Oxnard man found guilty of '06 murder of inspector
A jury on Wednesday found Jermaine L. Robair guilty of the 2006 murder of a welding inspector at the Santa Clara River Bridge construction site.
Robair, 26, of Oxnard was convicted of the first-degree murder of Steven Knapp, a 54-year-old Apple Valley man, at the construction site along Highway 101 between Oxnard and Ventura on May 24, 2006.
The jury found that the murder was committed during a carjacking and robbery. Robair also was convicted of carjacking and robbery.
Robair showed no emotion as the verdicts were read.
Robair's lawyer, Donna Forry with the Public Defender's Office, had argued during closing arguments that her client is guilty of second-degree murder, arguing that this wasn't a premeditated murder.
Forry declined to comment after the verdicts.
Knapp's widow, Alice, attended the trial but declined to comment until Robair is sentenced on April 30.
Ventura County Superior Court Judge Rebecca Riley made an official finding after the murder trial and outside the presence of the jury that Robair had been convicted of first-degree residential burglary in 2005.
That burglary conviction will be admitted as evidence during the sentencing, said prosecutor John West.
He said in an interview that Robair is facing life in prison without the possibility of parole. West said the crime was a brutal murder solely to steal a car.
Robair confessed to police two days later that he had killed Knapp, who was the father of three.
Jurors saw the videotaped interview, more than three hours long, between detectives and Robair, who could be seen weeping at the end of the interview.
Robair admitted to going into Knapp's SUV and stabbing him with a steak knife 13 times, dragging his body out and driving off with the SUV. Robair told detectives he had five beers on the day of the slaying.
Two days later, Robair was arrested in the parking lot of an Oxnard liquor store. In the SUV, police found the victim's wallet, checkbook, blood and two knives.
To save money, Knapp often slept in his SUV at the job site, his co-workers said.

CARLSTADT, N.J., May 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Jinpan International Ltd (Nasdaq: JST), a leading designer, manufacturer, and distributor of cast resin transformers, today announced the unaudited consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
First Quarter 2012 Results
Net sales for the first quarter were $42.8 million, a 43.1% increase from $29.9 million in the same period last year. The increase in sales was primarily the result of increased international and domestic transformer sales. In the first quarter, domestic sales accounted for $33.8 million, or 79.0% of net sales, compared to $27.8 million, which also represented 93.0% of net sales in the same period last year. Net sales outside of China for the quarter were $9.0 million, or 21% of net sales compared to $2.1 million, or 7.0% of net sales for the same period last year.
The sales of cast resin transformers (excluding those for wind power applications), switchgears and unit substations represented $31.9 million, or 74.5% of net sales in the first quarter, while wind energy products represented $10.9 million, or 25.5% of net sales during this quarter.
Gross profit in the first quarter increased 43.9% year over year to $15.8 million from $11.0 million in the same period last year. First quarter 2012 gross profit margin was 36.9%, compared to 36.7% in the prior year period, and 34.6% in the 2011 fourth quarter.
Selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter were $10.9 million, or 25.5% of net sales, compared to $7.8 million, or 26.0% of net sales in the same period last year. Selling expenses increased in the first quarter as a result of increased sales. Administrative expenses increased due to higher Research and Development expenses and increased salary expenses resulting from the Company's implementation of its expansion plans.
Operating income for the first quarter increased 52.6% to $4.8 million, or 11.3% of net sales, from $3.2 million, or 10.6% of net sales, in the same period last year. Net income for the first quarter increased 44.6% to $4.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, from $2.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the same period last year. First quarter net income as a percentage of net sales was 9.3% compared to 9.2% in the same period last year.
Mr. Zhiyuan Li, Chief Executive Officer of Jinpan, commented, "We experienced strong results in the first quarter of 2012 fueled by domestic and export sales growth. Our international business exceeded our expectations driven by a large number of customized transformers for wind applications. Sales in our domestic business increased 21.6% from the prior year period and are expected to continue to grow in the coming quarters.
While the design and development of customized transformers remains a major priority for Jinpan, the domestic market for standardized transformers also represents a very large opportunity for our business. Our expanded operating capabilities will enable us to have the capacity necessary to compete on quality and price with our competitors in China in the standard transformer market. With our expanding capacity, we now have the ability to go out and make a more aggressive push in this market resulting in greater sales and profits over time.
We expect sales growth to continue in the remaining quarters of the year. Our customer base has expanded by approximately 20% over the past year. At the end of March, our domestic China sales order backlog was $112 million compared to $102 million at the end of December 2011. Jinpan has become a more widely recognized brand name within the cast resin transformer industry, which enables us to participate in a greater number of industrial projects sponsored by private businesses and state-owned enterprises. With quality products, competitive pricing, efficient and growing manufacturing platform, and an expanding customer base, we believe that Jinpan will continue its record of sales and net income growth in 2012."
Balance Sheet
As of March 31, 2012, the Company had $12.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $24.2 million at December 31, 2011. The Company's accounts receivable on March 31, 2012 totaled $114.4 million, compared to $110.4 million at December 31, 2011.

Total bank loans outstanding at March 31, 2012 increased to $31.6 million as compared to $23.0 million at December 31, 2011.

New Brunswick, NJ (PRWEB) September 28, 2013
Helping alcoholics achieve sobriety is a constantly changing process. Drug Rehab Center New Brunswick continues to update its treatment program and provide the latest the methods to help alcoholics beat their disease. Each year, new information becomes available to treat alcoholism. The staff at Drug Rehab Center New Brunswick has always prided itself for staying ahead of the curve.
Drug Rehab Center New Brunswick addiction expert Robert B. says it's important for treatment centers to stay to maintain high standards of patient safety and help them adjust to life after rehab.
"Some of the techniques used at other facilities are out of the dark ages," Robert said. "It's important to learn new methods to treat alcoholics. We want their rehab to be as safe and efficient as possible."
One of the new techniques used to help alcoholics is engaging in activities. These activities can provide a positive distraction and can also help them focus on their rehab. Most of these activities are geared to bolster an addict's mental health. Physical activities such as exercise and yoga can also be beneficial.
"The activities are designed to get the alcoholic to replace their need to drink," Robert said. "Because no two alcoholics are the same, we can offer a wide variety of activities to appeal to their individual interests."
This new method is similar to Drug Rehab Center New Brunswick's pain management program. Although there are fundamental differences, the concept is the same.
"Whether it's detox, pain management or alcohol treatment, we're always trying to find new ways to help our patients reach their full potential," Robert said. "The days of using cookie cutter methods to treat every addict are over."

Research and development expenses of $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2007, remain the Company's largest expense and accounted for 64% of its operating losses.
As of March 31, 2008 we had $18.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, short and long term bank deposits and marketable securities. Our outlook of total cash usage for operating activities for the next nine month of 2008 is approximately $10 million.
As previously announced, the Company continues to receive interest payments from its auction rate securities, which all but two are rated AAA. However, due to the continuing uncertainty in the credit market, the company recorded an impairment of $300,000 during the first quarter.

Letter: What gives?
Joseph Xavier Martin, Bonita Springs
What gives?
The widening of the Panama Canal is an immense engineering project that rivals the early Egyptians' construction of the great pyramids at Giza.
We have a similar construction project here in Southwest Florida. It is called the widening of U.S. 41 between San Carlos Boulevard and Corkscrew Road.
It is not the same, you say? It is just expanding a few miles, adding an additional lane and widening one small bridge.
I have heard the same comments from the media while watching this project during the last three years. They seem to accept a completion date sometime this summer as an OK time frame for a completion date. If the pyramids had been built at this pace, the Egyptians would still be making bricks for the top levels of their tombs, these 3,000 years later.
And the Panama Canal, at this pace of construction, would still be a small swimming pool in the mountains of Central America.
What gives? Is no one minding the store here? Has no one ever heard of bonus and penalty clauses in municipal construction projects? This isn't the first road ever widened in Florida. Maybe it is the slowest, but not the first.
When we drive by the site we see a few solitary souls driving a loader or grader back and forth across the site. My grandmother could accomplish more than this with a broom and a shovel.
Maybe someone needs to give this project a little push with a size 12 shoe.

I am not a fan of this school. They push dress code over everything else. Even if a kid is deathly sick, they still push them to go to school or they will get into big trouble. They're is a lot of bullying that goes on there, but South Greene supposedly has a zero tolerance for bullying. Yeah right. The teachers even bully kids around. The only thing this school worries about is sports and a stupid and very strict dress code. Then they wonder why their test scores is so low.

The Alpha Got Rejected by His Mate
The summer at granpa's place was great. I had an awesome time with him. But now summer is almost over and Im unpacking my cloths from the summer trip from gramp's place and putting it in my closet. I cant wait to be done so I can go and greet Alex. Last time I saw him I confessed my love for him. I blushed deep at the memory.
! Flash Back !
I looked over at Alex. We were going to be in high school next school year. We wont be kids anymore.
Alex gave me a warm smile that made his eyes shine like stars. Me and Alex have been best friends since I bumped into during my first year of middle school. And I had the biggest crush on him. He was sweet and kind. He wore glasses and his hair was a messy nest. But thats why I loved him. He didnt care was people thought of him. He was a workaholic when it came to school but he had his sweet moments.
Alex was taller than me by a head. He has dark messy brown hair and behind those large glasses of his where stunning sky blue eyes. He wasent buff but he wasent scrawny either. And every time I saw him he had a book in hand and I found that absolutely cute. He was 2 years older than me. He may seem like the smart one but im the one who skipped 2 gradesXD. But still. He was amazing.
"Hey Sam arent you going to be late for you plain. You mom is calling you" He said looking over my shoulder. I turned around to see my mom wavy for me to get in the car. I sighed. My mom just totally ruined my moment of introduction. But who cairs? Its just my love life im dealing with right now-_-
"Oh...um..ya" I smiled sheepishly.
"So dont forget about me okay and if you can. Get me a good book. You know what I like" He winked causing me to turn into a red apple. OMG look what he dose to me!
"I-um...I wanted to tell you something" I said looking down at my feet. OMG what if he turns me down! Then what will happen to us?
"Ya spill his Sammy! Your mom is like sufficating over there waiting for you" He said chuckling a bit looking at my mom.
"I kinda of like you" I said rubbing the back of my neck and blushing. He looked a little taken back but smiled at me softly. I could feel my heart beating like a drum.
"G-good. I like you too" he said a faint blush on his cheeks but he was able to give me a smirk.Before I could gain control of my body. I crashed my lips on his. I was kinda of expecting him to push me off. But he wrapped him arms around my waist and kissed me back. I could feel my face turn red. I could have done this all day. But we were torn apart from each other. I looked up to see my mom smiling while she held us apart.
"You two can kiss all you want WHEN Samantha gets back. Right now if she dosent get in this car. I will cut all her hair off and drag her by her feet" My mom said still smiling. I gulped
"Okay Okay. Go into the car and ill be there for sure. Let me just talk with Alex" I said. My mom nodded and walked back over to the car. Right when she left Alex kissed me again this time he rested his forehead on mine and smiled.

How much more can Salinas stand?
I am appalled at this city's apathy of the terrible situation Mr. Castañeda has put us in. He is creating division between us and attempting to add costs to this city's already very stretched budget. How much of this will the people accept from him?
Teri Lawson-Helm
Castañeda should step aside
Recent events involving Jose Castañeda reminded me of another dark time in Salinas politics; the supervisor race in 1993 pitting two local popular Latino politicians to a run-off. During this time, neighbor was pitted against neighbor dividing Latinos and culminating in violent confrontations between supporters after local debates.
The bigger man decided to end his run for office to avoid further dividing his beloved community; a once in a lifetime leader.
This is the perfect moment for Mr. Castañeda take a lesson from that leader, redeem himself and make the ultimate political sacrifice by resigning from all political offices. A true leader is the man willing to do the right thing for the overall community both supporters and opponents. I pray Mr. Castañeda finds the courage to step away from the limelight, get his mental health in order, let Salinas heal and return to serve the wonderful people of Salinas.
Raul Sanchez
Stop being sheep
I just wanted to voice my concern over the motives behind the petition to recall Mayor Joe Gunter, after several failed attempts.
This ineptitude to even file the proper paperwork exhibits the ineptitude of both Castañeda and those misguided people who support this huckster. It is clear that Castañeda is using this political tool (which is going to cost taxpayers more money) as a means for both revenge and as a red herring, to distract the public from his own wrongdoing.
I have already voiced my anger at Castañeda's use of race, and not his illegal activity, as the motive behind Castañeda's troubles. Now Castañeda, and his backers, are trying to change the dialogue from his illegal activities, to an unwarranted recall of the Mayor.
If the recall was based on merit, I would praise those who were taking political action for what they felt was right. Sadly, in this instance, Latinos are acting like sheep: They blindly follow Castañeda, a power-hungry individual who does not care about the public good, simply because of the color of his skin. This is not a "brown vs. white" issue; it's a "right vs. wrong" issue.

Calke Abbey
Behind closed doors
Hidden away in a hollow within ancient park land, Calke Abbey appears to have turned its back on the modern world.
The telephone first rang in 1928 at Calke and electricity wasn't introduced until 1962. The often eccentric Harpur-Crewe family preferred a solitary life which excluded mod cons.
With a few exceptions, the desire for isolation continued through the family.
An isolated heir
The son of Sir Harry Harpur 6th Baronet and Lady Frances Greville, of Warwick Castle was known as the 'isolated baronet'.
Sir Henry Harpur became the 7th Baronet in 1789. He was destined for high society after being born into aristocracy. Instead he withdrew from society, a characteristic which continued in the family for the next 200 years. This solitary nature has shaped the house we see today.
The family man
Sir George Crewe 8th Baronet, returned life at Calke to the usual conventions of English upper-class life.
More outgoing than his father, he accepted his place in the life of the county. Sir George devoted himself to fulfilling his duty as a Christian landlord, family man and country gentleman. He was a great collector of art and many of the paintings hanging in the house today were bought by him.
A gentle tyrant
Sir Vauncey Harpur-Crewe 10th Baronet, was little seen outside the bounds of Calke Abbey. Much like his ancestors he preferred isolation.
He was kind to his workers but lacked in manners when it came to his own family. His passion was for collecting stuffed animals and when he died in 1924 there were several hundred specimens in the house. Discover how his passions shaped the house interior you see today.
Religious roots
- Calke Abbey stands on the site of a medieval religious house
- Calke Priory only lasted a few years as the canons moved to Repton
- Repton Priory was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1538
- But the canons had anticipated this and granted leases of Calke
- After passing through several hands Richard Wendsley acquired Calke
- He then sold the estate in 1585 to Robert Bainbridge
- His son sold the estate to Henry Harpur in 1622 for £5,350
- It stayed in the Harpur family until we began caring for it in 1985

New product: Logic Level Shifter, 4-Channel, Bidirectional
Level shifting is a common issue when interfacing multiple microcontrollers or other digital logic devices. For example, you cannot directly connect an Arduino running at 5 V to the Wixel, which runs at 3.3 V. Our Wixel Shield for Arduino contains several level-shifting circuits to help you do this.
In some cases, such as connecting a digital sensor output to your microcontroller, a simple voltage divider or transistor inverter might be good enough. However, in many cases a better solution is necessary. I²C, for example, is a common protocol that makes use of a bidirectional communication line. Luckily, a relatively simple circuit consisting of a MOSFET and two pull-up resistors can be used for general-purpose bidirectional level shifting:
|Schematic of a single bidirectional logical level shifter.
We have used this level shifter circuit on many of our breakout boards operating at a lower voltage, such as the MinIMU-9. It works like this:
- When Lx, the lower-voltage input, is driven low, the MOSFET turns on and the zero passes through to Hx.
- When Hx, the higher-voltage input, is driven low, Lx is also driven low through the MOSFET's body diode, at which point the MOSFET turns on.
- In all other cases, both Lx and Hx are pulled high to their respective logic supply voltages.
The circuit works for any pair of voltages (within the limitations of the MOSFET) and can be used with most common bidirectional and unidirectional digital interfaces, including I²C, SPI, and asynchronous TTL serial. You can read more about it in NXP's application note on I²C bus level-shifting techniques.
Today we released a logic level shifter board featuring four of these bidirectional channels:
Our board can convert signals as low as 1.5 V to as high as 18 V and vice versa, so you can use it for almost any logic-level signals that you might encounter in your project. It is also, as far as we know, the smallest bidirectional logic level conversion board out there:
Note the use of a more internationally-appropriate size reference than our traditional U.S. quarter. After we put together this image, nobody believed that the board was actually that small, but we verified it several different ways to make sure.
Anyway, with this board's small size, low cost, and versatility, we think it is something that everyone should have in their toolbox. For more information or to order, see the product page.

New product: A-Star 32U4 Micro
Today we released a general-purpose AVR microcontroller breakout board, the A-Star 32U4 Micro. But before I get to the A-Star (A* for short), I would like to mention some of our history with AVR boards.
Some of our history with AVR boards
|Original Orangutan Robot Controller (back view) from 2004.
It has been almost ten years since we introduced our Orangutan Robot Controller, which featured an AVR microcontroller, dual motor drivers, and user-friendly features like a display and buzzer. Over the years we expanded the line, making larger, more complicated Orangutans like the Orangutan SVP as well as the miniature Baby Orangutan.
I have used the Baby Orangutan in many of my own projects, because I like its simplicity and small size. Ironically, the built-in motor driver gets in the way when I want to use a newer motor driver such as the DRV8835 in a project, since valuable PWM pins are unavailable. So I have built my more recent robots using minimal microcontroller breakout boards without motor drivers, such as Arduinos and the Wixel. (I posted about my latest such project last week.)
Our focus has been on boards that include motor drivers, and we have not had a really simple microcontroller board for people who don't want the motor driver. Even though there are far more powerful controllers available, 8-bit AVR microcontrollers continue to be popular in the community, and the basic AVR breakout board is something we have wanted to make for a long time.
|Original Baby Orangutan robot controller from 2005 (left) next to A-Star 32U4 Micro boards.
Introducing the A-Star 32U4 Micro
That is why I am excited today to announce the A-Star 32U4 Micro, a Pololu breakout board for Atmel's ATmega32U4 AVR microcontroller:
|A-Star 32U4 Micro pinout diagram.
Compared to the popular ATmega328P microcontroller that we used on several Orangutan models, the ATmega32U4 is a newer processor with features like more analog inputs, more PWM outputs, and, most importantly, USB support. The USB connection, which we have broken out to a Micro-B connector, makes programming easy and enables interesting projects involving connections to a PC.
Also, since the ATmega32U4 is used on the Arduino Leonardo, Arduino Micro, and many other breakout boards, there is a large community with experience using the microcontroller. To support this community, we are shipping the A* with an Arduino-compatible bootloader and have followed Arduino conventions including pin numbering and LED connections.
Since we wanted to make a minimal breakout board, we decided to make it as small as we could, hoping that it would be small and cheap enough to go into (and stay in) almost any project. The result is that the A-Star 32U4 Micro is, as far as we know, the smallest ATmega32U4 breakout board available. It is even smaller than some AVR boards with less powerful microcontrollers that implement USB support in software and have only a few general-purpose I/O lines available.
|The Pololu A-Star 32U4 Micro is about half the size of an Arduino Micro.
Now that we have reached a reasonable extreme on the minimal end, we intend to expand back toward more integrated features, eventually replacing our older Orangutan robot controllers with versions offering more modern power handling and perhaps other features like inertial measurement sensors. What would you like to see in an integrated robotics or automation controller? Did we leave out too much on the A-Star 32U4 Micro? Please let us know in the comment section.

Paul's dead reckoning robot
This post is about my first-place entry in the 2014 LVBots Dead Reckoning Competition, a 150 mm round robot named paul-dead-reckoning2.88ec5df. I designed this robot to be similar to the 3pi, but larger, to leave plenty of room for wiring and sensor mounting. The central controller is an Arduino Leonardo, and (unlike the 3pi), the motors are equipped with quadrature encoders. Continued…
Higher-resolution pictures on the Pololu website
This week we made higher-resolution pictures available throughout the Pololu website. When we overhauled our website back in 2007, 1080p displays were almost unheard of, and we decided to show our pictures at a maximum width of 600 pixels so that they would fit on everyone's screen. Now, about a quarter of our web visitors have displays that are 1080p or better, and 600 pixels is looking disappointingly small.
It turns out that even though we were not displaying them, we already had many high-resolution pictures in our database. So, just changing the code allows some old pages to get a lot better! For example, this picture of our QTR-8A Reflectance Sensor Array was originally uploaded as a 1000-pixel-wide image – now you can zoom in and try to read the resistor values:
Screenshots were particularly disappointing before, since they are naturally high-resolution. Here is an example, an oscilloscope trace of some LC Voltage Spikes. Click the picture for the full, 1024-pixel-wide image. Note: the image gets resized to fit in the popup window, so you might have to click one more time to zoom in all the way.
We will be gradually adding new higher-resolution pictures, but are there any that you would like us to redo as soon as possible? Any additional views, like the bottom of a board, that you think we are missing? Please post a comment to let us know.
New distributors around the world
We are excited to welcome several new distributors that have joined Pololu over the past few months!
To start with, we have gained two new distributors in the United States. We have been following Adafruit Industries (New York, NY) for a long time – I remember receiving a SpokePOV kit as a birthday present back in 2007 – so we are particularly excited that they will now be selling some of our products. They are starting with the Zumo, which they featured in a recent new product video. We will also be distributing some of their products, such as the Adafruit Data Logging Shield for Arduino. Is there anything from Adafruit that you would like to see at Pololu? Please let us know in the comment section.
Anibit Technology (Cary, NC) is another new US distributor, founded in 2013 by engineer Jon Wolfe, who is marketing his own designs along with parts from Pololu and Adafruit. We are looking forward to seeing what else he will create!
Next, MiniRobot (Azcapotzalco, Mexico City, Mexico), joins a number of other Mexican distributors. They carry a large selection of parts, including many Pololu items, as well as Arduinos, components, and prototyping supplies.
Continuing south, we have a new distributor in Viña del Mar, Chile: Zambeca. In addition to carrying a number of Arduino, Lilypad, and robotics-related products, they have been posting some interesting-looking project videos on their blog (in Spanish). We have one other distributor in Chile, MCI Ltd – Olimex Chile, who has been with us since 2009.
We now have a distributor in China, ALSRobotBase, located in Harbin, Heilongjiang province. They have a whole "Pololu" category and are also offering to help customers in China with special orders.
Finally, Pimoroni in Sheffield, United Kingdom, is a new distributor specializing in accessories for the Raspberry Pi. They join a number of other UK distributors.
For distributors in your area, you can check out our complete list of almost 200 distributors.
New product: FPF1320 Power Multiplexer Carrier with USB Micro-B Connector
Here at Pololu we love USB and put a USB port on most of the microcontroller boards that we make. One of the lovable things about USB is that it provides a convenient power supply, but making good use of USB power presents a board design challenge: many of our products can be powered from either USB or an external source (e.g. batteries) and require a circuit to select between the two power sources. We call this circuit a power multiplexer, or just power mux.
A simple power mux like the one we use on the Wixel consists of a pair of diodes with a MOSFET that automatically disconnects the less-preferred power source. You can see another instance of the diode mux in the Orangutan SVP schematics (99k pdf). This works, but the forward voltage drop of the diodes can cause the output of the mux to be too low to power 5 V devices.
In the maker community, 5 V is very popular since it is the voltage standard used by numerous devices from Arduinos to Sharp Distance Sensors. Unfortunately for us, 5 V is not important for modern consumer devices like mobile phones, which operate at much lower voltages, so there is not much reason for semiconductor manufacturers to build the kind of devices that we need for good 5 V power multiplexers.
The USB power mux on many Arduinos uses a MOSFET, and does not suffer from the forward voltage drop problem, but it allows current to flow into the USB port in some situations, a potentially dangerous violation of the USB specifications.
So we were excited to find the FPF1320, a chip from Fairchild that implements a better MOSFET-based power mux circuit. The FPF1320 switches up to 1.5 A of current at 1.5 V to 5.5 V with an insignificant voltage drop, and it blocks reverse current into either of the sources. This chip seems like a great solution for USB power and other power-switching situations. Its tiny size, however, makes it inaccessible to most hobbyists:
|Three FPF1320 BGA parts (two with solder balls facing up) among grains of rice and components in 0603, 1206, and SOT-23 packages.
That's where we come in! We have made the FPF1320 available on a carrier board that breaks out all of its lines onto breadboard compatible pins and implements a minimal circuit to support automatic power switching. Our carrier board also breaks out a USB Micro-B connector to support USB power-switching applications. This diagram shows how the carrier would be used in a typical USB application:
|Typical connection diagram for using the FPF1320 power multiplexer carrier with USB as the preferred supply.
Power multiplexers are useful for more than just USB. For example, many devices can be powered by both batteries and an external power jack, with external power preferred when it is available. Our FPF1320 carrier can be connected to two non-USB power supplies:
|Typical connection diagram for using the FPF1320 power multiplexer carrier without USB.
Building a good power mux is a challenge, and the FPF1320 is not a perfect solution. One frustrating thing about it is that it is disabled (powered off) by default, and enabling it required us to build an additional power mux into the circuit! As you can see in the schematic below, we used the double-diode technique to drive the EN line high:
The diodes, unfortunately, take up more board space than the FPF1320 itself.
While typical applications involve USB and 5 V, our carrier is designed to work over the full range of input voltages supported by the FPF1320; therefore, extra consideration might be required to ensure glitch-free transitions between power sources. Specifically, we designed it to "prefer" one of the power supplies whenever it is present. The board will allow the preferred supply (and hence the output) to drop to 1.5 V or lower before switching, even if a better alternate source is available. Unfortunately, this guarantees that the voltage will always drop to below 1.5 V when switching from the preferred to the alternate source. The chip is capable of a seamless transition, and a more sophisticated application might involve monitoring the levels of both input voltages and switching in an intelligent way. You can also adjust the behavior to match typical applications using a few additional resistors or other components. Our carrier brings out the SEL line to make these kinds of modifications possible in your application.
For more information, see the FPF1320 Power Multiplexer Carrier product page.
Ping-pong ball collecting robot makes appearance at RubyConf
We saw this robotic ping-pong ball collector by Will Jessop on the Raspberry Pi blog a few days ago. The robot uses the Pololu 30T Track Set, a Raspberry Pi, and a lot of custom electrical and 3d-printed mechanical parts.
Apparently, Will plans to put his robot into service at the office of his employer, 37signals. This is exciting for us at Pololu because 37signals is the originator and a major sponsor of the Ruby on Rails web framework, on which our website is built. And although we did not attend this year's RubyConf, we are proud that some of our parts, as shown in the video above, made an appearance.
You can find detailed build information in Will's ping-pong robot blog posts.

Respond to Review of Kring
by RachelLouise
Review: I went to Kring 4 times on my recent 6-day trip to Sofia. It was close to my hotel, but I probably would have gone there a lot even if it weren't. I had the Hawaiian-style seitan, seitan in exotic sauce, and a vegetable pancake with tempeh. The seitan was possibly the best I've ever had. The Hawaiian-style seitan was really fabulous. The tempeh was also particularly good. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the "exotic sauce", because it contained seaweed and I don't like seaweed. The service was very good. When I went in the evenings, the waiter spoke decent English and was very helpful. The food arrived quickly. When I went at lunch with a group of 6 people, the waitress didn't speak much English, but she did her best to understand us, and was very friendly. We were impressed that she had managed to get our order correct despite all the language confusion. All six of us were happy with the food, too. It did take a while for all the food to come out, because they have a small kitchen and can't cook it all at once. It's located a bit out of the center of town, but it is really not that far, and definitely worth the extra few minutes. I wish I could have tried more of the menu items. The pesto pasta looked really good, for instance. It will give me something to look forward to if I ever go back to Sofia!

We are at the point where we have to replace my car. We are currently in BS2. However, we do have a larger emergency fund than DR recommends. Right now, we are on track to be debt free, except the mortgage in 5 months or less. The mtg should be paid off in under 4yrs.
I have narrowed it down to 2 vehicles.
1) A sedan that barely meets the space requirements of my family. I travel with my 2 rear facing infants and 2-80lb dogs 3-4x/week. Currently we have been doing it in a 2 door civic, so I know it is possible but less than desirable. However, this purchase will not derail us from the 5 month deadline. I should be able to get 3-5 yrs from this car, allowing us more time to meet other financial goals before getting a more ideal vehicle.
2) A minivan that would meet all of our needs, plus wants, and probably provide a solid 10-15yrs driving yrs. However, this would add about 3.5 months onto BS2.
Both are used cars and below KBB.
WWYD? What other factors do you consider when making such a purchase?

Bio-Based toner cartridges help reduce the impact on the environment by using a renewable resource.
(PRWEB) June 26, 2010 -- Laser and copier toners use over 146,000,000 gallons of oil per year. Bio based products are composed in whole or large part, of renewable agricultural or Forestry products, therefore, eliminating the need for petroleum products. The term bio-product is short for biomass product, and can be used to describe a chemical, material, or other product, derived from renewable biomass resources.
Elite bio-based cartridges contain a minimum of 39%, bio-based toner. Buying bio-based products helps the demand for existing agricultural products, and improves the environment by promoting the use of renewable bio-based resources. Now more than ever, we need to reduce our dependency on oil. Recent events, in the gulf, show the impact oil drilling and the use petroleum based products, have on our environment.
The Bio based product is tested using standardized test methods. The results prove its outstanding print quality. Life cycle analysis shows significant energy savings. The product improves the environment, by promoting the use of renewable based resources. This product is ideal for companies that promote green initiatives.
Currently, eight of the most popular cartridges for HP models, are available on our web site; www.GreatOfficeBuys.com. No modifications are required to your existing HP ink printer, in order to use this type of cartridge. As the demand for bio based toners increase, more models should become available after strict testing and quality control standards are completed. The cartridges are stocked currently, for HP products in 37 warehouses, across the United States. This assures fast and prompt delivery, from the East coast to the West. The

The need is clear. The votes are there. All that's required to pass a bill that will help some Alaska families with autistic children is for Rep. Wes Keller to let it pass out of the House Health and Social Services Committee, which he chairs.
The bill would require private insurance companies to cover early intervention and treatment therapies for autism spectrum disorders. Such coverage would do tremendous good for autistic children and their families. The treatments have clearly been shown to help children with a range of developmental disorders improve their behavior and their chances to stay out of institutions, attend school and live richer, healthier lives. Further, such treatment can cut later costs of special education and other needs down the road.
The alternative? As testimony showed, the alternatives were families financially strapped, separated and put under increasing financial, physical and psychological pressure in trying to do their best for an autistic child.
Pass Senate Bill 74, and life doesn't have to be that way for the families of about 390 of the estimated 2,600 Alaska children with autism.
The cost? An average of 31 cents per private insurance member per month, according to claims data from five states which have implemented the required coverage. Premium increases for employers who provide insurance are projected at $1.34 per month.
Those figures come from the office of Sen. Johnny Ellis, who sponsored the bill, which passed the Senate 14-5 and has 28 sponsors -- 15 Democrats, 13 Republicans -- in the House.
Rep. Keller isn't fond of mandates. Alaska has plenty of mandates for insurers, and they're common-sense requirements for the common good of Alaskans -- well-baby exams, which Rep. Keller has supported, and mammograms among them.
There's a reason that lopsided majorities of both the House and Senate not only support this bill but signed on as co-sponsors. It's a simple opportunity for legislators to do much good at little cost. That bipartisan support reflects an Alaska trait we've seen over and over through the years: Give Alaskans a specific good thing to do to help their neighbors, and they'll respond in spades.
Rep. Keller has the opportunity to respond here. The choice boils down to this: He can either recoil at mandates, or do something to make sure that fewer children "slip into darkness," as his colleague Rep. Dan Saddler said.
It's his call right now. Put more light into the lives of some of Alaska's stricken children, and he'll have something he can carry out of the session with pride. Shoot, he'll have something he can carry with confidence to Judgment Day.
BOTTOM LINE: Coverage for autism treatment is the right thing to do and the smart thing to do.

Tuesday, February 13, 2007
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA - The Home Depot Inc., the world's largest home improvement store chain, distanced itself further from the strategies advanced by former Chief Executive Bob Nardelli as it said Monday it will consider shedding its division serving contractors, homebuilders and other business customers.Its shares rose on the news. Some analysts said the decision to possibly sell Home Depot Supply could benefit the company by allowing it to focus on generating value for shareholders, while others suggested it could put the onus back on the company's retail side, where it faces tough competition from Lowe's. The announcement followed a decision earlier this month by the Atlanta-based company to give a seat on its board to an investment group that wants Home Depot to consider, among other things, a leveraged buyout of the entire company as a way to generate shareholder value. The group, Relational Investors LLC, had threatened a proxy fight over the home-improvement company's strategic direction, part of an undercurrent that led to Nardelli's resignation in early January after six years at the helm of the company. Frank Blake, who replaced Nardelli as CEO, said Monday's announcement regarding Home Depot Supply was part of a strategic review the company conducted in November. Nardelli had said repeatedly that he believed the company's strategy under his watch did not need changing. Home Depot said it may sell or spin off its wholesale distribution arm, Home Depot Supply. Blake said the company wants to concentrate more on its retail business. The company said it would ''evaluate strategic alternatives'' that could also include an initial public offering of the supply business. Home Depot did not say how much it could fetch for HD Supply, but some analysts valued it at between $5 billion and $7.5 billion. Analysts had mixed reactions. ''While we had long been advocates of the HD Supply business, the market never seemed to warm up to the strategy, viewing it more as a lower margin, lower return distraction from retail,'' David Strasser, an analyst with Banc of America Securities, said in a research note.
