My 7 week old was nursing well with a nipple sheild during weeks 2-3, then I discontinued use of the shield to avoid potential lowered production. She continues to nurse on the nipple, but for shorter periods and she constantly fusses at the breast. I have not reintroduced the shield. I believe she is fussiest when my breasts have less milk (later in the day). During her first morning feeding, I can feel that my breasts are hard and full, and when she eats I hear her rhythmic sucking and swallowing that seems easy-- she is content and she seems to fill up. As the feedings continue about every 2 to three hours through the day, she seems like she wants to give up. Perhaps she doesn't want to work for the milk remaining.
I understand that if baby is pooping and urinating frequently and gaining weight, that things should be fine (and she is doing all these things), but I can absolutely tell when I have milk and when I don't, and I know that I just don't have much the more she feeds during the day. I don't want her to be hungry or unhappy, so I have been giving her 2-4 ounces of formula each night to fill her up because she seems so fussy and unhappy during those late feedings. I am afraid to stop the formula completely, but I feel so guilty about it. I just don't know how to keep her interested in feedings as the day wears on, and how I can increase production.
I'm drinking tons of water, eating well, and responding to her by feeding her when she wants to eat. Why is my production low and what can I do!

It's been a long time since I've been here (my kids are 4 and almost 3 now!), and I hope this is okay (mods, I won't be offended if you want to move this somewhere else), but I've been following the story of a little girl named Anaya with Krabbe Leukodystrophy...she is dependent on breast milk for all its life-giving qualities as she battles this debilitating illness. I don't know which milk bank her mom usesbut I'm sure her momma would be happy to tell you if you contact them. This is her blog: http://healinganaya.blogspot.com and her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheAnayaInitiative
She has already lived far longer than the doctors told them she would, and I know that the graciously donated EBM has been a part of that miracle.

Interesting album, didn't bore me for a second. Many genres melded together (as is becoming the norm these days). Very spacey vibe going on here, without the monotony that Doom Metal possesses in my opinion. What I guess I'm trying to say is that you get a good mixture of atmospheric doom, progressive and extreme power, death metal. Never even heard of this band until the other day, but whoever these guys are got their shit together for real.

For a bright futureThe environmental impact of a truck is mainly generated from exhaust emissions. That is why we go all the way when it comes to research and development in cutting emissions and in staying at the forefront of environmental technology.
Efficient exhaust after-treatmentDiesel engines are highly energy-efficient. During the combustion process the temperature level is high and the cylinders are fed with a surplus of air to make sure that combustion is as complete as possible. Hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide levels are low compared with petrol ("Otto") engines.
On the other hand diesel engines produce more nitrogen oxides and particles than Otto engines do. By monitoring combustion, the balance between hydrocarbons/carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides is regulated.
Fuel qualityDiesel fuel has a higher energy value than petrol does, but it also contains higher levels of sulphur and aromatic hydrocarbons. Currently, low-sulphur fuel can be found in countries such as Sweden, Finland and the United Kingdom.
Cleaning TechniquesThere are several ways of reducing emissions. Filters or particle traps reduce the quantity of particles discharged, whereas the catalytic converter efficiently burns exhaust gases under controlled conditions. The Diesel Particle Filter kit can be retrofitted on trucks with Euro 2 and Euro 3 engines, allowing them to operate within eco-classified "green" zones. This kit effectively reduces substances that affect health - carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and soot particles in the exhaust gases. The closed-loop filter reduces health-impairing emissions by 80-95%, while keeping engine power intact.
There are also new engine technologies that meet the toughest legislation. Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) is today used in parallel with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) on some markets.

I went to an evening for parents at my daughter's school a couple of years ago. We were given about half a page to read to each other in the way that children read, a word at a time. It was cleverly constructed so that at the end of each sentence we had to go back to the beginning and re-read it, changing the pronunciation of one of the words. In each case our initial assumption had been incorrect - for example we had chosen lead weight rather than lead the race.
It made me realise how difficult English is as a foreign language - there is so much to be gleaned from context.

I'll try- we moved away from the area and it was part of a session for parents run by an area literacy adviser, so I don't have any contact with them now. I'll see what I can do.
By the way did you know that your name spell checks as "Twain" - very literary - was it intentional?

I also note that in the UK we say Edinburgh and thorough to rhyme with Scarborough (the ending is pronounced "ura") but the US pronunciation has the ending "urrow" to along the lines of Wheelbarrow, so it sounds like "Edinburrow" and "thurrow".

Tsuwm calls me Tutututu (attributes that to a stutter)

/ DamWatch
Loading Tree...
DamWatch® is a new dam monitoring tool that will soon be available for watershed project sponsors and the Natural Resources Conservation Service to monitor flood control dams.
Local watershed project sponsors have constructed 11,800 flood control dams across the Nation with NRCS assistance.
As these dams age and homes, businesses, and highways are constructed downstream, it becomes increasingly important to use all possible means to monitor and manage the dams to ensure they function as they were designed and that they remain safe.
To assist project sponsors in this monitoring effort NRCS has entered into an agreement with USEngineering Solutions Corporation (USES) to provide a web-based monitoring tool named DamWatch for NRCS-assisted project dams. This tool will provide real-time monitoring of potential threats to dam safety including rainfall events and seismic activity.
DamWatch alerts essential personnel via electronic medium such as email, text message, or pager when dams are experiencing a high rainfall or earthquake event. This allows for resources to be allocated at the right time and place.
DamWatch also provides a "one-stop" source for critical documents, databases, and geospatial information through an interactive Web interface. This will allow NRCS and watershed project sponsors to more efficiently manage and access important project dam information such as as-built plans, operation and maintenance agreements, emergency action plans, inspection reports, photos, videos, assessment reports, and more, on a DamWatch web site.
NRCS is currently loading information about dams into the DamWatch system. Project sponsors may be asked to assist in providing information such as operation and maintenance agreements, inspection reports, and emergency action plans. NRCS plans to activate DamWatch soon.
DamWatch can be an effective and important tool for project sponsors to utilize in managing their watershed projects. Watershed project sponsors can contact NRCS to learn more about DamWatch, how they can become involved in the project, and how they can utilize DamWatch to better monitor and manage their dams.
Although NRCS personnel may elect to receive alerts this does not change the roles and responsibilities of the sponsors or NRCS. The sponsor is still the responsible party for monitoring the dams, performing maintenance, and notifying authorities during an emergency situation. NRCS may be available to provide assistance upon request from the sponsor.

'Eyes' monitor traffic
MARIETTA – Drivers along I-77 north of Marietta have noticed what seem to be solar-powered cameras mounted on utility poles every couple of miles on the northbound and southbound sides of the highway.
"They may look like cameras, but they're not. They're actually speed sensors," said David Rose, public information officer with Ohio Department of Transportation District 10, which includes Marietta.
He said the sensors are part of ODOT's Intelligent Traffic System (ITS) that uses such high-tech devices on major roadways to provide ODOT and the traveling public with accurate, real-time traffic data through the state's Ohgo.com website.
"It's really just a radar speed sensor that feeds all the information to our Traffic Management Center in Columbus where the data is instantly fed to the OHGO.com site. And anyone can access that site through a laptop or desktop computer, tablet or other mobile device," Rose said.
The Ohgo site includes a state map that allows users to click on a particular roadway and determine potential traffic issues along that route. If traffic is traveling at 50 mph or more the map will show that roadway as green.
Traffic running between 26 and 49 mph will be indicated by a yellow roadway, and a red route indicates traffic moving at 25 mph or less.
"Someone who's commuting between Marietta and the Caldwell area, for example, can see if there are any traffic issues before they leave home," Rose said, adding that if traffic is traveling slow, perhaps due to a lane closure or accident, an icon will pop up on the map. Clicking on the icon will provide a brief explanation of what's causing the delay.
He said the sensors have been used in metro areas for some time, but the ones along I-77 in Southeast Ohio have only been placed in service within the last year.
"The ultimate goal is to increase the safety of motorists by providing information that can help them identify areas of traffic congestion ahead of time and make adjustments to travel around those areas," Rose said. "That helps improve travel time and cuts down on fuel consumption by idling vehicles stuck in traffic."
He said ODOT engineers also make use of the speed sensor data to gauge traffic flow at exit and entrance ramps along the major thoroughfares. The information allows them to identify areas where traffic may back up on a regular basis and make adjustments to traffic signals to promote better traffic flow.
Rose said ODOT does not own the speed sensors, but a monthly fee of $100 to $110 is paid for the data obtained from all of the sensors along I-77 within District 10.
ODOT press secretary Steve Faulkner said the Ohgo website is a recent addition to ODOT's online presence.
"We've had many compliments about the site from people who have found it very helpful as they travel through the state," he said. "They can check on road and traffic conditions before they even get into their cars. It's a real benefit."
Faulkner said the website also provides data on weather conditions collected from special weather stations ODOT has installed along the state's roadways.

Whilst AV wasn't great it was an improvement on FPTP. Small steps and all... they'd never have got anywhere in a referendum for full proportional representation with STV. So yes, getting the referendum, for me still counts as a success.
It wasn't Labour encouraging people to vote yes! Milliband was actually clever in the run up to the referendum. He supported AV (to appeal to Lib Dem voters I assume), yet ALL his party big beasts were in the no campaign. That always felt strategic to me.
That referendum defeat was their most spectacular and crushing failure. A disaster that has set back the cause of electoral reform for years. Their big chance to achieve a lasting change and they totally blew it by allowing themselves to be completely outmaneouvred by the Tories, alienating Labour and not being able to enthuse genuine supporters of PR either.

Escaped inmate identified; search continues
Minimum wage approaches likely rejection by Senate
WASHINGTON (AP) – The push by President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats to raise the federal minimum wage seems ready to join the parade of issues that gets buried in Congress but – the party hopes – propels voters to the polls this November.
Immigration. Renewing expired jobless benefits. Tighter curbs on guns. All of them Obama priorities. All of them attracting some Republican support. And all of them tripped up, at least for now, by GOP opposition.
And now, a bill by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, boosting today's $7.25 hourly minimum in three steps until it hits $10.10 as soon as 2016. His minimum wage bill is widely expected to join that list Wednesday, when the Senate seems poised to vote on it. Though it should win backing from nearly all of the 53 Democrats and two Democratic-leaning independents, few if any Republicans are expected to join them, leaving them shy of the needed 60 votes.
Democrats are aware of its likely fate. But they also know that according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, women and young people make up disproportionate portions of the 3.3 million people who earned $7.25 or less last year.
Both groups traditionally tilt toward Democrats, who would love to lure them to the polls this fall as they fight to retain Senate control.
"It's a powerful motivator for voters in the Democratic base who are a focal point of Democratic efforts to turn out voters in the midterm elections," Democratic pollster Geoffrey Garin said of the minimum wage push.
Senate Republicans have scant political incentive to support the
The GOP's business allies oppose the increase, saying it drive up employers' costs. Republican lawmakers have buttressed that argument with a February study by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which estimated the $10.10 increase would eliminate around 500,000 jobs – though it also concluded that earnings would rise for at least 16.5 million low-paid workers.
Republican voters also give GOP senators little reason to back the
An Associated Press-GfK Poll in January found that while the public supports a minimum wage increase by 55 percent to 21 percent, Republicans oppose it by 39 percent to 32 percent. For tea party voters – who GOP senators hope will vote in large numbers this November – the gap is 43 percent against an increase and 28 percent for it.
To counter Democratic arguments that they are clueless about today's harsh economic realities, Republicans say the priority should be finding ways to create jobs with steps like reducing taxes and regulations on companies.
"You can try to wave a magic wand and artificially" increase wages, said Republican pollster David Winston. Instead, he said, the GOP is reaching out to voters "who'd like to be earning more money and really think the economy needs to be turned around."
Both sides' constituencies oppose compromising on a lower figure, including the AFL-CIO, which backs an increase, and the National Federation of Independent Business, which opposes one. That makes a bipartisan deal even less likely, at least before the elections.
That means the battle will probably produce little more than fodder for campaign advertising. Both sides' lobbying reflects the low odds of a law being enacted, with scant advertising and few signs of all-out campaigns that typify major Washington battles.
"This is largely seen as a campaign action, and not an effort to legislate" minimum wage changes, said Scott DeFife, top lobbyist for the National Restaurant Association.
The pressure for congressional action is further reduced by the states – 21 have minimum wages above $7.25. Five have enacted increases so far in 2014, and 29 others are considering boosts. By law, workers covered by both the federal and a state's minimum wage are entitled to the higher amount.

Flip Wilson: What you saw wasn't all you got
Forty years ago, Flip Wilson was the biggest thing in television.
In its first two seasons on NBC, "The Flip Wilson Show" was the second-most watched program on TV. His comic characters spawned two of the medium's hottest catchphrases, "The devil made me do it" and "What you see is what you get!" (The latter lives on in its acronym, a computer application that allows you to see what a document you're working on will look like - WYSIWYG.) He jump-started the careers of the two biggest names in comedy, George Carlin and Richard Pryor. In January 1972, Time magazine had him on the cover, calling him "TV's First Black Superstar." »Read Full Article

Lecithin is one of nature's miracle foods. It's found naturally in foods like egg yolks and organ meats, which most people don't often eat. That's why taking lecithin is an inexpensive way to add its incredible powers to your supplement program.*
Fight memory loss
Has your memory started to fail you? An component in lecithin, called choline, may be just what you need. Your body uses choline to produce acetylcholine, a substance involved in learning, memory, muscle function, sleep, arousal, hormone secretion and circulation. It allows nerve cells to send impulses properly. Recent research has shown that two tablespoons of lecithin daily helps mild memory problems associated with aging.*
Heart health and more
Also abundant in lecithin is inositol, a B-vitamin-like substance. Your body uses inositol to help maintain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels already within the normal range, grow healthy hair and skin, and help break down body fat. By adding lecithin to your diet, you'll provide some of the raw materials your cardiovascular system needs to stay in top shape.*
Now available from soy or sunflower (soy free)
Our original Lecithin Granules are made from soybeans grown in the Midwestern United States and processed in American facilities. It is vegetarian safe (soybean source) and has no cholesterol.
Or, try our new Sunflower Lecithin Powder! It's soy-free and is derived from non-GMO sunflowers. It is abundant in naturally-occurring choline and other phosphatides.*
Who should take lecithin
• Those experiencing age-related memory impairment.*
• Dieters – to ensure an ample supply of substances that help break down body fat.*
• Those concerned about heart, vein and liver health.*
• We think almost everyone can benefit by taking lecithin since it contains B-vitamin-like substances that are required by every cell in your body.*
Delicious and easy to use
You'll enjoy lecithin's mild, nutty taste. This unflavored, unsweetened lecithin can be added to foods or liquids. Add 1-2 tablespoons to a protein shake or smoothie. Or sprinkle on foods like cottage cheese, yogurt, cereals or salads, or mix into salad dressings, oatmeal, or add to recipes like pancake mix and muffins.

Dear Members,

It's not about how good Naruto was. Jūgo and Naruto both have the Uzamaki disposition, which is ideal for absorbing natural energy. Individuals with weaker constitutions would have to supplement themselves in order to achieve the same level of Sage Mode.

Shark sage mode or Monkey sage mode would be awesome.

But seriously, Temari (or Itachi I guess) going Weasel Sage might be cool.

Last but not least, Kyuubi Sage (Obito). Logic goes: He summoned it, so he's Sage of it. GodDAMN that's OP. Also Statue of the Outer Path Sage Mode (Madara, Nagato)
My favorites are Tapir Monster Thing Sage Mode and Konan Sage Mode.

Barre's tough budget figures start with insurance
BARRE The City Council received a preview of coming attractions when City Manager Steve Mackenzie set the stage this week for his budget presentation scheduled for Tuesday.
He didnt provide much detail, but what he did give were some attention-getting projections and one guesstimate in the run-up to a budget discussion that could bleed into February.
According to Mackenzie, the budget he will present next week reflects a 26 percent spike in health insurance costs an increase of $125,000.
Mackenzie said the council can add another $125,000 to cover a 2.5 percent pay raise for city employees, and roughly $80,000 for an 8.4 percent increase in the citys premium to the Vermont League of Cities and Towns insurance fund. While theyre at it, he said, councilors can factor in at least a $100,000 increase for fixed costs pushing the projected budget increase over $425,000 right out of the gate.
In a city that will cost $10 million to run this year, that would amount to a 4 percent spending increase and is already flirting with the upper end of Mayor Thomas Lauzons comfort zone.
Lauzon acknowledged as much this week, noting that it will be a challenge to consider new initiatives like expanding the police force.
Im certainly not going to bring it up if its not brought up, he said of an idea that has been the subject of on-and-off discussion.
Mackenzie has estimated it would cost roughly $75,000 for each additional officer, and Lauzon said that barring a significant infusion of revenue, or cuts in other areas, he would have a hard time taking on the additional expense.
Its going to be quite a challenge to start adding new positions into this budget, he warned. If youre going to do that, there are going to be other choices that youre going to have to make.
The alternative, Lauzon said, would involve asking voters to approve a budget that he would have a hard time supporting.
A budget that tips the scale, in my opinion, at (a) 6 percent (increase) is simply not sustainable, he said.
Lauzons comments represent the opening salvo in a budget discussion that will begin for real next week when Mackenzie rolls out his spending plan.
Mackenzie is scheduled to meet Monday night and again Wednesday with a newly created eight-member citizens budget committee. Sandwiched between those sessions will be his Tuesday night presentation to the council.
The budget has to be finalized by Feb. 3 a Sunday. Mackenzie already has scheduled two Saturday council meetings one a week from today and another Jan. 26 and has penciled one in for Feb. 2 if deliberations go down to the wire.
Mackenzie said feedback from the committee will be important but that the councils input is crucial given the tight time frame.
With that in mind, Mackenzie rejected the suggestion he skip Tuesdays planned presentation in favor of briefing the council a week from today.
I want to make sure that the council has enough time to digest it, he said of the budget.

The council unanimously approved Skloss to his new position of leadership within the growing and changing city.
"That makes me feel good that the council voted unanimously to do that," reflected Skloss after the meeting. "Having their support is very important in a position like that. I was honored that they decided to do that."
Skloss has served on the city council since 2002 and has specifically served as mayor pro-tem since 2005.
"I will fulfill that (mayor) position until the expiration in May and it will be the end of this current term," explained Skloss of his new appointment. "It's exciting. It's coming at a time when there is a lot of potential for the City of Karnes City with all that's beginning to happen, and hopefully a much brighter future going down the road."
Skloss has not yet decided if he will run for mayor for the May 10 elections.
Also at the meeting, Councilman Jimmy D. Loya, Sr. was appointed as the new mayor pro-tem. Mary Kruciak was also appointed as councilwoman to replace the District 4 council seat position vacated by Skloss. Kruciak will fill the council seat until the May 10 elections. Kruciak had previously served on the City Council from 2004-2010.

Array to offer shares to raise cash for R&D
- published_in
- Today's News
Boulder-based Array (Nasdaq: ARRY) plans to offer 18 million shares at a price of $3.65 per share, according to documents filed with the SEC. The offering is expected to close on Thursday, Nov. 15. Underwriters also were given a 30-day option to purchase 2.7 million additional shares to cover any over-allotments.
On Nov. 7, the closing price of Arrayís stock was $4.21 per share, and the company had about 60 stockholders of record. Arrayís stock has traded in a range between $1.58 and $6.17 in the past year.
Company executives have said that Array has five drug products expected to reach the final stages of U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval by the end of 2013. FDA approval for biopharmaceutical drugs can take 10 years or more, according to industry experts.
Last week, Array reported revenue of $15.8 million for the third quarter, a decline from the $22.1 million in revenue reported for the same period a year ago. The company said a decline in revenue was expected, since it recorded a majority of a $28 million license payment from partner Genentech Inc. in its third quarter of 2011. Genentech, based in Vacaville, California, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Roche USA.
In addition to the Genentech partnership, Array has drug research partnerships with AstraZeneca plc (NYSE: AZN) based in London; Novartis International AG (NYSE: NVS) based in Basel, Switzerland; and InterMune Inc. (Nasdaq: ITMN)/Roche USA. InterMune is based in Brisbane, California.
Jefferies & Company, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are acting as joint book-running managers for the proposed stock offering, according to the SEC document. Piper Jaffray & Co., Stifel Nicolaus Weisel and William Blair are acting as co-managers.

Encana completes sale of Jonah Field properties
- published_in
- Today's News
The company valued the sale of the properties, to an affiliate of the private investment firm TPG Capital, at $1.8 billion. TPG has U.S. offices in San Francisco and Houston, among others.
Based in Calgary, Alberta, Encana is a major producer in Northern Colorado's Denver-Julesberg basin. Its decision to sell off the Jonah Field properties, announced in March, is part of an ongoing effort to balance its portfolio between natural gas and oil assets, Denver-based spokesman Doug Hock said Monday.
"The Jonah Field is a mature asset and one that we believed another operator could invest in and continue to make successful," Hock said.
Encana continues to own and operate properties in central Wyoming.

HOUSTON – At the beginning of the season there was talk from around the state that this was a rebuilding year for the Bobcats – that this team contained too many players without experience.
Well, with the Bobcats advancing to their second state title game in three years, consider the team rebuilt.
And always remember, Refugio Bobcat football experience begins in the womb.
With the 69-33 dismantling of Waskom, the Bobcats find themselves in the same game, in the same stadium, and facing the same opponent as two years ago. Déjà vu, anyone?
Before the Bobcats could face reliving a past-life experience, undefeated and Region 3 powerhouse Waskom stood in the way.
In the first period, Waskom struck fast and hard with two touchdowns to put the Wildcats up 14-0.
Travis Quintanilla rallied the Bobcats back on two touchdown passes: the first from 30 yards out to Devon LaFrance, and the second, a 6-yard toss to Tyler Castellano. Adolfo Cordero added the PATs and the game was 14-14 going into the second.
The Bobcat scoring mechanism went into high gear to start the second period.
Isaiah Perez rumbled in for a touchdown from 5 yards out. Quintanilla then zeroed in on Castellano on an 11-yard reception for a TD to give Refugio a 28-14 lead.
Waskom scored three minutes later to make it 28-21. It only took 56 seconds for the Bobcats to answer back on a 17-yard touchdown reception by Dana Franklin.
Perez took another 5-yard touchdown run late in the period, but the Wildcats also added another score before the halftime break.
At halftime, the Bobcats held on to a 42-27 lead.
The Bobcats handled the only two touchdowns in the third quarter.
First, a 49-yard touchdown pass from Quintanilla to LaFrance, effectively sealed yet another state record for Quintanilla with the most passing yardage in a single season.
With the third period winding down, JB Brown blasted through the Waskom defense on a 71-yard touchdown run to make the score 56-27.
Brown scored another rushing touchdown to begin the fourth quarter, this time from 31 yards out to make it 63-27.
Waskom scored again a few minutes later, but it was their last of the day.
Quintanilla placed the cherry on top of the day with a 17-yard touchdown reception to Tyler Castellano to finish off the game 69-33.
The Bobcats will once again square off against the Cisco Loboes at AT&T Stadium in Arlington for the 2013 2A Division II State Championship Thursday, Dec. 19. Kickoff of the state game is slated for 8 p.m. Refugio will be the home team.

3D has practically taken over video gaming. Lifelike, if not very pleasant, worlds exist aplenty--worlds that most users find easily navigable without any training whatsoever. Is the world of spreadsheets, word processors, and the like just unsuitable for 3D? Is it a case of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"? Or is it that we've lacked imagination? John Littler recently talked to Hideya Kawahara about an open source 3D desktop project that he started and that Sun subsequently took under its wing.
John Littler: Let's maybe get a little history on Project Looking Glass project. How long has it been going and what was the original mission statement?
Hideya Kawahara: It has been open sourced for about one and a half years. We are grateful for the keen and growing numbers of community members we have around the technology.
The very first public demo of the technology using a proof-of-concept version was shown in LinuxWorld San Francisco back in August 2003. Time [flies].
Since then, we have spent a bit less than one year to reimplement the technology into a better code base for open source development and do further exploration of the 3D opportunity. The development is done by Sun's Advanced Development Group.
From the beginning, our mission statement has always been the following: "explore bringing a richer user experience to the desktop and applications via 3D windowing and visualization capabilities together with the open source community." So, I feel very happy whenever I see a new 3D application developed by community members on top of Project Looking Glass.
JL: Did that process mostly involve cleaning up and commentary, or was it more to do with the arrangement of the tree and like things?
Hideya: It was more like a complete rewrite. The proof-of-concept version used a Java to OpenGL binding for 3D rendering. We switched the platform from it to Java 3D, since Java 3D provides scalability and higher-level abstraction of 3D features, which helps development.
JL: Did it start out as an open source project?
Hideya: Actually, it started as a personal project, with open sourcing in mind. I spent almost one year developing the initial proof-of-concept demo. The demo generated some excitements among Sun engineers, and it rippled up to the management. Then, they proposed to evolve the technology as a company project.
Since Sun was supportive for the idea of open-sourcing the technology and creating a small team with excellent engineers with profound knowledge in 3D and window system technologies, I was happy to accept the offer. This was the beginning of Project Looking Glass.
And, as promised, Sun supported us to open-source the technology.
JL: 3D desktops seem like a cool idea just 'cuz, but most people will want functionality. What do you think are the functional uses--both now and potentially?
Hideya: In general, 3D provides us more freedom of visual expression than 2D. So, if we carefully use the additional opportunities brought by the 3D-ness in a meaningful way, I believe it has great potential. So, the issue really is to find out things that make sense.
In the project, we found some of the ideas that were received well by the users, like parking a window with angles in a 3D space, flipping a window to add notes or configure the window, a bookshelf view of all the windows, and panning and zooming out of a horizontally long virtual desktop space.
And we even started seeing similar 3D effects in major desktops, like flipping a widget in Apple Mac OS X's Dashboard, and a bookshelf-like view of windows when switching the window focus in Microsoft Windows Vista.
I think we've just begun to find out the usefulness of 3D UI features, and there are more undiscovered opportunities there.
JL: People have had trouble with this in the past, haven't they? We had VRML for the Web, for example, but it died partly because users needed powerful machines to cope with anything halfway decent, and the implementation wasn't too good either. I remember there were all sorts of problems with scaling pixmaps and the like, and the code was horrible and meant to be machine written. Did the Looking Glass project look at VRML for any ideas?
Hideya: We have many things we can learn from past approaches, including VRML, but we are doing it very carefully.
Most of research around VRML is virtual reality centric, not surprisingly. And I know many desktop environments proposed based on virtual reality. However, I didn't think it is a right approach as a first step toward a 3D desktop.
We think a desktop is a desktop, regardless of 2D or 3D. We avoided to bring the desktop into the 3D virtual reality world that could just confuse the user. Rather, we tried to bring useful 3D effects into the desktop space piece by piece. I think this focus is one of the reasons for the positive feedback we have received about our project.
On the other hand, as a 3D platform, Project Looking Glass is capable enough for us to create a desktop that provides a fully immersive virtual reality experience. This extensibility is one of strengths of this platform. So, in the future, we might choose to explore this direction too. But not right now.
JL: So there could be a "mod" community in time to come. That could be fun.
Hideya: Yes, definitely. This is one of the great things of being an open source project. I'm looking forward to seeing such communities around this technology.
JL: Performance probably isn't such an issue now that very powerful machines are in general circulation. I was impressed with the speed of the Looking Glass demos I've seen, especially when they have a Java heritage. Looking Glass can't possibly be running on top of an ordinary Java VM ... can it?! What sort of performance tweaks have you made?
Hideya: This is one of questions I'm often asked. Unfortunately the answer is a bit boring--we haven't done anything special. It is running on an ordinary Java VM that you can download from Sun. There are many people who think execution of a Java program is very slow, but it is not the case anymore. Thanks to the intensive exercise on the server side these days, Java VM has evolved a lot. Project Looking Glass is just leveraging that fact.

JL: I understand that one thing you've done is to compile it so that it runs at least partially on the video card. Could you tell us about that?
Hideya: Actually, we don't perform any tricks like a special compilation in Project Looking Glass. The project uses Java 3D underneath for its rendering. Java 3D is a sophisticated 3D rendering engine designed to leverage the underlying 3D graphics capabilities. We are happy to see that Java 3D is doing a great job.
JL: Right. So does Java 3D do any card sensing or anything like that?
Hideya: Java 3D is implemented on top of OpenGL. As you know, most of today's graphics cards support accelerated 3D rendering via OpenGL. So, Java 3D simply benefits from the fact. In addition, Java 3D itself performs optimizations for rendering operations.
JL: Could you take us through some of the Looking Glass apps and tell us what they're about?
Hideya: The Project Looking Glass desktop itself can be considered as an application. One of the focuses here is to add value to the desktop environment and existing 2D applications by employing the additional Z dimension and 3D animation effects.
For example, now because a window is actually a 3D object, we can position it in the 3D space as we like. How can we leverage this to improve the desktop's usability? One of our attempts is to allow the user to slant it and park a window on a side. This is useful when the user is not really using the window but wants to keep an eye on it. This feature helps the user to utilize the limited screen real estate.

We can also slant all the windows at one time so that the user can see all of the opened windows. We call it a bookshelf view.
By the way, have you ever seen the back side of a window? Since a window is now a 3D object, we can utilize its back side. We have implemented a prototype mechanism to put a sticky note on the back side of an application window. Also we are prototyping application configuration using the back side.

Figure 3. The back side of a terminal window--click for full-size image
When you used up the current window, wouldn't it be nice to pan your desktop view toward left or right? We implemented such a feature too. This is similar to the virtual desktop switching, but by associating the virtual desktop with the panoramic background and using the panning motion, I think it can give better visual cues to the user. The panoramic desktop also supports the overview mode.
Figure 4. A panoramic view of multiple desktops--click for full-size image
Transparency effect is not a very 3D feature, but it can be achieved easily by leveraging a 3D graphics card. Imagine when we open up lots of windows; wouldn't it be nice if we could easily check how a window looks even if it is obscured by other windows? This desktop allows the user to do so by moving the mouse cursor onto the window thumbnail. The windows other than the one the user chose by selecting thumbnail become very close to transparent. This allows the user to see the selected window through the other windows. The user can move the mouse across the thumbnails next by next. This helps the user to find out the window of interest quickly.
Figure 5. Multiple transparent windows--click for full-size image
These are some of the examples that show what we are trying to achieve--improve the usability by leveraging the 3D graphics card.
Also, there are 3D applications created by the community members. All of them are still experimental, but here, let's check out a few of them.
The first one is an image viewer named Zoetrope.
Figure 6. The Zoetrope image viewer--click for full-size image
On the left side, it has thumbnails of images arranged in 3D space. It looks like a Ferris wheel. The mouse wheel motion is linked with this thumbnail wheel. This makes user navigation very convenient.
The second example is the background manager. This application allows the user to switch the desktop background.
Figure 7. The background manager--click for full-size image
As you can see, we have close to 50 background images. The background manager positions the thumbnails in the 3D space. It tries not to use up too much space but still provide good clues about each background to the user.
[Figure 8 shows] a file manager that [uses] the Z depth.
Figure 8. A file manager using Z-depth--click for full-size image
As the user opens subdirectories, the file manager grows toward the right. When it hits the right side of the screen, it starts slanting the least-used directory views, instead of dismissing them. The slanted view still gives a good visual cue to the user about the contents of the directory.
The last one [is] a challenging one. When we think about a scheduler application, we usually think about a calendar motif. Instead, the developers of this application wondered how they can make the scheduling process completely different and more fun. They then decided to use the solar system as the motif.
Figure 9. A solar system scheduling scheme--click for full-size image
Each orbit represents a kind of schedule, and a planet represents a schedule item. The more important the item is, the larger the planet becomes. It demonstrates an out-of-box thinking toward 3D applications.
Again, all of them are still under development, but I'm very happy to see that Project Looking Glass is serving as a platform of their exploration toward 3D applications.
JL: What sort of general problems have you had as the project has gone along?
Hideya: Initially we got lots of negative feedback like "3D would never work for desktop UI" or "it is just full of eye candies." I think it took more than one year until we start hearing opinions like "this project is not just an eye candy, but may have something real".
Also, the area we've been exploring was quite new. There were lots of trial-and-error situations, including the API design and the internal architecture. We find more issues as we go.
Although we have lots of keen supporters around the technology, development of this kind of system software requires a huge effort. We have a very long way to go. We are always looking for someone who shares the vision and is willing to contribute.
JL: What do you have coming up, and what further possibilities do you see for the functionality of the thing?
Hideya: One idea we've been discussing recently is Project Looking Glass as a 3D UI toolkit, in addition to being as a desktop system.
Many of community members suggested that the 3D API project significantly simplified writing 3D applications that involve user interaction. Some say that they could write a 3D application without a major trouble even without 3D knowledge. We project owners thought this is a great suggestion, and one of us has started working on this aspect.
In this scenario, the toolkit can be considered as a utility library on top of Java 3D. One significance is that such Java applications written using this 3D toolkit, together with Java 3D, will run on top of most of the desktop environments, Linux and Windows, without running Project Looking Glass desktop. We think this help broaden our audience and gain more interest from the community.
JL: Will this be able to link to native C or C++ apps? I'm just wondering about applications that need real-time performance--such as audio apps and the like.
Hideya: A typical way to deal with such a situation is to use a Java wrapper over native libraries. This can be done by using Java Native Interface (JNI). As for audio and video, Java has Java Media Framework (JMF) that provides Java API to control media resources.

There seems to be a restaurant centered around conceivable theme: airplanes, zombies, silence.
Now there's a restaurant themed after a room most people end up in after meals, not during.
The new Magic Restroom Cafe in L.A. claims to be America's first toilet-themed eatery, according to Eater.com. The idea came from the Modern Toilet, which is a popular food chain in Asia, but no such restaurant has been opened in the U.S. until now.
As the name suggests, all dishes and decor are centered around the bathroom...and what goes on in the bathroom.
Customers can sit on stools topped with toilet seats and order menu items like "golden poop rice" and other similarly named dishes, all served in miniature toilet bowls.

A homeless man desperate for free health care services robbed a bank of one dollar with the intention of getting arrested and going to jail.
According to CBS Seattle, Timothy Dean Alsip of Portland, Ore. walked into a Bank of America branch outside Portland, Ore, and handed a note to the teller saying, 'This is a hold up. Give me a dollar.' Rather than flee with the dollar, Alsip reportedly took a seat in the lobby and quietly waited for police to arrest him.
Alsip was charged with second-degree robbery and third-degree theft, but the robbery charge was dismissed. Alsip remains in jail, having failed to pay a $40,000 bail on the theft charge. According to The Oregonian, Alsip, a 50-year-old man with no previous criminal record, told officers he had robbed the bank in order to receive medical care in jail.

Financial terms of the contract were not released but multiple media reports placed the total value at $30 million.
"We kind of hashed it out a couple different ways," MacDonald told NHL.com. "Ended up finishing on six (years), and I felt like a good, long-term commitment was great for me and they agreed with it. Obviously it's a big commitment for them, a big commitment for me. It's a good deal."
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound MacDonald was acquired by the Flyers from the New York Islanders on March 4 in exchange for forward Matt Mangene, a third-round pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, and a second-round pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.
MacDonald, 27, appeared in 19 games for the Flyers, recording four assists, while averaging 22:00 in ice time per game. MacDonald led the NHL this season with 242 blocked shots, which was 41 more than his closest competition. In 82 total games with the Flyers and Islanders this season, MacDonald recorded four goals and 24 assists for 28 points.
A native of Judique, Nova Scotia, MacDonald was drafted by the Islanders in the sixth round (160th overall) of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.
The Flyers will take on the New York Rangers in the first round of the 2014 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs starting Thursday.
"You try not to think about it (the contract) too much," MacDonald said. "With the playoffs coming up and everything, it's nice to get it out of the way and concentrate on making a run."

Shumlin: Little impact from federal health extension
MONTPELIER President Barack Obamas decision Thursday to allow the extension of existing health insurance policies for a year is unlikely to have much impact on Vermonters, said Gov. Peter Shumlin.
The state had already decided to allow individuals and small businesses to extend their current health insurance plans through March 31 to ensure people have coverage while problems are worked out with the Vermont Health Connect website.
Shumlin spoke Thursday with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont President Don George and MVP Health Care Vice President Bill Little.
We remain confident in that time-frame and believe it will provide Vermonters the security and options they need as we continue to improve Vermont Health Connect and implement the federally mandated reforms, the three said in a joint statement issued by the governors office.
Of course, as the White House provides more information on the federal changes announced today by the president, we will continue to work together, and with lawmakers and our congressional delegation, to understand any further implications for Vermont, they said. But at this time, we remain confident that the course we are on is the right one.
The comments came hours after the president said his administration no longer would require insurance companies to jettison current individual and small group plans that fall short of the minimum coverage standards of the Affordable Care Act.
As of Thursday, 3,746 people had chosen a health insurance plan through the Vermont Health Connect website, up 345 from the previous day. It was the third consecutive day the state offered sign-up updates, with each day showing significant progress in the number of people successfully signed up for health insurance through the website.
Meanwhile, Financial Regulation Commissioner Susan Donegan said her department has received reports of Vermonters being targeted by phone scammers claiming to be selling health insurance in order to obtain personal information.
The scams ... have involved tricking consumers into revealing Social Security numbers, credit card numbers or other personal information under the guise of enrolling them in a health insurance plan on Vermont Health Connect, Donegan said.
She reminded people to watch out for con artists who might try to impersonate people trained to help people sign up for health insurance.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

Robert Louis Stevenson, the renowned novelist and travel writer famous for books such as "Treasure Island" and "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," once said, "There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign."
If you have ever traveled to an exotic land with a language you do not speak, you know just how foreign and alien the language barrier can make you feel.
Unfortunately, not understanding the local language can also steal from you one of the greatest joys of traveling: meeting new people and making friends from different cultures and backgrounds. So what can you do if you enjoy visiting exotic destinations, want a taste of the local culture, but don't have the time to learn the language of every country you visit on a two-week vacation?
Simple. Find exotic destinations where the locals already speak English. Pure genius. Check out our list of five exotic destinations where, surprisingly, language will not be of a problem.
First up: Dónde se habla Inglés en América Central?
Welcome to Belize, the only English-speaking country in Central America.
The country is home to stewed chicken with rice and beans, the red-footed booby bird, endless white sand beaches and the largest coral reef in the Western hemisphere. All of which makes it a natural destination for nature lovers, beach bums, snorkelers and scuba divers.
Culture enthusiasts will enjoy Belize's 900-plus Mayan archaeological sites. If you visit only one Mayan ruin, make it the Mayan Pyramids of El Caracol. The view from the top of its 140-foot pyramid over an endless sea of emerald-green high-canopy jungle is something you will not forget in a hurry.
However, maybe Belize is just not exotic enough for you. How about the farthest East country you can visit before you run into yesterday?
Are you ready to time travel?
Kiribati is the easternmost country in the world. Travel east from Kiribati and you will cross the International Date Line and run into yesterday. The official languages of Kiribati are English and Gilbertese.
This isolated nation was untouched by foreign influences until the 18th century, when American and British ships first landed on its shores. Since then, Kiribati has established itself as a world-class destination for travelers looking for classic Pacific beaches, a tranquil and serene way of life, game fishing, surfing and World War II relics.
However, if you are planning to visit Kiribati, don't waste time. Tragically, Kiribati is set to be the first country to disappear due to rising water levels caused by global warming.
Our next destination takes us to one of the cradles of civilization where, happily for us, English is widely used.
Have you got a safari hat handy?
The official motto of Kenya is Harambee, which in English means "all pull together."
It is a fitting motto for a country consisting of more than 70 tribes that speak more than 30 languages and countless dialects. Fortunately for you, English is the official language along with Swahili, both of which are used as a trade language between the melting pot of cultures that make up Kenya.
So, forget your phrase books and translation phone apps. Climb Mount Kenya, go on a safari, trek along the Rift Valley, visit a genuine Masai village or relax at one of Kenya's popular beach resorts without worrying (too much) about the language barrier.
Our next stop takes us to South America. We know what you're thinking: an English-speaking country in South America?

CNJ staff
RICHARDSON, Texas — Four members of the Eastern New Mexico University football squad were accorded first-team All-Lone Star Conference South Division honors in voting done by the division's head coaches and released on Wednesday by the conference office.
Greyhounds chosen on offense were senior wide receiver Derrick Hunter and sophomore fullback Patrick Hemphill, while named to the first team on defense were senior cornerback Corey White and junior outside linebacker Tim Ojeda. They were among 12 Hounds honored in the selections.
Hunter earned All-South honors for a second consecutive year. He led ENMU in receiving in each of his four years, setting school career records during the 2005 campaign for catches (128), yards (2,456) and touchdown catches (21).
This year, he caught 18 passes for 364 yards and five touchdowns, while also returning six punts for 87 yards and six kickoffs for 108 yards. Hunter had personal highs in 2004 with 51 receptions for 829 yards and eight touchdowns.
Hemphill rushed for 342 yards on 75 carries and scored four touchdowns, helping the Hounds set a school record with 3,333 rushing yards. ENMU's 303-yard-per-game rushing average ranked fourth in 2005 in NCAA Division II.
White was also a repeat All-LSC performer. He had 27 tackles (20 solos) and also contributed four pass breakups, two blocked kicks and a fumble recovery.
In four seasons, White had 83 tackles (69 solos) and five interceptions, four of which came in 2004. This fall, he returned 11 kickoffs for 192 yards and two punts for 36.
Ojeda, a junior college transfer his year from Mt. San Jacinto (Calif.), ranked third on the team with 59 tackles (25 solos) while leading the team with 9 1/2 tackles for loss and five quarterback sacks.
In addition, he had an interception, a fumble recovery, two quarterback hurries and two pass breakups. One of the deflections was intercepted by a teammate, setting up a touchdown in the Hounds' 33-30 win at Abilene Chrsitian on Sept. 24.
Eastern put two linemen on the second-team offense in senior center Devin Pilgrim and senior guard Robert Acuna, and six players on the honorable mention list — sophomore quarterback Michael Benton, senior running back Jason Tezeno, senior offensive tackle T.J. Cobb, freshman defensive lineman Kyle Wilson, sophomore defensive back Brandon Harper and junior punter Lee Price.
Tarleton State led the division with eight first-team selections — four on offense and four on defense — and the Texans also took three of the eight individual awards with Sam Skidmore earning offensive lineman of the year, Derrick Ross offensive back of the year and Renardrick Phillips defensive back of the year.
Ironically, the two teams representing the league in the Division II playoffs — overall and South champion West Texas A&M and South runnerup Angelo State — had only three and two first-team picks, respectively. WT's Don Carthel was chosen the South's coach of the year.
In the North Division, two-time defending champion Southeastern Oklahoma led the way with eight first-team selections and three individual award winners.
