About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services. Report an instance of misconduct »

Instances of Misconduct
1. Gordon v. ArmorGroup North America
James Gordon, former director of operations at ArmorGroup North America (AGNA) (owned by Wackenhut Services, Inc.), filed a False Claims Act whistleblower retaliation lawsuit alleging that AGNA fired him for exposing deficiencies and illegalities relating to AGNA's contracts with the U.S. State Department to provide security at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan and at the U.S. Naval base in Bahrain. In July 2011, AGNA and its affiliates paid $7.5 million to resolve the lawsuit. The settlement resolved claims that in 2007 and 2008, AGNA guards violated the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) by visiting brothels in Kabul, and that AGNA's management knew about the guards' activities. The settlement also resolved allegations that AGNA misrepresented the prior work experience of 38 third country national guards it had hired to guard the Embassy, and that AGNA failed to comply with certain Foreign Ownership, Control and Influence mitigation requirements on the embassy contract, and on a separate contract to provide guard services at the Naval base in Bahrain. See related G4S PLC instance, "Sauer et al. v. ArmorGroup North America."... more»
2. Sauer et al. v. ArmorGroup North America
James Sauer and Peter Martino, former employees of ArmorGroup North America (AGNA) (owned by Wackenhut Services, Inc.), filed a False Claims Act whistleblower retaliation lawsuit alleging that AGNA fired them for exposing the company's misrepresentations regarding its experience, staffing capabilities, equipment and facilities with regard to its contract with the U.S. State Department to provide security at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. The parties settled the case out of court pursuant to a confidential agreement. See related G4S pending instance, "Gordon v. ArmorGroup North America."... more»
3. False Claims at Savannah River Site
Wackenhut Services, Inc.

4. Hiring Discrimination in Aurora, CO
Wackenhut Corp. (doing business as G4S Wackenhut) entered into a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs to settle accusations of discrimination in the hiring of African-Americans from January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2003. As part of the settlement, Wackenhut agreed to pay $290,000 in back pay and interest on behalf of 446 rejected African-Americans who applied for positions as security officers at its Aurora, Colorado facility.... more»
5. Miami-Dade County Overbilling (Criminal Prosecutions)
Eight former Wackenhut employees were arrested and charged with violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act related to the overbilling of Miami-Dade County on a contract to provide security services for the county's public transportation system (see G4S instance "Miami-Dade County Transit Security Officers Contract Audit"). The defendants were accused of participating in a scheme between 2002 and 2005 to submit falsified billing records to the county in order to fulfill Wackenhut's contractual staffing requirements. Prosecutors dropped charges against Rene Pedrayes and Eduardo Esquivel, while Roberto Alvarado, Nathan Holmes, William Acosta, Roberto Pereira, and Elijah Pendleton pleaded guilty to grand theft. Erika Reyan's case was dismissed in 2012 because the statute of limitations had run out.... more»
6. State Department Inspector General Evaluation of Kabul Embassy Security Contract
A September 2010 report by the U.S. State Department Office of Inspector General (OIG) identified numerous problems with the agency's contract with ArmorGroup North America (AGNA) (owned by Wackenhut Services, Inc.) to provide security at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. The deficiencies identified by the OIG include AGNA hiring guards without verifiable experience, training, or background checks, not being able to account for 101 government-furnished weapons that had been missing since 2007, and allowing individuals who were not properly screened to have unescorted access to government facilities containing sensitive materials.... more»
7. Back Pay Due Employees at Independence National Historical Park
Wackenhut Services Inc. informed its employees at the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pa. that they will be receiving back pay owed to them after an employee, Officer Charles Wilson, filed a wage and hour complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor.

8. Mozambique Overtime Pay Violations
It was reported that Mozambique's Administrative Tribunal rejected Wackenhut's appeal of an order by the Labor Ministry to pay over 11 years of overtime to hundreds of its security guards. Wackenhut admitted that between 1994 and 2005 it had not paid any overtime to the guards, who had been working 12 hour shifts, four hours more than the standard eight hour day. In May 2006, an arbitration panel ruled that Wackenhut had to pay overtime, but found the amount the workers claimed they were owed – 33.9 billion old meticais (approximately $1.3 million) – had not been proved. However, since Wackenhut did not provide a basis on which an alternate amount could be calculated, the Ministry demanded that Wackenhut pay the 33.9 billion meticais.... more»
9. Jail Mismanagement
In 1999, it was reported that the state of Texas terminated Wackenhut's $12 million a year contract to run a jail in Travis County due to mismanagement that eventually led to several guards being charged with sexually assaulting female inmates.

A state audit showed that the jail barely kept the minimum number of guards required in the contract.... more»
10. Trimble v. Wackenhut Corp. (Fraudulent Overbilling)
Michelle Trimble, a former Wackenhut employee at Miami-Dade County's Juvenile Assessment Center, filed a false claims lawsuit alleging Wackenhut submitted inflated bills for its guard services at the facility.

In February 2010, Wackenhut agreed to settle the case with Miami-Date County and Trimble for $7.5 million. See related G4S instance, "Miami-Dade County Transit Security Officers Contract Audit."... more»

12. Abuse and Neglect at Louisiana Juvenile Facility
The Department of Justice settled a lawsuit with the state of Louisiana and Wackenhut over allegations of excessive force and neglect at the company's Jena Juvenile Justice Center. The government alleged juveniles were being subjected to "dangerous and life-threatening conditions" at the center. The DOJ filed the emergency lawsuit under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. In the days that followed, Wackenhut turned over control of the facility to the state, which agreed to implement major reforms at the facility.... more»
13. Security Breaches at DHS Headquarters
In April 2006, Congressional Quarterly reported that Wackenhut lost its contract to provide security services at the Department of Homeland Security's Washington, D.C. headquarters following a mishandled anthrax threat and allegations of poor training and extensive security breaches. DHS sought new bidders for the contract, worth an estimated $9 million a year.... more»

The jury found in Gutierrez's favor and awarded him $1.2 million in damages.... more»
19. Data Theft Reimbursement / Billing Irregularity (Nashville, TN)
On Christmas Eve 2007, two laptop computers containing voters' personal data were stolen from the Davidson County Election Commission in Nashville, Tenn., where Wackenhut provides security services. Several days later, the city of Nashville demanded Wackenhut Corp. pay $109,000 in damages arising from the theft and to reimburse the city for the cost of sending out letters to each of the 337,000 voters whose data was stored on the computers. During the city's investigation, auditors also allegedly discovered that, for at least three months at the end of 2007, Wackenhut had billed the city for guard services at the building during times when records show no guards were on duty. In May 2008, the city asked Wackenhut to refund a total of over $840,000, encompassing audit fees, mailing expenses, the cost of providing identity-theft protection to more than 56,000 voters, and $21,575 for security services the city claims Wackenhut never provided. The company has reportedly paid back $22,000 in overbillings, but the city still seeks restitution for the $773,000 cost of buying identity protection for every registered voter and sending out letters to voters, along with the $50,000 cost of auditing Wackenhut after the incident. The city filed suit against Wackenhut in October 2008. In July 2009, the city and Wackenhut settled for $400,000.... more»
20. Miami-Dade County Transit Security Officers Contract Audit
According to an audit conducted by Miami-Dade County, Wackenhut Corp. billed Miami-Dade Transit over $6 million over three years for work its security guards did not perform. The audit also found Wackenhut owes the county an additional $233,500 in liquidated damages and other miscellaneous chargebacks. See related G4S PLC instance, "Trimble v. Wackenhut Corp. (Fraudulent Overbilling)."... more»
21. Holston Army Ammunition Plant Back Pay
About 280 current and former Wackenhut Services Inc. fire and security contract workers at the Holston Army Ammunition Plant (HAAP) in Kingsport, Tennessee were awarded approximately $2.5 million in back pay dating back to 1999. The workers filed a complaint with the Department of Labor alleging their pay and benefits were too low and in violation of the McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act of 1965 (SCA), which requires federal contractors and subcontractors to pay service employees no less than the prevailing wage and benefit rates found in the locality. At the time of the decision, the Army stated the back pay award would ultimately be Wackenhut's responsibility, while Wackenhut claimed that federal procurement regulation allowed it to bill the Army for the back pay.... more»

I got a warning saying this was designed for Android 4.0 (I was running 4.2.1) but I proceeded anyway. The tweak completely removed the soft keys. Having a Nexus you'll understand this makes navigating the phone rather challenging. I had to find a Factory ROM (As Google had taken the default ones down).
So all this at 5AM, finishing at 7AM left me back at square one. I am brand new to Android though so hopefully learning this the hard way will be for the best.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, October 20, 1:00 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Rynearson Stadium (30,200) -- Ypsilanti, Michigan. Television:ESPN3. Home Record: Army 1-3, EMU 0-3. Away Record: Army 0-2, EMU 0-3. Neutral Record: Army 0-0, EMU 0-0. Conference Record: Army 0-0, EMU 0-3. Series Record: Army leads, 4-0.
GAME NOTES: Two teams desperate for a win clash as the Army Black Knights head to Rynearson Stadium to take on the Eastern Michigan Eagles.
Army saw its record drop to 1-5 last week as it was defeated 31-17 by Kent State of the MAC. The loss came just a week after the Black Knights' only victory, which came over Boston College. Although it has a win over an ACC program, Army was also beaten 23-3 by Stony Brook of the FCS on Sept. 29.
Although EMU had an offensive outburst and scored a season-high 47 points last week, it still failed to pick up its first win. Now in his fourth season at the helm of the program, coach Ron English has an 8-34 career record. The Eagles carry an eight-game losing streak dating back to last season into this one.
This will be just the fifth meeting in history between these programs. The Black Knights have won all four previous meetings, the most recent of which they earned a 31-27 decision in Ypsilanti on Sept. 4, 2010.
Although Army is normally one of just a handful of programs in the country that still utilize a wishbone offensive scheme that relies almost exclusively on the run, it set new season-highs in passing attempts (20) and yards (132) in last week's loss to Kent State. Through just six games, the Black Knights have amassed 2,311 yards on the ground, which is the most in the nation. On the other side Army has only 403 passing yards.
With such a prolific rushing attack the Black Knights have had a stable of backs carrying the ball, led by Raymond Maples, who has 751 yards on 123 carries for a solid 6.1 yards per carry and 125.2 yards per game. Larry Dixon (494 yards, 5 TDs) and quarterback Trent Steelman (497 yards, 8 TDs) receive the majority of the carries when Army nears the goal line.
As a passer, Steelman has completed only 21 passes all season for 337 yards and one touchdown. Last week, freshman QB A.J. Schurr played the final two drives and passed for 66 yards and a touchdown. When Schurr is under center, it is clear Army has a deeper playbook due to his passing ability. Even if Steelman is sidelined for a few drives, he will see plenty of action due to his excellent mobility. One more rushing touchdown will tie Steelman with Mike Mayweather for second on the program's all-time career rushing scores list.
Chevaughn Lawrence had a career day last week with six receptions for 88 yards. The sophomore wideout had never had more than a single catch in a game prior to last week.
On defense, Army has a number of prolific tacklers led by Geoffery Bacon, who has piled up 62 tackles. Brandon Fusilier-Jeffires has 36 total tackles, while Nate Combs has been a force on the line with six sacks and nine total tackles for loss.
Offense has not been a strength of Eastern Michigan, but it showed it has upside last week. The Eagles are ranked 106th out of 120 FBS teams in total offense (323.2 ypg) and have the lowest scoring average (20.7 ppg) in the MAC. Those numbers were much lower until last week's 47-point and 624-yard output in the high-scoring loss to Toledo.
Bronson Hill was the catalyst for the outburst as he turned in the best rushing performance in the nation this year with 283 yards on 28 rushes. He also tied the school record with four touchdown runs. Hill had never rushed the ball more than four times in a game before in his career.
Tyler Benz also had a big game last week, passing for career-bests of 301 yards and two touchdowns. Benz also had personal highs of 18 completions and 27 attempts. The junior quarterback was much more effective with Hill demanding Toledo's attention.
Garrett Hoskins is the primary weapon in EMU's passing attack. His season totals of 23 receptions and 306 yards are exponentially better than all of his teammates.
The Eagles' defense has struggled all season long, surrendering 515.5 yards and 39.7 points per game. The biggest concern for coach English, especially this week versus Army, has to be the rush defense, which ranks last in the FBS as opponents are averaging 296.8 yards on the ground against EMU this season.
Donald Coleman and Bryan Pali are tied for the team-lead with 60 total stops. EMU needs its defenders to start making plays to improve its turnover margin, which is minus-0.67 per game.
Army's offense is tailor-made to shred up teams that have trouble stopping the run. The Eagles' offense will need to have a high-powered attack for a second week in a row as their defense is unlikely to succeed.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Army 35, Eastern Michigan 31

Family of Barrow Man swept out to sea in Blackpool pay tribute
Last updated at 09:47, Thursday, 03 January 2013
THE family of the man swept into rough seas in Blackpool have paid tribute.
Paul Morris, 41, from South Shore in Blackpool but formerly from Rawlinson Street, Barrow, was swept into the sea in gale force winds just after midnight on Tuesday morning.
Attempts to recover Mr Morris' body resumed this morning, with officers from Liverpool Coastguard searching the beach around Blackpool's South Pier, however the team have had to finish the search with high tide due at 1.50pm.
A statement from the family read: "Paul is a hardworking man who enjoys spending time with friends and loves his family dearly. He's only recently moved back to Blackpool and we're obviously shocked by what has happened and it's a difficult time for us all, particularly as Paul can't swim and we fear the worst.
"We're now just waiting for that fateful call to say that he's been found so we can have some closure. We'd like to thank all the emergency services for their efforts in trying to find and rescue Paul."
Mr Morris has a mum, sister and two brothers.
According to police Mr Morris was walking a dog with two friends along the steps that lead from the promenade to the sea near to South Pier, when a wave washed him and a friend into the sea. His friend managed to climb out of the water but Mr Morris did not emerge.
Reports indicate that Prince William, 30, was a member of a four-man Sea King helicopter crew scrambled from RAF Valley in Anglesey as part of the search, which was called off in the early hours of Tuesday.
Police have said that the man moved from Barrow to Blackpool about a month ago.

Have your say
Karen ,MAY and family, thinking of you all our deepest sympathy goes out to you all.RIP Paul from tan ,raph and dale x
Paul was very loving and an extremely good friend to me, we spent 6 months together working at the pig and whistle in Cartmel and he was an amazing head chef and would do anything for everyone. I must say your article is one of the best I have found about Paul, as others have made more of a story of who went to save him than the fact that a man has gone through some tragic accident. So thank you very much for that, he deserves the greatest write up ever, an amazing man. And will be deeply missed by everyone.

During the months leading into the National Football League selection process, professional scouts almost try to talk themselves out of a prospect.
Instead of the excitement and intrigue in taking a player, the personnel try to become their own private eye detectives in finding hidden information or what they refer to as "red flags" to deter them from staking their careers on a 20-22 year-old kid.
Since his final game in a Mississippi State jersey, a 52-14 victory in the 2011 Gator Bowl over Michigan, scouts are starting to realize Sherrod is about as clean as they come.
"I always say we are in the dirt business, that's what we try to do first, to see what's underneath that hood," Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo said in his Thursday per-draft press conference. "(Sherrod) is impeccable in terms of his citizenship, his work ethic, he's very intelligent."
And so yes, that's the problem with the 6-foot-6, 305-pound left tackle – he's too nice.
"He doesn't have that killer instinct to his play and is a bit passive," National Football Post scouting director Wes Bunting said. The Columbus native, who will try to watch the draft tonight in his hometown, was one of 16 players to win the storied National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Award, which included a post-graduate $18,000 scholarship. His off-the-field credentials include earning his degree in business from MSU with a 3.54 GPA and being a four-year member of the M-Club, MSU's student-athlete community service organization, which included spending considerable time with the youth of Mississippi.
And all of that is nice if NFL executives were convinced the man who enjoys laughing with the media and isn't shy to flash that child-like smile was willing to get mean and nasty on Sundays the minute he steps on the gridiron, which they are not.
"We're not looking for best friends or neighbors," Angelo said. "We're looking for guys who get it and come in here with good attitudes, good work ethics and are very passionate about football. If they have those things in common, I can personally get along with them. Particularly if they have talent."
Sherrod could become the first Mississippi State player taken in the first round of the NFL Draft since 1996, which is the longest drought for a Southeastern Conference program.
The last time Mississippi State had a first round draft pick in the NFL was the duo of Walt Harris and Eric Moulds at 13 and 24 respectively.
Coaches, scouts and general managers have been constantly calling Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen trying to get the inside scoop to a player he never recruited but called "my best football player" during the 2010 season.
"Derek's the kind of player you build programs around," Mullen said.
In most mock drafts, Sherrod is projected to be a late first round pick and most frequently predicted to be the Chicago Bears future property at the 29th spot.
Angelo and Chicago head coach Lovie Smith previously took a offensive tackle with the 14th selection in 2008 from the SEC in Vanderbilt's Chris Williams.
"Physically, I'd say (they are) comparable in terms of intangibles, but Chris was a little better athlete in terms of his hip movement," Angelo stated. "Derek has longer arms in terms of his pass protection. Is there a big difference? We took Chris in the first half of the first round (No. 14), I don't think Derek is projected to go there."
Sherrod could switch to right tackle in the NFL and worked on both sides of the line for Chicago's offensive line coach Mike Tice at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.
In 2010, the Bears starting quarterback Jay Cutler absorbed in a career-high 57 sacks, which limited the team's ability to reach the full potential of offensive coordinator Mike Martz's offensive scheme.
"I'll be happy wherever I go, because a lot of people don't get this opportunity," Sherrod told the Associated Press.
Either way after a Saturday scrimmage this spring, Sherrod said local fans that have grown up watching him in the area throughout his career will still see him in the offseason.
"I definitely plan on coming back because this is my home, the Columbus and Starkville area, so I definitely plan on showing my face around here often," Sherrod said.
Other teams in the first round that could be interested in the large offensive tackle position class could be the New York Giants (19th overall), Kansas City Chiefs (21st), indianapolis Colts (22nd), New England Patriots (28th) and the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers rounding out the first round at No. 32.
"I think he goes anyway from 20-30," Bunting said.

California residents only: "Proposition 65" WARNING
Necklace & Bracelet Clasp Types
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.
How are created or simulated gemstones different from natural gemstones? Natural gems are created by the forces of nature and must be discovered, usually by digging in the ground or sifting through a riverbed. When these stones are created in a laboratory, they are called created, simulated or synthetic gemstones.
The purpose of creating gemstones in a laboratory isn't necessarily to reduce the cost, but also to produce larger, more perfectly consistent stones. Created or simulated gems can be made of any material. Synthetic gems, however, share virtually all chemical, optical and physical characteristics of their natural mineral counterparts.
Austrian crystals: These are known for their excellent reflective quality and prismatic brilliance. This man-made crystal is created using natural minerals and quartz sand, which are then heated and slowly cooled using a process similar to that of creating hand-blown glass. This process creates an end product that can be fashioned into a beautiful crystal.
A special machine is used to create a highly faceted crystal. The crystals are cut in various directions, which allows for excellent light refraction, exceptional brilliance and unsurpassed color quality at an affordable price.
Today Swarovski® is one of the largest suppliers of high-end crystals. In the late 1800s, Daniel Swarovski invented a machine to cut crystal with extreme precision. He patented his technique and to this day, only select Swarovski family members and employees have unrestricted access to the production facility that creates these crystals. They are used to decorate everything from stilettos and sculptures, to chandeliers, jewelry and clothing.

uh, I just tried 4 programs, none of them say the clock speeds went down.
You might highly doubt that moving from Win7 to Win8 would change temperatures, but you'd be wrong. Someone else here already confirmed it. The hardware configuration is the exact same. My idle temperatures are incredibly consistent, and do not vary by more than 5 degrees over an entire year. My Win7 idle temp was 39-40*C, every day, for the past 3 months. Then one day, I installed Windows 8, and my idle temp was 33-34*C, on the very same day that Win7 measured 39-40*C, using the same measuring softwares (I used SpeedFan and OHM on both OSes), which both report that they are getting the data from the same internal sensor ID (IT8720F-1).
So the only explanations I can think of is that either A) my Win7 install had more CPU usage when idle (very possible, I had a ton of programs installed, but I checked CPU usage often and I would try to eliminate programs that used CPU in the background) than my Win8 install did. Since I am running the same set of programs on Win8 that I was on Win7, I have to believe that the Windows 8 kernel itself is less CPU-intensive. This would make sense, since they designed it to be run on battery-powered mobile devices.
or B) the CPU clock speed is being decreased when IDLE, but it isn't being accurately measured by any of the 4 programs I've tried. Even though they all report the CPU clock speed in real-time, and I can see the minor variations in 100's of kHz in clock speed, so I know that they aren't just a static snapshot of a CPU clock speed in the past.
Well in the new Performance tab of the Windows 8 task manager select CPU and it should be the most accurate thing possible for showing you the current speed. I'd also suggest updating your BIOS as manufacturers will have pushed updates after Windows 8 came out.

MSP 430 - The wonder chip for data acquisition and control
A new microcontroller chip named MSP 430 has been released by Texas Instruments (TI). For beginners like me, here's the deal:
1. This chip is a small computer that will help you acquire voltage, convert it into digital signals and send it to the computer all within 50 bucks. You can get 3 chips soldered on a nice evaluation board for $10 too!
2. Not only do these microcontrollers help your data acquistion, they can be also be used for basic control by sending out voltages.
3. Its real easy to program the chip to do these things because most of the programs are already on the web!
4. I think this is the coolest feature- TI has integrated this chip with a wireless transceiver.(model: ez430-rf2500) That means that you can start getting data into the chip and send it wirelessly to your computer! And, at the computer's end, TI provides a USB device to get the data just like a wireless mouse's receiver. All this at 50 bucks.
5. Again no worries about programming and soldering, these chips come soldered on evaluation boards and loaded with the right programs. If you are not satisfied with the current setting, a few lines of the program need to be changed to get the chip to do 'exactly' what you need.
6. For those familiar with data acquisition, no more Labview or MATLAB or Simulink. The data from the chip goes directly viewed in hyperterminal and saved to a text file.
7. Lastly, TI has different types of development kits which have other components already interfaced to the chip. You can choose one based on your need. For example, one development kit has a neat digital display to receive data from the chip. You would use this if you are developing some kind of a hand held meter and wanted to display measurements.
I love tools like these microcontrollers. But, the learning curve and complexity put me off microcontrollers for a long time. I got this one after hearing about it as a wireless data acquisition device. Wouldn't have ventured near it if somebody told me it was a 'microcontroller'! But, the learning curve on the chip was so short that I now think every project requiring sensing and getting signals into computers should use these MSP430s.
p.s: No, I have nothing to do with TI!

A Place to Paint
We've all heard of cars that received a fantastic show-winning finish while being sprayed in a garage, barn, or even a driveway or carport. The fact is that quality painting requires a quality environment to work in-and safety recommends the use of a professional spray booth for all painting activities. True, few of us have the good fortune of a pro-quality paint booth for our one-off project ambitions, but nearly anyone can find access to a booth with a little legwork. Often a pro facility will be willing to rent booth time to hobbyists at a nominal fee. A pro facility will usually come with a professional-level air supply, the specific lighting needed, and most importantly, the proper ventilation system that ensures a safe paint project. The modern paint booth contains high powered fans that draw the air through filters, and downward, taking the unwanted overspray away from the vehicle being painted.
Air and Air Supply
A need that is a vital part of any paint project is, of course, a compressed air source to operate the spray equipment at the time the paint and primer materials are applied. Further, most autobody power tools are traditionally air powered, running the range from air sanders and body files, to reciprocating saws, grinders, and in some instances, even the buffers and polishers. The bottom line is that a paint project requires a reliable and ample supply of air. When it comes to compressors, it is typically the case that too much is never a problem, but falling short in terms of required air delivery at a critical point of the job can spell disaster.
Air compressors are most commonly rated in terms of volume by Standard Cubic Feet per Minute (SCFM), which is a measure of the volume of air delivered per minute of run time. Be aware that the volume delivered is greater at low pressure than at higher output pressures, so it's important to note the pressure (PSI) at which the volume (SCFM) specification is rated. For instance, a compressor may put out 11 SCFM at 40 psi, but at 125 psi, that output may be only 5-6 SCFM. Another consideration is the size of the storage tank which receives the compressed air. A larger tank will considerably cut down on the duty cycle of a properly-sized compressor, while providing a more stable air supply.
How much compressor is enough? At a minimum, this will depend upon the requirements of the tools being used, and fortunately most are also rated in SCFM for air consumption. As with the compressor output, it's important to note the pressure at which the tool's air consumption is rated. It also pays to figure a margin of about 50 percent over capacity when comparing the compressor output to the requirements of the tools. When it comes to compressors, the golden rule is that bigger is almost always better, and that goes for both capacity and storage tank size.
Presuming air of sufficient quantity is available, the next and equally important factor is air quality. Compressed air can often contain moisture that will condense into water at the tool or spray equipment, and water will certainly foul the paint. Oil contamination is also a possibility, often from worn or inadequately maintained compressors. The key here is to make sure the air compressor is in good mechanical condition, and the air delivery system is set up with a minimum of one water trap/separator. Another item that should be included in the air delivery system is a true pressure regulator. This will provide a stable and constant air pressure to the spray gun or equipment independent of the pressure fluctuations in the storage tank. A further regulator or choke is used at the spray equipment to set the air pressure at the tool.
Spray Equipment: Paint Guns
It used to be that just a few standard units dominated the field of autobody refinishing. These guns were predominantly conventional suction-feed types manufactured by DeVilbiss, Binks, and Sharpe. The landscape changed with the introduction of High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) equipment more than a decade ago, initially introduced to cut waste and emissions from spray equipment in keeping with regulatory requirements. While the older conventional-style equipment is still capable of providing excellent results, the modern HVLP equipment has come to dominate the industry.

In 2009, No Starch Press was going to publish a book named, "LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT One-Kit Creatures", but we had a parting of the ways. The No Starch book does not exist—and never will.You'd be doing me a big favor if you asked Amazon (Germany) to remove the book from its listings.
Currently,the real "NXT One-Kit Creatures" is only available from Amazon U.S. I'd love for my books to be available on Germany's Amazon, but at the moment, I'd have to publish a minimum of 25 different titles for that to happen.

When I have nothing new to show you…I show you fabric! I bought some Denyse Schmidt prints and basics at a local shop…those jewel tones just sucked me in. Most of that top stack is from the line Florence (and a little Chicopee thrown in)…you can find bundles of it here, or here.
I'm finally going to make my kids new sturdy trick or treat bags. Their old ones are too small and flimsy…so this time I'm going to make quilted bags with one handle for easy filling.
This pumpkin fabric is probably my favorite Halloween print ever ever ever. You can find it here, or here.
I re-painted my Gray dresser Gray this week. :) The old gray was too taupe…and bugged me every time I walked in my room. I used Annie Sloan chalk paint in Paris Gray this time. You can see the before picture(s) here…it was scratched to death when I got it.
Let's hope for a nice lazy weekend so I can finally sit down at my lonely sewing machine!

PAUL (GBACE) BCEBS 1 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ With the help of a handful of citizens, an organization called, "Try-Lite" has been formed. Our one and only purpose is to help combat the drug problem in Freeport. We have applied for a charter and are presentjly looking for a facility and a telephone. There have been many articles written on drugs. Too few realize it, but the drug problem is on everyone's d6oratep. For many of us it is already inside. For some it is too late. Fear and panic set in. Shame, disappointment, family relationships are destroyed. At this point the parents are in need of immediate help and direction—^but where to go? There are feeling by many that community programs are not effective, mainly because most of them lack professional stall. It is unlikely that a kid "hung-up" will be able to relate or identify with the professionals—^Doctors, Lawyer, or Indian Chief. They're turned off—no communication. Un-informed, they refer to "the professionals" in the Nassau County Drug Abuse Commission. It is felt tiiat they are the "qualifted." Services provided by the county are unfortunately not enough to satisfy the demands made en them. There are services being rendered by the ex-addict and parents of addicts. These are the real professionals because they've been there down that road. With them, the drug abuse can identify, relate, talk the same language and most of all can't care. The old saying is, "It takes one to know one." The parents of addicts are also effective because they too relate, benefit by one anothers mistakes. There is a certain amount of comfort in sharing hurts and fears, knowing you're not alone. Talking is the start, a healthy attitude. Those of us who have be^n fortunate enough to of been helped, feel the need to extend a helping hand. We are small in numbers but we will grow. This chain reaction is happening all over the country. We need personal involvement. The kids feei, "II we the parents don't care—why should they?" They're really desperate and they want us involved. This is where "Try-Lite" is at—we care and we want to help. Many have questioned our aims—what services will we perform? The very first thing we can do is to try and awaken this community. Freeport has one of the highest numbers of drug abusers. Some of us are guilty of "talking to or talking down"—. Let us start by talking with each other, and our youth, and most of all listening. We've been "turned off' too long. We sit idly by expecting someone else to solve our problems. Join and help support "Try- Lite." Attend meetings.

The "brain" of that robot can't be on-board can it? The article said they were creating something that could think like the human brain, and later it mentioned information about Public Policy (giving the robot background info)...clearly a package that small isn't going to store that much memory...is it? I see two wireless antenna's...at a distance thinking...haha, it's lost it's mind!

I like to think of learning and teaching as a shared responsibility. While it is the students' job to wrap their heads around new concepts, it is my job to present these concepts from a variety of angles, making the picture as clear as possible.
True understanding often comes as a flash of inspiration. It is both thrilling and challenging to take a difficult concept and break it down into manageable pieces for my students and for myself.

Écorché (Figure Study of Musculature)
In this suite of three drawings, Daniel Huntington rendered the idealized male figure—based on an ancient Greek sculpture of a dancing faun that he most likely knew from a plaster cast—in progressively complete anatomical states. Using different colored media and a combination of crisp outlines and soft hatchings, the artist rendered the human form with great precision and sensitivity to the distinct properties of skin, muscle, and bone. As a group, these sheets provide a virtuoso demonstration of the academic principle that an understanding of anatomy is fundamental to figural representation.

Not sure whether this should be in childrens books or here but...
Anyone had experience in taking books to a sceond hand book sellers?
When I went to Pentecostal Sunday School, I was given books as prizes. They are of a Christian bent, as you would expect. All except one has a dust jacket and all are in good condition for their age. They are date stamped 1967/1968/1969)/1970 and all the book plates are made out to me. All are 1st Editions.
Despite going to the Lutterworth (1967) and Victory (rest) publishers, I can find nothing on the Authors.
Is it worth taking them to a book sellers/e-bay/Amazon or should I just keep them? I don't read them. On Amazon two sellers have totally different prices, £250 and £1.50 respectively!

exactly why bowties are cool

This one just left me feeling cold. It dragged a lot and wasn't up to the normal pace that I have come to expect from Doctor Who in recent years.
Hopefully 2011's series will be back on form.
