Matt Barnes, Other NBA Stars Use MMA To Prepare For Season

Read More: Matt Barnes (F - LAC), Roy Hibbert (C - IND), Los Angeles Clippers

Given the fact that newly acquired Los Angeles Clippers forward and former UCLA standout Matt Barnes has made an NBA career out of being an enforcer, it should be no surprise that a report from ProBasketballTalk states that the former Los Angeles Lakers reserve is using Mixed Martial Arts as a way to prepare for the upcoming season.

"It's a great, intense cardio workout," Barnes told the site. "Me growing up on the streets, fighting my whole life, learning the proper way to strike, to throw elbows, to throw knees, to guard, it's just a great way to get ready and get a workout in."

Barnes is working with former MMA fighter John Marsh at Gold's Gym in Redondo Beach, Calif. and is learning how to fight, according to the report. The training could serve two purposes for Barnes, who enjoys mixing it up with the other team and serving as his team's enforcer. He'll get into better shape and become an even stronger asset in an enforcer role he's comfortable with.

Other stars, such as Indiana Pacers' big man Roy Hibbert, have also adopted the MMA training.

iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4S vs. iPhone 3GS vs. iPhone design gallery

The iPhone 5 Apple's 6th version, and 4th major design revision, of the iPhone. It might well have been inevitable, and still be working its way towards Jonathan Ive's Platonic ideal, but it's also a fascinating visual evolution of case shrinking, screen lengthening, and materials improving over generations.

Here's the Darwinian march of iPhone designs through the years, from the original 2007 iPhone to the 2009 iPhone 3GS to the 2011 iPhone 4S to the brand new 2012 iPhone 5.

Here are the backs, from aluminum to plastic to glass and back to aluminum.

And the dock connector, from 30-pin to Lightning, as well as the speaker and mic grills, and the movement of the 3.5mm headset jack. (Side by side and stacked.)

The controls on the side, stacked, from rockers to buttons.

The SIM cards both in trays and naked, from mini- to micro- to nano-SIM.

All shots taken with a Canon 5D Mark III and a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM and an EF 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro lens, embedded at HiDPI for iPhones, iPad 3, and Retina MacBook Pro.

Romney Was in a 'Unique Position' on Tax Rate, Campaign Says

Mitt Romney paid extra taxes because he was in the "unique position" of having publicly claimed a 13 percent rate, the Romney campaign said Friday.

Romney and his wife, Ann, paid more taxes than they had to in 2011, choosing not to claim deductions for $1.8 million in charitable donations. The Romneys donated just over $4 million to charity in 2011 but claimed deductions on only $2.25 million.

In August, Romney said he has paid at least a 13 percent effective rate in past years, and claiming full deductions would have lowered his rate below that mark. The donations would have brought Romney down to a 10.38 percent effective rate, according to CPA Steve Frushtick.

"The Romneys thus limited their deduction of charitable contributions to conform to the Governor's statement in August, based upon the January estimate of income, that he paid at least 13 percent in income taxes in each of the last 10 years," Romney's blind trustee, Brad Malt, explained in a blog post Friday morning.

"I did go back and look at my taxes, and over the past 10 years, I never paid less than 13 percent," Romney said in August, following up on a question asked weeks earlier by ABC's David Muir. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had claimed that Romney paid no taxes in at least one year, according to a source Reid would not name.

Romney aide Michele Davis, a former Treasury official hired by the campaign in August, elaborated Friday on why Romney chose to pay more than he owed.

"He has been clear that no American need pay more than he or she owes under the law. At the same time, he was in the unique position of having made a commitment to the public that his tax rate would be above 13 percent," Davis said, in response ABC's email request for more information about Romney's decision. "He directed his preparers to ensure that he is consistent with that statement."

Davis responded in light of another Romney statement. In July, Romney told Muir that if he paid more taxes than necessary, he wouldn't be qualified to be president.

"I don't pay more than are legally due, and frankly if I had paid more than are legally due I don't think I'd be qualified to become president," Romney told Muir. "I'd think people would want me to follow the law and pay only what the tax code requires."
