USC redshirt freshman QB Max Wittek has three carries on the season for negative 13 yards. He may not be good at running the ball, but he's making a name for himself running his mouth after guaranteeing a USC victory over Notre Dame yesterday. Wittek, who will start in place of injured Heisman candidate (hahahahaha) Matt Barkley, told ESPN Radio's LA affiliate, "I'm going to go out there, I'm going to play within myself...and we're going to win this ballgame." That's big talk coming from a QB making his first career start against the number one scoring defense in the nation, but if Wittek's coach has taught us anything over the last five years it's that there's nothing wrong with talking an endless amount of **** even if you never back any of it up. "The balls on you man." Manti Te'o: handle this. (Photo: Bleacher Report)

Safety board urges total cell phone use ban by all drivers
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Dec. 13 recommended banning all U.S. drivers from using mobile phones or sending text messages – even with headsets or portable speakers – to prevent distracted-driving crashes.
Systems built into cars and global positioning systems wouldn't be affected, nor would passengers. Phones could be used to call 911.
NTSB announced its recommendation during a hearing detailing its investigation into an August 2010 crash in Gray Summit, Mo., in which a 19-year-old pickup driver sent or received 11 text messages in 13 minutes before hitting the rear of a tractor-trailer. Two school buses collided with the stopped trucks; the pickup driver and one bus passenger were killed, and the truck driver and 37 other people were injured.
NTSB's recommendation would have to be adopted separately by each U.S. state since states have authority over driver behavior. States should adopt electronic-device bans and support the laws with aggressive enforcement like they have with seatbelt use and drunk driving, NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman said.
Fatal accidents caused by distracted operators have increased in all modes of transportation, including trucks, planes, trains, boats, buses and private cars and trucks, Hersman said. The use of phones and e-mail by operators is so prevalent that securing call records and the devices themselves is one of the first steps investigators now take after accidents, she said.
NTSB called for a total ban on mobile phones for truck and bus drivers in September. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) banned handheld cell phones for interstate truck and bus drivers last month and banned texting in January 2010. NTSB also recommended that FMCSA:
- Require all heavy commercial vehicles to be equipped with video event recorders that capture data in connection with the driver and the outside environment and roadway in the event of a crash or sudden deceleration event. The device should create recordings that are easily accessible for review when conducting efficiency testing and systemwide performance-monitoring programs;
- Require motor carriers to review and use video event recorder information in conjunction with other performance data to verify that driver actions are in accordance with company and regulatory rules and procedures essential to safety;
- Develop a comprehensive medical oversight program for interstate commercial drivers that contains the following program elements: the review process prevents, or identifies and corrects, the inappropriate issuance of medical certification; and
- Develop a comprehensive medical oversight program for interstate commercial drivers that contains the following program elements: mechanisms for reporting medical conditions to the medical certification and reviewing authority and for evaluating these conditions between medical certification exams are in place; and that individuals, health care providers and employers are aware of these mechanisms.
"Every fatality on our highways is a tragedy, but never more so than when the crash could so easily have been avoided," said Bill Graves, ATA president and chief executive officer. "The NTSB's investigation and report underscores the need for policymakers at the federal and state level to do more to prevent all drivers from texting while behind the wheel."
Graves said ATA supported new regulations, made effective in October 2010, that prohibit commercial drivers from texting, and encourages lawmakers to go a step further and prohibit passenger vehicle operators to do the same. ATA also supported FMCSA's ban on handheld cell phone use by truck drivers.
Graves said the NTSB report also exposes flaws in how federal regulators monitor the safety performance of commercial trucking fleets. Under FMCSA's safety monitoring and measurement system, Compliance Safety Accountability, the crash will be attributed to the involved trucking company's and driver's records and increase the carrier's likelihood of being selected for government intervention and scrutiny.

Best-Selling Author Charles C. Mann To Lecture at Amherst College Oct. 17
October 11, 2005
Director of Media Relations
Listen to an audio recording of this event below, or download it directly
AMHERST, Mass.—Journalist Charles C. Mann will talk about his new book, 1491: New Revelations of the Americas before Columbus, at 8 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 17, in the Pruyne Lecture Hall (Fayerweather 115) at Amherst College. Co-sponsored by the Amherst College Creative Writing Center and Department of Sociology, Mann's talk is free and open to the public.
Mann's current bestseller, 1491, offers a radical rethinking of the history of the Americas prior to the arrival of Christopher Columbus. The San Jose Mercury News describes the book as "part detective story, part epic and part tragedy," and Jan Dizard, Charles Hamilton Professor in American Culture at Amherst, calls it "an eye-opening book that requires us to rethink virtually every assumption we have had about the Western Hemisphere before the arrival of Europeans." A 1976 graduate of Amherst, Mann is a correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly, Science and Wired.

He was the invited lecturer at the Dipartimento di Psicologia, Universita di Bologna's 900th anniversary celebration in 1988. Hobson is the recipient of a 2004 Tom Slick Award in Consciousness.
Hobson is the author of several best-selling books based on his research, including The Dreaming Brain: How the Brain Creates Both the Sense and the Nonsense of Dreams (1989); The Chemistry of Conscious States: How the Brain Changed Its Mind (1994); Dreaming as Delirium: How the Brain Goes out of Its Mind (1994); The Dream Drugstore: Chemically Altered States of Consciousness (2001); Out of Its Mind: Psychiatry in Crisis: A Call for Reform (2001); Dreaming: An Introduction to the Science of Sleep (2004) and most recently, 13 Dreams Freud Never Had: A New Mind Science (2004).

A political science, black studies and Spanish major at Amherst, Altschuler plans to study for a M.Phil. degree in development studies at Oxford University, and then hopes "to contribute meaningfully to development rooted in the experiences, voices and the visions of marginalized communities around the world," a goal he is already well on his way to accomplishing.
Since graduation, Altschuler has been working in Chile on a Watson Fellowship, compiling an oral history of the transition from authoritarian to democratic rule in urban shantytowns, rural towns and indigenous communities. He has also worked with housing organizations in South Africa, where he founded Asifunde Bantwana ("Let's Read, Children"), an after-school literacy program for children at the Johannesburg Trust for the Homeless. Altschuler has also published papers and delivered lectures on development. Altschuler is currently working as a program associate at the Urban Homesteading Assistance Board in New York City. He is helping facilitate the conversion of six clusters of buildings in Harlem and the South Bronx to resident-owned and managed limited equity cooperatives.
A graduate of the Riverdale Country School, Altschuler is the son of Alan Altschuler and Donna K. Altschuler of New York. A member of Phi Beta Kappa at Amherst, Altschuler was awarded the Alpha Delta Phi Fund grant to organize a conference on socially responsible investing at the college. He also received first prize in the 2004 Frederick S. Lane Book Collecting Competition for his collection on Afro-Cuban religiosity. He received a W. MacLean Johnson '38 Fellowship (2001), Sylvia C. Hecht and Benedict L. and Babette H. Rosenberg Internship (2002), and the Hotchkiss/Patrick Internship (2003) for summer work in the non-profit and public service sectors. Altschuler was a member of three varsity teams while at Amherst; golf, tennis and soccer.
Altschuler is the sixth Amherst College student to receive a Rhodes Scholarship in the past 25 years. The most recent were Jordan Krall '01, named a Rhodes Scholar in 2001 and Vaughn Gray '00 in 2000.
Rhodes Scholarships, created in 1902 by the will of British philanthropist Cecil Rhodes, provide two or three years of study at Oxford University in England. Winners are selected on the basis of high academic achievement, personal integrity, leadership potential and physical vigor, among other attributes. This year's 32 Rhodes Scholars were selected by 16 districts with each District Committee selecting not more than two candidates who will represent the state or states within each District as Rhodes Scholars at Oxford. The Scholars were chosen from 903 applicants who were endorsed by 333 colleges and universities throughout the nation.
Founded in 1821, Amherst is a highly selective, coeducational liberal arts college with approximately 1,600 students from most of the 50 states and more than 30 other countries. Consistently ranked among the nation's best educational institutions, Amherst awards the B. A. degree in 33 fields of study.

Director of Media Relations
AMHERST, Mass.—Brown University professor Michael Putnam will speak on "Virgil and History" at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 16, in the Babbott Room of the Octagon at Amherst College. Putnam will discuss the relationship between history and epic, in particular the Aeneid. Sponsored by the Department of Classics and the Eastman Fund, this lecture is free and open to the public.
Putnam joined the Brown faculty in 1960 after teaching for a year at Smith College. He was Acting Director of the Center for Hellenic Studies 1961-62 and served as one of its Senior Fellows from 1971 to 1986. In 1963-64 he held a Rome Prize Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome where he was later a Resident and Mellon Professor in Charge of the Classical School (1989-91) and is now Trustee. He was elected a director of the American Philological Association in 1972 and has since served the Association as President (1982) and Financial Trustee (1997-2004). He received the Association's Charles J. Goodwin Award of Merit in 1971. In 1985 he was Townsend Professor at Cornell University and inaugurated the Townsend Lectures. For 1987-88 he was a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study and for 1994-95 a Visiting Scholar for Phi Beta Kappa. During the spring of 2004 he gave the Martin Classical Lectures at Oberlin College. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a Member of the American Philosophical Society.
Putnam's primary interest is in Latin literature and its influence, with a specialty in the poetry of Republican and Augustan Rome. His books include The Poetry of the Aeneid (1965); Virgil's Pastoral Art: Studies in the Eclogues (1970); Tibullus: A Commentary (1973); Virgil's Poem of the Earth (1979); Essays on Latin Lyric, Elegy, and Epic (1982); Artifices of Eternity: Horace's Fourth Book of Odes (1986); Virgil's Aeneid: Interpretation and Influence (1995); Virgil's Epic Designs: Ekphrasis in the Aeneid (1998); and Horace's Carmen Saeculare: Ritual Magic and the Poet's Art (2000). He has recently edited and translated Maffeo Vegio: Short Epics (2004). He has also edited several volumes and is the author of numerous articles and reviews.
At Brown, as well as chairing the Department of Classics for several periods, he is also a member of the Comparative Literature faculty as well as of the Committee on Renaissance and Early Modern Studies.

Amherst College Adopts Katrina-Ravaged D'Iberville Middle School
October 13, 2005
Director of Media Relations
AMHERST, Mass.—The Amherst College community will help rebuild the heavily damaged D'Iberville Middle School in Gulfport, Miss. Left under eight feet of water in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, D'Iberville was one of the most devastated schools in the Harrison County School District. Most D'Iberville students lost their homes, and a group of Amherst College students, with the support of the Office of Alumni and Parent Programs, the Office of the Dean of Students and faculty, selected the middle school through an adopt-a-school program at the Mississippi School Boards Association. "We all wanted to do something meaningful and immediate for the hurricane victims,'' said Emily Silberstein, a junior at Amherst and one of the organizers, "and adopting a school seemed like a way to focus on education, something everyone at Amherst cares about."
Amherst students are working to support the school in a variety of ways, from soliciting financial donations to holding half-time raffles during Homecoming and Family Weekend football games. Students are engaged in a wide variety of fundraising tactics, from a Louisiana Banquet to sales of work by Five College artists. Amherst students are encouraged to do anything to help-from giving up a day of meals in the dining hall to paying to have their picture taken with the Amherst mascot, Lord Jeff.
The D'Iberville relief effort has a Website.
Amherst College to Host Novelist Stephanie Grant at Amherst Books Nov. 2
October 13, 2005
Director of Media Relations
AMHERST, Mass.—Novelist Stephanie Grant will discuss her work at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 2, at Amherst Books (8 Main St., Amherst, Mass.). Sponsored by the Amherst College Creative Writing Center, this event is free and open to the public.
Grant, the author of two novels, currently serves as Writer-in-Residence at Mount Holyoke College. In 2002, she was nominated for the Lambda Award for Best Lesbian Fiction for her novel The Passion of Alice. The Los Angeles Times Book Review calls the novel, which details the lives of several patients at an eating disorder clinic, "a smart, funny, wonderful book." Grant's newest work, Map of Ireland, is a contemporary retelling of the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Provocative and original, the book places female sexuality and friendship at the center of foundational American myth.
The Amherst College Creative Writing Center organizes an annual reading series featuring both emerging and established authors. See the center's website for more information.

Nick Cannon Says 'American Idol' Can't Afford Mariah Carey
Money talks, and while Mariah Carey hasn't commented on the 'American Idol' rumors, her doting hubby sure has. Nick Cannon flat out said that Mimi doesn't come for cheap.
Money talks, and while Mariah Carey hasn't commented on the 'American Idol' rumors, her doting hubby sure has. Nick Cannon flat out said that Mimi doesn't come for cheap.
A source tells People magazine that Mariah Carey is in "serious" negotiations to join the judge's table on "American Idol".
Oops! Mariah Carey had an unusual wardrobe malfunction in Austria. While most clothing fails happen on the red carpet and involve the dreaded nip slip or a starlet going commando, the singer showed off the also-dreaded camel toe in a skintight, black and red jumpsuit that looked painted on during a performance at the Top of the Mountain concert in Austria.
When Joshua Ledet revealed that he would (bravely attempt to) sing Mariah Carey's version of 'Without You' on tonight's (March 28) episode of 'American Idol,' season advisor Jimmy Iovine immediately stated that it's one of the five hardest songs to sing in popular music. Yikes. Whatever the case, it was Ledet's selection since the Idols were allowed to perform songs by their personal idols. So, did Ledet make a mistake with his choice?
Mariah Carey is now going by a different name these days… especially if you're sitting on board the new Walt Disney cruise ship, Fantasy. The singing diva has been proclaimed the "Fairy Godmother" of the Fantasy when the unveiling of the breathtaking ship happened late last week (Friday, March 2).
Mariah Carey is one busy mama! The proud parent of Dem Babies is gearing up for her first performance since their birth at a private New York City concert. Only 50 tickets have been released to the public, but fret not, lambs! She's streaming her show online.
Mariah Carey, who looks as stunning as ever, appeared on 'Good Morning America' to talk about heart health month, Dem Babies, new music and of course, the loss of fellow diva Whitney Houston and her recently hospitalized husband Nick Cannon. Carey and Cannon had a serious scare when he went into mild kidney failure in January.
Mariah Carey's husband, Nick Cannon, announced Friday he'll be stepping down from his morning show on New York radio station 92.3 NOW FM.
While 'X Factor' fans will surely miss Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, their exits may be blessings in disguise. Rumor has it that Simon Cowell has his eye on two record setting pop divas to join his panel: Katy Perry and Mariah Carey!
Nick Cannon honored his devoted wife, Mariah Carey, at the BET Honors on Saturday night (Jan. 14). It was Cannon's his first appearance since being hospitalized for kidney failure — and he even brought "dem babies" along for the ride.
Nick Cannon, host of 'America's Got Talent' and husband of Mariah Carey as well as father of 'Dem Babies,' is recovering after suffering from mild kidney failure. The couple had been in Aspen, Colo. over the holidays and that's when Cannon became ill. He is currently in a Colorado facility.
It's another flap surrounding Justin Bieber, this time involving another Mariah.

The My Verizon Mobile app was updated in the last day or two. I only noticed because it now needs camera control permissions, which seems really bizarre and a bit spooky to me. But whatever, I can use xprivacy to stop that.
But after making a phone call, the app is also requesting root privileges from SuperSU! That seems terribly sketchy. I've frozen the app with Titanium Backup for now.
I'm not normally a paranoid guy, but this makes me awfully suspicious. Any ideas what's going on here?
There are numerous reviews on the Play store noting these things, and no explanation from Verizon. I have to wonder if they or Google were compromised by heartbleed, and if this could be something malicious.

Arsenal looks to Chilean forward Alexis Sánchez to spark the Gunners to the top of the form this season as they open versus Crystal Palace. Jose Mourinho's Chelsea squad returns looking to attain the Glory on the legs of the recently acquired Spaniard Diego Costa and longtime leader Didier Drogba this season as they begin the quest against Burnley.
Soccer analyst Sammy Sadovnik and former Mexican National Team player Manuel Sol will call all the matches.

Our Kind of People: Inside America's Black Upper Classby Lawrence Otis Graham
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Origins of the Black Upper Class
Bryant Gumbel is, but Bill Cosby isn't.
Lena Horne is, but Whitney Houston isn't.
Andrew Young is, but Jesse Jackson isn't.
And neither is Maya Angelou, Alice
Walker, Clarence Thomas, or Quincy Jones.
And even though both of them try extremely
hard, neither Diana Ross nor Robin Givens
will ever be.
All my life, for as long as I can remember, I grew up thinking that there existed only two types of black people: those who passed the "brown paper bag and ruler test" and those who didn't. Those who were members of the black elite. And those who weren't.
"You boys stay out of that terrible sun," Great-grandmother Porter would say in a kindly, overprotective tone. "God knows you're dark enough already."
As she sat rocking, stiff-lipped and humorless, on the porch of our Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard, summer home, she would gesture for us to move further and further into the shade while flipping disgustedly through the pages of Ebony magazine.
"Niggers, niggers, niggers," she'd say under her breath while staring at the oversized pages of text and photos of popular Negro politicians, entertainers, and sports figures who were busy making black news in 1968.
Great-grandmother Porter, the daughter of a minister and a homemaker, was extremely proud of her Memphis, Tennessee, middle-classroots. While still a child, she had worn silk taffeta dresses, had taken several years of piano lessons, and had managed to become fluent in French. Her only daughter had followed in her footsteps, wearing similarly elegant dresses, taking music lessons, and attending the private LeMoyne School a few years ahead of Roberta Church, the millionaire daughter of Robert Church, the richest black man in the South. She often reminded us that one of her sisters, Venie, then grown and married, had lived for years on Mississippi Boulevard next door to Maceo Walker, the most affluent and powerful black man in Memphis. Great-grandmother was proud of many things, such as being a Republican like the Churches and most other well-placed blacks in those early years. Like all blacks in racist southern towns in the early 1900s, she despised the insults, the substandard treatment, and the poor facilities that the Jim Crow laws had left for blacks. But like many blacks of her class, she was able to limit the interactions that she and her family had with such indignities. Rather than ride at the back of the bus and send her daughter to substandard segregated public schools, she and her husband bought a car and paid for private schooling. For my great-grandmother, life had been generous enough that she could create an environment that buffered her family against the bigotry she knew was just outside her door.
Even though it was 1968, a period of unrest for many blacks throughout the country, Great-grandmother — like the blue-veined crowd that she was proud to belong to — seemed, at times, to be totally divorced from the black anxiety and misery that we saw on the TV news and in the papers. In public andaround us children, her remarks often suggested that she was satisfied with the way things were. She often said she didn't think much of the civil rights movement ("I don't see anything civil about a bunch of nappy-headed Negroes screaming and marching around in the streets"), even though I later learned that she and her church friends often gave money to the NAACP, the Urban League, and other groups that fought segregation. She said she didn't think much of Marvin Gaye or Aretha Franklin or their loud Baptist music ("When are we going to get beyond all this low-class, Baptist, spiritual-sounding rock and roll music?"), even though she would sometimes attend Baptist services. She was proud when a black man finally won an Academy Award, but was disappointed that Sidney Poitier seemed so dark and wet with perspiration when he was interviewed after receiving the honor.
An outsider might have looked at this woman and wondered whether she liked blacks at all. Her views seemed so unforgiving. The fact was that she was completely dedicated to the members of her race, but she had a greater understanding of and appreciation for those blacks who shared her appearance and socioeconomic background.
Disappointed and disillusioned by how little she saw of herself and her crowd in the pages of Ebony magazine, Great-grandmother looked up and once again focused her attention on me and my brother.
And then she thought about her hair.
Stepping back inside the house for her ever-present Fuller brush and comb, she was, no doubt, frustrated by the fact that her great-grandchildren were several shades darker than she, with kinky hair that was clearly that of a Negro person.
My brother and I notedher disappearance into the house and thus once again ran out of the shade and danced around the sand- and pebble-covered road, breathing in the sunshine and the fragrance of the dense pine trees that rose from the layers of sand and brush.
"Young men — young men," her voice called from the rear bedroom, "you aren't back in that sun, are you?"
"No, ma'am. We're in the shade, ma'am," my eight-year-old brother, Richard, called back with complete conviction as he stopped just out of my great-grandmother's range of vision, thrusting his bare brown chest and oval face into the ninety-six-degree July sun, boldly willing his skin to grow blacker and blacker in defiance of her query.
Debutante cotillions. Million-dollar homes. Summers in Martha's Vineyard. Membership in the Links, Jack & Jill, Deltas, Boule, and AKAs. An obsession with the right schools, families, social clubs, and skin complexion. This is the world of the black upper class and the focus of the first book written about the black elite by a member of this hard-to-penetrate group.
Author and TV commentator Lawrence Otis Graham, one of the nation's most prominent spokesmen on race and class, spent six years interviewing the wealthiest black families in America. He includes historical photos of a people that made their first millions in the 1870s. Graham tells who's in and who's not in the group today with separate chapters on the elite in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Chicago, Detroit, Memphis, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Nashville, and New Orleans. A new Introduction explains the controversy that the book elicited from both the black and white communities.
About the Author
The author of fourteen books, including the New York Times bestseller Our Kind of People, and a contributing editor for Reader's Digest, Lawrence Otis Graham's work has also appeared in the New York Times, Essence, and The Best American Essays. He lives with his wife in Manhattan and Chappaqua, New York.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Barack Obama's State of the Union Address may be summed up by comparing the expressions on two faces, above: Vice President Joe Biden and Speaker John "Agent Orange" Boehner (R-OH). Here is the complete video, a link to the transcript, the video of the official Republican Response, and my own editorial commentary.
You can get the transcript here.
I can't say that I agreed with him across the board. I'm not convinced that he has sufficient protections for US workers built into the free trade agreement. I'm also not sure he has as good a handle on terrorism as he implied, and I think he still looking for a solution to stopping ISIL, the organization created through Republican incompetence. He didn't even mention domestic terrorism from the Republican base.
However, all things considered, the content was superb, and the delivery, even better. He drew a line in the sand for himself and the entire Democratic party going forward.
The official Republican Response, by Joni "Pig Nuts" Ernst (R-IA) was as bad as Obama's presentation was good.
Extreme Barf Bag Alert!! 30 Gal. Capacity (or more) Recommended!!
She had nothing to offer, but the same old, tired, debunked, trickle down, promises that were lies thirty years ago, delivered with a glassy-eyed stare and an irritating, nasal whine.
I am not including the "Tea Party" Republican Response or the "Idiot, Son of Idiot, Named after Idiot" Republican Response. A guy can only take so much punishment and survive.
In the aftermath, Republicans are claiming that Obama offered nothing with which they are willing to agree. That is probably true, because he did not offer unconditional surrender. They are also claiming that Obama is proposing to raise YOUR taxes. If that's is true, would YOU give me a few spare million, please?
In closing, I hope that Republicans are willing to negotiate in good faith on matters that will benefit the American people without exacerbating the inequality they have caused. I am all for it, but to be honest, I just don't think they have it in them to challenge either their greedy billionaires or their rabid base.

Scasagrande shared his USB isolator project, that is available at Github:
I received inspiration for the project from other USB isolator projects on the internet. Mine features a few improvements to many of them:
USB-B and micro-USB connectors on the host (upstream) side
In addition to accepting power via the barrel connector (which goes through a basic 7805 low dropout linear regulator), there is also a micro-USB port for device-side power. This allows you to use the now common cell phone charger cube to power your isolated device
Push-button switch for easy USB disconnection events
Bypass jumper for linear regulator, allowing for 5V power from the barrel connector

by Kalle Hyvönen:
I've been thinking about making a temperature logger for my room and my computer, I set on using DS18S20 sensors from Maxim because they're common, cheap and overally pretty ideal. My computer is so new that it does not have a serial port (not 100% sure, I think there might be a pinheader on the motherboard with serial port connections) so I have to use USB for interfacing. Next thing I had to do was to make an USB to 1-wire adapter so I could attach the sensors to my computer.
I browsed around for a while and set on using the DS2490 USB-to-1-wire adapter chip because the circuit for it looked pretty simple. I modded the component values a bit from the ones on the original schematic from Maxim to ones I had in hand. I used 0805 sized SMD components because I have those in store.

cpldcpu did a teardown of an external USB battery:
The device has a USB micro-b socket which is used as 5V input for charging, and a normal USB-A socket as 5V output. The output power can be turned off and on by a toggle button. There are LEDs to indicate active power out (blue) and charging (red) states. The pictures above show the innards of the device. Most space is taken up by an ICR18650 LiIon battery, which are relatively common devices with 2600mAH. In addition, there is a tiny tiny PCB. The rear side of the PCB is dominated by a 4.7µH inductor, which is part of the boost converter to convert the 3.7V of the battery to the 5V USB output.

TomKeddie shared his USB Isolator in dangerousprototypes's project log forum:
This is a nice simple soldering project that does exactly that, isolates your USB port from connected devices. There are two input usb connectors, one carries data and power from the computer the other supplies power to the output. The output comes from a 3rd USB A connector. There is no power/ground/data connection between the computer and connected devices other than through the isolator chip. This board has two grounds, two power supplies etc.

Frank Zhao shared his simple 6x USB charger with current monitor in the dangerousprototypes.com project log forum:
This is a simple 6 port USB device charger with a individual current monitor on each port. The charging current is indicated using RGB LEDs. Blue means slow charge (under 250mA), green means 250mA to 750mA, red means over 750mA, and purple means over 1500mA (for tablets). This circuit involves an ATmega328P (if you do hobby electronics, I bet you have plenty spares of these), INA169 (check out this breakout board), and a OKR-T10-W12.

Inside Out Review
June 19, 2015
"Inside Out," The latest offspring from the mind of Pete Docter, looks inside the head of an eleven-year-old girl and observes the nature of the emotions that drive her, as well as their changing relationships to her and to each other.
The film's setting, a young girl named Riley, is an essentially happy-go-lucky child, living a relatively bucolic life in Minnesota, when her world is abruptly upended by a move to San Francisco. Working frantically to try to keep her charge happy, Joy, along with the core memories that support different personality facets, manages to get flung far away from headquarters into the vast reaches of Riley's mind. Lost along with her is Sadness, a generally disregarded emotion, who has begun to be subject to strange and unnerving impulses that threaten to undo all of Joy's efforts.

Harambe Market - Review
June 11, 2015
Located in the Africa section of the park, Harambe Market mimics the atmosphere of an open-air marketplace and serves dishes that would be considered African street foods. My family and I recently tried some of the offerings and were pleased with what we sampled. And, when we found the perfect shaded table, we enjoyed the atmosphere of the market, too.
