as it sets out on its "Path to Sustainable Farming".
Key changes include:
Introducing the Environmental Land Management scheme to reward sustainable farming practices, create habitats for nature recovery and establish new woodland to help tackle climate change
Investing in improving animal health and welfare, controlling or eradicating endemic diseases amongst cattle, pigs and sheep
Reducing direct payments, starting from the 2021 Basic Payment Scheme year, with the money released being used to fund new grants and schemes
Launching a Farming Investment Fund to offer grants for equipment, technology and infrastructure for the future
Simplifying and improving existing schemes to reduce the burden on farmers, cutting unnecessary red tape for farmers and working together with industry to design a more targeted regulatory system.
Unveiling the farming roadmap, Environment Secretary George Eustice said: "If we work together to get this right, then a decade from now the rest of the world will want to follow our lead."
He said the Government will engage with farmers, land managers and other stakeholders to finalise the design and operation of the future system to ensure they work for everyone.
Tony Juniper, chairman of Natural England, said: "More than two thirds of England is farmed and this plan paves the way for those who manage the land to produce healthy food alongside other vital benefits, such as carbon storage, clean water, reduced flood risk, thriving wildlife and beautiful landscapes for everyone to enjoy."
Responding to Defra's agricultural transition roadmap, NFU president Minette Batters said: "Expecting farmers to run viable, high-cost regulatory farm businesses, continue to produce food and increase their environmental delivery, while phasing out existing support and without a complete replacement scheme for almost three years is high risk and a very big ask.
"There are also many uncertainties during this policy transition, not least new trading arrangements after we leave the EU, as well as the national recovery from Covid-19, and the global challenge of climate change.
"Moreover, the long-running price war in UK retail often sees farming and growing caught in the crossfire."
A national pilot to shape the Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme will begin late next year and involve up to 5,500 farmers across England.
It is proposed payments under ELM will be made in three areas – support for practices which improve the environment, such as improving soil health, hedgerows and integrated pest management; nature recovery schemes, such as creating, managing or restoring habitats and natural flood management; and landscape recovery, which will focus on projects such as large-scale forest and woodland creation, peatland restoration, or the creation and restoration of coastal habitats.
Other schemes proposed include a farming investment fund to help farmers invest in equipment and technology to improve productivity and more funding will also be made available under improvements to the Countryside Stewardship scheme.
But Ms Batters cautioned: "The rate at which direct support reductions will take place leaves English farmers with significant questions.
"These payments have been a lifeline for many farmers especially when prices or growing conditions have been volatile and will be very difficult to replace in the first four years of this transition.
"Ministers must bear these challenges in mind. They must also be mindful of the impact sudden drops in income could have, including seriously jeopardising the viability of a farm business," she said.

Latin Trap / Reggaeton
Puerto Rican reggaeton artist Darell is part of a new wave of Latin artists dominating the global music scene. Best known for his appearance on the wildly popular 2017 single 'Te Boté', alongside Casper, Nicky Jam, Bad Bunny and Ozuna, he's also featured on tracks from Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull.
Kicking off his career as part of the duo Belto & Darell, he chose to go solo in 2011, building up hype around his productions through collaborations with Barber V13, Lawrentis & Pouliryc, and Los Mafiaboyz. 2016 saw Darell sign to record company Real G4 Life, working with producers Onyx, Symphonic and Lil Geniuz to refine his rough-and-ready sound before releasing his first hit single. 'Ninguno Se Monta' caught the attention of artists and fans alike, announcing the arrival of a new talent on the Latin urban music scene. The single was swiftly followed by a debut album, La Verdadera Vuelta, a trap-influenced record that produced hits such as 'Blanco', 'La Brega', and 'No Le Dices Na'.
2017 would see Darell gain worldwide recognition with a feature on Nío García, Casper Mágico and Bad Bunny's 'Te Boté', a global phenomenon that hit No 1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart, generating 1.6 billion views on YouTube, and over half a billion streams. This success pointed Darell on the road to world domination, paving the way for later singles 'Asesina', 'Tu Peor Error' and 'Caliente' to find similar acclaim. With musical talents recognised by his peers, Darell has ghost-written for Daddy Yankee, Nicky Jam, Anuel AA, Ozuna, and Bad Bunny, among others. Firmly established as one of the hottest names in Latin music, he continues to tour extensively across the globe.

Despite the slowdown in GDP growth to 6.9 percent in 2015, China is still making aggressive investments to drive the adoption of high technology by local enterprises and organizations, according to Gartner, Inc.
"The Chinese economy is facing challenges as it nears the end of its "demographic dividend" fueled by an oversupply of low-technology markets, said Matthew Cheung, research director at Gartner. "For Chinese enterprises, the adoption of bimodal IT, Internet of Things technologies and digital business will be critical to business transformation during China's economic transformation period."
The Chinese government is attempting to accelerate the country's economic transformation by supporting investment in high-technology industries and encouraging more innovation. Its "Internet plus," "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" and "made in China 2025" strategies have become key phrases for the areas that receive more attention and investment from the government and private sectors. ICT will assume an important role to support this transformation.
Gartner's 2016 Hype Cycle for ICT in China report maps 23 hyped technologies throughout the life cycle stages of on the rise, at the peak and sliding into the trough (see Figure 1). Compared with mature markets, some technologies (such as cloud and digital commerce platform) are being adopted faster in China, but some are slower (such as autonomous vehicles).
The use of agile methodology is still in its infancy in China. Although project-level agile adoption continues to have an increasing uptake in many Chinese, scaling it at an enterprise level for use in a more complex level of product development or portfolio planning and coordination is still very limited.
"As enterprises in China move toward digitalization, the reality of digital business will drive IT organizations to conclude that agility is now mandatory," said Maritess Sobejana, principal research analyst at Gartner. "In most cases we expect that strategic adoption of enterprise agile methods, driven by business demands for faster time to market, will start to grow within the next five years."
Perched at the very top of the Peak of Inflated Expectations is the much-hyped connected home, which is attracting electronics and home appliance manufacturers, internet service providers, communications service providers, and app providers to develop different connected products and service platforms.
"In China the increasing penetration of connected home solutions will enable device and service providers to start their digital business transformation by analyzing the data collected from many households," said Roger Sheng, research director at Gartner. "It will drive the hardware manufacturers to change their business model to be service-oriented and create value-added services via connected-home device portals."
More than 600 cities in different tiers will launch different types of smart city projects, and global and local IT vendors will join different projects to deliver IT products, infrastructure buildings and implementation service offerings.
"With the planning of China's 13th Five-Year Plan, smart city development is under the urbanization framework, and as such, has moved from peak hype to the Trough of Disillusionment, which will bring about more actionable activity and actual projects," said Bettina Tratz-Ryan, research vice president at Gartner.
The massive consumer base and the number of internet users in China (estimated at 650 million internet and 980 million mobile internet users in 2016) present the most-promising big data opportunities. Led by hyperscale internet companies such as Baidu (internet traffic data), Alibaba (supply chain and transaction data) and Tencent (social data), approximately 25 percent of businesses have been pursuing the value of big data.
"The government-sponsored strategy 'Internet Plus' is targeted at boosting economic growth through digital transformation," said Jie Zhang, research director at Gartner. "It has issued a detailed action plan for 11 key industries in 2015, mandating the necessity of digital business transformation by leveraging big data and cloud technologies."

EFCC Rearraigns Mompha Over N32.9bn Fraud
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday rearraigned Ismaila Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha before a Federal High Court, Lagos, over N32.9bn fraud.
Mompha was first arraigned by the commission on 14 counts bordering on fraud, money laundering and running a foreign exchange business without the authorisation of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
He was arraigned alongside his firm, Ismalob Global Investment Ltd.
He had pleaded not guilty to the charges and was granted bail in the sum of N100m with one surety in like sum.
Trial has since commenced in the suit, with the EFCC still leading witnesses in evidence.
When the case was called on Wednesday, the prosecutor, Mr Rotimi Oyedepo, informed the court of a second amended charge against the defendant and urged the court to allow a fresh plea by the defendant.
The amended 22-count charge was read over to the defendant and he pleaded not guilty to all counts.
After his plea, defence counsel, Mr Gboyega Oyewole (SAN), urged the court to grant a short adjournment to enable him study the new charge.
He told the court that he had only seen the new charge few minutes before the court commenced sitting and consequently urged the court to allow him study same.
Following agreement of parties, the court adjourned the case until March 18 for continuation of trial.
So far in the trial, the commission had called witnesses from commercial banks, CBN as well as the Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering.
In the charge, EFCC accused the defendant of procuring Ismalob Global Investment Ltd and retaining in its account an aggregate sum of N32.9bn between 2015 and 2018.
Prosecution alleged that Mompha laundered the sum through Ismalob Global Investment Ltd.
Both defendants were alleged to have negotiated foreign exchange transactions in various sums like N9.4m, N20m, N10.4m, N2.4m, N100m, N61m, N40.7m, N42m among others.
Mompha was alleged to have aided Ismalob to retain an aggregate sum of N14bn in its account, which was procured from Pitacalize Ltd.
The offences contravenes the provisions of sections 15(2) and 18(3) of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act.2011 as amended.

Are OpenInvest portfolios active or passive?
There are two ways to invest in the stock market; active investing and passive investing. OpenInvest only engages in passive investing and here's why; there's now broad consensus that passive investing is a better way for the vast majority of people to invest resulting in better returns over time. Passive investing maximizes diversification, therefore, minimizing risk while slashing fees and reducing taxes. Meanwhile on the active side despite all the glossy brochures you just have to look at the statistics. Ninety-nine percent of active managers fail to beat the market once you take out their fees. It's because active managers bring in a whole lot of human bias, error, and all kinds of companies specific risks that nobody can predict. Meanwhile, they're charging you much higher fees and those compound over time eating away at performance and potentially costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars over your lifetime.
Now in the past, if you had a special view like you don't want to invest in weapons companies you had to go out and hire an active manager to do it for you, but in return, you're paying those high fees, and you're getting the spotty performance. Fortunately, OpenInvest technology has created a breakthrough. When you sign up for open invest, you answer a few questions about your finances and the things you care about we then create a diversified passive portfolio for you that is fully tailored to your particular values. For the first time in history, it means anyone can be a social activist investor acting on the things that they care about in the world while always having a passive portfolio. You can even divest or invest from individual companies with a swipe, and your portfolio will automatically rebalance to keep you passive and tracking the performance of the market the S&P; 500 specifically. No compromise is necessary it's easy, so if you care about making money let alone the world, it's just a better way to invest.
Passive. We don't change the allocation mix based on any alpha views, attempting to beat the benchmark, or anything that isn't simply rebalancing with the goal of tracking the performance of the market.
99% of active managers fail to beat the market, and instead they end up underperforming because of the fees they've charged you for their "expertise." There is broad consensus that generally, investors should hold the market, not try to beat it. As a passive investor, your two primary strategies are diversification and reducing fees.
With OpenInvest, for the first time in history, people can wield their assets as activist investors, while holding a passive portfolio.
Diversification means holding investments in many different areas to reduce the risk of loss. This could mean different companies (e.g. Microsoft and Apple), companies in different sectors (e.g. manufacturers and health care providers) or entirely different asset classes (e.g. stocks and bonds). For OpenInvest's purposes, diversification means making sure your investments are properly spread so that even if you make changes, you don't risk being too much in one company or industry.
What is the basic structure of my portfolio?
Portfolios are structured as a combination of: A) a basket of equities (stocks) that aim to replicate the performance of the S&P500, but are reflective of your values; and B) a bond fund, which provides diversification. We provide you with the option to use a green or traditional bond fund, creating a blended and diversified portfolio. Furthermore, we will be adding asset classes and expanding the universe of equities in the coming months to provide even further diversification and engagement opportunities.
How exactly is my portfolio is constructed?
For the equity portion of your portfolio, we start with a universe of securities: currently we use the S&P 500, which we believe is the best way to track the overall performance of the stock market.
Next, we get data on how well companies align with the set of issues that we support and overlay this on the universe of securities. You can read more about the details of this data and the metrics we use on our issues page. Depending on the issue and the metric this could result in a company being labeled as good, bad or neutral for a particular issue.
All of the bad companies, on any issue you care about, are ineligible for your portfolio. We'll start building a portfolio from the good ones and use neutral companies to balance other factors such as sector diversification, beta and average weighted market cap.
The resulting portfolio will never go below 60 stocks (and is typically many more) and will closely match the characteristics of the original universe.
For the fixed income (bond) side of your portfolio we invest in BND, a diversified bond ETF with a very low expense ratio. We include the ETF expense in our fee so this is not an additional expense. You can elect to use a 'Green Bond' fund instead (CGAFX). We leave this up to you, as unfortunately the expense ratio is fairly high (~0.88%) and we have to pass this on.
We rebalance your portfolio automatically (and with no additional fees or expenses) as prices change and you add or subtract funds from your account. We also keep it up to date with the issues you care about. New data on corporate behavior is frequently being released, and we are always evolving our company scoring metrics to better reflect the issues you care about.
A green bond is a tax-exempt bond issued by federally qualified organizations or by municipalities for the development of brownfield sites. Brownfield sites are areas of land that are underutilized, have abandoned buildings or are underdeveloped, and often containing low levels of industrial pollution. Green bonds are short for qualified green building and sustainable design project bonds.
A bond is effectively a loan which your investment provides that funding for. Bonds are typically issued by corporations looking to expand or by governments funding significant projects such as building a new school or improving roads. These bonds, also known as fixed income securities, are issued for a specific amount or face value, an interest rate which is how much you'll earn for your investment per year, and a maturity date which is when the loan must be paid back by.
In the case of green bonds, the loan is tax-exempt and is typically issued by municipalities or federally qualified organizations in order to develop areas that are abandoned, underdeveloped, or have low levels of pollution that must be cleaned up. Projects to improve these sites must use qualified green building and sustainable design and are often LEED certified.
What is the process for withdrawing funds from OpenInvest?
Currently, we handle withdrawals manually (though we'll be adding automatic withdrawals soon). All you need to do is email support@openinvest.com with how much would you like to withdraw, and whether you would like to withdraw your funds to a linked bank account and we'll take care of it as fast as possible.
What happens to my account if something happens to OpenInvest?
Your investments belong to you, and OpenInvest never touches your money. Nothing would happen to them if OpenInvest went public, was acquired, or closed its doors (which we don't see happening any time soon).
All OpenInvest accounts are held with a clearing firm called Apex, which is an SIPC-insured custodian. They are a market leader who handles billions in assets, including numerous hedge funds. Should something happen to us, your money would simply be sitting there at Apex, and they would be able to manage your account for you, or help you move it somewhere else at your request.
What Is Tax-Loss Harvesting (Optimized at the Individual Equities Level)?
When you have a portfolio of stocks, naturally some will increase in value and some will lose value over the course of a year. Tax-Loss Harvesting (TLH) is a process of reducing your near-term tax burden by selling assets that have lost value in the past year. These losses can be used to offset capital gains in other investments, or to reduce your taxable income. While using losses to offset income is capped at $3,000 per year, losses in one year can be carried forward indefinitely to offset income in future years. You will have to pay the tax in the future but TLH puts more money in your pocket now that can be invested to generate returns which can compound for you in the meantime until you choose to sell the investment and face capital gains taxes at that time.
Many advisers offer tax-loss harvesting, but if they are using funds (such as ETFs or mutual funds), the opportunity to generate this advantage is limited. Our approach is to offer TLH at the individual equities level which results in more opportunities for tax optimization. We can do this because OpenInvest's technology bypasses fund managers and gives you direct ownership of the underlying companies.
Wealthfront, who offers this feature only for accounts with more than $100,000, estimates that this approach can generate an average of 2.03% additional gains per year. However, because "tax alpha" is so variable (e.g. Wealthfront picks very specific years from which to present this data) we are more conservative in our claims – TLH opportunities are not always available or successful.
Though not as critical as keeping fees low, holding a diversified portfolio or selecting an appropriate risk tolerance, TLH is an important consideration in selecting an investment advisor and it can have a significant impact on your long-term performance.

Bernie Sanders finds victory in 'virtual tie' with Clinton
Sanders framed his narrow loss to Hillary Clinton as a sign of his campaign's viability.
Bernie Sanders finds victory in 'virtual tie' with Clinton Sanders framed his narrow loss to Hillary Clinton as a sign of his campaign's viability. Check out this story on redding.com: https://dmreg.co/1SV5usK

Sen. Bernie Sanders framed a too-close-to-call finish with Hillary Clinton in Monday night's Democratic caucus as a sign of his campaign's viability, pledging to continue challenging the former secretary of state well beyond Iowa.
Sanders was trailing Clinton by less than 1 percentage point at press time, but he framed the results as a win, starting his speech Monday night with "Thank you, Iowa."
"And tonight while the results are still not known, it looks like we are in a virtual tie," Sanders told an energetic crowd of supporters.
The Vermont senator said he was "overwhelmed" and "moved" by the thousands of people who have volunteered on his campaign and the more than $3 million in contributions he's received.
Sanders thanked Clinton and congratulated her for running a "vigorous campaign." He also had kind words for former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, who dropped out of the race after finishing a distant third.
"He should know that he contributed a whole lot to the dialogue, he ran an issue-oriented campaign and he won the respect of the American people," Sanders said.

Waiting for results Monday night, Sanders' antsy crowd went wild several times as political pundits on television declared the race too close to call. But as Clinton addressed her supporters around 10:30 p.m. in a televised speech, the Sanders crowd booed her, and some chanted, "She's a liar." Staffers eventually turned off the feed of Clinton.
Sanders took the stage of a ballroom at the Holiday Inn near Des Moines International Airport about 10:45 p.m. He said the people of Iowa sent a "profound message" to the political, economic and media establishment.
"What Iowa has begun tonight is a political revolution," Sanders said.
He said he did well in Iowa and believes he will do well in other states because "the American people are saying 'no' to a rigged economy."
Sanders' senior campaign adviser, Tad Devine, told reporters that the campaign's finish in Iowa was a demonstration of Sanders' general election strength by competing hard in a party-dominated caucus system.
"We came in, and we took on the entire political establishment and we fought them to a draw," he said. "It's a huge step forward for us."
'Think big' campaign
In many senses, Sanders' campaign was big.
He drew massive crowds as he rallied in gymnasiums, theaters and ballrooms in all corners of Iowa. And he often urged his supporters to "think big," not settle for more moderate ideas or those billed as more "realistic."
Sanders pushed thinking big, while Clinton pushed her pragmatism and experience — a dynamic that left some Iowa Democrats feeling like the choice was whether to go with their head and choose the tried and tested Clinton or go with their heart and choose the more idealistic Sanders.
Sanders' ambitious policy agenda defined his Iowa effort.
He didn't spend time shaking hands in diners or kissing babies. Sanders' wholesale approach, aided by social media, focused on pushing tuition-free college, a universal health-care program and a new federal minimum wage of $15 per hour.
Sanders railed against the super-rich and vowed to break up the biggest banks, impose new taxes on Wall Street and prevent big corporations from stashing cash overseas to avoid paying federal taxes. He also lobbied for paid family and medical leave, as well as an increase in Social Security benefits.
While many of those ideas are beloved among liberals, Sanders often faced questions about how he will get anything done in the White House, given Washington's partisanship and a recent record of Congressional inaction.
A 'political revolution'
That's where he said his "political revolution," in which millions of Americans rise up and demand change, would come into play. He often compared that effort to previous historical movements such as the Civil Rights movement, the push for women's suffrage and gay rights.
And Sanders defied the conventional means of funding a national campaign. Eschewing the use of super-PACs, the senator relied on small donations, racking up millions of dollars from voters who can be tapped for donations repeatedly.
The campaign announced Sunday that it raised $20 million in January, with an average donation of $27. The Sanders campaign had about $28 million on hand at the end of December, according to federal election filings.
Sanders, a self-described "Democratic socialist," said he was surprised by the speed at which his ideas caught on and the unexpected embrace by throngs of young people (At 74, he is the oldest presidential candidate in the field.)
Iowa caucuses make history again
On Sunday, Sanders marveled at the distance his campaign has come, more than doubling his support since May of last year in the Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics Iowa Poll.
Both Sanders and Clinton avoided talking about their opponents until late in the race. In recent weeks, both campaigns have turned up the attacks.
Sanders has tried to portray Clinton as a flip-flopper who changes her stances for political expediency. Meanwhile, Clinton has hit Sanders on his gun control record and has sought to paint his ideas as unrealistic.
Sanders has chalked up Clinton's attacks to desperation, describing her camp as "nervous" in the final weeks of campaigning.
On Monday, at his only public appearance before the caucuses, Sanders labeled the race a dead heat.
"You got a tie ball game," he told dozens of journalists, campaign staffers and volunteers gathered at his Des Moines campaign headquarters. "That's where we are."

From the Journal-Constitution:
Both people shot were adult women, Channel 2 Action News reported. One was shot in the leg and the other was shot three times. It is unclear if they were attending the graduation or not.
Police have confirmed to local TV and radio that the shooting was on school property and that they are still actively on the scene. Although this was during a graduation at the school, as the AJC notes, police have not confirmed whether that ceremony was the reason the victims or the shooter were on the grounds.
There is no word at the time of this posting on whether the shooter has been apprehended.
A terrible and tragic day. We will provide updates as they become available.
In the meantime, do pray.
UPDATE: (10:43 p.m.) Police speaking to reporters at the scene are stating that the shooting happened in a Mt. Zion High School parking lot, but that the victims were not students at the school. They have not stated why they or the shooter were on the school grounds.
UPDATE: (10:59 p.m.) Video: Clayton County Schools police chief speaks to reporters. The shooting took place in a parking lot after graduation, following an altercation.

The two victims are female. The Clayton County PD will be handling the investigation.
The Clayton County Police Department has been asked to conduct the investigation into the shooting at Mt. Zion but ALL media inquiries will be handled by the Chief of the Clayton County School Police Department.

UPDATE: (11:26 p.m.) From wire reports:
According to Clayton County Police, the shooting happened after a graduation for the Perry Learning Center, an alternative learning high school. The ceremony, which began at 6 p.m. Friday evening, was being held across the street from Mt. Zion High School at the school's performing arts center.
Police said as families were leaving, an argument broke out in the overflow parking lot, which leading to the shooting.
The ceremony referred to in the report was for the Perry Learning Center, which is part of Clayton County Public Schools. The parking lot where the shooting took place was across the street from the ceremony at Mt. Zion High, where they sent overflow parking. The victims and possibly the shooter were, according to reports, attending the ceremony, then moved to the parking lot where the altercation and shooting occurred.
The ceremony, the parking lot, and the high school are all part of the high school property, and that is why the Clayton County Schools Police will continue to handle all media inquiries and press avails.

"Where's my brother?": Victim's kin describes Waffle House shooting chaos
April 23, 2018 / 7:05 AM / CBS News
Deadly Waffle House shooting
Deadly Waffle House shooting 05:03
The search for the suspect in the fatal shooting at a Tennessee Waffle House is now in its second day. Federal investigators are assisting local police.
Four people were killed in the shooting early Sunday in Nashville. The suspect is still at large. CBS News
Nashville schools are opening under extra-tight security, while a police manhunt searches for the gunman who killed four people at a Waffle House restaurant.
Police identified the suspect as 29-year-old Travis Reinking from Illinois.
Authorities have already confiscated the murder weapon and another gun, but they believe Reinking may have another two -- a hunting rifle and a handgun -- in his possession.
The gunman was wearing nothing but a jacket when he opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle.
All four people who died were in their twenties.

"I just heard the gunshots. It was right behind us," said Abede Dasilva, who was eating breakfast with friends and family early Sunday morning when the gunman opened fire. "Everybody ran. I went in the bathroom and all I could think was, where's my brother?"

His younger brother, Akilah, was one of the four people killed. "He looked up to me, but I looked up to him at the same time because he was real smart. He was a real good guy. Never got in trouble, none of that."
Just before 3:30 in the morning, Travis Reinking began his shooting rampage by killing two people in the Waffle House parking lot in the Antioch section of Nashville.
"He just wanted to spend his ammunition once he got inside and there was a bunch of rapid fires until it went quiet," witness Chuck Cordero told CBS News' Mark Strassmann.
When Reinking stopped to reload his weapon, James Shaw Jr. rushed him and took the gun away.
James Shaw Jr. is being called a hero for wrestling away the gun used by the shooter. CBS News
"When I saw the barrel of the machine gun or assault rifle aim down, and I was like, 'I gotta go now,' that it's either now or never. Because if he reloads it, then it's gonna be real bad," Shaw said.
Without a gun or clothing, Reinking fled on foot, sending authorities on a city-wide search.
Reinking has been on federal and local law enforcement's radar since last July, when he was arrested by the Secret Service for entering a restricted area near the White House.
Four weapons registered to Reinking were seized in that arrest, including the AR-15 allegedly used in the Waffle House shooting.
Ultimately, the seized firearms were returned to Reinking's father, who admitted giving them back to his son.
Shaw, a Nashville native, said he feels sorry he didn't get to the gunman faster. Nashville's mayor is calling him the city's newest hero.

Your ID on legitimate traffic that resembles SPIT points out the ironic situation that vocal proponents of "Stupid Network" are in the process of introducing intelligence in the Middle. My position is that it should be handled only at the ends. If you take the recommendation of RFC 5039, we need three things - strong authentication, white list and an "external" introduction scheme. I recommend that we use OpenID for authentication and request those ID providers to mediate "letters" like iName providers do. For quick reference if you want to send an email to me when you know only my iName, then you send the note via a web page to my provider who will ensure that it is not from a bot and will forward it to me; I can send my reply via the provider as well. This way the dependence on the Middle is sufficiently minimized and there is no concern about the Middle being over eager and impacting legitimate scenarios that you identify. We have implemented such a scheme in EnThinnai.
