Milk supply problems
I hope you all had a great weekend.

Well, hope you get back on track soon so the Bois gets the nutrition he needs. Formula is stinky but I'm relieved you had some (unless you pumped). Glad your hike was fun.

"I'm not sure whether to blame myself or to believe he just needs more calories now." I think it both. At 4 months he is growing. Am I to guess you started him on small amounts of solids like apple puree and "skinny" cereal in a bottle? I am not sure how it's done in US, but I was doing it at 3 months. Heavy food for last feeding = sleeping better:)

Have you checked out any breastfeeding books? There's some with suggestions on how to help.
One thing it says is to make sure you are not giving formula too much to help supplement-- of course, if he needs food, he needs food... but let him try the breast first... the more he feeds and tries to feed, the more milk your body will produce (given adequate Calories, of course.) -- if you're supplementing too much with bottles, then you'll not increase your breastmilk to keep up with his rapid growth needs.
It has other suggestions, too -- might be worth grabbing.

Sorry that happened to you, SL. Breast feeding definitely has its share of frustrations, and I remember them all too well! :-)
Looks like you guys had fun in D.C.!

I had milk supply problems from day one and had too many lactation nazis giving me advice that made me guilty. One person told me that if I put my daughter to the breast every time she cried and was hungry that i would get my milk supply back up within a few days. She gained 2 ounces that week, never slept, cried all the time. I continued breast feeding but also supplementing and she gained 12 ounces in 8 days. She's still little (8lbs at her 2 month check-up) but she's happy. I would give anything to breast feed exclusively but my baby's health and happiness is more important to me than exclusively breast-feeding. Do what is best for the bois and your family. Only you can decide what that is.

If you have a pump, you might also try pumping in between feedings and see if that helps with your supply. Good luck!

Hey everyone, thanks so much for all of your thoughts and advice! I have been reading about how and when to start adding solid foods (not something you learn in medical school) and I usually see 4-6 months, so I was holding off until then. I agree, though, that formula is kind of "stinky", Lisa, and I'd rather start adding some "skinny" cereal (Olga) or pureed foods.
I really appreciate all of your advice. Oh, and I have been pumping in between feedings since the beginning (because I've been working). I actually pumped one breast and fed out of the other for his first week of life. That gave me a really abundant milk supply at first. Oh, and I put him to the tit all the time even when I know there's not much in there.
Thanks again!

I don't think you should "blame" yourself -- you're learning as you go!
Other ways to get iron include cooking in a cast-iron pot (or is that an old wives tale dunno?) and combining leafy greens with vitamin C. So, for example, I sautee spinach and diced tomato with olive oil and garlic and toss that in a lot of things and theoretically it's a good source of iron. I am mostly vegetarian (I eat fish and occassionally game) and don't have iron problems so it seems to work for me at least. It takes effort though to get enough iron IMHO.

Solids too early aren't a good idea- their little systems really can't absorb the nutrients properly, and can lead to other problems, though usually not. But mostly it just goes right through, breast milk is best right now. Just try and stay really well hydrated, nurse as often as possible, and just don't diet, it just is not a good idea right now. You are fit and healthy- focus on that, and your lovely family, not the bloody scale. :) When the Bois was in utero, mother nature did a fabulous job of taking what it needed for him first...now he is out in this big world, and it's not so simple, he needs you to put his nutrient and calorie needs first, always.

Shoot! I was going to post this to you a week or so ago...but better late than never I guess.
I got down < pre preg weight with my first DS very quickly. It was hard to keep the weight on and I was training for a 1/2 mary. I noticed a hit in my milk supply and energy levels when he was about the same age as the Bois. I had to start eating more and running less to maintain enough milk and energy. I'm not a calorie counter, but I'm pretty sure I was eating > 3000 calories a day to keep on enough weight.
I really, really take issue with the BFing taking 500-700 cals/day. The Bois is probably eating 35 - 40oz a day. There are 20 cal in each ounce of milk. So he is ingesting ~700-800 cals, but for sure it must take more cals for your body to manufacture it, KWIM? (My dad maintains it probably takes double the cals to manufacture). I think if you eat 500-700 cals extra, you'll gradually lose weight - which is what is supposed to happen assuming you put on a little fat reserve while PG. You didn't, so you have to be extra careful.
Hope that makes some sense. Also, as others have said, make sure you are feeding the Bois before supplementing so that your supply is being encouraged to increase. I started both my boys on food around 7 months - IMO the later you can start, the better. They are getting more good fats from the milk than they would from food.

I would be cautious about feeding solids in place of formula if you are worried about him not getting enough. Formula may have more of a smell to it in the diaper but it is nutritionally balanced. It isn't possible for him to eat enough cereal, veggies ect to provide a balanced diet yet. I had an issue with my youngest when trying to nurse him as well. My milk supply never seemed to kick in. It's as if my supply never got into sync with his demand and I had to switch to formula because he was becoming listless and dehydrated. It was weird because I hadn't had any issues when nursing the 3 children I had prior to him.

- Commenter Abbi said...
I stumbled on your blog looking up info on postpartum rashes.
I agree with Mommy Dearest- nutritionally, stick with formula for supplementing such a young baby. Solids are really for playing during the first year, not for any reliable nutritional purposes (at least until they can get to 3 square meals a day).
Good luck with your supply!

DiS brings you our regular new music fix, and three fresh musical DiScoveries.
The Northwestern
Following two albums, Hope Of The States were dropped by Sony and promptly split up, much to the dismay of their humble but dedicated followers. Post-HOTS, lead singer Herlihy formed the instrumental act Troubles with three other members of the band and released an eight track EP. This much we know. However, now Herilhy and drummer Simon Jones - alongside Francesco Menegat, Jonny Winter (formerly of The Open) and Ian McCullagh - are back again with The Northwestern, this time making the most upbeat and optimistic music of their lives. Where Hope Of The States wove dark and brooding soundscapes of dense proportions informed by classic literature and mortality, The Northwestern are an altogether more illuminated prospect. The hallmarks of old are still there, from Herlihy's deep and damaged vocals to the soaring brass instrumentation but now the songs feel as if they have been injected with a sense of freedom, a weight lifted from their shoulders. The band are scheduled to release a double A side, 'Telephones'/ 'All The Ones', on June 15th and will tour the country for the fortnight preceding that date. 'All The Ones' is our pick - a breezy melody set alongside urgent drums and classic jangly guitars; fans both past and present will fall for it instantly. Intrigued? Get a free track ('Fire') by signing up for the band's mailing list now via their Myspace page. David Renshaw

You don't have to be a brand new band to be DiScovered; managing an 11-year career without ever so much as being mentioned on the DiS boards (er, as best as an admittedly cursory search can determine) will do ya fine. Oskar's Nick Powell and Johnny Dawe started collaborating in 1998 when they scored performance art company The Max Factory's work Target, clearly deciding they liked each other enough to take on the name Oskar and write an album, 2004's Air Conditioning made in cahoots with cellist/vocalist Sarah Wilson. It feels a little lazy to pounce on their origins and waffle about their music being soundtrack-like, but, um, it is - you check out 'Psy' on their MySpace and tell me it doesn't sound like Michael Nyman giving post rock a shot. A typical song finds the cool, glacial canvas of Powell's quiescent piano layered in textures running the whole gamut of spine-tinging; - half heard mutters, bows of feedback, quiet, nagging distortion; second album LP2 adds a bit more breadth to their minor key core sound, notably the raucous deadpan of Wilson's Barry Adamson-style monologue on 'Some Song', while the eerie burbling of closer 'Sanatorio' is based around Powell's recordings of singing mental patients in a Spanish asylum. Which sounds kind of grim, but somehow it's actually nothing of the sort, the band's music hovering in that magic spot where melancholia blooms into sensual uplift. Andrzej Lukowski
LP2 is out June 22nd
Sad Day For Puppets
Swedish five piece Sad Day For Puppets are the latest in a long line of bands whose sound draws inspiration from the halcyon days of indie-pop circa 1986-1990. Having formed in the Swedish suburb of Blackeberg at the back end of 2006, their debut long player Unknown Colors first came to our attention late last year thanks to the endorsement of long-time fan and Television Personality Dan Treacy, and the band's subsequent signing to Sonic Cathedral shortly after. Debut single 'Marble Gods' was released over here at the beginning of 2009 to a rapturous fanfare of plaudits from numerous hacks, with their album set to be re-launched - complete with new artwork and extra - tracks next week (June 1st). Whilst comparisons have already been made with the likes of Lush, Dinosaur Jr and Swervedriver, Sad Day For Puppets are anything but mere copyists of an era that many wish would disappear into the ether once and for all. What's more, in the songwriting talents of Martin Kallholm and unique vocal stylings of Anna Eklund, SDFP look set to be the next discerning collective whose ideals purely revolve around such untoward facets as melody and song rather than the fashions of the day, and we love them all the more for it. Sad Day For Puppets are Anna Eklund (vocals), Martin Kallholm (guitars), Marcus Sandgren (guitar), Alex Svenson-Metes (bass), and Micael Back (drums). Dom Gourlay
The single 'Cherry Blossom' is out now, with album Unknown Colors released today, both via Sonic Cathedral.

American budget talks have come down to the wire. The largest stumbling block remains disagreement between Democrats and Republicans over the annual income threshold that will separate those who will see an extension in tax cuts and those who will not.
Congress has until Monday midnight to reach an agreement that will avoid tax increases and spending cuts.
"I was modestly optimistic yesterday, but we don't yet see an agreement," President Barack Obama told NBC's Meet the Press in an interview taped on Saturday, airing on Sunday. "And now the pressure's on Congress to produce."
"If Congress came out and said that everything is off the table, yeah, that would be a short-term shock to the market, but that's not likely," Richard Weiss, a Mountain View, California-based senior money manager at American Century Investments, told Reuters. "Things will be resolved, just maybe not on a good time table. All else being equal, we see any further decline as a buying opportunity."
To be sure, lawmakers and White House officials also were preparing for the prospect of no deal until after January 1, and having to seek one in the new Congress that convenes on January 3, according to Bloomberg News.
The budget talks have taken the limelight from another problem: US government borrowing is approaching the debt ceiling, the maximum amount it can borrow. Last week Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told Congress in a letter he was taking "extraordinary measures" to avoid a default, as the US was poised to reach the ceiling on December 31.
"I think there will be a tremendous fight between Democrats and Republicans about the debt ceiling," Jon Najarian, a co-founder of online brokerage TradeMonster.com, in Chicago, told Reuters. "I think that is the biggest risk to the downside in January for the market and the US economy."
In the past five days, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index each shed 1.9 percent, while the Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 2 percent.
On Tuesday, markets will be closed for the New Year's holiday. Many European markets are closed on Monday too. Among the key markets, the FTSE 100 and CAC 40 are open on December 31; the DAX is now closed for the calendar year.
Investors paid little attention to upbeat US data released on Friday, carrying on the positive trend seen in the fourth quarter. Pending home sales in the US advanced for a third straight month in November, while business activity as measured by the MNI Chicago Report climbed to the highest in four months.
"There is nothing here to suggest that the economy has enough momentum to withstand the shock if we go over the fiscal-cliff with no quick return," John Ryding, chief economist at RDQ Economics in New York, told Reuters. "The good news right now is it looks like we could have the mid-twos kind of GDP [growth] for the fourth quarter."
Economic indicators released in the coming days include the PMI and ISM manufacturing indexes, both due on Wednesday, and the monthly employment report on Friday.
Payrolls rose by 150,000 workers after a 146,000 gain in November, according to the median forecast of 54 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The unemployment rate may have held at 7.7 percent, the lowest since December 2008.
On Wednesday, minutes from the latest meeting of the Federal Reserve's policy-making committee will also be released.
In Europe, the benchmark Stoxx 600 Index shed 0.8 percent last week. While optimism is starting to return to the region, the cost of financially rescuing its weakest links - Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Greece - continues to impact the strongest economy, Germany.
German gross domestic product, which grew 4.2 percent in 2010 and 3 percent in 2011, is forecast to expand a mere 0.9 percent in 2012.
Dieter Hundt, leader of Germany's employer association, told Reuters that Germany will avoid recession in 2013. "I'm expecting that we won't experience recession in Germany next year and the economy will once again grow at similar levels as this year," Hundt said.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Cognitive Development, Ages 12 to 24 Months
The brain grows dramatically through the second year of life. Around 12 months, toddlers develop a new ability to remember experiences that occurred a few hours or even a day earlier. Toddlers often demonstrate this new ability by repeating a recalled experience, such as throwing a ball or stacking blocks, at a later time. Changes in the brain allow a toddler between 18 and 24 months of age to think in more complex ways, such as recalling events that occurred days earlier. The older toddler begins playing pretend. For example, he or she may give a teddy bear a "drink" from a cup or let the bear "talk" on the phone. These toddlers are also beginning to understand symbols (for example, that words can stand for objects).
Toddlers also begin to see connections between events. For example, when they open a music box, they know they will hear a song. Or when they throw a ball, they know it will bounce. They'll probably throw their dolls, food, and many other objects to see if they'll bounce too.
At 18 months, toddlers have developed a greater understanding of the world outside of home. Toddlers begin to develop a sense of self, the ability to see themselves as separate from others. They can now imagine a threat and often go through a period of clinging to parents and being fearful of strangers.

Yet another fantastic guest appearance on the show that everyone seems to want to be a part of -- Gwyneth Paltrow will take her singing and dancing for a rare television appearance on the Fox sensation.
The Oscar-winning actress will show off her chops as a substitute teacher who temporarily takes over the glee club for an ailing Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison).
Gwyneth being Gwyneth, she works her way into the students and Schuester's heart, according to Eonline.com.
This will of course cause complications with Morrison's onscreen relationship with Emma (played by Jayma Mays). Oh, the delicious drama.
While the second season kicks off Tuesday, Paltrow's performance will air over two weeks in November.
"Glee" creator Ryan Murphy wrote the part expressly for his friend Paltrow who has shown she has some pipes in the 2000 movie, "Duets." She'll also show some more that, this time with a country twang, as a veteran singer in "Country Strong," due out this winter.
The acquisition just shows the power of the hit show, which has attracted fellow Oscar-winners such as Javier Bardem, to pop-culture goddesses like Britney Spears in guest appearances which should be circled on the Must-Watch calendar.
Neil Patrick Harris's Emmy award-winning guest performances was one of the true highlights of the first season. It had singing, dancing, drama and a wickedly funny storyline that played even stronger than its power ballad ending.
As long as these appearances maintain their quality, and the show continues to burn at this steady heat, expect these great guest spots to continue for some time to come.

2013 Women?s Soccer Players of the Week ? No. 3
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Esther Anyanwu of Brenau (Ga.) has been named the NAIA National Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week and Felicia Reimann of Morningside (Iowa) has been selected as the National Defensive Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Anyanwu and Reimann were selected based on their performances from Sept. 16 – 22 and were chosen out of a pool of conference, independent and unaffiliated group award winners.
Anyanwu, a senior from Lagos, Nigeria, was responsible for five of the six goals scored by Brenau last week. The forward, who was also named NAIA Offensive Player of the Week during the 2012 season, recorded her second hat trick of the season, netting all three goals in the Tigers' 3-0 win against Spring Hill (Ala.) last Friday. Her other two goals came approximately 24 hours later against then-No. 17 Mobile (Ala.). Anyanwu opened the scoring in the 2nd minute with a 22-yard strike before burying the eventual game-winner in the 38th minute on a penalty kick. She currently ranks third in the NAIA in goals (11) and seventh in total points (24).
Reimann, a native of Rapid City, S.D., played a decisive role in the Mustangs' 1-0 overtime victory Sept. 20 at then-No. 23 Hastings (Neb.). The senior goalkeeper recorded a season-high 12 saves to preserve her third shutout of the season and hand the Broncos their first loss in Great Plains Athletic Conference regular-season action since 2009. Reimann owns a 1.06 goals against average and 47 saves through 767 minutes of action.

Humanist Symposium #10
I know I said earlier that this one was going to be "the dirty edition." But the problem was that (aside from that ex-Mormon serial novel which has taken a rather questionable turn lately) nobody sent me anything dirty. They just sent me a bunch of articles related to "Humanism." And some fantastic ones at that!!!
So I'll just be presenting these articles to you, and my original contribution as host is a Humanist side illustration "Helping Hands."
Humanist Theory:
As a Humanist, you have to find or make your own meaning and purpose, but we're up to it. Lynet presents some hauntingly poetic musings on tragedy while Greta Christina covers both life and death. On the spiritual side, David talks about what it means to be fully present. And Miller talks about the value and excitement of being an active participant in the trend towards atheism.
Paul has written a clear, concise explanation of universal moral grammar: how the moral framework we're born with isn't quite the same as absolute universal morality.
Then Dale wishes us a very Merry Christmas! while explaining that whatever Christmas's origins, the combination of public and private meanings attached to it have developed according to no one's conscious plan, and will continue to do so. Then to celebrate our place in the universe, the Ridger has written a song: "We Are Starstuff".
Humanist Practice:
One of the first steps towards helping other humans is education. Vjack states it clearly: "If we are serious about every child deserving the opportunity to succeed in college, then we need to get serious about making sure they are adequately prepared." Black Sun cautions against widespread homeschooling because of the many ways it can limit a child's educational experiences. PZ has persuaded his readers to lend a helping hand on science education (though he'll be scandalized that by including him here I'm hinting he may be a humanist ;^) ). And Holly Ord gives some amusing examples of educating the public through non-theistic billboards.
Joel McDonald has saved a few trees by suggesting electronic alternatives to procedures that required excessive document printing -- the sort of improvement that could be made in so many workplaces if people care enough to think before always hitting "print."
GrrlScientist reviews a book that explains the basics of cloning and how it can benefit humanity (while creating some interesting new questions for us to deal with.)
Theory and Practice:
How do our proverbs fare without God? Lubab No More still follows the golden rule. David discusses the serenity prayer noting that we shouldn't be too hasty about accepting the big problems of the world if we can change things at least a little.
Speaking of how to handle the world's big problems, James suggests that if the various religions can't live in peace, perhaps we should go with none, and Shaun Connel explains that violence should not be used to deal with non-violent people.
And I've posted about how our human values are starting to change in the right direction so that reducing wasteful consumption -- thinking of the future -- is seen as the highest virtue. This essay completes own overview of strategies to cooperate and build a sustainable future for our little species!
I hope you've enjoyed this Humanist Symposium!!! The next one will be held on November 25 at the Greenbelt!!

In a nutshell, the gTar is a $450 guitar with an iPhone for a brain. We reported earlier this week on how it has raised lots of money.
Many early supporters agree that this thing looks awesome, and it's not even the first instance of a learning guitar, or even one that runs on MIDI for that matter. But it's the first we've seen that puts it all together the right way, with the right look, and the right brain: a smartphone app on an iPhone.
Idan Beck, Incident founder and CEO, visited a recreation room in New York City with his girlfriend and his director of marketing Josh Stansfield to tell us about gTar; show us how it works; and of course let us play with it (pics or it didn't happen — see below).
During the course of all this, I found 10 reasons gTar deserves the money and attention being showered on it.
1. First, Check It Out
Here's the quick video we shot of Idan Beck playing around with his invention:
- 2. Good Origin Story
Beck grew up in Silicon Valley with old-school technologists for parents (more on them below). A longtime guitarist, he was producing electro-house music in college when he bought a thing to convert guitar to a MIDI signal, so you could use a guitar to control other sounds on a computer or sample bank.
"It cost a lot of money, actually," recalls Beck. "I spent two weeks eating pasta only, after I bought that. But it didn't work that well and I was really upset about that. I was in lab all the time working on my master's thesis, and I thought I could come up with a solution that involves something like the iPhone, which had come out that year. I thought multi-touch applied to the guitar could actually be pretty interesting."
- - 3. Enter the Monome
During this early period, Beck worked on the concept that would eventually become gTar part-time. His day job was at Microsoft, as an intern for under a year, then as a software development engineer. Then he came across the monome when it was first released, which would have been in April, 2006 (my blurb).
"I was really excited about the monome and what it could do for music, and being able to mash things up — I was also really into Ableton," said Beck. "A guitar kind of looks like a matrix, if you think about it — [I thought] 'I bet you can make a monome out of a guitar with this thing I was playing around with.' But the result of that was realizing, 'Wait a minute, this is an interactive guitar — it could actually show people how to do things, as well as open up avenues for guitarists and music in general."
He figured he had something worth pursuing. He quit Microsoft.
- - – 4. Crowd$ourced
Three years later, he and his small team launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise money to hone the final design. By then, the product was past the prototype phase and nearly into production. The crowd went wild.
This was a major Kickstarter success story earlier this week, as word spread through the company's involvement in the TechCrunch Disrupt NY conference, more and more people pledged to fund the project. The first donation happened on Monday, May 21. reached$153K by Tuesday. $206K when we met on Thursday. $224K on Friday. $238K on Saturday, with 624 backers.
"It's been nothing less than extraordinary," said Beck. "We are fighting a lot of battles — Silicon Valley, in the last few years, has not been very receptive to hardware. The fact that it's opening its doors now is just, to me, really exciting. I grew up in the valley where hardware, and people working on very hard problems, was, like, the norm. My dad was working on the first super-scale processor at National Semiconductor. My mom was working at Sun on some of the early beginnings of what we honestly use every day as the Internet. It's super cool to kind of be able to do that again, because that's what I dreamt about doing."
- - – – – 5. It Solves an Ancient Riddle
It's no simple matter to convert something as analog as a guitar into MIDI information, the way gTar does, and people have been trying to get it right for years. His solution involves conductive frets, for starters. It mashes that information against analysis of the vibrations of each string, each sampled individually a higher resolution than a CD.
"We have sensors through the neck," said Beck. "It's a multi-touch interface… we run the sensors in the neck at about 50 kHZ and our latency as far as tracking is sub-millisecond — it's actually much lower but we say that because nobody likes to talk about microseconds. Our sensor in the bridge is based on the vibration of the actual string; we're sampling each string at 50 kHz each, but we're using a mixed signal design, so a lot of the stuff is done with analog hardware before it's pushed to a dedicated processor just for that. We do some algorithmic stuff as well in the neck, to figure out hammer-ons and slides in a more intuitive way."
- - - – – – 6. I Played It, and It Really Works
The proof is in the pudding. The pudding tasted good.
Granted, I only spent a few minutes with the gTar, but I bought the concept. Part of the reason this works is the low latency, or the time elapsed between strumming the strings and hearing the sound come out of the iPhone's speaker, either in a guitar tone, a piano sound, or anything else. The unit I played came from Incident's factory in China, so it's "real." Units will also feature a regular 1/4-inch output for connecting to amplifiers and recording equipment.
Here I am picking my way through the Beatles' "Blackbird" with gTar.
Granted, many musicians are suspicious of something like this — in part because so many guitar-to-MIDI boxes are subpar, in part because others have tried to do something similar, and in part because dammit if they learned the hard way, so should everyone else.
"We're also fighting the battle on the music side, trying to battle people's skepticism, because this really does what it does," said Beck. "Obviously, people who have been playing guitar for years [wonder], 'Can it really accomplish this for me?' because it is a little bit different from playing a regular guitar. But I think it's a great thing to do, because I wake up in the morning and I know that we're really trying to change the world, especially with music, which has the power to bring people together."
I've played it, and I think it could really teach you guitar. No, it won't put guitar teachers out of business.
- - – – – 7. Even Music Teachers Would Use It.
We've seen plenty of products and apps promise to replace music teachers, and sometimes we even think it's possible. But now that we've seen this fully-integrated combination of high-quality hardware, solid engineering and design, and a smartphone app, we're convinced that it could make sense for guitar teachers to buy some of these units and rent them out to students as learning tools.
"If anything, this will make more people music teachers, because more people will be interested in playing music, because the barrier to entry is lower," is how Beck sees it. "This does not reduce the amazing quality of playing music and how difficult it is; that learning curve is just less steep — that's all this really accomplishes."
He said he's in talks with Little Kids Rock about putting the gTar in classrooms across the country.
- – - – – – 8. It Runs Other Apps
The gTar guitar outputs CoreMIDI at a low latency — we'd explain how, but this article is already too long as it is. But what that means is that it can output those MIDI signals to any object that understands it, including an iPhone or a computer.
"Not ever app out there that says it's MIDI-capable has worked, but any [app] that does work with Core MIDI should function [with gTar]," said Stansfield. "If you have any third-party synthesizer apps or music-making apps [on your iPhone], they can take MIDI input from the guitar through the phone and play that as a standalone application."
It also supports USB MIDI on its own, so you can plug it straight into a computer to trigger sounds and record information that way. In other words, this isn't just for noobs learning in their bedroom — it also has a place on stage.
For example, we witnessed gTar making sounds through the NLog Synthesizer:
Beck also demonstrated apps that let you play the guitar and add effects, using the iPhone's touch screen somewhat like a Kaoss pad. Nice.
- - - - – – – 9. It's Future-Proofed Against Android and the Next iPhone
The part of the guitar that holds the iPhone can be popped out and replaced with another fitting for another phone — by the user. This means that when the next iPhone comes out, you'd be able to get the new fitting so it will work with the gTar. It already works with Android via CoreMIDI and a USB output that can connect to supported Android phones. Incident is working on getting Android working with a native app, and the same gTar I played today could potentially fit an Android model with a new fitting.
- – - - - – – – 10. Next: Its Picks It Knows
Like all man-made objects (except the titanium spork) gTar could always improve. The next step, according to Beck, will be to add a pick that will integrate with the fretboard and bridge sensors for even more control, allowing advanced playing styles that wouldn't even work with a regular guitar, and more precise detection of notes.
"We're calling it the smart pick," said Beck. "It's a multi-conductive pick… the strings are based on vibrations, which means if I play with not enough of a threshold, it's not going to make a sound, just like with a real guitar. The smart pick solves that, so if the guitarist or non-guitarist wants to be really, really precise, or almost just touching it to the string like a stylus."
Incident's Kickstarter campaign ends in 30 days, around the end of June. Incident wants to ship gTar by August or September to people who contributed to the Kickstarter, after which it will be available to everyone else for $450.

so basically i am getting started with java.. I am doing work on eclipse, i am making a library project as a sample..
The library project includes the class of person and books..
here is my sample class of person:
package Library; public class person { private String name; private int maxBooks; public person(){ name = "unknown name"; maxBooks = 0; } public String getName(){ return name; } public int getMaxBooks() { return maxBooks; } public void setMaxBooks(int maxBooks) { this.maxBooks = maxBooks; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } }
I have done this, but now i need code by which a user will enter his maxBooks and Name, and also a code that will output name and maximum books of the person, it may be like this?
I have only taken two classes of java yet, sorry for this noob question.
Thanks for reading.

Taped to the file cabinet in my office is a cartoon by Randy Glasbergen. It shows a doctor, clipboard in hand, saying to his overweight patient, "What fits your busy schedule better, exercising one hour a day or being dead 24 hours a day?"
I don't think real doctors would ever say this to their overweight patients, but they should say something. The United States Preventive Services Task Force found that less than 20 percent of doctor's visits involve counseling on weight loss. Considering more than 60 percent of our population is overweight or obese, I'd say that 20 percent should be higher.
Unfortunately, doctors either don't have the time or are uncomfortable discussing weight issues with their patients. And that's a shame, considering that another recent survey in The Journal of Internal General Medicine shows that patients want advice from their doctors about their weight. Many of the patients in the study said that they thought their doctor had the knowledge to help them but the doctors didn't give enough concrete advice on how to lose weight. The patients wanted specific information on weight loss, short-term and long-term goals, plus referrals to resources that could help them with those goals.
And to what resources would doctors refer their patients? More than likely, those resources should include health clubs and personal trainers. However, I still don't think that the medical community has enough faith in the fitness industry in general to be comfortable recommending specific health clubs or personal trainers — even though I know some personal trainers and clubs have developed great relationships with the medical community in their area.
Could that all change if personal trainers were licensed, as has been proposed in many state legislatures in the past and is currently being proposed in several states this year? Would the medical community be more comfortable recommending that their patients go to a trainer if the physicians believed licenses conferred upon personal trainers a level of competency higher than that of the multitude of certifications out there?
Yes, the industry has tried to regulate itself — at least on the for-profit side — through the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association's (IHRSA) recommendation that its member clubs hire only personal trainers with certifications accredited by the National Commission of Certifying Agencies. I remember that when IHRSA first made the recommendation, I asked several club operators if they planned to comply with it. Most of them had not heard of the recommendation, and when informed about what it was, many of them said the recommendation wouldn't deter them from requiring the certifications they thought were best.
Perhaps the industry just hasn't had enough time to see if IHRSA's recommendation will improve the certifications out there and, therefore, improve the quality of personal trainers. Perhaps four-year degrees are necessary before the medical community will be more agreeable to recommending personal trainers. Or perhaps licensing is necessary.
If you want to weigh in on this subject, feel free to comment on this story online or to attend the Town Hall Meeting on personal trainer licensing, which will be held May 28 in Boston at the Club Industry East conference.

Here's a puppy carrying his own leash, and following his buddy the wheelchair very closely. We all need a puppy like this: one who exercises himself and can easily follow you around, picking up crumbs from all the delicious cake you're consuming. It'll probably help if he can also learn to flush your cigarette butts in the toilet, because by the time you reach 120-years-old, you're gonna be running on a pack a day, whiskey sours, and fully loaded baked potatoes until the very end. Your puppy can't wait.

Even though Tuesday was an exhausting day, I woke up really early Wed. morning. I knew we only had a short time left and I wanted to enjoy every moment. So I quietly got dressed, left the girls sleeping (Garry and Skye were in a different room) and headed to the lobby. I started to walk down the street to Starbucks but since they were serving it in the hotel restaurant, I just got a cup from there. I sat in the lobby, read my devotional, drank my coffee and soaked up as much of NYC as I could. The lobby was decorated so beautifully for Christmas. I snapped this with my phone.
We had an amazing trip, I only wish we could've stayed longer. Thank you Garry and Skye for making this happen. We love y'all and will always remember this trip!

Claude Monet (French, Paris 1840 - 1926 Giverny)
Garden of the Princess, Louvre (Le Jardin de l'Infante), 1867
Oil on canvas

R. T. Miller, Jr. Fund, 1948

This panoramic view of the Quai du Louvre and Left Bank portrays the city of Paris as both stately monument and bustling, modern metropolis. Painted shortly after the opening of the Paris World's Fair, the work is one of several important views of the city painted by Monet, Manet, and Renoir in 1867.1
In the spring of 1867 Monet was granted official permission to install himself and his easel in an east end balcony of the Louvre.2 The resulting paintings are Monet's earliest images of Paris: the Quai du Louvre (The Hague, Haags Gemeentemuseum);3 Oberlin's Jardin de l'Infante, painted from nearly the same viewpoint; and St. Germain-l'Auxerrois (Berlin, Staatliche Museen, Nationalgalerie).4 These works belong to a critical moment within Monet's formation of an idiom for painting modern life. Previously, Monet's most ambitious paintings--Déjeuner sur l'Herbe or Femmes au Jardin (both 1866; Paris, Musée d'Orsay)--had focused on the individual comportment and dress of middle-class men and women taking their leisure in intimate, outdoor settings. The Paris views multiply and disperse these figures within a broad expanse of space and atmospheric phenomena, amidst a wide variety of incident, movement, and activity.5
In siting his three Paris paintings at the quai and place du Louvre, Monet could depict a central thoroughfare that had been recently enlarged, repaved, and refurbished,6 and at the same time, include clearly recognizable portraits of a set of historical Paris monuments. The title and foreground is given to the stately geometry of the Garden of the Princess, whose name evokes the once royal, then imperial, pedigree of the Louvre's inhabitants. Crowning the view is the cupola of the Pantheon, resting place of the great men of French history; flanking it to the left and right are the bell tower of St.-Etienne-du-Mont and the cupola of the Val du Grace. The façades, attics, and chimneys at the far left indicate the Place Dauphine on the Ile de la Cité; further back and extending to the right are the buildings along the Left Bank. The tall, dark foliage behind the younger chestnut trees along the quai both signal and obscure the pointe or terminus of the Cité, where the French flag is planted.
Wedged between the chestnut trees and the garden are the place and quai du Louvre, where dozens of figures in transit--riding, strolling, striding, or pausing--are briefly noted and dressed with a few blunt strokes of the brush. The contrast in execution between the buildings and the figures--the attention to detail, surface, and tonal gradation in much of the architecture, and the approximate, improvisational strokes of physiognomy and movement in the figures--suggests a complementary relationship between the city's historical continuities and the dynamic exchanges of contemporary life.7
While offering a convincing view of a familiar site, Monet's Paris paintings do not aim for topographical precision. The effects of format and composition are evident when one compares the Jardin de L'Infante with the straightforward though more diffuse organization of the Quai du Louvre at The Hague. The clear shapes of the Oberlin canvas are stacked vertically, from the quai to the sky; while this area is viewed straight on, the garden is viewed from above. The axial disposition of the Oberlin composition is the most complex of the three Paris views. The central, vertical axis created by the Pantheon competes with the elusive slope of the quai and (invisible) Seine; the garden expands beyond the frame of the picture at a sharp angle.8 Robert Herbert has discussed these elisions and oblique viewpoints as a careful orchestration of the casual, random appearance of things in the modern experience of the city. At the same time, the composition's various symmetries and regular patterns invoke the ordered, controlling aspects of the newly planned city.9
The Jardin de l'Infante also demonstrates the persistence--and the peculiarity--of realism in Monet's practice in the 1860s. While his later Impressionist paintings of the boulevards present a homogeneous field of painted marks, creating a strict unity of vision and sensation, the Jardin de l'Infante modulates its brushwork, address, and tonality to register differences in things: from the thicket of grey, white, and blue marks clouding the sky to the seamless expanse of the lawn; from the bright, neutral pavement to the daubed layers of foliage; and from one (briefly indicated) urban type, silhouette, or posture to another.
A. Kurlander
Born Oscar-Claude Monet in Paris on 10 November 1840, Monet moved with his family to Le Havre at the age of five. His early work as a a caricaturist (ca. 1856) drew the attention of the painter Eugene Boudin, who, along with J.B. Jongkind, first convinced Monet of his vocation as an open-air landscape painter. Monet met Jongkind in 1862 while studying in the atelier of academic painter Charles Gleyre (1806-1874). Monet produced his first significant works in 1864, which were exhibited in the Salon the following year.
Throughout the second half of the 1860s Monet worked closely with a group of young painters whom he had also met in Gleyre's atelier: Frédéric Bazille (1841-1870), Auguste Renoir, and Alfred Sisley. Drawing on a wide range of precedents in recent, naturalistic French painting--particularly the work of Courbet, Corot, and the Barbizon school of landscape --the young artists painted landscapes, still lifes, and figurative works, employing a frank, direct manner of paint application. Like the previous generation of open-air landscape painters, they occasionally worked in the Forest Fontainebleau, where Monet began the immensely ambitious Déjeuner sur l'herbe, a response to Manet's famous work of the same title of 1863. Monet would never complete this painting, which was to be a monumental (4 x 6 meters) merging of open-air techniques with a portrayal of modern types, gestures, and dress (two large fragments are in Paris, Musée d'Orsay, and a large, final sketch is in Moscow, Puschkin Museum). Monet's next major work, the Women in the Garden, was rejected from the Salon of 1867, the year of Monet's first paintings of Paris (see Main Text). The Paris works were quickly followed by another group of successful landscapes with figures, executed in the fashionable resorts of the Normandy coast.
In the 1870s Monet became a leading member of the Impressionist group. In 1883 he settled in Giverny, about fifty miles west of Paris, where he lived for the rest of his life. During the 1890s, after his second marriage and the purchase of the property at Giverny, he began to develop extensive flower and water gardens, which he first painted in the late 1890s with a series devoted to a Japanese bridge, and which became his chief subject for the rest of his life.

Technical Data
Both the surface and support of the painting are in good condition with minor cracks, losses, and abrasions scattered throughout. The paint application is varied, and ranges from moderate to thickly applied passages. The canvas was probably commercially prepared. A white or cream-colored ground is visible in a few areas in the lower part of the composition. The moderately fine weave of the canvas shows through.
The canvas was relined in 1975, replacing a glue adhesive with a wax adhesive to stabilize the surface and minimize cracking. Minor paint losses--scattered throughout the sky, and in the lower left and right--were filled, and small tears in the tree area at the left edge were mended. The natural resin varnish, which had left deposits in the interstices, was removed. The work was revarnished with acryloid B-72.

5. "In approaching the city," writes Joel Isaacson, "Monet attempted for the first time to cope with the panoramic aspect of modern society"; Joel Isaacson, "Monet's Views of Paris," Allen Memorial Art Museum Bulletin 24, no. 1 (Fall 1966), p. 13. The first serious study of Monet's 1867 views of Paris, Isaacson's essay was also the first to argue that all three works were painted in the spring of 1867, despite the fact that a date of 1866 appears on the Berlin canvas. Two documents published by Daniel Wildenstein have since secured this date for the three canvases. The first is the letter from Monet to Nieuwerkerke of 27 April 1867, cited in footnote two, and the second, a letter to Bazille from Monet on 20 May 1867, which states that he and Renoir were still working on their city views (Daniel Wildenstein, Claude Monet: Biographie et catalogue raisonné, vol. 1 [Lausanne and Paris, 1974], p. 423, letter 33). See also Gary Tinterow and Henri Loyrette, Origins of Impressionism (exh. cat., The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1994), p. 431.
6. There is a vast literature (primary and secondary) on the rebuilding of Paris under the direction of Baron Haussmann, Prefect of the Seine during the Second Empire. In English, the classic account is David H. Pinkney, Napoleon III and the Rebuilding of Paris (Princeton, 1972). For the relationship between the city's transformations and Impressionist painting, see T. J. Clark, The Painting of Modern Life: Paris in the Art of Manet and his Followers (New York, 1985), chapter one; and Robert Herbert, Impressionism: Art, Leisure, and Parisian Society (New Haven, 1988), chapter one. Herbert also offers the best recent account of the Jardin de l'Infante (ibid., pp. 7-12).
7. While this contrast in architectural and figural address is evident in all three canvases, the divergence is most evident in the Berlin painting, while the Oberlin canvas contains the most freely brushed, "impressionistic" figures. Joel Isaacson ("Monet's Views of Paris," Allen Memorial Art Museum Bulletin 24, no. 1 [Fall 1966], pp. 15ff.) views these degrees of divergence and sketchiness in the figures as evidence that the Oberlin work was painted last . For a discussion of the Jardin de l'Infante in terms of Monet's frequent contrast or juxtaposition of traditional and modern France in 1867, see Paul H. Tucker, Claude Monet: Life and Art (New Haven, 1995), p. 26.
8. For Arsone Alexandre, writing in 1921, the painting's success lay precisely in its oblique disposition: "A slightly oblique median line is, so to speak, the axis of the entire view. This line is the course of the river itself, more inferred than shown because the incidental details of the buildings continuously intervene. One feels it and one cannot see it...."; Arsone Alexandre, Claude Monet (Paris, 1921), p. 34; cited in Gary Tinterow and Henri Loyrette, Origins of Impressionism (exh. cat., The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1994), p. 431.
9. Herbert writes, "the observer locates the Seine by adjusting a series of clues, seemingly casual in their arrangement....In the foreground, the large green segment of the garden floats off the bottom and right edges. Thanks to its eccentric angles, we have a feeling of excitement and tentativeness in Monet's picture, appropriate to our height and to the expression of wonder that the new Paris induced in Monet, and now in us." He adds that "this is man-made or man-determined nature. More than that, it is the newly rebuilt, well-controlled nature of the Second Empire, symbolized by the busily colored flag amongst the foliage." Robert Herbert, Impressionism: Art, Leisure, and Parisian Society (New Haven, 1988), p. 12.

Me-Time With Neutrogena Rainbath Shower And Bath Gel…
Since moving to Philadelphia in July, I feel like I've been stuck in a constant state of motion. If I'm not working OT at work, I'm going to multiple doctors appointments, running around the city with my new roommate aka my sister, chasing my cat out the kitchen, off the table and out of my plants, or I'm going across town to spend time with my boyfriend. Either way, I'm doing something or going somewhere, so much so it seems like the only time I'm at a standstill is when I'm in the bathroom. That's why for me shower time is dedicated "Me-Time". A time when I don't have to worry about answering emails, phone calls or meows from my greedy spoiled cat…Cat Mom Life! Continue reading "Me-Time With Neutrogena Rainbath Shower And Bath Gel…"

Mental Health Monday: The Facts…You Are Not Alone
Good Morning Yinz Guys and Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty chill. Today for Mental Health Monday I want to hit you guys with a few facts when it comes to mental health and who suffers from it. One of the things that have helped me get through my day to day when it comes to dealing with my mental health is knowing that I'm not the only person who is going through these things. And so I thought I would share some stats that my therapist shared with me a few weekends ago about who is dealing with mental health, she originally gave it to me to help with explaining my mental health status and what they can do to help. So here are some facts…(stats were pulled directly from the National Alliance on Mental Illness aka NAMI website here.) Continue reading "Mental Health Monday: The Facts…You Are Not Alone"

Mental Health Monday: Over-Explaining
Mental Health Monday: Over-Explaining
***This is my first post for a new blog series I will be calling Mental Health Monday where I share my journey to healthier mental health. I hope you not only enjoy these post but take something as well.***
I have a horrible habit of over-explaining and trying to force people to understand what I'm trying to say. Especially when it comes to the men I've dated. So what is I trying to make sure there is no miscommunication or misunderstanding on how I feel, comes off as me being crazy. I'm not sure why or when exactly i started being like this, but recently it was brought to my attention and well I was taken aback at the thought of someone thinking I'm crazy. Now…don't get wrong I can be very passionate when it comes to my relationships, in the sense, I put my all into it. Which is probably why I find myself over explaining my thoughts and feelings, instead of maybe taking a step back and seeing if that's what he wants to hear at that moment. I'm sure this stems from my fear of breakup/being dropped like I have been so many times. So I feel like, if he knows exactly how much I care about him or how much something affects me…he'll then understand and this will all end well. I never take into consideration his feelings or his thoughts or his opinions and not because I think I'm right and he's wrong…but because I get so scared i just start vomiting at the mouth with my emotions.

Living My Best Life In 2018…
Good Morning Yinz Guys & Happy Tuesday, I wanted to get this post out yesterday, but I wasn't feeling well and forgot to schedule the post…so you're getting it today! Can you believe it, we made it through 2017, and here we are already into the 2nd week of the year. I don't know about yall, but I had some days I wasn't sure if I was going to make it to 2018. Between hitting a low time due to my depression and anxiety, a few trips to the ER and Trump and his ridiculousness(I mean we"re still not out of the woods with him yet)…2018 seemed like a faraway imaginary land. But I'm here…we're here…WE MADE IT! I may have entered this year, with fewer friends and few dollars short (thanks, car note, and school loans) but I'm so ready to take this year by storm.

Because I'm Sick…Shit!
***Warning, this was supposed to be an Instagram rant, but it turned out to be a lot longer then I expected and way too much to post on IG. Also, I was hella mad as well.***
So I'm currently laid up in bed…AGAIN due to my Rheumatoid Arthritis which has also blessed me with the recent diagnoses of Iritis AKA Uveitis back in October which caused me to miss multiple days of work. It's hard to explain to people how one day I can be feeling good, up walking around, looking hella fine and the next day be on what feels like the brink of death, with swollen, inflamed and super painful joints. And because just the day before you looked amazing it's hard for people to understand why you look and feel like death today. Continue reading "Because I'm Sick…Shit!"

For those who thought the User Account Control (UAC) feature introduced in Windows Vista was intended to set security boundaries, Microsoft has made a clarification: it isn't.
The message is attracting criticism from security experts, one of whom said it made features such as UAC seem like nothing more than a "joke".
The most direct communication about UAC to date came on Monday from Mark Russinovich, a Technical Fellow in Microsoft's Platform and Services Division, who joined the company when it bought Russinovich's Winternals Software. Russinovich is a noted developer of Windows utilities and is credited with being the first to discover the rootkit in Sony BMG's copy-protection software.
In a Microsoft TechNet blog post, Russinovich explained that Vista features such as UAC or Protected Mode Internet Explorer that are dependent on limited user privileges - which Microsoft calls Integrity Levels (ILs) - are designed to allow some IL breaches.
"Vista makes tradeoffs between security and convenience, and both UAC and Protected Mode IE have design choices that required paths to be opened in the IL wall for application compatibility and ease of use," he wrote.
Because the boundaries defined by UAC and Protected Mode IE are designed to be porous, they can't really be considered security barriers, he said. "Neither UAC elevations nor Protected Mode IE define new Windows security boundaries," Russinovich wrote. "Because elevations and ILs don't define a security boundary, potential avenues of attack, regardless of ease or scope, are not security bugs."
He said Microsoft had communicated this in the past, but that the point needed reiterating.
According to Russinovich, a security boundary is a barrier through which code and data can't pass without the authorisation of a security policy.
UAC and integrity levels were not intended to guarantee that processes with higher privileges are protected from compromise by lower-level privileges, but rather as a way of changing the way Windows software is developed, Russinovich said.
"If you aren't guaranteed that your elevated processes aren't susceptible to compromise by those running at a lower IL, why did Windows Vista go to the trouble of introducing elevations and ILs? To get us to a world where everyone runs as standard user by default and all software is written with that assumption," he wrote.
Microsoft's drive is to get users off of administrative accounts and onto those with limited privileges, even if the new arrangement isn't water-tight from a security point of view, Russinovich said.
"The elevation and Protected Mode IE sandboxes might have potential avenues of attack, but they're better than no sandbox at all," he wrote.
His comments followed a lengthy analysis of UAC and its shortcomings by hacker Joanna Rutkowska, who said she was surprised by Microsoft's dismissive attitude to bugs in UAC's implementation.
"Is this supposed be a joke?" she wrote. "We all remember all those Microsoft's statements about how serious Microsoft is about security in Vista and how all those new cool security features like UAC or Protected Mode IE will improve the world's security. And now we hear what? That this flagship security technology (UAC) is in fact… not a security technology!"
"If Microsoft doesn't change its attitude soon, then in a couple of months the security of Vista (from the typical malware's point of view) will be equal to the security of current XP systems (which means, not too impressive)," she wrote.
In her analysis, Rutkowska had two main criticisms of UAC: that it forces all installer programs to be run with administrative privileges, and that it allows certain IL breaches. She considered the first problem to be an understandable design decision, but said the second was simply a bug in UAC implementation.
Rutkowska was generally positive about UAC, however, calling it a great improvement over Windows XP's security model. She disagreed with the most common criticism of UAC, that its notifications are too intrusive, saying that after the first few days she only saw one or two notifications a day.

Delphi Automotive CEO Rodney O'Neal plans to tell a Senate panel today that General Motors Co. was responsible for approving a faulty ignition switch that has been linked to at least 13 deaths.
O'Neal, in testimony planned before a U.S. Senate panel, said the company made "the switch that GM approved and wanted."
"GM knowingly approved a final design that included less torque than the original target," O'Neal said in prepared written testimony he will present to members of the Senate subcommittee. "In our view, that approval established the final specification."
It's the first time an executive at Delphi, which was formerly owned by GM, has publicly commented on the faulty switches and a related recall crisis that has rocked GM for months.
So far, GM has attributed 13 deaths and 54 crashes to the specific defect, in which the ignition switch can slip from the "run" to the "accessory" position, causing the engine to stall, airbags to not deploy, and a loss of power brakes and power steering.
O'Neal said Delphi has four manufacturing lines operating to make replacement ignition switches under the GM recall. He said Delphi has shipped more than 1 million new switches and is on track to deliver more than 2 million by the end of August.
GM's top lawyer also spoke publicly for the first time at the hearing about the company's recall of 2.6 million vehicles for faulty ignition switches.
Mike Millikin, GM's general counsel, told the subcommittee that the automaker has reorganized its legal department in recent months and changed the way lawsuits involving deaths and injuries are handled. GM also has hired an outside law firm to review its litigation practices, he said.
The Senate panel also heard from Kenneth Feinberg, the lawyer who is administering a compensation plan for crash victims on behalf of GM.
Feinberg testified first and was followed by a panel of Millikin, GM CEO Mary Barra, O'Neal and lawyer Anton Valukas.
Valukas, who joined Barra at a House of Representatives hearing in June, wrote a 325-page report detailing why GM failed to recall the vehicles with bad switches for more than a decade after engineers first learned of problems. Today's hearing is being conducted by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science & Transportation's consumer protection subcommittee.
Millikin is expected to face particularly pointed questions over how his department settled numerous legal claims linked to the switches beginning in 2006. At least five of the 15 employees that GM dismissed for their role in the situation were lawyers.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., chair of the subcommittee, opened the hearing by questioning how "on earth did general counsel Michael Milliken keep his job" in light of the Valukas report.
She described "tragic management failures" at the company and said GM workers have also been "the victims of outrageously incompetent management."
In prepared remarks submitted to the Senate committee, Millikin says he knew nothing about the defect until early February, about a week before the first recall. "Had I learned about it earlier, I would have taken action earlier," he says in the remarks.
The Valukas report says GM settled cases for as much as $5 million without informing Millikin, in accordance with GM's policies at the time. Millikin says that he has since ordered his staff to bring any settlements or trials involving a death or serious injury to him for review and that any open engineering issues related to the cases will be looked into.
Delphi made the switches at a plant in Mexico.
Documents released by the House committee and reviewed by Valukas for his report show that a now-fired GM engineer, Ray DeGiorgio, approved a switch design that he knew fell short of GM's specifications. A Delphi engineer notified DeGiorgio in 2002 of subpar test results and asked how to proceed, but DeGiorgio said to make no changes because he didn't want to risk delaying the launch of the 2003 Saturn Ion.
GM later used the same switch on the Chevrolet Cobalt. It says crashes linked to the switch resulted in at least 13 deaths and 54 injuries. A weak spring in the switch allowed the key to slip out of the "run" position, turning off the engine and disabling power steering, brake assist and airbags.
Feinberg, whom GM has authorized to determine victim payouts without its oversight, plans to accept claims from Aug. 1 through Dec. 31.
GM faces federal and state criminal investigations into the delayed recalls.
Congress and the Department of Transportation's inspector general are also examining the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's handling of the recalls to determine how the agency could have better tracked and identified the defective switches.
