The Lions have once again brought in some veteran help for their struggling defense.
Rashean Mathis, the veteran cornerback who has been looking for work since becoming a free agent in March, signed with Detroit today.
This represents the third time that the Lions have signed a veteran for their defense in the last 48 hours, coming on the heels of the signings of defensive tackle Justin Bannan and linebacker Rocky McIntosh.
The Lions' defense has struggled in each of the team's two preseason games. Mathis, Bannan and McIntosh all have a good chance to make the 53-man roster and provide some useful depth on a unit that needs help.

Gifts for the Future
As you begin to plan your estate, think about the people and institutions that have played an important role in your life.
You can help support the future work of La Leche League International (LLLI) by including a charitable bequest in your will or revocable trust.
A bequest is easy to arrange (see "Ways to Make a Bequest"):
It is not payable until death, so it does not affect your assets or cash flow during your lifetime.
It is private – your will is not filed or made public until your death.
It is revocable – you can change the provisions in your will or trust at any time until death.
A charitable bequest or trust distribution is deductible for federal estate tax purposes, and there is no limit on the deduction your estate can claim. In addition, the gift is usually exempt from state inheritance taxes.
Ways to Make a Bequest:
Specific Bequest
Your bequest can deliver a specific dollar amount, asset, or percentage of your estate:
"I bequeath to La Leche League International, 35 E. Wacker Dr., Suite 850, Chicago, IL 60601, the sum of Ten Thousand ($10,000) Dollars to be used in support of La Leche League International programs."
Residual Bequest
Alternately, you can give all or a percentage of the balance remaining in your estate after expenses, taxes, and the specific bequests have been paid:
"Of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate I give Twenty-Five (25%) Percent to La Leche League International, 35 E. Wacker Dr., Suite 850, Chicago, IL 60601, for its general purposes."
Contingent Bequest
Finally, your bequest can be payable to LLLI if the initial beneficiary is unable to inherit it:
"If my nephew does not survive me, is otherwise unable to inherit, or disclaims this bequest, I direct that it be paid to La Leche League International, 35 E. Wacker Dr., Suite 850, Chicago, IL 60601, for its general purposes."
Charitable Remainder Trusts
Charitable Remainder Trusts offer you a way to give a major gift to LLLI, while providing you with income payments for life or for a fixed period of time.
The amount of income paid out each year during the life of the trust depends on whether it is a charitable remainder annuity trust or a charitable remainder unitrust.
Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts provide a fixed dollar amount with each payment to the beneficiary. This amount corresponds to a percentage of the original investment paid out annually.
Charitable Remainder Unitrusts provides a fixed percentage of the fair market value of the trust assets, as determined each year.
Gift Annuity
A charitable gift annuity enables you to transfer cash, securities, or other assets to LLLI. In exchange, you receive fixed payments for life and an income tax deduction. Annuity payments can begin immediately or can be deferred to some future date.
Life Insurance
A gift of life insurance is a convenient way to leave a gift that supports the work of LLLI. The different giving opportunities that are available with life insurance are:
Purchase a life insurance policy and name LLLI as the beneficiary and "owner." You pay the annual premium, which you can deduct from your income tax as a charitable gift. On your death, LLLI receives the life insurance benefit free of any taxes.
Gift an existing policy to LLLI. If you have a life insurance policy that you no longer need, consider giving it to LLLI. You may receive an income tax deduction in the year of the gift, as well as for future premiums that you pay.
Name LLLI as beneficiary on your policy for either all or a portion of the death benefit. You will still own the policy and continue to have access to any cash value. Although this approach may not provide a federal income tax deduction in the current year, your estate may receive an estate tax reduction for the amount of the death benefit that you bequeath to LLLI.
This information is general in nature and does not constitute legal or professional advice. We encourage you to seek professional legal, estate planning and financial advice before deciding upon your course of action.
Thank you for your support of La Leche League International!

Baseball America has ranked the Mets' minor league system 20th in the majors, ahead of only Washington in the NL East. The Phillies are fourth, Braves seventh and Marlins ninth. The Nationals are at 26.
The Phillies are deep, meaning they have the chips to spend on a major league arm, such as Roy Halladay, if they chose. If Toronto goes outside the division, I'm still saying the Phillies will get him.
Baseball America did rank the prospects Ike Davis and Jenrry Mejia among the top ten prospects in the Arizona Fall League.
Despite horrid numbers, the scouts love Mejia's arm strength. Still, he's at least two years away. The Mets see Davis in 2011 and that's conceivable. Scouts are saying he has 30 homer potential, but they don't like his propensity for striking out, saying it will drag down the rest of his game.

BMW and Pininfarina are two of the most iconic names in motoring. BMW having created some of the most rewarding driving experiences on the road to date. Pininfarina hasn't skipped a beat since it was founded by legendary designer Battista "Pinin" Farina in 1930. The infamous Pininfarina has laid its hands on automotive sculptures from the Cisitalia to the P4/P5. Each company brings cutting-edge technology, style, dynamics and aesthetics to every project they unveil - the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé. Unveiling the outcome of their first collaboration at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2013.
"The appeal of this collaboration with Pininfarina is that you get another, very different and special angle on facets like luxury and exclusivity," notes Karim Habib, Head of BMW Design.
With its broad, wheel-focused stance, the front of the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé incorporates dynamic athletic lines and the trademark BMW kidney grille forms the focal point of the front-end design. All surfaces and lines throughout the entire car take their bearings from its "shark nose" implied inspiration. Symbolically it points to the engine at the heart of the vehicle, a V12 unit hidden behind it.
The flat headlights underline the road-focused look associated with a BMW and round off the "face" of the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé. The detailed and accelerated front bumper concludes the front end of the car dipping toward the earth ready to leap again as soon as your right foot dips into the accelerator.
Within a powerfully present silhouette, convex tapering on the sides add a dynamic elegance and give the body a tautly athletic shape - keeping true to BMW's current design DNA. Stretching the contours of the vehicle accentuate the car's newfound contemporary motif. Higher shoulders and long roof line allow the car to carry an assertive and elegant road presence. Ascending from the front Air Breather behind the wheel the bodyline adds tone and definition visually making the car seem lower and faster within one simple gesture. These key features highlight Pininfarina's sensitivity and life long practice of surface control allow light and shadow to dance across the surface.
The drama captured in the side profile elegantly evaporates into the tail of the Lusso Gran Coupe. Combining distinguished horizontal elements allow the car to seem broad and aggrandized while the tapering rear haunches bring calculated sophistication to its power. Imagine the tailings of smoke attached to a after a lengthy burnout session - thick, proud and instantly rewarding. The taillights receive equal bold styling thanks to their slender L-shape design complimented by its jewel-like appearance shrouded in matte aluminum trim. Their openness actually allows air to flow through them not just around them.
"The result of this cooperative venture is far greater than the sum of its parts," says Fabio Filippini, Head of Design at Pininfarina.
Combining rare fossil wood, expertly tanned leathers with contemporary geometric design make the Lusso Gran Coupe a rolling example of nature and nurture harmony. The illusive kauri wood from the fossil rich swamps of New Zealand evoke a unique grain that shifts from gold to red to brown hues, depending on each viewers perspective.
The hides used to throughout the hyper dynamic driver focused cockpit have been acquired through Foglizzo leather factory that have painstakingly tanned and characterized the black and light Tobacco Brown leather. The roof liner of finest Italian virgin wool features the striking "Principe di Galles" pattern. Allowing extra light into the interior is an oblong aperture in the roof liner, which is additionally illuminated by white LEDs.

In recent months, there's been a lot of talk about proposed hiring and pay freezes and mandatory furloughs in the federal government. But those ideas could become reality if Republicans on Tuesday win the necessary 39 seats to gain control of the House.
House Republicans unveiled their Pledge to America in September, promising to reduce the size of government and freeze hiring for all nonsecurity-related federal positions. Lawmakers in both chambers also have pushed several measures that would affect federal jobs and benefits. For example, Republicans have introduced legislation that would furlough all federal civilian workers for up to two weeks in 2011 and make those with outstanding tax debts ineligible for continued government employment. Bills in both chambers would cap the federal workforce through attrition or by allowing agencies to hire only one employee for every two employees who leave.
In addition, GOP lawmakers have used the YouCut program to push federal workforce reductions. The initiative, designed to control government spending, allows the public to vote online, or via text message each week on legislative proposals. The winning idea goes to the House floor.
Federal workers have friends in both parties, says Jessica Klement, government affairs director for the Federal Managers Association. While the group's priorities won't change based on leadership on Capitol Hill, election results could affect progress in achieving those goals.
"[Federal employees] have strong supporters on both sides of the aisle, but a quick tour of the YouCut website tells you the priorities of [Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio] and [Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va.]," said Klement. "If those are priorities of the leaders, they could become more than just something the American public votes on."
If Republicans gain control of the House, Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., will no longer be majority leader. Hoyer has been an advocate for federal workers' concerns, and union leaders have said a leadership change could affect the tone of the conversation about the government workforce or even invite attacks on federal employees.
"Democrats will keep the House, and I will continue to work with members across the aisle to address the issues of importance to federal employees, many of whom are my constituents," said Hoyer in a statement to Government Executive.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., would assume the chairmanship of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee if Republicans win the House on Tuesday. Issa's office in September released an outline of priorities for the committee under his leadership. The report, which focused on issues like stimulus spending, health care oversight, federal agency performance management and domestic terrorism, cited a growing federal workforce as a potential contributor to government waste, fraud and abuse. Issa spokesman Frederick Hill said the committee does not yet have a more specific agenda outside of those guidelines.
Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah would take over the subcommittee tasked with overseeing the federal workforce and U.S. Postal Service. Chaffetz angered many government employees and union leaders earlier this year when he introduced a bill to fire government workers who owe back taxes. He also has drawn criticism from the postal community for his opposition to the agency's five-day delivery plan and his proposed legislation granting the Postal Service 12 postal holidays every fiscal year to suspend mail delivery.
USPS spokeswoman Joanne Veto said leadership changes won't affect the Postal Service's legislative agenda. The agency has been pushing for flexibility to close post offices for economic reasons, determine the number of weekly mail delivery days and adjust requirements to prefund its retiree health benefits.
Union leaders have said they will continue to work with both Democrats and Republicans on issues in support of their members, but acknowledged it could be hard work. Colleen Kelley, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, expressed concern that a Republican takeover could lead to freezes in federal hiring and pay, as well outsourcing accompanied by cuts in government jobs.
"We're extremely concerned about a change in the House because many of these new congressional people coming in are obsessed with this rolling back government to some small government," said John Gage, president of the American Federation of Government Employees. "I think we will be in really tough shape on appropriations and federal pay. I don't know if they're gung-ho enough to go after federal health care and retirement, but I wouldn't put it past them."
On the Senate side, there is less change expected for the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Committee Chairman Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and Ranking Member Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, have a positive working relationship, which Collins has pledged to continue regardless of Tuesday's outcome. The roster of the federal workforce subcommittee will change, however. Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, long active in federal employee issues is planning to retire, while appointed Sens. Ted Kaufman, D-Del., and Roland Burris, D-Ill., will not return.
According to committee spokeswoman Leslie Phillips, legislation extending benefits to the same-sex partners of federal employees is likely to be on next year's agenda, in addition to issues like homegrown terror, cybersecurity legislation, reform of the Federal Protective Service, and oversight of border security and emergency preparedness.
"Federal employees don't all paint with the same brush, and they don't all vote the same way," said Klement. "They don't hold homogenous views or vote solely for the Democratic ticket. You can't lump all 2 million together."

If Welsh is willing to drop his gloves from time to time, he might have the spot instead of Sestito. I am not saying that Sestito is a great fighter. However, he brings something that the Canucks sorely lack, size and grit.herb wrote:One thing I don't like about Torts is his propensity to play Sestito, for some reason, when he is clearly just a terrible hockey player.
I had a chuckle when the fourth line's ice time went down to ~5 minutes with Sestito back in the lineup after the Welsh-Dalpe-Weise line played 9-10 minutes against Edmonton and Boston.
Welsh has the potential to be a third line center if he could improve his game.

Advertising has changed. Make sure your business is keeping up with that change.
Advertising just doesn't work like it has in the past. It won't ever work that way again. The days of Mad Men smoking and drinking in the office and making tons of money for messing around with client's money isn't a model that was sustainable in the first place.
National car manufacturers have dramatically pulled back from traditional advertising. Others national companies are following suit. That's why today you see plumbers and painters advertising on television when in the past it was unaffordable to them. Stations are scrambling to make up for those lost dollars.
What IS working is a more personal approach that can be tracked. Businesses are moving toward social networking and developing one-on-one relationships with customers. Customers are wanting and getting more control than ever before. They are demanding to be listened to - and a business that doesn't do that is bound to fail.
But it's easier than ever to succeed. Look at the tools that are available to us to reach out and connect with customers. There is an amazing selection. You may think social networking is a passing fad, but I assure you it isn't. Dive in, figure it out and find out what works best for your customers. Then use those tools to help your business grow.
The best thing is that with new media, you'll find results can be monitored. You'll know that most of your customers visit your website on Thursday, and that they respond best through FaceBook. So when you start a sale, Thursday announcements on FaceBook is a great way to start. This is just an example - each business will be different.
So take a look at social networking, Internet advertising and other new media options. By keeping up with advertising trends, your business will grow and prosper.

Now it is extremely difficult to believe that there was no connection between his suicide and the sentence that he may, at some point, have had to serve. But the suicide note he left (via a video recording) leaves me a little baffled. Here are some excerpts:
I'm sending this message to explain what i did and ask you to stand up for your and my rights.
I discovered that life is a prison. we are not free. we don't have a choice. Not even to eat, drink, feel or not!
I also discovered that life has a purpose: for us to breed! to transfer our gene.
However, i also discovered that there is one status of which we can be free. Really free. The state of not being.
I'm not depressed. I'm perfectly sane. i don't take any kind of drugs. I have regular and frequent sex. i eat well. i work a lot :D lol! i achieved many things in my life... i loved and got loved...
I just decided to break free!"
In his note, he does mention that he'd been preparing for this day for 3 years, i.e. the year he was assaulted. But his note points to a broader outlook. He seems to indicate that his journey and fight has taught him that we have no choice in life, that whether he was in a real prison or not, life itself kept us locked up. I don't know what he means by that. Are we prisoners of our own bodies (hence the reference to food, drink and procreation)? Or is he saying something else? That however hard we fight, we will never be free of the shackles we have created for ourselves. That the system is much stronger than any of us.
I wonder though. If Nour was not sentenced to prison, if he had won that fight, would he have gone through with this? Had he given up on life long ago? For our sake, I hope not.
All I can say is, RIP Nour. You have touched us all. I hope your family and friends respect your wishes to be cremated. But I also hope you're wrong...

I am writing regarding the Oct. 20th article, "Former trooper helps others cope with stress disorder."
John Rutledge Jr. was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) when someone shot into his brick house when he was not at home.
I am a Vietnam veteran, who was wounded twice and also diagnosed with PTSD. I know many fellow veterans, who are suffering with PTSD. We all agree that we don't go out on weekends and shoot each other with paint-ball guns.
Instead of drawing disability, Rutledge needs to do something he is not afraid of.

It's of no interest to us.
I sent them an e-mail regarding the matter and If they even have information about the upcoming volume wich I highly doubt.
I'm guessing this means we get some more episodes soon or atleast the future breaks will be shorter(?).
I have contacted the company about Volume 38 this is what they had to say ,"Thanks for your message , we have checked our Informations regarding your request , and Volume 38 of Berserk WILL release on the 15th of September in Germany."....Im still confused as heck. I mean we would have to get every YA 1 Chapter if this were to happen.
I'm guessing this means we get some more episodes soon or atleast the future breaks will be shorter(?). Atleast if that's the german translated version they are talking about, if it's the japanese version then Miura still got a year ahead of him and we will see more breaks.
Here is some more German preview for your viewing pleasure. From a fbook post "...Thank you for your message.We are happy to have researched for you.The article appears in stock on 10/12/2015.We hope to have helped with this information and provide you with further questions at any time at your disposal.Yours sincerelyYour thalia.de teami.

Training for BJJ and MMA
One of the most frequently asked questions I get is, "What kind of workout should I be doing for MMA or BJJ?" This same question, of course, could apply to any sport.
Sometimes you'll see magazine articles by strength coaches outlining workout programs for various sports and martial arts but I have a problem with this cookie-cutter approach: these programs end up being one-size-fits-all...but-me!
Creating workout programs is as much an art as it is science. Before slapping numbers into arbitrary sets and reps on paper you have to know something about the athletes with whom you're working because, in many cases, the wrong exercise prescription can do more harm than good. Martial arts and grappling are especially strenuous activities and the people who participate in them tend to be extremists already prone to falling into the dreaded overtraining. Participation in these arts provide, for the most part, the specific conditioning needed for same, i.e., if you want to be a good grappler, you've got to grapple; if you want to be a good boxer, you've got to box, etc. The smart strength coach analyzes his athlete to find the chinks in his armor. For example, if I have a BJJ player demonstrating better-than-average flexibility, with good muscular endurance, but lacking strength, it makes no sense to put him on a yoga-based conditioning program or endurance training. What makes sense is to bring his absolute strength up as high as possible. By the same token, if I have a fighter with great strength but no gas, and worse, tight connective tissue, I'm going to put him on an endurance-building program and work on freeing up his joints and increasing his mobility. This is how it's done, and following a program from a magazine may not suit your particular set of weaknesses. I want to work to the athlete's weakness--not his strengths--and no two athletes should have the same exact program (unless they happen to be twins.)
I'm going to give you another example: a program I created for myself. I've been in Philly for the past month, training at Maxercise in BJJ and submission wrestling. The workouts have been brutal. Lots of sparring and live drills. In the team practice sessions, there are times when everyone in the room has placed in the top 3 in the world, in their respective categories--we're talking about some truly elite training. As a 55-year old athlete, training with these kids takes a toll and I must be very careful in the way I add supplementary training. I noticed my shoulders and elbows were bothering me, in fact, both my shoulders were tweaked. I decided to create a program that would be shoulder-strengthening while simultaneously mobilizing, brief in time, without overtaxing my recovery and still allow me to practice the basic kettlebell skills needed for my upcoming seminars. Here's the prgram I settled on, which met my specific weaknesses:
1) Screw Press aka Bent Press
*this is an old-time lift that really hits the upper torso and works the shoulder at an odd angle you might just find yourself in when training BJJ. It's the only press I know that thoroughly works and stimulates the lats, which are major shoulder stabilizers.
2) Clubbell 3-Movement Kinetic Chain:
a) shield cast
b) mill
c) 45-degree angle lockout
*this kinetic chain puts your wrist, elbow and shoulder into all the submissions you might find yourself in during a jiu-jitsu match, thus strengthening the tendons and muscles at odd angles and producing freedom of motion, as well as strength.
3) One-Arm Long-Cycle Clean and Press
*this adds a whole-body element of conditioning. It's shoulder/arm intensive but with repeated, explosive leg drive, thus providing an overall metabolic effect.
None of these exercises are especially strenuous, when compared to double-kettlebell drills, so they don't interfere with my recovery from the heavy, live-grappling sessions. They specifically mobilize and strengthen my joints where I need it and allow me to recover from a heavy training schedule. In other words, this workout is basically a form of active recovery.
The sister workout is a heavy, low-rep, strength-based workout consisting of two movements:
1) a super-slow reverse Turkish Get-Up
* a standing, one-arm clean and press, then very s-l-o-w-l-y lying down, taking an entire minute to get down on the floor, then getting back up, taking a moment to pause in each position.
Included in this super-slow get-up were a side-plank and, once in the recline, an arm-bar.
One repetition of the entire exercise, using the 24 kg, took 2 minutes.
I super-set this with a set of:
2) Weighted Pull-Ups
* done slowly from a dead hang with a 10-second pause at the top with the throat over the bar.
I alternated these two exercises for three sets of each.
When I finished, I felt refreshed and recharged. My shoulders felt worked from every possible angle and I felt what I can only describe as a healing circulation of blood flow through the joints. I didn't need any more endurance work (I'd already had it with over an hour of live training, including takedowns and throws) so doing swings, snatches, and so forth would have been redundant. In weeks previous, I'd been doing sprints and stair sprints but the sudden increase in BJJ volume and live matches also made that type of training unneeded.
This is how I also analyze each of my personal training clients. In my next blog, I'll share how I analyzed my own son, world-class BJJ fighter Zak Maxwell, and the specific program with which he currently trains.
Yours in Strength & Health,
Coach Steve

Fantastic Blog Steve, I just recently found it after reading the "Naked Warrior" and searching your name. I spent the rest of that morning reading all the past entries. Thank you for taking the time to write it and for sharing your vast experience and expertise. It was great to see the accomplishments of your son, who is of course mentioned in TNW. A wise man once said you can judge a tree by its fruit and you can see the good fruit produced by the training methods you have developed in both you and your son. Looking forward to your thoughts on training kids as I am a father of three with another on the way.
Thanks again,

I'd say great post Steve but I don't want to repeat myself all the time ;)
Just kidding - fantastic work.
And I have some BJJ related Q for you
- could you write something about your work with Saulo? How did your cooperation look like. What was your job exactly? Was he low-carber that time? BTW - did you work with Xande too?
- have you ever worked/trained/fight with Rickson? Is he really THAT good?
I remember - I guess Roleta while visiting Poland - said that Rickson is like from outer space and all those black belts from Gracie Barra didn't really know what he is doing to them. I wonder if that's true
thank you for your fantastic blog

Hi Rafal, Sorry, I can't tell any details about the private training I did with Saulo and Xande because I was under contract with them and there are privacy issues.
Re: Rickson, I saw him in action at the Gracie Acadamy during the early 90's and yes, he's every bit as amazing as what the people say. Thanks for reading, Rafal.-Steve
- August 3, 2008 at 10:25 AM
OK, thank you Steve
I was asking about Saulo's diet coz I wonder if you know some other athletes who use some sort of low-carb dietes. We all know you do. I've heared dr Ellis worked with some good triathlon guy. Aajonus states he did it with some Karate guy too. But it's very hard to shift that paradigm that carbs and carb loading are essential for any athlete.
And I was kinda surprised reading here " If you're low-carbing, be sure to replenish glycogen with a post-workout carbohydrate/whey solution." I thought you dont do loading of any kind
Once again best regards from Warsaw, Poland

Hi Rafal, I've been using post-workout carbs for over a year now. My gf turned me onto it and I really liked the results. Very low carb diets make it near impossible to do HIIT but with PWO carbs it's not problem. I spoke to Ellis about it and he doesn't approve but it works for me. Read Anthony Colpo's suggestions. How's it going in Warsaw? I'm in Reykjavik right now. Steve
- August 6, 2008 at 4:47 AM
Iceland? Cool! What are you doing there Steve? Do you know that Icelandic men have the longest life expectancy in the world, living an average of 79.4 years. And it's funny that you are there, 'coz on polish low-carb forum we were talkin' like a week ago about Iceland and there native diet - and it looked a bit like Inuit I guess. Do you know what they like to eat and how it looked like in the past?
And Iceland is on my list of future visitations ;)
About carb loading - I'm in touch with one guy who is cyclist and low-carber. Every day he goes like 120km with average speed over 30km/h. He states he can generate 5,7W per kg for 30min! But - he eats 1gr of protein per kg of his body, coz over 1gr makes him weaker and fatigue kicks in. So his diet looks like that - 50-60gr of P, 30-40gr C and rest from saturated fat. Every time he tried to go like 100-120gr of protein he felt worse.
Do you know anything about this more protein > fatigue thing?
PS - It's ok in Warsaw and weather is getting better :)

As Fajr V rockets rained down onIsrael from battleground Gaza for a week, manyIndian defense planners were keeping a close watch on the performance of Israel's Iron Dome, which is probably the only deterrent to these homegrown short-range missiles.
It was not just out of curiosity regarding one of the most effective systems against rockets, but also because of the possibility of India acquiring an indigenous version of Iron Dome.
Several months ago, the military scientists in the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) had suggested that India look at a joint development programme with Israeli firms to develop an Indian version of Iron Dome, which is touted as the most effective system against short-range missiles such as Fajr V rockets. The Indian scientists believe Israel's plight has several parallels to its threat from Kashmiri groupsas well as the vulnerability of its cities from terrorists.
The Iron Dome, according to reports, intercepted 87% of the rockets fired at Israel by the Hamas. The system, produced by Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and at work since 2011, is believed to have the capability to shoot down rockets and artillery shells with ranges of up to 70 km. The system has been shown to be effective against rockets or shells that might target populated areas.
In the Indian military establishment, the temptation for acquiring this new toy is explained by the fact that India is ringed by hostile neighbours. Pakistani terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) could well acquire similar capability that would threaten large groups of Indian population. Even otherwise, the strategic planners have for long been worried about the deadly effect of short-range rockets fired at Indian cities or from across the border.
Unlike ballistic missiles, against which DRDO claims to have a fairly good anti-ballistic missile shield, there is almost no protection against short-range rockets or artillery fire. DRDO is currently collaborating with Israeli firms to develop medium range surface to air missiles (MRSAMs) and LRSAMs. However, Iron Dome is in a different class all together, Israeli diplomatic sources here argue.
One of the reasons why some Indian defence planners is pushing for it is the possibility of another conflict with Pakistan, where a system like the Iron Dome might be useful to deter even conventional artillery attacks. In addition, Pakistan has developed a tactical nuclear weapon like the Nasr, which is a solid fuelled battlefield range ballistic missile. While Pakistani analysts say this was developed in anticipation of India's supposed Cold Start doctrine, some Indian sources say the Iron Dome might be an effective deterrent against this new weapon.
On the other hand, acquiring such defensive systems in anticipation of similar attacks might prove to be too much a temptation for groups like LeT. While they haven't yet developed rockets like the ones the Hamas has been using, the lure of such home-grown weaponry should not be under-estimated, say diplomatic sources.
According to sources, there have been some discussions between DRDO and their Israeli counterparts for a possible joint development of Iron Dome for India. "The Israeli team comes and works in our laboratories. Our team goes and works in their laboratories and industries. There is a learning that is taking place which was not there when we buy things and integrate with existing products… In directed energy weapons — we are focusing on fibre laser, high powered micro-waves, etc. We have also started discussions with Iron Dome for co-development (in India)," Dr W Selvamurthy, Chief Controller looking after international cooperation, told the Economic Times recently.
How it works:
* The system detects launches of rockets and quickly determines their flight path. If it is headed toward populated areas or sensitive targets, it fires an interceptor with a special warhead that strikes the incoming rocket within seconds. Rockets headed toward open areas area allowed to land.
* Currently, five Iron Dome batteries are deployed in Israel. Most are located in the south near Gaza. A fifth battery was deployed outside Tel Aviv on Saturday, two months ahead of schedule. Hours later, it shot down a rocket headed toward Tel Aviv.
*Missiles cost around $40,000 a piece. In 2010, the US provided $200 million to expand development. Additional funding is currently being considered, with $70 million already allocated for this fiscal year.
*The system is part of what Israel calls its "multilayer missile defense". It is meant to protect against the tens of thousands of short-range rockets possessed by militants in the Gaza Strip andHezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon. Israel has also deployed its " Arrow" missile defense systems for long-range threats from Iran. The military says its new "David's Sling" system, being developed by Rafael to stop medium-range missiles, will be activated by 2014.

I've been playing tennis for two years now and I'm in my senior year(just started school) I'm on varsity at my school and I teach little kids/some high schoolers at the Country Club in my town.
I've been having trouble lately with my match play. I think I've hit a wall. When I play doubles I do really well but when I play singles I usually lose every match. A friend says it's because I don't play enough matches another says I'm having a bad day. But I think I've hit a wall that I can't get over at the moment.
I want to take my Game to the next level so I can make it to state this year in doubles. I know I'm very far away from that goal as the player I am now. But I know that I have dependable strokes, a good 1st serve, a consistent 2nd serve, and some good volleys but when I get into a ranking match for my school I choke and loose to people I shouldn't be losing to.
I was just wondering is it more of a mental thing or do I just need to work harder?
Thanks for the Help in advance,

Parenting a Preteen or Teen
Being the parent or guardian of a preteen or teen is not as scary as it sounds! Most of the time they are struggling to be independent and to fit in at school, at home, and with friends. Keep in mind that helping your preteen or teen to become an adult takes time, patience, and a commitment. There is no such thing as an instant adult!
There are two things to remember: preteens and teens need lots of love. They need a caring adult to help shape their moral compass and give them support during these difficult transitional years.
- Tips for Parents and Guardians
- Setting Limits and Boundaries
- Communicating with Your Preteen or Teen
Tips for Parents and Guardians
- Let your child know that you love him or her no matter what. Preteens and teens need a trusting and loving relationship with a parent or other adult to feel safe and secure.
- Talk to your preteen or teen – listen to his or her ideas and opinions, and do things together.
- Get to know your child's friends and learn what they do in school; it helps you understand your preteen or teen even better.
- Show you care by chaperoning a trip.
- Join a parent group or support group where you and other parents can discuss parenting issues.
- Attend all parent-teacher conferences at school.
- Go to your child's athletic events and school musicals.
- Answer your child's questions about health risks.
- Teach your child to respect himself or herself and others.
- Challenge your preteen to discover his or her own incredible potential.
- Show your preteen or teen that you are proud of his or her accomplishments, both large and small.
Back to top
Setting Limits and Boundaries
- Establish limits and boundaries such as: curfews, study hours, behavior at parties, and expectations for special occasions.
- Define the consequences of unacceptable behavior – make sure your preteen or teen understands the consequences and then stick to them.
- Recognize that some limits are negotiable and others are not.
- Guide your preteen or teen toward choices that will keep him or her safe.
- While preteens and teens may fight with parents about some decisions, they usually realize that the limits placed on them are a sign of love, rather than control.
- Monitor your child's behavior – what he or she says and does, where he or she goes and with whom, and when to expect him or her home.
- Redefine your limits of control over your child's life as he or she starts to think and act more mature. Otherwise you risk some major problems in your relationship.
- Monitor your own behavior – what you say, what you do, and what you believe. Your behavior will make a huge difference in the choices your preteen or teen makes.
Back to top
Communicating with Your Preteen or Teen
- Be honest and open with your preteen or teen when talking about your values, beliefs, and ideas. It may be wise to just say, "Here is what I think about...," – briefly explain your views, and then drop the subject.
- Help your preteen or teen to make responsible choices by talking about their options.
- Tell your preteen or teen if you are disappointed or upset with his or her behavior.
- Praise, hug, encourage, and say, "I love you."
- Express your expectations for his or her goals and accomplishments.
- Recognize that your child's life may be very different from your own adolescence.
- Your preteen or teen deserves guidance, high but realistic expectations for achievement, and a fair balance between rules and freedom.

Do you talk Texan?
Say these sentences: "I pulled open a drawer to find a banana. Then, I peeled it."
Did your "pull" have an "oooh sound, as in pool? Did your "peel" come out more like pill?
Probably not.
Most Texans no longer sound like stereotypical Texans, according to language researchers at the University of Texas at Austin. The twang, they say, is fading.
"What's so striking is that 30 years ago, about 80 percent of all speakers had clear Texas accents," said Lars Hinrichs, an assistant professor of English and director of the Texas English Project.
"Nowadays, the recordings my students bring back of people who grew up in Texas hardly ever have a strong Texas accent."
The reasons are predictable — immigration, urbanization, gentrification — and the shift is most noticeable in people who live in a city, or are younger than 25. Today, people who live in Texas cities sound more like accent-neutral Midwesterners.
But Hinrichs and other researchers said they discovered something surprising when they began studying Texans' use of their native tongue.
We haven't abandoned the y'alls and drawls, we just use them when the time is right.
So, when a city-dwelling saleswoman is working in East Texas, she'll often slip into the hyper-polite "thank you kindly" mode. Or when a Texas-born man is speaking to an elderly woman, he'll default to the respectful "yes, ma'am."
"It builds rapport, it's quaint, it's friendly," said Hinrichs. "When you hear someone talking with a Texas twang, you feel like you're talking to a good person."
Think of it like a faded and oh-so-comfortable denim shirt.
You wouldn't wear it to a job interview, any more than you'd greet your prospective bosses with a hearty "howdy do."
But at a barbecue and beer joint on a lazy Saturday afternoon, an untucked denim shirt feels just right.
Always changing
None of this is unique to Texas.
Language is ever-evolving, shaped by the creeping and receding tides of regional dialects.
Consider what happened to the use of the letter "r" in New York in the 1960s.
European immigrants flooded into the city after World War II and eventually washed over the middle class. They brought with them a British sense of social hierarchy and an accent.
So, when they moved up to a new apartment, they'd say "It's on the fawth floawh (fourth floor)" — an r-less accent that persists today.
Similar trends can be heard in accents around the country.
Think Boston: "The cah (car) is in the pahking laht (parking lot)."
Or the Appalachians: "We grow taters (potatoes), maters (tomatoes) and baker (tobacco) on our farm."
Or Minnesota: "Oh yah (yeah), I went to werk (work) and bought a pop, dontchaknow (don't you know)."
Regional accents are mainly identified by word choice, phrases and pronunciation.
In Texas, colloquialisms such as polecat (for skunk) and mosquito hawk (for dragonfly) have already fallen out of favor, while others such us "might could" and "fixin' to" are in the twilight of their usage.
A part of us
Bob Tallman makes his living with his booming baritone and no-nonsense Cowboy persona as an announcer for the Mesquite Championship Rodeo. To him, it is heresy to think of Texas without its twang.
"I'm a big believer that you should take pride in who you are, what you do, what you look like and what you sound like," the 65-year-old said.
"I don't care if you're Democrat or Republican or independent. Whatever you are, be a goodun."
Tallman said that means if you live in Texas, you should sound like a Texan, or learn how right quick.
"And if you don't like it," he said, "move back to California."
Researchers say Tallman's loyalty to his local language isn't unusual.
"People always use their language as a touchstone of their identity," said graduate student Kate Shaw Points, whose research focuses on Texas-born Latinos in east Austin.
"They want to say something and have part of who they are in what they're saying."
She said that's especially true for young Latino women, who may be straddling an identity that is Mexican-American and traditional Texan, all while embracing a hip form of slang common in California.
Linguists call it style shifting.
"Young women tend to drive these changes because they are said to be more attuned to prestige in language than men," Points said. "So women will hear something and think it sounds prestigious or cool, and then they'll imitate it. That's how it spreads throughout the population."
The best example of this is the Valley Girl phenomenon of the 1980s, in which young girls introduced "gnarly," "totally" and the ever-present "like" into the American lexicon.
Points said her research reveals that young Latino women are on the leading edge of language change in the Lone Star State, in some cases folding Spanish-accented English into a Tejano drawl.
Adapting accents
Diana Aguirre, who grew up in the West Texas town of Fort Stockton, said she finds herself modifying her Spanish more often than English.
"I was told when I came here to go to school at SMU that I had an accent when I speak Spanish," said Aguirre, a vice president of Big Brothers Big Sisters in Dallas. "But now I'm so aware of it that I catch myself changing my accent depending on what group of people I'm with."
Hinrichs, the UT linguist, said that trend — of adapting language and accents to fit your needs — is the future of how Texans will talk.
"Modernization is happening pretty rapidly," he said. "The traditional Texas dialect is going to stay around for the midterm, but probably not for the long term."
But that doesn't mean Texans will stop sounding like Texans.
Fifty years ago, if you walked down the streets of Dallas, nearly everyone you met would have spoken with a twang. Today, not so much.
Fifty years from now, Hinrichs said, Texans will still sound distinctive — different from people on the East or West Coast — and different from what we sound like today.
"Young people are leading this change," said Hinrichs. "It will be something very few people will think sounds Texan today, but in two generations it might sound just right."

Demi Lovato is dating Joe Jonas, the "Sonny with a Chance" star confirmed to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush on "The Billy Bush Show."
"He's actually my best friend," Demi began, when questioned by Billy about her status with the middle JoBro.
"So you went from boyfriend-girlfriend to best friends?" Billy asked.
"Um, no, kind of the opposite!" Demi laughed. "Yeah, he's my best friend and he's incredible."
Asked what her fellow Disney star does to make her feel special, Demi gushed about their relationship
"He's a complete gentleman, he takes me to the most amazing places… he's perfect!" she said.
But the biggest question of all – what does she think of his recent bespectacled look?
"I think it's adorable and it totally suits him," Demi said.
Joe, who co-starred with Demi in the Disney Channel movie "Camp Rock," previously dated Taylor Swift and Camila Bell. Fellow Disney star and Demi BFF Selena Gomez was also once linked to a JoBro — youngest brother Nick, who also dated Miley Cyrus.
Demi's latest season of "Sonny with a Chance" premieres on March 14 at 8 PM on the Disney Channel.

Soft-Liss necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 96 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
Soft-Liss Professional Line is a 2 year old brand of Brazilian Keratin. Brazilian Keratin is a product used to straighten hair, and in most cases contains chemicals such as formaldehyde. Our product how ever is 100% natural and does not contain any chemicals we are 1 of only 2 companies in the world offering a 100% chemical free product. Since our product is 100% chemical free the keratin is also free to restore the hair and not just straighten like our competitors do. Feel free to read more about us at http://www.softliss.com or by goggling "softliss"
Our product is targeted at people with long hair in general but the end user is not the target audience per say, because our product is a professional line and therefore aimed at salons. So the idea is to entice the customer to purchase the product and take it to their salon or get the salon to buy it.
Maximum area of H = 7.75" W = 9.80". Design doesn't have to use entire area. Maximum of 3 different specific colors can be used. Bottles must contain information detailed on attached label files, including list of ingredients attached as PDF files with the different product names. Current design is a label that is applied to the bottles. New design that is requested will be silkscreen printed onto the bottles. Logo needs to be on bottles and you are free to decide what color to put it as. Design must incorporate color of liquid content (attached photos showing content color) that will show trough areas not covered by design, so design needs to have a transparent background. Products are sold as kits and come in 4 different fragrances the Step1 is always the same for every kit. Kits are composed of one bottle of 32oz of Step1 (generic), one bottle of 32oz of Step2 (chocolate, morango, algas, neutro), and one bottle of 32oz of Step3 (chocolate, morango, algas, neutro). We currently call one of the fragrances light but will switching its name on new bottles to neutro/neutral. The final 3 bottles is a new kit that uses the same 3 steps but is to be designed separately as a higher end line called "Golden Keratin" it needs to look expensive having distinctive Step1, 2 and 3 then the other 11 bottles. Aside from the treatment kits we have a Shampoo & Conditioner for maintenance.

Out of IPv4 Addresses
Out of IPv4 Addresses
On Feb. 3, 2011, the central pool of available IPv4 addresses managed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) was depleted when each Regional Internet Registry (RIR) received its last IPv4 addresses. The five RIRs (AfriNIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC and the RIPE NCC) will continue to allocate IPv4 address space to their members in accordance with their community-based regional policies until their pools of available IPv4 addresses are depleted. It is difficult to predict when the RIRs will run out of IPv4 addresses.
What's IPv4? IPv4 stands for Internet Protocol version 4. It is the underlying technology that makes it possible for users to connect their devices to the Web. When a device accesses the Internet (whether it's a PC, Mac, smartphone or other device), it's assigned a unique, numerical IP address. To send data from one computer to another, a data packet must be transferred across the network containing the IP addresses of both devices. Without IP addresses, computers would not be able to communicate and send data to each other.
IPv6 is the sixth revision and the successor to IPv4. It functions similarly to IPv4 in that it provides the unique, numerical IP addresses necessary for Internet-enabled devices to communicate. However, it does sport one major difference: It utilizes 128-bit addresses.
Why Move to Ipv6
The key difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is that IPv6 has significantly more address space. While the addresses look different, users won't be aware of any difference. A typical IPv6 address has eight groups of four letters and numbers separated by colons, so it looks like this: 2001:db8:1f70:999:de8:7648:6e8. The expanded addressing capacity of IPv6 will enable the trillions of new Internet addresses needed to support connectivity for a huge range of smart devices, including phones, household appliances and vehicles. IPv6 also offers enhanced quality of service, which is needed for new applications such as IP telephony, video/audio, interactive games or e-commerce.
The deployment of IPv6 is imperative to the long-term growth, security and stability of the Internet.
According to the results from a survey measuring Ipv6 deployment, more than 70 percent of the 1,600 respondents worldwide—half of which were Internet Service Providers (ISPs)—said they plan to deploy IPv6 on their networks by the end of 2012.
Slow Down
Without IPv6, the lack of Internet addresses would mean that eventually, users' favorite Web programs would slow down.
Difficult Communications
A lack of Internet addresses also would mean that eventually, computers would have a harder time communicating with each other, making the ability to offer services like Skype difficult.
Privacy Compromised
Privacy also would be an issue without more Internet addresses. Eventually, users' privacy would be compromised, because with all the dividing of addresses, it would be hard to tell the difference between one user and another computer user down the street.
The cost and complexity associated with keeping track of and managing remaining IPv4 address space efficiently would increase. For network operators and other entities that rely on Internet numbering allocations, it would become increasingly difficult and expensive (and eventually prohibitively so) to obtain new IPv4 address space to grow their networks.
The transition to IPv6 will require an industry-wide collaboration of ISPs, Web companies, hardware makers and OS vendors. They all need to ensure products and services are ready for the transition. ISPs need to make IPv6 connectivity available to their users, Web companies need to offer their sites and applications over IPv6, and OS vendors may need to implement specific software updates. In addition, backbone providers may need to establish IPv6 peering with each other. Hardware and home gateway manufacturers may need to update firmware.
Cutover Date
There is no specific date when everything needs to be upgraded to IPv6 (although some organizations, including governments, have already identified target dates for their own IPv6 implementation). IPv6 and its transition mechanisms have been designed for a long period of co-existence with IPv4, and IPv4-only systems and applications are expected to survive for many years. However, IPv6-only systems will eventually hit the market, and many users are likely to be in emerging business markets and developing countries.
Running Out of IPv6 Addresses
There's no real danger of running out of IPv6 addresses. An enormous amount of IP address space exists under IPv6, and this addressing capacity will enable the trillions of new Internet addresses needed to support connectivity for the growing numbers of smart devices.
Core Specifications
The core IPv6 specifications increasingly are becoming available as a standard part of product and service offerings. However, not all products are fully IPv6-capable right now, and some significant upgrade gaps remain, especially in low-end consumer equipment. Similarly, while many software applications and operating systems (especially in open-source code) have already been updated for IPv6, not all products (including some from major vendors) are fully IPv6-ready.
IPv6 Traffic
IPv6 traffic today remains small in comparison to IPv4. As more network operators deploy IPv6 and continue to exchange information about experience and best practices through established operators groups, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and other forums, the level of community knowledge will grow.

French for "slice." In Bordeaux this term is applied to a portion of a vintage that buyers are permitted to bid on. This system, which permits only those who have bought wine from a chateaux previously to tender a bid for the Premier Tranche, or base bid, makes purchase difficult if not impossible for newcomers and contributes heavily to the importance of longterm relationships in the French wine trade.

Freshman Wade Miller, senior Ritter, junior Peter Gunderman, and Head Coach Jason Hutchison have been recognized by the North Coast Athletic Conference coaches for their achievements during the 2010-2011 tennis season. Miller, Ritter, and Gunderman were named to the 2011 All-NCAC Tennis Team, while Hutchison garnered Men's Coach of the Year honors for second consecutive season and third time in his career.
Miller (left), a North Montgomery High School (Crawfordsville, IN) graduate, was a First Team All-NCAC selection by the coach. He compiled a 23-10 record playing in the second, third, and fourth singles flights in his opening season at Wabash, the second-highest single season win total in Wabash history. Miller was 15-3 at number four singles and posted a 2-1 record in singles play against NCAC opponents during the regular season.
Ritter (right) earned Honorable Mention All-NCAC honors in his final season at Wabash. A graduate of New Palestine High School, he was 21-10 overall this season in number three, four and five singles play. Ritter finished with 46 career victories. He was 2-1 this season against NCAC opponents during the regular season.
Ritter and Gunderman combined to earn a spot on the Second Team All-NCAC doubles squad. Gunderman (left), a Zionsville High School graduate, joined Ritter to post an overall mark of 21-9 at number two doubles this year. They were 2-1 in conference play and won six of their final ten matches this year. Their 21 doubles victories ties for fifth on the Wabash single season list.
Hutchison guided the Wabash team to a school record 18 wins, eclipsing the mark of 17 set last season when the seven-year veteran coach also earned NCAC Coach of the Year honors. His efforts have guided a resurgence in the tennis program at Wabash, giving the Little Giants a record of 86-99 since taking over the team as head coach including a mark of 35-21 over the past two seasons. Hutchison is 86-99 in his career at Wabash.
