The practicing of Martial arts all over the world is very common these days.
Anytime individuals decide to learn how to protect themselves, learn self-defense, or become a better person, one thing comes to mind – martial arts.
The Background of Martial Arts
The martial arts have been used for many centuries, although they really became famous around the time of Bruce Lee.
Bruce invented the style of Jeet Kune Do, which involves very fast strikes with amazing counter defenses.
Once people began to see just how fast Bruce Lee could move, they began to look into martial arts and see just how it could benefit them.
Different Styles of Martial Arts
Martial arts are broken down into specific styles. The style all depends on where and what you study. A lot of cultures and countries offer martial arts that they originated, developed, and perfected.
- Brazil offers Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
- Japan has Karate
- Thailand has Muay Thai
- France has Savate and
- China has Shaolin.
Keep in mind that each style will vary in techniques and what it has to offer you.
Although many people feel of mixed martial arts as being just for self-defense purposes, this is not always the case. Martial arts are used in tournaments and competitions also, which can include sparring, floor routines, and even block and brick breaking demonstrations. All across the world, there are competitions and chances for fighters to show themselves and their knowledge.
Teachings at Martial Arts
In general, all martial arts will teach you how to defend yourself and above all else – help you develop self-control. Once you begin to study a martial art, you will quickly start to build up a better mental state. Despite what style of martial art you study, the instructors will drill self-control into your head.
Advantages of Martial Arts
Those of you who have a bad temper or just need to learn self-control, martial arts can be very advantageous to study. Not only will you learn self-control, you will also learn how to protect yourself in the most drastic of situations. Self-control is very important, as martial arts can be very deadly if they are taught to the wrong person – with the wrong intentions.
Martial Arts – Competitions
Over the last decade, there have been many mainstream competitions that display martial arts, such as Extreme Fighting, King of the cage, and the most popular of all, the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship). The UFC has come a long way over the years, sparking interest from all over the world. It pairs stylists from all over the world together, to test their skills and see who the better fighter is.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)
With the UFC, many people have gotten the wrong idea about martial arts. A martial art is great to learn, although if it works in the UFC, it does not always mean that it will protect you out on the streets. The example is Karate that contains teaching blocking and striking, with little to no emphasis on grappling techniques. If you get in close, Karate really does not help. With some distance however, Karate can be very devastating.
No matter how you look at it, martial arts can be great to learn if you learn it for the right reasons. Each style will vary in technique and what it has to offer you, which is why, you should pick the best style for your needs and hope to accomplish. Martial arts can teach you a lot about self-defense and yourself – all you have to do is try it.

LOS ANGELES - Longtime USC favorite son Pat Haden will replace Mike Garrett as athletic director, beginning Aug. 3.
The official announcement is expected to come later Tuesday from the school's president-elect, Max Nikias, who will take over the position from retiring Steven Sample. That transition will also occur Aug. 3.
Garrett, the school's former Heisman Trophy-winning running back who has been USC's athletic director for the last 17 years, is expected to take the school's retirement package.
Garrett came under fire recently when USC was put on four years probation by the NCAA for a series of violations.

The Dagger
Washington and Texas will play 2015 regular season game in China
Sam Cooper at The Dagger33 mins agoWashington and Texas will square off in the first ever American regular season game, professional or collegiate, played in China, the Pac-12 conference announced Saturday. The game will be played on Nov. 13, 2015 (Nov. 13 in the U.S.) and will be televised live on ESPN.
According to a press release from the conference, the game in China is part of the Pac-12's effort to showcase itself on a global level. The Pac-12's "Globalization Initiative" launched in 2011 and has featured trips to China for exhibitions and clinics by several Pac-12 basketball teams and an all-star women's volleyball team.
"The Pac-12 and our universities are proud to be pioneers in China" said commissioner Larry Scott. "The event is a great step forward for our initiative designed to use sport and cultural exchange to support the international strategies that many of our universities have embarked on to extend their reach into China and promote good will between our two countries."
Florida pulls away from Tennessee late following questionable technical foul call
Sam Cooper at The Dagger2 hrs agoFlorida found itself in an unfamiliar position after one half of play against Tennessee.
The Volunteers were shooting the lights out (14-of-26, 53.8 percent) and jumped out to a surprising 35-28 halftime lead over the nation's No. 1 team. Much like Friday's quarterfinal win over Missouri, the Gators turned things around in the second half to win the game 56-49.
The Vols provided quite a bit more resistance than the Tigers though. It only took 5:11 of second half play for Florida to overcome the seven-point halftime deficit to take its first lead since it was 9-7.
The rest of the game was a grind.

Ticket Punched: Tulsa earns first NCAA bid since 2003 by defeating Louisiana Tech
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger3 hrs agoAt the height of Tulsa's success in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Golden Hurricane were a mid-major to be feared.
They made the NCAA tournament eight times in 10 years, won at least one tournament game all but one of those seasons and reached the Elite Eight under Bill Self in 2000.
It may be a little while before Tulsa inspires the fear and respect from opponents that it did back then, but Danny Manning has the Golden Hurricane back on the upswing again. They culminated a breakthrough season Saturday afternoon by outlasting Louisiana Tech 69-60 in the Conference USA title game to earn their first trip to the NCAA tournament since 2003.
[Get a chance at $1 billion: Register to play the Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge now!]
Tulsa's win caps a late-season surge that elevated the Golden Hurricane from a mid-tier Conference USA team to the top of the league. They won nine straight to secure a share of the league title before dispatching of Tulane, Middle Tennessee and Louisiana Tech to secure the automatic bid.
Ticket Punched: Albany upsets top two seeds in America East to earn return trip
Kyle Ringo at The Dagger3 hrs agoAlbany will make a surprise return trip to the NCAA tournament after upsetting the top two seeds in the America East Conference tournament to steal an automatic berth.
The Great Danes, who lost in the NCAA tournament last year to Duke, defeated No. 2 seed Stony Brook 69-60 on Saturday to earn the program's fourth NCAA tournament bid. They will be looking to pull off an unlikely upset, probably as a No. 16 seed, to earn their first NCAA tournament win next week.
[Get a chance at $1 billion: Register to play the Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge now!]
Forward Sam Rowley led the Great Danes with 18 points before fouling out with more than 7 minutes remaining. Teammate Peter Hooley scored 15, including a big 3-pointer in the final 70 seconds to give the Great Danes a five-point cushion. Albany was the fourth seed in the tournament.
At one point during the game, the mascots from the two schools appeared to get into a minor scuffle on the baseline and needed to be separated. Check it out.

Four teams you should want to see in your team's section of the bracket
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger4 hrs agoWhen CBS unveils the NCAA tournament bracket on Sunday, every coach will respond by describing his team's opening-round opponent as though they were 1996 Kentucky or 1976 Indiana.
Don't believe them if they draw one of the teams below.
A look at four struggling or injury-riddled teams that are limping into the NCAA tournament and should be favorable draws for whoever gets them.
After crumbling at San Diego State, New Mexico eager for high-stakes rematch
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger15 hrs agoLAS VEGAS --- Hugh Greenwood had just finished explaining why New Mexico had been hoping to get a third crack at San Diego State all week when his coach interjected.
"Hugh that was really good," Craig Neal told his junior guard. "You've just got to be careful about being real honest about things."
Yes, now that New Mexico has defeated Boise State 73-70 in the Mountain West semifinals, it's OK for the Lobos to admit the obvious. As much as they tried to keep their focus on Fresno State and Boise State this week, they're thrilled to get the chance to redeem themselves for blowing a 16-point lead with 11 minutes to go last Saturday at Viejas Arena with the regular season league title at stake.
"It's been in the back of our minds since that game," Greenwood said. "We've always taken it one step at a time, one game at a time. We took care of Fresno, took care of Boise. Now we want a rematch. The city of Albuquerque wants a rematch. We're definitely looking forward to the challenge."
Cox Cable inexplicably switches Omaha customers to Pac-12 during Creighton game
Kyle Ringo at The Dagger16 hrs agoCreighton fans in Omaha were able to watch most of the Bluejays' Big East tournament semifinal win over Xavier on Friday until Cox Cable and Fox Sports 1 switched over to coverage of UCLA-Stanford semifinal in the Pac-12 Conference.
[Get a chance at $1 billion: Register to play the Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge now!]
Obviously this didn't go over well among Bluejays fans with the Creighton game still in doubt when the change was made and they shared their frustrations on Twitter. Here are a few examples.
@bubbaprog Did Fox Sports 1 just switch everyone to the Pac 12 semifinal? We just had it happen in Omaha, where Creighton is.
@CoxHelp hey you probably already know this, but you need to wake someone up in Omaha and put the Big East tourney game back on FS1!!!
Omaha market FS1 feed switched over from Creighton game to Pac-12 game? Say what?
UConn and Shabazz Napier get the best of Cincinnati and Sean Kilpatrick
Kyle Ringo at The Dagger17 hrs agoCincinnati guard Sean Kilpatrick said this week he thought he should have won the American Athletic Conference Player of the Year Award that went to Connecticut guard Shabazz Napier.
After winning a quarterfinal game in the conference tournament Thursday, Napier took issue with the notion.
"He cares so much about that MVP," Napier said. "I don't care about that. Those guys believe he won it? He can have it."
It was appropriate then that Friday night's semifinal between the top-seeded Bearcats and the fourth-seeded Huskies came down to Napier and Kilpatrick being heavily involved in the outcome with Napier ultimately prevailing again 58-56 when Kilpatrick's tying layup attempt rolled off the rim in the final seconds.

Doug McDermott keeps making history as Creighton advances to Big East final vs. Providence
Christopher Wilson at The Dagger18 hrs agoNEW YORK — "Weather the storm!"
A particularly loud member of Xavier's very vocal pep band shouted the above phrase early in the first half of the Musketeers' Big East semifinal against Creighton. The weather he was referring to was the barrage of Bluejay threes raining down upon his team. Unfortunately for Xavier and their fans, the storm lasted for the better part of two hours as the Musketeers fell 86-78.
It was another night of history making for Doug McDermott - who moved past Keydren Clark and Harry Kelly to fifth on the all-time scoring list – but he was just the biggest part of a multi-pronged attack that shot 55% from the field, made 21-of-24 free throws, knocked down 11 threes and assisted on 18 of 27 made field goals. McDermott now has 3,078 career points after his 32 on Friday night, sitting 89 points behind Alphonso Ford's fourth-place mark. McDermott's 67 points in his first two Big East Tournament games also broke Allen Iverson's old record of 58.

Late-season funk continues for Syracuse losing to NC State in ACC tournament
Kyle Ringo at The Dagger19 hrs agoSyracuse was undeniably the nation's best team a month ago, but what a difference the past month has made.
The Orange escaped with a one-point victory over North Carolina State on Feb. 15 to remain unbeaten. One day short of one month later, the seventh-seeded Wolfpack wasn't about to allow that to happen again Friday. They held on to beat No. 2 seed Syracuse 66-63 in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament.
The game ended with an amazing sequence in which Syracuse managed to get off six shots thanks to five offensive rebounds. None of them went in and NC State advanced to the semifinals with an improved NCAA tournament resume and hope still alive of wrecking dreams of other teams by stealing the league's automatic bid.
ACC Player of the Year T.J. Warren led the Wolfpack with 28 points and eight rebounds.

I agree that incentives need to be offered to attract businesses to Genoa City. It is off the beaten path which is probably why a fast food restaurant has not been located there. Unless it would be put near the BP station, no one would no it was there. On the other hand, in Richmond, Taco Bell, McDonalds and Subway all have prime locations right on Hwy 12. A business like that needs the traffic to make sense to put one there. I think the Mayor of Genoa City should contact the Walker Administration to see if something can be worked out with the DOT or contact Walgreens and make a persuasive argument. Stop blaming Walker for business not coming to Genoa City. He has done more to help the business climate in this state in the last year than Doyle did for his entire term. Taxing businesses to the breaking point will only make them move. Why do you think so many businesses are choosing to leave Illinois now? They raised taxes not only on businesses this year but also on individuals. Has it helped them. NO! Genoa City needs to clean itself up and look more inviting as it looks like a town hurting. Appearance is everything in today's world. It may sound shallow but unfortunately it is the truth. Pell Lake Resident |

NMR imaging said material with increasing interpulse times to determine the smallest interpulse time for which a diffusion coefficient becomes independent of time, determining a bulk diffusion coefficient, and functionally combining said smallest interpulse time, and said bulk diffusion and diffusion coefficients to provide a spatial image of said permeability. Description This invention relates to NMR imaging and more particularly relates to NMR imaging of samples of materials to determine transport properties of such samples. The oil industry makes extensive use of various transport properties of earth formations to determine the amount of hydrocarbon reserves and the producibility of these reserves. Among these transport properties of earth formations are diffusion coefficients, electrical resistivity factors and permeability to fluid flow. These properties relate to Fick's law concentration transport, electric current transport, and hydraulic fluid transport, respectively, through porous and permeable earth formations, or representative samples thereof. The oil industry makes extensive use of electrical resistivity well logging for open hole evaluation of the oil saturation in earth formations. In the interpretation of electrical resistivity well logs, the major unknown quantity is often the formation resistivity factor, F. The formation resistivity factor measures the influence of pore structure on the resistance of the sample. F is defined via Archie's relation: C.sub.o =S.sub.w.sup.n (1/F)C.sub.w ( 1) where: C.sub.o is the conductivity of the formation, S.sub.w is the brine saturation, n is the saturation exponent, F is the formation resistivity factor, and C.sub.w is the brine conductivity. When the oil saturation is zero, this equation reduces to: C.sub.o =(1/F)C.sub.w ( 2) The electrical resistivity well log measures the formation conductivity, C.sub.o. The brine conductivity C.sub.w is often known from produced brine or can be estimated from other logs such as the spontaneous potential log. The saturation exponent n is approximately equal to 2. Thus, a major unknown quantity needed for accurate well log evaluation is the formation resistivity factor, F. Once F is known, the brine saturation, S.sub.w, and the hydrocarbon saturation, S.sub.o =1-S.sub.w, can then be determined from the electrical resistivity well logs. The basic equations above are often modified to reflect the presence of clay minerals inside the pore space of the earth formation, as is well known in the art. For example, the Waxman-Smits equation for water-saturated shaly sands is C.sub.o =(1/F)(C.sub.w +BQ.sub.v), where B is the equivalent conductivity of the clay exchange counterions and Q.sub.v the cation exchange capacity of the clay minerals. Similarly, for oil bearing shaly sands the Waxman-Smits equation is: C.sub.o =S.sub.w.sup.n /F[C.sub.w +(BQ.sub.v /S.sub.w)]. In order to determine the formation resistivity factor, earth material is cored from the well of interest and then analyzed in a laboratory. The laboratory procedure for measuring formation resistivity factor is to first drill small core plugs from the core sample. The core plugs are then cleaned of all oil and brine in extraction vessels, such as Dean-Stark extractors, which are well known in the art. The core plugs are then saturated with a plurality of brines of known conductivities, and the resistivity of the core plugs are measured while saturated with each brine. For core samples that contain clay minerals, long periods of time are required for the core sample to equilibrate with the injected brines. Since this is a slow and laborious procedure, the formation resistivity factor is usually measured only for a relatively few core plugs representing the entire cored interval, which may be several hundred feet. Clearly this leads to large statistical uncertainties due to the small number of samples. In addition, this method does not display the spatial variations of the formation resistivity factor within, or along, the core. The oil industry is of course also interested in determining the hydraulic permeability of a core sample, which is a measure of its ability to sustain fluid flow under an applied pressure gradient. The permeability is defined from Darcy's law: ##EQU1## where Q is the fluid flow in cm.sup.3 /sec, K is the permeability in Darcy's, A is the cross-sectional area in square cm.sup.2, ΔP/ΔL is the pressure gradient in atmospheres across a length ΔL in cm, and μ is the viscosity in centipoise. The permeability K is measured in the laboratory on core plugs by confining the plugs in a sleeve, applying a known pressure gradient, and measuring the flow rate. Again, as in laboratory measurements of formation resistivity factor, the procedure is laborious, time-consuming, expensive, and suffers from small numbers of samples. These and other limitations and disadvantages of the prior art are overcome by the present invention, however, and an improved method for determining transport characteristics of porous samples with NMR imaging is provided. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, new NMR imaging techniques are employed to determine transport characteristics of a porous sample. More specifically, two NMR images of the same section of the porous sample may be obtained to determine transport properties in that section. One such image, denoted I, is preferably obtained with the nuclear spins allowed to dephase for a first preselected time τ with zero applied field gradient. The second image, denoted I", is preferably obtained under identical conditions except that the nuclear spins are allowed to dephase for the first preselected time τ with an applied field gradient, G'. These two images are saved on any appropriate storage media, such as magnetic tape, or disk. The diffusion coefficient D' in the porous medium may then be computed from the ratio of the logarithms of these two images, using appropriate computational means, such as a minicomputer, as follows: D'=(3/2)γ.sup.-2 G'.sup.-2 τ.sup.-3 ln(I/I"), (3) where γ is the gyromagnetic ratio of the nucleus being imaged, G' is the applied field gradient used during the second image, and τ is the interpulse time during which the spins are allowed to dephase with and without the field gradient. The above computation is performed on a pixel-by-pixel basis for the image. That is, if the image array contains mXn elements or pixels, the mathematical operations are performed on the two intensity values (I and I") for each pixel location in the image array. This gives an mXn array of values of the diffusion coefficient D' of the porous medium. The formation resistivity factor may then be computed from: F=(D.sub.o /D') (4) where D.sub.o is the bulk-diffusion coefficient of the nuclei being imaged in the fluid saturating the porous media. For protons in water, D.sub.o is 2.3.times.10.sup.-5 cm.sup.2 /sec at 25 formation resistivity factor from diffusional flow is based on the formal analogy between diffusion and electrical conductivity in porous media. (See Klinkenberg, L. J. "Analogy between diffusion and electrical conductivity in porous rocks", Bull. Geol. Soc. of America, June 1961, Vol. 62, pp. 559-564.) This computation may also be performed for each image pixel to obtain an image of formation resistivity factors. The hydraulic permeability may be estimated from the mean pore size of the sample by measuring the restricted diffusion coefficient caused by pore wall restrictions. Either formation resistivity factors or permeabilities may be obtained by using variable interpulse times τ until the diffusion coefficent becomes independent of τ. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for determining the diffusion coefficient, formation resistivity factor, and permeability of a core or other porous materials employing NMR imaging techniques. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a method for determining the spatial variation of diffusion coefficient, formation resistivity factor, and permeability of a core or other porous materials. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a method for determining the anisotropy of diffusion coefficient, formation resistivity factor, and permeability of a core or other porous materials. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method for nondestructively measuring transport properties of a core sample, or other porous and permeable materials. Accordingly, these and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, wherein reference is made to the Figures in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 depicts an NMR imaging device that may be employed to practice the method of the invention. FIG. 2 depicts an orthogonal coordinate system in the NMR rotating frame. FIG. 3 depicts the radio frequency pulse sequences, field gradient sequences, and detected NMR intensities employed in a preferred method of the present invention. FIG. 4 depicts an alternative field gradient sequence utilizing short pulse gradients. FIG. 5 plots the decrease in diffusion constant versus interpulse delay time for a brine-saturated Berea sandstone. Referring now to FIG. 1 there may be seen a simplified functional drawing of an NMR imaging apparatus suitable for practicing the methods of the present invention. In particular, FIG. 1 shows a specimen (2) inside radio frequency coil (3) which is connected to radio frequency circuitry (4). An essentially constant magnetic field H.sub.o is produced by poles (5) and (6) of a magnet, which may be a permanent magnet, an electromagnet, or a superconducting magnet. The main magnet field H.sub.o is preferably between 0.1-4.0 Tesla although both higher and lower field strengths may be successfully employed. However, the method is often best practiced at lower field strengths to reduce local field inhomogenity because the spin-spin relaxation time T.sub.2 decreases as the field is increased. Gradient field coils (7), (8), (9) for x, y, and z directions, respectively, which are controlled by gradient controller (10), may be employed to produce an additional magnetic field H.sub.1, which may be a spatially dependent linear gradient, appropriately oriented along the x, y, or z direction. The gradient controller (10) changes the gradient field electronically by varying the current to the gradient field coils, or it may alternatively control a stepper motor (11) to mechanically rotate the gradient field coils. System controller (12) controls the radio frequency circuitry (4) and gradient controller (10). System controller (12) also receives data on the position of specimen (2) through position sensor (13) and controls the position of the specimen (2) with position controller (14). System controller (12) also interfaces with data processing and recording means (15). Data processing and recording means (15) receives data from the radio frequency circuitry (4) and position sensor (13). Control console (16), CRT display (17), and data storage means (18) also interface with the data processing and recording means (15). Such NMR imaging apparatus are well known in the art and is depicted for explanatory purposes. NMR imaging wss first proposed by P. C. Lauterbur in Nature, Vol. 242, Mar. 16, 1973, pp. 190-191. In NMR imaging, a linear magnetic field gradient is applied to a sample so that the resonant frequencies of nuclear spins depend on the spatial location of those spins. The Fourier transform of the detected NMR spectrum represents the projection of the nuclear spin density M.sub.o perpendicular to the direction of the applied field gradient. A two- or three-dimensional image is constructed from a number of these projections at different angles. In addition to nuclear spin density M.sub.o, NMR imaging can also image various spin relaxation times, such as T.sub.1, the spin-lattice relaxation time, and T.sub.2, the spin-spin relaxation time. In addition, NMR imaging can image chemical shift spectra. A comprehensive review of NMR imaging can be found in the book, NMR Imaging In Biomedicine, by P. Mansfield and P. B. Morris, Academic Press, 1982. However, NMR imaging has not been used to determine diffusion coefficients, formation resistivity factors, or permeability of porous materials. The methods of the present invention modify conventional NMR imaging methods so that these transport properties can be imaged on porous samples in a rapid, continuous and nondestructive manner. Practice of the methods of the present invention involves placing a specimen (2) in coil (3) and imaging a slice, plane, or volume of specimen (2). Referring now to FIG. 2, there is defined a coordinate system OX, OY, OZ in the frame rotating with angular velocity ω=γH.sub.o, where O is the origin at the center of the coil and the Z axis is along the main magnetic field H.sub.o, and γ is the gyromagnetic ratio of the nuclear spin. For a proton, γ is 4.26 MHz/kilogauss. At thermal equilibrium the nuclear spin magnetization M.sub.o is directed along H.sub.o. FIG. 3 shows the preferred embodiment of the radiofrequency pulse sequence, magnetic field gradients, and detected NMR signals. Typical gradient field strengths of 1-10 gauss/cm may be used. In FIG. 3, a 90 degree radio frequency pulse (20) is applied at an initial time, i.e. t=0, directed along an axis OY. This is followed by a series of refocusing 180 degree pulses directed along the axis OX, the first (21) at a first preselected time, t=τ, the second (22) at a second preselected time determined in functional relationship with the first time, t=3τ. During the first part of the measurement sequence, the magnetic field gradient is off until a third preselected time determined in functional relationship with the first time, t=2τ. The imaging magnetic field gradient G (23) is switched on at this third preselected time t=2τ and remains on during the imaging. The detected NMR intensity from this spin-echo pulse sequence consists of a signal at t=0 with intensity M.sub.o (24), a signal I.sub.o at the third preselected time t=2τ (25) of intensity: I.sub.o =M.sub.o exp (-2τ/T.sub.2) (5) and a signal I at a fourth preselected time determined in functional relationship with the first time, t=4τ (26) of intensity: I=I.sub.o exp (-2/3γ.sup.2 G.sup.2 D'τ.sup.3) exp (-2τ/T.sub.2) (6) The intensity I (26) contains the additional factor, exp (-2/3γ.sup.2 G.sup.2 D'τ.sup.3) (7) due to diffusion that occurs during the time the magnetic field gradient is on. (See Abragam, A. "The Principles of Nuclear Magnetism", Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1961. specifically at p. 51, equation 48"). The intensities of each of the NMR signal (24), (25) and (26) is appropriately stored, i.e recorded by data processing and recording means (15). This same measurement sequence is repeated to determine the second image of the method of the present invention, i.e. using the same radio frequency pulse sequence (20), (21), and (22). However, during the time from the initial time to the third preselected time, i.e. t=0 to t=2τ, a magnetic field gradient G' (28) may now be applied across the specimen (2) before the imaging magnetic field gradient G (28) is applied. The gradient G' may be much larger than the imaging gradient G and need not have the same spatial direction. For example, G' could be 20 gauss/cm directed along X axis, while G is only 5 gauss/cm and directed along Y axis. As the magnitude of G is increased the value of D' that can be measured by the methods of the invention decreases. The imaging magnetic field gradient G is preferably the same as that used to obtain the first image of the measurement. The detected NMR intensity from the second measurement sequence consists of NMR signal (29) at an initial time t=0, NMR signal I' (30) at the third preselected time t=2τ of intensity: I'=I.sub.o exp (-2/3γ.sup.2 G'.sup.2 D'τ.sup.3), (7) and NMR signal I" (31) at the fourth preselected time, t=4τ of intensity: I"=I' exp (-2/3γ.sup.2 G.sup.2 D'τ.sup.3) exp (-2τ/T.sub.2) (8) Each of the NMR signals (29), (30), (31) is appropriately stored, i.e. recorded on data processing and recording means (15). The data processing and recording means (15) computes the diffusion coefficient D' from the intensities I from the first image and I" (from the second image) using the relation: D'=(3/2)γ.sup.-2 G'.sup.-2 τ.sup.-3 1n(I/I") (9) Note that this expression for D' does not depend on the spin-spin relaxation time T.sub.2 nor on the strength of the imaging gradient G. These two measurements may then be repeated with additional values of G', and a linear regression fit used to determine D' for the multiple value of G'. This D' may be determined for each pixel of the image simply by acquiring two images derived from the two spin echoes I and I". A D' image can now be made from the diffusion coefficients of the specimen using the values of D' computed pixel-by-pixel for the image. FIG. 4 depicts an alternative gradient sequence for obtaining images of diffusion coefficients. The method for the first image is as depicted and described hereinbefore. The second image employs two short (time) pulse gradients 8', one between t=ο and t=τ and the other between t=τ and t=2τ, as depicted in FIG. 4. The pulses are present for a short time, t.sub.a and separated by a time, t.sub.b. The resulting equation corresponding to equation 8 is I"=I' exp (-2/3γ'g'.sup.2 D't.sub.a.sup.2 t.sub.b) exp (-2τ/T.sub.2) (8') and similarly for equation 9, D'=γ.sup.-2 g'.sup.-2 t.sub.a.sup.-2 t.sub.b.sup.-1 ln(I/i") (9') This pulsed gradient method is less sensitive to precise timing and phasing than that depicted and described in FIG. 3. The pulsed gradients may be located any time between (t=o and t=τ) and (t=τ and t=2τ) and may be of any length less than τ. Once D' is calculated, then the formation resistivity factor, F, may be computed for each pixel in the image from the expression: F=D.sub.o /D' (10) where D.sub.o is the bulk-diffusion coefficient of the nuclei being imaged. For example, at 25 is 2 transport and diffusional transport, on which this equation relies, has been substantiated by the Klinkenberg reference noted hereinbefore. In the equations noted hereinbefore, the diffusion coefficient D' of the porous media was assumed to be isotropic. In practice, however, porous materials (specifically core samples) may exhibit significant electrical and diffusional anisotropy, which is often useful petrophysical information. If the specimen is anisotropic, the quantity measured is the diffusion coefficient in the direction of the applied field gradient G'. Thus the second image of the measurement procedure can be repeated with G' oriented along each of three orthogonal directions, to measure the diffusion coefficients along these directions and accordingly, the formation resistivity factor along those directions. Although water has been mentioned specifically in the foregoing preferred embodiment, this invention may image any fluid saturating the pores of the specimen (2), for example oil, toluene, etc. In these cases, D.sub.o is the bulk-diffusion coefficient of the nucleus imaged in fluid saturating the specimen (2). In addition, other nuclei besides the proton can be imaged, e.g., F.sup.19 or Na.sup.23. Thus, if the fluid saturating the specimen (2) is NaF salt dissolved in water, and if the fluorine nucleus is imaged, then the appropriate value of D.sub.o is the diffusion coefficient of fluoride ion in water at the temperature of the experiment. If the sodium ion is imaged, then the appropriate value of D.sub.o is the diffusion coefficient of sodium ion in water at the temperature of the experiment. Thus, a spatial formation resistivity factor may be calculated for each pixel in a plane and for each plane along the specimen (2), to provide the formation resistivity factor at any point in specimen (2). A 3-dimensional image of the formation resistivity factor is obtained which may be displayed on CRT (17), or videotape, or alternatively a hardcopy may be obtained as photograph or from a color plotter. Such a formation resistivity factor may be obtained even if clay minerals are present, by the methods of the present invention. If water is used to saturate the specimen (2) and the proton is imaged, the presence of clay minerals does not alter the determination of formation resistivity factors employing the methods of the present invention since the clay minerals do not contribute to the self-diffusion of protons of bulk water. However, if NaF brine is utilized and the sodium ion is imaged, the transport of sodium ion is reduced by the clays and this effect is included in the computed formation resistivity factor. In particular, if NaF brine is utilized in a shaly sand and both the sodium and the proton nuclei are imaged to obtain the diffusion coefficients of sodium and proton, the sodium diffusion coefficient will be reduced by the clays whereas the proton diffusion coefficient with be unaffected. The magnitude of the difference between the diffusion coefficients will depend on the cation exchange capacity of the clays in the sample, Q.sub.v. Thus, the cation exchange capacity of the clays Q.sub.v may be imaged as well as their contribution to the sample conductivity. As noted hereinabove, the preferred imaging technique is the spin-echo technique. However, other NMR pulse techniques may be employed in the method of the present invention. Similarly, other imaging schemes may be employed to obtain the second image of the imaging sequence hereinabove, for example, but not limited to Fourier imaging, spin-warp imaging, etc. Similarly, the sequence of the first and second images of may be reversed. These and other imaging schemes are well known in the art of NMR imaging. When the spin-echo technique is employed in sedimentary rocks, the first preselected time, or pulse delay time, τ, should be selected sufficiently long to allow for a diffusion path long compared to the maximum pore size in the specimen. At 25 degrees C., the root mean square diffusion distance in about 20 milliseconds is about 14 microns. For typical sedimentary rocks of interest in petroleum engineering, times greater than 50 milliseconds have been found to be sufficiently long, unless the specimens have a very high permeability. The imaging procedure may be repeated with increasingly long first preselected times τ until D' decreases from D.sub.o and finally becomes independent of pulse delay time τ. This final value of D' may then be used to calculate the formation resistivity factor. The value of the first preselected time, τ at which D' is independent of τ is a measure of the largest pore sizes present in the specimen. For short enough interpulse times a molecule has insufficient time to diffuse to a pore wall and hence its diffusion coefficient is not restricted by the pore walls. The rms average time t.sub.D required to diffuse to the pore walls for a spherical pore is given by: t.sub.o =R.sup.2 /6D.sub.o (11) where R is the radius of the pore and D.sub.o is the bulk diffusion coefficient. If the method of the present invention is repeated several times with increasing interpulse times, the smallest τ at which D' becomes independent of τ can be determined, which is t.sub.D. This is shown in FIG. 5. This value of τ can then be converted to an average or effective value of pore size R using equation (11) for each pixel in the image of the specimen (2). Thus, an image of the pore sizes in the specimen may be created by data processing and recording means (15) based upon the foregoing method of the present invention. The image of the pore sizes can be displayed on CRT (17), or hardcopy photographs or color plots may be made. Once the pore size is known, an approximate value of the specimen's fluid permeability K can be determined using the empirical expression: K=c(1/F)R.sup.2 =cD't.sub.D (12) where c is a constant, and the formation resistivity factor (F) and diffusion coefficient in the porous specimen (D') have been measured as noted hereinbefore. The constant c is approximately 20 if K is in millidarcies, R is in microns, and D' is in micron.sup.2 /sec. Again, this computation is performed pixel-by-pixel on the image of the specimen. Thus, an image of the approximate fluid permeability of the specimen may be created by data processing and recording means (15). The image of the fluid permeability may also be displayed on CRT (17), videotape, or hardcopy photographs or color plots may be made. In addition to imaging core samples from earth formations, this invention may also be applied to other porous materials such as soil, concrete, etc. Also, the invention may be employed to image diffusion coefficients in liquid and/or gaseous samples that may not be enclosed in porous media. The methods of the invention provide images of the electrical, diffusional and/or hydraulic properties of any material containing mobile nuclei which have a nuclear magnetic moment. Many other variations and modifications may be made in the techniques hereinbefore described, by those having experience in this technology, without departing from the concept of the present invention. Accordingly, it should be clearly understood that the method depicted in the accompanying drawings and referred to in the foregoing description are illustrative only and are not intended as limitations on the scope of the invention.

Pre-Owned Cars
Getting a deal through buying a rental
Car rental companies generally maintain fleets of late-model vehicles for rent and sell their rental cars after one or two years of use, usually either by auction, through a dealer, or directly from the rental company. Reputable car rental companies generally conduct regular maintenance on their vehicles and keep them clean and in good mechanical condition.
Buying a rental car
Many companies sell cars out of their rental fleet. There are advantages and disadvantages of buying a rental car.
Exterior maintenance
When you're shopping around for a pre-owned vehicle, pay close attention to the condition of the exterior. You should always inspect the car in daylight and preferably not in the rain.
Exterior inspection
Inspecting the exterior of a pre-owned car is an important part of the purchasing process. It may be a wise to conduct a complete visual inspection of the car's exterior to look for various flaws.
Independent inspection
If you're buying a pre-owned vehicle it's a sensible precaution to request an independent vehicle inspection before you decide to purchase. This should be done at a mutually agreed workshop, preferably at the seller's expense.
Final inspection
You shouldn't buy a used vehicle without first having it inspected. One option is taking the car to a diagnostic center that will check virtually every aspect and component of a car.
Pre-owned purchase tips
If you're thinking about buying a pre-owned car, there are some common-sense rules that will help you choose a good one. Always inspect the vehicle in daylight and preferably when it isn't raining.
Inspection tips
When purchasing a pre-owned car, it may be helpful to examine the car using an inspection checklist. Checklists may be found in magazines and books and on Internet sites that deal with used cars.
Maintenance records
All vehicles need regular maintenance service, generally on a schedule based on the mileage of the vehicle. Most new vehicles are provided with an owner's manual in which scheduled services can be recorded by the workshop.
Previous accidents
When you're buying a pre-owned car, you should ask the seller for as much of the vehicle's previous history as possible. If the car has previously been damaged in an accident, this should be explained to you and any repair work done to the car shown to you, preferably with workshop receipts.
Protecting against rust
As a prospective buyer of a pre-owned vehicle, you'll want to protect yourself by giving the car a thorough inspection for any possible faults or damage. This inspection should be done properly by an independent mechanic.
When purchasing a pre-owned vehicle, it in your best interest to make sure that it has not been affected by rust and corrosion. A vehicle's construction requires numerous joints, bends, folds, seams, and thousands of associated spot welds.
Checking for safety
When you're buying a pre-owned vehicle, it's a good idea to check for a state inspection not older than 30 days. State inspections cover the most fundamental safety features of the vehicle, including brakes, steering, lights, seatbelts and emissions.
Safety checks
Driving a vehicle with advanced safety features and a high rating for crash protection may not only save your life and reduce injuries in the event of a crash, it may also save you money. In some states, certain safety features on a vehicle, such as air bags and anti-lock brakes, reduce the cost of insurance.
Sales agreement
A sales agreement is a contract between the purchaser and the seller of the vehicle, which includes all the conditions of purchase. Your first concern is that the seller be entitled to sell the vehicle.
Purchase contract
A sales agreement for a pre-owned car is a purchase contract signed by both the previous owner and the new buyer. This contract may include the year, make, and model of the car.
Pre-owned car shopping
There are four major sources of pre-owned vehicles: dealers, private individuals, auctions, and car rental companies.
Shopping for a used car
Before shopping for a pre-owned car, you may want to evaluate your financial situation and let your budget help you decide which car to buy. Studying your budget can assist you in determining how much money you can afford to spend each month for a car payment.
Limited time warranty
If you bought your pre-owned car from a dealer, you may have a limited-time warranty or other agreement whereby you can return the vehicle for repair or repurchase within a certain period of time if problems develop. If you didn't already take the precaution of having the vehicle checked by an independent mechanic, now's the time to do so.
The first week home
During your first week home after purchasing a pre-owned car, you may wish to start a program of care and maintenance for both the interior and exterior of the car. By starting this program, you may help protect your new investment.
Trouble spots
When you're buying a pre-owned vehicle, there are certain important trouble spots that you should check carefully before making a decision to purchase. Your first concern should be whether the seller is fully entitled to sell the vehicle.
Trouble spots
You don't have to be an expert mechanic to investigate known trouble spots and to recognize some of the problems in a pre-owned car. Investigating these trouble spots may just be a matter of looking in the correct places.
Under the hood
When you look under the hood of a pre-owned vehicle, your first impression will probably tell you a great deal about the way the vehicle was looked after. Check for any loose wires, broken lines, or obvious leaks.
Under the hood
It may be important for you to have a pre-owned car checked out under the hood by a competent mechanic before you decide to purchase the vehicle. With a pre-owned car, problems may exist which affect the car's value and reliability.
New car warranties
Most new vehicles carry a manufacturer's warranty generally known as a 'bumper to bumper warranty.' This warranty may cover a period of several years, or a certain number of miles.
A warranty for a pre-owned car is a form of insurance policy, a contract between a buyer and a seller or between a buyer and a third party. If you're the buyer of a pre-owned car and your car breaks down or suffers a mechanical failure of certain parts, the warranty may cover replacement parts and labor.

State your terms and reach agreement. Then require them to sign a contract with a " no conflict of interest clause" .
Sometime it can be to your advantage to have an SEO that knows your industry , but at least this way you have a framework to rely on and therefore trust.

Kentucky Congressman Files Bill to Avoid Government Shutdown
Just back from summer recess, Congress is already eyeing an early getaway. Before making their Washington exit, however, Congress must pass a spending bill to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the month.
As chair of the House Appropriations Committee, Kentucky Congressman Hal Rogers introduced a continuing resolution that will continue government functions at current levels through March 2013.
The Somerset Republican calls it a "good-faith effort to provide limited, yet fair and adequate funding "for the next six months. He added "the bill essentially punts the core duty of Congress to complete its annual budget work." Congress has not agreed on final spending bills for the 2013 fiscal year, which starts October 1st. With the election less than two months away, Democrats and Republicans remain divided over spending priorities.
The House is set to pass the continuing resolution Thursday with the Senate scheduled to vote next week.

Re: Need to find a good home
Sorry for the situation.
Contact your local animal rescue group/groups and see if you can work with them to find your pets a new home. This can involve them doing a "courtesy listing" on their website, or even perhaps you going to adoption events if they have them. This may require work on you end such as transporting the animals and taking time off on the weekends for events. Most groups are stretched thin with a volunteer work force, and I've found the more time and effort the animals owner can give in the "adoption process" will greatly increase the odds of the animals finding a good home.
Please keep in mind, each rescue group usually has it's own sets of rules and "personalities" to deal with, but if you show time and patience, this could be a good course of action in finding homes.
You may also want to look at placing the animals on petfinder
Petfinder Classifieds
A very sincere good luck.
Hope you find a real good home for them good looking dogs ... if I was closer and didn't have my two ... well I'd take them.
Currently four of our own, one "moma dog" we took in we have to find a home for, as well as her nine puppies.Just because you can't do everything, doesn't mean that you have to chose to do nothing.
We have them listed with the local groups. Wanted to spread the word and this is a good group of people
Wanted to update so more of you see this thread

March 30, 2012, 1:41 PM —
When people ask me which smartphone they should buy, the first question I ask is, "What carrier do you want to be on?" But based on some research just out about prepaid, no-contract phones, I'm going to have to figure out a new way to break things down.
Marketing research firm Stevenson Company released its latest TraQline Wireless report, which covers both prepaid/no-contract phones and standard contract/"postpaid" phones. That report, as covered by GigaOM, The Fonecast, and other sites, states that more than 50 percent of all phone purchases, prepaid or contractual, are smartphones. That's an interesting breaking point, but probably something you already figured. It also depends on how you judge a "smartphone," but that's an endless debate.
More interesting in the immediate sense is that 63 percent of no-contract/postpaid phones sold are smartphones in the recent period tracked by TraQline. And with that surge, smartphones have grown from 5 percent of the prepaid market three years ago to about 29 percent at the end of 2011. For reference, 17 percent of all cellphone purchases in the U.S. are prepaid, and Walmart sells the most of those phones, according to TraQline.
The market for prepaid smartphones belongs to Android in a big way. In fact, prepaid Android availability is exactly what hurts the iPhone's sales abroad, even if that assumes Apple is interested in having any prepaid cellular customers as their own customers. That's due to Android being, at least on certain levels, free for manufacturers and carriers to modify and distribute. And modify they do. Bluetooth and USB capabilities are hampered to prevent file transfers, the Play Store (formerly the Market) is restricted or stricken from the phone entirely, and every little thing you'd like to add to your phone has to be purchased using your prepaid balance.
