Disclaimer: This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Latina Mom Bloggers and Old Spice. All opinions are 100% mine.
My 10 year old son & husband are the perfect combo, except when they "play" outside. My husband is not a sit in the recliner type of guy. He rarely uses the computer and although he loves video games, he gets headaches from the quick video game motions. So, he works outside on many projects around the house. What does that mean? My son has to be right out there with him. So everyday after working outside my perfect combo comes inside dirty and sweaty and ready to get cleaned up for supper. This Mami knows what kind of products get my men smelling good and clean: Old Spice!
Old Spice, the manliest men's grooming brand on the planet, is back to inform guys that when they use Old Spice anti-perspirant and deodorant, body wash + 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner together the result is a manly, amazing, irresistible freshness from head to toes. Every year my husband gets Old Spice for Christmas. Usually he gets a large collection from different family members.
While some might take the gesture as an insult, my husband is very picky about the men's care products he uses. He doesn't care for anything that is over powering, not effective or gives him a rash so Old Spice is something he has used for many, many years. My 10 year old is the perfect age to learn about men's grooming and hygene so he uses what he dad likes. My favorite combo, has their favorite men's care combo and I get to reap the fresh smelling benefits.

Understanding The Impact of Muscle Weakness
Muscle strength testing is not always part of a standard podiatric biomechanical evaluation. Unfortunately, muscular weakness can often influence function and, if undetected, can lead to chronic pain in the joints which the weakened muscles support. There are several reasons for muscular weakness, but the most common cause is chronic inhibition signaling from the CNS. Since motor signals to muscles normally cycle between facilitation (excitation) and inhibition, an alteration in this signaling can often cause chronic inhibition and subsequent pain. With this in mind, our expert panelists offer their opinions on how you can use this effect to manage a variety of common podiatric conditions. Q: What is the effect of peroneal inhibition on normal foot function? A: Hallux limitus/rigidus, hallux valgus and sesamoiditis can all be related to suppressed function of the peroneal muscles, according to Howard Dananberg, DPM. Often, this can occur following a subtle inversion ankle sprain-type injury and lead to pain in and around the first MTPJ. The peroneals have both an eccentric and concentric function during gait, notes Trevor Prior, FCPod(S). In latter stance, as the heel starts to lift from the ground, first MTPJ dorsiflexion and ankle plantarflexion should occur. This motion initiates the windlass mechanism as the fascia begins to tighten. In turn, this will cause plantarflexion of the first metatarsal, which is stabilized against the ground by peroneus longus activity, according to Mr. Prior. As the tendon of peroneus longus pivots around the cuboid, it will cause some rotation and ultimately close packing of the calcaneocuboid joint as described by Bojsen-Moller. "Inhibition will affect the ability of peroneus longus to stabilize the first ray and predispose to instability," notes Mr. Prior. "It may be difficult to determine whether first MTPJ dysfunction (due to functional hallux limitus, rearfoot pronation, etc.) prevents normal peroneal activity or vice versa. The net result is dysfunction." Why Peroneal Inhibition Is Difficult To Detect Michelle Guiliano, DPM, assesses this muscle inhibition through manual testing. She asks the patient to hold the foot in a plantarflexed, everted position while she tries to invert/plantarflex the foot. There is inhibition if the patient can't resist her force, according to Dr. Guiliano. She says you should make sure the patient does not recruit other muscles while trying to resist the force because this will make the assessment inaccurate. There are other factors that make it difficult to detect peroneal inhibition. "The peroneal and tibialis posterior muscles function together—not to move the foot, but to stabilize the foot," says Dr. Guiliano. "The posterior tibial muscle promotes supination of the subtalar joint and external rotation of the leg while the peroneals provide motion in the pronatory direction and through internal rotation of the leg. This is the reason why you may not recognize peroneal or tibialis posterior inhibition if there is not an obvious sign such as the collapse of the medial longitudinal arch." There is not a distinct lack of function when these muscles are inhibited as there would be with a muscle like the tibialis anterior, according to Dr. Guiliano. When the tibialis anterior is not functioning properly, you would see foot slap. When the peroneal muscles are not functioning, you have a more difficult task of assessing instability. While you may detect direct mechanical dysfunction during your gait analysis, Prior cautions that ineffective peroneal activity may also predispose to lateral ankle instability, explaining why this condition can occur in the pronated foot. As an example of the effect of peroneal inhibition on normal foot function, Dr. Guiliano speaks of a patient who has chronic ankle sprains. The patient often describes frequent, inconsequential inversion ankle sprains or an ankle that "gives out for no reason." Manual muscle testing of the peroneal muscle on the affected side as described above often reveals little or no resistance to the directed force. The reason for the "sprains" is not necessarily "weak" or "loose" lateral ankle ligaments but rather the dominance of the tibialis posterior muscle, according to Dr. Guiliano. If the peroneal muscle is not functioning properly, it cannot balance out the tibialis posterior muscle, thereby allowing the tibialis posterior to be dominant. When it is uninhibited by the peroneal muscle, the tibialis posterior muscle plantarflexes and inverts the foot. As a result, this may lead to frequent inversion sprains of the affected ankle. What are the best treatment techniques? Dr. Dananberg recommends ankle manipulation and follow-up exercises to maintain peroneal strength, noting they "can do wonders" to resolve symptoms of peroneal inhibition. Whether there is complete inhibition or a functional weakness, Mr. Prior seeks to restore normal activity by facilitating function (via mobilization/stimulation) and providing sufficient power, strength and endurance (via exercises). Q: What is the effect of posterior tibial inhibition? A: Dr. Dananberg notes posterior tibial dysfunction is a common result of inhibition to the posterior tibial tendon. He recently saw a 65-year-old woman who suffered for one year with this condition, which began following an inversion ankle sprain. He treated her with extensive physical therapy, casting and then an F/U orthotic, all to no avail. On examination, she exhibited –3 degrees of ankle joint dorsiflexion on the affected side and only one-quarter posterior tibial strength. "Following manipulation of the ankle, she had a dramatic response with complete reversal of the posterior tibial strength," recalls Dr. Dananberg. "With an appropriate prescription orthotic, she returned to normal walking within several weeks." As for posterior tibial inhibition, Dr. Guiliano assesses it via manual muscle testing, as she does for peroneal inhibition. Patients hold their feet in plantarflexed, inverted positions while Dr. Guiliano tries to evert/plantarflex the foot. An inability to resist force is considered inhibition. She warns practitioners to be careful the patient does not recruit other muscles while trying to resist the force because this will make the assessment inaccurate. For Mr. Prior, tibialis posterior function is important in early and latter stance. In the initial contact period, eccentric contraction helps to slow rearfoot pronation and thus control the loading process. Failure of this mechanism can result in rapid and increased rearfoot pronation, and an inability to withstand the pronatory forces from ground reaction. As the body progresses over the foot and the heel begins to unweight, elastic recoil within the muscle tendon unit (in conjunction with some concentric contraction) will help to initiate inversion, leading to supination of the foot. In turn, this will provide mechanical advantage for the calf muscle complex and facilitate ankle push-off power. Weakness and inhibition of this process will result in prolonged pronation and instability of the medial column with a failure of re-supination and an apropulsive gait pattern. "Once again, you should aim your treatment at facilitating function and providing appropriate levels of strength," says Mr. Prior. Dr. Guiliano cites the example of the classic hyperpronated foot to illustrate the effect of posterior tibial inhibition on normal foot function. If the posterior tibial muscle is not functioning properly, the peroneal muscles can take over and cause a lateral imbalance, notes Dr. Guiliano. She says this lateral imbalance will prevent the medial longitudinal arch from becoming a rigid lever during propulsion, resulting in inadequate propulsion. This foot typically would abduct during gait and an abductory twist can be present during propulsion. "I feel it is important to note that posterior tibial inhibition is not the only cause of the classic hyperpronated foot but it is an important etiology to be considered," she says. Q: Is there a similar effect to ankle manipulation on the posterior tibial muscle? A: Dr. Guiliano says you first should perform neurolymphatic stimulation to address the inhibition of these muscles. Neurolymphatic stimulation is based on Chapman points, which are correlated with specific muscles. She describes these points as "light switches" to her patients, explaining every muscle in the body has a light switch that can turn it on and off. When you properly stimulate the point associated with a dysfunctioning muscle, there will be an increase in strength of that muscle when you test it again. "This is a wonderful exercise for patients because they will be able to see and feel the lack of strength upon initial testing and the dramatic improvement following the neurolymphatic stimulation," explains Dr. Guiliano. You would perform neurolymphatic stimulation with a light touch in a circular, very subtle motion. When there is a chronic dysfunction of the muscle, the point will be very sensitive and often will feel like a pea underneath the skin. Dr. Guiliano says deep palpation is not required to find the point. It is very superficial, as though it is in the subcutaneous tissue. You should also note these points are more like energy points because you will not find them along the nerve or lymph vessels that support the specific muscles. For example, you'll locate the peroneal point on the anterior pubis bone lateral to the pubic symphysis on the affected side and you will find the posterior tibial point two inches up and one inch over from the umbilicus on the affected side. Dr. Guiliano notes the posterior tibial point is the hardest to find because it is not located over a specific bony landmark and it varies with torso length and other malalignments of the body. As she explains, this explanation is just a brief introduction to neurolymphatic stimulation and it takes time and practice to palpate and stimulate these points readily. Then perform manual muscle testing to ensure adequate stimulation occurred. "While we can address inhibition of muscles through neurolymphatic stimulation, often there is an underlying cause to the chronic inhibition and this must be addressed as well," says Dr. Guiliano. "Lack of ankle dorsiflexion can cause this inhibition and I feel ankle manipulation can have a positive effect on the posterior tibial muscle." While ankle joint and superior tibio-fibula joint mobilization can facilitate inhibited peroneal function, Mr. Prior says he is unaware of a similar mobilization that has the same result for tibialis posterior. However, many patients with inhibition and recurrent pronation will present with reduced talo-navicular, first ray and first MTPJ motion. Mobilizations of the affected joints can improve motion, dynamic function and complement the strengthening program. Muscle stimulation points have been described for both the peroneals and tibialis posterior muscles, and can be a useful adjunct in this treatment process. You should note mobilization and muscle facilitation are usually part of the treatment process and rarely replace the need for addressing the underlying biomechanical abnormalities. However, Mr. Prior emphasizes that clinicians who make the effort to learn and master these techniques will have an invaluable tool for enhancing patient care. Mr. Prior has found these techniques particularly beneficial in reducing the dysfunction caused by post-operative stiffness. Dr. Dananberg (pictured) practices in Bedford, NH. Dr. Guiliano has a private practice in Rutland, Vt. with an emphasis on holistic podiatric care. Mr. Prior has a private practice in London and is a National Health Service consultant in the U.K.

Private or public – either scenario for Dell will be interesting to watch.
One of the most difficult skills I've worked hard to master as an entrepreneur is the ability to see the world six months out. Even more difficult is finding that balance between pleasing shareholders and driving innovation forward, which is why I respect any moves management takes that are aimed at improving innovation.
However, I must admit that I nearly spit out my morning coffee when I overheard a rumor that — on the heels of the expectation of going private — Mr. Dell told his employees: "Welcome to the world's biggest startup."
After founding three startups, I can tell you with confidence that there is no way Dell has the culture or the ass-kicking visionary à la Steve Jobs that it needs to be even remotely considered a startup.
The real battle at Dell is not going to be with shareholders – it's going to be a battle to reform culture.
The entire reason for existence of a startup company is innovation. Employees pull together to create something exciting and magical, while the companies themselves invest most of their time, energy and dollars on developing potentially disruptive products.
I'd sooner expect to see a magic unicorn than something innovative from Dell.
For startups, that means easily spending over 50 percent of revenue just on R&D. Even when they're out of the startup stage, innovative companies continue to spend roughly 12 percent of their revenue on research and development. And what's Dell's track-record on investing in innovation?
According to its public filings, Dell consistently spent 1 to 2 percent of revenue on R&D — this at a time when Wall Street traditionally likes to see that 10 percent R&D investment. Will Dell suddenly start spending at the levels it needs to? It could, but I'd sooner expect to see a magic unicorn than something innovative from Dell.
In my mind, Dell has become a brand surrounding a hollow shell. Unfortunately for Dell, it's become the PC equivalent of The Invisible Man. I mean this literally: The rise of cloud computing means companies are buying Salesforce and Workday, for example — and whatever servers those cloud providers happen to be running on. And when companies aren't buying Macs for their employees, they care more about reliability and cost than they do about the nameplate that's glued to the machine.
As a SaaS provider, my company spent $2 million buying CPU time and storage on Amazon Web Services last year. We don't know the brand and we don't know the type of computer because everything's virtual and in the cloud. All we do know is how much we pay for the cores, memory and disk space on those machines. Maybe they're Dell computers, maybe not. I neither know nor care — and that's about as damning as it gets for a hardware maker.
Clearly, it's a whole new game for Dell — one that requires a different mindset from its leader and a new (and so far unseen) willingness to create the unexpected. It also needs to introduce and establish a completely new culture among its employees. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I just don't believe a company mired in inertia can transform itself, especially one as desperate as Dell.

VANCOUVER — Somehow, a springtime that began with "I wonder what the Canucks will get for Roberto Luongo?" morphed into a summer of "I wonder why they haven't done the deal yet?" to an autumn of "You mean he's still here?" to a winter that has utterly turned a foregone conclusion upside down.
Now, after one season-opening disaster and a series of head-scratching decisions by head coach Alain Vigneault, the question has become: "I wonder what the Canucks could get for Cory Schneider?" And now, because of a bad case of waffling on the part of Vigneault — who claims to have a master plan for the goalies one day, and says he's going with his gut, game by game, the next — the can of worms is open, and the little devils are wriggling all over what looked, nine months ago, like a seamless transition in the making.
While the trade market slumbers, Luongo gains confidence, along with credibility and likability, by the day. It's as though his slate has been wiped clean in Vancouver, and the critical masses have begun to view him through a wholly different lens, now that he's about to leave.
That's good for him, and not terrible for the Canucks, who are enjoying the best of Roberto and, as a handy by-product, allowing potential trade partners to see him at his regular-season stingiest.
And Schneider? He's languishing on the bench, wondering what hit him.
He's keeping the stiff upper lip, but surely dying a little inside, after Vigneault handed Luongo a "gimme" win Wednesday over the lowly (and shorthanded) Colorado Avalanche, and followed it up by naming the 33-year-old veteran to start Friday's grudge match at home against the 3-2-2 Canucks' most bitter rivals, the 6-0-1 Chicago Blackhawks.
That's bad for the 26-year-old who's supposed to be the future of the franchise, and it could be bad, long-term, for a team that must have broken some of the promises it made to him before he agreed to a three-year, $12 million extension during the off-season.
"I signed it knowing full well this could have happened," Schneider said Thursday, still playing the good soldier. "I was well aware of the possibilities. Nothing in this world is guaranteed, so when I signed the contract, I did it in good faith.
"So it's not like it's a surprise. It's a scenario that could have played out and it has."
The good faith, though, doesn't appear to have been reciprocated. While GM Mike Gillis waits for the perfect deal — having reportedly passed on at least one (Tyler Bozak/Nazem Kadri from Toronto) that might have helped his team considerably in other areas both now and into the future — the fans and media have all sensed the strain the lack of closure must be putting on the goalies' hopes for this season ... and their relationship.
Publicly, they're keeping it light.
Vigneault, when asked if he could divulge a few of the reasons for his choice of Luongo against the Blackhawks, pulled a coin out of his pocket, flipped it, slapped it on his wrist and said: "Louie." And smiled.
He's not about to tell anyone how he makes his decisions, other than to say the coaching staff has input, "but at the end of the day, it's my call."
"Does [Gillis] have input, too?" someone asked.
"Oh yeah. Mike has input on everything," Vigneault said, chuckling. "He's not afraid to share it, too. And that's what he has to do. He's the general manager."
On statistics alone, not to mention momentum, the decision to play Luongo is sensible enough. He's coming off a shutout, he's got a goals-against average (1.61) that's roughly twice as good as Schneider's, though the younger goalie's 3.13 GAA and .897 save percentage (to Luongo's .938) are largely due to giving up five goals on 14 Anaheim shots in the season opener before being pulled 26 minutes in.
But the fact is, the ostensible No. 1 goalie has already played fewer minutes than the guy who was supposed to have been long gone by now.
And what happens if Luongo is a winner again Friday?
"I don't think any of us could have" envisioned the current situation," Luongo admitted. "That's the reality of it. But I'm in a happy place right now, playing well, the team's playing well, and I just want keep 'er going."
"I don't know if there is a plan, it's just ... the team played well, won a big game, and we're going to roll with it. I don't think it's any more complicated than that," Schneider said.
The prospect of this continuing for any length of time is "more in Mike's (GM Gillis) hands than mine," Luongo said. "I gave him the green light to do whatever he wants, so that's his call, not mine."
And the choice of goaltenders is Vigneault's call. Luongo doesn't know what the coach bases his decisions on.
"No, it's a gut feeling, I guess," he said. "But I've gotta be honest, he's made a lot of good calls since I've been here on which goalie to start in which circumstance, and most of the time when he makes a call that goes against conventional thinking, it pays off."
Schneider has continued to act like the perfect understudy, betraying no bitterness even though the lead role was supposed to have been his by now.
"I think we're past the point of disappointment and anger and frustration. It is what it is, and you just have to be a professional about it," he said.
"I don't feel bad for myself, I don't think anyone else does. If you're going to sit there and pout about not playing, it's a little selfish. And I understand that you have to have the desire to play — and I do, I want to play — but at the same time, you can't put yourself ahead of 20 other guys trying to do the job.
"I don't know if people forget: we're on the same team. I'm sure people pick sides and root for one guy over the other, but we're on the same team and we're trying to accomplish the same goal."
The relationship, both goalies say, is just fine. Neither needs to be reminded not to take the daily fluctuations in status personally.
"That was discussed amongst ourselves a long, long time ago, going back to last year, so it's not a big deal," Luongo said. "Just like when he was playing in the playoffs, I was 100 per cent behind him, wishing him well, and that's the way it goes."
And goes. And goes ...

American Wine
Wine has been made in the North America since early French settlers discovered vines growing across the land. However early experiments were unsuccessful as the native vines (mostly vitis labrusca) although sweet nevertheless imparted an unpleasant taste that has been described as "feral" or "foxy". Americans then attempted to grow European vines (vitis vinifera) for the purpose of making fine wine but this too was unsuccessful as the phylloxera louse thrived in the soils and killed the roots. The immunity of the native vines was to become important to the development of the wine industry not only in the USA but across the world as it was discovered that grafting European grape vines onto native American rootstock had the dual benefit of giving resistance to phylloxera together with the superior flavours of European wine grapes.
The burgeoning wine industry in the USA suffered another setback with the enforcement of Prohibition. Much of the area under vine was replanted with table grapes with only a small amount of communion wine enduring. It wasn't until after the Second World War that things took a turn for the better, with wine pioneers such as Robert Mondavi making great strides in the quality stakes, so much so that today the USA has become not only the single biggest market for wine in the world but also the fourth biggest producer. A.V.As. (American Viticultural Areas) enshrine the better wine-producing regions and the US is capable of producing some very fine wines with 90% of its production being located in California, particularly in the Napa Valley, Sonoma and surrounding North Coast areas where Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay to name but two varieties make highly sought-after wines but good wine is also made further south in the Central Coast area all the way down to Santa Barbara county. The cooling effect of the Pacific Ocean is very beneficial in areas near to the coast with the rising hot air currents inland drawing in banks of fog from the sea up into the valley vineyards all summer resulting in long growing seasons and grapes packed with flavour due to their longer ripening period .
Very good wines are also being made in Oregon, famous for its somewhat Burgundian Pinot Noir red wines since the 1970s and also in Washington State where Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot and Riesling do well in what has become the USA's second largest producer after California. The New England area in the north east of the country is also a source of fine wines. A stunning fact is that there are vineyards and wineries in every single state that at least satisfy local demand for their wines and many do rather more than that. In addition to a profusion of medium sized as well as boutique wineries are the huge wine conglomerates such as E & J Gallo which makes a quarter of all American wine and is the second biggest producer in the world.
Opus One, Napa Valley, Mondavi, 1980
Opus One was a joint enterprise between Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild combining in a new venture in California's Napa Valley. It was produced from the traditional Bordeaux grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot with the first mentioned variety being predominant.

Hearing set in request for Mo. governor's testimony
Mark Woodworth's conviction overturned in January
A western Missouri judge has scheduled a hearing next week to determine if Gov. Jay Nixon can be deposed for a Chillicothe man's third murder trial.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Platte County Circuit Judge Owens Lee Hull Jr. set the hearing for Thursday.
Attorneys for Mark Woodworth are seeking to depose Nixon, who was attorney general when then-special state prosecutor Kenny Hulshof was appointed to the case.
Woodworth's 1995 conviction for the shooting death of neighbor Cathy Robertson was overturned on appeal. Woodworth was convicted again four years later and sentenced to life in prison. The Missouri Supreme Court overturned that conviction in January.
Woodworth now is facing a third trial.
The judge denied requests from Woodworth's attorneys to dismiss the case and to impose sanctions against prosecutors.

Course: Studio Art 66/68: Architecture II
Instructor: Prof. Jack Wilson
Assignment: Architectual Space in Digital Media
The experience of architecture is spatial and it is also temporal. The purpose of this assignment is to encourage students to explore and analyze existing buildings and places on the Dartmouth campus from the perspective of their own experience in a spatial, aesthetic and temporal sense and to investigate the history and character of a particular building or place. The work to complete the assignment will consist of research as well as video production.
Students will work in teams of two determined by the instructor.
Each team will select three buildings or places from the following list in order of priority of your preference:
- Dartmouth Row
- Hopkins Center
- Hood Museum
- Collis Center
- Robinson Hall
- Baker/Berry
- Rauner Library at Webster Hall
- Alumni Gymnasium/Memorial Field
- Fairchild Science Center
- Leverone Field House
- College Park/Bartlett Tower/the Bema
The instructor will assign each team to a building or place from their list of selections.
The class will attend an orientation session with Jay Satterfield, Dartmouth's Special Collections Librarian, to learn about research access to the Rauner Special Collections Library. This archive will serve as a primary resource in researching the building or place assigned.
The class will also attend digital video tutorial sessions in the Starr Instructional Center at Berry Library. Teams will complete an edited digital video recording of approximately 8-10 minutes in length. Each team is to research and explore the experience of that building or place using historical analysis as well as contemporary visual experience through the medium of digital video. Students will use iMovie as an editing program for this exercise. Camcorders, editing stations and portable hard drives are available for use through coordination with the Jones Media Center. The Instructor will arrange to make DV tapes available from Jones for the taping and storage of projects. Final projects will be burned onto DVD's.

What are the West's military options in Syria?
Following reports of a large-scale chemical weapons strike, pressure is mounting on the United States and its Western allies to act to halt the violence in Syria.
But, with politicians and public alike loathe to get sucked into another drawn out land war in the Middle East, what military options remain on the table?
Buffer zones
Some experts suggest buffer zones could be created along Syria's Turkish and perhaps Jordanian borders to serve as a safe area for refugees and as a rebel rear base.
This would limit the area that international troops would need to control but, as America's top general Martin Dempsey warned in a letter to US lawmakers, it would be no easy task.
"Lethal force would be required to defend the zones against air, missile, and ground attacks," the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
"This would necessitate the establishment of a limited no-fly zone, with its associated resource requirements. Thousands of US ground forces would be needed, even if positioned outside Syria, to support those physically defending the zones."
Meanwhile, security expert Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies warned that the tactic might not be enough to ensure President Bashar al-Assad's defeat.
"It may well mean rebel defeat or giving the Assad regime control over so much of Syria that little is left to the rebels except for the equivalent of armed refugee camps at Syria's margins or borders," he said.
"They might also end up shielding Syrian refugees near the border area without offering any real hope for the future."
No fly zone
Influential voices, including some US lawmakers, have called for allied air power to enforce a no-fly zone over Syria in order to prevent Assad's regime from bombing rebel forces and civilian populations.
Senator John McCain, a senior figure on foreign policy and former naval aviator, has argued that this could be accomplished relatively easily, but other experts have warned that it would not be without risk.
According to a US Air Force study: "Syria's air-defense network at the start of the civil war ranked among the most capable and dense in the world, perhaps second only to North Korea's and Russia's.
"The overlapping coverage of missiles and radars consisted of approximately 650 static air-defense sites, the most worrisome of which housed the SA-5 Gammon, having a range of 165 nautical miles and an altitude capability of 100,000 feet."
The US Joint Chiefs of Staff warn that the campaign to establish a no-fly zone would not simply involve patrolling fighter jets, but also bombing runs against air defense sites and Syrian airbases, backed by refueling tankers and electronic countermeasures.
"We would require hundreds of ground and sea-based aircraft," Dempsey said.
Just closing down Assad's main air bases would require a salvo of at least 72 cruise missiles on the first night alone, according to a report by the Institute for the Study of War.
Cordesman said such a campaign would require access to airfields in the region, and support from US allies such as Britain, France and Arab Gulf monarchies.
And even with such a coalition, it might not have the desired effect, according to the retired US commander for the Middle East, General James Mattis.
"Can we do it? Absolutely," he said. "And the killing will go on on the ground because they are not using aircraft to do most of the killing."
Destroy or secure Syria's chemical weapons
Although most of the estimated 100,000 dead in the civil war have been killed with conventional arms, the international community has been outraged by Assad's alleged use of chemical weapons.
Western experts believe the regime holds hundreds of tonnes of sarin, VX and mustard gas, and some have called on American forces to lead an operation to destroy or secure the stockpile and prevent it being used on civilians or falling into terrorist hands.
Again, Dempsey was unenthusiastic.
"At a minimum, this option would call for a no-fly zone as well as air and missile strikes involving hundreds of aircraft, ships, submarines, and other enablers," he said.
"Thousands of special operations forces and other ground forces would be needed to assault and secure critical sites," he warned, adding that even this would offer no guarantees.
"The impact would be the control of some, but not all chemical weapons," he said, adding: "Our inability to fully control Syria's storage and delivery systems could allow extremists to gain better access."

was introduced to arcades in the early 1970s.Computer graphics have become much more sophisticated since then, and game graphics are pushing the barriers of photorealism. Now, researchers and engineers are pulling graphics out of your television screen or computer display and integrating them into real-world environments. This new technology, called augmented reality, blurs the line between what's real and what's computer-generated by enhancing what we see, hear, feel and smell. On the spectrum between virtual reality, which creates immersive, computer-generated environments, and the real world, augmented reality is closer to the real world. Augmented reality adds graphics, sounds, haptic feedback and smell to the natural world as it exists. Both video games and cell phones are driving the development of augmented reality. Everyone from tourists, to soldiers, to someone looking for the closest subway stop can now benefit from the ability to place computer-generated graphics in their field of vision. Augmented reality is changing the way we view the world -- or at least the way its users see the world. Picture yourself walking or driving down the street. With augmented-reality displays, which will eventually look much like a normal pair of glasses, informative graphics will appear in your field of view, and audio will coincide with whatever you see. These enhancements will be refreshed continually to reflect the movements of your head. Similar devices and applications already exist, particularly on smartphones like the iPhone

Red Sox unleash offense to romp past Giants
Middlebrooks, Drew homer to help back Doubront's great start
SAN FRANCISCO -- A day after they endured one of their more frustrating defeats of the season, all seemed right again for the Red Sox on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon at AT&T Park.
Backed by a batting barrage and a surgical pitching performance by lefty Felix Doubront, Boston rolled to a 12-1 victory in the rubber match of a three-game series against the Giants.
Considering that the Red Sox had lost eight out of 12 coming into this one, it was just the type of well-rounded performance they needed heading into Thursday's off-day and then a three-game weekend showdown in Los Angeles against the red-hot Dodgers.
"Well, series wins are good, especially on the road," said manager John Farrell. "On the heels of last night, it was just a good way to come out in a day game and put up a good strong effort."
Doubront (9-6) set just the type of tone his team needed, firing eight strong innings. He allowed five hits and a run, walking one and striking out three.
It was a nice bounceback performance from the lefty, who had struggled in his last two starts after a strong three-month stretch.
The key?
"Throwing the ball down," Doubront said. "That was my routine these last few days and in my bullpen, just throwing the ball down. I was able to do that; I was working fast and getting those hitters, making good pitches and throwing strikes. I was able to throw strikes down in the zone."
The offense came from all over the lineup, but started at the top with Jacoby Ellsbury, who belted three hits and stole a base. Shane Victorino ripped three hits from the No. 2 spot. And third-place hitter Dustin Pedroia belted three hits, including two doubles, giving Boston's 1-2-3 spots in the order an 8-for-13 afternoon.
But it didn't stop there. Stephen Drew hammered a three-run homer. Will Middlebrooks put Boston up early with a two-run shot.
"And when you look at the bottom half with driving in runs, it was very good production up and down," said Farrell. "Will has come back to us and really swung the bat well in the time back here. He gets us on the board first with a two-run homer and like I said, a lot of quality at-bats today."
Joaquin Arias lofted a solo homer to left against Doubront in the bottom of the second, making it a 2-1 game.
"Everything was working," said Doubront. "The home run was my decision to throw that cutter, but it was a good pitch and he put a good swing on it.
But that homer was offset when Boston did more damage against Barry Zito in the third. Ellsbury led off with a single to right and stole second. Victorino reached on a bunt single. Pedroia followed with an RBI double into the corner in left. Jonny Gomes blooped a two-run single to left and just like that, the Sox had a 5-1 lead.
Though Gomes doesn't play every day, he always seems to make a contribution when he does.
"He has a compact swing -- student of the game," said Farrell. "Always prepared and ready to go. He knew yesterday when they announced Zito was going to start that he'd be in there today. When he has a full 24 hours to prepare in a starting role, he seems to come up big."
Boston broke it open with a five-spot in the seventh, fueled by a two-run single by Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Drew's three-run rocket to right.
The way the game played out, Farrell got a chance to do some tinkering for the final few innings.
David Ortiz, who has been bothered by some general soreness, particularly in his lower back, was replaced by Mike Napoli in the bottom of the fifth.
And Middlebrooks was moved from third base to second base for the final three innings. From what Middlebrooks could remember, it was the first time he's played second base in his life. He was a shortstop in high school.
Somehow, he looked at ease, completing a 6-4-3 double play off the bat of Hunter Pence.
"That was out of nowhere," said Middlebrooks. "I wasn't expecting it -- that was a lot of fun."
When the Red Sox recalled prospect Xander Bogaerts on Monday and sent Brock Holt back to the Minors, it left the club without a backup second baseman.
Enter Middlebrooks, who will be happy to play the part until rosters are expanded Sept. 1.
"I haven't turned a play up the middle since I was 18 in Texarkana, Texas, so it's been awhile," said Middlebrooks.
For the Red Sox, getaway day wound up being a highly successful mission.
"To win this series was definitely a good thing because we're going up against a very hot and talented team down in L.A.," said Farrell.
