This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: The GP-2106 is a small form factor GPS receiver with built-in antenna. Powered by the SiRF Star IV, the module can acquire satellites as low as -163dBm. It also has a hibernate mode which can go as low as 30uA while maintaining a hot start.
Note: This module runs at 1.8V VCC, however, you can use 3.3V TTL on the TX and RX pins. Also, the ON/OFF pin needs to be toggled high (to 1.8V) or low in order to turn on the module.
Note: This GPS Receiver does NOT include a connecting ribbon cable. This cable will need to be purchased separately.
ANy replacement advice for an as small unit (builtin antenna) with 1PPS output??
Does anyone know how to update the alamac or ephermis on these things? I've been having really, really, long cold start times. I have the SiRFDemo software and allows for uploads of said data (or at least the program can do it, whether the chip will accept it is a different story).
Usually phones with gps get a "QuickFix" update, they call it.
p.s. - I HATE the FFC connector. I swear I got a bend or kink at the end of the blue tape. If you are going to get one of these and need the ribbon, get a few of them….
How to get a reliable enable/disable working:
I wanna see this with the quarter!
How about getting some of these modules: GPS RADIONOVA SS3?
GPS RADIONOVA SS3 is a very small 18.4x9x2.3mm3 single package GPS receiver module suitable for SMT mounting. It operates on a single 3.6V positive bias supply with low power consumption and available low power modes for further power savings. SS3 is supported by SiRF's GPS software suite and uses a UART/SPI host processor interface.
The special offer SS3 GPS Receiver Modules are available direct from Antenova only.
They seem not as good as GP-2106 perhaps, but can't beat the price at $3! I wonder who they would sell to and in what quantities. Surely, us mere mortals can't buy them, but maybe sparkfun could?
I second this request!
does it have an antenna? sounds like it's just the IC, not the whole GPS module.
No idea - really hard to tell from the article. From the size, I would guess probably not. But they do say 'complete module' (though that does sometimes mean front end RF (+LNA?), but no antenna). Surely more info or even a datasheet will surface soon enough…
If it doesn't have an antenna and is just the IC part of it, yeah, it's gonna be cheap and the two really aren't directly comparable.
Well look at your Venus GPS chip.
Of course.
Just finished assembling one for a cat tracker and went outside for a test drive (without a cat). All the leds were flashing and i was hopeful. Dont know what went wrong, got the config file on the sd card plus many log text files. two contains data but only with incompressible caracters like asian ones.
The net weight of GP-2106 is 3.01g.
I ordered the last ten scrap boards from the ding and dent category, and they say GP 2106 on the bottom…… So a breakout can't be too far off….
Looks like the GPS-logging cat collar can finally be a reality!
If you work on that cat collar post pix or links! I'd like to use this for animal monitoring as well but on sea otter flippers around the Monterey bay. We're working with Fish and Wildlife Services to make solar powered Zigbee flipper tags and this guy would be gold if he worked out.
I'm looking to use this in a small high-altitude balloon project and I'm wondering if the the velocity/altitude restrictions are triggered via AND or OR. If this module is an OR type on the restriction does anybody know of another small module that would work for me?
Can this module output physical orientation data like tilt, roll or heading?
What is the interfacing options for this ?
Is it compatible with UNO or MEGA ?
This module uses a 1.8V serial UART interface. If you want to use this board with UNO or Mega, you will need to level shift the serial lines using the evaluation board.
Does this come with connector cable?
This is the only GPS module I have ever used. Yes, it's very small. That aspect I like very much. I couldn't manage to get any pseudorange data from it and I couldn't manage to preload the module with an approximate position,ephemeris and almanac data. I haven't really figured out how to use warm and hot starts at present but can send it into hibernate mode using around 150µW for the gps module and the rest of my board (buck, mpu, etc).
here is a picture of the board I made for this module GpsBoardPic
I would recommend this gps module to others.
Remember though that soldering a connector onto a board for this module is fairly delicate.
Can someone who has this and used it please give some feedback as to how well it works.
hello seulater, I have used this as external GPS for my android phone, In open sky conditions makes fix around 20 seconds, average accuracy between 1.5 to 2.5 m,
however not impressive indoor conditions though it fixes around 1 to 3 minutes.
Question: Is there any way to remove on/off button/interface. Right now, to start module I have to press that button on GP-2106. Is there any work around ? THANKS.
Answer: Customers should use its own GPIO to control the On/Off. Then they don't need the button.
Has anyone written an Arduino library for this part? I have integrated this part into the design of the http://ArduMotion.com board and am looking for some sample code to use to test… Thanks in advance
The code should be the same as pretty much any GPS module. Check our tutorials for code on how to read in GPS data. It's not going to differ much at all between various GPS modules.
Thanks Robert, I have already downloaded the TinyGPS library which is NMEA 0183 compatible but am looking for how to turn this module on and off using the ON/OFF pin. The .pdf document indicates:
ON/OFF Input pulse is required to start the system, and switch the operation mode to full-power mode or Hibernate mode.
But they don't specify the pulse duration, on-off-on, or off-on-off and the duration of each state to active ON, OFF, and STANDBY (Hibernate) function. Can anyone contact the engineers and find out the details?
Ah, I get it. The datasheet doesn't specify what it wants? our breakout just has a simple SMD button. you could probably test different methods of driving it high, delay, then low and see what works if it's not directly specified in the datasheet.
my guess is that it's just an on-off and off-on when you press it. it waits for a signal, changes the state, and then waits for another signal to turn off again.
Has anyone successfully linked one of these to a micro SD logger like OpenLog and a battery?
This is perfect for my robot project!
I am new to prototyping, and deciding whether to use an XBee or GPS in my design. If I go XBee, I need two of them, one to act as a transmitter and one as a receiver.
If I use this, or any GPS unit, what would be my receiver? Thank you.
About GPS, the GPS unit is the receiver, and satellites are the transmitter. GPS unit only receives the signal from satellites (and does no transmitting at all) and calculates current position from them.
If you need to access the location of your GPS unit from distance, you need some kind of communication. It can be done using two XBee units, one of them receives location information from connected GPS unit, and sends it to another XBee unit over the air.
Will there be a breakout for this gps? How do you get 1.8v from Arduino?
In the works…
I would like to purchase this module and connect my own GPS antenna and Low Noise Amplifier to the receiver.
Are there any schematics available so that I can bypass the built-in antenna and LNA?
Why doesn't Sparkfun have a SiRF IV receiver without the built-in antenna?
The datasheet specifies:
PPS (TIMEMARK) This pin provides one pulse-per-second output from the board, which is synchronized to GPS time. Need firmware supporting. If don't used, can open. Note: At present PPS function has not opened.
It's not clear to me if this means that the PPS output isn't presently supported by the firmware, or if it means the PPS isn't enabled when the device is powered on, and needs to be enabled.
Anyone have the module and can confirm actual status?
(And does anyone know how to enable it, if possible? If it's possible, I'm guessing a NMEA config line?)
I have one running right now and the PPS is working fine and dandy. I think I got it from stock a few weeks ago.
Manuf was nice enough to forward my question to an engineer, which kindly responded:
Our GP-2106 will have 1PPS signal while GPS get fixed.
So looks good, and looks like this module should be a good choice for NTP time sync.

Any specs on the weight? Looks like this could be great for those blimp or quad-copter projects where each gram makes a difference.
any specs on the connector? looks like a FFC ribbon but what is the pitch?
what a cute (and capable!) little GPS module =)
It appears that the connector is a HiRose FH34SRJ-6S-0.5SH(50) which is a "FPC" connector. See data sheet section 1.5 and 1.7.
A breakout board would require a "FPC" cable or require a replacement of the connector which might be possible with steady hands.
Looks as if it would be possible to solder your own wires to the 6 pads next to the connector…
Does anyone know what kind of software load it has? It normally is output to the port when it starts up. Some versions allow raw measurement output which can be very helpful for advanced projects that want to integrate GPS with other sensors.
The datasheet does not say anything about hardware integration… This kind of modules often have requirements on placement near ground planes or switching logic. For example, the Fastrax UC-430 is also tiny but needs much broader board to work. Another module I know of, the OriginGps ORG14xx, is only 15x15mm and still needs 6mm clearance around and 1.6mm below. Beware of small GPS modules.. their antennas still need ground planes.
This is very good, though the update rate is a bit low. Have been wanting a smalller module…
Looks like it would not take much to rig up a .1 header given the gold pads next to the connector. Just epoxy a 0.1 header on top of the current connector and use some "wire wrap" wire to make the connections.
Something like this ([-] is plastic part of header to epoxy.)
When a breakout board is created, will it have voltage regulation/logic level translation?
Excellent work spark fun. I would love to track corp laptops, but there is just no space inside a modern laptop for this kind of stuff. This should help go a long way to finding that solution.
One of these and a data logger TaDa! shows where its been! ( until the memory fills)
Based on 1 ratings:
It works as advertised and was easy to design in and use. One thing I wish it had was a 1 mm pin connector instead of the FFC connector. I had to remove the FFC connector and add the pin connector by hand to make it work on the small board I made. The other thing is that the power control is poorly documented. BTW, If you are a Premium member of Geocaching, check out GC3QQMM which uses this module. My current project is a car clock that is always accurate and automatically detects the current time zone and adjusts to it (well, at least for North America).

Earlier Tuesday, I joined Gary Goldberg Financial Services' "Money Matters" radio show to discuss the fact that consumers can still make 2012 individual retirement account contributions through April 15, 2013. An edited transcript and audio file appear below.
Gary: Some people want to beat the deadline for funding their 2012 IRA. Let's talk about that: What is the deadline to fund the 2012 IRA. Is it April 15?
Greg: It is. It's coming up quick, it's Monday. I think one of the things that bears pointing out here, Gary, is that, for so many other things, on Dec. 31, the door slams shut. You don't get a chance to make retirement contributions for your 401(k) beyond Dec. 31 for a given year. With an IRA, you get an extra window of time -- you actually get up until April 15. So it's the one area of retirement planning where you have the ability to still make last year's contribution.
Gary: Here's where a lot of people get confused: They think that if they're covered by a 401(k) plan, they cannot make a contribution into an IRA. You and I both know that is not true, but the type of IRA contribution they make if they're covered by a 401(k) plan is a bit different. Explain that.
Greg: The nuance of whether or not you're covered by an employer retirement plan affects your IRA is whether or not you can deduct that contribution from your taxes. It should not dissuade you from making an IRA contribution regardless of whether or not you can deduct it. It's just sound retirement planning. It's not an either/or between the 401(k) and the IRA; you have to have both. Fund both to the extent you possibly can. Whether or not that's deductible depends upon a couple of factors. One is whether or not you're covered by a plan at work. And second, based upon your income, that deductibility does phase out at higher levels of income.
Gary: So, let's talk about the advantage or disadvantage of funding a nondeductible IRA. Why would somebody fund a nondeductible IRA if they can't get the tax deduction? Would they not be better off putting the money into a Roth IRA, which grows tax-free?
Greg: I like doing the Roth IRA. You're not going to be able to deduct that now. The thing about the Roth is that your ability to contribute directly to a Roth is limited by income. However, you can do what's known as the "backdoor Roth," which is: Contribute to a nondeductible IRA and then immediately convert that to a Roth. So it's kind of like changing planes in Atlanta. You can't go directly from here to there, but you can still get to that desired Roth status even if your income is too high to contribute directly to it.
Gary: So if you contribute money into a nondeductible IRA, is there an income limitation?
Greg: No, there's not. Regardless of whether or not you're covered by a plan at work or your income is high, I still think it's important to contribute to an IRA. Even doing so on a nondeductible basis is still advantageous because you can then convert that to a Roth -- and now you've accumulated a pot of money that is free from future taxation and is not subject to minimum required distributions at age 70 ½. So it's another pot of money you can accumulate for those later years, the 80s and 90s, or to pass on to your heirs.

Jeff made the swing of recycled native cypress from a local source. Instead of pavement, he and Christina specified a mulched parking area, yet another area for rainwater to be absorbed, thereby reducing runoff. The sitting area in the natural garden has a fire pit made of an old truck wheel (pictured).
Try some of these ideas to keep your yard looking beautiful all year long. You'll save time and use less water.

Chuck Boyett, city engineer, said the two paving and striping projects would cost $91,960 to complete. South Castle Heights Avenue and Winwood Drive had significant work done in 2010, and with the work complete, the city is able to smooth those stretches of road. "We did a waterline upgrade on those three areas and we didn't have the funds at the time to complete the paving," Boyett said Wednesday.
The third area the city is looking to add to the list is the Oak Hill Drive subdivision, which also had waterline repair work done beneath the street last year. Boyett said during Tuesday afternoon's work session they'll look into adding it to the list on Wednesday.
Jeff Baines, commissioner of Public Works, said Tuesday afternoon the city had $300,000 set aside in the current budget for paving, which they hadn't had in previous years due to the lack of funds.
The Castle Heights Avenue work would cost $15,420 while the Winwood Drive repaving would cost $76,540. Boyett said the construction company that repaired the waterlines still has to do some finish work before the city can begin paving the streets.
The city is under contract with LoJac to complete the paving projects, which will also include striping on Coles Ferry Pike, specifically on the curve in front of the Lebanon Country Club. Boyett said that striping project would cost about $6,500 for a total of $98,460.
"I'm hoping that within a month we can get this done," Boyett said about the paving.
Also during the work session, Boyett informed the council of federal funds that would allow them to repave and stripe South Hartmann Drive from Interstate 40 to West Main Street, as well as put up street lights on the same stretch.
While the city would have to spend the money up front, Boyett pointed out the money is reimbursable and the city will get back 100 percent of their costs for the project. The total amounts to $770,000 and the paving would take at least three years to get underway. The lighting however, Boyett said could begin to go up within the year.
Boyett said there are a number of hoops they have to jump through and requirements that make the process very tedious to receive the federal reimbursement money, which is why paving can't begin for some time.
"You have to play by their rules. We don't like them any more than you do," Boyett told the council members. Several members of the council agreed to do the project, especially the lighting portion, as long as it was done quickly. Boyett did point out they can't begin work until July 1 when the next fiscal year begins.
"I'll agree to this as long as you expedite the lighting," Ward 1 Councilor Alex Buhler said.
While the council was on the topic of paving and street work during the work session, Ward 2 Councilor Kevin Huddleston and Buhler were concerned about the new schools being built on South Hartmann Drive and Leeville Pike and what the city would do about sidewalks in those areas.
Winfree-Bryant Middle School, located on Leeville Pike, and the new Lebanon High School on South Hartmann Drive, have no plans for sidewalks along those streets. However, Will Hagar, Lebanon planning director, pointed out the schools don't have much street frontage for sidewalks and avoid the requirement as a result.
He said Lebanon High School does have a plan for a sidewalk along Blue Devil Drive, the access street from South Hartmann Drive onto the school campus. For various reasons, Hagar said a bike lane was included along the access to Winfree-Bryant instead of a sidewalk.
"Go ahead and see what it's going to cost to get it done because we're going to have to do it," Huddleston said about putting sidewalks along Leeville Pike and South Hartmann Drive.
He said the sidewalks should be finished before the schools open for the 2012 school year. Buhler also noted a crossing guard and crosswalks would be needed as well to keep children safe if they were walking to school.
During the council's regular scheduled meeting Tuesday night, the focus was flooding and storm water run-off, which has factored into several council decisions since the May 2010 floods.
The council defeated an ordinance to change the zoning of 17.45 acres on the southeast corner of Hickory Ridge Road and South Hartmann Drive from agriculture to highway business.
During the council's Jan. 18 meeting, the same ordinance was deferred due to flooding concerns, and Lebanon Mayor Philip Craighead said he would not put the ordinance back on the agenda until all council members were present.
With all members present, they expressed concern about what the rezoning and possible development of the land could mean to homeowners on the other side of Barton's Creek.
"I don't see how in the world they're going to keep from putting more water in the creek," Ward 5 Councilor Haywood Barry said.
Barry visited the site after a recent heavy rain and said he reconsidered his vote from the last time the ordinance was on the agenda. Barry previously voted in favor of the rezoning, but after seeing a large pond of water on the property after the rain, he decided to change.
Members of the council were worried about developers filling in the land to raise its elevation, causing serious run-off that could flood homes across Barton's Creek. Craighead pointed out the land that would be developed is along the road and won't affect those homes.
"The part that they have the approval to fill, it won't affect those people," Craighead said.
Baines said a developer cannot fill in the entire tract of land, and during the Jan. 18 meeting pointed out that parts of the property in the floodplain can't be changed due to federal regulations.
Buhler and Ward 6 Councilor Kathy Warmath said no one can guarantee the homes won't be flooded as a result of development and it wasn't a risk they were willing to take.
The ordinance failed 4-2 with only Ward 3 Councilor Rob Cesternino and Ward 4 Councilor Joe Hayes voting yes. Craighead expressed his disappointment with the decision, saying "I still feel like you're doing an injustice there."
The council unanimously approved three ordinances related to Hamilton Springs, Middle Tennessee's first transit-oriented development that would be centered on the Music City Star route in Lebanon.
The 221 acres of land owned by Jack Bell was rezoned to the Hamilton Springs Specific Plan and 60 acres were annexed into the city limits along Old Horn Springs Road and the Nashville & Eastern Railroad and a Plan of Services was also approved for the property.

PREMIER Ted Baillieu's department has set up a special team to help slash 3600 jobs from the public service.
Department of Premier and Cabinet secretary Helen Silver late last month sent an email to staff saying the new team would spend the next three months working on the department's ''sustainable government'' initiatives - a term seen as a euphemism for job losses.
It follows a government decision late last year to cut about 10 per cent of staff from government departments to keep the budget in surplus, amid concern that the public sector has been expanding at a pace far outstripping Victoria's population growth.
The government has promised the cuts will not affect ''front-line services'', but Labor yesterday used the first day of the parliamentary year to intensify the attack, accusing the government of being in a state of confusion over what services would be affected by the cutbacks.
Mr Baillieu said the number of public servants had been growing at an unsustainable annual rate of 5.3 per cent over the four years to 2010, compared to population growth of 2 per cent.
''These are prudent steps, they are responsible steps,'' he said.
The Department of Treasury and Finance, which has overarching responsibility for the cuts, has confirmed there will be ''no impact'' on teachers, police, nurses and child protection workers, saying reductions in the number of contractors and consultants across government would also form a key part of the strategy.
But government ministers yesterday would not confirm in Parliament whether public sector workers such as court reporters and school support services offices, such as speech pathologists and social workers, would be exempt from the job losses.
A spokesman for Attorney-General Robert Clark said court support roles such as registry staff, associates and judicial secretaries would not be affected to ensure the efficient operation of the courts, while other court roles ''will be progressively determined on a case-by-case basis''.
A spokesman for the Department of Premier and Cabinet said the new team was ''part of a normal business planning cycle undertaken by the department''.

Allen & Overy (A&O) has radically revamped its partner appraisal system in a bid to ensure reviews are conducted consistently across all practice groups and regions.
The new system, which is being utilised for the first time this month, is set out in a document seen by The Lawyer entitled 'Framework for Measuring Partner Performance'. It comprises five key elements: clients, practice and financial performance, knowledge, people and partnership.
Commenting on the move, A&O managing partner David Morley said: "[Partner] reviews were done on an ad hoc basis and weren't carried out at the same time. We now have a clear framework against which performance can be measured, so it's done to a minimum common standard across the world."
The magic circle firm has also moved away from relying on individual billing information as a measure of partner performance to overall group profitability.
"Historically, there was quite a lot of emphasis on individual partner billings, as it's easy to measure and tangible. But there are lots of things it doesn't tell you – it's like flying an aeroplane and just looking at one dial," explained Morley.
However, A&O partners have conflicting views as to what role individual partner billings should play in the partner review process. Some believe that individual billing information is essential, while others think it is unnecessarily divisive.
In direct response to the lack of consensus on the use of individual billings, the firm will set up a group to review the issue, which will report to the partners. The group will be formed either later this month or in October.

For such a modest and relatively benign policy, the Conservatives' announcement of a transferable tax allowance for married (or civilly partnered) couples has attracted an extraordinary amount of vitriol. On the one hand, the measure is condemned as ineffectual - "derisory" in Vince Cable's words - while on the other it is portrayed as a return to the moral authoritarianism of the 1950s. Anyone would think they had advocated fining divorcees or even (as Gordon Brown did at his party conference last year) confining single mothers to "a network of supervised homes."
Among other absurdities, we had Deborah McIlveen of Women's Aid claiming that the proposal would penalise victims of domestic violence who wished to escape. Kate Bell from Gingerbread characterised it as an attack on single parents, as though the evil Tories wanted to take money away from needy children. Nick Clegg called it "patronising drivel". Ed Balls managed to make both criticisms, in one breath damning it both as "gesture politics" and "deeply unfair." But if it's just a gesture, how can it be deeply unfair?
Yesterday's Times leader column asserted that recognising marriage in the tax system "is not a good idea" on the grounds that "It should be no concern of the State to make judgments on the lives of couples who choose not to marry or people who wish to be solitary." That begs a number of questions, not least whether giving a small advantage to some married couples (the lower-paid will benefit most) disadvantages unmarried ones. If paying £12 a week less in income tax is so important to them, they will have an obvious solution: get married. It's unlikely many will get married solely on that basis, though. In that sense it obviously is gesture politics; but it's a nice gesture - a small token of appreciation rather than the usual one-fingered salute.
But it's the other point I wish to concentrate on here, the alleged "making judgements". The idea that people's personal relationships are or should be a no-go area for the state is strange coming from politicians and columnists who otherwise have supported ever greater and more intrusive state intervention. The very people who think it is the business of government to penalise drinkers and over-eaters, who support "awareness campaigns" and expensive advertising in support of, for example, the highly dubious propositions that pregnant women should avoid so much as a sniff of wine or that eating a government-endorsed quota of fruit and veg wards off cancer, come over all non-interventionist and libertarian when it comes to marriage. They'd rather set fire to an effigy of an overweight child.
People happy to enforce mad schemes to ban traditional lightbulbs on the spurious grounds that this will somehow offset the vast and growing carbon emissions of India and China are alarmed by the suggestion that the government should have an opinion on what is the best environment in which to bring up children, even if all that is on offer is a modest "reward" for the married rather than a penalty for the unwed. It's all very peculiar.
No doubt they would say that "lifestyle" campaigns are not simply for individuals' benefit, because the costs of obesity, alcoholism, smoking-related cancer, death on the road, landfill, carbon emissions, etc etc etc are borne by the state - in other words, paid for out of taxes. Yet this argument ought to apply, a fortiori, to marriage. As the recent report from New Labourish Demos demonstrated to no-one's real surprise, on average and in general children whose parents are and remain married are healthier, do better in school, are less prone to criminality and drug-taking, have better employment histories, are less dependent on welfare benefits and form stronger relationships in their turn. This is not simply good for individuals, it benefits society and in doing so saves the taxpayer money. Huge amounts of cash are annually expended on treating the victims of social breakdown, whether through social services, the NHS, the criminal justice system or out-of-work benefits. Encouraging marriage ought to be a no-brainer for any government, not on moralistic grounds but on the grounds of cold hard cash.
The real criticism of the Tories' policy is not that it unfairly penalises the unmarried (because it doesn't) but that it is too modest really to make a difference. It is gesture politics at its most gestural. Vince Cable was of course right when he said that people wouldn't get married because the government was offering a tax break worth not much more than ten pounds a week. The logic of the previous paragraph is that the government ought to adopt a far more punitive approach towards lifestyles which are costly to the taxpayer. Nor do the arguments that favour marriage as the best environment for raising children apply to gay relationships which do not envisage procreation - though there are, of course, gay households with dependent children and heterosexual households with none.
However, considered in less mathematical terms, what the Conservatives are really proposing to do is to "send a message" about the importance of marriage. The paradox, of course, is that many (perhaps most) of those who display a visceral hatred of anything that smacks, however obscurely, as state support for marriage are themselves married (Mr and Mrs Ed Balls, for example). And as we've seen, they aren't the type normally to oppose intrusive message-sending (or worse) by the state when it comes to matters of lifestyle choice.
Two possibilities. One is that the idea somehow threatens the modern romanticisation of the married state. Now that marriage is neither socially enforced nor economically essential, and premarital cohabitation is the norm, the act of getting married has come to seem more like a grand statement of love than as entry into an institution. The prevalence of divorce strengthens the idea that marriage is mainly about personal convenience and fulfilment and certainly not about promoting the good of society as a whole. How dare the government besmirch the purity of our love by making it - however obscurely - financially advantageous to tie the knot.
I also wonder if some of these left-wing progressives, used to think of themselves as being in the avant-garde of social and political change, aren't rather embarrassed at being reminded just how conventional their own lifestyle choices are.

As part of its efforts to emerge from bankruptcy and clean up its corporate image, telecommunication company MCI has named five new members to its board of directors.
The appointments, which will take effect when the company emerges from Chapter 11 protection, will bring the number of board members to nine. All of the members of the previous board of MCI (still legally known as WorldCom Inc.) resigned after the company admitted to accounting fraud and filed for bankruptcy court protection in July of 2002.
The new board members are David Matlin, chief executive of MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC, a major investor in MCI; W. Grant Gregory, formerly chairman at Touche Ross (a predecessor of Deloitte & Touche LLP); former Bell Atlantic Corp. (now Verizon Communications Inc.) executive Judith Haberkorn; Patton Boggs LLP partner Laurence Harris, and former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder, the company said in a statement Friday.
he new board appointments will become effective on the day the Ashburn, Virginia, company formally emerges from Chapter 11 protection, after which the first act of the board will be to appoint a new chairman, MCI said. On Sept. 8 the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York is scheduled to begin a hearing on MCI's eligibility to be released from bankruptcy. Up to three additional board members are also expected to be appointed before the company is released from bankruptcy, MCI said.
The company's current board members are: Michael Capellas, MCI's current chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) who will relinquish the title of chairman under the new board structure; former Financial Accounting Standards Board Chairman Dennis Beresford, former U.S. Attorney General and Undersecretary of State Nicholas Katzenbach, and former Equifax Inc. Chairman and CEO C.B. "Jack" Rogers, MCI said.

Several local events are planned in connection with today's 62nd National Day of Prayer.
The theme of the nationwide observance, held annually on the first Thursday in May, is "Pray for America."
Local pastors, led by Praise Fellowship pastor Dan Galanffy, began organizing National Day of Prayer events several weeks ago. About 20 events are scheduled today in the Killeen-Fort Hood area, he said.
In Killeen, a noon prayer program is scheduled at Killeen City Hall, in the council chambers. A free lunch will follow.
At Fort Hood, the Spirit of Fort Hood Chapel will have a prayer event from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. today.
In addition, the chapels of both Metroplex Hospital in Killeen and Seton Medical Center Harker Heights will be open all day for those wanting to offer prayers.
The day's observances will culminate with a regional program at the Bell County Expo Center in Belton, beginning at 7 p.m.
The National Day of Prayer was enacted by Congress in 1952 and signed into law by President Harry Truman.
More than 2 million people are expected to attend some 50,000 prayer events nationwide, and hundreds are expected to participate locally, Galanffy said. For a list of events, go to kdhnews.com.

A South Carolina man, alerted to a fiery car crash near his home, was horrified to learn that his two-teenage daughters were in the car. Worse, WLTX reports, he could only save one of them.
The crash occurred last Friday after 14-year-old Shayla Andrews, a trumpet player, and her 17-year-old sister, Joye, performed at halftime in the in the Saluda HIgh School band.
The girls were driving to their home in Saluda, S.C., in their dad's car.
Not long after, says Earnest Andrews, the father, a neighbor knocked on his door to say there had been a car accident just a few feet away from the front door.
"I just took off running, cause the car was already in flames," the distraught father tells WLTX reporter Nate Stewart. " I was just in panic, I ran."
What he heard next, he'll never be able to forget, WLTX reports.
"I hear my baby calling, 'Daddy Daddy!' I had to go in there and get her," Earnest says. "All I see what fire, and I know that was my car and my babies were in there. Both of my babies were in there. The only thing I know is I've got to try and get them out."
With the car in flames, he pulled Shayla to safety.
And when he went back to get Joye, "That's when the car exploded again," he said.
Shayla says that when she woke up, she immediately called for her sister.
"They told me that she didn't make it," Shayla said. "She was just the nicest person. She had a crazy laugh. Her laugh would brighten up anybody's day and she had the biggest smile. She was my best friend. She kept my out of trouble."
It is not the only tragedy the Andrews family has faced, WLTX reports. In 2011, a third sister died in a car accident in Florida.
"I wish somebody would hit me and wake me up," Earnest said. "But it's for real. It's for real."
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

Chennai: The first phase single window counseling for admission to engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu, which drew to a close on Monday, is sure to dishearten the manufacturing and infrastructure industries.
Nearly 80 percent of over 15,000 aspirants who had chosen a seat at the four counseling centers in the State have dumped the core engineering branches-Mechanical, Civil and Chemical-in favour of the lucreative circuit branches – Electronics and Communication, Information Technology, Computer Science and Engineering, and Electrical and Electronics.
The unhealthy pattern has emerged since the revival of the Information Technology industry in 2003-04 when head-hunters began picking up freshers, offering fancy pay packets.
As students are not inclined to give core technical courses a try, barring government colleges and a few reputed self-financing institutions, core engineering seats have few or no takers in around 200 colleges. Academics warn that this short-sighted approach will not fetch students returns in the long run.
"It will be sensible for students to move away from the past mindset. By the time this batch comes out of colleges they will find that core engineers will be in high demand," pointed out M Anandakrishnan, eminent academic and former vice-chancellor of Anna University. It is easier to convert a mechanical engineer into a computer engineer but not vice versa.
"The problem is that the students are not informed of the opportunities in core engineering branches which are equally challenging. With the manufacturing sector growing at the rate of 10 to 11 percent, the industry requirement for mechanical engineers is going to be high. Since our infrastructure is one of the worst, we will need a lot of civil engineers," observed Prof V G Idichandy, Dean (Students), Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.
"Everyone is looking at short-term benefits and not the future. This mad rush for circuit branches is unjustified," Prof Idichandy said. In future, companies would look for people with knowledge in core domains and ability to apply IT in their fields, according to Anandakrishnan.
"The economy of future India is going to be largely governed by core engineering domains. The other trend that is emerging is that outsourcing in the IT industry is now expanding to automobile designing and other core areas. Therefore, simple software programming skills alone will not suffice," he explained.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I can't believe it! It seems like just yesterday we were enjoying hamburgers, hot dogs and lemonade on the Fourth of July.
What are you Thanksgiving plans this year? This year it's just me, my husband and our two children. Usually we end up eating so much before dinner that come dinner time we're not hungry.
I like to set out a spread around lunch time (late morning) with fresh fruit, raw veggies, dip, crackers, cheese, chips, dips and cookies. Most of the time we fill up on that so when it comes time to eat we are not that hungry. I COULD reduce the stuff we put out for lunch, but I know that is the highlight of my kid's holiday (they look forward to that more so than the dinner) so I don't want to break with tradition.
I know a lot of people like to make a lot of dishes they serve on Thanksgiving from scratch, do you?
Homemade stuffing is always delicious. I love homemade stuffing more than boxed (pre-made) stuffing because you can do so much to it by using different breads and adding different ingredients.
Instead of using regular white bread why not switch it up this year and use a bread that is better for you? For example, try making your stuffing with 100% Whole Wheat, Sourdough, Premium Potato or Double Protein bread? Arnold (also known as Oroweat or Brownberry depending on where you live) offers a large assortment of better for you breads that you could use to make stuffing. Not only can you jazz u the taste a bit but you can also offer guests an extra dose of fiber, protein and/or whole grains.
I have to admit that I usually get pre-made stuffing, but I like the idea of trying a different kind of bread (or maybe more than one kind) and making homemade stuffing this year.
You could also serve any of the Arnold breads warmed. Put a loaf in the over for a few minutes to warm it up and serve it with fresh butter. Yummy!
One of the best things about Thanksgiving is the left overs (which we usually have A LOT of). The idea of left over turkey and some cranberry sauce on a couple of slices of Oatnut bread makes my mouth water! I CANNOT wait for Thanksgiving!
Not only will I be getting protein from the turkey but I'll also be getting much needed whole grains and fiber.
Just because it's Thanksgiving and it's all about eating and spending quality time with family and friends, it doesn't mean that you can't make better for you choices. I'm sure there are any recipes that you make where you can swap out an unhealthy ingredient for something that is better for you.
I challenge you to think about what recipes you will be making this Thanksgiving and find ways to make them "better for you", even if it means swapping out an ingredient or two. 🙂
Speaking of "better for you", I have another tip for you from Alison Sweeney.
If you read my blog on a regular basis you might recall that I've been working with Arnold/Oroweat/Brownberry on their Feed Your Better campaign. The campaign spokesperson, Alison Sweeney, has bee sharing tips with consumers on how they can feed their better.
Here is tip #4:
Prepare and plan. It's easy to skip a workout or opt for an unhealthy meal when you're unprepared or in a crunch. Sandwiches made on Arnold®/Brownberry®/Oroweat® whole grain breads are a perfect on-the-go option that never gets boring, and allows you to create something different every day. Or, cut up your favorite fruits and vegetables at night so the next morning, you can grab a snack that holds you accountable to healthy habits and keeps you on-track – no excuses!
I think this tip works perfectly with the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. If you prepare and plan for the day you can ensure that you don't over eat or over indulge, which will only leave you feeling guilty and mad at yourself.
Just because it's Thanksgiving doesn't mean that you have to skip your normal work out. Using different Arnold/Oreweat/Brownberry breads in your recipes or with your sandwiches will make sure that you don't get bored eating the same old thing each day. If you tend to have A LOT of turkey leftovers I'm sure you'll want different ways to enjoy it.
There are plenty of ways you can Feed Your Better. There is also time to enter the Arnold/Oroweat/Brownberry "Feed Your Better" contest (it ends on November 11, 2013).
Arnold®/Brownberry®/Oroweat® Bread and Allison Sweeney would like for you to share your stories and goals on how you plan on (or are currently) "Feeding Your Better" through their Feed Your Better campaign.
From now until November 11, 2013 you are encouraged to share your stories. Allison be on the judging panel to help judge the submissions. There are $100,000 in prizes to be won! The winners will be awarded monetary prizes to help them to achieve their personal goals.
- Three (3) winners will win $20,000
- Runners-up will receive $5,000
- 100 additional winners will receive $100
What are YOUR personal goals? How would you want to "Feed Your Better"? Make sure to enter the Feed Your Better sweepstakes so you have a chance to win amazing prizes to help you to fund whatever you feel will help make your life better. For more information visit www.FeedYourBetter.com.
I think winning $20,000 would be a great way to start off the new year (even $5,000 would be nice too). You don't need to wait until the new year to start making yourself a better person (the person you want to bee). If I won the contest I would use the money to go back to college and finish my degree. I have 12 credits to get my Bachelor's Degree and I would very much love to get my Master's Degree. I think having my degree will make me feel better about myself. I think I would have more confidence and self worth because I know I have something of value to offer an employer. Plus if I'm lucky I could have my dream career (Forensic Psychology). 🙂
How would YOU "Feed Your Better" if you were one of the lucky readers? I would love to know. Feel free to share your thoughts.
For more information about Arnold®/Brownberry®/Oroweat® visit their websites. They even have a great recipe section to help you Feed Your Better.

Calls for asylum seekers to be subject to special "behaviour protocols" have met fierce opposition from refugee support agencies in Canberra.
Following the arrest of a Sri Lankan asylum seeker over the alleged indecent assault of a young woman in Sydney, opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison called for special ''behaviour protocols'' for those released into the community.
Mandatory notification of police and residents in areas where they were housed was also proposed. But this type of blanket approach was not the solution to individual issues, according to Canberra Refugee Support president Geoff McPherson.
"When we have people who break the law, they need to be dealt with," he said.
"But we don't need special protocols based on ethnicity or the way you arrived in Australia."
Mr McPherson said it was "extremely unusual" to read reports of an asylum seekers breaking the law.
"They are typically desperate to be on the right side of the law," he said.
"They above all know if they do break the law that this could be sealing their fate in a direction they didn't want to go."
The majority of refugees settled locally are eager to become part of the Canberra community, according to Penina Huho.
As creative director of No Sweat Fashions, an organisation providing training and employment to asylum seekers, Ms Huho said she works daily with people who want to "develop themselves and contribute".
"I think it's a real shame that this stereotype is being applied to everybody."

Bill Palmer
Course Director
Bill Palmer was a founder and an ex-chair of the Shiatsu Society UK and was editor of the Journal of Shiatsu and Oriental Body Therapy . He teaches postgraduate training courses in Spain, Holland, Germany, Austria, Italy, USA, Australia and the UK. He was, for five years, a trainer for the Gestalt Trust's psychotherapy training programme in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
He has had a varied career in parallel with his therapeutic work: as a teacher in Islington Schools during the 70's, as a postgraduate mathematician and physicist in London University, teaching media techniques in the Central School of Speech and Drama, holding a research post in Brunel University and acting as Managing Director of Interragate, a software company specialising in Artificial Intelligence. In 1986 he founded the School for Experiential Education with Clare Hayes and Elizabeth St John.
He started studying Shiatsu with Minoru Kanetsuka in 1974 as part of ongoing Aikido practice and then with Akinobu Kishi from 1979-1980. In 1980 he started teaching Zen Shiatsu in London. From 1980-1985 he came into regular contact with children with learning difficulties at the Central School of Speech and Drama, where he collaborated with Kay Coombes in making films of treatment for babies with Cerebral Palsy. Observations of these babies inspired his research into the developmental function of meridians. He showed in detail how the development of movement in infants follows the track of the Chinese Meridian system, which led to his belief that meridians could be used to re-stimulate blocked developmental processes.
He also trained in Chinese Herbal Medicine with Ted Kapchuk from 1982-84, Wolfson Voicework with Derek Gale and members of the Roy Hart Theatre from 1985-1992, Body Mind Centering with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen from 1988-1995 and has attempted to practice Dzog Chen under the wry guidance of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche.
In 1985 he started to synthesise these influences into a form of therapy which worked at the junction of mind and body through the meridian system. This eventually evolved into Movement Shiatsu and then into Developmental Process Therapy. These forms of therapy focus on helping people to realise the choices they have in their life and to teach them to become active within those choices. They specifically do not propose that any way of being is better than another.
Thanks to peanuts
Bill says about his work: "My central belief is that we, as individuals, are not wise enough to know what is best for another person. Therefore, I don't try to understand what to do by diagnosis and theory. Instead, I focus on helping people to feel into themselves through their body sensations, and trust their natural life process to do the therapeutic work. My work is now more like education than therapy. Since I believe the meridians to be the pathways along which the mind learns to inhabit the body in childhood, they provide one of the best ways of helping a person's awareness to reach hidden and blockaded parts of the self. The meridians are the guides, teaching us about ourselves through the body."
He has written over forty articles exploring this approach, some of which are available online."

I've been having a problem using my mouse on the Linux version (installed, not standalone) of XBMC running Alaska. It is enabled, but whenever I use it, I get a large icon that shows a mouse with a red X through it. At first I thought this meant I couldn't use a mouse at all, however all of the mouse functions still work. I've been using the big "no mouse" icon as an icon, but I have a problem. It clicks far up and to the left of where I place the center mass of the icon, so my younger brother (who I set my system up for) can't use it properly because he can't recognize this like I do. Is this a bug, or is there any calibration or correction I can do on this? Any help would be appreciated.

Try another skin that's been designed with mouse use in mind.
ie Confluence or XeeBo.

I'll mess around with those if I can. The biggest reason why I chose Alaska is because of its relatively straightforward interface as well as its grid library layout. I haven't done enough research to see if I can do that on either of those, but thanks for the suggestions.

The Last Great Pedestrian Venue
Some of the greatest pedestrian (competitive walking) matches of the 1870s and 1880s took place at the Royal Agricultural Hall in the Islington district of London. The Aggie, as it was known, was built in 1861, and it is still standing. Today it is a conference center known as the Business Design Centre. It is the last great pedestrian venue still extant. Below is a picture of the Aggie circa 1890, and another I took on my recent trip to the U.K.

Bourgeois receives official Vatican letter dismissing him from priesthood
The letter, which makes no specific charges, had to be translated from Latin before Roy Bourgeois knew what it said.
The letter, which makes no specific charges, had to be translated from Latin before Roy Bourgeois knew what it said.
The church reform group that represents about a quarter of Ireland's Catholic priests has issued a statement of support for Roy Bourgeois.
NCR Today: The leadership team of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas wrote they are "saddened and disturbed" by the Vatican's dismissal of Roy Bourgeois.
Dominican Fr. Tom Doyle's questions include what knowledge the order had of the Vatican's move and why it hasn't shared the official document.
Bulletins from the Human Side: The expulsion of Roy Bourgeois from the Maryknoll order is just another sign that the Vatican condemns what it's afraid of.
One abnormality is the involvement of the Vatican's doctrinal congregation, not the Vatican's congregation that deals with religious orders.
Bourgeois: "The Vatican and Maryknoll can dismiss me, but they cannot dismiss the issue of gender equality in the Catholic Church."
After 45 years, Roy Bourgeois, who had come under scrutiny for supporting women's ordination, has been dismissed from Maryknoll.
The tone of discussion between the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers and Fr. Roy Bourgeois, a priest who has been threatened with excommunication and removal from the order for his support of women's ordination, has seemingly changed direction.
While the order has recently taken a number of formal moves to remove Bourgeois -- including holding an official vote of its leadership on the matter earlier this year -- the priest says a June 6 meeting between his superior general and him saw no discussion of his removal and instead focused on a discussion of the rights of conscience of Catholics.
The leadership of the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers has voted on whether they will dismiss from the order Fr. Roy Bourgeois, a longtime peace activist who has come under scrutiny for his support of women's ordination.
While the outcome and timing of the vote is unclear, the order's communications manager confirmed with NCR on Wednesday it had taken place.

How are you learning programming?
1. At School
2. Self Taught
3. Self Taught (study or buddy group)
i'm self taught for 3 years now, but at school i'm taking some dumb courses just for credits
self-taught . . .
. . . Only way to go!:D
I like to consider myself self taught because i learned very little from going to lectures. I would read the chapters in the book a few times to understant what was going on.
When i took CS2 we basically got worksheets every class that gave a little outline of what we were supposta be learning, but this was mostly review for me. The rest of the worksheet was our lab activity for the class.
Next I took Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) and used the book rather than the leactures to learn. Maybe it was becuase i would fall asleep, and if i wasen't asleep i couldn't understant my prof cus of his accent. The STL reference on the SGI site helped out.
Does this count as being self taught, even tho i learned the material for a class? I mean the only person that made me understand was myself reading the book
I'm teaching myself... But it's a bumpy road, because I'm pretty young for the stuff I'm trying to learn and the teachers at my school don't know anything about this stuff
"Most advanced" programming language they teach is Visual Basic 5
self-taught. Books are the best becuase you can learn whenever you want to and there is no pressure and no competition and you can learn at your own pace. I'm going into year 9 next year (i am 14) and I think that I already know more than the computer teachers! (they're not that good) so I think that teaching myself may be the only way.
both for me, most CS classes at university are in Java (but next one is Computer Architecture, in assembly), but learning C++ at home.
ive been teaching myself C++ for quite a while now with books, inet resources etc and now im learning Java (ergh) at Uni.
I didn't like the Programming teacher at Uni., that's why I do it at home.
But I'd like to have a teacher, or take a course. I think it'd be the best way to start, and once you know what's going on, then you can move on by yourself.
Well I am replying to my own post, oh well....
I am self taught for the meantime, but once I finish high school I am planning to go to college to learn programming....I want to get degrees on it.
Self Taught
BTW, I think that this thread should be moved to the GD board, don't you?
Or is it only about C++?
Well, I'm in a class, but the way the class works, we basically teach ourselves out of the book and our teacher just helps us with debugging and making fun of us...
Self tought with the good old, "Trial, Error, and Deletion of the Hard Drive When Screwing Up" method. ;)
i'm in comp sci II at my school, but the teacher basically knows nothing about c++, and just hands out assignments sometimes.

I have to laugh a little at how misleading that title is, as it makes you believe that you might be about to read an exhaustive list of the uses of this incredible healing tree. Alas, this blog only skims the surface, partly because there is so much to express here and this is just a mere blog, not a 5 volume tome, and partly because the FDA would get upset with me if I mentioned most of the uses as their law called DSHEA precludes me from mentioning any diseases.
Parts Used
Traditionally "five parts" of Neem are used as medicine, collectively these five are called PanchNeem. However this ancient formula includes the roots which we leave alone due to sustainability issues. ORGANIC INDIA uses the three parts of Neem that are the most potent and also the most sustainable to use.
- Neem leaves
- Neem twigs
- Neem blossoms
Traditional and Modern Uses
Neem is an incredibly versatile and powerful herb that accomplishes the following and much, much more:
- Works on every system of the body
- Supports vital blood cleansing function
- Supports overall immunity
- Supports skin health
- Helps balance digestion
- Helps balance elimination
- Helps balance metabolism
- Supports healthy blood sugar levels
One of the most powerful purifiers in Ayurveda1, Neem is used in everything from clearing toxic blood found in many skin conditions2, sanitizing wounds3 and cleaning pores4 to clearing and exorcising evil spirits5.
Neem has really earned a loving devotion from India during certain epidemics of undesirable phenomena as people bathed in Neem tea to protect and cure themselves6. Because of this Neem is literally worshiped by Indians who have dedicated this tree to the Goddess Mariamma, the deity that protects one from epidemics7. It is not uncommon to see this devotion symbolized by a red string tied around a Neem tree with a ghee lamp burning amidst flowers at its base.
Neem is a very bitter herb that purifies and nourishes the blood and skin and so is useful for a wide array of indications ranging from supporting a blemish free face to healing wounds to ensuring healthy skin cell apoptosis. Neem protects liver from toxins and pathogens as well as helping to restore it. This makes Neem an especially useful herb for travel, detoxification and balancing tendencies toward less than salubrious habits. Neem also removes cholesterol from the liver and inhibits its assimilation, giving your cardiovascular system double protection from excesses of cholesterol.
As an anti-oxidant it protects the lungs from pollution and toxins. When it comes to first-aid, it serves in accidents ranging from cuts to concussions. Neem is hemostatic, vulnerary, a great healer of tissue, and it is analgesic, supports a healthy response to occasional inflammation, and significantly boosts immunity. Like the endangered Goldenseal, for which it is an excellent sustainable substitute, Neem is actually a trophorestorative specific to mucus membranes throughout the body where it routes out toxins and pathogens and deeply restores balance and function.
Neem is an especially good tonic for springtime and summer as it is so cooling to the bodymind and clearing of the toxins within the liver and blood.
Western bioscientists have published thousands of studies that indicate Neem promotes the purity of the blood and liver, supports healthy cell proliferation and apoptosis, supports healthy response to occasional inflammation, and is a potent immunostimulant.
The Latin binomial of Neem is Azadirachta indica, which is the Latinization of the Persian name of this remarkable tree: Azad Dirakht Sindhu, which literally means "The Noble Tree of Freedom from India."
If you remember nothing else about Neem, remember that it is an incredible awe inspiring complete pharmacy of wellness for thousands of years to an ever increasing circle of grateful people around the world.
Thank You!

AMHERST – New Glasgow's Julia Henderson shot a 70 to capture the 2014 Amherst Ladies Invitational Golf Tournament trophy Wednesday afternoon at the Amherst Golf Club.
"My putting went well and didn't go so well," said Henderson, who was playing the Amherst Ladies Invitational for the first time. "I had a couple three-putts but I also had a few birdies."
Henderson birdied hole numbers 4,5,8 and 15, and bogied hole numbers 12, 16, 18.
"Eliminating three-putts is always something I look to do in a round," said Henderson.
Janice Coleman was the low net of the field after shooting a 98. With a handicap of 31, Coleman played in the third division and finished with a net score of 67.
"My putting and my drives were working well today, and it's the first time I broke a 100, so I had a lucky day," said Coleman, who was playing her third Amherst Ladies Invitational.
Coleman says she needs to improve her chipping game.
Both players said the course was in great shape.
"The course is in beautiful shape. It's absolutely perfect," said Henderson.
Temperatures reached a humid 26 C.
"It was very muggy out there but the rain held off, pretty well, until everybody finished," said Coleman. "People got hit by rain on the last couple holes but that was about it."
