WASHINGTON — U.S. builders increased their spending on construction projects in October by the largest amount in five months, led by a surge in housing.
The Commerce Department said Monday that construction spending rose 1.4 percent in October. It was the largest gain since a 1.7 percent increase in May.
The increase raised spending to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $872.1 billion. That is nearly 17 percent higher than a 12-year low hit in February 2011.
Still, even with the gain, the level of spending on construction remains only about half of what's considered healthy.
Housing construction spending jumped 3 percent in October. Nonresidential building rose 0.3 percent. The government said Superstorm Sandy, which hit in late October, had only a minimal effect on the figures.
Sales of new homes fell slightly in October, dragged lower by steep declines in the Northeast partly related to Superstorm Sandy. New-home sales were still 17 percent higher in October than the same month a year ago.
Strength in home building has been one of the bright spots for the economy this year. But overall construction is still being offset by weakness in commercial real estate and tight state and local government budgets.
The strong 3 percent increase in housing construction spending in October left the rate of annual spending 19 percent above the level of October 2011.
The housing market appears to be withstanding fears that the economy will go over a "fiscal cliff" next year without a budget deal to prevent tax increases and spending cuts from kicking in, said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics. Dales noted that residential spending over the past three months has jumped at a 29 percent annual rate.
The pace of spending on nonresidential construction is now 10.7 percent above its level a year ago. Spending on hotel construction and shopping centers both rose in October.
Government construction spending barely rose, to a level that's still below its rate of a year ago. Public projects have been under stress because of budget problems at all levels of government.
Federal construction spending rose 10.7 percent in October. But spending fell slightly among state and local governments.
From July through September, residential construction grew at an annual rate of 14.2 percent. Housing construction is on track to contribute to economic growth this year — the first time that's happened in the five years since the housing bubble burst.
Though new homes represent only a fraction of the housing market, they have an out-size impact on the economy. Each home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to statistics from the National Association of Home Builders.
Builders are increasingly confident that the housing recovery will endure. A measure of their confidence rose in November to the highest level in 6½ years. And builders broke ground on new homes and apartments in October at the fastest pace in more than four years.
But there are factors dragging on the housing recovery. Many Americans, particularly first-time homebuyers, are unable to qualify for a mortgage. And many can't afford larger down payments that are being required by banks.
While housing has strengthened this year, the broader economy has lagged behind. The government reported last week that overall economic growth increase to an annual rate of 2.7 percent in the July-September quarter, up from 1.3 percent in the April-June quarter.
But through the first nine months of this year, economic growth has averaged just 2 percent, far below what is needed to make a significant dent in unemployment.
Many analysts think growth is slowing in the current October-December quarter to below 2 percent. The disruptions caused by Superstorm Sandy weighed on consumer spending in October.
And many consumers and businesses may also be worried about automatic tax increases and spending cuts that are scheduled to kick in next year, if Congress and the Obama administration fail to reach a deal before then to avert them.

Jamie Lynn Spears Gives Sister Britney's Pop Hit a Country Flair
Britney Spears's little sister Jamie Lynn Spears is making a name for herself in country music, and she may eventually give her superstar sibling a run for her money. The 22-year-old former Nickelodeon star released her debut country single, "How Could I Want More," last week, and it has already debuted on the Billboard charts.
On Thursday she made an impressive live debut at famed Georgia club Eddie's Attic, where she road-tested some of her new country jams. Although she was in the spotlight, she didn't fail to give a shout-out to her big sister Britney by covering her hit "Oops!...I Did It Again." The singer worked it into a medley with her song "Miss Mississippi" and gave it a decidedly country flair, backed by an acoustic guitar, banjo, and drums.
The crowd ate it up, whooping and hollering when she sang the chorus and doing the heart-palpitating dance move that Britney made famous in her outerspace-themed video for the tune. "You gotta throw it back to your sister at some point, right?" Spears told the crowd when the song ended. "My sister's been a big influence so of course I've got to throw it back to her, so a big round of applause for my sister," she said, and the crowd cheered and clapped.
While some people are surprised that Jamie Lynn is pursuing a career in country music rather than following in her pop star sister's footsteps, she says it's a natural fit for her because it harkens back to her roots.
"I think people forget that I grew up in Louisiana, and that my father is as southern as they come," she told Billboard. "Country music was a big part of me and my dad's relationship, and still is. I understand where people would assume I'd [be a] pop [act]. I mean, my sister is a pop icon, so I completely get where people would've expected that!"

I'm a bit late to the party here, but I thought I'd offer some comments on Tyler Cowen's recent New York Times column about discipline and hard work. First, some excerpts:
[A]s someone from a conservative and libertarian background, I find that I am hearing too much talk about riches and not enough about values...
Conservatives often believe that much of the poverty in the United States is an issue of insufficient discipline and conscientiousness...Yet how can such a culture of discipline be spread? [I]t has been argued that society should grant respect to business creators and to stern parents who instill discipline...
But are such moves, when carried out, actually shifting popular culture in a properly disciplined and conscientious direction? Not really. In fact, in the United States, the red states, where conservatives are more powerful, tend to have higher divorce rates and weaker educational systems than do blue states...
The counterintuitive tragedy is this: modern conservative thought is relying increasingly on social engineering through economic policy, by hoping that a weaker social welfare state will somehow promote individual responsibility. Maybe it won't. (emphasis mine)I think this is extremely insightful, and I am delighted to hear people beginning to say this.
See, this is one of the big problems I have with conservatism as an ideology: Conservatives really want people to value hard work and discipline (not to mention sexual abstinence), but they typically have no idea whatsoever how to get people to actually value these things! Like the military dad in American Beauty, they think that they can just beat their values into the populace...except instead of fists and feet, the cudgel they try to use is poverty. Without a welfare state, the thinking goes, people who slack off and party and have sex will be forced to live with the consequences of their actions; having been stung by the lash of economic hardship, they will see the light, toughen up, and go get a real job.
Sounds like tough love. No wonder people call the Republicans the "daddy party"! But unfortunately, this just doesn't work on most people. There are at least four big reasons I can think of, off the top of my head.
For one thing, people who want to party and slack off have too many outside options. They can turn to the black market (selling drugs, etc.). They can sponge off their families. They can sponge off their spouses. They can go to grad school.
For another thing, being poor in America, or any rich country, is just not that bad. Even if you work at McDonald's, you can probably afford plenty of junk food, a heated room, a comfy old couch, a CRT TV, some old video games, a cheap used car, beer, and marijuana, and you can probably find people to have sex with you. Not exactly the Ritz, but not exactly the pangs of privation either!
An even bigger reason that the "tough love" approach to social engineering doesn't work has to do with the nature of human motivation. In my life, I have experienced both positive motivation (e.g. the chance to have a future I want) and negative motivation (the fear of failure). The latter works much better in short-term crunch-time situations - for example, "I had better study really hard right now or I'm going to fail this econometrics test, and my professor will kill me on the spot."
But that kind of fear doesn't work very well over longer periods of time - for example, in getting me to finish my dissertation. Eventually, fear and panic just grind you down and impede your productivity. Far more effective over the long run is positive motivation. Thinking about things I want gives me a positive boost and improves my overall energy level, in addition to the incentive it provides. So if conservatives want to get people to work hard, beating them repeatedly with the lash of poverty is not the best way to go about it. You'll end up with a bunch of poor people who are too exhausted, harried, and depressed to pick themselves up by their bootstraps. Henry Ford is one person who understood this.
Finally, there is one more reason why the "tough love" approach doesn't end poverty. That reason is social preferences. When you structure society so that there are a lot of poor people, then the lifestyle of poverty becomes "the thing to do." There are just so many poor people around that poor kids don't come into contact with anyone else. Poverty then becomes their world, and their aspirations and desires do not escape the ghetto. They grow up thinking that gangsters, not successful businesspeople or professionals, are the Big Dogs of society. They have no idea that hard word brings middle-class prosperity, because they don't see any examples of that happening...but, even worse, they don't really want to become middle class. They want to succeed within the context of the subculture within which they are embedded (note to sociologists: I am just making up terms left and right here). To a poor kid, a rich kid's version of "success" might look kinda neat, but it's too weird and alien and remote to be worth the effort.
So there are tons of reasons why simply smashing the welfare state doesn't instill poor people (or anyone at all) with good values. The beatings may continue, but morale will not improve. To conservatives, I say: If you really want people to value hard work and discipline, you've got to come up with a real, workable plan for achieving that goal.
What would such a plan look like? Loath as conservatives are to admit it, many liberals not only value hard work intrinsically, but have thought long and hard about what kind of social engineering would actually spread those values.
One basic idea is that hard work should be rewarded. Obvious, right? I mean, we're supposed to be economists here! People respond to incentives, and they are risk averse. A winner-take-all society is not very conducive to hard work; I'm not going to bust my butt for 30 years for a 1% shot at getting into The 1%. But I am going to bust my butt for 30 years if I think this gives me a 90% chance of having a decent house, a family, some security, a reasonably pleasant job, a dog, and a couple of cars in my garage. An ideal middle-class society is one in which everyone, not just anyone, can get ahead via hard work.
Liberals have tried hard to construct such a middle-class society. They came up with worker health and safety regulations, weekends, Social Security, labor unions, public schools, living wages, government-subsidized housing loans, grants and loans for college, earned-income tax credits, job retraining, and tax breaks for health care. Some of those ideas worked spectacularly, some failed. Many had mixed results. But the basic idea was sound: not just to give people handouts, but to make them feel as if they deserved what they were getting because of hard work.
Conservatives, meanwhile, are all too often divided on whether they actually believe that hard work works. Plenty of conservatives have undermined Cowen's hard-work-and-discipline bloc by saying that success in life is all due to natural differences in ability. These "I.Q. conservatives" see inequality as the natural order of things. They have focused on getting people to accept their place in society and learn to live with what they have, rather than strive to move up in the world. This is a very Old British sort of conservatism, a nobility-and-peasants ethos dressed up in the faux modernism of psychometric testing.
Conservatives need to look in the mirror and ask themselves: "Do we really want people to work hard and be disciplined? Or do we just say that in order to keep the peasants from getting restless, when deep down we believe that it's all about good genes?" Because if it's the former, conservatives should do some hard thinking about what actually gets people to work hard. And they should think about how to respond to those among their colleagues for whom it is simply the latter.

Choosing a Good Boarding Kennel
Need to go out of town? A boarding kennel can give
your pet quality careand can give you peace of mind. Before loading Fido or
Fluffy into the car and driving over to the nearest kennel, though, it's
important to find the right kennel and prepare your pet for boarding.
What are the pros and cons of using a boarding kennel?
Your pet depends on you to take good care of
hereven when you have to be out of town. Friends and neighbors may not have
the experience or time to properly look after your pet, particularly for
longer trips. So next time you have to leave your pet behind for a while,
leave pet care to the professionals, such as a pet sitter or boarding
A facility specializing in care and overnight
boarding allows your pet to:
avoid the stress of a long car or airplane ride to your
stay where he's welcome (unlike many hotels).
receive more attention and supervision than he would if
home alone most of the day.
be monitored by staff trained to spot health problems.
be secure in a kennel designed to foil canine and
feline escape artists.
Potential drawbacks to using a boarding kennel
the stress related to staying in an unfamiliar
the proximity to other pets, who may expose your pet to
health problems.
the difficulty of finding a kennel that accepts pets
other than dogs and cats.
the inconvenience of the drive over, which can be
especially hard on a pet easily stressed by car travel.
How do I find a good kennel?
Ask a friend, neighbor, veterinarian, animal
shelter, or dog trainer for a recommendation. You can also check the Yellow
Pages under "Kennels & Pet Boarding." Once you have nameseven ones you got
from reliable sourcesit's important to do a little background check.
First, find out whether your state requires
boarding kennel inspections. If it does, make sure the kennel you are
considering displays a license or certificate showing that the kennel meets
mandated standards.
Also ask whether the prospective kennel belongs to
the American Boarding Kennels Association (719-667-1600), a trade
association founded by kennel operators to promote professional standards of
pet care. Besides requiring members to subscribe to a code of ethics, ABKA
offers voluntary facility accreditation that indicates the facility has been
inspected and meets ABKA standards of professionalism, safety, and quality
of care.
Check, too, with your Better Business Bureau to
see whether any complaints have been lodged against a kennel you are
After selecting a few kennels, confirm that they
can accommodate your pet for specific dates and can address your pet's
special needs (if any). If you're satisfied, schedule a visit.
What should I look for?
On your visit, ask to see all the places your pet
may be taken. Pay particular attention to the following:
Does the facility look and smell clean?
Is there sufficient ventilation and light?
Is a comfortable temperature maintained?
Does the staff seem knowledgeable and caring?
Are pets required to be current on their vaccinations,
including the vaccine for canine kennel cough (Bordetella)? (Such a
requirement helps protect your animal and others.)
Does each dog have his own adequately sized
indoor-outdoor run or an indoor run and a schedule for exercise?
Are outdoor runs and exercise areas protected from
wind, rain, and snow?
Are resting boards and bedding provided to allow dogs
to rest off the concrete floor?
Are cats housed away from dogs?
Is there enough space for cats to move around
Is there enough space between the litter box and food
How often are pets fed?
Can the owner bring a pet's special food?
What veterinary services are available?
Are other services available such as grooming,
training, bathing?
How are rates calculated?
How do I prepare my pet?
Be sure your pet knows basic commands and is well
socialized around other people and pets; if your pet has an aggression
problem or is otherwise unruly, she may not be a good candidate for
boarding. Before taking your animal to the kennel, make sure she is current
on vaccinations.
It's also a good idea to accustom your pet to
longer kennel stays by first boarding her during a short trip, such as a
weekend excursion. This allows you to work out any problems before boarding
your pet for an extended period.
Before you head for the kennel, double-check that
you have your pet's medications and special food (if any), your
veterinarian's phone number, and contact information for you and a local
When you arrive with your pet at the boarding
facility, remind the staff about any medical or behavior problems your pet
has, such as a history of epilepsy or fear of thunder. After the check-in
process, hand your pet to a staff member, say good-bye, and leave. Avoid
long, emotional partings, which may upset your pet. Finally, have a good
trip, knowing that your pet is in good hands and will be happy to see you
when you return.

US aerospace Boeing said it had suspended deliveries of its new 787 Dreamliner jet until a battery problem is resolved.
A Boeing spokesman said' the Federal Aviation Administration earlier ordered the grounding of US-operated 787s after a damaged battery on an All Nippon Airways 787 forced an emergency landing.
t's likely that burning lithium ion batteries on two Boeing 787 Dreamliners were caused by overcharging, aviation safety and battery experts said Friday, pointing to developments in the investigation of the Boeing incidents as well as a battery fire in a business jet more than a year ago.
An investigator in Japan, where a 787 made an emergency landing earlier this week, said the charred insides of the plane's lithium ion battery show the battery received voltage in excess of its design limits.
The similarity of the burned battery from the All Nippon Airways flight to the burned battery in a Japan Airlines 787 that caught fire Jan. 7 while the jet was parked at Boston's Logan International Airport suggests a common cause, Japan transport ministry investigator Hideyo Kosugi said.
"If we compare data from the latest case here and that in the U.S., we can pretty much figure out what happened," Kosugi said.
In the case of the 787 in Boston, the battery in the plane's auxiliary power unit had recently received a large demand on its power and was in the process of charging when the fire ignited, a source familiar with the investigation of the 787 fire in Boston told The Associated Press. The plane had landed a short time earlier and was empty of passengers, although a cleaning crew was working in the plane.
The source spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly.
The Federal Aviation Administration issued an emergency order Wednesday temporarily grounding the six 787s belonging to United Airlines, the lone U.S. carrier operating Boeing's newest and most technologically advanced airliner. The Japanese carriers already had grounded their 787s, and airlines and civil aviation authorities in other countries followed suit, shutting down all 50 Dreamliners that Boeing has delivered so far.
Boeing said Friday it will stop delivering new 787s to customers until the electrical system is fixed. However, production is not stopping. The plane is assembled in Everett, Wash., and North Charleston, S.C. The aircraft maker has booked orders for more than 800 of the planes from airlines around the world attracted by its increased fuel efficiency.
A battery fire in a Cessna Citation CJ4, a business jet, prompted the Federal Aviation Administration in October 2011 to issue an emergency order requiring the lithium ion batteries in all 42 of the jets in operation at that time to be replaced with a conventional nickel-cadmium or lead-acid battery. The fire occurred while the plane was hooked up to a ground power station at Cessna's aircraft completion center in Wichita, Kan. Normally, that would cause an aircraft battery to automatically start charging, experts said.
A letter from Cessna to CJ4 owners after the incident cautioned: "Do not connect a ground power unit to the airplane if you have reason to believe the battery may be in a depleted state … Do not leave the aircraft unattended with a ground power unit connected."
The Citation was Cessna's first business jet with a lithium ion battery as its main battery, and the 787 is the first airliner to make extensive use of lithium ion batteries. But the two are vastly different in size and in other respects, including their electrical systems, making comparisons difficult. Their batteries also came from different makers. The reasons they overcharged are likely to be different, experts said.
However, the three incidents — the two burned 787 batteries and the Citation fire — underscore the vulnerability of lithium ion batteries to igniting if they receive too much voltage too fast, experts said. Other types of batteries may overheat in those circumstances, but they are far less susceptible to starting a fire, they said.
"Other batteries don't go this wrong when you treat them this badly," said Jay Whitacre, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. "The overall story here is these batteries are full of flammable electrolyte and they will burn if they are mistreated and something goes wrong."
There was one lithium ion battery fire during testing of the batteries while Boeing was working with FAA on certification of the 787, said Marc Birtel, a spokesman for the aircraftmaker.
However, that fire was due to problems with the test rather than the batteries themselves, he said.
"There are multiple backups to ensure the system is safe," Birtel said. "These include protections against over-charging and over-discharging."
But John Goglia, an aviation safety expert and former National Transportation Safety board member, said, "It certainly sounds like based on what has been released so far that we have an issue of the battery charger or some other source providing too much energy to the battery."
He said too-rapid charging might cause the electrolyte fluid in the batteries to overheat, leak and catch fire.
If the incidents are due to overcharging batteries, that might be good news for Boeing, Goglia said. A flaw in the aircraft's electronics that permits overcharging would likely be much easier to fix than having to replace the aircraft's lithium batteries with another kind of battery, he said.
Another possibility is a manufacturing defect in the batteries themselves, Whitacre said. More than other types of batteries, lithium ion batteries rely on very thin sheets of material internally to separate the negative and positive poles. The slightest flaw can cause a short circuit, overheating the flammable electrolytes.
"It's a delicate ecosystem that you are creating inside it and you have to manufacture it with perfect integrity," Whitacre said. "Then you have to keep it in the right voltage range and be very safe with its environmental conditions."
Jim McNerney, Boeing's chairman, president and CEO, sent the company's employees a letter Friday expressing confidence in the 787 and vowing to return the plane to service. "I remain tremendously proud of employees across the company for the decade of effort that has gone into designing, developing, building and delivering the most innovative commercial airplane ever imagined," he said.
The attraction of lithium batteries is that they are significantly lighter than other types of batteries. That saves fuel, which is airlines' leading expense. They also charge faster and contain more energy. And they can be molded to fit into odd space on airplanes, which most other batteries cannot.
The only other airliner using lithium batteries is the Airbus A380, which makes only limited use of the batteries for emergency lighting. However, Airbus is working on another airliner, the A350, expected to debut in 2014, that will make more extensive use of lithium batteries.
Boeing's headaches with the 787′s lithium batteries are likely to cause European safety officials and other regulators around the world to take a harder look at the new Airbus plane's batteries, safety experts said.
"I think they're going to have a learning experience here that probably is going to result in future modifications for anybody who wants to design an aircraft and use this type of battery technology," said Robert Fiegl, chairman of aeronautical science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Ariz.
The FAA, like aviation regulators in other countries, relies on the aircraft manufacturers to test their planes to make sure they are safe. FAA's certification engineers validate that testing and ensure that the level of safety meets FAA regulations. Boeing developed the safeguards for the 787s lithium batteries, but they had to win FAA's approval first.
The safety certification for the design, manufacturer and assembly of the 787 — a process that requires FAA approval each step of the way — was different in some respects from other aircraft because the Dreamliner employs so many cutting-edge technologies, safety experts said.
Besides its use of lithium batteries, the 787 is the first airliner whose structure is mostly made from composite materials rather than aluminum. The aircraft also relies to a greater extent than previous airliners on electronics to operate, rather than hydraulic or mechanical systems.
"You can go down the list of hardware on that plane where it's the first time it has been used on an airplane," said Paul Czysz, professor emeritus of aeronautical engineering at St. Louis University in St. Louis. "With anything that's brand new and has never been used on an airplane before, you run the risk of being the first one to find out if it really works."
The 787 was tested extensively both before and after its first test flight in 2009. The FAA said its technical experts logged 200,000 hours testing and reviewing the plane's design before it was certified in August 2011.
Six test planes ran up some 4,645 flight hours. About a quarter of those hours were flown by FAA flight test crews, the agency said in 2011.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Once the video went viral, Mike Rice's coaching days at Rutgers were over.
Now the question is whether anyone else will lose their jobs — including the athletic director who in December suspended and fined Rice for the abusive behavior, and the university president who signed off on it.
Rice was fired Wednesday, one day after a video surfaced of him hitting, shoving and berating his players with anti-gay slurs. The taunts were especially troubling behavior at Rutgers, where freshman student Tyler Clementi killed himself in 2010 after his roommate used a webcam to spy on him kissing another man in his dorm.
It also came at an especially embarrassing time for the NCAA, with the country focused on the Final Four basketball tournament this weekend.
Rice, in his third season with the Scarlet Knights, apologized outside his home in Little Silver, N.J.
"I've let so many people down: my players, my administration, Rutgers University, the fans, my family, who's sitting in their house just huddled around because of the fact their father was an embarrassment to them," he said. "I want to tell everybody who's believed in me that I'm deeply sorry for the pain and hardship that I've caused."
Athletic Director Tim Pernetti was given a copy of the tape by a former employee in November and, after an independent investigator was hired to review it, Rice was suspended for three games, fined $75,000 and ordered to attend anger management classes. University President Robert Barchi agreed to the penalty.
But on Wednesday, Rutgers referred to new information and "a review of previously discovered issues" as the reasons for the termination of the 44-year-old coach.
"Yesterday, I personally reviewed the video evidence, which shows a chronic and pervasive pattern of disturbing behavior," Barchi said in a statement. "I have now reached the conclusion that Coach Rice cannot continue to serve effectively in a position that demands the highest levels of leadership, responsibility and public accountability. He cannot continue to coach at Rutgers University."
The video shows numerous clips of Rice at practice during his three years at the school firing basketballs at players, hitting them in the back, legs, feet and shoulders. It also shows him grabbing players by their jerseys and yanking them around the court. Rice can also be heard yelling obscenities and using gay slurs.
Several college coaches said they had never seen anything like the Rutgers video and it broke a cardinal rule: Never put your hands on a player.
"Don't tell me that's the old way. That's the wrong way," said John Thompson Jr., the Hall of Famer who led Georgetown to the 1984 national title. Thompson, the father of current Hoyas coach John Thompson III, called the images "child abuse."
UConn women's coach Geno Auriemma, winner of seven national titles, said "there is no line that could be drawn that would make that behavior acceptable."
The most famous case of a coach accused of abusing a player is the one involving Bob Knight of Indiana. The university put him on a zero-tolerance policy in 2000 after an investigation into a former player's allegations that the coach had choked him during a practice. When a student alleged that Knight grabbed him later that year, Knight was fired. Knight, who now works for ESPN, couldn't be reached Wednesday.
The Rice video drew outrage on campus and all the way to the capital in Trenton, with lawmakers and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie supporting the firing at the state's flagship public university.
"This was a regrettable episode for the university, but I completely support the decision to remove Coach Rice," Christie said in a statement. "It was the right and necessary action to take in light of the conduct displayed on the videotape.
"Parents entrust their sons to the Rutgers athletic department and the men's basketball program at an incredibly formative period of their lives. The way these young men were treated by the head coach was completely unacceptable and violates the trust those parents put in Rutgers University. All of the student-athletes entrusted to our care deserve much better."
Clementi's family applauded the firing in a statement issued by the foundation named after their son.
"All students require safe environments to learn and reach their full potential, and Coach Rice's conduct has no place on a campus that is devoted to learning and fostering a sense of community," it said. "We know Rutgers is such a place, and, like all colleges and universities, it must not tolerate that kind of behavior."
State lawmakers want explanations from both Pernetti and Barchi on the initial decision not to fire Rice.
Pernetti took responsibility for trying to rehabilitate Rice instead of firing him.
"Dismissal and corrective action were debated in December and I thought it was in the best interest of everyone to rehabilitate, but I was wrong. Moving forward, I will work to regain the trust of the Rutgers community," he said.
Rice, who helped Robert Morris to two NCAA tournament appearances, was one of the hot coaching candidates in the spring of 2010. But he wasn't able to push Rutgers into the upper echelon of the Big East Conference, and went 44-51. Rice was 16-38 in the Big East, after going 73-31 in three seasons at Robert Morris. The Scarlet Knights went 15-16 this season and 5-13 in the league.
The firing means Rutgers has now seen its last four coaches dismissed for poor decisions and controversy, rather than simply wins and losses.
Rice was Pernetti's first major hire after getting the AD's job.
Pernetti, who has a year left on his contract, said his decision to only suspend Rice was made in part because the coach was remorseful.
The videotape was given to Pernetti by former director of player development, Eric Murdock, who was hired by Rice in 2010. The two had a falling out over Murdock's appearances at a camp, and Pernetti said Murdock's contract was not renewed for last season.
A woman who answered the phone at Murdock's home told the AP he was out. His cell phone did not answer.
Murdock, who said he was fired, compiled the video after losing his job.
Pernetti said about 60 percent of the incidents happened in Rice's first season.
AP Basketball Writers Jim O'Connell and Rachel Cohen in New York contributed to this report.

In Case Of Bad Things
Cops: Dial 911 for emergencies. For non-emergencies, call 415-553-0123. Never attempt to take matters into your own hands, our insurance doesn't cover that.
Fire Department: Dial 911 for emergencies. The designated meeting place in case of evacuation is at the northeast corner of Weise and 16th (the Taqueria.)
San Francisco City Services (graffiti, street conditions, utilities, etc): 311
Water (flooding): Someone should fill this out.
Hazardous Materials Leak: Hazardous materials are generally tagged with emergency contact info. If not, you should contain the leak and notify the mailing list to find out who knows how dangerous it is. Don't touch any unidentified substances without protection. Assume the worst.
Minor Medical (< 10 hit points): There's a first aid kit on the wall above the trash can.
Major Medical (>= 10 hit points, shop accident, gunshot wound, etc): Dial 911 for emergencies. The closest hospital is the level 1 trauma center at San Francisco General Emergency. Google thinks there's a hospital very close by on 18th, but it's just a drug clinic and does not have emergency services.
Safety Committee
Schoen proposed a safety committee, which was brought up at the 10/7 meeting. Add your name here to join! Please also list days and times that would be OK with you for a safety committee meeting.
Seth Schoen - evenings (except Tuesday until Oct. 28)
Meredith L. Patterson - evenings generally, prefer 8pm or later
Greg Albrecht - weekends & evenings that aren't monday or wednesday
Jacob Appelbaum - evenings
Christie - Monday, Tuesday or Thursday before 8(difficult), weekends.
Rigel 00:50, 29 October 2008 (PDT) I would like to sit in, i'm generally free most evenings except for friday and saturday
Al Sweigart - evenings
... looks like a Thursday evening might be plausible? ... +1 thursday evening. gba 10:32, 10 October 2008 (PDT)
... how about first meeting on Thursday the 16th at 20:00? Schoen 00:22, 12 October 2008 (PDT)
.... and a SECOND MEETING on Thursday, March 12, at 19:00? Schoen 22:33, 9 March 2009 (PDT)
Fire safety
We currently have two smoke detectors (one upstairs and one downstairs). We have two fire extinguishers (downstairs rated 3-A:40-B:C, upstairs rated 10-B:C). It would be nice to have a kitchen-oriented extinguisher in the kitchen, and an extinguisher in any lab space that is appropriate to kinds of fires that might occur in that lab space and that won't damage the equipment kept in that lab. If we have any activity, materials, or apparatus in the space for which our fire extinguishers are not suitable, we should get new fire extinguishers that are compatible with them.
We have no sprinklers or other automated fire suppression (right?) and we have only one exit. We should consider whether to do anything to improve the marking of the exit and the fire extinguishers.
It would be helpful for safety to ensure that we always have at least one phone available that doesn't depend on power and Internet access to make calls (a land line or cell phone). Schoen 20:37, 1 October 2008 (PDT)
First aid
We have a first aid kit on the wall next to the kitchen. We could encourage Noisebridge members to obtain First Aid and CPR certifications. Schoen 20:37, 1 October 2008 (PDT)
Just realized my CPR cert has expired. I'd like to organize a group for recert. Christie 10:10, 13 March 2009 (PDT)
Safety for projects, materials, and equipment
- Training
- Rules or procedures
- Documentation (e.g. MSDS)
- Standard operating procedure at every lab I have ever worked at has been to have a binder containing MSDSs for all materials used in the lab. Some labs also had an electronic version in a CMS; we could add MSDSs to the wiki, as many MSDSs are available on the web. If someone wanted to spring for it, we could also get an account at http://www.msdsonline.com/ or someplace similar. Mlp 23:00, 1 October 2008 (PDT)
- Safety equipment or apparatus (e.g. protective clothing or eyewear, eyewash, ventilation, etc.)
Physical security
- A security grate is needed on the smaller window over the door.
- Bolts on the security grates over the larger windows look somewhat weak. Could use some assessment and possible repair.
- A stronger solid-core door / access control needed
- More discussion in AccessSystem
Safety in the chemistry lab
We're definitely going to need to build a fume hood. ANY reaction that evolves gas must be done with appropriate ventilation, even if it's a relatively harmless gas, and the vent over your average stove won't cut it. (I almost killed myself with carbon dioxide in my kitchen once, so I take this very seriously.) It would really be best if we built a fume hood with an air foil. I have a doc with instructions on how to build one, but it's scanned from a textbook so I really shouldn't upload it here. How much linear space is available near the existing exhaust vent? Mlp 23:02, 1 October 2008 (PDT)
I think it might be useful to set up a timeline for what sorts of experiments we want to be able to do, so that we can acquire lab equipment in sequence of importance, and that maximizes the usability of our equipment for multiple ongoing experiments. it might also be useful to institute some sort of logging application or notebook requirement, so that legal issues can be dealt with as well as allowing others to springboard off of any work that does wind up being done. (this last one is not safety specifically, i know) Rigel 01:38, 29 October 2008 (PDT)
Other things we will need:
- Fire extinguisher: ABC type for sure.
- Bucket of sand. Check it once a week to make sure that the sand hasn't accreted into a solid block.
- Nitrile gloves should always be in stock; they can be had cheap from American Science and Surplus.
- Keep baking soda around for neutralizing acid spills, vinegar for neutralizing base spills.
- Paper towels, loads of them.
- A couple of lab coats. (~$17 at AS&S I think)
- Safety goggles!!!!!
- Eyewash bottle (always keep full with clean distilled water)
- Decontamination shower (we might want to set this up outside in the alley, can make one from PVC)
- Sulfur powder if anyone is working with mercury

- 1 Haptics Lab Using the FireFader for Music 250a
Haptics Lab Using the FireFader for Music 250a
by Edgar Berdahl and edited by Wendy Ju
See this quarter's schedule for due dates.
The goal of this lab is to introduce actuation and active force feedback. Each haptic effect can easily be coupled to a sound because the feedback loop is controlled directly in pd. Different haptic effects suggest different sounds; different sounds suggest different effects. What are the most interesting mappings? Which are appropriate, controllable, even "expressive"? Try each sound control with and without haptic feedback enabled. Are there some that simply cannot be played without haptics?
Feel The Motors
Find the foam-core board that has motors mounted on it and try them out.
For the DC motors, connect one alligator clip to the 6V supply on the Triple Output Power Supply from Hewlett Packard, and connect the other alligator clip to ground, which is labeled COM. Careful! Don't use the 18V supply instead--you could burn out the motors! By adjusting the +6V knob, you can change what voltage you are applying to each of the DC motors. Which way does the solenoid pull? What are small motors good for and what are large motors good for?
For the AC motors, use the Tektronix Function Generator. Try sine waves in the audible range 20Hz-20kHz on the white-colored AC motor. For it to be loud, it needs to be connected to something that can vibrate. Try changing the sound by coupling it to the foam core or the violin body or something else. The other, smaller AC motor can be used to vibrate objects with iron or steel in them or magnets. Try to use it to vibrate the magnet glued to the foam core. Try to use it to vibrate the violin string directly, which contains some steel inside it. (Hint: You will have to place it very closely to the string without touching the string.) Do you know at which frequencies the violin string responds the most?
Connect the FireFader to Your Beagle Board
Be careful with the FireFader. It is possible to break it, for instance if it goes unstable! If it goes unstable, you should immediately cut the power by turning off the power switch on the FireFader. The power cable for the FireFader has a yellow end on it, on which is written 12V (or 15V). Be very careful NEVER to plug this into the Beagle Board because you would break it. (The Beagle Board needs to receive only 5V.)
- Disconnect the Arduino Nano that you normally use from your Beagle Board.
- Then connect your Beagle Board instead to the Arduino Nano on the FireFader.
- You will see that a circuit has already been created on the bread board. This is essentially the circuit for the H-bridge motor driver L298 (see p. 6 of the datasheet) with the large LEDs connected in parallel with the motor.
Setup the Software on Your Satellite CCRMA Kit
- First startup your kit
- Connect your Satellite CCRMA kit to your laptop and boot it.
- Use a terminal window to login to Satellite CCRMA as usual using the command ssh -XY email@example.com with the password temppwd
- Download the <https://ccrma.stanford.edu/courses/250a/labs/hapticslab2012.zip lab files> to your laptop.
- Copy the lab files to your home directory ~ using Cyber duck.
- Unzip the files: change into your ~ directory, and type hapticslab2012.zip.
- You shouldn't need to reinstall the FireFader Firmware, but in case there is an issue, you can
- run the command arduino& to start the Arduino software. (If it asks you if you want to install a newer version of the Arduino software, tell it no.)
- Use the Arduino software to open ~/hapticslab2012/haptics_firmware/haptics_firmware.pde. Upload this code to the Arduino.
- Look at the main loop loop() in the source code for this firmware for a minute. You can see that it reads data from the serial connection from pd and uses this to set the PWM pins using analogWrite(). Then it writes data to the serial connection to pd about the position of the Fire Fader. Additional data from the analog input pins 1-3 is also sent over the serial, but these pins aren't currently used.
- First start audio. You can use this using start-jackd as usual, but if you use the following command the audio quality will be slightly better:
jackd --silent -R -P62 --timeout 200 -dalsa -dhw:0 -p512 -n3 -i2 -o2 -s -S -r22050 -Xseq &
- To start pd for this lab, use the following command
pd -sleepgrain 1 &
- Plug in your speakers or earbuds.
- in Pd, add the following directories to your path by going to File->Path->New:
/home/ccrma/hapticslab2012/datadir/pdhelp /home/ccrma/hapticslab2012/datadir/puredatadir
- Open pd and load the patch ~/hapticslab2012/datadir/puredatadir/touch_ground~-help.pd
- Read the text of the patch so that you can understand how the layout of the patch relates to the equivalent mechanical system of the FireFader being connected by a touch link to ground.
- Turn on audio by clicking on compute audio, which also allows the haptic forces to be computed.
- Verify that by moving the FireFader back and forth, you can make the hslider shown in the patch change.
- Plug in the 12V yellow power connector to the FireFader.
- Switch the FireFader on while holding onto the fader.
- You should be able to feel a spongy "wall" when you move the FireFader to the left of the center position. (If not, then check your setup.)
- Because of the spring action of the touch link, the force increases when you move to the right. However, if you move far enough to the right, then the motors can no longer increase the force level any further due to mechanical limitations.
- Try decreasing the stiffness of the contact~ link to 150 N/m. How does this feel?
- Consider a hypothetical situation involving two springs with stiffness k N/m. If you connect the two springs in series, is the net stiffness 2k or 0.5k? What if you connect the two springs in parallel?
- When you are done with the patch, turn the motor amplifier board off again. (The motor can get hot if left on while exerting a force.)
Note: Systems with feedback can become unstable if the right conditions arise. This is why it is a good idea to turn off the motor amplifier board when you are not using the system. (Otherwise, consider what can happen with a public address system if you leave it alone and it starts to squeal/howl.)
- Close any other open patches, and then open ~/hapticslab2012/datadir/puredatadir/pluck_a_mass_on_spring~-help.pd
- Read the patch and notice how the layout of the patch matches the equivalent mechanical system of a FireFader connected by a springy link~ to a virtual mass.
- On the left, the position of the FireFader is shown with an hslider, and on the right the position of the virtual mass m is shown with an hslider.
- Turn on the motors and wiggle the FireFader back and forth. Can you feel the virtual mass?
- What happens if you change the virtual mass from 1.2kg to 0.6kg?
- What happens if you change the damping in the link~ from 1 N/(m/s) to 0 N/(m/s)?
- Is it a bad idea to make the damping negative? (Be ready to cut the power if you try this!!)
- Open this patch and see if you can guess what will happen. Now try it!
- Read the patch and notice how the layout of the patch matches the equivalent mechanical system.
- For example, note how one virtual resonator is formed by mass~ m connected to ground g by link l. The second resonator is formed by mass~ m2 connected to ground g2 by link l2.
- In case you are wondering about the equivalent mechanical system, here is a similar one: the FireFader is plucking a single virtual resonator.
- Why does the pitch increase when you can feel the virtual resonators? Hint: contact-pluck~ c behaves like a spring when the FireFader is connected to the resonators. Another hint: Consider whether c is connected in parallel or in series with the virtual resonators.
- First try interacting with the string without any haptic force feedback. Then turn on the power to the motor amplifier board and try to pluck the string. Is it easier to play with or without haptic feedback?
- Clicking on the bang in the main patch will cause an impulse to be send into the string. What do you have to do with the FireFader in order to be able to feel the impulse?
- Open up the subpatch to have a look inside.
- Try to imagine what it would look like if the delread~ and delwrite~ pairs were bypassed? Again, the layout of the patch should provide some indication for the equivalent mechanical model
- Optional: How could you change either of the DWG-end~ objects to increase the fundamental frequency of the string's sound?
- If you would like to learn more about physical modeling then take Julius Smith's course Music 420 in the winter quarter. For some specific information about this particular physical modeling method, see this brief tutorial.
- Remember to turn off the power to the motor amplifier board when you are finished.
- Now hold onto the FireFader while you turn on the motor amplifier board with the other hand. (Be careful because this patch is especially likely to become unstable! If the FireFader should become unstable, turn off the motor amplifier board again.)
- You should now feel a virtual "robot" that tends to shake the FireFader about 3 times per second.
- Look at the mechanical analog inside pd subpatch-blocked-at-1. Again the FireFader is connected by a link to ground. However, this time the "virtual mass" is implemented using osc~ 3 and neighboring objects.
- Note that in the previous patch, the same physical model was used to synthesize both the audio feedback and the haptic force feedback, in this case, the output from the haptic feedback model is used to control the shaker~.
Build Your Own
Make your very own musical controller using the FireFader and one of the above patches as a starting point. Here are some ideas, but feel free to follow your own interests:
- Make a record scratching interface allowing you to feel the record.
- Or try to impart kinetic energy from your body into a physical model of an instrument.
- Or can you program the haptic interface so that it allows you to feel a texture?
- Or use the same physical model to calculate both the haptic force feedback and the audio feedback. For instance, you could create multiple virtual objects that you can pluck by giving them different mechanical ground positions.
- Or if you would like to try some advanced three-dimensional force feedback using the NovInt Falcon, you can use the same physical modeling formalism with HSP for Max/MSP.
Make us proud. Post the video of your controller at Music 250a Lab Video Wiki. And be ready show off your controller at the next lab session!
This lab was inspired by an older lab exercise for this class by Bill Verplank as well as work done at Claude Cadoz's laboratory.

This guide will compile OpenOCD 0.6.0 for Ubuntu 10.04 with the LibFTDI driver library, for use with the TinCanTools Flyswatter, Flyswatter2, and Flyswatter3. Version 0.6.0 is the version of OpenOCD currently in development. For instructions on compiling with the most recent release code, see Compiling OpenOCD Linux.
OpenOCD 0.6.0 vs the 0.5.0 Release
This guide uses the most recent version of the OpenOCD source currently in development. Unlike the 0.5.0 release the development version includes support for the Flyswatter2 and Flyswatter3, so you won't need to download or apply a patch before compiling. However, the development code is subject to change at any time. If you encounter problems with this option, try the OpenOCD 0.5.0 instructions in Compiling OpenOCD Linux instead.
Installing Packages
You will need to install several packages to compile and run OpenOCD. Open a terminal window (Applications menu > Accessories > Terminal) and type:
sudo apt-get install libtool autoconf texinfo libusb-dev
If you prefer to compile libusb yourself, you can find the source at http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/files/libusb-1.0/.
Downloading and Compiling libFTDI
libFTDI is an open source library that enables you to talk to FTDI chips like: FT232BM, FT245BM, FT245R, FT2232C, FT2232D and FT2232H. You will need libFTDI to compile OpenOCD. Download libftdi-0.19.tar.gz from:http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi/download.php and extract it to your home directory (/home/USERNAME, replacing USERNAME with your username).
Navigate to home/USERNAME/libftdi-0.19/src, and copy ftdi.h to your /usr/include directory. Then create a symbolic link to ftdi.h in /usr/local/include. In the terminal window:
cd ~/libftdi-0.19/srcsudo cp ftdi.h /usr/includecd /usr/local/includesudo ln -s /usr/include/ftdi.h ftdi.h
Return to your libftdi-0.19 directory and compile.
cd ~/libftdi-0.19./configuremakesudo make install
This will install the necessary library files to /usr/local/lib. Navigate to /usr/lib and create symbolic links to the new files.
cd /usr/libsudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libftdi.a libftdi.asudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libftdi.la libftdi.lasudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libftdi.so.1.19.0 libftdi.so.1.19.0sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libftdi.so.1.19.0 libftdi.sosudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libftdi.so.1.19.0 libftdi.so.1
Downloading OpenOCD
Git is version control software distributed with Ubuntu. You can use git to download the current development code from the OpenOCD git repository at sourceforge.net. In the terminal window, navigate to your home directory and make sure you don't already have a directory there named openocd/. (Downloading with git will create a directory called openocd/ containing the OpenOCD source. If you already have a directory called openocd/ either rename it or navigate to a different directory before you proceed.) Then download OpenOCD with the following command:
cd ~git clone git://openocd.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openocd/openocd
There should now be a folder in your home directory called openocd/.
Compiling OpenOCD
In the terminal window, navigate to the new folder containing the OpenOCD source and compile as follows.
cd ~/openocdsudo ./bootstrapsudo ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --disable-werror --enable-ft2232_libftdisudo makesudo make install
Navigate to /home/USERNAME/openocd/src to find the openocd binary. You will need superuser privileges (the sudo command) to run OpenOCD.
Preparing to Run OpenOCD
You can run openocd from /home/USERNAME/openocd/src, but you may encounter problems with configuration files. For a more in-depth discussion of these issues, see OpenOCD Config File Paths. This guide recommends that you create a new directory containing OpenOCD and its config files.
Create a new directory in /home/USERNAME called openocd-bin, and copy the openocd binary and the contents of /home/USERNAME/openocd/tcl to the new directory. You can do this from the terminal window with the collowing commands:
cd ~mkdir openocd-bincd ~/openocd/tclcp -r * ~/openocd-bincd ~/openocd/srccp openocd ~/openocd-bin
openocd-bin should now contain the following files and subdirectories:
You can now run OpenOCD from /home/USERNAME/openocd-bin. To get started running OpenOCD, see Running OpenOCD on Linux.
