Halftime: Nebraska 28, Arkansas State 3 BY Jon Nyatawa | POSTED IN Big Red Today Nebraska’s efficient offensive attack, piling up most of its production on the ground, is back on track after two quarters of play against Arkansas State. Quarterback Taylor Martinez has completed all eight of his passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. He’s looked comfortable in the pocket. Credit his offensive line (for good protection) and receivers (for making tough catches and getting extra yards), too. But the real reason for all NU’s success? The effectiveness of the ground game. Nebraska’s run the ball 25 times...

"In response to a complaint, Rackspace has shut down the websites of the Dove World Outreach Center, a small 50-member church which has received national and international criticism for a planned book burning of the Quran on the anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. The center 'violated the hate-speech provision of our acceptable-use policy,' explained Rackspace spokesman Dan Goodgame. 'This is not a constitutional issue. This is a contract issue,' said Goodgame, who added he did not know how long it had hosted the church's sites.
