Flaunting the fervor
The San Francisco 49ers enjoy one of the most dynamic and colorful fan clubs in the world of sports, a group that grew immensely during the championship days of Joe Montana, Jerry Rice and Steve Young. So, as we prepare to bid farewell to old Candlestick Park, looking south to the team's future in Santa Clara, take a few minutes to consider the backbone of the operation.

Brandon Paul hit a fadeaway 17-footer in front of two Minnesota defenders at the buzzer, and Gus Johnson freaked out just like you wanted him to. Illinois won, 51-49, and will advance to the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals against top-seeded Indiana. Minnesota goes home with their lofty RPI but an 8-10 mark in league play (8-11 if you count this loss). The next three days could be difficult to watch for the Gophers, depending on what else happens around the country. For instance, Minnesota will be rooting against fringe bubble teams like Maryland and Xavier, and rooting for chalk.
Minnesota's last turnover, its 19th, came with :17 left following a timeout. How does that happen?

HAMILTON — The jury in the federal corruption trial of Mayor John Bencivengo will begin deliberating tomorrow morning after hearing closing arguments from attorneys on both sides today.
The jury decided to go home and return tomorrow morning after hearing approximately six hours of closing arguments today, the fourth day of the trial.
Bencivengo faces five charges, including extortion, attempted extortion, money laundering and two counts of violating the federal Travel Act, which penalizes the use of interstate travel to commit crimes.
Assistant U.S Attorneys Dustin Chao and Harvey Bartle argued in their closing statements this morning that Bencivengo accepted the bribes in return for promises to influence members of the Hamilton school board to retain a contract with health insurance broker Marliese Ljuba. Read More

Munson relishes extra AFL experience
And while his numbers for the Salt River Rafters might not be as noteworthy as 2011 when he helped the Rafters win the AFL championship, he still has benefited from his game situations and preparation.
In 2011 in the AFL, the right-hander was 1-1 with a 1.32 ERA and three saves in 13 2/3 innings, and he pitched two-thirds of an inning in the championship game, striking out a batter.
Through 11 games entering Tuesday, he was 0-0 with a 6.75 ERA in 9 1/3 innings.
During an early season AFL game, Munson was struck on his landing (right) foot by a hard-hit ball. He was sore for a while. He and Rafters manager Matt Williams said his command was affected somewhat, but he still has been able to maintain his routine.
"Things have been going all right. For a while, they didn't go as well as I wanted them to. I went through some tough outings, but I have gotten better, and that's the important thing," Munson said.
"Just like when you have some success and can't get too complacent, you can't get too down when things don't go your way.
"I have kept my confidence. My fastball command is back, and that helps set up the offspeed pitches."
He is encouraged by his effort and the possibilities that lie ahead.
"I wanted to show [the D-backs] that they made the right decision by having me come out here again," Munson said. "I've been working pretty hard. And it's been good to have Matt Williams [also the D-backs' third-base coach] out here with all the time he has put into the game."
The 23-year-old Munson is one of three D-backs relievers on the Rafters roster, with right-handers Evan Marshall and Eric Smith. Williams said they are interchangeable when they enter the game.
"They're all competitive and can work the 7-8-9 [inning] area," Williams said.
Munson, the D-backs' fourth-round pick in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft, spent the entire '12 season with Double-A Mobile, helping the team win the Southern League title.
He appeared in 44 games, going 3-5 with a 6.28 ERA, three saves and 64 strikeouts in 53 innings.
"You have to be aggressive, be in an attack mode most of the time, not a defensive mode," Munson said. "You have to have a killer instinct. And you have to have a selective memory. You have to be able to forget things, because this game can break you."
Munson was in the D-backs' camp last spring as a non-roster invitee. He hopes history will repeat itself in the spring of 2013.
"I am best as a late-inning guy," he said. "A lot of guys fit into the seventh- or eighth-inning range, but I think I can close in the big leagues. It's the best spot in the bullpen.
"You want to be that guy, to keep the game close. You know your team is counting on you. Most of the time, you have to go in and get those three outs, lock down the ballgame. There seems to be a lot more adrenaline. There's just something about it that feels like nothing else."

OpenDocMan is a full featured Web-based document management system (DMS) designed to conform to ISO 17025/IEC. It features an automated installation script, custom themes, plugins, check-in/out, departmental access control, file moderation, fine grained user access control, and a great search function. Written in PHP, and utilizing MySQL for the backend, this project is useful for any company looking to keep their documentation in a centralized repository.
digup is a console tool to update md5sum or shasum digest files. It will read existing digest files, check the current directory for new, updated, modified, renamed, or deleted files, and query the user with a summary of changes. After reviewing the updates, they can be written back to the digest file. This makes digup very useful to update and verify incremental archives like chronological data storages, which are commonly stored and backed up on hard disks. Using a full file digest scan, even slowly creeping bad blocks on old hard disks can be detected. By using a crontab entry, this check can be performed unattended and routinely.
Ranger is a file manager with an ncurses interface. It is designed to give you a broader overview of the file system by displaying previews and backviews, dividing the screen into several columns. The keybindings are similar to those of other console programs like vim, mutt, or ncmpcpp, so the usage will be intuitive and efficient.
When moving files between filesystems that have permissions and those that do not, the user home directory is populated with files of all sorts of permissions. UFPM (Uniform File Permission Modifier) has been designed to modify all files and directories to have a uniform permission set based upon their file type.
File upload and validation class is a PHP class that can be used to validate and process uploaded files. It can validate a given uploaded file by checking its MIME type or its original file type, and by checking its file size against a given limit and file type. It currently supports audio, video, PDF, and image file uploads. The class can create a path in the server as well.
gcp (Goffi's CoPier) is a command line file copying tool, loosely inspired by cp, but with high level functionality like a progress indicator, the ability to continue copying multiple files even when there is a problem with one of them, and the use of a journal to track successful copying. File names can be fixed to ensure compatibility with the target filesystem. If you launch a copy operation when another is already running, the files are added to the first queue to avoid hard drive thrashing. You can keep track of files you have copied, and re-copy them later. gcp is approximately option-compatible with cp.
Deduplicator is a simple and efficient data deduplicator that works by hard linking files that have the same content. It is ideal for reducing the size of backups. It can save and restore intermediate results, so you can run it in a few short intervals, and allows you to review changes before they are committed to disk.
An anti-virus utility for Unix.
An application for creating intricate motifs to adorn borders.

05/08/14: SOPA and PIPA- Through the Back Door?
As you may have heard, the open internet as we know it may soon become a thing of the past.
Obama has long been a proclaimed supporter of net neutrality. During his 2007 presidential campaign he gave a speech at Google headquarters stating, "I will take a backseat to no one in my commitment to network neutrality, because once providers start to privilege some applications or websites over others, then the smaller voices get squeezed out and we all lose. The Internet is perhaps the most open network in history and we have to keep it that way." A admirable stance, but just seven years later we find that the FCC is planning to abandon the "net neutrality" regulations, and under the new proposed system internet providers will be able to create a "tiered internet". Where websites and consumers will have to pay more money for faster loading times. Last year President Obama appointed Tom Wheeler as FCC chairman. Tom Wheeler was a major contributor to Obama's campaign, raising half a million dollars for the president's re-election in 2012 alone.
Wheeler was also previously a lobbyist for the cable and wireless industries, involved with both NCTA (National Cable and Telecommunications Association and CTIA (Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association). Daniel Alverez was hired on to the FCC by Wheeler and he was a long time member of a law firm that advised Comcast and has argued against net neutrality rules. Wheeler's senior counselor is Phillip Verveer, who has worked for Comcast and the wireless and cable trade associations, BOTH whom have opposed net neutrality.
The FCC meets this very month on May 15th. Before that happens, we at Alternative Tentacles urge you to send an email to email@example.com, or direct a tweet to Wheeler himself at @TomWheelerFCC. After that meeting there will be a "public comment" period of 30 to 40 days before they finalize any rules. We urge you to make your voice heard now and don't let the internet be taken away from us.

Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Itchy-O is a 32-piece percussion-centered electronic marching band. They are a driving drum corp complemented by an arsenal of special surround sound effects units including synthesizers, theremin, vocoders, and several other hand held electronic devices, the IOMB completely engulfs and immerses an audience from every angle in an electric bog of music, ephemera and spectacle.
They wage an ongoing war on predictable mediocrity with their guerrilla-style performances which feature an artfully hazardous Chinese lion, sensuous dancing twin apparitions, fog, strobes, sequins, sweat and fury.
They are incredible, and we are beyond excited to be releasing their upcoming album in September in time for their Fall tour of the U.S.
You can however catch them in Denver, Colorado at the Cannibis Carnival on June 24th at the Cervante Masterpiece Ballroom. Tickets Available HERE

05/01/14: Disaster Strikes announce 2014 summer tour dates with Opposition Rising
Disaster Strikes (Alternative Tentacles) and fellow Boston punks Opposition Rising (Profane Existence) have announced their joint summer tour schedule.
In addition to sharing the same hometown, both bands deliver songs that are unapologetically political - promoting messages of labor solidarity and environmental justice in opposition to corporate greed. The tour dates were announced on May 1st in recognition of International Workers Day / May Day - a date globally associated with protest movements for labor and immigrant rights.
"Our first goal as a band is inspiring people towards collective action and to resist the corporate power-grab that is killing our generation's hope for decent jobs and a livable planet. Period. May Day is a global celebration of resistance and that's the spirit of the joint tour we are announcing today," explained Disaster Strikes in a statement released today along with the new tour dates.
The July tour will span the Midwestern and Western United States and will include select dates with punk legends Naked Aggression, D.I., and MDC, amongst others to be announced.
Prior to the July tour, Disaster Strikes is also scheduled to play at Montreal's Pouzza Fest (May 16 - May 18), along with Dillinger Four, Reagan Youth, and more. On June 22, Disaster Strikes will join Negative Approach in opening for Jello Biafra & the Guantanamo School of Medicine at Brighton Music Hall in Boston, MA.
Meanwhile, Disaster Strikes is finishing the tracking of their new full length release "In the Age of Corporate Personhood" at Galaxy Park Studios in Watertown, MA, and are expected to announced a Fall pre-order date prior to the joint tour with Opposition Rising.

For veteran advisors and observers of the advisor industry, Mark Hurley is a lightning rod of sorts, and now he's back. Not that he ever disappeared, mind you.
Prior to founding his current firm, Fiduciary Network, the West Point graduate led, and then sold to JPMorgan Chase & Co., the mutual fund firm Undiscovered Managers, and previously toiled at Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs. Two of his previous studies, released in 1999 and 2005, led to much navel-gazing and naysaying about the future of the independent advisory business, since the takeaway for many was that there would be significant consolidation, especially of advisory firms, where a small number of mega-firms would sit astride the advisory world, and the thousands of small firms would wither away.
Hurley says that that takeaway was flawed, and in an interview in New York prior to the release of his latest paper on Monday, he believes that for the industry, there is no big consolidation coming down the pipe, but there will be more concentration.
In his newest paper, Brave New World of Wealth Management: Opportunities, More Competition, Demographics and Growth Conundrums, running 86 pages with plenty of charts and graphs and cowritten with eight partners at the Fiduciary Network (the paper is available for downloading at Fiduciary Network's site), Hurley argues that there are five "forces" that will "fundamentally alter the economics of every wealth manager." He further argues that existing advisory firms can be separated into three major groups: "evolving businesses," of which there are only about 200 firms out of the total 19,400 "participants" in the industry; 18,000 firms that are "books of business" and have no real economic value; and about 1,000 "tweener" firms, which have some economic value, but which have not "gone through the messy business" of building one of those "evolving" advisory firms.
So what are those five forces? First is the lower number of wealthy people: "The supply of millionaires is still below 2007 levels," he says. Second are the demographic changes among high-net-worth clients. "Older clients, who are more risk averse and are spending their capital" account for a larger percentage of wealth managers' revenue.
The third force is the "nominal returns on low-risk assets," which Hurley says put a "damper on the natural level of client assets," and thus lower fees for the wealth manager. Fourth is that the cost of doing business is rising, somewhere around 5% to 7% a year.
The fifth and final force, he says, also revolves around demographics, but in this instance refers to the rising age of the founders of wealth management firms; their average age is between 59 and 62, he says.
How will the three types of firms be affected by the five forces? "Few advisors understand how these changes will affect them" in particular, Hurley says. The evolved business will grow its earnings, but at a lower rate, he suggests. Adding new clients might be an answer to the five forces, but "new clients need lots of time" early in the process—up to 20 times what existing clients need—which leads to one of Hurley's warnings, which he calls the growth conundrum.
Facing "spiraling costs to attract and serve clients," even the most advanced "evolving firms" will have to improve their processes and make better use of their professional staff members. They'll also have to "reconstruct their comp systems" more toward variable compensation and should "reallocate risk between employees and owners." They can increase their specialization and use "more efficient marketing" to raise their fees.
Finally, they can use acquisitions of other firms, which can allow them to "pick up five to seven years of growth" in one fell swoop. "More of these $10 million [in revenue] firms will buy other $10 million firms," he predicts. Since strategic acquirers of other firms can "pay more because they can strip out costs," many evolving businesses will explore the acquisition path to growth.
The future is not so rosy for the "books of business" firms who will see their profit margins squeezed; they'll "sit and take it" as the industry evolves, Hurley says. After all, when it comes to the value of any advisory firm, "your sale price is a function of sales growth," he says, so the books of business firms, with no or poor sales growth, have no economic value.
Hurley calls the "tweener" firms "the most interesting" in terms of their future viability. Without professional staff, those firms can't get more efficient, leaving them with three options: "Start the messy process" of becoming an evolving firm; sell the business to other wealth management firms; or "do nothing and become books of business."
Since his company, Fiduciary Network, is what he calls a "passive" investor in financing internal transitions within advisory firms, acquisitions of one advisory firm by another, and "buyouts of retired or inactive shareholders," Hurley saves some of his sharpest observations in the final chapter of the paper on the market for advisory firms, and gives some pointed advice to advisors who are looking to buy or sell a firm. (He also speaks extensively on the future of rollup firms and banks as acquirers of advisory firms.)
First, he says there is "plenty of capital available" to buyers, but warns that "all capital is based on the cash flow" of the acquired business. He argues that prospective sellers should "sell sooner rather than later," be prepared for an "emotional roller coaster," and be helpful to buyers. That helpfulness should extend to "sharing your data with the buyer" and assuaging "buyers' biggest fear: that the clients will walk away" after the acquisition. "Help the buyer build a plan to retain current clients," he says.
As for the overall industry, Hurley remains optimistic. "This will still be a great business to be in," he says, "but the easy money has already been made."

No Agreement on $1.2 Trillion in Cuts as Deadline Nears
Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. Congress are nowhere near a plan to avert $1.2 trillion in spending cuts about two weeks before they are set to begin.
It's the latest in a series of fiscal deadlines created by Congress that in the past two years took the U.S. to the brink of a debt default, a government shutdown and middle-class tax increases that neither party wanted. Unless lawmakers act, the across-the-board spending reductions will begin March 1.
Leaving the cuts in place would shave U.S. economic growth this year by 0.6 percent and cost 750,000 jobs by the fourth quarter, Congressional Budget Office Director Doug Elmendorf said yesterday at a hearing.
About half the cuts would affect defense spending, and military leaders are pressuring lawmakers to avoid them. Allowing the reductions, known as sequestration, to take effect would mean less training for Army personnel and fewer purchases of Navy vessels and Air Force fighter jets, the leaders said.
"It's pretty clear to me that the sequester's going to go into effect," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, said yesterday.
'Eerie Similarity'
"It is an eerie similarity here, isn't there, to previous occurrences," McConnell said. "Take no action, go right up to the deadline, and have an 11th-hour negotiation. Read my lips: I'm not interested in an 11th-hour negotiation."
House Speaker John Boehner was quoted by the Associated Press today as saying "it's hard to imagine" the House and Senate agreeing on a deal to avoid the cuts. "This is going to be a little bleak around here when this actually happens and people actually have to make decisions," he said in an interview, according to AP.
President Barack Obama, in his State of the Union address yesterday, said Republicans, Democrats, business leaders and economists agree the automatic cuts "are a really bad idea."
"Some in this Congress have proposed preventing only the defense cuts by making even bigger cuts to things like education and job training; Medicare and Social Security benefits," the president said. "That idea is even worse."
Obama repeated his call for a "balanced approach to deficit reduction, with spending cuts and revenue, and with everybody doing their fair share."
In the Republican response to the president's speech, Florida Senator Marco Rubio said the choice in balancing the budget "doesn't have to be either higher taxes or dramatic benefit cuts for those in need." He said economic growth would "create new taxpayers, not new taxes."
2011 Agreement
Lawmakers agreed to the automatic spending cuts, to be spread over nine years, as part of a 2011 fiscal deal to increase the U.S. debt limit. The spending cuts were supposed to be so onerous that Congress and the president would never let them occur and would come up with a plan to replace them.
Senate Democratic leaders plan this week to outline a $120 billion proposal, including new tax revenue, to delay the cuts for 10 months.
The Democratic proposal would set a minimum 30 percent tax rate for Americans with the highest incomes, known as the "Buffett rule" after billionaire investor Warren Buffett. It would bar companies from deducting the cost of moving jobs and investments out of the U.S., according to a Senate Democratic aide who asked not to be identified because the proposal hasn't been made public.
The Senate plan will include revised defense reductions and cuts to agricultural subsidies, the aide said.
Top Incomes
Republicans in both chambers say they won't accept any proposal that includes new revenue, following the Jan. 1 deal that raised tax rates on top incomes.
Democrats' push for more tax revenue isn't "going to fly" with Republicans in either chamber, Senator Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, said in an interview.
"It's posturing," said Hatch, the top Republican on the tax-writing Finance Committee. Senate Democrats are attempting to look "like they're really trying to do something when, in fact, they know that's dead on arrival," he said.
Boehner, an Ohio Republican, has said he opposes any delay in the spending reductions unless Congress replaces them with other "cuts and reforms," with no new revenue.
As a precaution, the House isn't passing any revenue bills that Senate Democrats could use as a vehicle for a plan that would include higher tax revenue. The Constitution requires tax- writing bills start in the House.
'Harmful Cuts'
"The president laid out no plan to eliminate the sequester and the harmful cuts that will come as a result of it," Boehner told reporters today in Washington. "It's incumbent upon the president and the Senate Democrats to show us their plan to stop the sequester from going into effect."
Boehner said the House intends to wait for the Senate to act on a plan to avert the automatic cuts.
Another fiscal deadline will arrive on March 27, when legislation funding the federal government will expire. House leaders plan to take up a six-month funding measure that would reduce spending levels to less than $1 trillion, according to two Republican aides.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Republicans are willing to let the automatic spending cuts go into effect "without closing a single tax loophole or asking millionaires to contribute a single penny."
Republicans "seem content to sit on the sidelines and let the sequester take effect," said Reid, a Nevada Democrat.
The cuts would be "bad for job growth," said Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee.
'No Disagreement'
"There's no disagreement" on the need to reduce the deficit, Van Hollen said.
Boehner's spokesman, Brendan Buck, said the speaker agrees that the automatic reductions are the wrong way to cut spending. Last year, the House voted on its plan to avert the cuts, though it wasn't considered by the Democratic-led Senate. Now, House leaders won't hold another vote before March 1, said Representative Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican.
"We've done it twice already," Cole said. "I can understand the frustration of my leadership here. These cuts are going to happen."
Some Senate Republicans questioned whether Obama genuinely wants a bipartisan deal to avert the cuts.
"Why doesn't the president call us over to the White House, we sit down and come to an agreement to prevent what the secretary of defense has said would be a disaster for our national security?" said Senator John McCain, an Arizona Republican who has sought to spare defense from the cuts.
'Discuss It'
"If you are really interested in a result, you say to the other side, 'Sit down and let's discuss it,'" said McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee who lost to Obama.
Another Republican who has sought to spare defense, New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte, is pushing to delay the cuts through Sept. 30 by freezing congressional pay and cutting a number of federal government jobs by attrition.
"There are other proposals that could be brought forward that are all spending cuts," Ayotte said.
The Pentagon's military and civilian leaders appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee yesterday to outline what they called the worst possibilities if the automatic budget cuts take effect.
The Defense Department "might not have enough funds" to pay for its health-care system, known as Tricare, according to Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter.
$46 Billion
An across-the-board reduction of about $46 billion imposed on defense programs in the final seven months of the current fiscal year would risk "significant and damaging cuts in nearly every budget category," Carter said.
"These devastating events are no longer distant problems," Carter said. "The wolf is at the door."
Training would have to be reduced for 78 percent of the Army's units that aren't in Afghanistan, South Korea or deploying this year, said General Ray Odierno, the Army chief of staff.
The cuts may hurt the war-readiness of the 82nd Airborne Division brigade at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the Army's premier rapid-deployment force, Odierno said.
Should the reductions last a full decade, the Navy's fleet would be reduced by about 50 vessels to 230 ships, Navy Vice Chief Admiral Mark Ferguson said.
At the start, the service would reduce purchases of Boeing Co. P-8 patrol aircraft, cancel an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer built by General Dynamics Corp. and delay construction of the aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy being built by Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc.
The Air Force would have to cut two of its planned 19 F-35 jets from Lockheed Martin Corp. this year, said General Mark Welsh, the service's chief of staff.

There are some notable differences, though, between the two: The newer Forester I had driven around Upper Cryogenica sits higher, more like an SUV, while the old '99 model is a lot closer to its "tall wagon" Outback roots. The low seat height and high roofline make for an almost bizarre amount of headroom, as C&D noted:
The Forester fits in this group like a silk slipper at a clogging match. Yes, it has the foul-weather agility of a full-time all-wheel-driver and the roofline towers over most cars'. But you sit down low, eyeball to eyeball with all the other auto pilots, with lots of air overhead, perfect for the chef who wants to dress and then drive to work. What we have here is a Subaru sedan with a backward choptop: Height was added.Of course, compared to the Zed Drei which has been my sole ride for the last decade, even the older Subie feels tall and wobbly, but so does my neighbor's Accord coupe.
The lower seating position and manual transmission make for an altogether more car-like driving experience than the newer Foresters, although all that car in the rearview is going to take some getting used to, considering I'm used to being able to just about reach back and pop the trunk latch by hand if the top's down.
Even on the sleazy department-store tires it's currently wearing, this thing is amazingly dogged on the skating rinks we have by way of side streets here in Broad Ripple right now. I'll bet on a good set of winter tires you could put it in first and putter up a frozen waterfall.
I'll be taking it for a highway shakedown cruise some time today, doing a lap around I-465, seeing how it does at freeway speeds for an hour or so straight. I think this is a prudent thing to do before taking a high-mileage vehicle on any roadtrips....

Quote:Martial arts are inherently linked to fighting, however, most martial artists I have met will avoid fighting unless it cannot be avoided. The same cannot be said for many untrained people who feel the need to "prove themselves" and do not have the self confidence which martial arts can give to someone. Martial arts use simple principles of physics and anatomy to improve our ability to fight, restrain people and defend ourselves. These are not the only benefits to be gained from martial arts training, others include:- Fitness and agility- Self confidence/respect- Self control- Better awareness of our surroundings- Being part of a friendly community- And many moreLet me say what everyone will tell you about choosing a martial art. No matter what you want to train for, there is no such thing as a "best" martial art. They are all different and good at what they train in. The best way to choose a school is to go there and ask about free introductory lessons, most schools will give you one or two lessons free to see whether you like the art. Ask the instructor as many questions as you can about the art to clear up any mystery or apprehension you have about the art. Don't go to classes where abusive, restrictive or narrowminded behaviour occurs. Ask around for opinions of martial artists you know or at martial arts stores in the area. If you can't do that, ask on the forum, if you explain yourself you will get a friendly and helpful answer. Many schools are difficult to find and do not advertise much. Often such schools train in community centres or even in universities, if you look carefully you will find them in the darnedest places. A word of warning, there are plenty of scams out there. If the instructor makes outrageous claims or if there is too much money spent on advertising, be wary. If the fees are outrageous or the school is understaffed (too many students for the teachers to handle) or it has very restrictive binding contracts, it may be a McDojo, and one to avoid. Ask around and research about the average price of martial arts training in your area to judge whether you are comfortable with a certain school's fees. Make sure to ask about additional costs, such as grading and uniform/equipment prices. There are also a number of martial arts cults which can be avoided by asking the instructor plenty of questions and reading up on them. If you have any worries about a school, ask on the forum, many people here are qualified to advise you.However, knowledge is power and you can weed out these types of schools with a little research.Most of the time you will not have to prepare to begin a martial art, you will be taught from scratch in most schools you go to. Being fit does help though, as does doing your own research into the background behind martial arts.You do not necessarily have to fight to train in martial arts. In fact, if you don't want to in many countries it's your legal right to never have contact during training. Some people decide they want to go into full contact training and that's fine too. You should note that if you go into a grappling art, you will have to be put in close contact with a training partner and learn how to fall on the ground safely (which can be a little painful at first). In my opinion however, the benefits of being able to fall safely outweight the minor costs. If you are seeking martial arts for self defense, search for a school which deals with it specifically. Usually these train in scenario work and teach issues other than just fighting, such as how to avoid danger and how to escape it. Similarly, if you want to train for sport or competition, find a school which trains for that. You will be more satisfied if you do find an appropriate school.The most important thing is to find an art and a school which suits you.

Tim Tebow reportedly turns down NFL team's inquiry at position other than quarterback
Tim Tebow is an NFL free agent quarterback. Emphasis on the last word.
According to TheMMQB's Peter King, speaking Thursday night on the NBC broadcast, Tebow received an "inquiry" about joining an NFL team at a position other than quarterback. King reports that Tebow declined the request. He also has said no to Canadian football and US Rugby.
[Play Y! Sports Fantasy Football: The No. 1 free fantasy football game!]
Tebow wants to play quarterback. In the NFL. That's it, apparently. He pretty much spelled it out in a tweet last week, which said in part:
"I will remain in relentless pursuit of continuing my lifelong dream of being an NFL quarterback."
When Tebow signed this offseason with the Patriots, there was immediate chatter about him switching to tight end to compensate for them losing Rob Gronkowski to injury and Aaron Hernandez to murder charges. The move never happened. Tebow received some training-camp snaps as a personal protector on the punt team, but his uniform number — 5 —indicated he was primarily viewed in New England as a quarterback. And apparently, not a good enough one, as he was cut.
After being released by the Broncos, Jets and Patriots — teams with varying degrees of quarterback proficiency, ahem — Tebow might need to look in the mirror. We can't blame a young man for chasing his dreams, and we commend his drive, but playing quarterback in the NFL again might be pretty tough to achieve at this point.

|Alina Iagupova has raised eyebrows in Debrecen, ranking first in points, assists, steals and drawn fouls
By Paul Nilsen
The race to make the All Tournament Team at the U20 European Championship Women is gathering momentum as the competition enters its' important final phase in Debrecen.
Ukraine has been led by the unmistakable all-round influence of tournament leading scorer Alina Iagupova who made her bid to make the 'fabulous five' with a marvellous triple-double in the last game of the Second Round.
While her overall shooting percentage isn't exactly fantastic, she has had to cope with extreme defensive attention to average 26.2 points per game and is firing over 40% from long-range which is superb after launching a mind-boggling 62 three-point attempts.
It's not exactly easy for Iagupova who can be seen by many to be trying to win games single-handedly but she has shown she is not only willing to do the hard work on the glass if needed, she is incredibly leading the competition in assists also with five per game.
Then, if you consider she also leads the tournament in steals with 3.7 per game and has drawn way more fouls than any other player, there seems to be an overwhelming case to include her even if Ukraine doesn't make the Semi-Finals.
Meanwhile Lydumyla Naumenko has proven it isn't all about Iagupova since she is in the tournament top five for both field goal percentage and offensive rebounding.
Belarus are another team who many didn't expect to make it to the last eight but Maryia Papova has performed well, leading her team in points, rebounds and assists although just like Iagupova, her field goal percentage isn't spectacular.
This is why team-mate Maryia Filonchyk could be the player who has the best chance of booking a spot with a similarly impressive but more efficient 13 points and 7.8 rebounds per game.
Leading Their Teams To The Quarter-Finals
The Netherlands were the last team to make it to the last eight and they mainly had Zera Butter to thank for this. The guard has been outstanding, averaging 18.2 points per game thanks to her superb perimeter shooting. She has also done a great job defensively with 2.3 steals per game.
Meanwhile France hasn't exactly shone brightly although the one consistent factor they have been able to rely on, is the three-point threat posed by Sara Chevaugeon. She is currently shooting 46.7% from downtown after making a healthy 14 of 30 from long-range.
|Last year's MVP Queralt Casas is likely to add another All Tournament nomination to her collection
Despite not topping their respective group in the Second Round, Spain has been one of the stand-out teams so far and that's not exactly a surprise with last summer's MVP Queralt Casas showcasing her full repertoire of skills.
Lightening quick both in body and mind, incredibly intense and yet so contrastingly composed on her decision making, she has looked every bit a class act once again.
She has the best two-point field goal percentage around in addition to a brilliant 3.5 steals per game but even the best can find areas to improve and she will be slightly disappointed with her perimter game which has harvested just one success from sixteen attempts.
Sweden finished above Spain in the Second Round with both Farhiya Abdi and Amanda Zahui big factors for the Division A returnees as expected.
WNBA draftee and EuroLeague Women player Abdi leads the way in scoring with 16.8 points per game and while she hasn't always shot the ball quite as well as she may have liked, she has made game-winning plays, done an excellent job on the boards and continues to draw copious amount of fouls.
Center Zahui leads Sweden in rebounding, blocks and even steals to underline that she is not only a physical presence inside but also has quick hands and great anticipation on defence. Equally Ellen Nyström has pulled the strings to great effect in the backcourt with 3.3 assists per game.
Turkey is now the only unbeaten team in Debrecen and clearly it has been their overall depth which has been the key with no true stand-out performers - certainly not a bad thing.
The likes of Olcay Cakir, Ayse Cora, Emel Güler and Özge Kavurmacioglu can all probably play even better during the last few days and that is exciting for Turkish fans.
Russia has been inconsistent ever since they tipped-off their campaign although Darya Namok has chosen her moments from downtown very wisely and at crunch times too, making 8 of her 13 attempts.
But, it has been a tournament double-double of 11.5 points and 11.2 rebounds from Sparta&K M.R. Vidnoje center Ksenia Tikhonenko which has been the key to the Russians progressing.
|Poland's Magdalena Zietara has impressed with her decision making in clutch moments of the game
Honourable Mentions
There are of course also plenty of honourable mentions to make for those teams who couldn't book a spot in the last eight including the dynamic Magdalena Zietara of Poland who has really lit it up for her team on a number of occasions and has been a delight to watch. She currently holds the third best field goal percentage in the tournament.
That statistical category is led by the wonderful Zofia Hruscakova who, at the age of just seventeen, has produced an outstanding campaign in the paint for the Slovak Republic. The same can be said for Ivana Brajkovic of Serbia who also impressed under the hoop.
Even in the Relegation Round, players can reflect on satisfying individual performances. It's been a forgettable time for Great Britain but Jessica Hurd couldn't have done much more with 10.8 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, shooting close to 60%.
Caterina Dotto has stood out for Italy, Dita Rozenberga has been a tower of strength for Latvia and Daniela Domingues inspirational for Portugal, leading her team in points, assists and blocks.
There is of course still plenty of time for other players in the Quarter-Finals to make a late run to the All-Tournament Team and especially if they play a major role in getting their team onto the podium.
