Anderson fights through lows to excel at high jump
Courtney Anderson knew she was a talented track athlete when she first attempted the high jump in seventh grade.
After she found quick success with the high jump, she honed her jumping by practicing with a local high school track team when they would come to her middle school. By the time she moved on to Mariner High School in Cape Coral, she held her middle school high jump record at 4-10.5.
As Anderson leaves USF, she has laid claim to more school records. The former Bull holds both the indoor and outdoor high jump records for USF. Her outdoor high jump of 6-1.25 at the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championships was high enough to earn her national runner-up.
Anderson described the experience of becoming national runner-up as the happiest she's ever been. But with the success and jubilation of placing second at the biggest collegiate stage come the expectations and pressure of living up to that jump.
At the beginning of her senior season Anderson struggled with injuries and poor performance. Only six months removed from her success at the championships, Anderson's jumps were already starting to decline drastically.
"I just went into track this year expecting to be as good as I was last year," Anderson said. "I didn't get the training that I had before last year and we didn't have a coach."
Her success didn't carry over from the previous season as she hoped. Anderson's lack of training and arthritis in her knee caused her results to drop. The low point for her happened in New Mexico at the NCAA Indoor Championships.
She was only able to clear 5-6, which is 7.5 inches lower than the USF-record she set in 2013.
"That was the most depressed time for me in track, for sure," Anderson said.
But Anderson used her disappointing finish in New Mexico as a wake-up call. She recovered from her injury and began to take her training more seriously again.
Arthritis isn't something that can be completely cured, but during the season she learned how to manage it with the aid of medication and rehabilitation exercises. Anderson said she is glad she had to work through her weaknesses earlier in the season so she could peak at the perfect time.
Anderson was returning to her record-setting form after tying for third in the NCAA East Preliminaries and qualifying for the NCAA Outdoor Championships again.
However, two days before she was set to compete, she hurt her knee again in practice.
"Two days before nationals, I was doing box jumps and I hurt it," Anderson said. "It crunched a little because it's bone-on-bone. It was really inflamed."
After struggling through the arthritis all season, Anderson knew how to manage her knee so she could be ready to compete. She said she uses lubrication shots to ease the pain and swelling, but for big events she said adrenaline takes over for her.
"When I compete, nothing bothers me," Anderson said. "I could be hurt, but I won't feel it. My legs will get tired before I let myself focus on my knee."
Anderson has had a full season to learn how to handle expectations, pressure and injury. This week, she will look to use this experience to her advantage when she heads to Sacramento, California for the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
To participate in the event, a woman has to jump at least 6-0 at any event throughout the season. Anderson cleared 6-0 for the first time this season on her way to placing eighth in the NCAA Championships.
Even though this event will be her last of the year, Anderson said she is just living in the moment rather than letting the pressure get to her, as it did earlier this season.
Anderson will get her chance to prove that she is still peaking this week at the USA Championships, which takes place from Wednesday until Saturday.

Advanced Armament Corporation
|Lawrenceville, Georgia
|Key people
|Robert Silvers, John Hollister
|Firearms, weapons, sound suppressors
Advanced Armament Corporation or AAC is a company based in Lawrenceville, Georgia that manufactures sound suppressors, firearms and ammunition.
Kevin Brittingham founded Advanced Armament Corporation in 1994 to manufacture sound suppressors, having previously been a distributor for GEMTECH, another suppressor manufacturer.[1] Under Brittingham's direction, AAC grew to be one of the largest suppressor manufacturers in the U.S., including a number of small military contracts. Of note, one of AAC's chief suppressor designers is Robert Silvers, creator of the PhotoMosaic. In 2009, the company was purchased by Remington Arms and became a part of Freedom Group. Shortly after the acquisition, Brittingham's employment was terminated, along with a number of other prominent AAC employees. Robert Silvers remained at the company as a leader of research and development.[2]
AAC has been responsible for numerous innovations with regard to sound suppressor development, among them interchangeable pistons to allow suppressors to be exchanged among firearms with different barrel thread patterns, fast-attach rifle silencers, and the use of lightweight titanium. The company produces numerous "lifestyle" products related to AAC and/or the NFA firearms community, including T-shirts, stickers, etc.[citation needed]
AAC's suppressor lineup includes models suitable for virtually every firearm caliber between .22 Long Rifle and .50 BMG. Rimfire models include the Prodigy, Pilot 2, and Element. Centerfire pistol caliber suppressors include the Evolution series and the Ti-Rant series, both of which use an interchangeable piston system in their Nielsen device. Centerfire rifle suppressors include the M4-2000 (used by numerous military units including the Navy SEALs), the Cyclone and Hunter (for .30 caliber rifles), and others.[3]
The company's Titan-QD Fast-Attach suppressor is used on the US Army's M2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle and the Remington MSR (Modular Sniper Rifle).[4][5] The suppressor eliminates 98 percent of muzzle flash, 60 percent of recoil, and reduces sound by 32 decibels.[6]
Rimfire suppressors[edit]
- Element: The Element is a "thread-on" suppressor for handguns and rifles chambered in .17 HMR, .22 lr and .22 WMR.[7]
- Pilot 2: The Pilot 2 is a "thread-on" suppressor for handguns and rifles chambered in .22 lr that is user serviceable.[8]
- Prodigy: The Prodigy is a "thread-on" suppressor for handguns and rifles chambered in .22 lr that is user serviceable and uses a "mono-core" design.[9]
- Scarab: The Scarab is a "thread-on" suppressor for handguns and rifles chambered in .22 lr[10]
Integrally suppressed rimfire firearms (discontinued)[edit]
- Dragonfly: The Dragonfly is an integrally suppressed Ruger Mk II pistol.[11]
- Phoenix: The Phoenix is an integrally suppressed Ruger 10/22 rifle.[12]
Muzzle devices[edit]
In 2011, AAC was awarded a $14,201,731 contract for the muzzle brakes that they produce known as the "Brakeout". This contract was procured via the Navy Electronic Commerce and Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division.[13]
American Silencer Association[edit]
AAC has been instrumental in forming the American Silencer Association (ASA), a nonprofit trade association "to further the pursuit of education, public relations, legislation, hunting applications and military applications for the silencer industry".[14] Additionally AAC partners with the National Rifle Association in grassroots lobbying efforts to educate voters about firearms legislation.[15]
300 AAC Blackout[edit]
The 300 AAC Blackout cartridge was created by Advanced Armament Corporation in cooperation with Remington Defense, under the direction of AAC's President Kevin Brittingham. The round is very similar to the .300 Whisper cartridge created years earlier by SSK Industries, but AAC submitted the cartridge for SAAMI standardization and allows any manufacturer to use the specifications. This has led to far wider adoption than the .300 Whisper, which is proprietary to SSK. This round has the same overall length and width as the popular 5.56 mm NATO round, except it fires a 30 caliber bullet. These dimensions allow the 300 AAC Blackout to be used in existing magazines designed for M16 or AR-15 rifles. Because the rim of the cartridge is identical, the same bolt and carrier can be used between calibers.[16]
Advanced Armament Corporation builds a number of rifles and receivers for this caliber including the MPW and the AAC Honey Badger PDW.[citation needed]

Come Summer Indian newspapers are agog with colourful advertisements from hundreds of educational institutions and universities, vying with each other boasting of their facilities. Phrases like 'State-of-the-art facilities, best faculty with modern infrastructure, well stocked library, wi-fi network, are flashed in nearly all the ads.
In this scenario, the latest claim is about them being the first in introducing "online examinations". Of late, quite a few universities are claiming this honour. But, are such online examinations truly online in the right sense of the word?
It is quite inconceivable that certain universities which are slated to be the repositories of wisdom, intellect, vision, the wherewithal and the technical acumen end up in such imbroglio. Popular examinations conducted world–wide like TOEFL, GATE, IELTS, USMLE, etc., are, since long, being conducted very successfully online.
Microsoft evaluates the proficiency of the candidates world-wide only through an online examination. But all such examinations require data transfer instantly without any human intervention from the word 'go'.
The examinee needs to have a reliable access to a computer and proficiency in its operation. On the appointed time and date, the examinee gets access to the objective type of question paper wherein he needs to select any one of the answers.
His response instantly reaches the system at the examiner end. The system immediately values the answers and the net result is flashed to the examinee in real time. This in general is referred to as online examination.
In other words, data transfer between the examiner and examinee is in real time and with total confidentiality from the start of the examination to the announcement of the result.
The universities and institutions have to ensure availability of the necessary hardware, software and systems are in place.
On the other hand, any type of intervention, human or otherwise, negates the online concept of examination. In such cases, those types of examinations can, at best, be termed as IT-enabled examinations and not online examination in the strict sense of the term. In case of detailed answers with circuit diagrams, drawings, graphs, etc., the possibility of online examinations has to be seen. Also, the student is not normally proficient to type all the descriptive answers by himself in a PC.
He cannot be expected to have such proficiency in typing as a professional typist. What can be written by him in an answer sheet in an hour needs at least three times more time to be typed on a keyboard. Worst is when he has to draw figures and drawings of all types. Due to such practical difficulties, written answer in hard copies is the only solution.
To bring in the colour of online examinations, some universities resort to scanning of the hard copies and transferring them to the examiner. Thus, the examiner is compelled to read the answers in a monitor and evaluate. It is an accepted fact that to examine an answer sheet in a monitor is most strenuous.
The examiner cannot record his comments on the answer sheets. Is this the online examination which our universities are aspiring to achieve?
The most essential aspect is the total confidentiality and secrecy. The whole gamut of software, hardware, the allied networking and the peripherals has to ensure zero hacking at every stage.
The problems discussed relate only to IT-enabled services. There are much larger avenues of unfair means and foul methods which are specific to IT-enabled exam systems. It is very essential for a university to iron out all such possible details and subsequently launch the online examination system.
There seems to be a race for one-upmanship to claim success in these efforts. But, such initiatives will only result in a total fiasco putting the students and the university in long drawn difficulties and legal battles. Finally it will lead to blame game within the organisation.
It is highly advisable for higher education institutions to set up an expert committee.

The Patriots have always done a nice job finding gems in the unlikeliest of places, with many unheralded contributors over the years finding their way to Foxborough as undrafted or rookie free agents. New England could have another handful make the roster this season -- Jermail Porter, Brian Hoyer and Antonio Appleby are among those who were impressive enough during rookie minicamp to be asked back for the organized team activities.
But who's revealed themselves to be the best diamonds in the rough since Bill Belichick arrived in 2000? The prerequisites for being a part of this group are easy -- you must have gone undrafted, and have signed your first professional contract with the Patriots sometime after Jan. 27, 2000. With that in mind, here's our choice of the Top 5 undrafted/rookie free agents signings of the Belichick Era:
Lonie Paxton. Signed as a rookie free agent on April 19, 2000 out of Sacramento State, the 6-foot-2, 260-pound Paxton spent nine seasons in a New England uniform, and was a consistent presence as a long snapper for some of the biggest field goals in franchise history. He was the long snapper for Adam Vinatieri's tying and game-winning field goals in the Snow Bowl, and also served as the long snapper for Vinatieri's game-winner in Super Bowl XXXVI. Reporters who covered the Patriots since 2000 can't recall a single botched snap from Paxton.
But perhaps his single greatest legacy is his ability to raise the bar financially for many of his long-snapping brethren -- the 31-year-old got a five-year, $5.5 million deal that included a $1 million signing bonus when he signed this past offseason as a free agent with the Broncos. The deal made him the second-highest paid long snapper in the history of the NFL.
"Lonie is a great snapper, and I think that speaks to the fact that he got a really nice contract from Denver to go do it," said Nathan Hodel, one of two players the Patriots figure will compete to replace Paxton this preseason. "At the end of the day, that's a nice way to measure how much somebody wants you -- by how many dollars they put in your pocket."
Randall Gay. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound cornerback was signed by New England as an undrafted free agent out of LSU on April 29, 2004, and immediately became the most popular guy in the locker room because of his good humor. But as a rookie, he was also known just as much for his game. After injuries to Ty Law and Tyrone Poole early in the 2004 season, "Blue" was immediately thrust into the lineup as a rookie, and started nine consecutive contests down the stretch that year. In addition, he started all three playoff games at left corner -- he was the only first year player to start all three postseason games that season -- and spent a good chunk of Super Bowl XXXIX lined up opposite Terrell Owens.
However, the good times wouldn't last for Gay. Injuries dogged him for much of the next two seasons, and he never returned to the same level of play he enjoyed as a rookie. He did return to semi-regular action in 2007, and finished with a career-high three interceptions while playing mostly nickel back. And when New Orleans came calling at the end of the 2007 season with a four-year deal for $17.8 million -- which included $3.75 million signing bonus and $6.9 million in guaranteed money -- the 27-year-old was understandably out the door in a heartbeat, signing with his hometown Saints.
Stephen Neal. Neal was a collegiate wrestling champion at Cal State-Bakersfield -- he wrestled and beat former WWE star Brock Lesnar in college -- who thought he could give pro football a try. He was steered in the direction of the Patriots by Neil Cornrich, a friend of Belichick who decided to take Neal on as a client. Neal signed with New England on July 23, 2001. To say he was a little rough around the edges at first would be a mild understatement.
"When I tell you he didn't know where the field was, he didn't know where the field was," Belichick said of Neal, who did play high school football. "He didn't know how to put his pads on. He didn't know where to line up. He didn't even know where to go in the huddle. When I say starting from scratch, we're starting from below scratch."
Neal was then dropped by the Patriots roughly a month later, and then signed and released by the Eagles. New England picked him up again, and the 6-foot-4, 305-pound Neal has stuck with the Patriots ever since then, a durable and dependable presence at right guard. He re-signed with the Patriot following the 2005 season, and remarkably, the 32-year-old is now one of the most senior players on the roster -- only five current players have been with New England longer than Neal. (The Neal Experiment has worked so well for the Patriots, they've decided to go back to the well one more time -- Porter is a college wrestling champion who was signed by New England as an undrafted free agent this spring. He's current trying to make the team as an offensive lineman.)
Mike Wright. An undrafted free agent who was signed out of Cincinnati on April 29, 2005, Wright -- a defensive lineman -- faced the rather sizable challenge of trying to crack New England's front three, one of the most talented defensive units in the game. While the 6-foot-4, 295-pound Wright hasn't been able to land a permanent starting job, he's made his bones as a quality backup at all three spots along the front of the Patriots' 3-4 scheme. He's used his versatility to gain playing time, lending credence to one of the maxims of the New England front office: the more you can do, the more you can do to help us.
"He's helped us on all three downs in all three spots: nose, end and first, second and third downs. He has had some good versatility for us," Belichick said of the 27-year-old Wright, who will enter his fifth season with the Patriots this year. "Mike's worked hard. He is a strong guy, a very physical player. He plays with a lot of power, so it's good when he brings that element of his game to our front. He creates some penetration and helps get some negative plays."
On March 14, 2008, the Patriots rewarded Wright with a one-year tender of $1.417 million.
Pierre Woods. Signed as an undrafted free agent on May 8, 2006, the 6-foot-5, 250-pound Michigan product proved his worth as a special teamer his first two seasons before moving into the regular defensive rotation last year because of an injury to outside linebacker Adalius Thomas.
In his first two seasons, he was a consistent special teams performer, leading the Patriots in special teams tackles in 2007 and working on spot duty on defense. Last year, his steady improvement was enough to get him into the starting lineup after Thomas' injury -- Woods drew his first start in November against the Jets -- and started most of the games down the stretch. And while he didn't perform at a Pro Bowl level, he was a dependable presence off the edge, a key prerequisite for success in the New England defense.
"Pierre is one of our hardest workers and one of our most diligent players," Belichick said of Woods, a passionate fan of the Cleveland Indians. "He works hard at his job and tries to do everything right, just the way you want it."
The 27-year-old Woods has a tremendous opportunity in front of him -- with the trade of Vrabel to Kansas City and New England's inability to land a quality outside linebacker either in free agency or through the draft, Woods is one of a handful of outside linebackers (a group that includes Shawn Crable, Vince Redd and Tully Banta-Cain) who could see a considerable increase in playing time in 2009.

Elektra Relaunches With Justice, Cee-Lo
By Tom Breihan on June 2, 2009 at 2:05 p.m. EDT
Elektra Records, the Warner Music subsidiary that went dormant back in 2004, is about to return under new management. And from the looks of things, Elektra will be a pretty cool place to hang your hat.
The label's first three signings are EQ-happy French house duo Justice, helium-rasping Gnarls Barkley frontman and hall-of-fame Southern rapper Cee-Lo, and adorably mystique-free British electro diva Little Boots. And while there's nothing too inherently interesting about major labels' continuing practice of splitting their companies up into various subdivisions, this Elektra relaunch is encouraging news because it might mean we'll get new Justice and Cee-Lo albums soon.

Franz Ferdinand Prep Split Single With Dutch Band, Little Boots Remix
By Ryan Dombal on April 13, 2009 at 3:20 p.m. EDT
After a month-long trek in Europe, the well-tailored fellows in Franz Ferdinand begin their U.S. tour tonight in Seattle. But it's not all encores and windmill theatrics; these guys are somehow getting studio work done as well.
According to a post from lead singer Alex Kapranos on the band's MySpace, they're prepping a split single with a Dutch band called De Kift-- who sound a lot like Franz Ferdinand, except they sing in Dutch. On the single, Franz cover the De Kift song "HeisaHo" and De Kift cover the Franz song "Love and Destroy". Symmetry.
Meanwhile, Kapranos just filed a remix for Little Boots' recent single "New in Town", which also sounds a lot like Franz Ferdinand now that I think about it. The Kapranos take is called "No One Is Safe". No word on a release date just yet.

Girls [Central Presbyterian Church; 7 p.m.]
One great thing about San Francisco's Girls: Thanks to them, I've now heard the "Be My Baby" drum-cracks in a church, something I never realized I needed to hear. They play power-pop in the Big Star mode, not the New Pornographers one. There's nothing peppy about them, and their classicist hooks sound like the work of one deeply weird and possibly sad person. But the presumable iconoclast of the group, frontman Christopher Owens, was not the one in the gigantic floppy hat, so apparently this band has at least two weirdos. Their songs all pretty much seem to be about being heartbroken, but they manage to walk that age-old bedroom pop tightrope, never sounding self-absorbed. Owens has a tremulous, hiccupping Elvis Costello sort of voice, and it works to sell his songs even when he stays dead-still onstage with eyes cast down.
Onstage at the truly gorgeous Central Presbyterian Church, Girls seemed a bit out of place. Their songs are deeply satisfying, but they aren't floaty or ethereal, and they never quite fit the space. But their set did what it had to do: It took a band with one 7" to its name, and made those of us in the crowd hearing their songs for the first time want to hear more. "We'll have an album out, maybe in June or something," Owens said toward the end. Look forward to that.
The Rural Alberta Advantage [Central Presbyterian Church; 7:45 p.m.]
The eMusic Showcase at Central Presbyterian was a brilliantly structured event: One big draw (Grizzly Bear) with two immediately likable relative unknowns opening. The Rural Alberta Advantage, in particular, I can see becoming a serious road-trip staple. The percussive, stripped down indie-folk trio plays acoustic everything, but there's nothing quiet about them. Frontman Nils Edenloff sings in a strained yelp and plays his guitar like he's mad at it. This is the kind of band you imagine would do just fine unplugged. And at the end of their set, they did just that, walking to the center of the room and making their voices do all the work.
Edenloff held everything together, but multi-instrumentalist Amy Cole did more to make this band fun to watch. She's a totally winning stage presence, grinning huge and clapping along when she didn't have anything to play. And her xylophone dings and backing vocals added warmth and stillness to the driving songs. Every one of those songs, according to Edenloff, concerns the Canadian province that gave the band their name. And every one of those songs just goes for it, in a racing-toward-the-sun kind of way. This band could be huge.
Grizzly Bear [Central Presbyterian Church; 8:30]
I can't think of any band I'd rather see in a church than Grizzly Bear, mostly because their gorgeously expansive chamber-pop always sounded like church music to me. Grizzly Bear are the sort of band that strains to capture feelings so huge that they might not even have names. Sometimes they can get a bit too reverential of their own hushed beauty, losing themselves in awkward time signatures. But the way they layer those harmonies is how every half-decent church music director wishes he could get his choir to sound.
Rumor said that the Grizz dudes would pull a Decemberists and play Veckatimest, their luminous new album, in its entirety. Rumors were blessedly wrong. Veckatimest certainly would've worked just fine, and it was fun hearing that album's "Two Weeks" get the same cheer of recognition that "Knife" got. And the show did give the new songs epically textured live treatments when most of us are used to muddy mp3s. But I'm glad I got to hear the band do older joints like "Knife" (still beautiful) and their cover of the Goffin/King domestic-abuse oldie "He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss)" (still ghostly and unnerving) in a setting so perfect for them.
Vivian Girls [Aces Lounge; 10:00]
Last-minute scheduling snafus meant that Ebony Bones, originally set to take the stage at 10, got pushed back, and Vivian Girls were onstage when I walked into Aces. This was the second time I'd happened across a Vivian Girls set in two days, and both times it was a complete accident. (The other had been at a rooftop day party where I was failing to find free drinks.) If a band is playing so many SXSW shows that you can accidentally happen across them twice, they are on their grind.
As accidental shows go, Vivian Girls are mostly reliably fun, willing to banter with the drunks in the audience more than they probably should. They covered Wavves' "I'm So Bored", a song they claimed they'd just learned an hour before. It was sort of a good look, their harmonies prettifying the ugliness of the original. And then they played the song again for reasons I couldn't possibly begin to imagine
Ebony Bones [Aces Lounge; 10:50 p.m.]
"We Know All About U", the breakout single from British singer Ebony Bones, is a heavy little piece of seething pseudo-M.I.A. acid burn with a sick John Carpenter keyboard rumbling underneath. It is my shit. And yet I was caught completely off-guard by Ebony's stage show. At Aces Lounge, she came out looking like a disco diva in an early John Waters movie: clown makeup, cartoon-character miniskirt, a massive blonde fright-wig that my friend assures me actually probably isn't even a wig at all. Adding to the general circus-freakout atmosphere: A guitarist in a King Tut headdress, a drummer looking like Ducky from Pretty in Pink on his way to prom, two backup singers in blue wigs, and (swear to god) painted-on unibrows.
Even without the shockingly garish stage show, though, Ebony Bones deserves a spot on the soul-freak continuum somewhere between Nona Hendryx and Grace Jones. Her music is a gloriously messy clatter, howled diva vocals over anarchic, charged-up disco-funk, everything pushing hard against everything else. Her show is a dance party as a 10-car pile-up, and the drunks down front loved it. I'm not entirely certain yet, but I think I did, too.
Little Boots [Emo's Annex; 12 a.m.]
British electro-popper Little Boots is big on pop-star demystification. In a Pitchfork interview, she admits to being a completely dorked-out Killers fan. And in an absolutely charming series of YouTube clips, she sings to her webcam in her dusty apartment, using just a keyboard or a mysterious electronic doohickey to replicate some modern classics. So it was a bit weird to see Little Boots glammed up, taking the stage dressed like a Real Housewife of New York (shiny black dress, teetering heels, choker, tons of eye makeup). Once that first impression dissipated, though, the charm returned.
Her nervous between-song banter and goofy onstage dancing both completely won me over, but neither one competed with her songs. This lady knows how to put a tune together; every track is a deliriously catchy wub-wub dance-pop machine, none better than the set-closing monster single "Stuck on Repeat". She reminds me a bit of Cut Copy, a vaguely awkward and totally likable person making songs that build up and break down at the exact right moment, working a crowd until it's built up to total hands-in-air hysteria. She knows exactly what she's doing.
Toward the back of the venue, I saw Perez Hilton dumbing out with what sure looked like genuine joy, and it made me hate that guy just a little bit less.
Freeway [Habana Bar Backyard, 1 a.m.]
The news that Roc-A-Fella role-player Freeway is making an album with Seattle producer Jake One and releasing it on Rhymesayers is both encouraging and oddly depressing. Free, an incredible MC, never really had much of a shot at becoming a big star, even with a Jay-Z cosign, but he does have a few hits under his belt, and he did have a Mariah Carey feature on his first album. It's weird that he has to sign with Atmosphere's label to get his music out there. But major-label rap has fallen all to pieces in the past few years, and so his team-up with Rhymesayers makes a weird kind of sense.
So it was a bit odd to see Free buddy-up to Brother Ali and shout out his new label (except he kept calling it "Rhymeslayers, so either he was joking or he actually doesn't know that new label's name). But it was also great, because this man is a monster onstage. I've been at Jay-Z shows were Freeway cameos threatened to blow the headliner off the stage on energy alone. At the Habana Bar Backyard, Free didn't seem perturbed at all to be rocking for just a couple hundred faithful. In fact, he seemed amped about it, especially since this was the sort of crowd that bellowed every word back at him. Free's never been the sort of rapper who needed a hypeman, but I never knew quite how rigorous and disciplined his show was until now.
The new songs from the upcoming Stimulus Package were just nasty, but the show hit another level when Free broke out the oldies halfway through: "Rock the Mic", "Free", "Flipside", a near-transcendent "What We Do" with Brother Ali on incongruous hypeman duties. Honestly, the only way the show could've been any better would've been if Free had broken out "Line Em Up". He just killed it so hard, and I left ridiculously happy. An incredible rapper has found a nurturing home, and we can all high-five about that.
Little Boots: A Different Sort of YouTube Star
By Ryan Dombal on January 26, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. EST
Little Boots is pretty much like any other synth nerd who spends their free time uploading Miley Cyrus covers to YouTube. Except most Miley YouTubers don't make the cover of The Fader before putting out their debut album. And most don't end up performing on Later...With Jools Holland alongside bands like the Killers. I guess most don't know their way around a cool-looking Japanese beat pad called the Tenori-on, either. And, come to think of it, most Miley fans probably haven't worked with Hot Chip's Joe Goddard on a couple much-buzzed-about electro singles. But Little Boots, aka 24-year-old Blackpool, England native Victoria Hesketh did cover Miley's "See You Again" (along with many more bulletproof pop hits) on YouTube, so there's that.
Hesketh has been trying to be a pop star for a while: she was a contestant on UK talent show Pop Idol as a teenager and used to be in a dance-pop band called Death Disco. But only now does she seem on the verge of some sort of Miley-dom (think: less squeals, more club beats). Web hit "Stuck on Repeat" has been living up to its name for a while now, and the singer is currently in Hollywood putting the finishing touches on her full-length debut. Recently, she graciously took some time out of her recording schedule to chat with us about internet celebrity, a potentially outrageous new live prop and, yes, the stupidity of Twitter.
News in Brief: Lil Wayne, Little Boots, the Streets, Daniel Johnston
By Ryan Dombal on January 7, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. EST
-- We all know Lil Wayne has his own incredible sports blog on ESPN's website, where he talks about everything from the Dallas Cowboys to Manny Ramirez to 1990s alt-rockers Semisonic ("Closing Time" is his dream closing pitcher song). And now he's guested on ESPN's pigskin chat show 1st and 10-- watch the entire episode here. Personal highlight: When ESPN hot head Skip Bayless admits his favorite Carter III song is "Monster" aka "Pussy Monster", which is quite lewd...and isn't even on the album.
-- From Lil to Little: The most hyped-up, fresh-faced British disco diva of 2009 must be Little Boots (aka Victoria Hesketh). She's already gracing magazine covers and now the "Stuck on Repeat" singer is finishing-up her debut LP in Hollywood along with planning a European tour and releasing a brand new cover of the Giorgio Moroder-Freddie Mercury track "Love Kills". Big things, big things.
-- Australian Streets fans, your time is now. Mike Skinner & Co. will head Down Under the beginning of next month for a brief seven-date tour. U.S. Streets fans, your time is...not now. In a recent blog post, Skinner said it looks like he won't have the funds to make it over to America to support his latest, Everything Is Borrowed. "I've been getting paid to tour all over the world for years as a result of those overpriced CD things," he wrote. "It has to come to an end at some point."
-- Daniel Johnston fans can catch their hero in all his awkward glory on a just-released 23-track live DVD, The Angel and Daniel Johnston-- Live at the Union Chapel, taped in London in 2007. Check here for a trailer and ordering info.

Martin! Man...Something I wanted to say: I AM a greenie mind you, but I'm not an eco-nazi like some are. You want to pay $5 to $14 a gallon for gas? Some want you to. Do you drive a EV or a hybrid at least? Some would rather see you in jail if you're not. Some of them are getting more extreme all the time. You're gas prices might start to go up there within the next two to four days. Where it goes up to this time I'm not certain. If it doesn't go up within the next five days or so and we get a further break going down or sideways on price, then we'll most likely be going up by the 15th to the 24th at the latest. I had REALLY hoped we'd have a break through until the 15th, but it not looking like that. You have a good weekend ahead.

Usain Bolt estimates he ate 1,000 chicken McNuggets at Beijing Olympics
Nov 3, 2013, 11:53 AM EST
Usain Bolt spent much more time eating McDonald's at the Beijing Olympics than he did winning gold medals.
The six-time Olympic champion sprinter believed he ate 1,000 chicken McNuggets over 10 days at the Olympics in 2008, according to the latest review of his book, this one by the New York Post.
"At first I ate a box of 20 for lunch, then another for dinner," he wrote in "Faster Than Lightning," according to the newspaper. "The next day I had two boxes for breakfast, one for lunch and then another couple in the evening. I even grabbed some fries and an apple pie to go with it.
"Man, I should have gotten a gold medal for all that chowing down."
If Bolt ate 1,000 chicken McNuggets, he would have ingested about 47,000 calories.
Will Bolt win World Track and Field Athlete of the Year?
- philliephaninva - Nov 3, 2013 at 11:08 PM
Is he sure they were chicken? This was in China after all

News: Cam Talbot stopped all 26 shots he faced to blank the Flyers on Friday. Analysis: That gives Cam Talbot back-to-back shutouts against the Flyers, who failed to get one by the netminder when the two teams met last week. Despite his extraordinary success against Philadelphia, coach Alain Vigneault will resist the temptation to go back to him in Saturday's rematch, as Henrik Lundqvist has already been announced as that game's starter. In any case, the back-to-back positive turns amount to a nice confidence boost for Talbot, who had mostly struggled in his other outings this season.
News: Frederik Andersen led the Ducks on to the ice and will make the start in goal Friday versus the Blackhawks. Analysis: Frederik Andersen has reeled off three straight wins on the heels of a five-game losing streak, but he'll face a stiff test at home against Chicago. Friday's game will mark the first of a back-to-back set for the Ducks, so it's possible coach Bruce Boudreau will turn to backup Jason LaBarbera on Saturday.
News: Jesse Blacker was recalled from AHL Norfolk on Friday, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports. Analysis: Clayton Stoner was officially diagnosed with the mumps virus and ruled out of Friday's game against the Blackhawks, forcing the Ducks to bring up Jesse Blacker for his NHL debut. The 23-year-old, who is considered one of the organization's better blue line prospects, has four points in 14 games with Norfolk.
News: Clayton Stoner (illness) has been officially diagnosed with the mumps virus and will not play Friday against the Blackhawks, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports. Analysis: Clayton Stoner practiced Thursday and seemed well on his way to returning to action, but apparently some late-emerging symptoms of the mumps will knock him out of action. The setback has to be concerning for the Ducks, who now might have to worry about further players potentially being infected by Stoner. Corey Perry and Francois Beauchemin previously missed multiple games with the illness.
News: Mike Green (upper body) will not play Friday against the Islanders, Alex Prewitt of the Washington Post reports. Analysis: Jack Hillen will spell him in the Capitals' lineup for the second straight game. It hasn't been reported that Mike Green has resumed skating since suffering the injury, so it's not clear when he might rejoin the lineup.
News: Johnny Boychuk will miss Friday's game against the Capitals with an upper-body injury. Analysis: Johnny Boychuk had been missing practices recently with a suspected knee issue, so the fact that he'll sit out Friday with an upper-body injury comes as a surprise. The blueliner, who has been highly productive since coming over in a trade with the Bruins late in training camp, will be considered day-to-day for the time being. Brian Strait takes his spot in the lineup Friday.
News: Chad Johnson will be in the crease Friday against the Capitals. Analysis: Chad Johnson will spell the red-hot Jaroslav Halak in goal, but only because the Islanders are playing the first game of a back-to-back set. The move from Boston to Long Island hasn't proven overly kind for Johnson, despite the 5-2 record he carries into Friday's contest. His 3.33 GAA and .876 save percentage rank 38th and 42nd, respectively, among the 42 qualifying goaltenders.
News: Justin Schultz returned to the lineup for the Oilers on Friday, according to the Edmonton Journal. Analysis: Justin Schultz has been struggling mightily for most of the season and was a healthy scratch Thursday versus Nashville. Schultz has never been the player most thought he could be since coming to Edmonton which could lead one to ask, is that the players fault, or the organizations?
News: Jonathan Quick is expected to get the start in net on Saturday when the Kings take on the Blackhawks, Helene Elliott of the Los Angeles Times reports. Analysis: After backing up Martin Jones for the Kings' previous two games, Jonathan Quick is expected to start in net on Saturday. Quick struggled in his last start, making just 18 saves in a 5-4 loss to the Stars. The extra rest could very well lead to a bounce back performance for the King's star goaltender.
News: Duncan Keith contributed an assist and was a plus-3 Friday, earning first star honors in a win over Anaheim. Analysis: Another solid outing for Duncan Keith, who is now riding a four-game point streak, putting him at five goals and 15 points in 23 games on the season. He is an absolute workhorse and one of the most consistent fantasy defensemen around. Keep him rolling.

Newly signed Maybach Music Group artist DJ Scream has opened up about signing on the dotted line for rap star Rick Ross' growing empire and what their partnership ultimately means for the future.
According to Scream, fans can anticipate bigger outcomes from his daily grind.
"It's a great feeling; I fit right in with the team and we all share a similar vision when it comes to our goals," DJ Scream tells XXL about the signing, adding that he looks "forward to big records, big mixtapes, big shows, a DJ Scream album, and a lot more power moves from the MMG Empire." "Everything is in the works but nothing is confirmed yet as far as dates," Scream adds. "Just stay tuned. We gonna make history. DJ Scream. Hoodrich! MMG!" (XXL Mag)
A few days prior, Ricky Rozay made the formal announcement welcoming Scream to MMG.
"This is one of the moves I'm most proud of," Ross said in an interview. "This is something I've never done, but something I'm excited about. Me watching Scream build his brand for the last few years, be a part of some of the dopest projects to come out of the South — I wanted to see the homie make a major debut. Put out an album on a worldwide scale and that's something we [gonna] do. I'ma support the homie on all of his endeavors." (Hot 107.9)
Scream also took to his Twitter page to break the news.
"Its time…," he tweeted August 1st.
"DJ Scream is Maybach Music Now! … Its Offcial. Now time to get RICHer… #Hoodrich Thnk u @rickyrozay" (DJ Scream's Twitter)
Scream is most known for working with artists from the Atlanta area.
"I'm a native of the A-Town and have been creating mixtapes for close to a decade now. Some of the names that I have put on in the area include Shawty Lo, Rocko, Crime Mob, Yung Ralph, J Money, Soulja Boy and some others. Working with these artists has been a pleasure, and the fact that we have dropped street classics that people still bump is even more of a thrill." (MTV Newsroom)
