|This specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for communicating information about the last activity associated with an XMPP entity. It is typically used by an IM client to retrieve the most recent presence information from an offline contact by sending a last activity request to the server that hosts the account controlled by the contact.

It is often helpful to know the time of the last activity associated with a entity. The canonical usage is to discover when a disconnected user last accessed its server. The 'jabber:iq:last' namespace provides a method for retrieving that information. The 'jabber:iq:last' namespace can also be used to discover or publicize when a connected user was last active on the server (i.e., the user's idle time) or to query servers and components about their current uptime.
In order to request last activity information regarding another entity, the requesting entity sends an <iq/> stanza of type "get" to the target entity, containing a <query/> element qualified by the 'jabber:iq:last' namespace:
<iq firstname.lastname@example.com/orchard' id='last1' email@example.com' type='get'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:last'/> </iq>
The target entity MUST return either an IQ-result or an IQ-error. When returning an IQ-result, the target entity sends an <iq/> stanza of type='result' containing a <query/> element with a REQUIRED 'seconds' attribute and OPTIONAL XML character data.
<iq firstname.lastname@example.com' id='last1' firstname.lastname@example.com/orchard' type='result'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:last' seconds='903'/> </iq>
The requesting entity interprets the IQ-result based on the responding entity's JID type in order to determine the meaning of the information. Specifically, the information means something different depending on the identity of the responding entity:
These differences are explained more fully below.
The primary usage of the 'jabber:iq:last' namespace is to find out how long ago a user logged out (and, additionally, what their status message was at that time). This primary usage assumes that the IQ-get is sent to a bare JID <firstname.lastname@example.com>. When used in this way, the <query/> element contained in the IQ-result has a 'seconds' attribute, which is the number of seconds that have passed since the user last logged out. In addition, the element MAY contain XML character data that specifies the status message of the last unavailable presence received from the user. An example is shown below:
<iq firstname.lastname@example.com/orchard' id='last1' firstname.lastname@example.com' type='get'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:last'/> </iq>
As specified in XMPP Core [1] and XMPP IM [2], an IQ stanza of type "get" sent to a bare JID <email@example.com> is handled by the user's server on the user's behalf, not delivered to one or more connected or available resources.
If the requesting entity is not authorized to view the user's presence information (normally via a presence subscription as defined in XMPP-IM), the user's server MUST NOT return last activity information but instead MUST return a <forbidden/> error in response to the last activity request.
<iq email@example.com' id='last1' email@example.com/orchard' type='error'> <error type='auth'> <forbidden xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/> </error> </iq>
If the requesting entity is authorized to view the user's presence information, the server shall return information about the last presence activity recorded by the server for that user.
<iq firstname.lastname@example.com' id='last1' email@example.com/orchard' type='result'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:last' seconds='903'>Heading Home</query> </iq>
In this example, the user logged out fifteen minutes and three seconds ago, and when they logged out they sent a presence stanza of type='unavailable' whose <status/> element contained the text "Heading Home".
If the user has at least one connected or available resource when the server receives the request, the response MUST (subject to local security policies) contain an empty <query/> element whose 'seconds' attribute is set to a value of '0'.
A requesting entity can send a last activity query to the full JID <firstname.lastname@example.com/resource> of a connected or available resource associated with an account.
<iq firstname.lastname@example.com/orchard' id='last2' email@example.com/balcony' type='get'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:last'/> </iq>
In this case, the user's server shall either deliver the IQ to an available resource or respond on behalf of the user.
In particular, as with the offline query use case above, if the requesting entity is not authorized to view the user's presence information (normally via a presence subscription as defined in XMPP IM), the user's server MUST NOT deliver the IQ-get to an available resource but instead MUST return a <forbidden/> error in response to the last activity request.
<iq firstname.lastname@example.com' id='last1' email@example.com/orchard' type='error'> <error type='auth'> <forbidden xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/> </error> </iq>
If the user's server delivers the IQ-get to one of the user's available resources, the user's client MAY respond with the idle time of the user (i.e., the last time that a human user interacted with the client application).
<iq email@example.com/balcony' id='last2' email@example.com/orchard' type='result'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:last' seconds='123'/> </iq>
In the foregoing example, the user has been idle for about two minutes.
Support for this functionality is OPTIONAL. A client that does not support the protocol, or that does not wish to divulge this information, MUST return a <service-unavailable/> error.
<iq email@example.com/balcony' id='last2' email@example.com/orchard' type='error'> <error type='cancel'> <service-unavailable xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/> </error> </iq>
If there is no available resource matching the <firstname.lastname@example.com> in the 'to' attribute of the request, the server MUST follow the rules in XMPP IM in order to determine what error stanza to return.
When the last activity query is sent to a server or component (i.e., to a JID of the form <domain.tld>), the information contained in the IQ reply reflects the uptime of the JID sending the reply. The seconds attribute specifies how long the host has been running since it was last (re-)started. The <query/> element SHOULD NOT contain XML character data.
<iq firstname.lastname@example.com/orchard' id='last3' to='capulet.com' type='get'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:last'/> </iq>
<iq from='capulet.com' id='last3' firstname.lastname@example.com/orchard' type='result'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:last' seconds='123456'/> </iq>
In this example, the server has been running for a little more than 34 hours.
If an entity supports the Last Activity protocol, it MUST advertise that fact in its responses to Service Discovery (XEP-0030) [3] information ("disco#info") requests by returning a feature of "jabber:iq:last".
<iq firstname.lastname@example.com/roundabout' id='disco1' to='jabber.org' type='get'> <query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'/> </iq>
<iq from='jabber.org' id='disco1' email@example.com/roundabout' type='result'> <query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'> <feature var='jabber:iq:last'/> </query> </iq>
In order for an application to determine whether an entity supports this protocol, where possible it SHOULD use the dynamic, presence-based profile of service discovery defined in Entity Capabilities (XEP-0115) [4]. However, if an application has not received entity capabilities information from an entity, it SHOULD use explicit service discovery instead.
The information contained in an IQ reply for this namespace is inherently ambiguous. Specifically, for a bare JID <firstname.lastname@example.com> the information is the time since the JID was last connected to its server; for a full JID <firstname.lastname@example.com/resource> the information is the time since the resource was last active in the context of an existing session; and for a bare domain the information is the uptime for the server or component. An application MUST take these differences into account when presenting the information to a human user (if any).
A server MUST NOT allow an unauthorized entity to learn a user's network availability by sending a Last Activity request to a JID of the form <firstname.lastname@example.com> or <email@example.com/resource>, since doing so would constitute a "presence leak" as described in RFC 6120. That is, Last Activity information MAY be divulged only to those entities that have permission to view the user's presence via a presence subscription (potentially as restricted by Privacy Lists (XEP-0016) [5] or Blocking Command (XEP-0191) [6]).
A client MUST provide a way for a human user to disable sending of Last Activity responses from the client's full JID <email@example.com/resource>.
This document requires no interaction with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) [7].
No action on the part of the XMPP Registrar [8] is necessary as a result of this document, since 'jabber:iq:last' is already registered in the protocol namespaces registry located at <https://xmpp.org/registrar/namespaces.html>.

Home care for elderly branded 'shocking and disgraceful'
The standards of care provided for older people in their homes in the UK has been labelled "shocking and disgraceful" by a consumer group.
Which? found cases of missed visits, food left out of reach, medication not given and people being left in soiled beds during its investigation.
It concluded too many faced a "constant battle" to just get the basic help.
The UK Home Care Association said it was never acceptable for people to experience rushed or inadequate care.
Which? said the findings - based on a survey and diaries kept by the elderly - showed the system needed reform.
More than 500,000 people rely on help at home with activities such as washing and dressing.
Funding squeeze
These include both people who get council-funded care and those who pay for it themselves.
While Which? said there were some examples of excellent care, it claimed too many were being poorly served.
The group asked 30 people to keep diaries over the course of a week detailing their experiences.
One elderly lady was left alone in the dark for hours unable to find food or drink.
Another was left without a walking frame so she was unable to get to the bathroom and one man was not given vital medication for his diabetes.
The poll, of nearly 1,000 people, found one of the most common complaints was missed or rushed visits.
Nearly half of respondents said visits had been missed in the last six months with most not being warned in advance.
One daughter said: "They missed a day just after Christmas. I covered, but mum didn't contact me until early evening by which time she needed a lot of cleaning up.
"You wonder about the elderly with no relatives."
Which? said the situation was only likely to get worse as councils increasingly squeeze funding.
'Real crisis'
This report is just the latest in a series that has highlighted the struggle the elderly are facing.
At the end of last year the Equality and Human Rights Commission said standards were so bad they even breached human rights.
Which? executive director Richard Lloyd said: "Our investigation found some disgraceful examples of care with elderly people given little time or respect.
"The government can no longer claim to be shocked as report after report highlights the pitiful state of care for older people."
And Michelle Mitchell, of Age UK, said the system was putting the "health and dignity of older people at risk".
The UK Home Care Association, which represents the agencies which provide many of the services, said its members were increasingly under pressure to cut the length of visits by councils wanting to save money.
Mike Padgham, the group's chairman, said: "The report supports our growing concern over state-funded homecare.
"People and their families must be confident that they will receive dignified and effective care.
"They must look to government and local councils to place the needs of elderly and disabled people at the forefront in the current economic climate, to avoid the concerning picture described in today's report."
Councillor David Rogers, of the Local Government Association, said: "This research highlights the very real crisis this country is facing in providing care for the elderly and vulnerable.
"We know there isn't enough money in the system and without fundamental reform the situation is only going to get worse and stories like this will sadly become increasingly common."
The government has promised to publish plans this year to overhaul the system in England. One of the aims of the forthcoming changes is to create a fairer and better-funded system.
The other parts of the UK are also looking at their systems.
Even in Scotland, where care is provided free, services are having to be rationed to only those who are the most in need because finances are stretched.

At Maimonides we understand that patients who face illness and hospitalization often have social/emotional concerns that need to be addressed. Research has shown that social work interventions with cancer survivors may improve length of survival, as it reduces an individual's stress level and helps to provide a continuum of care. The Case Management Department has NYS Certified Social Workers to help you with those needs.
Our oncology social worker offers emotional and practical support to cancer patients and their families through individual counseling and support groups. Their work helps patients attain the best possible quality of life from new diagnoses through ongoing illness and treatment to end-of-life issues when appropriate. The social worker can help clients handle the challenges of a cancer diagnosis, including speaking, understanding treatment options, coping with feelings and reducing stress, as well as navigating family relationships and the workplace. They can connect patients with additional services, as well as refer them to any other necessary health professionals, such as a nutritionist or a psychologist.
At the Maimonides Cancer Center, there is an on-site resource center with information to promote cancer awareness and prevention. Here, you can gain valuable information about relevant issues, including treatment options, side effects, clinical trials and new developments. At the resource center, we offer books, magazines, tapes, brochures and online content on different cancer-related issues.
This free service is offered to cancer patients and meets on the first Monday of each month. An attorney from New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG) is available for those with a cancer diagnosis to provide legal counseling and advocacy for patients confronting denial of insurance coverage, employment discrimination, and/or the need for negotiation support with Public Assistance programs through both state and federal agencies. Assistance will also be provided on issues such as legal rights, wills, debtor issues, immigration, trust and estates, custody/guardianship, and durable powers of attorney. If you are unable to travel, phone consultations may be arranged.
Every Thursday, consultants from Modern Image Post-Mastectomy Boutique provide assistance with post-mastectomy bras, prosthesis, wigs and all other related care products covered by most insurance companies. Free wigs donated by the American Cancer Society are also available on-site.
Our free-of-charge bi-monthly support groups focus on living with cancer and the changes created by the disease and its treatment. Participants discuss their concerns, issues and individual roles in the cancer treatment process. The groups give patients a wonderful opportunity to share information and give support to others who are facing similar challenges brought on by cancer. Support groups are a great place to find reassurance, encouragement and comfort.
This support group for men with prostate cancer meets twice a month. Please call (718) 765-2500 for more information.
This support group for individuals with cancer and their families and friends also meets twice a month. Please call (718) 765-2500 for details.
Sponsored once a month by the American Cancer Society, volunteer cosmetologists teach patients how to improve their confidence and pamper themselves using make-up techniques. Each woman receives complimentary cosmetics and skin care products donated by the co-sponsored cosmetic brand.

OCR List
From UA Libraries Digital Services Planning and Documentation
When do you need an OCR List?
When any of the content in the current upload is typewritten (versus handwritten).
When you can do without creating an OCR List:
- If NONE of the items are typewritten, you can tell the makeJpegs script that there are no items to OCR. (Upon not finding the ocrList.txt file, it will ask you if you want to OCR anything. You will tell it no.)
- If ALL the of items are typewritten, you can ask the makeJpegs script to OCR everything. (Upon not finding the ocrList.txt file, it will ask you if you want to OCR anything. You will tell it yes, then choose the option to OCR the entire content of the upload.)
How to create an OCR List
- Open the collection's TrackingFiles log file
- For the files you are uploading, copy those rows to a new spreadsheet
- In the new spreadsheet, delete all columns EXCEPT: Filename and OCR?
- This will results in a two-column list, with only one filename per line -- which is what the script is looking for
- OCR? should be filled in with 1 or 0 for each item (1=yes to OCR, more than half of the item is typewritten, 0=no to OCR)
- If it isn't, take the time to look over the items in Bridge and fill in that column
- Save the new spreadsheet as tab delimited file called [collection number].ocrList.txt
- Example: u0003_0001577.ocrList.txt
- Put in collection's Admin folder (in Digital_Coll_Completed directory, of course!)

We love smart green design competitions here at Inhabitat! Any opportunity to identify and support bold original talent is a mission that we take pretty seriously. Earlier this spring, we were onsite to judge and serve as a sponsor for Project Earth Day, and just this week a design pal gave us a great tip regarding the Chicago based fashion designer, Abigail Glaum-Lathbury, a June 2008 finalist in the Ideablob Design Competition. We wanted to give our reader's a first-hand opportunity to see and vote on Abigail's fabulous, eco-friendly fashions. Her label, Elmidae, needs your vote in order to close in on the possibility of winning a $10,000 award!
Read on for details on how you can CAST YOUR VOTE to make this rising design star a key player on the sustainable style circuit>>>
Elmidae's collections are innovative and resourceful in their clever use of leftover, 'remaindered' fabrics and gorgeous natural fibers. Abigail-Glaum Lathbury is a big Natural Sciences geek and is unabashedly inspired by entomology and neurology for her most recent creations. (Yes, those are little pins that you see securing the model like an exotic beetle for closer inspection!)
In order for the young designer to continue on her mission of creating improved sustainable fabrics and a rockin' environmentally responsible design company, she decided to apply for the Ideablob Design Competition cash prize. Not only do we think that her work is unique and worthy of the big prize, but we love that her heart is in all the right places when it comes to doing good business and setting up good practices.
If you are as convinced as we were upon discovering Elmidae, cast your vote before the Monday, June 30th deadline!
Abigail Glaum-Lathbury writes:
"Much of the fabric that I currently use is remaindered fabric, or fabric that would otherwise often end up in a dump (left overs from larger design houses). But more importantly, all of the fabrics that I use are made from natural fibers. Each collection also features a hand printed (and drawn) repeat pattern. The inks are all water-based and non-toxic, and by hand printing on a small scale, I print exactly what I have orders for, eliminating the majority of the waste that comes from industrial printing. All of the materials used for shipping are from recycled and recyclable materials, also eliminating excess plastics and waste. Additionally, all of our production is sewn locally. Not only does this eliminate huge amounts of carbon emissions, but it also promotes a sustainable, local economy. And last but not least, the company is completely car free!"
"A great deal of the prize money (fingers crossed) would go towards expanding the sustainable and organic fabric selections within my collection. The Spring 09 collection, which I am in the finishing stages of, will have the most eco friendly fabrics of any to date (about half). It is surprisingly difficult to find materials that are not of the classic raw hemp variety. For my Fall 09 collection, my goal is to have the line completely transitioned and made entirely from eco-friendly materials."
Please vote online before the Monday, June 30th deadline!

Simplify administration of PowerEdge servers with the embedded intelligence of the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller and with the robust, timesaving management features of the entire Dell OpenManage portfolio.
|Agent-free management from iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller offers real-time monitoring for the server and internal storage devices. It also monitors server health, multiple internal parameters and system performance without requiring agents to be installed in the server operating system — agents which could require additional upkeep and consume valuable CPU time.
|Lifecycle Controller provides deployment, update and support automation on demand to maximize data center efficiency and can automatically inventory, monitor and update any new Dell PowerEdge system added to the data center. It includes managed and persistent onboard storage that, when combined with its systems management capabilities, eliminates the need for traditional media-based system management tools and utilities.
|Zero-touch automated deployment discovers and auto-configures Dell servers by using configuration files stored in designated locations on an internal network, which can reduce setup time and manual entry errors. Administrators can simply rack, cable and walk away.
|Automated server updates synchronize servers to firmware baselines stored at designated locations on an internal network to simplify firmware updates.
|The Tech Support Report, automatically maintained by iDRAC, is a continuously updated health and status report that monitors over 5,000 key system parameters and can help cut time needed to identify and resolve server issues.
Monitor and manage from anywhere
Administer systems from your smartphone, laptop or at
the system with both local and remote management options.
- Use your smartphone with the OpenManage Mobile app to securely monitor remote systems, or connect to a server via Near Field Communications (NFC) to access a status report and logs using the iDRAC Quick Sync feature.
- Use a USB memory stick to upload configurations files for BIOS, iDRAC, PERC, LAN on motherboard (LOM) and network interface card (NIC) updates with the iDRAC Direct feature.
- Connect a laptop via USB to a specific server's embedded iDRAC8 management-console interface for robust "at the system" management.
Accelerate IT service deployment
Streamline infrastructure provisioning, speed up workload
deployment and simplify IT service delivery through the unified
console and highly intuitive user interface of Active
System Manager. Enhanced for the latest generation of
PowerEdge servers, it features:
|Template-based server and IO configurations, identity management and service migration capabilities
|Fast workload deployment with an expanding out-of-box template library
|Cloud enablement with support for
infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a
service (PaaS),
including Red Hat and VMware solutions
Stocking the future-ready data center
With high-performance processing, large memory capacity and innovative local storage options offering greater scalability throughout the portfolio, the latest generation of PowerEdge servers meets your needs today, with the hardware, headroom and simplified management to adapt as your workloads demand.

There are many microorganisms that can cause diarrhea, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Your child can pick up viruses, bacteria, or protozoa from other children, or from contaminated food and water. Food poisoning causes diarrhea very quickly. A milk allergy or food sensitivity, which may surface with the introduction of new foods, can also cause diarrhea.
Less common causes of diarrhea include reactions to medication, inflammatory bowel disease, hepatitis, cystic fibrosis, and pancreatitis. An anatomical deformity, such as a fistula, or a congenital defect, such as Hirschsprung's disease or short bowel syndrome, can also cause diarrhea. If your child's diarrhea arises from any of these conditions, she requires medical attention.
Most cases of simple diarrhea are caused by viruses. Viruses invade a child's intestinal tract, causing irritation and inflammation of the intestinal walls. Viruses also induce the cells lining the intestines to secrete fluids. The increase in fluid volume in turn increases peristalsis, the wavelike contractions of the intestines. The result is cramping and the loose, watery, frequent stools characteristic of diarrhea.
Vomiting and stomachache often accompany diarrhea, and abdominal cramps usually come and go, often occurring right before a bowel movement. Depending on the cause of the diarrhea, a fever may or may not be present. When a child is suffering from diarrhea, dehydration is always a serious concern, especially if her temperature is elevated. In the first two or three months of life, an infant can become dehydrated very quickly, so if your newborn develops diarrhea, call your physician.
In newborns, diarrhea is signaled by an increase in stools, stools that are unusually loose or watery, stools that are yellowish or greenish in color, or stools with a foul odor. You should always consult a doctor about a newborn's diarrhea.
If your child experiences severe or persistent abdominal pain with diarrhea, or has blood in the stool, call your doctor right away.
If your child has a case of diarrhea that lasts for longer than forty-eight hours, or inter mittens diarrhea that comes and goes over a period of two weeks or longer, seek the ad vice of your health care practitioner.
Vomiting that accompanies gastrointestinal upsets should not last for more than twenty four hours. Call your doctor if your child has been experiencing diarrhea with vomiting for longer than that.
Conventional Treatment
To prevent dehydration, oral electrolyte formulas, such as Pedialyte, Lytren, Ricelyte, and Resol, are commonly recommended for children with diarrhea.

- Colorado ammo magazine maker Magpul threatens to leave state over gun bill
Adam Lanza, who shot and killed 26 people -- including 20 children -- at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., last December, used ammunition magazines made by Erie-based Magpul Industries during the massacre, according to a report released Monday.
Magpul is planning to leave Colorado over the state's adoption of highly controversial new gun-control measures following the Sandy Hook shooting.
The new report, from Connecticut State Attorney Stephen Sedensky III, cites the discovery of a Bushmaster Model XM15-E2S rifle equipped with a PMAG 30 magazine in the same classroom Lanza's body was found.
The 30-round magazine, which is made by Magpul, contained 14 live 5.56-mm rounds of ammunition. There was a live 5.56-mm round in the rifle's chamber. The report also said investigators found a pair of empty PMAG 30 magazines "that were duct-taped together in a tactical configuration" in the same room.
In another classroom at the school, investigators turned up 24 rounds of 5.56-mm ammunition, of which "10 rounds were in one PMAG 30 magazine, 13 rounds were in another such magazine and one live round was on the floor," the report states.
It reveals that a third empty PMAG 30 magazine also was discovered in that classroom.
In addition to the Bushmaster, 20-year-old Lanza was found with a loaded semi-automatic Sig Sauer P226, a 9-mm pistol and a partially loaded Glock 20, 10-mm semi-automatic pistol that "appeared to be jammed." Police believe Lanza also killed his mother at their home before going to the school.
Magpul, which has about 250 employees at its Erie headquarters, took a highly visible and controversial position earlier this year as part of an effort to fight a series of gun control bills that came up for a vote in the state Legislature following the Sandy Hook massacre.
Among them was a bill, which became law this past summer, that prohibits the sale in Colorado of magazines that can hold more than 15 rounds, which includes the PMAG 30.
Magpul pledged to relocate its operations outside Colorado after the gun control legislation passed in March. Last month, the company told the Daily Camera that it is still in the process of doing so.
Attempts to reach Magpul by phone and email Monday were unsuccessful.
State Sen. Matt Jones, D-Louisville, said the fact that Magpul products were found at one of the worst mass shootings in American history "speaks for itself."
Jones voted for the high-capacity magazine limits law and did so because he said, in a tragic situation like Sandy Hook, requiring someone to have to change out magazines more often means less people would be hurt or killed.
"A smaller magazine size gives people more of a chance and a 30-round magazine gives people less of a chance," he said.
Jon Caldara, president of the conservative-leaning Independence Institute, said Magpul makes one of the highest quality magazines in the business and its products are ubiquitous across the firearms industry.
Trying to assign blame to the company for the tragedy in Newtown on Dec. 14, 2012, would be like blaming an automaker for building a vehicle that gets used in a crime, he said.
"If you're trying to make hay of this, you might as well make hay of Ford if a crime happens in any of their trucks," Caldara said.
Former State Rep. Claire Levy, D-Boulder, now executive director of the Colorado Center on Law and Policy, said the fact that Magpul's products were used in the Newtown shooting isn't terribly relevant to the gun control debate. She also voted for the ammunition limits bill earlier this year.
She said she supported the bill for the simple reason that "it shouldn't be easy to kill a lot of people quickly."
"I think the Legislature did the right thing and nothing that's happened since then has changed my mind," Levy said.

Others may look as if they have no flab and are showing great muscle tone, but you are feeling a little let down by your attempts. This can be frustrating and make you want to give up. However, before you quit, you should make sure you are not performing any of these common muscle building mistakes in your fitness routine.
Doing the same thing over and over. This is not good for any fitness routine. You can become easily bored and will most likely stop seeing results because the body adapts quickly. You need to switch things up and breathe new life into your fitness routine every once in a while. It will keep things interesting and help you to keep progressing. It will usually take your body about four to six weeks to get use to an exercise. So, you should try to remember every month to switch up your fitness routine in order to keep seeing the results that you want. This is where 9Round is ahead of the game. Our workout changes everyday.
Overloading on cardio alone. Cardio may seem to be great at burning fat, but it is not so good for building muscle mass. You should still do the cardio component of your fitness routine, but combining it with resistance moves is an even better combo! 9Round offers both anaerobic and aerobic (both cardio) training combined with resistance moves at each of the 9 stations! Win, win.
Your diet. At 9Round, each membership comes complete with nutritional guidance from a doctor on staff. He moderates the 9Round Nutrition forum, which is only a click away. It is important to eat and not starve, in order to build muscle and burn fat; however, you need to eat the proper things and not just stuff yourself with the closest food available. You want foods that will help you to increase the amount of energy you have for your fitness routines. You need the correct ratio of carbs, protein and healthy dietary fats.
No need to feel all alone in your quest for awesome muscle definition! We are here to help.

Mad for Carolina
Think you're wild about March Madness? You've got nothing on this guy. Meet Greg Cauley, the most dedicated—or, depending on who you ask, the craziest—college sports fan in America
It's a fine line, the difference between passionate fan and scary insane person. When you first meet Greg Cauley, you're not sure which one you're getting. Especially when the guy tells you he cares about the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Tar Heels so much he considers the school's teams his betrothed.
Greg Cauley is 58 years old and he's been to every Carolina home football game since 1974. He's been to every home basketball game since 1985.During that football streak, he's only missed one road game, and that was because the Tar Heels football team played in Maryland at the same time as the basketball team played a home game. He's traveled to 30 states to see the Tar Heels play. He has the ticket stubs to prove it, stuffed into an overflowing Saucony shoebox. He has a banner signed by every single Tar Heel basketball player and coach since 1975. Dean Smith. Michael Jordan. Tyler Hansbrough. They're all there. He's recorded every game on TV since 1982. The Carolina basketball powers-that-be know him so well that in February, for his 500th basketball game in the Smith Center, against Virginia, the ushers delivered a custom-made "500" cookie cake right to his seat. In his backyard stands a 3/4th-scale replica of the Victory Well on UNC's campus.
But Cauley's not who you might expect. A First Citizens Bank branch manager, he doesn't even live in Chapel Hill, but rather, five miles outside a tiny town called Kinston, down a country highway called Vine Swamp Road. A humble one-story house sits on two acres. What looks like an endless strip of farmland borders his property to the north, and to the east two dozen cattle graze. A neighbor two houses down lives in an actual log cabin. All this, more than two hours from Tobacco Road.
"I just don't know how he does it," says Tommy Howard, one of Cauley's oldest friends. "It's just so way over the top, over and beyond. I know most of us sports fans are a little crazy, but Greg is just….he's Greg."
I meet Cauley in Kinston last Thursday. A sky-blue flag bearing the NC logo flies on a fifty-foot pole in his front yard beside an American flag and the state flag of North Carolina. There's another one in the backyard, and on top of the pole is a cast-iron Ramses weathervane. There's also a Winged Victory sculpture in the corner of the yard near the road, facing the Victory Well. Behind the well is another sculpture, St. Michael Slaying The Devil.
"I try not to go so far as to say that's about Carolina-Duke," Cauley says, then grins. "But that is a devil."
In the driveway sits Cauley's new car, a white 2012 Ford Taurus SHO EcoBoost edition that he got in August. He's already put 12,000 miles on it. It's covered in at least twenty magnets, most which he handmade, ready for tomorrow's drive to Greensboro for Carolina's first games in the NCAA tournament. A two-foot Ramses ram logo goes is affid to the hood. On the dashboard rides Wax Ramses, a little ram-shaped candle Cauley got in 1972 that's ridden on his dash to every game.
Oh, and Cauley names his cars after space shuttles. This one: Atlantis.
"Why?" I ask.
He laughs. "Why do I do anything that I do?"
"You tell me."
"Oh, I don't know," he says. "Just because it's fun. That's what you're supposed to do, right? You're supposed to do what suits your passion. You're supposed to do what you care about."
Cauley cares so much even some Carolina fans have turned on him. But that's just….he's Greg.
When Cauley built the Victory Well replica in 2003, he hosted an unveiling barbecue—Carolina fans only—that turned out more than 100 people. He dedicated the structure to his parents, Rena and Jim. He got a plaque and everything. The barbecue has since become an annual tradition, now drawing more than 150 visitors from states away. "You could say I have an extended Carolina family," he says.
The Victory Well replica attracted the local media, which then attracted the trolls. Cauley was accosted online and sometimes even by phone—always anonymously. He was called a momma's boy, an attention whore, a freak, a weirdo. Cauley's response was, as usual, a headshake of disbelief and a laugh.
"I'd never tarnish all this by doing it for attention," he says.
The day I called him to start researching this piece, he thought he was getting pranked. It's happened before. On the surface, he's an easy target. The house is the same one he's lived in since high school. He's not married. Has no children. Lives with his mother.
"You could probably say I'm married to Carolina," he says. "That's just what I've planned my life around. I never considered trying to find anybody who would let me do this."
As for the insults, Cauley shrugs them off, too. "They just don't know what they're talking about."
It started when he was a kid. His parents and sisters were all Carolina fans, they'd watch every game together on television. Cauley wanted to go to the local high schools' basketball games but his parents wouldn't take him. Not until he was 10, when his dad, Jim, began teaching carpentry at South Lenoir High School. Dad took him to a game. Big game. Packed gym. In childlike wonder, Cauley lost himself, thinking the simplest thought over and over: Dude, it's a basketball game. His dad's cheers, the game, the electricity crackling through the crowd—like so many kids, it got Cauley high.
In a few years he made the freshman team but soon realized he was terrible, so to stay around the game he kept stats. While Cauley was in high school his father literally built their house with his own two hands. Cauley and his two sisters helped. It took a long time. To this day, the house still stands strong. For college, Cauley enrolled at the UNC-Chapel Hill, where he attended every game possible. When he graduated in 1976 he got into banking. He worked in Clinton, N.C. for a few years, then took a job back home in Kinston. He only grew more obsessed with Carolina sports. All of them. He went to baseball games, lacrosse games, soccer games. "If they had a tiddlywinks team," he says, "I'd go watch that, too."
That house he built with his father is the one he lives in now with Rena. Today, Cauley owns it and has no plans to leave. He likes that he helped build it.
"He's got a pretty fierce loyal streak in him," his mom says.
And that explains much of why Cauley lives where he does. He became the man of the family in 1986. That's when Dad died of brain cancer. With his sisters married and moved away, Cauley took it on himself to tend to his mother.
"If it weren't for Greg," Rena says, "I don't know what would've happened to me."
"Your parents, they enable you to be what you are and do what you do and, you know, live," Cauley says. "I got a good life here. I have a great job going, I like the people and I like the area. It just suits me. So I figure, least I can do is stick around and take care of Mom."
One thing about his dad's funeral: they originally planned it for one time, before realizing it conflicted with a Caroline-Maryland home game. They rescheduled. Carolina's basketball office sent flowers and gave Cauley extra tickets to the next game. After the funeral, Cauley took his mom along with his sisters and their husbands.
Cauley used to take Rena with him a lot more than he does now. She doesn't like to travel as much as she used to, and diehard sports fans are getting obscene anyhow. Some diehards are obsessed in a way that makes sports better, like Clipper Darrell, the Los Angeles Clippers superfan who dances with cheerleaders, or the late Freddy Schuman, better known as "Freddy Sez" who rallied New York Yankees fans with homemade signs and by banging a frying pan.
Then there are the lunatics. Alabama football fan Harvey Updyke was charged with poisoning the iconic Toomer's Corner oak trees, a huge piece of Auburn tradition. Following a baseball game last spring, some Los Angeles Dodgers fans beat San Francisco Giants fan Brian Stow into a coma.
While Cauley has neither witnessed nor experienced anything that awful, he has been cussed out, spit on, and threatened. He's returned to his car to find it vandalized, opposing teams' names scratched into the paint or nails positioned just so that if he were to roll forward or backward he'd pop a tire. The way some people act baffles Cauley. He vividly remembers the last time he spoke to someone the way he hears most sports fans speak today. He was in high school. He felt that his team got robbed by some bad calls, and in a moment of rage he called the referees words he made me swear I wouldn't write here—a less polite rendition of, "My heavens, you're extremely below average, you gentlemen who sleep with women who get paid for such things!"
"It just came out of nowhere," he says. "I felt like I should go wash my own mouth out with soap. I'd just lost perspective. There's never any reason to speak to someone like that. There's no reason to ever disrespect someone like that."
He worries that American sports fans may one day become like those in Europe, like soccer fans who riot or basketball fans who throw so much junk at players that teams have to install cages around the court.
"It's just the disintegration of a society when you see that," he says. "Human beings don't act like that. That's people becoming more like wild animals. They get so passionate they lose perspective. People forget—this is just entertainment. I love this stuff, and I know some things I do are pretty out there, but some people just take it way too far. I'm like, 'Dude, it's a basketball game.'"
Whatever abuse he takes, the games provide his fix. "It got to where I didn't feel right missing a game," Cauley says. "And now it's gotten to where I just can't fathom it. That doesn't even seem like a real thing that could happen."
Whether football or basketball, Cauley always wears his headset. he claps really loud and he yells a lot, too. It is to him what a workout or sex is to others, de-stressing, clearing his mind.
Cauley plans work around the fix, getting ahead and coordinating so that for 7 p.m. games he can leave around 1 or 2 p.m. "I'd rather sit in the gym for an hour than sit in traffic for an hour," he says. When games start at 9 p.m., he doesn't have to leave work early, but that means he gets home around 3 or 4 the next morning, giving just enough time for a nap before rising for work at 6:30 and hitting Bojangles—a Southern-style fast food chain enormously popular in North Carolina—for breakfast.
The cost is substantial. He's jilted friends by telling them if they want him to make it to a wedding or funeral to make sure it's not during a game. Football season tickets are $315 a year. Basketball, $650. Rams club dues, to stay eligible for season tickets, are an additional $1,000. Between cheap fast food, a tank of gas, food and drink at the games, a game day's total cost including the ticket runs $200. There were seven home football games and 18 home basketball games. That alone amounts to approximately $5,000 a year, not including postseason trips to bowl games—not that Carolina needs to worry about that next season—and NCAA tournament games. The drive from Kinston to Chapel Hill and back is no easy highway shot, demanding a trip through speed trap-riddled Raleigh. But Cauley keeps getting in the car. Lots of people don't understand Cauley. He doesn't understand them either.
"I see people at these games that don't make sense," he says. "Like, ladies that just go with their husbands and bring a book and sit down and read the whole time. Or balance a checkbook. I'm like, 'What are you doing?'"
Every road game he can't attend, Cauley watches on TV. Contrary to his at-the-game persona, at home he's no more nuts than you or me, but still totally just…Greg. During the telecast, his legs must always be crossed. The top leg must be crossed in the direction of Carolina's basket. He always has a Carolina mug full of sweet tea, and the Tar Heels logo must always face the TV screen. The game is always on Record.
The 16-by-12-foot room, a converted car port, overflows with memorabilia, things like a 1929 football program (the biggest players were 200 pounds), old UNC yearbooks, all those VHS tapes and DVDs, even a 4-by-8-foot rectangle of basketball court from Carolina's old Carmichael Gym.
As for the television, it's one of those bulky, boxy things, a 1995 RCA 52-inch monster.
"I'll keep it 'til it dies," he says proudly.
Like any good disciple, Cauley shares the faith. He's become a regional redistributor, taking the tickets his season-ticket-holding section buddies won't be using them and finding homes for them. He never resells for profit. "It's not about money," he says. "Nobody should make it about the money. If you're going to sell it, fine. Just sell it at face value and give someone a chance to see a game who might not otherwise get to. I just want someone who maybe couldn't have a chance to experience a Carolina game to get that opportunity."
One time, he sold a ticket to an acquaintance who turned around and sold it for $400.
"I wasn't ugly to him or anything," Cauley says, "but he'll never get another ticket from me."
Cauley even turned down a youth minister. The minister asked for tickets, Cauley said sure, minister said thanks, his buddy's a huge State fan and has long wanted to see State play Carolina in the Dean Dome. Cauley promptly rescinded the offer. "Keep it in the family," he told him.
The minister didn't much care for that.
So sometimes when he's denying people tickets, or refusing to invite non-Carolina fans to his cookouts, Greg Cauley rubs people the wrong way. "His thought is, 'Why let someone in our house who's supporting the other guys?'" says Howard. "Some people really don't like that, but he's fair about it. And you know, the truth is, he's one of the nicest guys you could meet."
Kay Thomas, who worked as the Carolina basketball offices secretary for 32 years and proved instrumental in helping Cauley secure all those signatures on that banner year after year, says he was "like a breath of fresh air every year." She gets drowned in autograph requests. Some fans are pushy. Some call everyday to check on their stuff. Cauley was always the opposite, she says, so gracious that Thomas would call him if it took her longer than she expected. He never complained.
Cauley missed the first half of Carolina's loss at Florida State this season because he had to attend a friend's brother's funeral. Considering that's the first time he's missed that much of a game in four decades and that his beloved Heels played so terribly, that'll probably be the last minute he ever misses. He's had friends and family reschedule weddings just so he can be there. He's lost friends, sure, but he's made plenty more.
A longtime friend named Brian Smith's uncle died a few months ago. Cauley and his mother went to the funeral. Brian, who is 35 and has known the Cauleys since he was in kindergarten, got to talking with Rena about the next day's Carolina-Duke showdown in Chapel Hill. Brian mentioned in passing, "Oh, man, that's on my bucket list, to see a Carolina-Duke game in the Smith Center."
When Cauley got home, he changed into his sweats and a T-shirt, then checked his messages. He had a voicemail from a friend who had an extra ticket. Cauley called her back, told her he'd take it. Then he put his suit back on and went back to the church and found Brian. Brian loved every second. Except for the part where Duke's Austin Rivers hit that three at the buzzer to win.
Same as he didn't build the Victory Well for attention, Cauley's streaks really aren't about The Streak. He couldn't build his life around a statistic.
"At some point, early on, I reached this understanding, I guess," he says. "You only have so many games you'll be able to attend. There's a finite number in your lifetime you can go to. And this is something I just really enjoy and I want to make sure I don't miss any opportunities. I'm not going to keep any kind of streaks alive. I'm going, really, just for the excitement. For that high."
And that's enough to make up for not having a wife or kids?
"It just never interested me all that much," he says.
There's never even been one girl. "I was a geek in high school," he says. "Big Star Trek fan. And then once I got into this routine later in life, I just had no interest in trying to find someone who might mess it up. Besides, it gets way more expensive, bringing other people to these games all the time."
As obsessed as he gets, when Cauley gets a chance to meet one of the Carolina players or coaches he remains remarkably even. A couple months ago he happened to be on the Dean Dome court, getting his picture taken for a travel magazine article, and at the end of the shoot, the players came out for practice, including Kinston native Reggie Bullock. Cauley watched for a minute, taking Bullock in up close, in what he describes as "the gladiators' arena," but then he left. "Didn't want to interrupt them," he says.
He's met Dean Smith, Phil Ford, Eric Montross, and others at Rams Club meetings and basketball banquets and such. He's shook their hand, talked for a few minutes, told them thank you. And that's it.
Then we talk about Brian Smith, and then I feel bad for making Cauley relive that Rivers shot—otherwise known as The Unfortunate Incident—so I suggest he put in his DVD of the Carolina-Duke game at Cameron. It takes him ten seconds to find it, third DVD from the top of a stack of about 50.
"Oh yeah," he says, smiling as Carolina goes up 20-5. "This is good."
Before I leave, Cauley urges me to try some banana pudding—Rena's just made it. I ask him what he thinks it'll take to end the streak. He doesn't hesitate. "I don't think the streak will die until I do. I just can't imagine missing a game."
Cauley talks about the high, but there's got to be more to this kind of devotion. Right?
Cauley just shakes his head. "I really don't know," he says. "I've been thinking about that because you keep asking, and I guess I'd have to get on a couch with a therapist or something to figure it out. But then they'd probably get into stuff like whether I hate my parents, or try to find something I was deprived of as a child, or maybe connect it to losing something at some point. But it's nothing like that. I've always had everything I needed. It's just my thing. So I guess that's the best explanation I can give you—that it's inexplicable."
Over the weekend, some non-Carolina fans started mocking Cauley in Greensboro when he began protesting calls during Sunday's game against Creighton. He saw some Carolina fans looking at him sideways and laughing. He doesn't care. Not even on the rare occasions that one of Carolina's own—one of his own family—turns on him. He recalls one game where, as always, he had his headset on as he stood on his feet clapping and hollering, far gone into his escape, he felt something hard hit him in the back. Then again in the shoulder. Then his head. Ice cubes from a concession stand soda.
He turned, saw a well-dressed gentleman giving him the stink eye and yelling.
"What?" Cauley asked, pulling a headphone away from his ear.
"Your clapping!" the gentleman yelled. "It's too loud! You're driving me crazy!"
Cauley didn't fire back with a "Don't you know I've been coming here for three decades?" or call for an usher or even so much as raise his voice. He shot the guy a glare and smirked and shook his head. As he tugged his headset back on, he just said one thing.
"Dude, it's a basketball game!"
