The 18-year-old rapper better known as Justin Caver backed out of a challenge to take on Weaver's Chris English on the basketball court and turned back to what he's best at — rocking the microphone.
Caver, a recent Oxford High graduate, has combined his appreciation for athletics with his ability to rap about almost anything.
The result has been carefully crafted verses highlighting the skills of the area's top high school athletes set to the instrumentals of today's most popular artists.
"I was talking to Chris English, and we were talking about playing one-on-one or something and he was like, 'If I beat you, you gotta say my name in a song,'" Caver said.
The game never happened.
"It was before I even got a chance to play him one-on-one," Caver said. "As soon as he said it, I was like 'Aww, I'm just finna go ahead and do this now.' It was such a good idea because I ain't never heard anybody do that — make songs about local athletes and just push it. As soon as he said that, I just went ahead and recorded it."
So far, Caver has provided the soundtrack to the success of English, who was a first-team choice to The Star's Class 3A All-Calhoun county basketball team as a freshman last season, Anniston all-state running back Troymaine Pope and big-time Oxford football recruits Kwon Alexander and Trae Elston.
The Feedback
At 1:30 a.m. on a given weekday, especially in an area like Anniston (not particularly known for its nightlife), most people are deep in the realms of R.E.M. sleep.
But it was about that time when Caver posted his song about Alexander on Facebook. Even in the still of the night, people were willing to take a listen. "I'd say within an hour it had like 50 something 'likes'," Caver said.
What makes his offerings unique, aside from the novelty of the idea, is that he doesn't simply rap about athletes. He raps as if he's them. He goes in over Wiz Khalifah's "Black and Yellow," a fitting selection that matches Oxford's school colors. He takes you inside the mind of a player such as Alexander, rated as the nation's top outside linebacker by ESPN, when he's in pursuit of a ball-carrier. "Hit the hole and get hit like a baseball/Knock his head off now he won't need no Tylenol," Caver raps.
Caver's approach on the mic is always full of bravado and equally as brilliant.
"Everybody was like, 'Oh, my God. How did you think of this?'" Caver said. "It sounds like you're on the field."
And of course, his friends appreciated his audio homage to them.
"We were just laughing about it," Pope said before a preseason practice. "We're together all the time. I'm going to listen to it before every game."
The Foundation
Elston and Alexander were Caver's classmates at Oxford; English and Caver have a big-brother, little-brother relationship; and he's been cool with Pope since middle school.
That's right around the time he began to dabble with rapping.
"I got put on punishment for my grades one time. My mom kept me in the house for two months," Caver said. "That's when I started writing my rhymes down because I didn't want to forget them. I noticed that I was pretty good. So, I started writing more and more and got a whole notebook full of rhymes."
Sports were never really Caver's thing.
"I never had the drive to do it, but I always looked at it and said, 'Man, I can do that'," he said.
Using his artistic ability to honor the athletic accomplishments of others was the next best thing. After all, it's the energy pregame music provides that often helps players get in the right frame of mind to go hard on the field. It's a synergy that can't be denied.
"The thing about this is that I know they're going to be listening to me before they play a game," Caver said. "Kwon already told me he's going to listen to it before every game. That's what makes it even better to know that I influenced them and they influenced me. If Troymaine goes out and scores three or four touchdowns or Kwon makes 18 tackles, I can say, in some way, that I influenced that."
The Future
Caver's discography includes more than 100 songs. He released "House Party," a mixtape he recorded with former Anniston football standout Jeremy Davis AKA Yung Jainky, at the end of July. He's shot and released his own music videos and served as an opening act for bigger-named artists.
Now, Caver's preparing to release "The Heisman Speech," a free album on which he'll be working with local talent Londn Blue, Te-zo, Lukas Payne, T.P. Player and Eskay. Caver's aiming for a mid-fall release date, right in the thick of football season.
"I just graduated from high school, and I'm going to into college," Caver said, explaining the album's concept. "The highest honor you can get in college, athletically anyway, is The Heisman Trophy. I'm just preparing my speech before I get there.
It's going to be arena music, stuff that people can listen to, to get them amped before they play."
Caver is aware of the limitations placed on him by his location. He can't simply play club dates or showcases where music industry executives will be present and build his buzz from there. However, that's something that someone with old-school ingenuity and new-school technology can overcome.
"There's no other way," said Josh King, founder and CEO of Fly Publicity, a public relations firm based in Atlanta, of the necessity of up-and-coming artists to market their music digitally. "It's the only way to get your music to everyone who needs to hear it."
King's company represents rap trio Travis Porter and R&B singer Sammie among others.
King said record labels aren't simply seeking talent anymore. They prefer to partner with artists who've already started a movement where they are, come alongside them and use the label's resources to push them to a national and international audience. The most popular example of that model might be teen pop singer Justin Bieber, who was discovered through a homemade video on YouTube.
The Footnote
Caver hopes to one day earn a living through his music. But he isn't putting all his eggs in that basket. He plans to enroll in school to become an audio engineer.
He's received inquiries to pen songs about other local athletes, some of whom he's never even seen play. "I was like, 'Do you have a highlight tape I can see?" he said. He intends to oblige his budding fan base as well as record fight songs for local high schools like the one he did for Oxford called "Go Big O" and see if they'll play it at games.
Blowing up in the rap game from this area is a long shot. But it's one he's willing to take. Remember, this is the same guy, who was about to challenge an all-county hooper to a game of one-on-one, even though he's never played organized ball.
"It's hard coming from here because you're going to be underestimated. If you're from Atlanta or New York, those are such big cities that they can push you and make your music known," Caver said. "You don't have to have the whole state. All you need is that city or town. Here (in Alabama) you need the whole state behind you. If I can get a school, that could turn into a community, which could turn into a city, which could turn into the state. We could go a long way with that."

The Beneš-Decrees and the Czech Restitution Laws from a Human Rights and European Community Law Perspective
Austrian Review of International and European Law, Volume 9 (2004, edited by Gerhard Loibl), pp. 1-47.
Publisher: Martinus Nijhoff Publishers/Brill, Leiden
In the years preceding the accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union on 1 May 2004, the discussion of the so-called Beneš-Decrees and the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans from the former Czechoslovakia intensified not only in the Czech Republic, Germany and Austria, but also on the European level. This article, which is based on the results of research for a legal opinion issued in June 2002, gives a brief overview of the problematic questions of the Beneš Decrees and the Czech restitution laws, including the practice of their application by the Czech courts and administrative authorities. It particularly scrutinizes the connected legal questions from a human rights and European community law perspective and focuses on aspects that so far have not or just superficially been dealt with in relevant literature and legal opinions. For a better understanding of the legal and historical context, a preliminary chapter outlines the general international law aspects of the expulsion and expropriation of the Sudeten German people.

It doesn't appear to be any closer to release than it was when I wrote about it in 2006 and 2007, but the new screen shots, released on the original game's ten year anniversary, are worth a peek. According to official Black Mesa word, the mod no longer requires Counter-Strike: Source, as the project has moved to The Orange Box version of Valve's Source engine. Any Source-based game will let you play Black Mesa, should it ever be released. That means the new media may show off the "advanced particle effects, jigglebones, cinematic physics, combined maps, self-shadowing bump maps, dynamic shadows, and [...] Procedural Terrain Displacement" courtesy of the new engine. If not, the new trailer promised in the days to come hopefully will. Thanks for joining us. We'll see you next year! S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S 1 25Reply 25Discuss

Dear Sony, it has come to my attention that one of the PSP games available on the playstation Vita has a vulnerability that could lead to the execution of external code by some malicious users. Therefore I am writing this blog post so that you can patch the game or remove it from the PSN store as soon as possible. Preferably, I suggest you take the money from your clients first, and prevent them from downloading the game afterwards, just like you did with Motorstorm Arctic Edge, 3 weeks ago. This way it will be a win-win situation for you, and you can always blame it on the hackers later on.
As a matter of fact, I have discovered that some "hackers" (I prefer to call them terrorists) have already prepared a tool wich, using this vulnerability, could allow people to run software that would be extremely dangerous for your business, such as 20 year-old 8 bit games and 154 different versions of pong.
I think this puts your business at risk, and I've tried to stop those vilains by all means necessary, but sadly it seems they are not breaking any law. Hopefully, giving you the name of the game will help you to take some efficient action. Those people are clearly wrong in their mind to try to play crappy open source software, when they could enjoy a great
game such as Ridge Racer for less than 10$ a track, (which is clearly not a ripoff compared to the price one would have to pay in the real world to drive cars that completely defy the laws of physics. Although on that subject I woud like if you could help me, as my version of the game seems to be blocked in "demo mode" for some reason. All the 5 cars have exactly the same specs, so surely there's something I've done wrong somewhere.)
I digress. The name of the game is Everybody's Tennis. It is also known as Minna no tennis in Japan. Thankfully the game is not available on the US Vita store, so this should limit the problems on your end. I heard however that these hackers have prepared a US version of the hack just in case that version is being sold somewhere such as the HK store. I also heard people can buy the UK version from the US if they buy some PSN cards from resellers on ebay and other sites. If I may give some advice, I think this is not secure enough. True, you did a good job in preventing people from buying games outside of the country they live in (and being a French living in Japan, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the fact that I can't buy any game on the French PSN, this is exactly how globalization should work, and it helps me sparing lots of money by not buying any game), but I think in order to avoid future hacks, you should simply prevent everyone from buying games on the PSN, which will guarantee you a complete control of the market.
The hackers also announced they would release their hack a few hours or days after they announce the name of the game being used. They claim this only allows people to run "homebrew" games and that in no way it allows people to play pirated PSP or vita games, but I think this is not an excuse to hack.
I realize it is saturday evening for your teams in Europe, and Sunday morning in Japan. I hope you will not have to wake some people in the middle of the night just to take action, I would have chosen a better time, but I myself have very little time to blog outside of weekends.
Hoping that working together we will be able to stop hackers. I seem to be one of the few people on Earth who understand that the real enemies of the Vita are not your poor marketing techniques, the terrible software such as the "back to the 90′s" netfront browser, the bad launch lineup, the delays on the playstation suite, the recent downgrade from 5 to 2 allowed copies of any given psn game, and the increasing competition of smartphones that all have better CPUs than the Vita. No, the real enemies are those people playing Lamecraft, who are clearly killing the videogame market, so let's destroy them together.
Please pay extra attention to the dev known as wth, who apparently is behind this whole thing, as well as Teck4 who apparently helped him for the Japanese version of the hack. I also heard that somes guys named mamosuke and msparky83 were involved in the testing. It would be good if you have a way to maybe track these guys' phones or something. Or maybe you can simply sue them, I heard it's something you do very well.
Yours truly, W. Ololo

Watch how fast this comment gets deleted…..
Sure, homebrew games are great. But it has been proven time and time again, homebrew invites piracy. There has never been a case in video game console history where these two did not go hand in hand. As everything becomes simpler and electronic, the temptation has never been greater to just click away. One game load and soft mod later, each gamer is left with a choice. Either click "download" or go to the store and spend $45 on the same game.
I think the PSP Go was a hard-learned lesson for us all. Either let the third party devs create games and charge a price for them. Or figure out a way to hack into my $320 system just so I can play that 152nd version of Pong. Once a system security is brought down, 3rd party devs turn a blind eye to the console altogether. Again, I use the PSP Go as an example. So now, thanks to "Homebrew Developers" (I won't call them hackers, they are purely INNOCENT!! lol!), I cannot play the latest and greatest games that PROFESSIONALS create. I have to settle for 152 versions of Pong and 4 versions of Sonic the Hedgehog that came out in 1993. I don't get to enjoy Metal Gear Solid Part 7, because the third parties cannot pay their professional developers. The purpose of a business is turn a profit. If the business cannot FORECAST turning a profit, it will find means of profit elsewhere. Which means that ALL of us are stuck with 152 different versions of Pong that was created in Johnny DoGood's homebrew basement, rather than games that are for today's handheld standard.
The system security was never meant to be a challenge to extremely overbored programmers and devs. It was meant to keep an honest person honest. Y'all are not proving anything to anyone. If the "homebrew devs" wanna prove something to someone, here's the "Great Challenge." Develop homebrew software that ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ELIMINATES piracy within your homebrew app, while at the same time, letting others enjoy your 152 versions of Pong, because maybe some people are just stuck in 1973 and think that Pong is still the greatest thing around! I'm not stuck in 1973. Im typically stuck in the current day, month, and year. I was done with Pong 30 years ago. I want to play a title created by a professional team of developers. That is what my system was meant for. To turn a profit for 3rd party developers as well as Sony. It was not meant for 152 versions of Pong. If it had been, it would've been developed and sold. We can all read legal jargon, hocus pocus bullcrap; having a decent vocabulary is nothing exciting. Sure there are loopholes in the legalese. But….. we all know what's right. We all know what the system was meant for. Picking locks has been around for many centuries. Your not proving anything to anyone. If somebody created it, somebody can recreate and/or access it. Locksmithing 101′s boys and gals.
So……. before you load up your version of C# or C++ or whatever your using to program… have a little bit of ethics… I would like to be the first to CONGRATULATE YOU!!! YES!! AWESOME!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!! YOU HAVE PROVEN YOUR SKILL AND GET BRAGGING RIGHTS!!!
NO!!! I don't want you to do it!! because it scares off 3rd party devs…. and makes my $320 Vita nothing more than an Atari 2600 released in the year 2012!!
So I guess the long and short of it…. don't even TRY to claim innocence!! When you give pirate's a ship, 20 cannons, 40 crewmembers, AND tell them where the unarmed ship full of gold is…. your just as guilty as the pirates!!
This is a cool piece of 'positive' vibe regarding the ludicrous situation that is become now with many 'global' brands, that do everything in their ways to make 'petty' local people.
If I could still, I would downgrade my PS3, just to be able to use the media player I saw some time back. However, I feel that might not be an option anymore. Then again, I'll check again.
Open Source is open as a source, not as a means. It means that you can read what every line of code does (if you are able to read it) and be sure it is FAIR. You can adjust it to your likings, or 'flavor'.
Sure the device you bought is created by a big company, but so are hammers and bikes and cars (never pimped your car or bike? Yes you did, AND A CAR IS FREAKING 1000 times more expensive. Do you think a car manufacturer worries about how you use the car on the road? If you drive 220, will it reflect on the manufacturer or de driver?).
Nuff said, hacking came from the original anarchy mindset. Which in base just meant that you take ownership AND RESPONSIBILITY for your actions and being, instead of putting it in the hand of powers that be. It didn't mean 'Be an ass and do whatever you want'.

Just finished reading all this lol. And you say hacking ruined the psp if i remember correct they made a fortune and it was that successful they released vita (psp2) in some peoples eyes so as i say hacking it never really affected it too great tye ps1 was a massive hit mare billions and you could play pirates with just swaping disjs or a xploder cartridge that was a third party cheating cart. Aw and the ps2 got hacked and theres another console made billions and the devs that made games and finally ps3 hacked and boom another console still making loads of cash and no one is goin stop making games so my point being is hack on and hopfuly pirate games come to vita too cause im sure it aint goin to ruin it.
Excuse me while I explain some common views that I share.
I bought my vita for more than $200. I own it. I do. Not Sony. I should be able to do what I want with it, even exploit the PS Vita that I bought. That being said, I shouldn't be able to exploit Sony, because I don't own Sony. I know it sounds stupid but in my mind that's how it works. When you own something, you should be able to do what you want with it.
I also have a love/hate relationship with Sony. Their products are great, probably the best on the market. But the fact is, Sony strangles their products so much that, for example, I can't enjoy games that I bought from them and payed money for. The vita has endless capabilities but Sony's fear and misattribution is limiting it to playing a handful of terrible games (or should I say expensive samplers) and checking your facebook.

I live in Australia.
Our dollar has been 1:1 with the US for aprox 5 years.
I have serious issues with being ripped off, and treated like an idiot, which is exactly what sony and other games selling corporations are doing to us.
Would you pay $110 for any new release playstation game? (NOT collectors edition, NORMAL edition)
Would you be ok with waiting up to 6 months for a game thats allready out in the US to become avaliable in Australia? (i can understand the wait from JP/EU to US, but when the games in english, and the country thats waiting is also english speaking, whats the excuse?)
It all revolves around controll, and greed.
The direction gaming is heading is you'll buy the opening level for a game, still for full price, then be expected to pay $20 for each chapter of the game, then $50 for the ending.
This is happening because corporations are trying to turn the computer game industry to the fashion industry. Pump out as much crap, for the cheapest ammount possible, and change what's considerd "in" every week so people go out and spend more money, on more useless shit.
We the consumers are allowing it.
This bullshit about "well if you dont like it then dont buy it" is a stupid analogy of the situation. We're allready being punished purely for being walking wads of cash in the eyes of corporations, why punish ourselves further by denying us the experience of a game?
ITs going to come down to – the entire direction of games, and consoles needs to change, radically, or you'll be paying top dollar to use a device capable of everything your home PC is capable of, but it wil be locked down to perform only 1 or two tasks, in the name of corpoate greed.
I support all 3 gaming companies for the games that they make and I don't use piracy. Their demise is a result of their lack of innovative software and their adamant belief that gamers should take what they're given and shut up. I have several psone games that I would love to transfer to my vita and are all legitimate purchases. If HBL allows this before Sony, I'll use HBL. I do understand exclusive content though, I mean MS owns Bungie, Nintendo owns retro studios and sony owns naughty dog, so it makes sense that they will be developing games for their owners. That is the only reason I own all 3 systems. Wiis whole STFU and take what we give is the reason when the wii U comes out, this fish is not biting. I believe now they allows you to transfer your purchases to another Wii, but I mainly used it when it just came out, before xbox and ps3 came out, so all that content is gone after my white one crapped out on me and I got the black one to go with my av receiver. I contacted nintendo and all my purchased stuff, ie tracks for band hero, guitar hero, etc. was not allowed to transfer. I know some people have fought hard and they allowed it, but the number that have succeeded is too small for me to care. When the time comes, I'll give sony and ms my money and show that gamers support the companies that support gamers. I still have my white xbox, original with some customization, like 6 inch exhaust grill and fan for cooling, which luckily got the red ring before the 3 years and they fixed it. I play the 360 more because I have so many series games on that, that I did not want to lose transfer data on, Mass effect 3 comes to mind, but I play the ps3 for my old school stuff and battlefield 3. They know what gamers want but in attempt to try to keep the gamers to themselves they push them away at times. I still want to play FF7 on my vita as the remote play lags most of the time and my job's internet runs off a proxy that requires login so I can't use wifi for faster connection there. Again they want to limit exposure but in return push gamers away. To avoid security issues they do not allow a vpn/remote access to the ps3 directly, it has to be done through psn. Until then I got the vita and I love it, catching up on my psp games that I missed, dissidia for example, and I am patiently waiting until the next HBL release and hoping that either sony or the hacking team get a way for me to get my ff7 on my ps3 onto my vita.

How well you recover from a stroke has a lot to do with how quickly your stroke is diagnosed and treatment begins. If you or someone you're with has the following symptoms, call 911 immediately and tell them you or the person you're with is having a stroke and you need to go to the closest stroke treatment center.
If you can get to the hospital or clinic within an hour of your first symptoms, you stand a better chance of being evaluated and treated within the necessary three-hour window for receiving t-PA, one of the most effective ways to treat an ischemic stroke.
Evaluation by Emergency Personnel and a Stroke Care Team
Emergency personnel, physicians, and other members of the stroke care will perform and order the following tests to determine as quickly as possible if you are having a stroke, and if you are, the type of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic), and the location of the problem:
Silent Stroke Diagnosis
A silent stroke has no symptoms, so the people who have them don't know it until they have an MRI for some other reason. Just like mini strokes, silent strokes are a warning that you may need treatment to avoid having another, potentially more damaging stroke.
The Role of Your Primary Care Physician
Your primary care physician may be the first to determine that you have risk factors for a stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular disease. He or she may initiate treatments, such as dietary changes, exercise, and medications to control your risk factors.
Or your primary care doctor may refer you to a specialist for further diagnosis and treatment. You may be referred to a cardiologist, a doctor who specializes in diseases of the heart and arteries.
Why a heart doctor? Because 85 percent of strokes are caused by a build-up of fatty deposits, or plaque, inside the vessels—the same condition that causes most heart attacks. Thus, cardiologists' training in treating blockages in the arteries leading to the heart has also prepared them to treat most strokes. Increasingly, cardiologists are using procedures similar to those they use to stop heart attacks—and they are successfully stopping stroke in its tracks. And, while your cardiologist is treating you to prevent stroke, he or she will also treat you to prevent heart attacks.
Even if you are referred to a specialist, your primary care doctor will continue to play a role in your care. He or she should continue to be a key member of your care team, working with you to control risk factors and coordinating your care with specialists and various support teams.

This Saturday, two big track events are happening at the same time in the UK: The Red Bull Mini-Drome and the Revolution season finale at Manchester Velodrome. Of course they're 200 hundred miles apart so naturally kids in London will go to the Mini-Drome and kids in Manchester will go to the Velodrome.
But how do you decide if you live somewhere in the middle — like Birmingham? Fortunately I broke it down in the chart below to help all the Brummies figure it out for themselves:

Peter Yates, the director of two of my all-time favorite movies has recently passed away at the age of 81.
Not only are these two films exceptionally awesome, they've probably had more influence on my style, taste and interests than any other media I've ever been exposed to.
We're talking bike racing, Steve McQueen, Italian stuff, car chases through San Francisco, etc etc etc.

Book Club: The Rider
If one of your New Year's resolutions is to read more then this is the book you should start with. If you haven't made that resolution this year, then you should because not enough people are reading these days (myself included) — and make this book the first book you read:
Originally published in 1978, The Rider by Tim Krabbé is a rare example of great cycling fiction. Bike racing is an awesome sport so why don't more writers write about it?
Anyone who's ever raced a bike before knows that the subject matter makes for some great stories. You got allies, enemies, thrills, spills, speed, winners, losers, drama and glory. Regardless of the underdog nature of the cycling fiction genre, The Rider still shines as a great, solid book.
The entire book takes place during a one-day, 150-kilometer road race. The story begins as our protagonist rider pulls up to the race starting line and goes through his pre-race preparations while sizing up the competition.
From the moment the flag goes down, the race is narrated kilometer by kilometer as the reader is enveloped in the world of the peloton. The Rider is only 150 pages long, a quick read which takes slightly less time to finish than the race itself. I read it the night it was given to me for my birthday (thanks dad!). For those pages, nothing is held back. All the adrenaline, the fury, the pain and the agony is accounted for in this tale.
For all the suffering our racing hero goes through during the imaginary race, I love it because I'm reading it instead of riding it — but at the same time, I love it because it makes me wish I was riding it. Go grab yourself a copy and give it a read.

This product is supposed to smooth out rough patches. However, I don't really have any rough patches but it still leaves your skin feeling soft. The smell is really nice too and when you're putting this on in the shower, the mint relaxes you making you feel very fresh. Love using it!
One of my favorite products ever! So happy it's on Birchbox! I really love the smell, the texture, and the way my skin feels after using it. I would purchase the whole Mentha line if I didn't like trying other stuff.
Love this product! Smells great and left my skin so very happy! Great for all kinds of skin and all kinds of weather
When I first tried this product I didn't expect all the talk about how great it is to be true. Safe to say I had high standards. Now that I've tried it for myself I absolutely love it! My standards were definitely met! It feels so great on my skin! Love love love it and I'm going to continue to purchase this product!
For those days when you are exhausted, sore, or just need a kick pick me up! This is an amazing body buff, that makes you feel fresh and awake. I love it and so do the men in my life.
I love this buffer, It smells wonderful and the mint is a plus. It leaves you feeling soft and fresh. Most buffer does not lather at all since its just pure scrub, well this one is different and it spreads really good. The only problem i have is that the product wont come out smoothly and would sometimes get stuck so i simply poke it with a pen or a small needle.
I love the peppermint tingling sensation, it really helps on my feet and elbows to get rid of that extra ashy skin. I do wish it was packaged in a different container because it is pretty hard to get out until the product is about half gone.
Great body scrub, I have been using this product for many years. Skin feels smooth and the peppermint scent really wakes you up, this product is always in my house.
I absolutely love the peppermint fragrance that wafts throughout the shower, while the sugar scrub helps soften all the rough spots. Don't be shy...slather this buffer all over and you'll feel so soft and minty afterward.
This is my go-to product summer and winter. Fresh, clean, thorough, consistent. Mentha products are the bomb!
I used to buy this at a local store, but they stopped carrying it. This line of CO Bigelow Mentha products is AMAZING. The peppermint oil is cooling for your entire body- and it smells fantastic. Perfect for hot days when you need to cool down after working in the garden.... Also works wonders if you're stuffed up- the effervescent peppermint will clear your sinuses right up!

asks the question on their own website: How do you improve on perfection? While using the word "perfection" is an adjective I rarely, if ever, use to describe anything in the gaming industry, I will say that the
is a sleek and sexy choice for any gamer who is looking for response, performance, and reliability out of a PC gaming mouse.
As is custom with accessory reviews, we will start out with the official specifications of the
6400dpi 4G Optical Sensor
Ergonomic right-handed design with textured rubber side grips
Five independently programmable Hyperesponse buttons
Razer Synapse 2.0 enabled
1000Hz Ultrapolling/1ms response
On-The-Fly Sensitivity adjustment
Always-On mode
200 inches per second and 50g of acceleration
Zero-acoustic Ultraslick mouse feet
Gold-plated USB connector
Seven-foot, lightweight, braided fiber cable
Approximate size: 5.00"/127mm (Length) x 2.76" / 70mm (Width) x 1.73" / 44mm (Height)
Approximate weight : 0.23lbs / 105g
The first thing that jumps out is the outstanding control that the
gives a gamer. The mouse just feels comfortable and responsive right away. The mouse itself main feel a little grainy to the touch from the design, but that passes quickly once usage begins. The 6400dpi 4G Optical Sensor is fully customizable, so gamers can pick and choose the response that they need, based on their setup. I run a dual monitor setup myself, so having a higher DPI setting is something I'm used to just to be able to jump from one monitor to the next quickly with little movement. With
Synapse 2.0
, a
proprietary software, customizing the mouse has never been easier and saving your profile is as simple as it gets.
The mouse is plug and play, though it's an absolute must to get the aforementioned
Synapse 2.0
to truly have full control over what the mouse has to offer. What's nice, though, is that even with
Synapse 2.0
downloaded, gamers can control the DPI setting on the fly with the quick access buttons to jump between settings.
The sensitivity and durability of the primary buttons on the
is impressive as well. Responsiveness has little to no issue with double-clicking, whether you're in game or just doing regular web browsing. The sensitivity and quickness of the buttons can be changed with
Synapse 2.0
of course, but even the default setting is perfectly reasonable for a plug and play device.
If I had just one complaint about the mouse, it would be the location of the side buttons. I'm used to having gaming mice that have the buttons a little higher and I found myself accidentally clicking these buttons just out of reflex from feeling them on my thumb. The buttons, of course, are there for a gamer to customize at his leisure, but the default on the buttons will cause browsers to advance and return, leading to some minor headaches when just reading through a forum or article. This is a minor annoyance, and I'll freely admit that it's knit-picking.
Final Thoughts
attention to detail is well known throughout the world of PC gaming, and the
is a testament to that reputation. While every gamer has their own limit on price point, the
has a very reasonable MSRP of $69.99 and can be found directly on the official website (www.razerzone.com) or can be found at major retailers such as Best Buy and Fry's Electronics. If you're in need of a new gaming mouse for upcoming PC titles, this is a solid choice.

This week I discovered that I am also a little protective of it, maybe even somewhat selfish with it. I discovered this feeling when one of our reporters wrote an update on the case of artist Steven White versus the City of Sparks. My initial reaction to the case was disgust at what I thought was a bastardization of the protections of the First Amendment, but upon further review I have discovered that White had a legitimate case. Now, however, he needs to get out of the courtroom and back in the artist's studio.
The basics are this: White set up in Victorian Square to sell his original paintings and the city told him he needed a permit. In the process it turned out that Sparks had an exception to the permit rule for artists like White. This exception involved bringing the art before a committee which would determine if the art was protected free speech. If so, the artist could sell it in parks and other public areas without a permit.
White and his lawyer challenged this process as being inherently biased and potentially leading to "prior restraint" on free speech. According to city attorney Tom Riley, the committee was given a specific framework for making its determinations. Using dictionary definitions, it was supposed to determine whether a piece of art expressed an "explicit" or "implicit but obvious" religious, ideological, political, or philosophical message. If so, no business license needed. If not, pay up and you can sell 'til to your heart's content.
So what was White's message? If I didn't know any better, I'd just say his paintings are of animals and lanscapes.
Riley described White's position saying that his artwork conveys his belief that mankind is pushing animals (or "brethren") into extinction. Using slightly different wording, White's lawyer said the same thing.
Maybe that's what made me mad in the first place. I felt like all other news people and I who try to do some good with our words and pictures were being lumped into the same category with some hack selling paintings that belong next to T-shirts with wolves or deer on them in cheesy western gift shops. You know, the sort of artwork you expect to see when you walk in but would never actually buy.
I spoke to White's lawyer, Terri Keyser-Cooper, and though I still think White is an over-zealous crusader who ought to spend more time with his own species, he had a legitimate gripe against Sparks' exemption process. The city's intent in allowing for the exemption was noble, but any first-year journalism student could have told them that White's painting would qualify as protected speech, even if his message is a little zany.
The U.S. Supreme Court said that "a narrow, succinctly articulable message is not a condition of constitutional protection, which if confined to expressions conveying a particularized message would never reach the unquestionably shielded painting of Jackson Pollock, music of Arnold Schöenberg, or Jabberwocky verse of Lewis Carroll." I have always liked the saying, attributed to Volatire, "I may disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." I guess in this case I don't disapprove of what White says, but I will defend to the death my right roll my eyes at it.
It would have been nice if the city had tried to censor White's work because then I could be on his side unconditionally. At the same time I wish the city had been a little smarter with its First Amendment law and not given White a case he could win. Considering the current state of government budgets, it would have been better to forget the exemption and make all artists pay $10 to hawk their wares on public land. White might not have had a case and the city might not have to raise sewer rates to fix old plumbing.
Unfortunately, it now seems that White and his lawyer plan to seek out other jurisdictions where they can file more lawsuits. It would have been one thing if White fought his battle here in Sparks and went along his merry way painting and talking to the buffalo, but that's apparently not enough. I'd advise any city attorneys who are considering doing any favors to small-time artists to reconsider them now.
When I first heard about this case, I figured White was just some bum who wanted to weasel his way out of paying for a business license. If the Sparks Tribune — a newspaper! — enjoys First Amendment protection and still has to pay several thousand dollars each year to the city a business license, what makes this wandering artist so special? He may not be such a weasel, but the only thing that makes him special is that he was smart enough to hire a good lawyer.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to see if White's lawyer is available to help the Tribune get out of paying for its business licenses.

Recapping the 10th Golden State of Mind Night where the Golden State Warriors defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in an exciting game.
Just a friendly reminder to get your GSOM Night 10 tickets before they sell out.
The Golden State Warriors avenged an embarrassing loss to the Chicago Bulls earlier this season with a dominant 4th quarter effort. Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis did a lot of big things for the Warriors.
It's just under 2 weeks until GSOM Night 10. We're revealing the GSOM Night 10 t-shirt design courtesy of Tony.psd. While you're wearing the shirt at the game, you'll also get a shot to win courtside club tickets by knocking down a few 3 pointers in our first ever 3 point contest after the game. Grab some tickets and practice shooting some 3's.
We've been working on getting the details done for awhile now but we can finally announce the next GSOM Night. This time we secured one of the most popular games on the schedule - a Sunday game against one of the most exciting up and coming teams, the Oklahoma City Thunder led by Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

Dear…What the hell? I guess…Diary? Jeez, that sounds feminine.
Being carefree became accustomed to the Cullens, and myself. After the big sha-bang with the Volturi, they've left us alone.
We now live in New Hampshire. We moved there seven and a half months after we beat the old sags. I live down the road from the Cullens' mansion, and it's very convenient for me, allowing me to see Nessie everyday.
Today is Nessie's sixth birthday. Her aging has slowed a lot, but she looks like a very mature fifteen year old. Over the years, we've grown even closer to each other than we were in the first place. I'm glad, because now that she goes to high school, I can sense guys will be all over her.
Edward seems unhappy about her maturing, probably because of me, and is always scowling when he hears my thoughts about Nessie, but he restrains himself half the time. I think it's finally dawning on him; She'll be grown up soon. Whether she chooses me or not, she will be matured, and he will have to let her go.
I need to go now, Nessie's party is in fifteen minutes. I hope she likes the necklace I made her…

Which one is more important? Learning, safety or no more hungry? Or same to children? Students in Songjiagou Primary School go to school every day while risking their own security. The torn-down campus in Hezhong County, Gansu, has already been classified as a Grade D hazardous building and repair cannot be further delayed. Parents don't let their children to go to school due to the danger of the building. Meanwhile, the distance between the school and the students' homes makes it hard for the children to go home for lunch; many of them have to sit through classes with empty stomachs. The school's reconstruction is an opportune time to build a school canteen which provides nutritious meals for the children.

Greater Oklahoma City is in the geographic center of North America equidistant from the east and west coasts and major trade partners of Canada and Mexico. The ten county region is at the crossroads of the U.S., sitting at the heart of three major national highways on the NAFTA corridor.
There's a reason Greater Oklahoma City is such a great place for business: Location. The ten county region is positioned within a day's drive of the rapidly-growing south-central region (OK, TX, AR, LA) projected to grow more than 44% during the next 25 years.
Explore the counties and cities of Greater Oklahoma City including major employers and higher education. The ten county region boasts an average commute time of 20 minutes and a skilled workforce over half a million strong.
As summer begins, new graduates are entering the workforce and according to Apartments.com Oklahoma City is one of the first places they should look to start their career. The website ranked OKC No. 7 on its "Best Cities for New Grads" list. The metro's low unemployment and rent rates helped obtain the lofty ranking.

Paycom just keeps growing.
The Oklahoma City-based payroll processor has started an initiative to hire 30 employees in 30 days. And the "30-in-30" project may be just the beginning of another year of forward movement for Paycom, Recruiting ManAger Jim Quillen said Monday.
Resumes are sought
Those interested in applying with Paycom can send resumes to email@example.com. Candidates must have a four-year degree and will go through extensive testing.
"We're probably going to add between 150 and 200 people to our corporate staff in 2010," Quillen said. "I would estimate that probably a little bit more than half will be in Oklahoma City at our operations center."
Most of the jobs being sought are in sales.
Paycom has more than 300 employees, most based in Oklahoma City. Current employees can earn cash incentives if they refer a candidate who is hired by Paycom.
Paycom has 12 sales offices around the country, and plans to open two more in California in the near future, Quillen said. By the end of 2010, the company should have 16 sales offices.
"We're moving ahead aggressively to add more people who can make those (sales) contacts and then fill in here too with employees who service that," he said.
Although the local and national economy has slowed, Paycom has continued to expand, he said.

The Program anticipates that distributed reforming of biomass-derived liquid fuels could be commercial during the transition to hydrogen and used in the mid- and long-term time frames.
Biomass resources can be converted to ethanol, bio-oils, or other liquid fuels that can be transported at relatively low cost to a refueling station or other point of use and reformed to produce hydrogen.
Reforming renewable liquids to hydrogen is very similar to reforming natural gas.
The liquid fuel is reacted with steam at high temperatures in the presence of a catalyst to produce a reformate gas composed mostly of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
Additional hydrogen and carbon dioxide are produced by reacting the carbon monoxide (created in the first step) with high-temperature steam in the "water-gas shift reaction."
Finally, the hydrogen is separated out and purified.
Steam Reforming Reaction (Ethanol)
C2H5OH + H2O (+heat) → 2CO + 4H2
Water-Gas Shift Reaction
CO + H2O → CO2 + H2 (+small amount of heat)
Biomass-derived liquids, such as ethanol and bio-oils, can be produced at large, central facilities located near the biomass source to take advantage of economies of scale and reduce the cost of transporting the solid biomass feedstock. The liquids have a high energy density and can be transported with minimal new delivery infrastructure and at relatively low cost to distributed refueling stations or stationary power sites for reforming to hydrogen.
Ethanol can be made by converting the starch in corn into sugars and fermenting the sugar to produce ethanol. Currently more than 3.5 billion gallons of ethanol are produced and utilized as a fuel additive for gasoline in the U.S. Sugars can also be extracted from other biomass resources, such as crop or forest residues or energy crops, through a series of steps involving mild acid or steam and enzyme digestion. These sugars are then fermented, producing ethanol.
Bio-oils are an oil-like liquid similar to diesel fuel. Biomass can be treated with heat, in the absence of oxygen, to break it down to produce bio-oil in a process very similar to the first step of biomass gasification.
In the United States, there is more biomass available than is required for food and animal feed needs. Two recent reports5,6 project that with anticipated improvements in agricultural practices and plant breeding, 1.2 billion dry tons of biomass could be available for energy use by 2050. This equates to 21 quadrillion Btu/year of primary energy. Current U.S. energy use is 98 quadrillion Btu/yr,7,8 and it is expected to grow to 135 quadrillion Btu/yr.3,4 Current energy use for personal vehicles is about 16 quadrillion Btu/yr.4 Biomass cannot meet all of our energy needs, but it can provide a major contribution.
Because biomass resources consume carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as part of their natural growth process, producing hydrogen through biomass gasification releases near-zero net greenhouse gases.
Reforming renewable liquid fuels is a process very similar to reforming natural gas (a relatively mature technology). Renewable liquid fuels, however, are composed of larger molecules with more carbon atoms, so they are more difficult to reform than natural gas. Research is needed to identify better catalysts to improve yields and selectivity. Other challenges include:
Reducing the cost of ethanol and/or other biomass-derived liquid fuels (research conducted by DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Biomass Program)
Reducing capital equipment costs, as well as operation and maintenance costs, and improving process efficiency (similar to challenges of natural gas reforming).

Mrs Dalloway
ISBN 155111397X / 9781551113975 / 1-55111-397-XFind This Book
As Clarissa Dalloway walks through London on a fine June morning, a sky-writing plane captures her attention. Crowds stare upwards to decipher the message while the plane turns and loops, leaving off one letter, picking up another. Like the airplane's swooping path, Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway follows Clarissa and those whose lives brush hers--from Peter Walsh, whom she spurned years ago, to her daughter Elizabeth, the girl's angry teacher, Doris Kilman, and war-shocked Septimus Warren Smith, who is sinking into madness.
As Mrs. Dalloway prepares for the party she is giving that evening, a series of events intrudes on her composure. Her husband is invited, without her, to lunch with Lady Bruton (who, Clarissa notes anxiously, gives the most amusing luncheons). Meanwhile, Peter Walsh appears, recently from India, to criticize and confide in her. His sudden arrival evokes memories of a distant past, the choices she made then, and her wistful friendship with Sally Seton.
Woolf then explores the relationships between women and men, and between women, as Clarissa muses, "It was something central which permeated; something warm which broke up surfaces and rippled the cold contact of man and woman, or of women together.... Her relation in the old days with Sally Seton. Had not that, after all, been love?" While Clarissa is transported to past afternoons with Sally, and as she sits mending her green dress, Warren Smith catapults desperately into his delusions. Although his troubles form a tangent to Clarissa's web, they undeniably touch it, and the strands connecting all these characters draw tighter as evening deepens. As she immerses us in each inner life, Virginia Woolf offers exquisite, painful images of the past bleeding into the present, of desire overwhelmed by society's demands. --Joannie Kervran Stangeland [via]

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
SAP is buying privately held Hybris in a bid to build out an e-commerce software offering that connects with customers across multiple "channels, devices and touch points."
Terms of the deal, which was announced Wednesday, were not disclosed. It is expected to close in the third quarter of this year.
Hybris, which is based in Switzerland, is the fastest-growing e-commerce software vendor in the world, according to SAP's announcement. It sells an "omni-channel" platform spanning mobile, call center, in-store and Web commerce, and caters to both large and small companies, SAP said.
In addition, the Hybris technology provides a "single view" of customers and products across channels thanks to built-in master data management and other capabilities, SAP said.
Hybris counts Levi's, 3M and Nikon among its more than 500 customers, according to its website.
While Hybris will be run as an independent business unit, SAP plans to integrate the vendor's software with its HANA in-memory database as well as the Jam social network.
The Hybris deal comes some months after SAP launched 360 Customer, which combines its CRM (customer relationship management) application with HANA, Jam and other components.
Collectively, SAP's moves can be viewed as a response to rival vendors such as Oracle and Salesforce.com, which have also been trying to build out product families meant to help companies build closer relationships with customers amid the rise of social media and mobile devices.
The Hybris announcement comes one day after Salesforce.com announced it would purchase multichannel marketing software vendor ExactTarget for US$2.5 billion.
SAP executives are expected to discuss the Hybris acquisition further during a conference call later Wednesday.

For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

He had taken the morning to plant rows of bush beans and okra in his newly acquired space at Cane Creek Community Garden, which has become popular enough among locals that a waiting list has developed for boxes at the facility operated by the Calhoun County Extension Service.
Now, with spring in the air, community gardens are cropping up all over Anniston.
Two new nonprofit-based gardens are looking to duplicate the success of Cane Creek, which is now in its fourth full year of operation and has grown from 12 boxes to 16 organic boxes and 36 conventional boxes, with 12 more under construction, according to David West, extension coordinator for the county.
Joe Jankoski, executive director of the Calhoun County Community Development Corporation, has been working to transform an abandoned car wash adjacent to his office into a community garden to serve the residents of west Anniston.
The CDC's project will follow the model of Cane Creek, where residents can take over a box to plant flowers or vegetables.
"We want to give people in our community access to fresh, healthy produce," Jankoski said, adding that the project can serve multiple purposes. He said there is potential to give participants healthier diets, which could help "make a dent" in endemic diet-related diseases that affect the community.
There is even the potential for participants to sell excess crops at the farmer's market, he said.
The West 10th Street location is served by the Areawide Community Transportation System, which he hopes will make the site accessible to potential gardeners.
With the help of volunteers, Jankoski has been able to begin reclaiming the site, cutting car wash bays down to 3 feet tall, cleaning out an old pump building and readying the location for the next phase of work.
Initial sign-ups show about 45 people interested in taking on a box, which they will rent for a nominal fee, Jankoski said.
His goal is to begin with 12 boxes, which he plans to begin building this month with grant money, private funds and lumber donated from a local saw mill.
At a plot of land across 15th Street from Interfaith Ministries, the setup is a bit different. Earlier this month, local farmer Steve Chapman brought his tractor to town and broke ground for a garden that will serve the organization's clients and the community.
Martha Vandervoort, executive director at Interfaith, said that when the organization provides services to the homeless through its Open Door program, their clients often like to give back through volunteering. The plot of land being prepared for planting next week will give them a chance to do that while also reaping the benefits of their work.
Participants don't have to be Interfaith clients to dig in on the project, though. Vandervoort has invited neighborhood residents to tend the soil and pick what they'll use.
"We really hope the community will buy into it," she said.
Eventually, Vandervoort hopes to have a tool shed built at the back of the property, complete with picnic table and a spot to serve snacks and perform a morning devotional three days a week.
"It's sort of evolving as it goes," she said. "A lot of neat people are coming together."
Most of the vegetables are being donated to the project, and Vandervoort expects to plant a basic vegetable garden that includes corn, squash, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes and possibly bell peppers. Blueberries will be planted at the bottom of the garden to prevent erosion on the sloping site.
The development of these gardens fits right into Councilwoman Millie Harris' vision of a progressive, sustainable Anniston.
"That's exactly what we want to do," said Harris, who has supported a recent smoking ban in public places as well as policy changes to make beekeeping easier inside city limits. And she wants to see more such measures in the course of her term.
"By promoting community gardens, our city has the opportunity to create a healthier culture, cultivate neighborly friendships and make good food accessible, while increasing self-sufficiency," Harris said.
She said she's not sure if the city can help the private entities locate funding sources or if the city could just provide policy support. "That's something we need to look into further," she said.
The core of these projects is a move to take abandoned sites and turn them into community resources.
"If we can do that here and maybe a couple other places in the community," Jankoski said, "maybe we can start to make change."

Former Skyline resident celebrates her 99th
Dorothy and her husband Vincent used to own Clinton Restaurant in Clinton but sold it around1960. Then Dorothy worked at Skyline Restaurant. Sometime after her dear husband Vincent died, Dorothy married Bill Stutz of Leonardtown, quit her job and moved to Leonardtown.
She currently lives with her daughter and son-in-law, Edie and Jack Reeves, in Leonardtown and, Dan says, is "still in great health."
In addition to her children, Edie and Dan, she has seven grandchildren and nine great-grandkids.
Happy birthday, Dorothy! I hope to write about you again on March 18, 2014.

One of the talks was by Kenneth J. Heineman, PhD, author and professor at Angelo State University in Texas. He spoke on Tom Ewing, Jr., the attorney who represented Dr. Samuel A. Mudd at the trial of the conspirators, following the assassination of President Lincoln.
Notice of this talk brought my brother Tom Mudd, with his wife Evelyn, to Maryland for the conference, since he is a great-grandchild of Dr. Mudd. As am I. Tom and I and my grandson Conor McHale attended and enjoyed a remarkable day of history — and delicious meals.
Among the awards given out during the conference were to the four youngest attendees. Three are college students, but the fourth, and youngest, is Aaron Morphew who attends Piccowaxen Middle School in Newburg.

Australia bat first at the Kensington Oval
England skipper Paul Collingwood has won the toss and decided to bowl first against Australia in the final of the 2010 Twenty20 World Cup.
With just over 6 months to go before the start of the 2010 Ashes in Brisbane two of crickets oldest rivals go head to head at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown.
Unsurprisingly England have named an unchanged side once again. With the exception of Kevin Pietersen who missed one game to be at the birth of his first child; the rest of the line up have played in every single game.
Australia have also kept faith with the same line up that produced their miracle comeback against Pakistan in the second semi final on Friday evening.
Australia team - DA Warner, SR Watson, MJ Clarke*, DJ Hussey, CL White, MEK Hussey, BJ Haddin, SPD Smith, MG Johnson, SW Tait, DP Nannes.

Your contribution to National Safe Place will make a difference for young people. Consider this true story: two brothers, age 11 and 16, lived with their mother who was being abused by her boyfriend. Their mother begged them to leave — they climbed out a window and ran to a nearby McDonald's Safe Place location. There they were connected to help and safety and their mother was connected to resources.
Every day, more than 3,500 kids will leave home because they are being physically or sexually abused, because they are being neglected or because their parents simply don't want them there. You can make it easier for them to find help by going to a Safe Place. Youth will quickly be connected with a youth serving agency that will provide shelter, counseling and support. We can only achieve this with your generosity.
