Is the new Artiphon Instrument 1 a guitar? Is it a piano? Nope, it is a crazy iPhone-powered combination of both.
[NAMM] Artiphon Instrument 1 Interesting to see it in action. It might be a "quality insturment" from a materials standpoint, but it sounds like a Casio keyboard. Maybe something in the hands of someone truly musical and MIDI'd to a real bank of synths.

Paul McCloskey Parts Ways With John Breen Via Text
Paul McCloskey (24-2, 12KOs) will have a new trainer when he returns to the ring in the New Year after dumping long-time handler John Breen - via text. 'Dudey' has spent the last eight years with Breen, who guided him to British and European titles as well as a world title shot against Amir Khan.
But the 33-year-old has not moved forward from that defeat (on cuts) and has decided a fresh start is required - much to the surprise of the trainer.
"I'm very disappointed that it has come to this point and I can't really understand it but I wish Paul all the very best for the future," Breen told the Belfast Telegraph.
"As with all my fighters I felt that I did my very best for Paul and I think his record shows that I did a pretty good job taking him from the amateur ranks and turning him into a professional. We seemed to work well together. Paul was a very good amateur and we got his style to adapt to the pros.
"I got a text saying that he feels that he has to move on and get another coach which I don't really understand but that's up to him. I really don't think I could have done more. I felt I got the best out of Paul."
McCloskey is a decent fighter and breaking up via a txt is a very weak way to go about things.Comment by toshmurph on 11-10-2012

Twenty-seven-year-old attorney concerned about skin growth at base of penis. Growth is nonpruritic, painless, and unchanged since he first noticed it 1 month ago. Has had one steady sexual partner in the last year; mutually faithful and monogamous. Uncertain about whether his consort has any asymptomatic genital lesions, but sure neither has ever had any painful lesions and that they have "no history of syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, AIDS, or CHlamydia." Both have had premarital laboratory studies for all these except herpes.
Penis looks well; somewhat apprehensive. Afebrile. Physical examination normal apart from the penile lesion shown. Lesion is soft, plaquelike to slightl warty, non-tender, and not ulcerated. No other lesions in or about the urethral orifice, the remainder of the penis, scrotum, perineum, or the anal region.
Although a host of other genital lesions can occur in males, none is likely to look as flat, as flesh-colored, and as free of ulceration as this one did; the concyloma latum of syphilis is the only exception. Even though the relatively promixal location of the lesion and its partly exophytic look made the clinician think of other conditions as well, the preoperative diagnosis was condyloma acuminatum. This diagnosis was confirmed by an excisional biopsy.
Condyloma acuminatum, which is becoming more common every day, appears as a flat (later polypoid), fleshy, nonscaly, soft growth, which is unlikely to be confused with a malignancy on physical examination. It is painless unless abraded. The lesion results from chaotic epithelial overgrowth due to infection with certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). If it looks a bit like an ordinary penis wart, that is because other strains of the same HPV cause common warts. Since only the "anogenital" HPV strains are prone to infect the moister environs of the perineum and penis in preference to other skin, ordinary warts occur only very rarely in or on the penis. Almost any surface may be affected by the anogenital strains, including the upper inner thighs; any part of the penis or scrotum, the areas of the corona and sulcus and under the foreskin in particular; the labia majora or minora; and the urethral orifice, perianal region, or anus itself in either sex.
The most characteristic appearance in men is of 1-3 mm sessile lesions on the penis; these are often a bit more whitish pink, more "sea anemone-like," and more friable-looking than the one illustrated. It is very important to realize that the vagina and uterine cervix may harbor lesions that, although caused by the same organism as those in the male, are often flat and white rather than exophytic. There is compelling evidence that the virus is transmitted by sexual contact, with an average incubation of two months.
Why, then, did this patient develop his penis lesions when he did, assuming the sexual history was absolutely accurate? Perhaps he had had longer-standing tiny lesions that were grossly invisible by just looking at the penis; these are known to occur in either sex, and may be detectable only with the in-vivo microscopy of a colposcope. Also, sometimes flat lesions are rendered more visible on the penis by presoaking the genitals with dilute acetic acid. In any case, you must examine and treat both partners if you are to benefit either.
HPV lesions on the genitals are common in heterosexuals of either sex, gay men, and lesbians. Discovery of perianal lesions suggests anorectal sexual practices, which are part of the repertoire of many heterosexual couples as well as homosexual persons. The discovery of genital warts on the penis of a child should make you think about child sexual abuse, although other mechanisms, including peripartum transmission, have been implication in some cases, particularly in infants.

Love This Good Promo From Ann Taylor Loft
Love this promo that I got today from Ann Taylor Loft. Apparently they've teamed up with Goodwill on this new cause marketing effort. Here's the skinny. I bring in one of my old pair of jeans and I get $15 off a new pair from the Loft. What a great idea - and look - now I'm now an evangelist for the company!
Everyone wants the 2-for-1 in an economy like this. And what's better than being able to do good and shop? My only criticism is that the e-alert doesn't direct me to a website/landing page to learn more about the promotion.
Call your corporate partners today. See if you can work together to create a similar offer. Everyone is looking for creative ways to partner these days.

About this series
The typical UNIX® administrator has a key range of utilities, tricks, and systems he or she uses regularly to aid in the process of administration. There are key utilities, command-line chains, and scripts that are used to simplify different processes. Some of these tools come with the operating system, but a majority of the tricks come through years of experience and a desire to ease the system administrator's life. The focus of this series is on getting the most from the available tools across a range of different UNIX environments, including methods of simplifying administration in a heterogeneous environment.
ps command line tool lists running processes. The tool exists on all variants of UNIX and, on the whole, works in the same basic fashion -- asking the kernel for a list of running processes and then reporting on the list of processes and their properties, such as memory usage, running time, and other details.
ps tool is actually a very powerful utility, although many administrators probably rely on only one or two of the available options and, in their eyes, to drill down to the information they want. You can get more information out of the command by making use of the built-in command line options, and even more if you combine
ps with commands through pipes to get access to exactly the information you want.
Listing all processes
The standard output from
ps only lists your running processes, even when you are logged in as root. Depending on whether your UNIX environment is based on the BSD or AT&T, SysV UNIX base alters the primary command line options that you use to get information on other processes on the system, or changes the information that is displayed. Within a BSD-based UNIX environment, the output incorporates the process ID, terminal, status, time (duration of execution in CPU seconds used, rather than an indication of when the process was started), and the command executed, as shown in Listing 1.
Listing 1. Listing process on BSD UNIX variants
$ ps PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 391 p5 S 0:00.24 /bin/bash 9165 p5 S+ 0:00.50 emacs 476 p6 S 0:01.03 /bin/bash 9299 p6 S 0:00.09 xterm 9319 p6 S 0:00.07 xterm 9423 p6 S 0:00.12 ftp atuin 9513 p6 R+ 0:00.01 ps 9301 p7 Ss+ 0:00.01 /usr/X11R6/bin/luit 9302 p8 Ss+ 0:00.03 bash 9321 p9 Ss+ 0:00.01 /usr/X11R6/bin/luit 9322 pa Ss+ 0:00.02 bash
Under an SVR4 environment, fewer columns are provided (you no longer get a process status), as seen in Listing 2 below.
Listing 2. Listing process on BSD UNIX variants
$ ps PID TTY TIME CMD 19915 pts/3 00:00:00 bash 29145 pts/3 00:00:00 emacs 32256 pts/3 00:00:00 emacs 26986 pts/3 00:00:00 xterm 31303 pts/3 00:00:00 ftp 31358 pts/3 00:00:00 ps
To get a list of all the processes running on the system, you need to use different command line options, according to the UNIX variant in use. Within a BSD UNIX, the command line option
-a lists all user processes, including your own. However, the list will still not include processes without a controlling terminal (for example, those started at boot time, daemons, and those executing as part of a
cron job). To get a list of all running processes, you must use the
-A command line option (see Listing 3).
Listing 3. Listing all processes on BSD systems
$ ps -A PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 1 ?? S<s 0:15.47 /sbin/launchd 23 ?? Ss 0:00.02 /sbin/dynamic_pager -F /private/var/vm/swapfile 27 ?? Ss 0:00.95 kextd 49 ?? Ss 0:05.17 /usr/sbin/configd 50 ??

-A command line option is equivalent to using both
-a and
-x options, where
-a shows processes with controlling terminals and
-x shows processes without controlling terminals.
Under SVR4 variants, it is the
-e command line option that shows you all running processes, irrespective of whether or not they have a controlling terminal. It is equivalent, in terms of the processes displayed, to the BSD
-A option. You can see a sample of the output in Listing 4.
Listing 4. Process listings in SVR4 environments
$ ps -e PID TTY TIME CMD 0 ? 15:24 sched 1 ? 0:00 init 2 ? 0:00 pageout 3 ? 0:00 fsflush 308 ? 0:00 devfsadm 7 ? 0:06 svc.star 9 ? 0:10 svc.conf 506 ? 0:00 htt_serv 260 ? 0:00 rpcbind 259 ? 0:00 cron 52 ? 0:00 dhcpagen 282 console 0:00 ttymon 267 ? 0:00 lockd 264 ? 0:00 statd 90 ? 0:00 sysevent ... 462 ? 0:00 smcboot 464 ? 0:00 smcboot 463 ? 0:00 smcboot 473 ? 0:00 htt 552 ? 0:00 in.telne 527 ? 0:00 dmispd 548 ? 0:01 snmpd
Where the output differs is in the columns of information that are displayed, but you can fix that by specifically selecting the columns that you want.
Listing specific information
ps tool includes a number of standard sets of columns that are displayed. For example, within SVR4, it is common to use
ps -ef for more extensive information about the processes listed, including the parent process ID, processor utilization, start time, and a more detailed command line, as shown here in Listing 5.
Listing 5. Extending the output
ps -ef UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 0 0 0 15:56:26 ? 15:24 sched root 1 0 0 15:56:26 ? 0:00 /sbin/init root 2 0 0 15:56:26 ? 0:00 pageout root 3 0 0 15:56:26 ? 0:00 fsflush root 308 1 0 15:57:09 ? 0:00 devfsadmd root 7 1 0 15:56:29 ? 0:06 /lib/svc/bin/svc.startd ... root 562 1 0 15:58:17 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q15m root 576 555 1 16:01:47 pts/1 0:00 ps -ef root 416 1 0 15:57:14 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/syslogd smmsp 561 1 0 15:58:17 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sendmail -Ac -q15m ... root 552 283 0 15:57:47 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/in.telnetd root 527 1 0 15:57:22 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/dmi/dmispd root 548 1 0 15:57:24 ? 0:01 /usr/sfw/sbin/snmpd
For BSD environments, you normally add the
-l option, which produces "long" output from each process, such as Listing 6.
Listing 6. Showing more process detail in BSD
$ ps -al UID PID PPID CPU PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TT TIME COMMAND 0 9165 391 0 31 0 57896 6376 - S+ p5 0:00.50 emacs 501 352 349 0 31 0 27784 52 - Ss p6 0:00.04 bash 0 476 352 0 31 0 27784 600 - S p6 0:01.05 /bin/bash 0 9299 476 0 31 0 44988 1880 - S p6 0:00.09 xterm 0 9319 476 0 31 0 44988 1888 - S p6 0:00.07 xterm 0 9423 476 0 31 0 27504 488 - S p6 0:00.15 ftp atuin 0 9540 476 0 31 0 27384 504 - R+ p6 0:00.01 ps -axl 0 9301 9299 0 31 0 27332 452 - Ss+ p7 0:00.01 /usr/X11R6/bin/luit 0 9302 9301 0 31 0 27784 888 - Ss+ p8 0:00.03 bash 0 9321 9319 0 31 0 27332 452 - Ss+ p9 0:00.01 /usr/X11R6/bin/luit 0 9322 9321 0 31 0 27784 888 - Ss+ pa 0:00.02 bash
The problem with these options is that, although they show more information, the information is not always particularly useful, or it contains information that you don't want cluttering up the display when you are looking for a particular process.
Fortunately, all versions of
ps also include the ability to specify what columns are displayed. You can use this to great effect, either only picking out the information you want or, in a heterogeneous environment, you can use it to create a standardized output across a range of different UNIX environments.
To use this feature, use the
-o command line option and list the individual columns that you want to display as a comma-separated list. Although there are differences between the ranges of columns available, many of them are standard across different UNIX versions. For example, pid, ppid (parent pid), command, RSS (resident set size or memory usage), and priority are available in all variants.
In use, you can use
-o to pick the columns and the display order. For example, to get the pid, ppid, and command, you would use
-opid,ppid,command, as shown within BSD in Listing 7, or
-opid,ppid,comm within SVR4, as seen in Listing 8.
Listing 7. Selecting specific columns in BSD
$ ps -o pid,ppid,command PID PPID COMMAND 391 332 /bin/bash 9165 391 emacs
Listing 8. Selecting specific columns in SVR4
$ ps -opid,ppid,comm PID PPID COMMAND 555 552 -sh 622 555 ps
Once you have selected the columns you like, you might then want to select how the information is ordered. The default for
ps is to sort the list of processes by the process ID, but this can have the effect of hiding the very information you are looking for. When looking for memory hungry processes, it is more useful to display the output listed in order of the memory used, rather than process ID.
ps variants support this option by using a command line option. BSD variants sort by memory usage when the
-m option is used, or by CPU usage when using
-r. Many SVR4 variants don't have a specific solution for this, but you can produce similar results in both environments by combining
ps with
sort. For example, to get a list of processes sorted by the amount of CPU they are using, you might use the command in Listing 9 within BSD.
Listing 9. Tracking usage by CPU in BSD
$ ps -A -o pid,%cpu,command|sort -n +1 ... 358 0.1 ftp 11425 0.1 /bin/bash 28684 0.3 trivial-rewrite -n rewrite -t unix -u 356 0.4 ssh 354 0.5 as 23988 1.1 emacs 136 14.6 cc1plus 26306 23.6 cpp
Within SVR4, you need to change
%cpu for
pcpu, but otherwise the command is identical (see Listing 10).
Listing 10. Tracking usage by CPU in SVR4
$ ps -e -opid,pcpu,comm|sort -n +1 ... 3 0.1 fsflush 555 0.1 -sh 627 0.2 sort 628 0.2 ps
This command chain works, because you have specifically ordered your process list columns and can therefore sort on those columns to get the information you really want. If you want to look for processes by a different criteria, there are other solutions available.
Listing specific processes
Obviously, once you get a list of running processes, you might want to list specific processes. An obvious way to do this is to combine the output of
ps with
grep to extract the information you want. On some UNIX variants, you might have access to a specific utility for doing this, such as
pgrep, but often it can be just as effective to use
grep if you are looking for specific commands:
$ ps -ef|grep bash
ps command also supports showing processes according to more specific criteria, such as user ID, parent process, or controlling terminal. For example, the
-U command line option limits the list of processes shown to those with the specified user name. For example, to show the processes currently owned by the root user, see Listing 11.
Listing 11. Listing processes by user
$ ps -U root PID TTY TIME CMD 0 ? 15:24 sched 1 ? 0:00 init 2 ? 0:00 pageout 3 ? 0:02 fsflush 308 ? 0:00 devfsadm 7 ? 0:06 svc.star ... 552 ? 0:00 in.telne 527 ? 0:00 dmispd 629 pts/1 0:00 ps 548 ? 0:01 snmpd
To get all of the processes on a specified terminal, use
-t, as shown here in Listing 12.
Listing 12. Listing by terminal
$ ps -t 3 PID TTY TIME CMD 19915 pts/3 00:00:00 bash 29145 pts/3 00:00:00 emacs 32256 pts/3 00:00:00 emacs
Once you have this information, you might want to use it to perform some operations on the processes.
Signaling multiple processes
One of the most common commands to run once you have found the process you are looking for is
kill. It sends one or more processes a specific signal. In the case of a daemon that has started multiple threads or child processes, you can also try sending a signal to the parent process to signal all processes. However, this doesn't work with all daemons and applications.
Obviously, you want to avoid having to manually pick out the processes. Some UNIX variants come with a tool called
pkill, which can send the same signal to processes matching a particular pattern or other criteria, such as those on a particular terminal, process group, user ID, or group ID list.
You can simulate the basic operation of sending a signal to multiple processes matching a particular command pattern by chaining together the
xargs and
kill commands. For example, to send the
kill signal to all of the processes with "httpd" in their command, you might use:
$ ps -e -opid,command |grep httpd|awk '{print $1}'|xargs kill -9
It is easier to understand if you dissect the individual elements:
$ ps -e -opid,command
This shows a list of all the running processes (in an SVR4 system, use
-A for BSD). It shows only the process ID and command that was being executed. You don't need any other information, and using more detailed output might introduce text that would otherwise match your search:
$ ps -e -opid,command |grep httpd
This extracts only processes that have httpd in the command (since the only other information being generated from the process list is the process ID):
$ ps -e -opid,command |grep httpd|awk '{print $1}'
By using
awk, you filter the output printing out of only the first argument, the process ID:
$ ps -e -opid,command |grep httpd|awk '{print $1}'|xargs kill -9
xargs command takes a list of space-delimited items (spaces that include returns, linefeeds, tabs, and one or more spaces) and formats it as a list of arguments supplied to the given command -- in this case, the
kill command.
It is best to place this into a script with a suitable name (
pkill or
killbyname). You can set the script to accept two arguments, the signal and the text to be matched, and even account for OS differences, as shown in Listing 13.
Listing 13. Killing processes by command string
#!/bin/sh HOSTTYPE=`uname -s` SIGNAL=$1 STRING=$2 if [ -z "$1" -o -z "$2" ] then echo Usage: $0 signal string exit 1 fi case $HOSTTYPE in Darwin|BSD) ps -a -opid,command | grep $STRING | awk '{ print $1; }' | xargs kill $SIGNAL ;; Linux|Solaris|AIX|HP-UX) ps -e -opid,command | grep $STRING | awk '{ print $1; }' | xargs kill $SIGNAL ;; esac
The same basic technique shown here can be used for other similar collations.
Calculating memory usage
ps tool provides two columns that haven't been covered yet. The RSS column provides the "resident set size" of a process; this is the amount of physical memory used by the process and a good indication of how much real memory a given process is using. The VSZ column details the total amount of memory being used by a process, including what is allocated for internal storage, but often swapped to disk. Both of these columns are common to the majority of
ps variants.
Determining the two figures gives a good idea of memory usage. If you combine the output from
ps with
grep to select specific processes and
awk to calculate the totals, you can get a good idea of how much physical and virtual memory is being used up by single application, or an application and its children.
For example, to determine the amount of real and virtual memory being used by the
bash process, you could use the command in Listing 14.
Listing 14. Calculating memory usage with
ps and
$ ps -A -o rss,vsz,command|grep bash | \ awk '{rss += $1; vsz += $2 } END { print "Real: ",rss, "Virtual: ",vsz }' Real: 4004 Virtual: 305624
This can be particularly useful when you are diagnosing memory and swap usage problems.
Using a job control compatible shell
It is fairly common for a typical system administrator to have more than one or two specific tasks on the go at any one time. Although you might have more than one connection open to a server at any time -- whether that is multiple terminal windows (through xterm, for example) or other terminals, or remotely through SSH or Telnet -- there are times when within your active shell or environment you want to control or monitor multiple processes.
All shells support the option to run a command automatically in the background by appending the ampersand (&) to the end of the command. But sometimes you want to put an interactive application, such as an editor into the background so that you can run a shell command and then return to your editor session.
The ability to control background processes in this way is called job control and a standard feature on both the Korn and C shells, and also open source shells, such as bash and zsh.
For basic job control within the shell every time you start a command to run in the background, the command (which can be any valid command line, even inline scripts) is given a job reference ID.
$ find / -name "core" >/tmp/corelist 2>&1 & [3] 11957
You can get a list of the running background jobs using the
jobs command, as shown in Listing 15.
Listing 15. Using the
jobs command
$ jobs [1]- Stopped emacs MCSLP/Intranet/News.pm [2]+ Stopped emacs MCSLP/Intranet/Media.pm [3] Running find / -name "core" >/tmp/corelist 2>&1 &
In the listing, the second
emacs command is denoted with the + sign. This indicates that the shell considers it to be the currently active job. The
find command you started previously is not the active job, because it does not require interaction (although it generates output, it doesn't require input to continue), and therefore is not the active process. The first emacs process is denoted with
-- to indicate that the shell considers this the previously active command. You can reference these jobs using the
%+ and
%- strings, respectively.
You can switch any of these running jobs to be the foreground process by typing
fg followed by the job number, or one of the job strings (
%-). If you omit a reference, the shell switches to the currently active job.
To suspend the currently running process, press Control-Z. You can reconfigure this using:
ftp> [3]+ Stopped ftp atuin
This works with many different commands and applications. It should also work for the majority of simple commands you run in the shell, such as
ls or
find. Note that the job is marked as Stopped. This means that the execution of the command has been paused. To switch the command into a background process, use the
bg command. Like
bg either takes a job reference or defaults to the currently active job with no arguments. If the command is one that requires input (an editor, FTP, and so forth), then the next time you press return after the
bg command, you will be warned that the process has been temporarily suspended (see Listing 16).
Listing 16. Warning that process has been temporarily suspended
$ bg [3]+ ftp atuin & $ [3]+ Stopped
Note that if your background command generates output and you haven't redirected it, it will be output to the screen, even if you have placed the command in the background through job control .
In a busy environment, job control becomes one of the easiest ways to manage and control multiple background jobs, or to quickly drop out of editors and other commands back to your active shell (as opposed to running a new shell).
Running processes reliably in the background
You will occasionally want to run a script, utility, or command line in the background. However, most systems terminate a command running in the background if the user is disconnected, or they log out, which can be opposite of your intentions if you want to log in, start a command, and log out again.
Such termination can be particularly frustrating if you have to restart or otherwise re-initialize background or daemon processes that do not automatically daemonize themselves, or that rely on a separate script to start and manage the execution of the of a daemon application. The MySQL
mysqld_safe script is a good example of a script that works in this way.
To prevent the application from automatically terminating when you log out, use the
nohup command as a prefix to the command line or tool you want to run, like this:
$ nohup find/ -name core
Unless you specifically redirect the output of your commands,
nohup automatically writes the standard output and standard error to a file called
nohup.out in the current directory.
You can output to your own file just by using standard redirection, but remember to redirect both the output and error streams, for example:
$ nohup find/ -name core >/tmp/corefind.out 2>&1
I find that I almost automatically use
nohup to run any command that I think will last longer than two or three minutes, even if I am running the command on the console. This probably has as much to do with the automatic redirection of the output than its ability to prevent termination during a connection failure.
Using the techniques shown in this article, you should be able to quickly find the UNIX processes you want, and the information about them. If you are in a heterogeneous environment, then you can also use the command line options to standardize the output you generate, making it easier for you to find the processes you want.

CAMDEN He's frayed, flaking and faded.
Over time, his seven-foot-tall portrait, in a stairwell of the Camden County Historical Society, has aged badly, like the painting in Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Lord Camden, who gave the city its name, has a green pallor. His flowing wig, lace cuffs and full-lined robe are dingy. Creases and tears have shown up across the canvas.
But that's about to change.
The Richard C. von Hess Foundation in Philadelphia, which has provided grants to the arts and conservation communities, contributed the $5,000 needed to restore the painting to its original glory.

It hasn't been a smooth few weeks for Arsene Wenger and Arsenal.
Apart from a nervy 1-0 win over Queens Park Rangers in the Premier League and an extra-time miracle against Reading in the Capital One Cup, Arsenal have lost three times and drawn once.
All this, of course, on the back of some solid and encouraging performances at the start of the season that suggested that this could be the first season in quite a few that Arsenal finally get their hands on some silverware.
It's still entirely possible that they do finish the season with a trophy—especially if Wenger considers a fourth-place finish as a trophy—but there's no denying that the Gunners are going through a recent slump.
Let's look at 10 reasons behind Arsenal's current run of poor form—and, as usual, feel free to have your say in the comments below.

Le tout en un Pro Classic est idéal pour la réhabilitation et la prévention de blessures.
The Xtrem is intended for jump training in snowboard, kite, skate, and for fun too.
Fixed, 180° or rotate 360°.
Shipped with its bag for easy carrying.
Très apprécié par les sportifs de haut niveau, préparation tout le long de l'année.
The Gyroboard is an all-in-one sports board training tool for use in the sporting, fitness and rehabilitation market. It combines the best features of balance, wobble and rocker boards.
The unique Gyroboard braking mechanism allows the rotation and tortion of the board to be slowed down, or securely locked into one position for safe exercising. The mechanism also has adjustable rubber mounts, allowing the deck to be set at different degrees. This means the user can control the speed and stability of the equipment.
From rehabilitation to performance sports training, the versatility of this balance trainer makes it the perfect tool for all abilities.
The Deck
The deck can spin a full 360 degrees if you choose, or can be locked securely into one position. It can tilt and rock at varying angles (as controlled by the user), and of course, it wobbles!
The Flat Deck has a large surface area and is recommended for injury rehabilitation or serious core training. This is because it can be used more actively for practising the jumps and landing techniques required in most sports. The deck is very strong and has been tested to withstand the rigours of day to day use in a gym or physiotherapy clinic environment.

The final 'Recession Diaries' blog the Chicago Tribune does not want you to read
At a time when the newspaper I love needs every reader it can possibly hold onto, no story is more timely than that of a man covering the recession and telling people how to survive it. Yesterday, I became a casualty, but as much as I'm licking my wounds, I feel more sad for the readers who grew to love my blog "The Recession Diaries" as a resource, then had it taken away from them without any explanation whatsoever. That I am part of the news makes this all the more awkward, but as one deadline ends, another begins.
This is the blog the Chicago Tribune does not want you to read. See it for yourself and ask, as I would, "Well, why the fudge not?"
And so, the blog:
Goodbye from Lou Carlozo
The recession has truly hit home.
This will be my last post as a Chicago Tribune staff writer, and the author of the Recession Diaries.
Today, just an hour ago, I received word that this will be my last week as a Chicago Tribune employee. So as you can see, no one is immune from the recession–not even someone who writes about it daily, diligently and with an eye towards serving those who have had their bank accounts drained, their retirement accounts dashed, their hearts broken, and their hopes placed under a dangling sword of despair.
I, for one, refuse to be bitter or ungrateful. While it will take me some time to process being unemployed after 20-odd years in the field I love, I recognize now how much I need to take the advice I gave to you with every ounce of my passion. That is: Account for those things no recession can take away from you. Your faith in God. Your family. Your friends. Your health. Your many blessings.
I am part of an industry-wide trend that will likely result in the death of print journalism within five years time. That is not what the higher-ups would like me to tell you, nor is it a result of anything wrong that they have done. On the contrary, I admire Sam Zell and all he has done to keep this company going. I have not always agreed with the new ownership's decisions or rationale, but my opinions come from an uninformed perspective. I write for deadline; I do not know the intricacies of finance and balancing the books. (Perhaps my early dispatches on the recession front have proved this.)
So where will I be? Looking for a job. Playing with my kids. Walking, talking and praying with my wife. And of course, praying for and hopefully hearing from you, my readers, who have made this year of 2009 one of the most rewarding ever. I started in this business in 1989 as a long-haired kid without a clue about journalism, but a heart for the written word, public service and fighting for the little guy. My hair has long since vanished–oh, the vagaries of middle age!–but the idealist and optimist in me refuses to walk gently into that good night. Nor will I allow it to do so.
Also, a tip of the hat to the best boss a man could ask for, Lara Weber. It was her idea to start this blog, and without her inspiration, support, and most of all guidance and good cheer, I could not have achieved anything on the recession reporting front. She's a woman any journalist would be lucky to call boss, confidant and dear, dear friend. I will miss you, Lara.
Please stay in touch, and wish me luck. firstname.lastname@example.com.
In God's Peace, Lou

I knew it! When I sent you an e-mail telling you how much I enjoyed your Recession Diaries and that I'm an underemployed musician who sang gigs on X-mas Eve and on Easter at the same church your wife preaches at (LPP), you didn't respond. My 6th sense told me right away that you had been "downsized" but it was when my left brain screamed, "VERIFY" and I googled your name that I had the proof. I'm telling you here that one day you will mine this irony for gold. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next month, but some day.
Did you have any hints from your 6th sense that you were about to be laid off? I did. I was laid off in early March. I had been considering using a $100 bill to buy a monthly pass Metra train ticket for work. My 6th sense said, "Hold off. You won't need it." I held off, deciding to wait until April to buy the pass. Surprise – or not – I was laid off March 9! So glad I listened to my 6th sense and didn't waste all that $. Now I need it to buy Ramen.

BMI View: Ooredoo has identified Myanmar as a potential mobile banking market with an estimated 60mn unbanked population. At present, Myanmar has less than 10% mobile penetration, a figure that is likely to increase sharply with the entry of Norway's Telenor and Qatar's Ooredoo (see 'Phones For The Masses: Too Much Too Soon', July 19). We believe that, with better market conditions, mobile banking could succeed in Myanmar, albeit only in the long term.
|Mobile Penetration To Reach 75% By 2017
|Mobile Penetration Rate (RHS)
BMI forecasts the number of mobile subscribers to increase to 52.4mn in 2017 following the issuance of new licences to Telenor and Ooredoo in July 2013. In line with the government's efforts to achieve 75% coverage within three years, the majority of citizens would have basic access to mobile phones. This provides the foremost condition needed for mobile banking to take root in the former military regime.
Mobile banking is not a new concept in emerging markets, where the bulk of the population has no direct access to banking facilities. However, mobile banking requires several conditions for it to reach mass market status. The most obvious is wide mobile coverage and penetration among the rural consumers - the main target segment for mobile banking. Second, regulators have to facilitate the development of electronic banking systems, by allowing telecoms firms to introduce these products without the hassle seen in the case of India. The Reserve Bank of India has labelled mobile money a banking - rather than telecoms - product, and therefore requires strict rules. Any mobile company wanting to enter must also partner with a bank. Third, a well-managed agent network - which can conduct cash-in and cash-out functions, enabling customers to convert cash into electronic money and back again in convenient locations - is essential. Because of the difficulties of performing all these requirements to perfection, only a handful of mobile banking deployments have reached a sustainable scale. These include M-Pesa in Kenya, MTN Uganda, Vodacom Tanzania, FNB in South Africa, and GCASH and Smart Money in the Philippines.
Ooredoo has estimated it will have a potential market of 60mn unbanked rural customers in Myanmar once its network is fully deployed. The operator currently offers mobile financial services including money transfers, account top-ups, and bill payment to subscribers in Qatar, Indonesia, and Tunisia. Despite Ooredoo's extensive experience, BMI believes Myanmar still has a long way to go before the concept of mobile banking sets in. This is because the country lacks all three necessary conditions needed for scalable mobile banking business, and the trickiest of the three could be the inadequate regulatory framework. Poorly-defined or continually revised regulatory frameworks are the most notorious barriers to the development of many promising mobile markets in Asia.

BTW, I wanted to say that I really appreciate that everyone seems to shows respect and support on this board. I haven't been too involved on the June birth board because it drives me crazy how adults can sometimes be so disrespectful to each other. No need to experience middle school all over again... so, thank you!!
No sign of IC with 1st preg. but IC with subsequent.. anyone??

lol this is off topic but my brothers name is nathan and matthew. Yeah i think it is interesting that you have had no problems before with your first 2 pregnancies. This is my first so the problem was discovered and I had none of the causing factors that are listed so I found it strange as well. And I am on the april 2013 board and I always like that board there are several really helpful people I enjoy them. I have peaked into other boards and discovered they had some catty drama!!! I also heard the have "clicks" I was like wow! You are welcome to join any of the boards even if you are not due that month. But I have like the april board and they have helped me through bed rest!
My doctors are also really puzzled. They think it *could* be all the pushing I did with my daughter, or the fact that I had two D&C
But who knows - it seems to be a mystery....best of luck to you!!
I also have a similar story and doctor's aren't sure if it is "true" IC since I needed to be induced with my Baby #1. I made it to 41.5 weeks, and never dilated past a 5 with 36 hours of pitocin, so ended up with a c-section also.
At 20 weeks, I went for an anatomy scan and was funneled down to 0.6 cm of cervix left (not dilated). I am now 32.5 weeks, and cerclage is holding strong. OB thinks I will go again to 40+ weeks, since I have been holding so well (with about 1.5 cm of cervix). I did SBR for 3 weeks, and have been on MBR since. I do lift and carry my 25+ lb toddler a bit, but I do also have a FT nanny and my grandma stays with me to help out around the house. So I think all of the additional help was a big bonus for me and helped a ton!
Lots of luck ladies, this is still a mystery to me and my docs.
Adam 7/14/2011
IC and Emergency cerclage 10/11/12, Zack arrived via repeat C-section 2/18/13
I am in this boat, too. My first pregnancy had no complications, and I was induced at 41 weeks. I had a long labor and ended up pushing for 3+ hours. Now this pregnancy they found me with a short cervix at my anatomy scan. They watched me for 3 weeks and then did a rescue cerglage at 23w5d. My doctor also speculates that there may have been some damage done when I gave birth to my son (he weighed 9 lbs 11 oz). It's definitely frustrating and scary, especially since everything went so smoothly last time. Now I am at home on strict bed rest, and my doctor thinks I'll be on bed rest until at least 36 weeks (I am 26 weeks now).
I have had similar experiences as you all. My first was born at 37.5 weeks and after three hours of pushing I had a cesarean. My second came at 28 weeks for unknown reasons. My water never broke, I just dilated and the bag went into my vagina. I am now 16 weeks pregnant with number three. I'm doing progesterone and looking into a pessary for cervical support. It is so frustrating not knowing why something went wrong!

Re: Where is my refund?GDJ Mar 29, 2013 9:58 AM (in response to cayem)
And here I was upset because a Twitter app suddenly appeared on my device. Hopefully one of the moderators will be along to help.
You may want to contest the charges through your bank, they will look into it and deal with B&N. I have done this with CCs before, I don't have a debit card, but I would assume there is a similar process.
Re: Where is my refund?Alex Garcia Mar 29, 2013 10:33 AM (in response to cayem)
Hi cayem,
I've confirmed with Customer Service your issue is being looked into.
I'm extremely sorry for what you've experienced and certainly understand your frustration.
Please feel free to PM me any add'l details, and I'll be glad to help.

Re: Where is my refund?compulsivereaderTX Mar 29, 2013 6:08 PM (in response to cayem)
yikes! I hope nothing bounced because of all that! The charges could add up very quickly. I'd be going crazy!
I've had charges that needed to be reversed in the past but they were always fixed immediately. Can't understand how BN could let that much of an overcharge go on that long without fixing it. Good luck and hope you get it fixed soon.

Re: Where is my refund?cayem Apr 1, 2013 9:22 AM (in response to cayem)
Wow. I really poked the bear with my post. In response to a few of the comments and to give an update. To the person who made a comment about fine print. There is no fine print. I tried to buy an e-book. There was an error, and it said to try again. I didn't know how many times I clicked it. I just really wanted the book so I kept hitting to try again. This was no fault of my own, as I was told later by one of the many customer service reps that I spoke with, that they had a computer glitch that night, thus my getting charged many times.
Yes, it would have sucked if my account got overdrawn. As this was my debit card that got charged and so it came directly out of my main checking account. Thank goodness that wasn't an issue.
For the people that said they haven't had an issue with customer service, I say, "Consider yourself blessed." This has been the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life.
After calling on Friday, I talked to someone and was on hold for an hour. They gave me a new number. That lady tried to help, but after 45 minutes said there was nothing she could do and told me to call back the main number. I did that. The new supervisor I was on the phone with said they had escalated the issue to management and that I would get a response in 48-72 hours. After three weeks of dealing with this, and now in my eighth hour of phone conversations/ waiting on hold with them, I said I wasn't getting off the phone until it was resolved. He goes back and forth with someone for another 30 minutes, keeping me on hold off and on. He tries to tell me to call back on Monday. Finally, he gets frustrated gives me a number here in the states to call.
I called this number and was amazed that a person, a real person, answered the phone. After another thirty minutes on the phone with someone, she tells me she will look into and call me back... and she did! She was completely horrified by the whole situation. She said the fastest way to resolve the problem is to overnight me a check, which should go out today, and be at my house tomorrow.
So, after over 9 hours on the phone either talking or being on hold, I should get a check in the mail tomorrow and a 25.00 gift card for all my trouble, which I must say at this point seems more like a pittance.
Re: Where is my refund?TheWind Apr 1, 2013 9:30 AM (in response to cayem)All that, or just call the credit card issuer. ....... and move on.

Less is more: Kajal Aggarwal
By Neelima Menon
Published: 30th August 2013 12:48 PM
Last Updated: 30th August 2013 12:57 PM
After making inroads into Bollywood with Singham and Special 26, Kajal Aggarwal is currently on a signing spree down South. She has as many as five releases this year and is working round the clock on Telugu and Tamil projects, apart from endorsing a handful of products (the latest being Bru coffee). Be it hotting up the screen in a bikini or her scorching magazine covers, Aggarwal knows how to up her glamour quotient. Fitness, she says, is a necessity and her trainer, Bharath, at Gold's Gym keeps her motivated. More from her:
Fitness basics
When I am shooting outdoors, I always carry a yoga mat and practise yoga five times a week. Otherwise, in Mumbai and Hyderabad, I train at the Gold's Gym where I do a combination of cardio and weight training. I also like to experiment with zumba, pilates and spinning.
I try to eat as healthy as possible and include carbs, proteins, vitamins and good fats in my daily menu. I drink lots of water and love everything fresh, so you can see a lot of colourful salads, fruits and vegetables in my diet. On the sets, I carry home-cooked food.
Eating out
I love Japanese and Thai as I think they have a good mix of proteins, vegetables, sea weed and seafood. Sushi features high on my list.
Skin deep
I use a good sunscreen and avoid make-up when I am not shooting to allow my skin to breathe. My only skincare essentials are a moisturiser and lip balm. 'Less is more' is my motto.

On Sunday at Mary, Mother of God Parish, Holy Rosary Church, the Rev. Phil Altavilla, the pastor of the Cathedral of St. Peter, and Rabbi Joe Mendelsohn examined the church's relationship between the Church and non-Christian religions, such as the Jewish and Islamic religions.
"Vatican II marks the commitment of the Catholic Church to live in a religiously pluralist world with an attitude of humility, respect and mutual esteem," the Rev. Altavilla said. "By affirming the many values that are shared by the church and non-Christian religions, the council gives expression to the church's desire to be an agent of peace and reconciliation in the world."
Rabbi Mendelsohn agreed with most of the Rev. Altavilla's suggestions but said more information needs to be made available so that everyone can understand each other better.
Sitting in the front pew, the Rev. Cyril Edwards of Holy Rosary Church watched the two speakers attentively, hoping the first part of the series he spearheaded would provide valuable information to the dozens gathered.
"This is important because it's a lot of history we are focusing on in this series," the Rev. Edwards said. "I think tonight went extremely well."
