How to submit HPC Jobs
An HPC job usually consists of a compiled C, C++, or Fortran program. Refer to our tutorial to learn more about compiling code for HPC, and to our software list for what compilers and libraries are available.
Some jobs may actually be Python, Java, or even simple BASH scripts, which our HPC also supports.
Creating a MOAB submission script
The FSU HPC uses the MOAB Job Management (e.g. batch processing) system to schedule jobs on the HPC cluster. MOAB connects to a backend system called Torque which will run your code on our hardware. You will need to submit your job to the MOAB queue in order for it to be scheduled and eventually run in our HPC cluster.
Before submitting a job to the HPC, you must decide a few things:
- Which queue to submit your job to - If you have purchased HPC nodes, you will have your own dedicated queue. For
all others, you can choose between the
genacc_qfor long-running jobs, and the
backfillqueue for shorter running jobs that may use more resources at a time.
- How long your job needs to run - Choose this value carefully. If you choose a value too short, the system may kill your job before it completes. If you choose a value too long, the scheduler may delay the start of your job for longer than necessary. This value is limited to the maximum length of time allowed for each queue.
- How many compute nodes your job will need - This is the level of parallelization, and is also limited per user and per queue.
Simple Example Job
Submitted jobs typically consist of compiled C, C++, or Fortran code. They sometimes also consist of Python or Java Code. You can, however, submit Linux bash scripts as jobs. In this example, we will create a simple BASH script, submit it to the HPC general access queue, and view the output.
Start by logging into the HPC via SSH. In your home directory, create or upload a file named
moab_example.sh with the following contents:
echo "------------------------------------------------------"
echo "-n 'Job is running on node '; cat $PBS_NODEFILE"
echo "------------------------------------------------------"
echo "MOAB: the queue manager (qsub) is running on $PBS_O_HOST"
echo "MOAB: this job was submitted to the queue: $PBS_O_QUEUE"
echo "MOAB: this job is actually running on the queue: $PBS_QUEUE"
echo "MOAB: working directory is: $PBS_O_WORKDIR"
echo "MOAB: execution mode is: $PBS_ENVIRONMENT"
echo "MOAB: job identifier is: $PBS_JOBID"
echo "MOAB: job name is: $PBS_JOBNAME"
echo "MOAB: node file is: $PBS_NODEFILE"
echo "MOAB: current home directory is: $PBS_O_HOME"
echo "MOAB: PATH = $PBS_O_PATH"
echo "------------------------------------------------------"
echo "-n 'Job is running on node '; cat $PBS_NODEFILE"
echo "------------------------------------------------------"
echo ' '
echo ' '
When submitted, this example BASH script will simply output some environment variables that exist in the HPC cluster. If you were to
attempt to run this script in the terminal directly (
chmod +x moab_example && ./moab_example.sh, it will most likely hang. This is because
the environment variables ($PBS_...) are only available while the job is running in MOAB.
To submit the job, use the
msub command. We will pass in two flags,
-N to give the job a name, and
-q to specify which queue
we wish to submit to:
msub -q genacc_q -N mytestjob moab_example.sh
If the job submits successfully, you will see a number printed to the output. This is the JOB ID number. You can use this number to track the status of the job. Refer to our MOAB Job Management for commands you can run to monitor the status of the job in MOAB. For this example, we will wait a few moments for the job to execute and finish. You will know that the job has finished when you see two new files appear in your home directory that look something like the following:
-rw------- 1 cam02h cam02h 0 Dec 2 11:50 mytest.e6852974
-rw------- 1 cam02h cam02h 782 Dec 2 11:50 mytest.o6852974
The file that starts with
mytest.e... contains any errors that occured during script execution. The
mytest.o... contains the standard output. If we look at the
contents of this file (
more mytest.o...), we will see something similar to the following:
Job is running on node hpc-23-20
MOAB: the queue manager (qsub) is running on moab.local
MOAB: this job was submitted to the queue: genacc_q
MOAB: this job is actually running on the queue: genacc_q
MOAB: working directory is: /panfs/storage.local/genacc/home/cam02h
MOAB: execution mode is: PBS_BATCH
MOAB: job identifier is: 6852974.moab.local
MOAB: job name is: mytest
MOAB: node file is: /opt/torque/aux//6852974.moab.local
MOAB: current home directory is: /panfs/storage.local/genacc/home/cam02h
MOAB: PATH = /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
Job is running on node hpc-23-20
If this were an actual program (C, C++, Fortran, Python, Java), the output file would contain any output that the program generated during execution.
Useful MOAB command line flags
In the example above, we used the
-N and
-q command line flags to specify the name and queue for the job, respectively. There are other flags
that may be useful for your job as well:
|What it Means
-N [name]
|The name to give the job. This will affect what the output and error files are named
-q [queue]
|Which queue to submit the job to
-j oe
|Join the output and error messages into a single file
-m abe
|Send an email* when the job is aborted, or begins and ends (use any combination of a, b, or e)
-l walltime=00:00:00
|How long you think the job will take to run**. This helps schedule your job more efficiently
-l nodes=xx
|How many nodes you would like your job to run on simultaneously**
-F "\"arg1 arg2 ... argN\""
|flags to pass parameters arg1, arg2, ... argN to your submit script***
* The system will use the email address registered with your RCC account
** You are limited to the nodes and maximum run time allocated to whichever queue you submitted to
*** This is particularly useful when you want to submit multiple jobs using the same submit script but with different input parameters. See here for a simple example
For a complete list of command line flags, refer to the qsub manpage (
man qsub).
Creating a submission script
Often times, you will want to use the same job name and parameters to run your job. For this reason, it is best to create a submission script
for your job. Refer to the example file (
moab_example_submit.sh) below:
#MOAB -N "my_super_job"
#MOAB -l nodes=8
#MOAB -j oe
#MOAB -q genacc_q
#MOAB -m abe
#MOAB -l walltime=00:00:10
This submission script tells MOAB to name the job my_super_job, run it on eight nodes, combine the error and output streams into a single file, use the General Access queue, send an email when the job starts and stops, and that we think the job will take 10 seconds to run.
Save and execute this script in your home directory, and set it to be executable:
chmod +x moab_example_submit.sh. Then you can queue the job
anytime you wish by running:
msub moab_example_submit.sh
This will run the job with the same parameters every time.

Barack Obama on Mt. Rushmore?
Barack Obama on Mt. Rushmore?
If you have ever doubted just how big a fool Al Sharpton is, then you need to check out his latest idea. He seems to think Barack Obama should be added to Mt. Rushmore, along with George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt.
Here are Al's reasons for wanting to bestow such an honor on the nation's 44th best President:
And he stopped two wars and the whole question of finance reform on Wall Street and health care. I mean, he has done some concrete things. I can, again, the reason I raised Teddy Roosevelt is that a lot of people could say that Teddy Roosevelt was more of a character than a transformative president. I can name, literally, things that President Obama has done. Now, I'm going to say that if Teddy Roosevelt is the measure, I think it strengthens the case for President Obama.
Could someone tell Al Sharpton that we still have thousands of troops in Iraq, and tens of thousands in Afghanistan? As for Obamacare, it has extended health coverage to people who should have obtained it on their own by placing financial burdens on those who work and take care of themselves. Yes, what a wonderful legacy to leave!
In the same interview, Abby Huntsman adds that, "Obama was the first black president. That is something that will always be remembered." Well, I'm not so sure. Is he the first black President, or the 44th white President? Should we then add the first female President, the first Catholic President (John F. Kennedy), the first Jewish President, etc.?
Here's a great idea: if anyone else is ever added to Mount Rushmore, let it be a truly great President, not someone who can't even hold a candle to Jimmy Carter!

There is not ONE good reason to give a very wealthy university any kind of tax break.
The council members that voted yes are complete idiots.
I'm sure the president of the United States is really concerned about what a crusty old woman and bunch of yahoos up in Syracuse think. Ha!
How can she possibly run the business of the city and hold another job?
When I vote, I like my officials to be full time. I don't need a mayor that's running around the state yakking, I need a mayor that is at City Hall from early in the morning until late at night. If Miss Miner has greater political ambitions she should resign and move on. She can't have it both ways.
Nice house. Horrible neighborhood.
I'd pay $70,000.00 for it.
Fortunately for Mr.Boeheim, the President overshadowed this news.
The minute these people were forced to have the trial in Syracuse, was the day it was over for them.
This is a city built on corruption and favors. The judge knew what he had to do.
Well, in case any of you are interested, there are some new condos
right smack where that happened and they only cost about a half million
bucks. They should be selling like hot cakes!
Anbody that would pay $500,000 to live on South Salina Street should have their head examined.
It's ugly, smelly, and has trashy people everywhere. R u kidding me?
But it's NOT downstate, it's in Syracuse and it's probably not worth a third of what they're asking.
There's more crime on that street then you can imagine.
To begin with, there is nothing remotely "Italian Villa" about this property.
But, what bothers me the most is, why do these people have such tacky-cheap furniture
in this house?
1. He will put less than a million into it, not $3million. He always does the crappiest conversions.
2. Of course COR got the Inner Harbor deal, they are part of the mayor's family.
Do your due dilligence!
Who in their right mind would pay that much for a house in THAT neighborhood?
Please have the new owner call me, I've got swamp-land to sell them too.
First of all, we all should be praying that this con-artist attorney named Minor doesn't get re-elected.
1. She has no idea what a mayor is supposed to do for city.
2. She is corrupt as Lee Alexander minus the looks and charm. I'd be happy to have him back.
3. She is mean and vindictive and abuses her power almost daily.
4. She lives a lie.
These kids are brave and they have had enough of our broken system. Unfortunately, Syracuse is
even worse than broken - the levels of corruption are endless.
To all of you knuckle-head sports freaks that are defending Fine.
The man is a sexual pervert and his wife has admitted it....this is done deal. Hopefully he will be arrested, convicted, and thrown in jail with that monster of a wife.
What exactly is this mayor and her henchman trying to hide?
Why are they getting in the way of this investigation?
We know she loves the attention; that's the whole reason she like public office. But anyone and
everyone with any knowledge of city hall, knows that she is corrupt as they come. And the whole
relationship between her and the police department should be investigated next.
If we were reading this about some small city in the south or in Europe, we would be pointing the finger of corruption.
Hey geniuses,
Why should anyone trust the corrupt Syracuse police department? especially when they swept the story under the rug in 2005. They won't incriminate themselves.
HEADLINE: Corruption At City Hall Is Alive And Well.
Move over Lee Alexander, Stephanie Miner makes you look like a school-kid.
"Kerry Mannion, the son of Miner's husband, is vice president of commercial real estate sales and leasing at COR Brokerage, a division of COR Development. COR and its partners have contributed thousands of dollars to Miner's campaign coffers"
Our mayor is clueless and corrupt. We need a Giuliani who can get tough and get this scum off the streets.
"bright observer" = Stupid.
Fine job Mayor Miner is doing. Where is she while the city becomes worse than ever? Day after day the crime escalating and nobody at City Hall is even discussing it.
If the Post Standard was a real newspaper, they would be inquiring about this problem that has gotten much worse under the 'so-called' Miner administration. That woman should be ashamed of her lack of accomplishment.

The "Transograph" was invented by Harry L. Page of Valparaiso , Indiana . Page, an engineer, had been investigating various aspects of dentistry in which he was interested since the 1930's. In the 1950's, he became keenly interested in the study of mandibular movement and articulator design. The "Transograph" was based on Page's concepts of anatomy, occlusion and mandibular movement. Page did not believe in a transverse horizontal axis, so he split the axis by dividing the upper member into two separate parts. "Transographics" suggests that each condyle rotates around different axes and this is provided by means of the "Spit-axis"; that is, no solid connection between the condylar elements. The condylar controls are positioned in the instrument anatomically and can be at different horizontal and vertical planes. Consequently, the right and left condylar controls were only joined by the mounted maxillary cast. By using a pin-in –sleeve rather than the ball type condylar controls, the Transograph is claimed to be able to record all gross and functional envelopes of motion by using a series of occlusal records at progressively wider openings. The axis locator was employed as a transfer bow and actually became the lower member of the instrument. The angle of the lower member is set to the mandibular angle to insure the correct occlusal curve. The most unusual feature of the "Transograph" was its flexibility which "simulated the flexure of the mandible as it compensates for the split axis.
Dr. Edgar N. Starcke's articles in the Journal of Prosthodontics have more information on the history of articulators.

First, the set up was super easy. I have a lot of practice, but still sometimes it takes sometime. I banged out a 1.1 ohm set up with .5 x 1mm ribbon and a 3/32 ss rope wick in no time. The deck is great to work on.
Next, after putting the "pie" insert in place and securing it, the vape was amazing. The way that piece reduces the chamber is just cool and really brings out the flavor. Tons of vapor production and flavor.
Finally, the thing looks beautiful on top of the RM Pulse. It is one of the best looking set ups I own. 310 as always your delivery times and customer service are top notch. I can't wait to get another one of the amazing atty's.

How about outside of Chinatown? The only one that I can think of is Cafe China.

Shake Shack's cannoli custard. Too bad it's not available every day of the week!
Hi everyone,
I have family coming in from out of town and I've been tasked with finding a nice Chinese restaurant for lunch or dinner, for roughly 10+ people. Does anyone know any Chinese restaurants appropriate for a nice celebratory meal?
Hi everyone,
I love baguettes but as fellow baguette lovers know, one is just too much for one and the rest isn't the same a day later. So does anyone know where I can buy demi-baguettes in the city? FYI FP Patisserie in UES will let you purchase just the half, Le Pain Quotidien will not. Anywhere else?
Does anyone know anything about this beyond what the website says?
Restaurant Week, without the hype?

Noisy. We were ignored for sixty minutes while waiting for a larger party to be served. Half food served and then the rest of our party had to wait even longer. One meal was so late, we had to cancel it. Food was tasty, but overall unsatisfactory experience.

My mushroom app and fettucine alfredo came out to $34 and change, including a $5 delivery fee (though to their credit they did mention the fee on the phone when I ordered). I wouldn't have minded the rather steep price that much if the food had felt worth it. The mushroom app was alright though definitely not great -- bland but showed some promise. The fettucine though were just flavorless. they created an interesting interplay of the senses: I could see what I assume was the cream sauce but couldn't manage to taste it and there seemed to be a complete lack of any other seasoning. I realize the flavor of this dish is meant to be subtle but this just seemed like over-cooked ramen that without the flavoring packet. The person who took order on the phone seemed a bit haughty but the delivery was rather quick and the food arrived hot. My roommate mentioned that their sushi is much better and perhaps the restaurant redeems itself if one eats there but my experience with this delivery was anything but good.

Read Poems by
Caroline Falzon
God blessed us with a son who is turning four today,
Everyday we see His love in you, true as the purest gem.
from His all knowing heart, His very best He sends,
May He keep you always in his tender loving care.
We thank God for all you our son, we're glad for all you tend,
From a strong yet tender heart and a core that never ends.
As cute as a bug, you are so precious to hug,
A dear child who brings out the sunshine to those who are near.
How adorable and loving with every morn you turn to be,
How charming and exciting as into the big world your eyes peep,
The warmth in our hearts you keep so alive,
Treasured are the memories you are engraving in our book of life.
Our vows we pledge that by your side we'll always walk,
Our anchor we'll throw to keep you safe from any storm,
Our love will nourish you through the path that you will take,
Our promise to cherish that our bond will never break.
When your eyes are shining brightly it is so nice to see,
That one day you will for certain become all you're meant to be,
You are to simply everyone a special little man,
Who brings the kind of happiness that nothing is greater than.
Everyday you bring to us all the joy that life could hold,
you're such a special little boy from the day you were born,
Like teardrops on the roses kissed by the morning dew,
You're the treasure that gives us pleasure in everything you do.
Happy Birthday to our dear son who couldn't be more loved,
We turn to God each day and night to keep you safe and sound,
We join you in your night prayers as to the guardian angel you call,
Please protect and keep your light on for this cute little boy.
May God Bless you our sweet angel
Especially on this day,
You are our masterpiece that only God can create.
And as the candles, your breathe will blow,
Our endless wishes,
Like shooting stars, your life forever will glow.
May God Bless you Today, Tomorrow and Always
In Peace, In Health, In Happiness and In Love.
with love
Mum and Dad

Five Quick Steps to Planning Successful Programs
Programming is one of the many benefits that an honor society or chapter offers to its membership. Programs may be anything from raising money for a charitable organization to an elaborately organized research event with presenters, posters and meals. Utilize these steps and additional tips to discover how to begin engaging your members through creative programming.
Step one: Find out what members wantPeriodically, your developing honor society should conduct surveys to assess member satisfaction, evaluate program needs and learn what is most important to members. Online surveys have become the most accessible and user-friendly evaluation tools available. There are several options available, such as SurveyMonkey, QuestionPro and Surveygizmo.
After you have selected which tool you want to utilize, download/access an active member roster from the honor society's files to see how many members you will be contacting and if there is anyone without an e-mail address.
A few additional tips:
Step two: Identifying volunteersBefore scheduling an event, ensure that an adequate number of volunteers are willing and available to assist with the planning. The honor society bylaws allow the board of directors to appoint additional committees to complete the work of the honor society. Consider appointing a program planning committee to help carry out the work required for your next program.
Where can you find volunteers? If you included a question in your survey to indicate members' interest in volunteering for an upcoming program, be sure to check the results to see if anyone responded. Another option is to ask members to complete an interest inventory at the induction when they are most excited about joining and belonging to the honor society. The interest inventory should include questions about members' skills, experiences and interests so you can later match individuals' skills and interests with the honor society committees and planning tasks that need to be completed and invite them to participate.
Step three: Planning the programPlanning the program is going to take time. Consider these first steps in event planning:
You should also consider additional event logistics such as insurance and collection of registration payments.
Step four: Communication As you finalize event details and logistics, communicate the event to members early and often. Remember to keep the communication methods diverse. In order for your event to be successful, plan to utilize printed, online and in-person communication methods.
Follow these easy communication tips:
Step five: Analyze the resultsAsk attendees to reflect on the event experience and relay suggestions back to the group. You can utilize another electronic survey or provide a simple form to complete at the event. For tips on crafting an effective evaluation, visit: http://eventplanning.about.com/od/productionentertainment/a/speaker_eval.htm.
The survey should be short and easy to return. Summarize the findings from the survey, share them with the planning committee and archive them for the meeting or planning committee.
Utilize the lessons learned to begin planning the next chapter program. What worked well? What could have been better?
Be sure to send thank-you notes to all parties involved with the event. This includes sponsors, speakers, volunteers, committee members and anyone that helped to make the event a success.

The Knee Cryo/Cuff combines the therapeutic benefits of controlled compression to minimize hemarthrosis and swelling, and cold to minimize pain. The cuff is anatomically designed to completely fit the knee providing maximum cryotherapy. The Knee Cryo/Cuff is available in three sizes for adults and is also available in a pediatric size designed for children 1 - 7 years of age. A sterile Knee Cryo/Cuff is available in adult medium and large sizes. NON-MOTORIZED.
All Cryo/Cuffs can be ordered as a single cuff, or with a cooler (including a tube assembly and insulation disk). The Cooler is available separately and can be used with any model in the Cryo/Cuff line.
A Knee Cryo/Cuff SC (self-contained) is available that eliminates the need for a cooler — the cuff is filled directly with water and ice.

Questions on Aircast Knee Cryo/Cuff w/Cooler
- From Oliver at 6/9/2010 3:58 PM
- I just had a total knee replacement done on May 18th. I heard about your Aircast Cryo Cuff and it appears there is more than 1 model to choose from for the knee. I have a lot of swelling and stiffness in my right leg. Which model do you recommend I get?
- Either model of the Aircast Cryo/Cuff will work for your condition. One is motorized and uses a pump to pump cold water into the cuff to reduce swelling in your knee. That model is called the Aircast Cryo/Cuff IC - this model requires a prescription. The other version listed on this page is the original Aircast Cryo/Cuff that uses gravity rather than the pump. It does not require a prescription. They both do the same thing, but the motorized version is more convenient.
- From clau at 7/24/2010 9:33 AM
- I have the Aircast Cryo/Cuff Cooler but missplace the cuff. Can i buy it separately? If so how much is it?
- Yes, all the cuffs are $69.99ea besides the shoulder. The shoulder cuff is $84.99
Follow the link below for more information:
- From Samantha at 10/6/2010 7:35 PM
- Does the cuff provide cold water to the front of the knee or also to the back of the knee I can't tell from the picture.
- The Aircast Cryo/Cuff for the knee provides total contact cold therapy. The entire cuff fills with cold water to provide maximum cold therapy to the area.
- From Samantha at 10/6/2010 8:01 PM
- Does this include the cooler with the 30 second on/off cycle? Or would there be a different type of cooler that the knee aircast goes with?
- No this is the standard gravity unit. The Aircast Cryo/Cuff IC Motorized and Cuffs provides the integrated compression to the cuff. See the link below to direct you to the page.
- From Cheryl Caris at 11/22/2010 12:57 PM
- How do you drain the water from the cuff?
- Hello Cheryl,
Here are the steps:
1. Empty the cooler
2. Put the empty cooler on the ground with the lid off, and squeeze the cuff so that all the water goes from the cuff and into the cooler
3. Empty the cooler again.
4. Repeat if needed.
- From Tom at 2/10/2011 1:30 PM
- I have the Cryo/Cuff w/Cooler for my wrist and I was wondering what's the use of the plug that comes with it?
- It sounds like you have a Aircast Cryo/Cuff IC Motorized and Cuff Automatic Integrated Compression and Cryo Therapy System. If you have a plug, the water can be pumped rather than relying on the gravity pump aspect of the non IC systems.
- From Gavan at 3/7/2011 7:06 PM
- I have a Cryo/Cuff cooler manual version with knee cuff. The "O" ring on the tube that connects to the cuff is perished and dried and does not seal anymore. What is the size of the "O" ring to obtain a replacement, do you have replacements?
- Gavan,
Due to FDA regulations we are unable to give you the information on the O ring for the Cryo Cuff however; you can replace the cooler or the tube through customer care at 800-553-6019.
- From Lise Lamadeleine at 5/16/2011 5:24 PM
- How do you measure for the size.
Measure the circumference of the thigh, six inches above the top of the knee cap. Use that number and match it up with the sizing chart.
- From ra at 6/24/2011 1:03 PM
- The instructions show me how to use the cuff. How do I drain the cuff after use?
- Hey Ra,
Take the whole thing to think sink. Then with the cooler empty, unscrew the hose from the cooler. Then make sure the Cuff is connected to the hose. Squeeze the cuff and you will force the water out of the cuff, through the hose, and into the sink.
- From David at 7/11/2011 3:16 PM
- The cuff will not drain - what can prevent the cuff from draining? Tried squeezing the cuff from above but something is preventing the water from escaping. Any ideas?
- Do you have the blue hose connected to the pad? The hose must be connected for the water to drain back into the cooler.
- From Carolyn fudge at 4/13/2013 11:21 PM
- can you provide the insurance code to use?
- Hello, Carolyn -
The code is E0218.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
- From Janice Attree-Smith at 5/1/2013 10:05 AM
- My knee due to inflammation is 22 inches. What would be the best fit - the medium or the large?
- The medium will fit and the cuff wont be loose as your swelling starts to reduce.
- From Chris Janowicz at 7/11/2013 10:02 AM
- I'm getting water leakage between the hose and the cuff. Is it time to replace the hose and/or the cuff? I've got one more knee surgery scheduled for next fall. Really like the Aircast knee cuff cooler system!
- Hello Chris,
Give us a call so that we can determine where the leak is. We have replacement parts available online, and via the phone. Your Aircast has a 6 month warranty.
Thanks for Contacting Donjoy.
- From Thomas at 8/11/2013 8:57 AM
- I have misplaced the electrical cord that goes from the AC outlet to the top of the cooler. Is this a generic piece? where can I purchase a replacement?
- Hello,
We have the power supply available on betterbraces.com
Thanks for Contacting Donjoy.
- From Annmarie at 8/26/2013 7:22 PM
- Is the cyro cuff good to wear while recovering from a MCL sprain? If so, can it be worn on elliptical machine?
- It is great to reduce pain and swelling, it would be recommended for post exercise, not during.
- Is the cyro cuff good to wear while recovering from a MCL sprain? If so, can it be worn on elliptical machine?
- From Nadia Lynch at 12/12/2013 5:29 AM
- How do you fill the cuff with water?
- Nadia
Thank you for contacting DJO. Lift the cooler 15 inches above the cuff to fill it with water. If you have an air vent on the lid lift that while lifting the cooler. After the cuff is filled set the cooler even or slightly higher than the level of the cuff so that the water does not drain out of it. When the water in the cuff is warm, set the cooler on the ground to allow it to drain back into the cooler
- From Mary at 3/12/2014 8:11 PM
- I have a patella that moves around too much. I also have mild arthritis. The orthopedist removed some fluid and injected cortisone, and I have been going to rehab. Afterwards, the therapist uses a compression + cold machine, then tapes my knee to stabilize it. However, the tape rolls up and comes off within a day or two. I still have some pain. What product(s) would you recommend? I play golf and bowl on a regular basis and want to be comfortable.
- Mary
Take a look at the Tru-Pull Light. http://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-tru-pull-lite
This brace is a light weight brace that has a lateral buttress that will pull your kneecap into the correct position and keep it tracking in it's normal pattern. This would be a better choice than the taping because you can alway adjust the tension of the pull with the straps of the brace.
- From Jan at 3/27/2014 5:50 PM
- What you recommend for a Baker cyst that leaked and caused a great deal of inflammation and pain
- Thank you for your question. A neoprene sleeve would provide you with support and compression that may have with the inflammation and pain associated with a Baker's Cyst. A brace such as the DonJoy Performer Knee Support or the DonJoy Deluxe Open Knee Support would be appropriate.
- From Don at 5/28/2014 11:04 AM
- I just had a total knee replacement and I have the aircast motorized chiller. I am planning on doing a liitle travel in the car and was wondering where I can find the power supply that would work on the cigerette lighter in my car.
- We do not have a power supply for the car. I can tell you that the current power supply uses Input: 120vlts@60hrz 18watts
Output: 8.5v DC, and 900 mA
Note: Output is unregulated DC. Output voltage at nominal line voltage should be 7VDC at 1.6Amps.
- From Cynthi at 7/10/2014 1:31 PM
- With the Gravity Aircast Cryo Cuff for my knee, after filling with the water, will I be able to disconnect the hose and work, then change the water every hour or so after?
- Yes you can do that
- From Shanti Jain at 7/12/2014 5:45 PM
- I just had knee surgery, bought your Aircast Cryo Cuff, question, to keep it on all night for constant coldness, should the cooler be at the knee level, below or above knee level?
- Shanti
The cooler should be at the level of the knee or slightly higher
- From Misty at 10/13/2014 10:10 PM
- Once the cuff is filled with water, how long does it remain chilled? Or if it were filled with hot water, how long does the cuff remain warmed?
- Misty
The cuff will stay cold for about 20-30 minutes
- Once the cuff is filled with water, how long does it remain chilled? Or if it were filled with hot water, how long does the cuff remain warmed?
- From Knee at 4/25/2015 10:39 AM
- After only 4 days of intermittent usage the motor will not power on. It is Saturday morning and your product support is closed until Monday. How can I troubleshoot and fix this now rather than allow my knee to swell for 2 days?
- Matthew
Sorry for the late reply. If you unit is new and it no longer turns on when plugged in the unit needs to be replaced. YOu can take it back to where you received it or call DJO Customer Care at 800-336-6569
- From Brenda at 5/14/2015 3:57 PM
- Scheduled for ACL reconstruction. Pre surgery measurement 6" above patella is 18.5." Which size do you recommend. Small or med? I want to make sure I get proper compression and the ability to use during recovery and later on if needed.
- Brenda
The medium will work

If you stayed up to watch the marathon Braves/Pirates game, the one that lasted 19 innings, you kind of know how most people feel about waiting for the debt ceiling deal to be made. It's been long. And no one was quite sure how it was going to end.
And if you saw the end of that Braves/Pirate games – a controversial tag at home plate where the ump called a runner safe who wasn't – you know exactly how folks feel now that the debt ceiling deal is nearly resolved. It feels tainted. It's unsatisfying. You almost want a do over even though it isn't possible. And you feel like someone just made a decision in order to call it a day (with apologies to Umpire Jerry Meals for being compared to members of Congress).
Whoever made the call, it's done. Of sorts.
The Senate and House are expected to vote today on a
throw together strategy to avoid a default on the debt ceiling (more on what the debt ceiling is here). The Senate will vote first, followed by a vote in the House.
And – I'm not making this up – there is expected to be a filibuster in the Senate because, well, why wouldn't there be?
The Republicans in the Senate still aren't satisfied with the proposal. But there's clearly also no chance of pushing anything else through, hence, the filibuster. In plain speak: there are a lot of Senators that don't want to vote for an increase in the debt ceiling but they have nothing else to offer.

Sailors cruising in the Mediterranean this spring are likely to feel a little cramped for room. Turkey, without the three month limit on visitors to Europe (a three month 'revolving door' visa), has long been a haven for those who want to escape from EU regulations.
Sailing the Turkish coastline - it doesn't get much better
In addition red tape and expensive berthing has been chasing would-be Greek Island cruisers to the more friendly Turkish coastline. While Turkey's new regime is a bit of a game-changer, there IS a way.
As Turkey glides closer and closer to Europe as part of its application process for joining the EU (but who would want to right now?), the country's regulations also drift closer and closer to those of the EU.
Rather than Turkey's old 90 day visa which could be purchased back-to-back or renewed before the expiry date, from 1st February 2012, visas now lasts for 180 days, but visitors, including cruising sailors, are only be able to remain in Turkey for a total of 90 days during that period. This is causing a necessary flight from the Turkish coastline for some sailors.
The new visa rules are also hoped to combat the illegal worker problem in Turkey where it is believed that the number is approximately 1,500,000 people, a large majority of whom are refugees trying to reach Europe but unable to cross the borders. This is a major problem for the Turkish economy and increasing unemployment amongst Turkish people.
But where do the cruising sailors go? All members of the EU also have a '90 day in 180' rule for visiting sailors, so, while Turkey remains outside the EU, presumably a cruising sailor can spend three months in Turkey and three months in the EU countries of the Med.
But there is another way.
For those who wish to stay in Turkish waters for more than 90 days during the Spring, Summer and Autumn, the only option is to apply for a residence permit.
A Residence Permit? Yes, Residence Permits are affordable and not so difficult to obtain. They relate to the contract that a cruising sailor has with a marina in Turkey, and all details are available from marinas, who are understandably enthusiastic about the idea.
There are some conditions which some cruising sailors may not like, and this revolves around the ability of cruising sailors to support themselves while they are in Turkey. If they are retired, a 'certificate of pension' needs to be supplied (and translated) or a bank statement proving that the person has a deposit at a Turkish bank equivalent to US$500 per person per month of the visa duration.(For example: If applying for a 12 month resident permit, then you need to deposit & keep US$6000 in the bank per person.)
But it does mean that your yacht and you are able to remain in Turkey for a full twelve month period (the most common marina contracts in Turkey are for 12 months), flying home as desired and leaving the boat in good hands in Turkey.
If you want to stay a further 12 months , you could be asked to pay health insurance. Seeing your own home health insurance is likely to have been cancelled or put on-hold, this is not particularly onerous, and costs around 282TL per month (about $150). Your 'home address' for the year would remain at the marina, even though you may cruise up and down the Turkish coastline or sail further afield.
But step No. 1 is talking to your Turkish marina about a year's contract, which is not too much more expensive than a six or nine months contract.

This week I flipped through my copy of Internet Retailing and happened upon this article on how brands can build relationships with customers, inspire trust and engender loyalty.
As I read, it struck me how well video plays into many of the strategies outlined in the article. If you're looking to connect with your consumer, it's the perfect thing to add into the mix. So, I thought I'd pull out a few of the ideas the article mentioned and explain how video can be used to achieve them.
1. Marry Content With Commerce
"The latest thinking suggests that putting content alongside commerce is key in giving shoppers reasons to return to a website. David Walmsley, director of M&S.com, says it was crucial for its new site to weave content and commerce together. 'For us it was critical that we didn't create something that could feel like a content ghetto: turn left to shop and right to read,' he told InternetRetailing Conference 2014."
Often, when brands use video they immediately think: YouTube. And, of course, there's many good reasons to upload your videos to YouTube. The mistake occurs, however, when this becomes the entire video strategy.
If your content exists in isolation – how can you expert it to convert? Your content should sit right alongside your product. It's vital that you embed videos directly on your website – don't just leave them gathering dust on YouTube. Only then do your visitors have a reason to keep coming back to you (not YouTube).
Cosmetic retailer Illamasqua, provides online video tutorials so that visitors learn how to use the make up properly. The videos are embedded on site (rather than uploaded to YouTube), so that the audience can then go on to buy whatever products are featured in the video. Plus, by creating an online video hub right on the website they attract more visitors straight to site, and keep them coming back for more.
David Walmsley sums it up pretty nicely, so I think it's worth repeating: don't direct visitors one way to access your content, and the other to buy your product.
Sound good to you? You can learn more about how Illamasqua use video as part of their marketing strategy here.
2. Find New Ways To Communicate The Brand
"'Our objective is to be a destination of choice,' says David Kohn, head of multichannel at Snow + Rock. "What we stand for is being the ultimate authority on products and advice."… In store, that means giving helpful and expert advice. Online, that means finding new ways to advise."
Video is a fantastic way to bring the expertise of your in store staff, online. The key is to provide helpful information that's of real value to your visitor. They're more likely to trust an honest, personal review than an overt sales pitch.
It's something that baseball bat store Justbats.com have pretty much nailed. On each product page the team provides bat reviews and information so that the visitor can be sure that they're buying exactly what they need.
Interested in learning more? Check out our full case study to learn how Justbats.com use video to improve the customer experience.
3. Do the unexpected with social media
"[Mulberry], best known for its handbags, came up with a tongue-in-cheek video in which relatives vie to outdo each other in giving Christmas Day presents to one particularly lucky young woman….'our tongue-in-cheek Christmas video #WinChristmas has been viewed well over one million times,' said Mulberry chairman Godfrey Davis in the company's interim results, published in December."
Remember that YouTube is a social platform. So be social. The YouTube audience is there to be entertained, so the videos you upload here should be top of the funnel content only. The "tongue in cheek" Mulberry campaign is the perfect example of a brand using YouTube, and using it well.
But YouTube isn't the only social network on which you can use video to great effect. Add video into your Twitter and Facebook feeds and you'll see a lot more engagement. For example, we see around a 4 times the amount of engagement when we post video tweets, compared to text only.
Bonus: Use The Right Tools
Now that you've got a better understanding of where and how to add video to your website, the last step is to use the proper tools so that the video will achieve it's ultimate goal: to convert.
Use a call to action
We always recommend using a call to action o so that the viewer knows what action they should take. It's important to display this call to action prominently on the page – you don't want them to miss it. The very best place to do this is within the video player itself – the very place their attention is already focused.
Use a reliable video host
If your videos don't play, they can't convert. Your videos should work on every device (mobile, tablet desktop), and should load quickly – even if viewers have slow Internet connections.
Secure your videos
Your videos should attract people to your your website – and not somewhere else. Be sure you have the proper video security in place so that your valuable videos are safeguarded against unauthorized downloads. Make sure your content works for you – and only you.

"The bride to be selected a classic, long, white menu to place in the napkins. Navy printing. Wonderful black and white engagement photo on the back. The quality is superb. The text and images are exquisite. As the mother of the groom, I appreciated the customer service. The text would not fit online, but I made a note about what I needed the menu to say and the designers had a proof ready in a day. I used live chat when I had questions. Fast, courteous service, helpful editing. Very accessible. I ordered 10 to test the product and then 220 when the bride to be LOVED them. Highly recommend."
"We used this for our wedding invitations and customized the silhouette color to Verbena to fit our wedding colors. I also asked Wedding Paper Divas to customize the wording since the site of our reception was different from the ceremony. The designer did this for me; no problem. We were married in Hawaii and the site of our ceremony was similar to the card design, which is why we picked this one. It's a beautiful, classic design, and simple enough not to distract from the wording of the invitation. I received a lot of compliments on these invitations and highly recommend them!"
"The response cards are perfect for our destination wedding. High quality paper and beautiful texture. We had additional information printed on the back with no problems. Love them."
"We used WPD for our wedding invitations and received lots of compliments. So it was an easy decision to use them for all our other paper needs. The menu looked very elegant in the Pearl Shimmer addition and the font went perfect with our romantic theme. Unfortunately, I made an error on the back of the menu and WPD graciously and quickly offered to reprint the correct version at no additional cost. They even rushed the order. I love working with WPD!"
"The colors and quality of the cards were awesome! They were exactly what I was wanting. The customer service was amazing as well!"

How to Please Your Parents
It sometimes feels like it is an impossible task to please your parents. If they aren't upset about one thing, they're just upset about another. However, keeping your parents happy is not as hard as it sounds! You can please your parents and develop a healthier, happier relationship by following a few simple steps. Read the following steps and learn how to please your parents.
1Be mature and responsible. If you act your age, you'll earn their respect and trust. If you act irresponsibly, your parents will be more stressed out and will try to control your actions more to keep you from doing something irresponsible, which is hard for both you and them.Ad
2Opt to spend time with them. Although at times it doesn't seem like it, your parents do want to have a good relationship with you. Work with your parents' schedule to actively set aside time to hang out. A good rule is to power off all WiFi or cell devices at this time. No distractions ensure quality time for strong relationship building. Outdoor activities or team-building exercises are some good places to start.
3Don't lie.
4Help out around the house. One of the most important things you can do is help out around the house. Your parents have a lot more to deal with than you do - work, household chores, taxes, etc. are constantly on their minds. Try taking a load off their plate by helping vacuum, empty the dishwasher, or even cook dinner a couple nights a week.
5If they ask you to do something, do it. Prompt behavior to clear instruction is perhaps the most simple way to gain extended trust. If you want extra favor in the future, build your good reputation now. In the adult world, this is called PR or Public Relations. While this may seem obvious, your parents will always be happier if you do something as soon as they ask you to do it. No one likes to constantly repeat themselves, and parents are no exception.
6Share your life with them. Even though they may seem busy, parents want to be included in your life. If they feel like you trust them enough to tell them about your friends and what is going on in your life, they will be happier too.
7If you get mad, talk about the problem in a mature way. Don't just start yelling at your parents. Instead, before you talk to them, think about why you are angry, what happened, and what you guys can do to fix it. Then, tell them that and listen to what they have to say.
8Tell your parents how much you appreciate all their hard work. Its most likely that they actually do a lot more for you than you realize.
9Whatever your parents ask...if its "can you take out the trash, can you clean your room," the answer is 'yes, mum/dad.' Don't say this in a sarcastic way, act as if it is no biggie. Do everything they ask of you; they're more likely to go easier on you in the future, and you'll learn new skills.Ad
We could really use your help!
- Don't lie to your parents, as they will probably lose their trust in you once they find out that you lied.
- Remember: be yourself. They will be proud of their child for being an individual and not being part of the crowd. Be a good child.
- Remember when you get mad if they tell you to do something, juts breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. It works!
- Don't overdo these steps, or they will find it creepy or see that you are up to something!
- Be very nice to your parents and use the tips above.

Home: USA : Illinois
Illinois WebcamsThe state of Illinois is dominated by one of the largest cities in the US, Chicago, with an imposing skyline and lakefront beaches that are perfect for a relaxing experience. If you ever get the chance to travel here you should definitely not miss the fine restaurants, the outstanding museums of the fantastic music clubs. The state is also home of the legendary Route 66, now filled with movie theatres and bits of history. The northern part of Chicago features the place known as the Magnificent Mile, where you can shop from the finest, most glittery locations in the country. Finally, a perfect day here should be completed by a visit to the Buddy Guy's Legends, which is perhaps the best blues venue in the entire country and has managed to impress every single visitor since its creation. All in all, Illinois is one of the best states to be, offering plenty of entertainment opportunities for every visitor.

"My wife Kelly and I spent several months getting used to the fact that Colin would have special needs beyond that which we experienced with our first two boys. We are learning every day. Colin has two older brothers, Mason and Mitchell, both of which truly adore him.
"We didn't tell them that Colin had Down syndrome until just a couple weeks ago. Kelly and I didn't know how to tell them or how to answer the questions that could come up.
"Once we explained, both were concerned and asked if Colin was going to be OK. We explained that Colin is going to be fine and he will still be able to steal your toys. We continued to explain the value of family and always being together and being there for each other no matter what. It's a love like no other and cannot be explained.
"I personally spent the first few months in denial. How could this happen to us?
"I cried on my ride to and from work. I prayed. I asked for answers. I just didn't understand. I felt as though I failed somehow.
"Boy, was I wrong! As the days rolled on, and I heard from more people about their kids with Down syndrome, and they were amazingly happy. They were truly happy and often explained how much love has been generated in their homes.
"My wife and I are truly blessed. We have three beautiful boys and a noisy house! Colin is a blessing and we wouldn't change a thing!
"Our experience, and what I've learned from other parents, has brought home the value of an organization like the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress. The information provided by MDSC to parents and the public about Down Syndrome, and their public advocacy, is a vital resource that deserves our support.
"I will be running the Boston Marathon this year for the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress, MDSC, and my goal is to raise $5,000 for the awareness of Down Syndrome. I have made this year's race a personal challenge, and I need your help. Anything you give is most appreciated… I know we are in tough times, but every dollar helps.
"Please help me do it for Colin and for all the other children like him.

Programming Windows Workflow Foundation: Practical WF Techniques and Examples using XAML and C#
Programming Windows Workflow Foundation: Practical WF Techniques and Examples using XAML and C#
Book Details
About This Book
- Add event-driven workflow capabilities to your .NET applications.
- Highlights the libraries, services and internals programmers need to know
- Builds a practical "bug reporting" workflow solution example app
Who This Book Is For
This book is for .NET developers who want to enhance their applications with flexible workflow capabilities using Microsoft Windows Workflow Foundation. The author assumes that you have read other texts on the overall architecture of WF and on WF application design strategies, and instead focuses on real-work implementation issues for C# developers.
Table of Contents
What You Will Learn
- Create an example "bug reporting" workflow solution using the techniques and skills gained from each chapter
- Understand what Windows WF is, and what it can do for you
- Learn about the runtime services available in Windows WF
- Author workflows with C#, and with XAML, the extensible application markup language
- Use the workflow compiler to better understand how WF uses code generation to produce classes from workflow markup
- Combine generated workflow code with our hand-written code to produce a workflow type
- Learn about the events fired by the workflow runtime during the life of a workflow instance
- Build workflows that accept parameters and communicate with a host process by invoking methods and listening for events
- Learn about each activity in the Windows WF base activity library; the control flow activities, communication activities, and transaction-oriented activities
- Learn about web service activities, rule-centric activities, and state activities
- Creating custom activities using both a compositional approach and a derivation approach
- Master the execution context, a vital ingredient for creating any robust activity
- Learn about the workflow runtime, workflow diagnostics, and the out-of-the-box services provided for WF by Microsoft.
- Using scheduling services, persistence services, and tracking services
- Select and configure the services needed for a wide variety of scenarios and environments
- Use local services for communication with a host process, and web service activities for communication across a network
- Uncover the queuing service used behind the scenes of a workflow to coordinate and deliver messages
- Create rules and conditions in Windows Workflow Foundation
- Understand the role of business rules in software development and see examples of how Windows WF's rules engine can take away some of the burden of rule development
In Detail
Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) is a technology for defining, executing, and managing workflows. It is part of the .NET Framework 3.0 and will be available natively in the Windows Vista operating system.
Windows Workflow Foundation might be the most significant piece of middleware to arrive on the Windows platform since COM+ and the Distributed Transaction Coordinator. The difference is, not every application needs a distributed transaction, but nearly every application does have a workflow encoded inside it.
In this book, K Scott Allen, author of renowned .NET articles at www.odetocode.com, provides you with all the information needed to develop successful products with Windows Workflow.
From the basics of how Windows Workflow can solve the difficult problems inherent in workflow solutions, through authoring workflows in code, learning about the base activity library in Windows Workflow and the different types of workflow provided, and on to building event-driven workflows using state machines, workflow communications, and finally rules and conditions in Windows Workflow, this book will give you the in-depth information you need. Throughout the book, an example "bug reporting" workflow system is developed, showcasing the technology and techniques used.

By the 1950s Norman was spinning his favorite big-band sounds on WIL-AM (now WRTH [1430 AM]) and racking up top rankings. The Old Chuckaroo began acquiring the accoutrements of celebrity: tailored clothing, a pink Cadillac and a gaggle of groupies.
"He thought he was a Casanova," remembers friend Mary Katz. Norman's young fans flocked on weekends to his sparsely furnished bungalow near Castlewood State Park. There, the highballs flowed and the chain-smoking big shot was in his full glory.
Norman later downplayed his party-hardy reputation. "He didn't want anybody to ever know he got a little high," recalls Ford. "To him, it was a show of weakness."
In 1954 Norman plunged over a 60-foot waterfall while row-boating on the Lake of the Ozarks. The boat landed on Norman's back, leaving him laid up in Barnes-Jewish Hospital for months. But he didn't let injury hamper him. Old photographs show Norman clutching his WIL microphone from his hospital bed, smartly coiffed and surrounded by women.
Norman, always the ham, dabbled in myriad mini-ventures and promotional stunts, and he reveled in flitting across town crowning high-school homecoming queens and hosting the Friday-night Miss Missouri pageant on KTVI (then Channel 36).
In 1956 the late-night talk show Norman's Nite Cap debuted. Skip Erwin, a freshly unemployed radio broadcaster, was producer.
"Chuck gave me two-thirds of the money [earned from the broadcast]. He did it to be a friend, but it was also smart," says Erwin, a current WGNU talk-show host. "He wanted me to be comfortable."
Nite Cap's guests ranged from Ray Charles to Missouri Governor James Blair to Teamsters leader Harold Gibbons. Norman had a nose for news, Erwin boasts, but network management bristled. Two years after the show began, Norman refused to devote the program purely to show biz, and he and Erwin split. From then on, Norman was sure of one thing: He'd never work for anyone again.
A Rebellious Frequency
WGNU-AM's switch flipped on one December morning in 1961, and it would forever be known as "Chuck Norman's station." Initially there were two financial backers, but strained relations among the trio led Norman to secure a permit for his own FM station three years later. That gamble turned nickels into gold.
WGNU-FM quickly became the top-rated St. Louis radio station, and within ten years of its launch, Norman was entertaining lucrative buyout offers. Already in his sixties, Norman decided to cash in his chips. He made WGNU-AM all-talk and sold WGNU-FM to the now-defunct Doubleday Broadcasting for a reported $2 million.
WGNU-AM, or "Radio Free St. Louis," as Norman boastfully called it, became a rebellious little frequency. White supremacists, anti-Semites, bleeding hearts, race-baiters -- everybody got access to Norman's airwaves. WGNU was a publicity machine, sparking controversy for making controversy its raison d'être.
Norman treated the station like a cherished toy. In 1989 he rented the entire thirteenth floor of the Senate Building on Union Boulevard to house both his apartment and the studio. He listened all day long and hosted his own program well into his seventies. Norman didn't care if WGNU cranked a profit, and he readily dipped into personal reserves to avoid debt.
But Norman's death ushered in a host of worrisome changes.
Ex- and current staffers blame Esther Wright, an ordained minister who became Norman's devoted caregiver in the late '90s, taking him to doctor's appointments and on errands. "If he wanted her there at midnight, she'd be there," remembers Art Ford.
Norman's decision in 2000 to make Wright the station's general manger caused friction among many employees, especially those with more seniority and managerial experience. Irritation grew as Wright conducted daily prayer meetings -- and, some say, went to work erecting a fortress around Norman.
"Esther would not allow people to contact Chuck if he wasn't feeling well and would threaten termination if they did," explains a staffer who asked not to be named in this story. Wright says that's not true.
When Norman died, Wright imposed a freeze on cost-of-living raises and cut back engineers' hours, causing some to lose health benefits. Wright refuses to offer an explanation for the belt-tightening, saying only, "We were pretty much in limbo for awhile."
The most troubling changes at WGNU, devoted listeners say, are the sackings over the past year of nine longtime hosts. The ex-employees include such quintessential "Radio Free St. Louis" characters as National Alliance member Frank Weltner (a.k.a. "Couch Potato"), black supremacist Onion Horton and Horton's Jewish partner, Mark Kasen.
"WGNU has a real right-wing, religious kind of feel to it now," complains loyal listener La Vonda Staples. "It's not 'Radio Free St. Louis' anymore. It's 'let's-see-how-narrow-minded-and-stiff-necked-we-can-be.'"
The hosts say no reason was given for their dismissal. Kasen says he and Horton shelled out nearly $100,000 for their air-time privileges from 2001 to 2004. "Why they wanted to lose that money, I cannot tell you."
Wright won't discuss the matter but maintains that WGNU will stick with its talk shows. "I remember Chuck telling me, 'If you want to make money, you should probably turn it over to a gospel station.' But we didn't want to do that, because we like the talk format."

An infection in the breast is a problem that sometimes happens when you are breast-feeding. The medical term for a breast infection is mastitis.
Breast infections are usually caused by bacteria. It's common to have bacteria on the nipple and in a baby's mouth. If a nipple is injured and cracked, the bacteria may get into the milk ducts in the breast and cause an infection.
A number of things can make it easier for the breasts to get infected, such as:
Symptoms of an infection may include:
Your healthcare practitioner will ask about your symptoms and medical history. Your provider may examine your breast.
Make sure your baby is feeding well and that you are breast-feeding often. If the baby is not effectively removing the milk, a lactation specialist can help. Also, using a breast pump to keep milk flowing can help.
Your healthcare provider may prescribe antibiotic medicine to treat the infection. The sooner you start treatment, the sooner you will feel better. Prompt treatment may prevent other problems, like a breast abscess (a pocket of pus that will need to be drained).
The infection usually does not pass to the baby. If you are taking an antibiotic, the baby will get some of the medicine through the breast milk. That is usually not a problem for the baby. Talk to your child's healthcare provider if you have concerns about this.
If you are pumping milk for a sick or premature hospitalized baby when you develop mastitis, your healthcare provider may ask you to discard the milk collected from the infected side until you feel well. Your baby can still drink the milk from the uninfected side.

by Leona Lewis
Released: Nov 2009
Label: Syco Music UK
Two albums in, the Leona Lewis paradox appears to be undeniable. In theory, the British chanteuse's music is positively oozing with drama, whether of the lyrical (the desperate "Can't Breathe"), aesthetic (the soaring, backup-choir-featuring "My Hands") or vocal variety (sacrilege warning: she often out-Whitneys Mariah; and maybe even Whitney herself). And yet it is a distant drama, carefully contained by icy dance beats and almost too-pretty vocals. It doesn't make it less listenable, of course; it just makes us wonder if a popsicle meltdown might be in this drama queen's future.

Atlanta, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - Aaron Harrison scored 22 points and led a blistering display by Kentucky from the perimeter which carried the Wildcats to a 70-58 victory over Georgia in the second semifinal of the SEC Tournament.
Harrison drained 4-of-7 attempts from 3-point range and the Wildcats finished 9-of-16 from beyond the arc in a game they led from start to finish.
The win sets up a clash between the conference's top two teams in Sunday's final, with top-ranked Florida advancing earlier in the day with a hard-earned 56-49 decision over Tennessee.
Kentucky (24-9) got strong contributions from the other members of its heralded freshman class as well. James Young added 14 points on a 6-of-8 success rate from the field, Julius Randle tallied 12 points and 11 rebounds and Andrew Harrison -- Aaron's twin brother -- logged 12 points and nine assists.
Kenny Gaines and Charles Mann netted 13 and 12 points, respectively, in the loss, which likely put an end to third-seeded Georgia's (19-13) NCAA Tournament hopes.
Fresh off Friday's 85-67 blasting of LSU in the quarterfinals, Kentucky got off to a roaring start in this one as well. Young sank two 3-pointers to lead a 12-2 game-opening run, and Aaron Harrison buried one of his own around six minutes in to stake the Wildcats to an early 17-7 advantage.
The lead remained at 10 with six minutes to go in the half after Aaron Harrison knocked down another trey to make the score 28-18, but Georgia closed out the period on a strong note to close the gap. The Bulldogs went on a 9-3 burst following the basket to cut their deficit to four, and went into the break trailing by a 36-32 count when Cameron Forte found Marcus Thornton underneath for a buzzer-beating layup.
A Gaines layup with just over 15 minutes left pulled the Bulldogs within two at 41-39, but Kentucky began to separate shortly afterward behind a key 10-2 surge.
Another Aaron Harrison three preceded a Young putback that restored a double- digit margin for the Wildcats with under 12 minutes to go. After Gaines countered with a successful jumper, Randle converted a 3-point play with 9:23 to go for a 56-45 lead.
Up by eight with eight minutes remaining, the Wildcats put the game away with a 12-4 sequence. Andrew Harrison accounted for eight points during the flurry, which Young capped with a demoralizing dunk that put Kentucky up 68-52 with 2:13 left to play.

Making your car last through the recession
Globally, a lot has changed over the years. On one hand, the affordability factor for a vehicle has risen and on the other, the recession has made the maintenance of the car that much more difficult. Summer season is one of the challenging times for us and cars alike. It is paramount to take good care of cars now to avoid unforeseen hiccups that your machine may throw at you. Taking care of the car is important and if you are on the budget-adherence list then taking small steps towards the car's maintenance go a long way spreading happiness. A few things that anyone can do at home or for cheap are given below.
Tire pressure gauge is an extremely useful and economical tool for your car. A tire pressure gauge is easy to use by anyone and gives you an exact status of the air in the car's tire. It is also quite durable, consumes far less space and is shock resistant. Since excessive summer heat increases the pressure of the tire, a tire pressure gauge lets you know the ideal pressure the tire must have depending on your car's make. It is also great to reduce over-inflated tires that may cause hydroplaning when driveway is wet. I always use an Intercomp 4 inch glow in dark tire pressure gauge. This gauge has a unique and patented four way internal mechanism. It has a thumb operated bleeder valve for easy access and is extremely reliable.
If you love your car then taking care of its exhaust must also be significantly important to you. The car exhaust removes the engine's exhaust so that the engine does not catch fire due to lack of air. Needless to mention, it also removes Carbon Monoxide out. Keeping the car exhaust clean will ensure you have a safe ride and increase the longevity of the engine. An annual inspection of the car's exhaust is highly recommended. However, if you wish to do it yourself then ensure you have the adequate jacks and lifts. Check for corrosion, leaking joints and loose mountings. To clean the exhaust you can use engine oil as it is lubricated.
Similarly, it is easy to keep the car clean by giving it a daily dose of car wash. This helps in keeping the car cool despite the heat. Keep an eye on the oil level in the engine. As long as the oil is clean and appears sufficient on the measuring scale, you are good to go. If you need to change, you can remove the cap underneath to break out oil and then pour the adequate amount from atop. Also keep the car seat covers clean as you use them each time you hop in the car.
They say, your car is as good as its owner. Take good care of your car and it will take good care of you. Now, drive in happiness – all the way.

I came on board at KIOS-FM's first News Director in October 2007. Before coming to Omaha, I worked at commercial stations in Illinois. Here at KIOS, I anchor news, report, write and produce copy and sound for use on air and on the web. I also manage our social media sites on Facebook and Twitter.
My interest in broadcasting began at a young age, and I've always been interested in government and politics. I have a bachelor's degree in Radio-Television News from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale (www.siuc.edu), and a Master's Degree in Public Affairs Reporting from the University of Illinois-Springfield (www.uis.edu). While at SIUC, I worked as a news reporter at WSIU-FM in Carbondale (also a NPR station). I was a Statehouse Reporter for Illinois Public Radio in 2004.
When I'm not covering news, I watch a lot of sports. I'm a huge fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, my Southern Illinois University Salukis, and, of course, a Huskers fan. My husband, Scott, and I welcomed our first child, Russell, in January 2015. I'm the oldest of three girls, and the aunt of two nephews and a niece.
