I'm almost home!! I'll be arriving back home in the States this weekend. I absolutely love being in India, but now that the trip is almost over, it's fun to think of all the great things about being at home as well. I'll have a few more pictures and stories about eating vegan in India to share once I'm home, but I had these few cool things I definitely wanted to get up before I leave.
As a vegan, one can only be so adventurous with the food when travelling. I LOVE eating crazy new things, but I love being a vegan even more. Unfortunately, passionate feelings about vegan eating do present a limit when it comes to eating exotic and unknown treats. Here in India, you have the not-insignificant consideration of gastrointestinal safety to think of as well. My travel doctor set forth the 4 P's of safe eating in India: Peelable, Packaged, Processed, or Piping Hot. So, you can rest assured that I am VERY much looking forward to eating some fresh fruit and massive amounts of salad upon my return.
However, occassionaly, one does have success in adventurous vegan eating, even here in India! For instance, I saw a fellow sitting on the curb selling these things: He had big long stalks with these attached to them - very similar to the way a stalk of brussel sprouts grows (but obviously much bigger). There were a couple guys standing around eating the innards, and I was intrigued. With a little sign language, I was able to communicate that I wanted to buy one, but without him cutting it open with his giant machete first. In its sealed state, it was looking downright Peelable.
We got it home, and I eagerly cut it open ( which was not trememdously difficult, but not easy either)... and found these 3 little "pockets" of fruit inside. Firm, clear and moist... a little like a lychee nut in texture.
I used a spoon to scoop out the innards. The yellowish skin was bitter, but the fruit itself was cool and moist and very light. I can see why it would make a refreshing road-side treat. The flavor was similar to young coconut milk, very mild. All in all, a fun experiment. Does anyone know what this is called? I was thinking maybe Emilie would know, since I know that she's eating in many tropical climes!
Also, one night when I made a veggie scramble for everyone, I picked up these cool greens at the market. They are called Methi, and I understand them to be fenugreek leaves. Since I was planning on cooking up a nice hot dinner, I could get these, cook 'em up, and then they would qualify as Piping Hot. See how careful I was!? :)
Also, I thought I'd share this little picture. It's not much, but it's a great little market near our house where we can get most of our staples: soda water, Limca soda pop, soy milk, muesli, cookies, fruit juice... and they even have a pay phone (which is very handy since we can't call out from our apartment). Quite a friendly little spot!
I'm looking forward to getting home and getting busy in the kitchen... and back in action on the food blog!

Updated 7/6/12: Woo hoo! The ban on this two-dad family has been lifted by the Carilion Clinic as of late yesterday. After the Change.org petition received over 150,000 signatures in 48 hours, late Thursday the Carilion Clinic's Facebook page revealed a revised membership policy which now "consists of a primary member and up to one additional household member that permanently lives in the household, and any of their dependent children under the age of 22 who also reside in the household on a permanent basis."
When Will Trinkle, a Virginia real estate agent and dad of two-year-old Oliver Trinkle-Granados, applied for membership at the Roanoke Athletic Club, a gym owned by the regional medical provider Carilion Clinic, he didn't get the welcome respite from the heat he'd been hoping for, reports WTVR.com. Although his family membership plan, which clearly listed his partner Juan Granados and their son, was initially processed, a representative from the gym later contacted Trinkle to say that the processing had been a mistake, and that because Virginia state law does not recognize same sex marriage, the company was complying with the law by not recognizing the Trinkle-Granados partnership as a family.
Is marriage the only way this company will recognize a family? Let's think about the more than eight million unmarried couples living together, documented by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2010. It's doubtful that heterosexual couples would have to show their marriage certificate to prove that they should be considered a family in the eyes of this company…
According to a petition to Carilion Clinic on Change.org (which already has over 40,000 signatures), a representative told Trinkle that the company was "'tightening policies' so no families like us would ever 'get as far' as we had."
Trinkle adds, "We were really surprised. It's like someone punched us in the stomach. We couldn't imagine this kind of discrimination." He is now suing the club and the clinic for breach of contract and violation of the Virginia Consumer Protection Act, reports the Associated Press.
The demands of the Change.org petition to Carilion Clinic are two-fold:
- Treat all families--married and unmarried, same sex and opposite sex--with true impartiality and respect and
- Extend the full benefits of family membership at the Roanoke Athletic Club to Trinkle's family and all other unmarried couples who live together.
Are you appalled that this kind of discrimination is still alive and well in 2012?

PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland (AP) – Jamie Donaldson shot a 3-under 69 Saturday to take a one-stroke lead into the final round of the Irish Open, while Rory McIlroy finished six shots back.
Donaldson moved to 12 under despite a mixed round that featured an eagle, four birdies and three bogeys. The Welshman is one shot ahead of England's Anthony Wall, with Padraig Harrington and Mark Foster another shot back at 10 under.
McIlroy improved 13 spots to tie for 11th with a 71, while France's Gregory Bourdy toppled from the leaderboard with an 80.
McIlroy started with two birdies in his first three holes, but bogeyed No. 5. He then ran off 13 straight pars.
"I've struggled on the greens all week,'' the Northern Irishman said.
McIlroy has missed the cut in four of his last five tournaments and lost his No. 1 ranking to Luke Donald. He used a new driver in hopes of changing his luck.
"I think it's going to make a big difference,'' McIlroy said of his new club. "It puts less spin on the ball, which is just great in the wind, and it goes 15 yards further.''
Bourdy went from a one-shot lead at the start of the round to eight behind with six bogeys, a double and a triple-bogey 8 to tumble out of contention.
Inspired by a first career hole-in-one on Thursday, Donaldson was on course to break his European Tour title drought after recovering from a bogey on his first to push just ahead of Wall.
"I've had a few chances, but at the end of the day I've not been good enough so far to stand on the last green holding the trophy,'' said the 36-year-old Donaldson.
Harrington shot a 72, but the 2007 champion was still in contention.
Graeme McDowell was eight behind and British Open champion Darren Clarke was nine off the pace two weeks ahead of his title defense at Royal Lytham and St. Annes.

For those of you who buy, online or in the round, from used book catalogs (I know, I know: you can't always wait until the end of July), here are a few more definitions of the terms you may find there. These are things you generally don't want your book to be:SUNNED: If your book has been sitting on a shelf where the sun hits it, the colors will eventually fade. This is especially noticeable with dustjackets on which the basic color is white, and the title and name of the author have disappeared as the seasons change. Um, no, raisin pot pie, smearing the book with sunscreen will make matters worse.
PRICE-CLIPPED: Often, when the book is given as a present, the giver will snip off the corner of the endflap where the price is printed, Many used book dealers did this as a matter of routine for years, knowing that if they charged $10 and the original price was $4.95, somebody was going to complain. Nowadays, people complain if that bit has been clipped off. You can't win.
BOOK CLUB BLIND STAMP: Some Book Club editions are almost identical to the original, but will have this tiny dot or square stamped into the lower right corner of the back cover. This means you do NOT have the $15,000 first printing.
BOOK OF THE MONTH CLUB SLUG: Before couch potatoes, this is what we called someone who was too lazy to go out and buy books, but just ordered them through the mail. No no no: scratch that. This is actually three lines of tiny print which appear on the front endflap of books printed by the Book of the Month-Club. This ALSO shows you don't have the $15,000 first printing. (This is also why some people swipe dustjackets from first editions…so they can replace the jackets with the nasty telltale marks. Can't fix that blindstamp on the back, though.)
MARRIED: This is a book which has been enhanced by adding a dustjacket from another copy. Perfectly legitimate if the bookseller has a nice copy of the book in a torn jacket and a rotten copy in a nice jacket. Not so legit if this is to replace the jacket with the BOMC slug.
BOMC: Book-of-the-Month Club, curried cupcake: pay attention.
HIGHLIGHTED: Somebody marked passages in yellow, green, or purple highlighting ink. That somebody is often the last owner of the book, since it goes into recycling when a bookseller sees this.
DINGED: Damaged
BUMPED: Damaged
SIGNATURES LOOSE: Damaged
HINGES STARTING: Damaged
GOOD READING COPY: Damaged
FILLER COPY: Damaged
FAIR CONDITION: Damaged
ELSE FINE: Damaged
SUNFADED, PRICE CLIPPED, HIGHLIGHTED, SIGNATURES LOOSE, SOME SLIGHT PURPLE CRAYON USE: Look, just put it in a banana box and drop it off at the Newberry

For the price of a blank CD-R, I could turn my home computer into a production quality, web/SQL/email/news/chat/proxy/younameit server. On the desktop side I could check email, surf the net, chat with geeks, word process, program anything under the sun, and do just about anything that could be done with a computer. I had it all.

Digital Environments vs. Physical Environments
When considering whether you should obtain permission to distribute a copyrighted work online, it can help to consider what would be required to distribute the same content physically in a classroom. For example, if you would need copyright clearance to distribute photocopies of a written work to students in your class, you would need permission to distribute the same file online. The same concept applies to images and audio/visual media, although as a rule, further restrictions apply to displaying content, especially audio/visual content, in online settings. For more information on these restrictions, please see the section describing the TEACH Act.
Before you use content of any kind in your course, be sure you know enough about the nature of the work and its copyright owner to make informed copyright decisions.
There are certain circumstances, described below, in which you may not need to permission to use someone else's work. If these circumstances do not apply to your use case, seek permission from the copyright owner before using the content.
Link to Licensed or Publicly Available Copies
A subscription to an article or another type of work may have already been paid for by the library, or it may be freely accessible to the public on a legitimate website. If so, you can link to the content from your course without having to worry about copyright liability. Note that linking is not the same as copying the content to your course. Creating a copy may have copyright implications. Whenever possible, you should link to a work rather than reproduce it.
Find Creative Commons Works
A growing number of works are produced with a Creative Commons license. This type of license allows the content producer to specify how his or her content can be used, reused, and repurposed. For example, a Creative Commons license on a video may allow for non-commercial use on the condition that attribution is made to the content creator. A good starting place for finding creative commons works is http://search.creativecommons.org/. Be sure to review the license on a given work to see what the unique restrictions are.
Tap Into the Public Domain
A work that is in the public domain can be used without copyright permission. By U.S. law, a work enters the public domain 70 years after the content author has died. Also, anything produced before 1923 is in the public domain. Other public domain works include those produced by the U.S. Government or its employees as part of their jobs.

Spokane loses shocker to Orlando 82-83
Sunday May 12, 2013
Spokane drops 21 point lead in second half to suffer third straight loss of the season.
SPOKANE, WA (May 11, 2013) – In front of a crowd of 8,730 The Spokane Shock (5-3) suffered their third defeat of the season at the hands of The Orlando Predators (2-5), falling by a single point at 82-83.
After beginning the last two games failing to score on their opening drive, the Shock made amends this week and drove down the field on a three play drive capped off by a 7-yard touchdown pass from Meyer to Brooks. On the ensuing kickoff, Orlando's Maurice Williams would go 56-yards for the score to tie the game 7-7. In an attempt to hold the momentum Orlando went for the onside kick which was juggled until Shock wide receiver Jeffery Solomon scooped up the ball and took it in for the touchdown giving the Shock a 13-7 lead. A fumbled snap exchange by Orlando, recovered by Terence Moore, would lead to a Shock 5 play drive ending with Meyer hooking up with Solomon for the 5-yard touchdown and the 20-7 lead. After a Predators touchdown drive, Spokane's Terence Sanders would take the kickoff 55-yards being stopped 1-yard short of the score. Arvell Nelson would come in under center to run the wildcat goal line offense and rush for the 1-yard touchdown giving the Shock the 27-13 lead to end the first quarter of play.
Keeping possession going into the second quarter the Predators finished off a 5 play drive on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Garcia to Geathers. Terrance Sanders would make sure to get into the end zone this time taking the kickoff 56-yards for the quick score giving Spokane the 34-20 lead. Garcia would respond on a 32-yard touchdown pass to Toliver on their next drive to make it a one possession game. Spokane would go 3 plays and score on a 14-yard touchdown pass from Meyer to Solomon for his third scoring reception of the night. The Shock defense would turn up the pressure with Terrance Taylor forcing Garcia to fumble and Taylor falling on the ball in the end zone to give the Shock a 48-27 lead. It would take Orlando only one play to score when Garcia would find Rodriguez for the 43-yard touchdown pass. Meyer would drive the Shock down the field and connect with Tennell for his first touchdown of the game giving Spokane a 55-34 lead. Orlando and Spokane would each score one more time to make the halftime score 62-41 and a combined first half score of 103 breaking the previous record of most points scored in a half, 98.
After an explosive first half by both teams the third quarter would be all about slow drives, especially by the Predators. Orlando would receive the second half kickoff and score on a 28-yard touchdown pass from Garcia to Toliver for his fourth touchdown reception of the night. The Shock's second half opening drive would result in a missed 27-yard field goal by Kenny Spencer. The Predators would take over with under 8 minutes to go in the third quarter and have a 9 play drive that took over 5 minutes off the clock ending in a 7-yard touchdown pass from Garcia to Geathers to bring them back within one touchdown at the end of the third quarter with the score 62-54.
After going scoreless in the third quarter the Shock would open the final quarter of play with possession and end their drive on a 4-yard touchdown pass from Meyer to Tennell in the corner of the end zone. As Orlando attempted to continue the comeback they would score on another one play drive when Garcia would go deep and find a wide open Williams for the 41-yard touchdown pass. For the second time in the quarter Meyer would connect with Tennell in the end zone for the 11-yard touchdown pass, making the score 76-61. With both teams going back and forth in the final quarter of play Garcia and Toliver would hook up for their fifth time of the night for the 27-yard touchdown pass. With a good two-point conversion attempt the Predators would pull within 7 points of the Shock 76-69. After another failed onside attempt, Meyer would only need one play to find Tennell in the end zone for his third receiving touchdown of the quarter, bringing the lead to 82-69 with less than 7 minutes to play in the game. With the defense coming up big and causing a four-and-out, the Shock would give the ball right back on a fumble by Solomon. Orlando would score again with 28 seconds to play bringing them within 6 points of the Shock. Orlando would finally recover an onside kick with 24 seconds left and would score the go ahead touchdown to take the lead 83-82 and complete their comeback. With 5 seconds left the Shock would miss a 44-yard field goal attempt by Kenny Spencer giving the Predators the 83-82 win.
Shock quarterback Erik Meyer completed 22 of 31 passes for 263 yards and 7 touchdowns. To go along with one forced fumble, Terence Moore and Terrance Taylor each had a fumble recovery. Terrance Sanders returned 7 kickoffs for 220 yards and 1 touchdown. Adron Tennell had 7 receptions for 76 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Aaron Garcia completed 30 of 48 attempts for 442 yards, 11 touchdowns. T.T. Toliver led the Predator receivers with 18 receptions for 251 yards and 6 touchdowns. Orlando's Maurice Williams had 11 kickoff returns for 207 yards and 1 touchdown.

Passengers said the FBI met United Airlines Flight 116 as it landed at Newark Liberty International Airport, one of the major airports serving New York City, and escorted the man away.
The man's name has not been released, but passengers described him as American. Passengers said he started screaming about nine hours into the 15-hour flight about being afraid of the FBI and fearing he was going to be killed. He asked that the flight be diverted to Canada.
"He was clearly not stable," said passenger Jacques Roizen, who helped wrestle the man to the floor and sat in the same row as him after he was restrained. Roizen said he and other passengers and a flight attendant subdued the man when he started reaching for his pockets.
United said it followed its procedures for dealing with disruptive passengers and decided to continue the flight as scheduled.
Passenger Peter Jones said the passenger called out what he said was his name, his birthdate and his Social Security number several times and said he worked for the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi.
Jones said the man claimed to have information about Edward Snowden, a former U.S. government contractor who leaked a once-secret National Security Agency surveillance program two weeks ago.
"He was just saying he had information relating to Ed Snowden and he was being taken back to some safe house somewhere, never to be seen again," Jones said.
A man who said he was on the same flight and recorded the incident with his phone played the audio for reporters. On the recording, a man screamed and repeated "I'm dead" 23 times. The passenger who recorded the clip did not wish to give his name.
"Snowden? No, he's right! I know this now, I know this because of what just happened to me. He's totally right," the man in the recording said.
Jones said he never heard the man threaten passengers or the plane. While the plane was still in the air, the FBI said the man had claimed everyone aboard the plane was being poisoned, but the agency later said it was working to clarify what the man said.
"He said something that people are going to poison him, that he was going to die," Jones said.
On the recording, the man claimed to work for the government.
"You work for the CIA! If you work for the National Reconnaissance Office, you will not get a trial by jury. You will not get a trial by jury. They think I've done something wrong, put me in front of a judge, say I'm guilty," the man on the recording said.
Another passenger, Paula Shea, said the man claimed he was married to a Chinese spy.
Roizen said he did his best to try to calm him.
"He was very paranoid," he said.
Associated Press writer David Porter contributed to this report.

What's your favorite kid-friendly app?
As much fun as games are to play, and we certainly like Temple Run in our house, I love apps that help children use their imagination and reasoning. Educational apps are fantastic too! The most successful apps, in my opinion, are the ones that involve children in creating and exploring. One of my favorite interactive stories, which I always recommend, is Luna Red Riding Hood (http://www.theiphonemom.com/luna-red-riding-hood-and-cauldron-chaos-review/). The Luna series immerses readers into a magical world and requires reader participation to further the storyline. Another favorite is Monsters vs. Superheros (http://www.theiphonemom.com/monsters-vs-superheroes-comic-book-maker/). This feature-packed app allows children to create their own moving comic using "stickers" and imagination. Finally, to see how much fun fractions can be, treat your child to Squeebles Fractions (http://www.theiphonemom.com/squeebles-fractions-review/).

Smoking and Pregnancy
Did You Know?
Studies have shown that maternal smoking during pregnancy has long-term effects on children's behavior and health, including adolescent drug abuse and negative behavior and conduct such as impulsiveness, risk-taking, and rebelliousness. Prenatal exposure to smoke may also predispose children to early smoking experimentation.
Source: National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information (NCADI)
The risks involved with smoking during pregnancy:
Although fewer women are smoking during their pregnancy now than ever before, the habit still persists among many women. In addition, even if a pregnant woman does not smoke, she may be exposed to secondhand smoke in the household, workplace, or in social settings.
Smoke can be damaging to a fetus in several ways, and may cause the following:
- low birthweight
- preterm birth
- stillbirths
- increased risk of birth defects
Subsequently, babies born to smokers may also have the following problems:
- poor lung development
- asthma and respiratory infections
- increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
- physical growth deficiency
- intellectual development deficiency
- behavioral problems
The mother, too, may experience problems during her pregnancy as a result of smoking, including, but not limited to, the following:
- placental complications
- preterm labor
- infections in the uterus
Researchers believe the effects of carbon monoxide (which reduces oxygen in the blood) and nicotine (which stimulates certain hormones) cause many of these adverse effects.
However, according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), if a woman quits smoking early in her pregnancy, she increases her chance of delivering a healthy baby.

Minn. House, Senate agree on minimum wage increase
ST. PAUL - Legislative leaders agreed to raise the Minnesota minimum wage to $9.50 an hour in 2016, with lower wages for small businesses, those undergoing training, teens and some foreign workers.
The deal announced today includes a provision that beginning in 2018 all wages would increase each Jan. 1 to match inflation, but the state labor commissioner could suspend an increase if the economy is failing.
Full House and Senate votes are expected before lawmakers begin an Easter-Passover break on Friday.
Democrats who control the House and Senate praised the deal. Republicans and business leaders panned it.
"This is a good day for Minnesotans," House Speaker Paul Thissen, D-Minneapolis, said in announcing the agreement.
The House had wanted an automatic increase for inflation, but Senate leaders were concerned. Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk, D-Cook, said that allowing the labor commissioner to stall automatic increases was a good compromise.
The Senate leader also said that phasing in the new minimum wage over three years is a good idea.
"I think we have a pretty strong provision for small businesses," Bakk added.
Businesses with gross sales less than $500,000 annually will have a $7.75 minimum wage when it is fully implemented in 2016.
The agreement also allows large businesses to pay $7.75 for a 90-day training wage for 18- and 19-year-olds, for all 16- and 17-year olds and for some employees from other countries working at places such as resorts.
Mike Hickey of the National Federation of Independent Businesses predicted job losses if the bill is enacted.
Dan McElroy of Hospitality Minnesota said he does not expect many restaurant workers to lose their jobs because of the measure, but predicted continued higher meal prices than in neighboring states that count tips as part of wages. McElroy said he will continue to lobby to include tips in the minimum wage.
The most vocal legislative proponent of a minimum wage, Rep. Ryan Winkler, D-Golden Valley, said that despite an improving economy, many Minnesotans still struggle. He said they will have more money to spend, which will help businesses. He said studies show that raising the minimum wage does not hurt business.
Minnesota's current minimum wage is $6.15, but most businesses fall under the federal $7.25 figure.
President Barack Obama wants to raise the federal wage floor to $10.10, but Republicans who control the U.S. House do not plan to go along with it. The president is taking steps to raise the minimum wage in areas where he has control, such as when the federal government hires private contractors.

After 11 years at the helm of DuPont State Recreational Forest, Supervisor David Brown is retiring at the end of July.
After 11 years at the helm of DuPont State Recreational Forest, Supervisor David Brown is retiring at the end of July.
Brown, who has been with the N.C. Forest Service for 40 years, was originally scheduled to retire June 30.
"But they hadn't named my replacement, so now my paperwork says Aug. 1," Brown said Monday.
He said his successor still hasn't been chosen, but whoever takes his place will oversee more staff than DuPont has ever employed — 11, including part-time workers — along with 40 structures at DuPont and its sister facility, Holmes State Forest.
At a dedication of a new pedestrian bridge Monday, Regional Forester Greg Yates credited Brown with guiding unprecedented growth at DuPont. The forest received 358,000 visitors in 2012, a three-fold increase from the 116,000 people it drew its opening year of 2002.
"I think he's seen more happen in the last six, eight months — as far as improvements here on the forest — than he did in the 11 years prior," Yates said.
Brown was instrumental in making DuPont the regional and national destination it is today, agreed Bill Moyer, former chairman of the forest's advisory committee.
"He's done a great job here," Moyer said. "I think he started with two staff people, trying to do all this. He had no people, no equipment."
Brown plans to retire to his family land in Yadkin County, where he'll still manage about 60 acres of timber and roughly 30 acres of open land. He said he hopes to return to DuPont as often as possible to volunteer.

Recently, two events conspired to converge in an interesting way for me. The first is my interest in and coverage of Google Glass, often mentioned in Friday's Particle Debris, for example, and in this exploration: "Okay, SciFi Fans, What Comes After iPad?"
The second event was meeting my namesake, John A. Martellaro who is the co-founder and CTO of APX Labs in Herndon, Virginia. This fellow isn't the only other John Martellaro I know about, but we've compared notes and seem to be distantly related. When I found out that he is the co-founder of a company specializing in smart glasses (and smart buildings), an interview seemed to be instantly compelling, especially considering the technical community's intense interest in smart glasses and Google Glass.
In fact, this interview reaffirmed my belief that, someday soon, many of us will be wearing smart glasses both casually and for specific kinds of work, explained below. While we may have some computational and wireless hardware in our pockets, the smart glass display's the thing wherein we'll do many kinds things that replace the small display of our smartphones that we carry around today.
With that, here's the interview with Mr. Martellaro. I think you'll find the technology fascinating, and the conversation provides great insights into how smart glass technology works as well as the amazing things APX Labs is doing with the U.S. military. It also provides that all important glimpse into directions for our technological future.
John A. Martellaro, co-founder, APX Labs
TMO: Tell us about what APX Labs does.
JM: APX Labs is working on changing the way people interact with the digital and physical worlds through wearable computing. We build software products for smart glasses and smart buildings. Both of these areas are real-time, contextual, sensor-driven technologies, which is where we have unique expertise.
How we do it involves a lot of smart people and a variety of foundation technologies. We have engineers working on computer vision, biometrics, user interfaces and studying human computer interaction.
We've also tackled these areas in a platform kind-of way, delivering the underlying plumbing that makes them smart and the building blocks which enable customers and other companies to build specific applications using these smart systems.
Our APX blog has a great article on how the company was started.
TMO: What are smart glasses and what is augmented reality?
JM: These are two related concepts in our view:
Smart glasses are devices that have to do two things -- the first is to act as a display -- to give the user a transparent overlay on-top of the real-world. Secondly, they provide contextual information about the user: their location, orientation and state.
Augmented reality (AR) is simply an application that employs contextual overlay information that have a precise understanding of where they are or what is in the scene that is being augmented. Glasses are by far the strongest device for such apps, but not the only ones. However, it's this combination of AR and smart glasses that really drove us to build our company.
TMO: Can you explain a little about how these devices work, optically?
JM: Around 80 percent of physical hardware components of smart glasses are not much different from what goes into a smartphone. In short, the capacitive touch screen of a smartphone is replaced by a microprojector that utilizes a see-through optical lens.
Currently, there are two primary approaches in designing these optics: a prismatic beam splitter and an optical waveguide. A beam splitter takes the light coming out of the microprojector and typically bounces it twice inside a prism, mixing it in 50/50 with the environmental light. These beam splitters typically employ the projector from the top of the frame (along the eyebrows).
An optical waveguide typically employs a side (temple) mounted projection source that bounces light several times within the lens to create the eyebox, which is effectively the area within the lens that the user's eye can visualize the projected image.
APX Labs team meeting. (With a Mac, front and center.)
Both approaches have tradeoffs. A beam splitter, due to its optical simplicity, is often more efficient (less light is lost in adding transparency) and easier to manufacture. A waveguide is significantly thinner and can be more easily implemented in a form factor closer to a typical set of eyeglasses but often at the expense of manufacturability.
In both cases, it's important to note that both displays are additive light based -- the content projected to the user adds to the light that the user's eyes already are seeing. Therefore, the color black (pixel off) is not possible in smart glasses using these optics, which creates a unique set of human factors considerations.
Once you are wearing the glasses, the individual focal lengths of different vendors' optics each appear slightly different which affects how you perceive overlaid content. We've seen resolutions ranging from 300 diagonal pixels to almost fully immersive lenses. This is really where we think the market will start to differentiate.
TMO: Give us some examples of how your smart glasses are used and the industries where they can be helpful. What are we looking at here in terms of cost?
JM: The military was the first adopter of smart glasses, in fact they have been funding various forms of head worn computing for decades. The soldier is perhaps the single person that would most benefit from the situational awareness smart glasses can provide -- just imagine all of the information in your favorite video games like Deus Ex or Halo being there in real life.
Our first software application for military smart glasses was face and voice biometrics. These weren't AR per se but heads-up-display (HUD) applications. APX developed software that functioned in a way very similar to the identification system used by the Terminator in the popular action movies. With our software mated to the army's smart glasses, a soldier at a checkpoint could look at an individual from a distance and determine if the person were dangerous without ever taking their hands off their weapon. The smart glasses automatically detect faces and determine if the subject is on a terrorist watch list or a harmless local then display that in the soldiers view.
That was the start. We built on the success of hands-free biometrics and started laying the ground work for an augmented reality operating system. Smart glasses require a new paradigm in building user experiences, so APX began building an operating system for the military to enable user experiences that truly augmented the soldier's life. Numerous use cases were added including a true "Call of Duty"-like RADAR and real-time audio and video streaming.
The RADAR provides the wearer with the location of all other squad members wearing glasses or carrying a mobile device. "See what I see" audio and video streaming turned out to be one of the most exciting use cases for the solider and their commanders. Other glasses wearers and commanders in a tactical operations center could, for the first time, see what an actual soldier was experiencing and have an unprecedented level of situational awareness to assist the soldier with their mission.
While we continue to develop applications for the military, we've actively begun to move our technology into industrial and enterprise settings such as telemedicine, logistics, and sports. In particular we look at industries or "fan experiences" that can gain a lot of results across large numbers of similar users.
Example of facial recognition in the user's visual field
The cost for smart glasses varies widely based on form factor and performance requirements, and can range from US$500 dollars to several thousand. One of the things we are excited about is the continual innovation on the hardware side which will not only make them smaller and better looking, but will keep driving down costs. Ultimately we think the costs will be on par with a smartphone.
Here's a video of the current AR concepts we have been developing. You'll quickly see that AR and smart glasses have endless uses in everyday life.
TMO: How does what you do with smart glasses differ from what Google is trying to achieve?
JM: We love the idea of Google Glass. From what we've seen so far, Google took a well thought out step toward "wearable" computers. If we were Google, we probably would have done the same thing by appealing to our Android user base, making devices that could be an adjunct to our phones, and making sure the first camera people access (the one on their head) is connected to Google+ rather than to Facebook.
However, we do believe that we (the industry players) are a few years away from a real consumer ready device that could really replace normal glasses as an accessory or rival a phone.We've taken a slightly different route than them -- firstly we don't make hardware, and we support many vendors. More importantly we are focused on enabling different kinds of scenarios. We are laser focused on real-time, contextual problems -- overlaying and interacting with things in the real-world.
Google Glass (credit: Google)
Our understanding is that Google is trying to deliver what is primarily a great consumer heads-up-display. From what the industry at large can tell, the Glass' optics can't render content directly in your line of sight. This really limits some of the use cases for the technology as you lose the ability to render content in context to the environment around the user. You can say we're focused on the smart while they're focused on the Glass. We'll know more after Google's hackathons, but our assumption is that their backend platform really adds most of the brains to their end device.
There is also the difference in AR enabled smart glasses and Google Glass. We really are looking to have capabilities of both in the markets we are pursuing today. This puts a lot more hardware dependency on the final form factor. Google's Glass has a very small prism and lower power processor than most systems we have dealt with. That means there is little onboard Computer Vision support and far more dependence on the server for information. That equates to consuming more wireless bandwidth. All of these applications require special care to balance the use of the device.
TMO: Do you see a conflict between what Google is trying to achieve in their market? After all, they might go after yours and you might go after theirs.
JM: Honestly, every good idea has more than one player in the market and Google's entry into the market sent a great signal to the industry that a major player was willing to try and roll out an ecosystem.
We've been building software for smart glasses for almost three years now and have watched nearly every major mobile device vendor dip a toe into the market. Some of these made us more nervous than others but Google is a little different. They have a real focus on the consumer -- an area we aren't really focused on today.
Three years from now, I think we're going to collide. From a business case, we're working hard to make sure that we're building technology that the market will love. For us that means solving enterprise problems with smart glasses today and continuing to iterate on the technology as the price and form factor options begin to appeal to your everyday mobile device buyer.
TMO: Is there a patent race between you and Google?
JM: Actually yes, there is an intellectual property (IP) free for all right now. Not just us and Google, but many, many other players too. The surface area and the potential is tremendous which is why it has attracted everyone to the party. Dozens of companies are working on everything from optic techniques, applications, features, and so on.
The patent process as a whole is also challenging for small businesses. It forces us to be very careful that we aren't wasting time releasing glamour patents and instead focusing on really innovative ones. We can prove that we invented some things independent of their patents, and I'm sure they can claim the same in other areas. Frankly I think that there will be a number of strong IP portfolios that will develop over the next five years that will likely block new entrants from the market.
TMO: Who are some of the other players in this market worth mentioning?
JM: There are about 20 or so companies who are building full or partial smart glass systems, but only a handful are ready for commercial release. As a technologist, I'm excited to see what Project Fortaleza (Microsoft's rumored solution) will become. They're attacking the problem from the in-living room gamer, which means they must innovate at an aggressive price point. That's challenging with current optics production techniques.
We also have some partners that prefer to stay out of the news that have produced mind bending solutions for the U.S. military. In addition, I'd like to give credit to LinkedIn. No, they aren't building glasses. But they have a number of great communities helping to move the overall wearable industry in a positive direction.
TMO: Where do you see the technology going? For example, will smart glasses eventually replace our current-day smartphones?
JM: At APX, we don't believe that the current handheld mobile market (tablets and smartphones) is disappearing any time soon. However, smart glasses are logical extensions to the handhelds in that they allow access to real-time environmental information and consumption to content that is enabled by the heads-up and hands free nature of smart glasses. In any implementation, there is a tremendous market in wearable smart devices forming right now, and we believe smart glasses will play a big part in it.
In the near term, APX sees this technology really changing life for people we call "deskless workers", those who work with their hands and for whom having access to a plethora of hands-free information is a major benefit.
Over time, as the form-factors become more stylish and the capabilities increase we absolutely see smart glasses moving into the consumer market. It's easy to imagine a future where the technology is small enough and power efficient enough that it can completely replace hand-held devices.
As evidenced by this year's CES, wearable computing is getting incredibly hot. The enterprise is starting to see the benefits of hands-free smart glass computing given hardware that is viable and available today. The public definitely wants this technology to come to market. Although we think the deskless worker can use the technology that's ready now, we think that widespread consumer adoption is still a few years out.

While the history of uniforms and scrubs will be a story in its own right, one of the largest manufacturers of medical apparel deserves independent recognition. It's been a long road trip from the 1922 introduction of Dickies® bib overalls to the American farmer and worker. The Williamson-Dickie Mfg Co makes clothes that look good and wear well, just as it has for almost 90 years.
The Dickies® bib overall is an American icon. The overalls are seen on the farmer in the famous 1930 painting "American Gothic," and almost any photograph of the hard scrabble American laborer. From its inception Dickies® brand apparel has been and continues to be associated with tough jobs requiring quality, long-wearing clothing. In the 1950s, the Company expanded its clothing line to appeal to a broader base of American workers. The 21st century saw a further expansion and medical apparel was added to the clothes' line through a licensee arrangement.
Everyone in the medical profession recalls when medical uniforms, scrubs, and apparel were any color desired…. as long as they were white. To meet the evolving demand of the medical profession, Dickies® introduced more fashion-forward colors. The initial blues and whites were joined with orange, tan, olive, and other solid colors. These evolved into medical apparel with contemporary style, comfortable fit, and panache—the Dickies® medical apparel line that we know and love today.
Other changes in the Dickies® brand apparel line include different styles of tops and pants with comfort, fit, and style in mind. Medical apparel is designed to be easily and thoroughly cleaned, resist staining, and long-wearing. Dickies® offers a wide variety of styles and colors that you'll see at AllHeart.com. Dressing both women and men, the styles offered by AllHeart include new fashions, perfect fits, and a delightful variety of colors, many new for 2009.
It's been a long road trip from when C. N. Williamson and his cousin "Col." Dickie started the U. S. Overall company to Williamson-Dickie Mfg. Co. becoming one of the largest work clothing textile companies in the world. The complete line of medical apparel is part of the AllHeart family. There are hundreds of Dickie® products offered by AllHeart. In addition to the medical apparel, AllHeart carries other Dickies® casual clothes bringing the same durability home from the office for leisure wear. Now that you've learned the story behind that famous horseshoe for Dickies® medical apparel, click on over to the Dickies® pages to check out AllHeart.com for the fantastic assortment of Dickie® scrub tops, scrub pants, lab coats, and even closeouts in many, many styles and colors.

Manchester United agree to loan for Monaco star Radamel Falcao
Manchester United have agreed to a loan deal for Monaco striker Radamel Falcao, subject to a medical and terms.
The Colombia international, who cost Monaco 60 million euros last summer, is set to join Louis van Gaal's squad, sources told ESPN FC.
- Brewin: Is Falcao right for United?
- Darke: United must improve fast
Falcao had also been a target of Real Madrid and had been linked with Arsenal and Manchester City.
His arrival will be one of two transfers United are expected to complete on deadline day, along with finalising Daley Blind's move from Ajax.
Van Gaal had already brought in Southampton left-back Luke Shaw, Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera, Sporting Lisbon defender Marcos Rojo and Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria.
Summer transfer window roundup
- Premier League: Team-by-team ins and outs
- Transfer Centre: All the done deals
- Marcotti: Mind-boggling transfers
- Delaney: What did we learn on deadline day?
- Horncastle: European transfer grades
- Smith: Transfers more important than the game?
- Macintosh: We worship goals, not balance sheets
European champion Madrid had been the favourite to sign Falcao, whose departure from Monaco seemed to be signaled when he was omitted from their squad to face Lille on Saturday.
The 28-year-old, who missed the World Cup because of a cruciate ligament injury, scored 70 goals in 91 games for Atletico Madrid and 72 goals in 87 matches for Porto before joining Monaco.
Falcao's signing has paved the way for Javier Hernandez to move to Real Madrid, with the Mexican's loan move to the Bernabeu confirmed later on Monday.

A man suffering from alcoholism was sitting at home lamenting his situation. He had recently gone through a divorce, his children had decided to live with their mother, and he had lost his job. Glancing at the garbage, he noticed a case of empty beer bottles resting on top. He walked over to the trash, picked up an empty and smashed it, yelling "You are the reason I lost my wife!" Picking up and smashing a second, he screamed "You are the reason I lost my kids!" After smashing a third bottle, he cried "You are the reason I lost my job!" Suddenly, the man looked down to see a full, unopened bottle of beer in the trash. Picking it up, he placed it in his pocket and said, "Stand aside friend, I know you were not involved."

The Amish Boy
An Amish boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again. The boy asked, "What is this, Father?"
The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is."
While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat, old lady went up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady passed between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order.
Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blonde stepped out. The father said quietly to his son...
"Go get your mother."

A blonde is driving recklessly down the highway. The police on duty notices her insane driving, and quickly decides to pull her over.
Once he gets to the window, he asks,
"Ma'am, can you PLEASE explain to me why you're driving so crazily on the highway?"
She replies, "Sorry sir, but I just can't seem to get rid of this tree infront of my car. It follows me everywhere I go!"
The police looks over to the front, and says,
"Ma'am, that's not a tree. That's your air freshener."

This is how I understand it.. This edison is being internet bullied and this guy has his back lol
here is my joke of the day.
Late night out
A man tells his wife that he's going out to buy cigarettes. When he gets to the store he finds out however , that it's closed. So the guy ends up going down to the local bar to use the vending machine. While there he had a few beer and began talking to this beautiful girl.
He had a few more beer and the next thing he knew he was in this girl's apartment and having quite a pleasurable time. The next thing he knew it was 3:00 AM.
"Oh my, god , my wife is going to kill me!" he exclaimed. "Quick give me some talcum powder!"
She got him some and he rubbed it all over his hands. When he got home his wife was up waiting for him and she was furious. "Where the hell have you been!"
He said, "Well to tell you the truth, I went into a bar, had a few drinks, went home with this blonde and I slept with her."
"Let me see your hands!" she demanded. He showed his wife his powdery hands. "Damn liar, You were out bowling again!"

text: I have recently installed ISPConfig 3 in a new server. The system was OK after the installation, but when I have physically installed it in the data center, I have realized that external DNSs responses were not functioning. I have parked two separate domains on the server and added some A and CNAME records using ISPconfig interface. Server does not respond to external queries. Just for your information, the version installed is 188.8.131.52 and the WAN interface is on the DMZ (so no port forwarding is required). I can confirm that, the prior server (an ISPconfig 2 machine) had no issues using the existing configuration. I have used the following different installations when trying to localize the problem. Just to make sure that I was not doing any mistakes I have installed and checked each configuration separately. The Perfect Server – Debian Squeeze (Debian 6.0) With BIND & Dovecot [ISPConfig 3] The Perfect Server – Debian Squeeze (Debian 6.0) With BIND & Courier [ISPConfig 3] In all of these cases, BIND queries failed. Later I have discovered that during boot I receive BIND related errors. When I use /etc/init.d/bind9 restart, it looks like the service is running, but again no response on the outside. Could this be a specific BIND bug related to current version? Thanx, Hakan

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – With two assists, senior Casey Flynn broke the Institute record for assists in a season as her total now stands at 27. The feat made her MIT's all-time leader for season and career goals, assists, and points. However, Flynn's performance would not be enough as the Engineers fell to nationally-ranked No. 10 Babson College, 18-5, in a NEWMAC women's lacrosse game on Tuesday.
Stephanie Leger registered a hat-trick for MIT (8-5, 3-2 NEWMAC) as Erica Little tacked on a goal and an assist. Laura Wacker posted two groundballs, two caused turnovers, and a goal while Molly McShane gathered two groundballs. Lauren Rodda totaled four groundballs as Kelly Duncan earned a pair of caused turnovers. Goalie Allison Hamilos made 15 saves in net.
Anna Collins scored four goals and assisted two others while Kaitlyn Pettengill scored six goals. Trisha Babson recorded two goals, three assists, and six draw controls for the Beavers while also winning 14 of 17 face-offs. Erin Daley and Taylor Kralovenec netted two goals apiece, Jamie Spang contributed one goal and two assists, and Sarah Macary finished with 10 saves in 46 minutes in net. Laura Bronner finished out the game with two saves.
The Beavers (11-3, 5-0 NEWMAC) put the game out of reach by outscoring the Cardinal and Gray, 13-0, in the first half. MIT got on the board when Little connected on a feed from Flynn after 2:10 expired in the second stanza. Leger followed with a free-position shot just over a minute later. Babson answered with three straight goals to push its lead to 16-2 with 21:42 on the clock. Wacker converted a free-position shot, but the Beavers followed with another goal. Leger redirected a feed from Little at the 7:24 mark as Babson found the back of the net a minute later. The Engineers capped the scoring with 39 seconds to go on a marker from Leger that was set up by Flynn.
