The Morning Download: CIOs Frustrated by Apple iOS 6.1 Bugs
Microsoft: iPhone iOS 6.1 Has Bugs

A bug in Apple Inc.'s most recent iPhone update is causing issues for many businesses that allow the iPhone to run on their networks, CIO Journal's Clint Boulton reports. Some CIOs, frustrated by this turn of events, have asked employees to delay updating the OS on their iPhones, and have taken steps to limit the impact on their networks.
Microsoft Corp. said Tuesday that customers may want to block iOS 6.1 from their corporate networks after a flaw in the new operating system was found to overload Microsoft's Exchange email software with traffic. Apple on Thursday confirmed another flaw in iOS 6.1 that lets users skip the password lockscreen to access contacts, photos and other information. Apple said it is working on a patch for this flaw. Apple also said it would release a fix for the Exchange flaw.
To address the iOS 6.1 issue, Covanta Energy Corp. CIO Stuart Kippelman said he limited bandwidth for iPhone and iPad users accessing Exchange from 6.1. He also advised users not to upgrade to 6.1, and is preventing users from responding to calendar invitations via their iOS devices. Mr. Kippelman said it was "unacceptable" that Apple has taken more than two weeks to address the issue. "I think it puts a spotlight on how careful IT needs to be, even when everyone's expectations are the speed of adoption should be as fast as devices are created," he said.
Best-of-breed applications have their day. Cloud computing has made it financially and operationally viable for a company to pick the world's best application for every need, user and business case, Guest Columnist Byron Deeter writes. After more than a decade of software industry consolidation and the dominance of "all in one" software suites, it is becoming increasingly difficult to justify a suite purchase, he finds. Business users were previously forced to accept inferior products in the interest of seamless integration and simplicity that never materialized. Instead, all too often the attempts to install monolithic software suites ended in projects that ran well over budget, took months or years longer than planned and left business users with legacy options, if the projects ever went live at all, according to Deeter, a Bessemer Venture partner who has led investments in cloud-based companies. "The cloud, with its open, flexible … application architecture means that integration is far easier and cheaper to manage today," he says.
Broadband firms meet speed promises. American Internet users generally receive the download speeds that companies advertise, with fiber and satellite connections frequently outperforming expectations, according to a new report from the Federal Communications Commission. The study, conducted last September, found most companies offer download speeds during peak periods that roughly match what they advertise. Verizon Communications Inc.'s fiber connection, the company's fastest, averaged download speeds that were 118% of advertised download rates. Cablevision Systems Corp. came in at 115% and Comcast Corp. delivered 103%, the WSJ reports.
Lawmakers reintroduce Web sales tax legislation. Republican and Democratic lawmakers reintroduced legislation Thursday that could force Internet retailers to collect sales taxes, the latest effort by states and Washington to end what they call a handicap on brick-and-mortar businesses, the WSJ's Danny Yadron reports. The Marketplace Fairness Act would allow states to collect sales taxes from online retailers for transactions within the state. It would provide an exemption for businesses with less than $1 million in annual domestic sales.
Former RIM CEO sells remaining stake. Jim Basille, a former co-CEO of Research in Motion Ltd., has sold all his remaining shares in the company, the WSJ's Ben Dummett and Will Connors report. Mr. Basille, who stepped down from his executive position last year during a wide-ranging management overhaul, had owned as much as a 5.1% stake as recently as late 2011.
Fax machines roll on in Japan. The country that developed fax technology in the 1970s just can't quit it, says the NYT's Martin Fackler. Today, the machines can be found in 45% of private homes and almost 100% of businesses. Experts tell Fackler that bureaucrats like the paper trail fax machines create, while individuals enjoy the personal nature of writing a fax. No one commented on finding the fax's chalkboard scratch-like sound pleasant to the ear. "Japan's reluctance to give up its fax machines offers a revealing glimpse into an aging nation that can often seem quietly determined to stick to its tried-and-true ways," writes Fackler. "The fax addiction helps explain why Japan, which once revolutionized consumer electronics with its hand-held calculators, Walkmans and, yes, fax machines, has become a latecomer in the digital age."
Thanks for nothing, Adobe. Engineers at Adobe Systems Inc. say its Reader application has built-in protection from a zero-day exploit discovered recently by security firm FireEye, but users will need to manually turn on the protection for it to work. "It's disappointing that Adobe took the time to design a feature that can protect its users but didn't turn it on by default," writes Ars Technica's Dan Goodin. "I can't help comparing the move to a car manufacturer that installs airbags in one of its models, but then requires customers to flip a switch before the bags actually inflate."
Android, iOS steamroll smartphone competition. As if anyone needs reminding, IDC reports that in the fourth quarter of 2012, Android and iOS killed it in the smartphone market, combining for 91.1% of all smartphone shipments world-wide. For the calendar year, Android claimed a 70.1% share of the 722.4 million smartphones shipped, while iOS took 21%. BlackBerry eked out a 3.2% share, followed by Windows' 2.6%.
Many uneasy with Obama's executive order. President Obama's cybersecurity executive order reopens a heated discussion computer scientists and civil liberties groups have had for years about the trade-offs between privacy and security, writes the NYT's Somini Sengupta. The order, which asks government agencies to share with private companies intelligence about security threats, has been criticized as too soft by critics who argue that private companies, in turn, should be required to share data on recent cyberattacks with the government. But many civil libertarians fear that sharing data with the government can have unforeseen consequences. "Once that private information is in the hands of the military, it can be used for purposes completely unrelated to cybersecurity," argued Leslie Harris, president of the Center for Democracy and Technology.
Dropbox talking IPO. Cloud storage firm Dropbox Inc. is meeting with banks about an initial public offering, reports Quartz's Gina Chon. On Tuesday the company unveiled a new system aimed at business users. Previously Dropbox, which has about 200 million users, based its growth on appealing directly to consumers, many of whom later introduced the service to their business. Chon says Dropbox's recent move to the enterprise "reflects the realities of which tech companies have done well since going public in recent years." While professional-focused companies such as Palo Alto Networks have found success, more consumer-focused companies such Groupon have been pummeled.
A Chinese hacker's identity unmasked. Businessweek's Dune Lawrence and Michael Riley report on a case where security experts at Dell Inc. not only succeeded in tying a number of China-based cyberespionage campaigns to an individual living in China, but they managed to turn up blog posts and family photographs featuring the the person. Businessweek follows the trail to PLA Information Engineering University in the city of Zhengzhou in China, where Zhang Changhe, a teacher at the university, denies all involvement.
Every week, CIO Journal offers a glimpse into the mind of the CEO, whose view of technology is shaped by stories in management journals, general interest magazines and, of course, in-flight publications.
Welcome to the malware-industrial complex. MIT Technology Review's Tom Simonite reports on the rise of an international black market for "zero-day" bugs, vulnerabilities that hackers can use to sneak malicious software onto computer systems. "On the one hand the government is freaking out about cyber-security, and on the other the U.S. is participating in a global market in vulnerabilities and pushing up the prices," a technologist at the American Civil Liberties Union tells Simonite. As prices rise, the programmers who find such vulnerabilities are increasingly ignoring bounties offered by Google and other software makers in favor of selling their knowledge to the highest bidder. The influx of public money into cyberdefense will only make everything worse, writes Simonite. "And an escalating cycle of competition between U.S and overseas government agencies and contractors could make the world more dangerous for computer users everywhere."
Cashing in on the yuan. "Little by little, China's currency is gaining ground," writes the Economist. The yuan now accounts for 15% of the world's money supply—not bad considering that until mid-2009 almost all of it was sealed within China's borders—and in Q4, trade settled with the yuan hit $145 billion. The yuan, which ranks 14th in international payments, still has a ways to go–government capital controls and a need for serious bank reform limit its reach. But businesses are catching on to the fact that using the yuan helps them avoid costs associated with the foreign-exchange regulations applied to dollar-based transactions. Any reluctance by Western firms in adopting a foreign currency is almost becoming moot, says the Economist, as the West accounts for a falling share of China's trade. "Firms in emerging economies, accustomed to other people's currencies, may be quicker to adopt the yuan than Western rivals wedded to the dollar, euro or pound."
Lessons from the software industry. From helping design new products to facilitating new forms of collaboration, software plays an increasing role in a company's performance. In light of that success, executives could find benefits in applying software industry business models to their own organizations. Business leaders must realize that "almost every company is becoming a software company," write McKinsey Quarterly's Hugo Sarrazin and Johnson Sikes. "A base level of software fluency will be a requirement for all levels, including upper management, in order to understand not only the core technologies but also the dynamics of working in a quick-turn, massively more connected, and digitized marketplace, in which economic value is driven increasingly by information-based services."
Big deals are making a comeback. Yesterday, we witnessed a $40 billion wave of deals, bringing the total value of M&A transactions announced since January to nearly $160 billion — the fastest start to a year since 2005, the WSJ's Francesco Guerrera and Dennis K. Berman report. The biggest deal by far was the $23 billion Heinz acquisition by Berkshire Hathaway and Brazilian private-equity firm 3G Capital. But we also saw the announcement of the $11 billion AMR-US Airways merger, and a reworked deal — worth $4.75 billion — for Anheuser-Busch InBev over the divestment of some brands to Constellation. To top it all off, there was Cardinal Health's $2 billion purchase of rival AssuraMed.
Patent case against Monsanto could impact tech industry. A legal dispute between an Indiana farmer and Monsanto over how long the company can claim patent protection for its genetically engineered seeds could have broad implications for industries, the WSJ's Ian Berry writes. The case is set to be heard by the Supreme Court and the ruling could influence patent rights for other companies developing technologies that either replicate themselves or can be copied by their users. Various trade groups have filed briefs supporting Monsanto, including organizations representing Microsoft and Apple. The groups say a ruling against the seed maker would "eviscerate" tech companies' patent protection.

Winter weather has arrived, but even in a rainy drizzle, passersby still took time to stop and peer inside the bright and beckoning Wild Rivers tea room and art studio this week as owner Jane Tumas-Serna and her daughter Laura Serna-Maytorena hung artwork and decorated the space.
The women have been readying the space for a grand opening, set to take place Saturday from 8 p.m. to midnight, said Tumas-Serna.
"We're going for that tea room feel, eclectic and comfortable to hang out," said Serna-Maytorena.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Owner Jane Tumas-Serna, right, and her daughter and fellow artist, Laura Serna-Maytorena, have been putting the finishing touches on Wild Rivers, LLC, a downtown Marietta tea room and art studio which will have its grand opening this Saturday.
Customers will not find any vinyl booths or wholesale sets of tables and chairs inside Wild Rivers. Instead, bright cozy couches and scattered cafe tables provide seating in the front room. Oriental rugs dot the floor. Bookshelves and tables are brimming with books, not for buying, but simply for enjoying.
Perhaps most noticeably, the walls are covered by dozens of original works of art for sale, all of them created by the two women and by Serna-Maytorena's son.
"He's a fourth generation artist. We're a big family of artists," said Serna-Maytorena.
Fact Box
Wild Rivers, LLC
Located at 112 Putnam St., the business will serve as a tea room, art studio, and will offer a space for a variety of other artistic expressions.
The grand opening is set for Saturday from 8 p.m. to midnight.
After the grand opening, Wild Rivers is slated to be open Tuesday through Thursday from noon to 6 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from noon to midnight.
In addition to tea and art for sale, Serna-Maytorena also plans on selling her baked goods and items from her well-curated vintage collection.
But art gallery, vintage shop, tea room and baked goods store barely scratches the surface of what the ladies hope Wild Rivers will soon offer.
"We have an art studio in the back. We're going to offer classes and workshops," said Tumas-Serna, who has a master's degree in Fine Arts from Ohio University.
One of the first workshops Tumas-Serna hopes to hold will involve using cell phones to shoot and edit videos of local historic buildings and destinations.
In addition, the owners have plans to hold poetry nights, host musicians, and much, much more.
"It's really a place to be expressive. If you've got things you do, come do them here," said Serna-Maytorena.
It is also a place to be studious, said Tumas-Serna. The tea room offers free wi-fi access so students can come and work on homework while enjoying some teas from around the world or a variety of quirky bottled beverages, such as Jones Soda, juices and more.
The cafe also offers satellite television in the room that the mother and daughter affectionately refer to as the "man room," because the men in their family helped to build it. However, the intimate lounge space that divides the front room from the art studio in back is really for everyone, said Tumas-Serna.
The women hope that Wild Rivers will fill somewhat of a void in the downtown daytime scene, they said.
"There's not really a place to go and hang out downtown during the daytime," said Serna-Maytorena.
After the grand opening, Wild Rivers is set to be open Tuesday through Thursday from noon to 6 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from noon to midnight.

Inventing the computer
Last week, George Dyson spoke at the library about his book "Turing's Cathedral." It gives a unique perspective on the development of electronic computers that took place just down the street at the Institute for Advanced Study in the 1940s and 1950s. At the time, the concept of a "computer" was a person who calculated complex equations and made charts and tables of the answers for people to look up. By the 1940s, the occupation was typically a female one. With massive government investment due to World War II, many businesses and universities around the country were looking for ways to use machines to assist in the war effort by automatically processing equations and solving equations that no human could. The photo below shows a room of "computers" at work at NACA, the predecessor to NASA, in 1949.
Today it's obvious and taken for granted that computers have a standard set of parts - a core processor to manipulate binary data, memory to store the data, a screen to interact with the user, and the abilty to run a variety of software through coded instructions. Looking back to the 1940s though, and all of the questions surrounding the possibility of machines replicating human's mental work, like math, you start to get a sense of awe for how hard this problem was to overcome. Faulty electronics, differing philosophies and beliefs, political machinations, personality clashes; drama was by no means in short supply! The reality is that the theoretical foundations for digital computing began even earlier, in the early 1920s. Over the course of three decades, some of America's and the world's most brilliant minds struggled, debated, and ultimately resolved the questions which enabled the future, the digital world we live in today.
The library has at least two other books I know of on the same topic. "The Dream Machine", which I am currently reading, starts the story in the early 1920s, and is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of technology. "Dark Hero of the Information Age", which I have not read yet, focuses on the life of Norbert Weiner who certainly was involved in the intellectual underpinnings for digital computing, but who also appears to have been politically sidelined from history until recently.

The Fundamentals of Metrology seminar will introduce the participant to the concepts of measurement systems, units, measurement uncertainty, measurement assurance, traceability, basic statistics and how they fit into the laboratory Quality Management System. Additional topics covered will include overall Laboratory Management and Laboratory Quality Management Systems as well as specific discussions of the requirements for proficiency testing, calibration report generation, software verification and validation and management reviews. Topics will be covered using a variety of measurement disciplines and case studies so that the participants will be able to apply the concepts to any measurement discipline upon completion. Topics will be covered in a mixture of training styles including lecture, hands-on exercises, case studies and discussion.
Learning Objectives:
You will be able to:
State laboratory staff who have responsibilities for developing, implementing, and/or improving the quality management system in their laboratory as well as those who are seeking OWM recognition and/or accreditation or improvements to support recognition/accreditation. This course is also available for non-weights and measures participants.
Technology Requirement(s):
You will need to bring a 10-digit scientific calculator to use during this seminar. Participants MUST be familiar with the use of the hand-held scientific calculator. Additionally, use of a laptop or tablet PC is essential to success in the seminar.

HOUSTON -- The 49ers now enter the Texas Two-Step portion of their schedule: back-to-back games in the Lone Star State.
First comes their exhibition finale Thursday against the Houston Texans. Then things get real, with a return trip to open the regular season Sept. 7 at the Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium.
The steaks, er, stakes differ greatly between the games.
In an NFL world where teams never admit they're overlooking an opponent, the 49ers quietly have spent time studying the Cowboys.
It's no coincidence they're 3-0 in season openers under coach Jim Harbaugh.
"We've been looking at them the past couple weeks, here or there," defensive tackle Ray McDonald said of Dallas.
Not being scrutinized, at least not yet, is the 49ers' last meeting with the Cowboys. That came Sept. 18, 2011, when the Cowboys rallied for a 27-24 overtime win at Candlestick Park, marking the first loss of Harbaugh's tenure.
"Nah, we didn't watch that one. It was three years ago," McDonald said. "They're a different team now, and they don't have the same personnel."
The 49ers-Cowboys matchup was announced four months ago, allowing Harbaugh and his staff ample time to conceive their game plan. But when will it be implemented?
"Right after the Houston Texans game," responded Harbaugh, unwilling to expand further on any Cowboys talk.
"We've looked at them a little bit," Colin Kaepernick said of Dallas. "But for the most part, we're focusing on ourselves, making sure we're doing what we need to do to be ready for the regular season."
The exhibition finale provides Kaepernick and the starting offense the chance for a final momentum boost, and perhaps finally an exhibition season touchdown drive. Don't look for those starters to play beyond the first series, however.
The offensive line's right side remains in flux. Right tackle Anthony Davis isn't expected to test his surgically repaired biceps until the Cowboys game, so Jonathan Martin likely will start a fourth straight exhibition. Same goes for Joe Looney at right guard in place of Alex Boone, who remains in a contract dispute that shows no signs of ending.
Defensively, the 49ers' projected Week 1 lineup seems healthy and ready for Dallas quarterback Tony Romo. Of course, inside linebacker NaVorro Bowman will miss at least the first six weeks recovering from knee surgery, and there's lingering drama about the identity of his replacement.
Michael Wilhoite has lined up next to Patrick Willis on the first-team unit since spring practices. Rookie Chris Borland, however, has shown enough potential that defensive coordinator Vic Fangio isn't calling off the race, yet.
"We'll wait until after Thursday, give these younger guys a good, healthy dose of snaps and see if they can make progress," Fangio said of naming a starter.
Wilhoite isn't intimidated about joining a front seven that has keyed the 49ers' success since 2011.
"It makes me play that much better, because I know they're going to be all on point," Wilhoite said. "If one play breaks or something's not right, it's probably not going to be because of them."
Wilhoite's focus, thus, has remained on the Texans rather than the Cowboys, and he expects the same of other players fighting for jobs. "For a lot of these guys, this is their last audition, their last chance to put some film out there," Wilhoite said. "Then we'll move forward Friday."
Awaiting is the next chapter in the 49ers-Cowboys storied rivalry. No current 49ers player has tasted victory in that series. The Cowboys won the past three meetings, in 2005, 2008 and 2011.
Bad memories? Well, there's this: The 49ers last played an exhibition in Houston two years ago, when that season ended with a Super Bowl run.
Don't mess with Texas? The 49ers will try. Twice.
49ers (1-2) at Houston (2-1), 5 p.m. KPIX

Purchasing the right off-road bike or commuting bike can be a conundrum; especially if the terrain you need to cover requires the utility of both. Enter Diamondback's Trace Series Dual Sport bike. With mountain bike-like geometry and the efficiency of larger 700c diameter wheels, these bikes are ready for pavement then dirt, and back again. Semi-knobby tires provide great traction on dirt or gravel yet reduces rolling resistance.
The Trace Comp is our mid-level model in the Trace series. All Traces feature a 6061-T6 Butted Aluminum Dual Sport Frame with formed top and downtubes, forged drop outs, and an integrated chainstay disc brake mount.
The component assortment for the Trace Comp is well suited for the mid-level rider looking for value while not sacrificing quality. Starting with a SR Suntour NVX-MLO 700c 75mm travel fork featuring an alloy lower and crown and mechanical lock out for those long climbs, riding rough roads or bumpy trails is now made easy.
Drivetrain comes courtesy of a blend of Shimano goods including a Shimano FCM361 crankset featuring a chainguard and 28/38/48t rings, an Acera dual pull front derailleur, an Alivio rear derailleur, Acera Rapidfire 8spd shifters, and a Shimano HG-30 (11-32t) 8spd cassette.
The wheels are a critical part of any dual sport bicycle. For the Trace we made no exceptions and spec'd this bad boy with 32h Weinmann SL-7 Doublewall rims laced to SL-7 Alloy disc hubs. Innova DualSport 700×40c tires w/puncture resistant casing are wide enough for the dirt and have a semi slick tread for variable conditions. Tektro 3 finger Alloy Linear brake levers easily and comfortably control the Hayes HMX-5 Mechanical Disc calipers for amazing stopping power.
All Trace bikes offer a Diamondback proprietary cockpit with DB Lazer Series 31.8mm low rise handlebars and a DB AL6061 stem. An Avenir Series 200 saddle mounted to a DB Lazer Series Micro Adjust post will keep you comfy while seated but will look great too.
The Trace Comp is blue in color and is available in four sizes: SM (16"), MD (18"), LG (20"), XL (22"). A true go-anywhere, do-anything bike, the Trace Comp Dual Sport is ready to tackle it all.
Height must be between 56-79in.
Height must be between 142-201cm.

Jimmy Fallon on Monday night began what he hopes will be a long, successful stint as host of "The Tonight Show."
Displaying his usual brand of aw-shucks self-deprecation, along with his silly impersonations and sketch-comedy skills, Fallon showed off a newly decorated Manhattan studio and his rousing house band The Roots.
Here are five memorable moments from his "Tonight" debut:
Fallon went on to introduce himself to new viewers unfamiliar with him by touching upon his childhood days in upstate New York, delivering a quick bio (married with a 6-month-old daughter), and pointing out his proud parents in the audience. ("I wish I could have gotten you better seats.")
"Our goal," he said, is to send you to bed "with a smile on your face so you can live longer."
With that, he disappeared behind the curtain and came out to a fresh introduction and delivered a standard monologue, mainly dedicated to the Olympics and NBC's coverage of the Games.
The list also included Tina Fey, Joe Namath, former mayor Rudy Giuliani, Mariah Carey (prying money from her cleavage), Tracy Morgan, Joan Rivers, Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan, Sarah Jessica Parker (drawing cash from her shoe), Mike Tyson and Lady Gaga.
Stephen Colbert brought the bit to a hilarious conclusion by dumping a bucket of coins all over Fallon's desk and blurting, "Welcome to 11:30, bitch!" before taking a selfie.
They cycled through other moves including "The Running Man," "The Robot" and "The Stanky Legg." Finally, Fallon did some booty-popping "Twerking," to which a frowning Smith shook hs head and walked off.
Fallon, pointing out that Smith is a huge movie star, asked for advice on how to handle the pressure of being the host on "The Tonight Show."
Smith replied by referring to all the celebrities that had appeared moments earlier and told Fallon to remember that "People are coming (to the show) because of your heart."
Then, they finished off the show with a lovely acoustical version of their Oscar-nominated "Ordinary Love."
So what did you think of Fallon and the show as a whole? Does his future look bright, or are you waiting for Jay Leno to make anther comeback?

So I have horrible posture...so bad that everyone comments on it. I hunch my shoulders up close to my ears at night and during the day. I slouch all the time! I have a few back problems. I went to physical therapy when I was younger but never kept up with it. Are there any exercises I can do to keep my shoulders back and down? I'm really determined to do this not only for my health but to stop the comments and to better myself. Any suggestions will help. Thank you so much
Madelyn Kay
We've got a bunch of other related articles on our Mind & Body channel: http://www.active.com/mindandbody/
I look at the ab muscles and lower-back muscles as complimentary, much the same as the chest muscles and upper back muscles. It's important to strength-train both equally as to prevent over-development of one over the other. If your posture is that of forward slouching, then it might be good to start strengthening your lower and upper-back muscles to pull your torso back and more upright.
Pose of the Month: Plank Pose This one here might be a great place to start. Have you ever looked into trying yoga, like in a class?
Hi! I realize that this is an old thread but feel compelled to answer since this was a serious longstanding problem of mine. I also had a perpetual slouch and my shoulders were always up around my ears. I tried all sorts of exercises (ballet, Pilates, stretches, weights...) and just never felt as though i was getting anywhere. I developed terrible back and neck pain....and was also sick of the comments and exhortations to "stop slouching." I finally tried a chiropractic adjustment called Atlas Adjustment-- the "Atlas" vertebra is the very top one directly beneath the skull. Mine turned out to be very far out of position/subluxated. This adjustment has given me a totally new new neck and lease on life. i can sit and stand up straight for the fist time in years--possibly my entire life. I now realize that it had been physically impossible for me NOT to slouch as long as this vertebrae was out. After years of trying all sorts of exercises, I've finally been able to stop slouching. Best wishes to you!
Posture depends all on your muscles. Your Core (might here that in many places) is the most important thing
in your everyday life.
Core consists of your abdominal area, to the sides and wraps around to your lower back (Lumbar Area).
-Crunches working on slowly returning to the ground with fast contraction on the way up
-Front, Side Planks (fore arm Bridges) are the best for shaping your core
-Super Mans (on your stomach lifting your arms straight infront and both legs behind you at the same time)
-Medicine Ball- Side twists in a lunge position
There are so many different exercises that I can go on for days. I would do research on line and
ask active gym goers for more detailed specifics.
If you can't find any or have trouble just shoot me an email firstname.lastname@example.com
and I can work on a workout program for your to start strengthening.
Hope this works out for you

What can you say about pilates? They say it not effectively corrects posture but it also tones and lengthens and muscle. Haven't tried because I have yet to go to the doctor to ask if such exercises are good for me. Your thoughts on this please.
I think stretching is the best way...

BERKELEY -- Encouraged but hardly satisfied, Cal closed its spring workouts Saturday with an 86-play scrimmage in front of an announced crowd of 2,500 fans at Memorial Stadium.
Five months after completing an historically bad 1-11 season, the Bears are focused on the future, including an Aug. 30 season opener at Northwestern.
Sophomore-to-be quarterback Jared Goff said the team is ready to make a leap forward.
"We're done with everything that had to do with last year," he said. "We're a brand new team now and we're ready to go."
Coach Sonny Dykes has called the Bears a work in progress, and he continues to see good and bad.
"I thought we got better," Dykes said of his team's work over the past four weeks. "Our guys are still learning what it takes to win at this level. I'm not sure we completely understand that yet. I certainly like where we're headed, but we still have a long way to go."
The defense had the upper hand early Saturday, prompting defensive end Brennan Scarlett to pronounce, "We were dominating."
The offense was more effective in the second half, Dykes noted. Goff, who was just 5 for 11 for 27 yards in the first half, was 9 for 12 for 143 yards the rest of the way. He had an 8-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Lawler and a 37-yard completion to Bryce Treggs, who made a nice over-the-shoulder catch.
Austin Hinder and Kyle Boehm will take their duel for the No. 2 quarterback job into fall camp.
Daniel Lasco ran six times for 35 yards and a touchdown, and Jeffrey Coprich also scored a TD.
Dykes gave Lasco high marks for his play all spring.
"We've got to hit it a little more downhill and be more physical," he said. "Lasco really did that this spring."
Even so, Lasco, who'll be a junior this fall, said no one on the team has any sense of complacency.
"This whole team has definitely made strides to turn this program around," he said.
The Bears still await the return of defensive lineman Mustafa Jalil, who missed all of last season and spring ball due to a knee injury that required offseason surgery. JC transfer David Davis will arrive in August and there is no update on the status of Jacobi Hunter, who has taken the past few weeks away from the team for personal reasons.

Jessica Simpson will star in an NBC-produced sitcom based on her life, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Are they sure they aren't asking too much of her?
Universal Television and Electus will co-produce the pilot, based on a pitch developed by Robin and Nick Bakay "We are thrilled to team up with the multitalented Jessica Simpson to bring this new sitcom to life on NBC as she is truly a modern-day Lucy with incredible comedic chops," Electus founder and chairman Silverman said. "From running a fashion empire to wrangling her public image as a new mom, we see Jessica's character approach a variety of 'everyday' circumstances that will get audiences laughing out loud."
As opposed to laughing silently, which is how they laugh overseas. Dumb non-Americans.
Simpson said, "I am so excited to work with Ben and NBC again, this time on a scripted comedy. I often find myself thinking that no one could ever make up the things that actually happen in my life, so between the real-life elements and a great team of writers, I think we'll have people laughing."
My side is hurting, I'm already laughing so much. And definitely out loud.
Simpson's life largely has been spent in the public eye, signing with Tommy Mottola and Columbia Records at 16. At 19, her first studio album reached No. 25 on the Billboard 200 as the label helped market the singer using her "virgin" appeal with Simpson publicly stating that she would remain abstinent until marriage.
When reached for comment, John Mayer laughed. Out loud.
The singer's marriage to former 98 Degrees frontman Nick Lachey was documented in "MTV's Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica," which ran for three seasons on the network (they later divorced).
NBC's semi-autobiographical entry marks Simpson's second attempt at scripted comedy. In 2004, ABC ordered a pilot titled "Jessica," which starred the singer-actress as a pop star-turned-TV news anchor. But the show was not picked up to series.
Simpson's acting credits include the movies "Employee of the Month" and "The Dukes of Hazzard" and on television on "Entourage" and "That 70's Show."
BRITNEY SPEARS ENDED RELATIONSHIP OVER KIDS: Britney Spears and Jason Trawick split up because she wants more children and he doesn't.
On the bright side, at least her next boyfriend will know what to expect.
TMZ reported that Spears, 31, wanted more children, while Trawick, 41, was resistant to expanding their family, which already included Spears' two children from her previous marriage to Kevin Federline.
The website also quotes a source that says Trawick was "in another place" and that over time, his three-year involvement as Spears' agent and boyfriend consumed him and "took away his individuality." Trawick is a talent manager who reportedly oversaw the careers of Taylor Swift, Hilary Duff, Paris Hilton and Heidi Klum.
If he was a "talent" manager what exactly was he doing with Paris Hilton?
A source told Fox News the breakup "has really been in motion awhile. Jason has been very stressed and concerned for Britney and what she might do if he left," the insider said. "He is worried about her and really loved her, but it started to take a real toll on him." The burden of taking care instead of a partnership where she also takes care."
That's right. It's not every boyfriend who has be ready if his girlfriend decides to shave her head and attack a parked car.
Spears confirmed the split to People magazine on Friday, saying in a statement, "Jason and I have decided to call off our engagement. I'll always adore him and we will remain great friends." Spears is also said to have returned the $90,000 engagement ring Trawick gave her in December 2011, when he proposed on his 40th birthday.
LINDSAY LOHAN GETS LUCKY: Despite learning that Lindsay Lohan had fired her on Monday, attorney Shawn Holley appeared in court for the actress on Tuesday, entering a not guilty plea to charges Lohan lied to police about her June car wreck on the Pacific Coast Highway.
Shawn Holley is a nice lady.
When the judge asked Holley if she was still representing Lohan, Holley said, "At this point, yes." It was unclear what that means, since she supposedly got a letter Monday saying she was fired. Lohan has hired New York lawyer, Mark Heller.
The judge was understandably confused. Holley said, "The representation issue will be nailed down."
Had Holley not intervened -- since Lohan wasn't in the vicinity -- the judge would have likely issued a warrant for Lohan's arrest.
A pretrial date was scheduled for Jan. 30, at which Lohan is required to appear.
Holley was supposedly fired Monday morning as she was on her way to court to negotiate the 3,372nd deal to keep Lohan out of jail. TMZ reported she was replaced by Heller, who gained fame as Jon Gosselin's divorce lawyer, and who was suspended for practicing law for five years in the 1990s. Heller also is not licensed to practice law in California, were the majority of Lohan's alleged crimes are committed.
Well, this all makes perfect sense.
CHARLIE SHEEN WILL BE A GRANDPA: Charlie Sheen is going to be a grandpa.
That popping sound you're hearing is the nearest ocean, beginning to boil.
The actor's oldest daughter, Cassandra, 28, is expecting her first child. Sheen's ex-wife Denise Richards announced the news on Twitter, writing, "I guess some of you have heard ... @charliesheen is going to be a Grampa ... yes GRAMPA!" Adding, "his beautiful daughter Cassandra is gonna be a mama."
Nothing like sending little Timmy over to Grandpa Charlie's house, where he can go swimming, have lunch, and learn words like "crack pipe" and "escort."
Cassandra's mother is the actor's high school girlfriend Paula Profit. The two never married. Sheen was married to Richards from 2002 to 2006 and they have two children together, Sam, 8, and Lola, 7. The actor also has 3-year-old twin sons, Bob and Max, with Brooke Mueller, who lets Richards watch her kids sometimes because she goes to rehab a lot.
How encouraging to hear there's another generation on the way.
KATHERINE WEBB ALREADY RIPPING KIM KARDASHIAN: Katherine Webb has been famous for a bit longer than a week, and she's already taking shots at Kim Kardashian.
Hey lady, that's somebody's mother you're talking about.
As you know, the former Miss Alabama and girlfriend of Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron became famous last week during the NCAA championship game, when announcer Brent Musburger salivated all over himself while they showed Webb watching the game in the stands. By the end of the week, she was slated to pose in the new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Which means she had a chance, during an interview with Sports Illustrated appearing on its website, to call herself "The anti Kim Kardashian."
"I've been approached by different publications, but I think a lot of America appreciated how classy I was, and I got a lot of responses saying I was America's sweetheart and all that kind of stuff," Webb said. "I'm from Alabama and I have morals and I have class. That's my personality. A lot of people have said I'm the anti-Kim Kardashian and I'm all right with that."
So she's from Alabama, therefore she automatically has morals and class? Really?
In Alabama's defense, though, it did have Forrest Gump.
The interviewer pointed out that Kardashian "has done all right for herself." To which Webb said, "She made herself into who she is and that's fine and all that. But I guess the way I want to go about all this is, I just want to have a positive image for myself. I want girls to be able to look up to me and to say, 'I want to be just like her one day.' That's what I did as Miss Alabama and I loved that."

Britney Spears announces Las Vegas residency
Published: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 9:59 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 9:59 a.m.
NEW YORK (AP) — Britney Spears is heading to Las Vegas.
The pop star announced a residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday. "Britney: Piece of Me" will debut Dec. 27. The singer announced 16 dates, but she will perform 50 shows each in 2014 and 2015.
Spears was in the Nevada desert for the announcement with more than 1,000 fans. Some dressed like the singer's signature schoolgirl look from her "... Baby One More Time" music video.
The Grammy-winning singer's confirmation about the residency comes months after rumors swirled online. She said in an interview on "GMA" that the show will feature her greatest hits as well as new material.
"I'm definitely ready," she said, adding that she's training five hours each day.
Tickets for "Britney: Piece of Me" go on sale Sept. 20. Prices range from $59 to $179.
The 31-year-old Spears released a new song, "Work (Expletive)," this week. The song is from her untitled eighth album, due out Dec. 3. It will include songs about her ex-fiance Jason Trawick.
"They suck," she said. "Breakups suck."

Friday January 25, 2013
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina's Chad Holbrook is ready for everything as the Gamecocks' new baseball coach, even the enormous expectations to match the success of his old boss Ray Tanner.
Holbrook was named the program's first new coach in 16 years last summer, promoted when Tanner became the school's athletic director. And Holbrook says rarely has a day gone by when he hasn't been reminded that Tanner had the program peaking with College World Series championships in 2010 and 2011, and a runnerup finish in Omaha last summer.
Holbrook and the Gamecocks began practice for the 2013 season Friday, the first time NCAA Division I programs could start preseason workouts.
He plans to stick with Tanner's guidelines of being aggressive on the field and giving maximum effort each day.

CASTRO VALLEY -- The county is close to selling the long-vacant Daughtrey building on the town's main thoroughfare to a developer who wants to renovate the two-story eyesore.
"Our negotiations are 92 percent complete to sell the building with some strings attached," said Eileen Dalton of the Alameda County Community Development Agency.
The conditions include having at least one tenant signed before completing the sale to developer David Greensfelder and no office space on the ground floor of the 40,000-square-foot building. Castro Valley's advisory council and the county would have to approve any proposal, Dalton said.
While negotiations could wrap up in two months, the state has to approve the agency's property management plan before the site can be transferred, and Dalton was unwilling to speculate how long that would take. The Development Agency sent its plan to the state in July.
Several people at the meeting Tuesday urged razing the Castro Valley Boulevard building rather than renovating it. "Everybody I've talked to says that building needs to come down," said resident Peter Rosen, who handed out a proposal to turn the property into a town square.
Several speakers supported Rosen's town-square idea, but paying for it could make it impossible.
"We looked at demolition. It is very expensive because of the basement," Dalton said. Razing the building and filling the 15,000-square-foot basement would cost a half million dollars, she said.
To turn the site into a public plaza, Alameda County would have to buy the building, which the redevelopment agency paid $2.8 million for in 2011. It was appraised at $900,000 last year.
To develop the site as a town square would take at least another $2 million, estimated Marc Crawford, Municipal Advisory Council chairman. Castro Valley's general plan also would likely need to be revised and approved by county supervisors, Dalton said. It took eight years to update the town's 2012 general plan. Maintaining a park would add to the cost.
"The idea that the county is going to spend $1 million to buy the building isn't going to happen," Crawford said.
"Ten years from now, we would be here at another meeting wondering what we're going to do about this building," he said.
Councilmember Cheryl Miraglia, who said she hated the Daughtrey building, agreed with Crawford.
"I am unwilling to throw out a deal that is almost complete for another proposal unless all the ducks are in a row, and they're not all in a row," she said. "I am not opposed to public space, but we have to be able to do it without screwing up the deal we have."
The council asked those wanting to turn the site into a town square to refine their proposal, including costs and how to pay for them, and bring it back for consideration. However, the council did not ask for a delay in negotiations with the developer.
Keller Daughtrey opened his store in Castro Valley in 1949, moving the business to the building at 3295 Castro Valley Blvd. in 1965. The white concrete block building has a full basement, main floor and mezzanine. Daughtrey sold the store in 1991, and the business closed not long after that. The building has remained vacant except for a few businesses briefly using it, and the county redevelopment agency bought it.
Greensfelder was asked if it would be better to tear down the 50-year-old structure and rebuild rather than renovate it. Though the building is dated, it's structurally sound, and the cost of demolition and new construction is too high, he said.
"It made sense to try and save the building," he said.
Several businesses are interested in moving into the building, including batting cage and archery range firms, Greensfelder said. Although those would not be right for the ground floor, they might be feasible in the basement, he said.
"My job is to determine what is the best thing I can develop that meets the needs of the community and is economically viable," Greensfelder said. "We're hoping this process is coming to an end and we can come back to you with proposals for how the building should look."

Sky Spot was founded in 1992. Titles available include Finder Charts of the Messier Objects, Finder Charts of Bright Telescopic Objects, Finder Charts of Overlooked Objects, and Finder Charts of Select Double Stars. These charts are the work of Brent Watson, an amateur astronomer since 1964. They are specifically designed for use at the telescope, and are the product of years of experience in the field. Our Finder Charts' features are tailored to make finding celestial objects extremely easy. Customers repeatedly comment on their ease of use, and state that their observing productivity is increased many times over. Each volume is fully laminated, opens flat, and includes a description of each object. All Finder Charts are individually hand crafted.
These Finder Charts are made for use with a Telrad, the first zero power finder, but they also work with any zero power or red dot finder equally well. Sky Spot also offers the Telrad finder, along with extra bases for the Telrad. The Telrad projects three concentric circles against the sky where the telescope is pointed, facilitating simple pointing. The largest circle (4 degrees) outlines the area covered by many optical finder scopes. The smallest circle (1/2 degree) is the apparent size of the Moon in our sky. The Telrad is easily detachable from its base for storage. The base mounts to any telescope with the included double sided foam tape, or can be attached with screws through provided mounting holes.

WALNUT CREEK -- A new staff veterinarian at the Lindsay Wildlife Museum's animal hospital, and the center's leadership in general, came under attack last week because of what some volunteers perceived as a lack of compassion and commitment to animal welfare and rehabilitation.
More than 100 concerned volunteers and museum members met last week after three longtime hospital staff members abruptly resigned last week for "philosophical reasons." Those staffers had called into question the credentials and philosophy of Dr. Serena Brenner in just her second week on the job.
Some longtime volunteers support Lindsay putting more emphasis on its long-respected animal hospital and rehabilitation work but say the education and museum components of the nationally acclaimed wildlife center are assuming an increasingly large share of museum resources.
"We are concerned the museum is shifting from its role of saving the lives of birds and animals, and putting its resources elsewhere," said 25-year museum volunteer Robin Pulich. Like most nonprofits, the Lindsay museum has had to cut its budget in recent years, and the strain is reigniting an old argument that the hospital isn't as important as the education and animal exhibit portions of the museum.
Museum directors, however, insist the emphasis of animal care and rehabilitation is not waning.
"Our mission is divided into three parts," said Executive Director Loren Behr. "Our wildlife hospital, education and our museum and live animal exhibits. Those are the three ways we connect with the community."
Behr praised Brenner, who took over in February after longtime hospital veterinarian Shannon Riggs left in December. Brenner, an alumni of UC Davis' veterinary program, spent many years at the California Academy of Sciences. She holds a master's degree in avian science.
Brenner on Tuesday rejected criticism for what some perceive as a lack of compassion and an aggressive euthanasia policy.
"I didn't become a vet because I didn't care about animals," she said. "My main focus is doing the right thing for the welfare of the animals. Sometimes, living in captivity, injured is worse than being euthanized."
It's a group decision among her colleagues at the hospital, she said, to put any animal down. "The day it (euthanasia) doesn't affect me is the day I stop being a vet," she said.
The rate of euthanizing animals has actually decreased under Brenner over last year, said Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Director Susan Heckly.
The three resignations have fueled controversy. In a letter read by Pulich, veterinary technician Michelle Anderson said she left over concern Lindsay's hospital and rehabilitation services are being curtailed and that Brenner has not been making the hospital animals a priority.
Volunteers have also said Brenner, whom Behr said was originally hired full time, is only working three days a week. Behr said the museum is looking to hire an assistant veterinarian to focus mainly on the rehabilitation hospital.
Still, volunteers like Pulich want to preserve Lindsay's reputation.
"We have built up this center to be what it is today, known throughout the country for our work rehabbing animals and birds," she said. "We don't want to see that diminished."
Catherine Millar, the museum's director of institutional advancement, said that won't happen. "The hospital is the heart and soul of this organization," she said. "The animals we treat are our best ambassadors and inform our educational programs."
However, she acknowledged there are communication problems, and outside consultants have been hired better share Lindsay's vision, and challenges, with staff and volunteers.

Our service
Copyright © 1999–2016 FastMail Pty Ltd
A reseller account is a standard business account that is able to create sub-businesses. This is useful, for example, if a small IT-support firm manages the IT infrastructure of other small firms, but does not want to run their own email servers.
FastMail charges the usual amount for business accounts in these cases. The reseller can charge their sub-business for email accounts with their own mark-up added.
There are two general modes this operates in:
In this case, you do all the management work, and don't give access to the masteruser account to the sub-business at all. They call you to do anything and you charge them at your hourly rate to do that management work, and charge them for the accounts with your own markup.
In this case, any changes bill the reseller's client credit card directly. You can give them access to the masteruser account to do their own upgrades/downgrades. This reduces your work, but you can't make any profit on the accounts. If they need help, they call you and you invoice them separately at your own hourly rate.
The first step to being a reseller is creating a business account for yourself. Then, we mark your account as a reseller account, and you can create and manage sub-businesses.
This is designed for businesses that manage the IT infrastructure of a number of other businesses from one place, and want to keep each business logically separated.
There are a number of advantages from using a reseller account, as oppossed to a single business account.

Naturopathic physician Dr. Erica Koch leads a Prenatal Health Series at Gifford for pregnant women and expectant families beginning May 15.
The series includes four Thursday classes that participants can take individually or as a whole. They are "Nutrition during Pregnancy" on May 15, "Herbal Medicine, Vitamins and Minerals during Pregnancy" on May 22, "Movement and Regeneration" on May 29 and "Mind/Body Medicine" on June 5.
"Nutrition during Pregnancy" covers eating well, meeting nutritional needs, food as medicine, environmental toxins and chemicals to avoid, food cravings and how to address them, and how to shop for food.
"Herbal Medicine, Vitamins and Minerals during Pregnancy" looks at nutrients to promote and maintain good health, and manage symptoms such as headaches, muscle spasms, fatigue, nausea and constipation. It also looks at herbs to avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
"Movement and Regeneration" with guest teacher Amy LePage focuses on yoga sequences to improve energy, relieve discomfort, aid in digestion and prepare for birth. The class also teaches breathing exercises to encourage relaxation and reduce stress.
Finally, "Mind/Body Medicine" teaches stress reduction and how to build resilience, increase awareness and support labor. It gives participants the tools to begin a daily self-care practice.
"These classes are for anyone who is interested in promoting health during pregnancy and managing symptoms naturally. The goal is to empower people with the knowledge and practices of a healthy lifestyle. Pregnant women have different needs and knowing how to address them in a safe and effective way is important. Women who are trying to conceive, who are pregnant, their partners and practitioners are all welcome to attend," said Dr. Koch.
Dr. Koch is an experienced naturopathic doctor, educator, gardener and co-founder of Whole Systems Health, a non-profit organization focusing on nature-based education, health and resilience. She earned her doctor of naturopathic medicine degree from the National College of Natural Medicine, where she completed advanced training in women's health and midwifery. She also holds a master's degree from Rutgers University.
The classes will be held from 5-8 p.m. at Gifford in The Family Center beside Gifford Ob/Gyn and Midwifery at 38 S. Main St. (off Route 12) in Randolph.
Dr. Koch offers a sliding scale fee of $50-$75 for each class plus a $10 materials fee. E-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com to sign up or with questions.
