On this date in 1923…
Yankee Stadium became The House that Ruth Built.
Fitting, perhaps, that the Yankees will be in Ruth's home town of Baltimore for the weekend, opening a three-game series with the Orioles. While they're there, some of the reporters who cover the Yankees are heading over to the Babe Ruth Museum for a tour.
If you've never headed down I-95 to 'invade' Oriole Park at Camden Yards, let's just say that there are plenty of Yankees fans who do. You should definitely put this one on your travelogue. It's a great ballpark and the Inner Harbor is quite nice for walking, shopping and eating, especially on a day as nice as this one.
Here are the pitching matchups for this series:
Friday: Phil Hughes, RHP @ Daniel Cabrera, RHP (0-0, 5.94)
Saturday: Ian Kennedy, RHP (0-1, 8.74) @ Brian Burres, LHP (1-1, 5.40)
Sunday: Andy Pettitte, LHP (2-1, 3.38) @ Steve Trachsel, RHP (1-2, 5.65)

What you described is a pretty common thing in young pitchers who have next to no experience at this level, and right now have no confidence in themselves or the stuff they are throwing. It's probably why Hughes can't locate his fastball with any consistency, and why he can't get his velocity up to the 95-98 mph range we know he can throw at. He's holding back trying to be too fine afraid of getting hit. Same situation with Kennedy as well, he is unsure of himself, and trying to be too fine. It's all part of the growing pains every young pitcher goes through. Does that mean they should go back down tho the minors? Absolutely not. At least not at this point, they have proven in the past they can pitch at that level, it wouldn't be helping them to send them at this point, they don't need to prove anything there.
With the shaky state of the starting pitching, and pen, I wouldn't be surprised if they might be thinking of moving Chamberlain into the rotation fairly soon, especially if things keep going as they are. There hasn't been a setup situation for him in a while to pitch in, regardless of his father's situation.
As for the offense, it's gone back into hybernation mode again, but what do you expect with three starters in the lineup ( Giambi, Cano, Damon ) hitting sub- .200, three players this team was expecting to be key players in the offense this season. That's pathetic!!!!! How much longer is this team going to let this go on? I'm not concerned,yet. I am, however, very concerned about the state of the offense. Changes need to be made sooner rather than later. Maybe changes might light a fire under this offense as it did last season.
No Runs, Our hitless wonders are still being shutdown again. We need hits in order to score runs. Averaging 4.5 runs a game doesn't cut it, especially with so-so pitching. Kennedy does look too much like Moose, I can't see why he does that crouch before pitching, Ohlendorf did good tonight. We are in desperate need of a good game from Andy Pettite. We're being shutout again, GAME OVER and playing sub 500 baseball. Get the bats ready, We need a big win/////
So I ask the same question with Ian that I did with Phil last night. Why are these guys so afraid of contact? I don't think you should pour it down the middle everytime, but it seems once that first guy gets on, they get frazzled.
That's too bad those runs get charged to Ohlendorf. He looked pretty good tonight. I've liked the way he throws ever since last year and I hope he continues to improve.
Moose a mentor? LOL!!!! IF this is the result of Mussina being a mentor, then they should get Kennedy away from him. KEnnedy looks too much like Mussina in all the wrong ways.

You're absolutely right joe, Hughes is a power pitcher who can generate 95-98 mph velocity, a true power pitcher. Just because he hasn't shown it yet doesn't mean he isn't one. He is still learning to pitch at the major league level, and still trying to get comfortable, and learning the nuances of the game. Once he learns how to pitch, and get comfortable, and start spotting his fastball on a consistent basis, you will see him let loose more.

Hi Guys and Gal,
I'm tired of 500..bal.
Here's a though, all I heard this off-season is how Moose been a mentor for the young pitchers. Maybe new Joe should keep him away from mentoring them so they can start pitching and not leasing to a guy who can't pitch to Manny.
Also, has anyone else noticed a recent trend for Yankee pitchers (and this includes relievers minus Mo) as far as putting hitters away? I mean in the last several years, it seems like few have had the stuff, guile, whatever it is to get that third strike. I'm not asking for a Roger Clemens juiced up 20 K game. I just mean pitchers who can throw quality pitches to get guys out with two strikes. Too many times we've seen nibblers or pitchers throwing TOO good of pitches. Think about it. We all talk about how great of a hitter Jeter is with two strikes, but his career average is .234. Arod is .223. Manny is .228. Papi is .207. You get the idea. Point is, no matter how good the hitter is, if you've got him at two strikes, he's on the ropes.
Yeah, we did HEAR about a 95+ fastball, but even from the first time I saw him he never had that. Obviously with his near no-hitter he doesn't need a ton of velocity, but he does have to spot the fastball as Matt said. I'd like to see him finish off a few more of his two strike hitters as well. I mean Moose lately has had trouble, but that's because he's got an 86 mph fastball. Hughes was consistently at 92 last night. With that velocity and a nice curve, he can finish guys off. Hopefully he'll learn. He's got plenty of time (no matter what we crazed fans want, heh).
Hughes never threw that had. He was 90-94 in the minors, and hes sitting there right now. He isn't a flame thrower.
Hughes hasn't been able to spot his fastballs for strikes consistently since coming back from his injury last season. He is still missing that velocity we heard so much about (95-98 mph). Like I said, I think he is holding back for some reason, maybe because he still isn't comfortable at this level, and won't let loose and let it fly.
Well, I think we all saw why so many of us have been critical, and nervous about Hawkins. Actually, it's been obvious for a while. He just makes too many of us nervous with good reason. Hawkins, and Farnsworth really make this a shaky pen.

Well at least my Rangers won. That gives me one less sports thing to worry about for a few days.
Now watching Hughes all of this season I have definitely noticed one major problem. He just won't throw his fastball over the plate. He really tries to get too fine when I haven't yet noticed him getting knocked around all that much. This outing shows it perfectly. He gets to the fifth inning and I'm saying to myself "hmm, he's pitched pretty well." I say that because no one's really hit him hard. But then he goes and gets behind hitters and walks some hitters and bam, he's got 5 earned runs. Arod's play certainly didn't help, but that basically just tacked on another run to the ones that would have scored anyway. Hughes gets enough swings and misses, he just seems to be too timid. Granted I always have to remember how young he really is, but I think it's something he's definitely gotta work on.
Not sure the Mets would be interested in a 5th starter especially if Martinez can come back and be an effective starter with Santana, Maine, Pelfrey, Perez. That's an effective, and fairly young rotation. If that doesn't happen the Mets still go with Nelson Figueroa. I doubt the PHillies want two old guys bringing up the rear in the rotation. They could always two of their top prospects in Joe Savery or Carlos Carrasco.
I'm thinking the Mets or Phillies! To join either Moyer or Hernandez or Martinez! But, if he gains control of the fast ball or loses it entirely?
Don't mind pitching inside to Manny. Just wish it hadn't been the meathead Farnsworth to do it. Considering no Yankees pitcher has been able to pitch to him successfully over the last 30+ games as he is hitting .460 against the Yanks, it needed to be done.
No one said Mussina was done, just don't think he has enough to get through the season like he failed to do last season. Also he has shown no ability to put a "great" game together at all. He has put together ok outings, but has shown no ability whatsoever to go deep in a game, which isn't good news for the pen since Hughes and Kennedy haven't shown that ability either, that's 60% of the rotation which means this team will be leaning on the pen, once again, and could possibly risk burnout early in the second half of the season. Last I looked this team was second in the AL in IP by bullpens.
I seriously doubt a 39 year old pitcher like Mussina would have much trade value either, especially for another starting pitcher or prospects.
Another thing I'm liking Betamit more and more, as long as he is on the DL that is!!
Farnsworth missed his spot which was six feet over Manny's head!! The only other people I see grumbling about it are all members of RSM. Are you a spy?(big smile)
I hit the Babe Ruth Museum every time I am in Baltimore. I just really enjoy going through and watching the movie!
Agreed, and honestly I hate Manny but he actually ran on both home runs and it wasn't Farnsworthless' problem. Thankfully Manny didn't start a brawl but I kind of wish he broke Farny's neck with his bat, he would have had a legit beef and we'd be done with him. We're a class organization employing a classless talentless bum who can throw heat and get hit really hard. I like Wilson Betemit better than Farnsworth now.
Throwing that pitch at his dome just made him a crappy pitcher with a crappy attiude. Why is he still a Yankee? Kyle Farnsworth is an asshat.
We do need to get Hughes going. I'm not liking what I am seeing from him so far. His velocity and location are abysmal. He needs a good start to get his confidence back. I would like to thank Farnsworthless for making us look like a bunch of bush leaguers by throwing at Manny. Here's a thought: STRIKE HIM OUT!
Weird weekend. There is no place to move where I live because of the whole pope thing. It's cool to have the pope at Yankee stadium. I think I'm Jewish though (it goes by your mom right?) I liked this whole series against Boston because of all the rallies. Even when the Yankees were losing or tied or whatever…they rallied. There was good situational hitting. Farnsworth's pitch was so not by accident although he likes to think it was. And speaking of Farny…where was that Kyle we saw last night throughout the rest of the season. Boy if that guy shaped up this team would be rolling.
Get well Mr. Chamberlain!!
Moose is not "done". He certainly is hopping around on the last toe of his last leg, but he is still a better number 5 starter than about 90% of the number 5's chucking it from the bump for everyone else. That said, we needn't panic and start trading prospects to get some veteran starter to fill the 5 slot in the rotation. We need to allow for some (not alot) of growing pains. I agree with Elfman here, Moose will settle in when he gets slated back into that number 5 spot. We'll be fine. The guys are scoring runs now, so maybe (just maybe) we will get back to how we were throwing the first week of the season, and then put it all together. That said, any trades this year need to be for a clear setup reliever. I don't want to see Joba in the pen in 2009.

Just because Mussina started the second game and thus fell into the second spot in our rotation he is not our #2 starter. He should still be capable of an occasional very good or even great start like he had in Cleveland last August!
He also should have some trade value in July when teams will be looking for adjustments to their rotations. It's probable we'll have to eat part of his salary, but he may be attractive to the Mets or Phillies. If we get no starter in return (very likely) we have the option of moving Joba to starting or a promotion from SWB or both!!!
I think Francessa just put Moose into perspective. He's got enough to beat most teams, but definitely not the Red Sox. I agree with you Matt. We all kinda knew what Moose was going to bring. I don't think ANYONE was saying "you know what? He might win 15 this year." We all knew he was going to be hit and miss. That's why even if you put Hughes up in that spot it would have been better. We have no clue what Hughes is all about. Honestly, we won't even know after this year. If he gets lit up in the #2 spot, then he takes his lumps and chalks it up to experience. If he thrives in that spot, then he might be ahead of schedule. Either way, putting Moose there didn't really do much.
Also doubt he has much left in the tank to be a starter the entire season, he barely made it through last season. Wouldn't be surprised to see him replaced in rotation sometime during the season.
Mussina is very close to being done. He is nothing more than a #5 starter, it was a huge mistake to make a pitcher like him a #2 with Pettitte's injury, as we all see. Mussina's problem as a pitcher is if he isn't on his game he is going to get smoked, it's going to be even more important for him to be on his game once teams see him for a 2nd or 3rd time ecause he has nothing to fall back on.
ttvine, you comments make it sound as if the yankees are the only team with this issue. fact is, every single team in MLB needs more pitching, and to make it worse there really arent any good options out there right now as far as proven pitchers. There might be a name or two available at the trade deadline, but thats a long time from now.
Either way, I would much rather see some youthful pitchers with talent and upside than some washed up veteran pitcher on multiyear year . Besides, if Ian, Joba and Phil keep progressing, we're going to be just fine.
Of course, with all of that said, if the Yankees somehow land a good starter this year then welcome to the long relief role Moose! But for now he's fine in the fifth spot.
Like I said in the last blog, I don't think Moose is "done." I think he is done as far as being an above average pitcher is concerned, but he can still be used as a successful 5th. He's at the point in his career where his bad days are going to be worse than they use to be, but that doesn't mean he won't have good days. I think he's still got a few of those left. I think the biggest thing for the Yankees is to get that rotation set correctly with the off day. Moose has actually been pitching in the #2 spot because of Pettitte's injury at the beginning of the season. That means he's been facing pitchers who are clearly better. If he goes against the other fifth starters in the league he, and the Yankees, will be much better off.
the yankees have bigger issues then this series.
they need pitching,we all knew that coming into this season.
mussina for one thing is done.his fastball has become a slowball.he can't seem to find away around his aging arm.
the yankees can't afford to wait to long,they need to trade mussina or let him go,but they need another pitcher.
if the yanks want to win,thats one area they need to address now ,not later.the bullpen is another issue.
good pitching stops good hitting.the way things are going at the moment ,i don't see the yanks taking the east or getting into the playoffs at all.
Looks like this series could go 2 ways. If the kids find their form we could sweep. If not, Petitte will have to stop a sweep.
Never mind, this uncertianty is the price we pay for future success.

Great lecture and presentation, Thank you Carol
Very good hands on workshop, congratulations for Carol and sponsors. Thanks a lot.
I am reviewing missing archives.

Hello just taking Carol lectures.
Thanks Carol
Thank you.
heard about this class from emails from design news
good walk through ... but if this was a board layout class I would like to start more with theory or at least philosophy / design guidelines, industry standards, checklists etc ... gets back to whether this class is about LED's or PWB's -- I think you are touching on or alluding to the right issues as you go along ...
pad size can matter for some manufacturing houses or even in general. Surface mount in particular but even in through hole boards, over sizing a pad too much may mean the pad becomes a heat sink and the solder joints are less than desired. I have had some occasions where plastic packages have been thought to take on moisture, and the reflow process for surface mount does not get the pads or leads up to temperature specs and bad solder joints occur. Some IC manufacturers warn against this ...
there are checklists online and often from your prototype house that help in layout not only for good design practices, but for manufacturability (DFM) / assembly and to take into consideration testability
glad to see footprint guidelines, a good start for DFM
Thank you Carol!
In my experience DesignSpark is nice and simple, after Expedition PCB it took me just about 30 minutes to figure out the main flow of its GUI.
Knew about class from CEC
Is there any DRC options to be covered?
Expedition PCB, PADS,
Hello from Oregon, good to have an archive option, it is way too convenient.
Howdy Achived people!
Ive been following the classes since the beginning

Very good presentation
Been here almost 2 years. Rod. R.
good course.
Any certificate of completion ive never received one?.
Thank you
Good course.
I heard about the class from the digi-key website.
@Rob - on DN web page...
Great teacher.
@Rob - used Eagle for a hobby project
I see, there is a new flash player today... hopefully it works in FF for live audio.
Missed the live session again...
Thanks, good session
Kenstan, just look up the archived version, the program is long gone, and the host has left.
i have missed quite a lot
what is the lecture time now
Yes, I'm willing to resort to Linux for some things, if I have to, I just prefer not to.
thank you
Right, of course, sorry I didn't mean to get in the platform discussions---just pointed out that it's easy to get things running on a MAC.
Thanks everyone for joining our class today presented by Carol Lenk. We look forward to seeing you all at tomorrow's class. Carol will talk about finishing the layout.
It is really annoying how quickly failure to find cross-platform solutions for something as simple as a presentation file rapidly degenerates an education session into a platform war. :P
when is the time now
See you tomorrow, Carol.
Great discussions, all. See you tomorrow!
Macs have command line terminals. You are giving up on pretty buttons for no reason. Regardless, this is about finding solutions to problems, not about which platform is better.
@Tenacious, anything Linux will compile and run on Mac, just might not have pretty buttons. I am totally cool with that, in fact I prefer commandline input, even with GUI programs---I find it easier to type Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V than hunt menus with mouse. Want my program compiled? Generate a new set of Gerbers/RS274? I type 'make' :)
@przemek, You're right on!
@Carol, slide 6 from the first day says 'The HV9910DB3v.3 can supply a maximum output current of 900mA to drive LED strings from a 9VDC to 30VDC input.' I think you're right that the demo board has a 35V cap on input which limits Vin. Just checking.
Gerber files are not drawings. So there's no way to note that in Gerber files. If you have a mechanical drawing with tolerances specified, definitely send that along.
przemek, the question was if there was any CAM software for Mac. Plenty of solutions for Linux, but...
@przemek Sounds like you can mill your own PCB with a CNC. I think they have hobby CNCs for $1k now. But not sure if they can hold the 10 mil tolerance.
Carol, could you not note it appropriately as another hole (arrow, tolerances) in the fab drawing?
@jenriquez, You can actually import any board outline shape, including cutouts. Or you can draw it, and right click, change shape type to board outline, and that's it. This is much easier in DesignSpark than Eagle.
The EMC2 aka LinuxCNC community is a good resource for CAM, and there are several CAM postprocessors to CAD packages like QCAD and FreeCAD.
Yeah, the CAM stuff hasn't come over yet.
I would specify the required tolerances in the "manufacturing file", a text document with all the specs.
@Tenacious Yes it's getting better. I've played with some open source programs for solid modelling and they're pretty good, But hard core technical programs or custom technical programs to control particular machines tend to be PC only.
Having said that, I used KiCAD and GNU PCB myself
Yes, but is there a correct way to specify it in the PCB document?
On Linux a lot of Windows software simply works via Wine emulator. LTspice is a glorious example: Mike Engelhart makes sure (i.e. tests) under Wine, but a lot of other software installs and works just fine. I haven't checked DesignSpark but I will.
@Tenacious I would check with your board manufacturer to see what their routing tolerances are and see if that's good enough for your application. Holes and slots may be different tolerance again. And be careful if it is size or alignment that is more critical.
Is it possible to have non-circular drill holes for parts in DesignSpark? As an example, when using power jacks in Eagle, I have to place two adjacent drills because of the shape of its terminals.
It's getting a lot better these days, Carol. Eagle, Rhino, and lots more. SketchUp was practically Mac first. XD
I long ago gave on wishing for technical software to be available on Macs. That's why I still have a Windows XP machine.
Carol, this may be more of a question for tomorrow... when specifying the dimensions for your finished board, what is the correct way to specify the mechanical tolerances of the routed edge? I need a board to fit into a very difficult holding slot in a case.
"No Mac or Linux version" is a SERIOUS DesignSpark limitation.
There are a lot of pluses for DesignSpark. But as someone pointed out, Eagle can be used on Macs.
Carol -- Thank you! See you tomorrow.
thanks Carol!!
Don't take my word for it. Always check on the datasheet. Not sure where you saw the 60V, but HV9910 should be able to do world wide voltages. Maybe 60V was for the demo board?
Also note -- no time limit for DesignSpark. It is missing some TI MU's I use -- but maybe I can import the Eagle Version from TI -- there is library import.
Seems very worthwhile after very short eval.
DesignSparks does not seem to have any limitations -- at least for my purposes -- multi layer -- boards to One Sq meter -- unlimted components -- modifiable library etc.
thanks for the live (and working audio) this was great.
Thanks Carol. Your rule of thumb for increased pad size is a good idea.
Design News email (took previous classes)
What are the limits on DesignSpark? Does it stop working in 30 days?
Today's program is now available as an archive.
I found this through a Design News email.
Apologies if it was covered and I missed it but what is the range of input voltages to the HV9910? One of the slides implied that it takes up to 260V so it could be fed from rectified worldwide AC, but another slide listed Vin max 60V
Thanks Carol.
Thanks Carol and Rob. I activated DesignSpark a few days ago and still trying to test drive it. maybe on the weekend.
See all tomorrow.

Recommend installing OpenOffice---the PDF would not have slide notes which Carol uses for supplemental info.
We're now on slide 20.
Rob, Since not everyone has MS Powerpoint or may not be able to install the free Powerpoint viewer (IT locked down machine for example) please distribute the Slides as a PDF file.
Digikey, some Mouser, occasional Jameco, rarly others
We normally oerder from Digikey, Farnell and Mouser.
We're now on slide 19.
hand soldering is important. be nice to the rework and repair guys (and girls).
We're now on slide 18.
"drawbridge"??? You mean "tombstoning".
Is 'drawbridge' the same thing as tombstoning?
Hello all from Tucson
Order from Digi-Key and Allied (better selection of transformers and heat sinks)
My friend, you have to improve the class room. It is not user friendly.
@Rob: our purchasing department makes the selection of vendor.
60% DigiKey, 30% Mouser, 10% other
Digi Key of course
digikey, farnell
most work and personal orders are from you know who... Digikey!
SURE Digi-Key
who ever can supply them quickly
Order components from Digikey and Newark so far. May add others that specialize in some lines --- better pricing.
We're now on slide 17.
Digi-key they have the best way to find components
Mouser, Digi-Key
Mouser & Digi-Key

Thanks for the tip, clicking on the DN Audio bar several times got the audio on for me!
the .ppt should really be a .pdf
Listen; the issue is not about whether I have OpenOffice or not; the issue is that the Powerpoint format of the slide document generates errors if you open it in anything OTHER than Powerpoint. we should have a document in the correct format to open it flawlessly in whatever we chose to use.
I switched to Chrome and it is working so far.
First time I've had audio issues also. Though refreshing gets it back for a while.
We're now on slide nine.
on the DNaudio bar, at the top; clicked the 'pause/start' several times. audio finnally stayed on.
Forgot that I have also used Caydence only one that required a PHD to understand.
We're now on slide eight.
Yes having that happen to me. First time I ever had audio problems.
Can refresh audio returns and back out??
you're right. the audio bar IS different. tech support trying to fix the problems?
I have never had audio problems before. Same issue with the red bar.
Audio is working fine on my IPHONE browser.
audio is 100 % better than all previous days combined.
i.e. it is finally working live for me.
No audio problem . Internet Explorer 9 Browser. Miami by the way
missed the first two minutes...Now I'm really lost in the design of the circuit..
might have better results on arcieves.
I'm still having no audio problem on Chrome but it went out completely on Firefox and MSIE.
Looking for a program, haven't used a package before.
Audio fine here, slides are in color and look good, I understand the material and my Pepsi is cold. Life is perfect! :)
Audio keeps droping out. Slidea are messed up.
Same here - audio is absolutely atroucious!
No audio problems here in Colorado.
Anyone else notice that the DN Audio bar (above Carol's picture) has a different appearance today? Whenever the red progress bar reaches the right edge, the audio starts buffering, the puase icon appears and I have to manually click on it to restart the audio.
this sesion audio is bad. never have problems before, just today.
I keep loosing audio. This is a very bad system.
Have had no problem with the audio yesterday or recently but am having no audio after the opening announcement at 2pm EST today...........
I have used PCAD, OrCAD, PADS (my all time favorite) plus a few others long out of business. Currently use Utiliboard at work and Eagle at home. Designspark looks interesting, but I am always worried about long term support/availability. I have a bunch of boards I can no longer update because the CAD package is no longer available/supported.
We're now on slide six.
refresh restarts audio then dies after 2/3 seconds.......
@Tenacious Techhunter Go to openoffice.org and download Open Office. It will look at and edit all MS Office formats except .pptx. It will do .ppt though.
goodafternoon, everyone
We're now on slide five.
Kelleyrn - yes audio has started, try browser refresh... or turn on the speaker?
I get blocked by my IT
Firefox has been bugged over Flash for months now.
Have used microPCB wrote this one myself, Great Southwest, Orcad, Pads
Yes the presentation is on now and there is audio.
There is audio. Works fine in Safari.
Is the presentation on now? Is there audio?
Where can we go to get details on the pads to ensure that what I pick matches with the part data sheet?
i have never had audio problems until today,
(do not want the chroma browser)
We're now on slide four.
I meant the alternative to Powerpoint's format, which generates errors in anything other than Powerpoint. PDF or whatever Open Office uses would be better.
I have used PADS and PCAD where it was bought by the company
Express PCB and PCB123
have used Orcad in the past.
Currently worh with Cadsoft Eagle
altium, pads, eagle, cadence
I had trouble with audio on IE and Firefox on one computer but Google Chrome works fine.
Now-- Allegro, Expedition, Sigrity, SiSoft
in past lives -- Orcad, Pads, PCAD
We're now on slide three.
Orcad Capture for Schematics
Allegro PCB Editor for layouts
I'd rather pay Eagle for their full version than to waste that money buying a copy of Windows. At least with Eagle, my money is being well spent on product development.
ExpressPCB, DesignSpark, Utiliboard, Orcad
HiWire, Eagle,
If you lose audio, you might try using the Chrome browser.
pcad, altium, allegro, cadence
Currently working with EAGLE.
PCB123 Sunstone
The alternative to "PowerPoint" is Oracle's OpenOffice suite. It's free.
hi all,
maybe the question should be 'which one have you not used '
Used Eagle -- now DesignSpark looks better.
I have used Xilinx and pspice
wow, the audio is working for me today.
I see that a different graphic is being used for the player.
Thanks, this helps alot.
Just lost audio...
audio is only lasting 20 seconds, then it is dropping out.
ahhhh got audio !
@DaveWR, I agree, I need a larger size board and can't pay for the Eagle software out of my pocket.
Why we do not have some music to know where are we?
Good afternoon, sunny and 54 in northern Minnesota.
The package is free.
No limit on board size.
It's multi-layer
It's easy to use.
What's not to like at that price?
Ok, Mr Rod Spiegel I just already download the slide!!. That is the way to teach this class?
good day to all from "sunny" edmonton, ab
Hello from Alabama
How is the weather in The Capital of Canada?
hi from ottawa ontario
Also, it's been 6 months, and STILL no alternative to the Powerpoint deck?
I was a bit disappointed in yesterday's class... I would have prefered a general purpose "Approaches to using PCB design software". It is lousy to have a class on such specific PCB Design Software that is PC only when you could have one on Eagle, which is more widely used and cross-platform.
There is a slide deck you can download above this window.
Are we there yet?
How can I have video information for this class?
Hello again.
Good afternoon folks.
Hello from Arizona
Hello from cool Wyoming
Howdy from Fort Worth, TX !
Hello Everyone
Hello from SUNNY Miami ?????
If you right click on the audio bar from yesterday it SHows JW Player now as being an alternative
hi all
HI from Sili Valley - downgraded Flash and audio worked in FFox yesterday, done with that buffering.
good morning all from Edmonton, AB
Helllo from upstate NY
Using Chrome, but still get buffering continuously.
Hi ALL
Try accessing the class through the Chrome browser. Those using Chrome don't seem to have any problems with audio
Hello from Toronto.
Hello from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Trying to catch the live audio today. Have not had much luck the last two sessions.

Hello to all
Good Morning from Silicon Valley, CA.
I don't want miss...
Howdy folks, from the beautiful Missouri hills!! :)
Good Day from Mobile, AL
Hello from Sunny SE Lake Simcoe, Ontario Canada.
Missed yesterday -- got DesignSpark package -- caught up I hope.
Package looks good.
Curious what should be done when different manufacturers of the "same" part have slightly different suggested footprints, which are sometimes both different than the one found in IPC documents.
Looking forward to this one.

Two unexpected things cropped up whilst I was planning today's trip to Framfield and Blackboys.
Firstly, I was going to get the train to Uckfield (and walk or get the bus) but when I checked the train times online I found there was engineering work this weekend and I would have to catch a replacement bus.
Normally this would be the end of it and I would find somewhere else to go, but because of the route and starting point of the replacement buses it was actually quicker taking the replacement bus (by 44 minutes).
This must be the only time that a rail replacement bus service has actually been quicker than the normal rail service!
The second unexpected thing happened when I googled 'framfield monumental inscriptions', and this blog came top of the list! I was surprised to say the least, but I guess I shouldn't have been, it is probably not a very common search term and I am probably the only one writing about them.

CORTEZ � The Montezuma County Board of Commissioners last week filed an official appeal against the U.S. Forest Service�s travel management plan for the Boggy-Glade landscape.
Concerned that the plan would sharply decrease acreage open to mountain bikes and motorized vehicles, the county added its voice to the chorus demanding the Forest Service put on the brakes.
�I believe we are all comfortable with the appeal,� said Keenan Ertel, referring to the trio of commissioners. �From my standpoint, I�m hoping the Forest Service will recognize this has been a flawed process from the outset.�
To incorporate last-minute complaints into the appeal wording, the commission held public hearings Wednesday and Thursday. Dozens of pro-access residents � supporting motorized and mountain bike access � turned out along with small-government conservatives who abhor federal meddling.
Dolores Town Manager Ryan Mahoney spoke up in defense of the plan, calling it �a good start.�
�My main message to the commissioners was that, (by appealing), we�re essentially delaying economic progress,� Mahoney said Friday. �As a town, we supported this version: Alternative D. It supports a variety of user groups and is a reasonable approach to management.�
Specifically, Mahoney is worried that the appeals and resulting deliberations by the Forest Service will stall a planned 7-mile trail stretching from the downtown Peoples (Old Dolores) Cemetery to House Creek Campground. He said Dolores would proceed constructing its end of the trail and assume the alignment will stay consistent when a Forest Service plan eventually is passed. The idea behind the trail is to showcase the shoreline of McPhee Reservoir � �an underutilized asset,� Mahoney said � and create a recreation loop that doesn�t require driving a car to get to trailheads.
James Dietrich, the county�s public lands coordinator, outlined nine appeal points Wednesday morning. After the constituent input, three more were added.
Among them: inconsistencies with the county comprehensive land-use plan, inadequate and ambiguous scientific data showing that motorized cross-country travel disturbs habitat and watersheds, confusion about 30-foot and 300-foot dispersed camping rules, difficulty in enforcing motorized game-retrieval allowances and opposition to �ripping and berming� as methods of road closure.
The county is requesting that the Forest Service eschew Alternative D in favor of the �no-action baseline alternative,� or to reverse course and continue coordinating with the county to iron out disagreements.
The appeal period has ended.
Dolores District Ranger Derek Padilla, who wrote the decision, said he had received 11 appeals from individuals and advocacy groups, along with the county commission.
Padilla now has 45 days, starting Monday, to try settling the appeals through informal agreements. If unsuccessful, the appeals then are sent to a review team of Forest Service personnel from Region 2.
The review team would give recommendations to San Juan National Forest supervisor Mark Stiles, who can accept them or make revisions. As the appeal deciding officer, Stiles reserves the authority to uphold the plan or remand it to address deficiencies.
If appealing parties still object to Stiles� decision, the matter goes to litigation.

Their parents decided to do some nighttime spying and watched from a short distance as their toddler picked the lock with precision.
He even hides the fingernail clipper he used and quickly grabs the goods.

An Aiken County jury on Thursday found David Rosier Jr. guilty of voluntary manslaughter in the November 2012 shooting death of 20-year-old Donnie Davis.
The verdict came late on Thursday afternoon. Rosier, 45, who was originally charged with murder, was also found guilty of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. He was sentenced by Circuit Court Judge Doyet "Jack" Early to the maximum 30 years in prison.
Assistant Solicitor Kevin Molony, who prosecuted the case along with Assistant Solicitor David Miller, said the jury was given the option of finding Rosier guilty on the lesser charge of manslaughter.
"Malice and forethought are the main difference," Molony said. "It's murder without malice, meaning heat of the passion. It was an intentional act, but ... you didn't have the hatred, the evil in your heart."
Davis died in a home at 56 Church St. in Bath on Nov. 10, 2012, from a gunshot wound to the chest. A pathologist testified he also suffered multiple cuts on his face and defensive wounds on his hand from a physical altercation before.
Earlier on Thursday, Rosier took the stand in his own defense, telling the jury he only went to the home on Church Street that night to make sure his son Josh, who had bonded out of jail earlier that day for other charges, didn't get into more trouble.
"I about had them talked out of going," David Rosier said, adding that he, his son and several other people in the car that night circled the home once before deciding to stop and enter it.
David Rosier said there were never any plans to fight or rob the people inside the home that night, and that Josh Rosier wanted to go over there after having a conversation with his girlfriend, Brittney Cook. Josh Rosier was going to confront Russell Blackmon, who lived at the home.
Rosier's testimony conflicted from that of his son, who told the court on Wednesday that his father gave him a knife on the way to the home – the same knife his son used to cut Davis repeatedly before he was shot.
Rosier said he stood near the entrance of the home as his son entered and confronted Davis, who was on the couch in the living room. Josh Rosier threw the first punch, and the two began fighting. While that was going on, Russell Blackmon retrieved a .357 revolver, which he reportedly pointed at Josh Rosier, then David Rosier.
Rosier said he felt his life was in danger, and when Blackmon turned to look at the conflict between Davis and the younger Rosier, he struck Blackmon. Rosier said the gun went off while he and Blackmon were struggling with it, with the gunshot hitting Davis in the chest.
Rosier told the court about how they left the scene and went to a home in Augusta belonging to a family member of the girl who was driving the vehicle that night, and how he sold the revolver to a man while at the home.
"I didn't have any idea the young man (Davis) was shot," he said. "I was still in a state of, 'How in the world did this happen?'"
Rosier maintained that he'd never met Davis until the night of the shooting. When asked by public defender Wallis Alves if he felt betrayed by his son, Rosier said no.
"He knew I didn't want him to get in any trouble," he said. "It never was supposed to be about the young man sitting on the couch."

Priority boarding now available on all European flights
So that Business Class passengers, HON Circle Members, Senators and Star Gold card holders can enjoy even more relaxed boarding, priority boarding will be available to them on all European flights. Priority boarding enables them to board before all other passengers, which means that they can calmly stow their carry-on baggage*. An announcement will inform passengers of the new service before they board.
The aim of this service is to make travelling with Lufthansa as comfortable as possible for our passengers and to eliminate queuing times when boarding.
Quick Boarding
When you are travelling with etix® - Lufthansa's electronic ticket - and have received a boarding pass with a barcode, you have the option of boarding your aircraft quickly and conveniently with this boarding pass. Just use our Quick Boarding machines at selected gates at Frankfurt, Munich, Dusseldorf, Cologne, Hanover, Hamburg and Bremen!
How 'Quick Boarding' works
Place your boarding pass, with the barcode face down, onto the scanner. After a short verification, the gate will be released. If your seat has changed at short notice, the Quick-Boarding-Gate will print out a new coupon with the latest details, which you can pick up as you pass through.
On-screen display of the waiting list directly at departure gate
Are you on the waiting list for a flight? At Frankfurt, Munich and at selected departure gates at Hamburg and Hanover airports you can check your waiting list status on monitors. This way you neither have to check it at the counter nor wait for the loud speaker announcements.
As soon as a seat number appears beside your abbreviated name on the monitor you proceed directly to the Quick Boarding gates and insert your boarding pass. After passing through you will receive the boarding pass stub with your seat number
*= With Lufthansa, families with small children are able to board the aircraft before all other passengers – including passengers with priority boarding. This also applies to passengers with reduced mobility and to passengers with a disability.

I don't mean Lebron, CP3, Kevin Durant big 3, make it somewhat realistic.
Mine would have to be CP3, Melo, and Blake. I think it is possible to happen, it just won't. What's yours?
Paul, Blake and DJ.
REALISTICALLY, in terms of it happening and cap space my big 3 would be Griffin, Paul, and Lance Stephenson.
Stephenson is like Bledsoe and Lebron (without the muscles lol) in shooting guard position. He has so much explosiveness, can finish amazing at the rim, has good court vision, and can rebound the ball. AND the dude has a jumper and some CRAZY ASS handles!
Stephenson is annoying and always tries to make the dazzling play rather than just the smart play. He is going to get paid tho.
At times yea, but he has so much time and room to grow and mature. He is still 23. Besides, he leads the league in trip-dubs, that has to say something. He ceiling is really high, I know the dude can be something special.
Besides this is all about being realistic, ^. I of course would choose Lebron or KD but that doesn't seem likely at all LOL. And Melo would be amazing too, but he'd be asking for too much money.
We don't have that atheltic freak we need, Stephenson is just that. And he is selfless and will make that extra pass when the opportunity is there. Besides doesn't Crawford kind of "dazzle" too? lol, a little dazzle isn't bad.
He maybe annoying and try's to make the dazzling play (which he does a lot), but with that said he's really friggin good and should have been an all-star. Indiana would be dumb not to resign him.
Blake, CP3, Marc Gasol
Maybe I'm not being realistic, but I think it might be possible to get Lebron in a sign and trade deal.
CP3, Lebron, and Blake as our big 3 with DJ, Redick, and Jamal as role players.
Who are you going to tempt Miami with in this S&T while making the monies work. Good luck.
Paul, Blake, DJ lol.
I will take DJ over Stephenson 100 times out of 100.
CP, BG and Ant Davis or CP, BG and Noah.
CP, TD (Prime), BG
10 peat team.
My dream starting 5 that is somewhat realistic: CP3, a healthy Redick, Parsons, BG, DJ.
I can't seem to have a dream big 3 that would put CP3 and Blake together. These 2 play very well together, but I just don't think they'd reach their full potential playing with one another.
Blake needs the ball more so he can dominate down low, and once double teamed, can kick the ball out to shooters. He ain't getting that much opportunities when Paul is ball dominant and loves to have control of the game.
Paul needs a good shooting big so the pick n roll would be unstoppable. Blake's shooting improved, but it's not good enough to be used frequently and efficiently.
So who'd you keep - CP3 or BG? I know, as unpopular as the belief is, that I'd take Blake over Chris in an instant. Imagine having a lineup of like DC/JJ/LBJ/BG/DJ... that would be a pretty imposing starting 5, and not impossible to happen. All Blake needs are guards that can cut/shoot, a perimeter shot creator (James), and a defensive protector that can cover his ass, and give some pretty slick outlet passes (DJ). LBJ/BG/DJ would be my favorite big 3. If there was any possibility of nabbing Noah, then I could live with a CP3/BG/Noah tandem.
CP3-BG-Noah... Imagine the playmaking
Paul George... And this is unnecessary writing because i can't post without it
I agree with you keeping BG instead of Paul, however that's only because he's having a better season. CP3 is still the better player.
If I keep BG, then probably Rondo and DJ
If I keep Paul, then it's with Aldridge or Love, and DJ
CP3/BG/Noah sounds nice, haven't thought of that.
BG, Bullock & Willie. Duh!
Me myself and Irene
paul blake and cousins would be scary.
No matter how you think about swapping CP3 for Rondo is a huge downgrade and I will take BG over Aldridge and Love 1000/1000 and really neither are better fits. In fact, Rondo is a worse fit cause he is equally ball dominant but can't shoot for crap. Aldridge loves chucking jumpers but can't go inside(not as many easy assists off dunks and layups) and BG's jumper is improving. Love is interesting but he can't guard a garbage can.
Really don't see the point lol and no Cp3 and BG are a as good of a fit as two ball dominant superstar would ever be. In fact, they are a better fit than Lebron and Wade. A small and a big combo has been a recipe for success in the past.
Third trio would be nice.
Scary in the sense who would get the most technicals, lol. Cousins is overrated, along with being pea brain bully. Ugh.
To quote Chris Paul, "He just needs guidance." Defiantly not overrated. You cannot questions his talent. If he was on a winning team with some vets and a respected h.c., i doubt he would act the same way. It is frustrating when you have to beat the other team and refs by yourself.
I also would love to see that blake cp3 and noah combo, but noah is too injury prone imo.
Another one would be Lillard, Blake and A.Davis. I really like how Lillard pulls the trigger when he is open for 3 (the one knock i have on CP3). really opens up the offense for the team.
Paul, Blake, and Anthony Davis would be ridiculous.
They're definitely the best duo right now. I was just saying individually they'll never reach their full potential playing together since their games don't complement one another. My list was made just so that either Blake or Paul can use their skills to the fullest. Rondo may be bad choice, switch him with Lowry/Wall/Curry lol.
Same argument for Lowry and Wall basically a poor version of Cp3. Maybe Curry would be better since he is the better shooter. Maybe.
Wait. Are we trying to maximize Blake or win a Championship?
Replace CP with any other PG and we take a step back. PERIOD.
You can't spell Champs without CP.
This is a strage post. A Big Three helps but is doesn't make a dynasty. You need five plus. Showtime Lakers had a roster of good players. Later they had Horry and Fisher. The old Celtics and any incarnation of the Pistons had a team. Miami has the Big Three but also Allen, Birdman and Battier. House helped. So did Udanis. We are fine as we are. LeBron wouldn't fit unless we dumped CP and started Collison, Melo wouldn't fit. He needs the ball. Healthy this is arguably the best team in the league. If Granger isn't used up and JJ is healthy I don't care about changing anything if $$ permit. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Well.... the title says DREAM big 3 so I'm going with CP3, Blake, and Lebron... but... if Granger can get back to what he use to be I'm fine with that for a realistic big 3. Add DJ and its a big 4.
I got 4 -
CP3,Blake,and Noah
CP3,Blake,and Paul George
CP3,Blake,and Kawhi Leonard
CP3,Blake,and Klay Thompson
I love watching George,Leonard,Klay and Noah play.All 4 play great defense but still give you offense and can move the ball.I think each would play great with Blake and CP3
I really like your CP3, Blake, and PG one. Would be a high-flying team, while amazing defensively!
Indiana got rid of granger to make Paul George their dude... I think granger will make a comeback I'm high in the dude
Paul Griffin Granger
Davis' numbers are much better when he plays the 4 spot, so him and BG might not be such a good combo, at least not for a few more years.
That's my Big 3 right there.
CP3, Blake, Anthony Davis.
That team would be so ridiculous. Anthony Davis is Deandre but better in every aspect of the game and he's younger and a much better defender. He's a future superstar.
I like the trio of CP3 LeBron and Blake... But dream on, that ain't happenin!
Dream Big 3 is what we have minus Duds and Plus KD, but that's not going to happen.
I think what we have, just have DJ make another jump improvement wise. Granger resign and show more of his All-Star capabilities. Then we combine DJ and Granger to make the third part of our Big 3.
Doc considers DJ a part of the big three. Leading the league in boards and fg%, I think rightfully so.
It's kind of chicken and egg though, because Doc got DJ playing at that level partly by putting that idea in DJ's head.
The cause might be a tad illusory, but the results are very real.
Well whatever has pushed DJ to that next level, it truly makes VDN look completely incompetent.
Noah and DJ are sort of the same player in my eyes.

Thank you for interesting presentation
Yes - I am considering EH application
Interested in solar and piezo types of energy harvesting
Hello from Oregon
Thanks Randy
I havent thought of combining any techniques
Concerning slide 9 I imagine the length of the beam is relatede to the frequency of
max power harvested
you mean slide 8 not slide 13 right?
Currently I am involved a very little with RFID tags these use
energy harvesting to power the response to a query from a reader device
Looking forward to this one
Hi picking up a few missed lectures
@Chuck - yes
Thank you, Randy!
@Chuck - no, have not concidered combining (yet)
@Chuck - solar battery powered sensors
Great to have access to the recorded sessions...
Missed the live lecture...
Thanks Randy and Chuck for today's session. I wasn't aware of the options for energy harvesting. You've opened some new thoughts and potential opprotunities.
I'm considering energy harvesting for future products to reduce battery consumption.
interested in harvesting existing energy in the environment.
no energy harvesting applications right now. wireless energy transfer/harvesting is interesting to me.
Thanks Randy; excellent presentation
Energy Harvesting Techniques have made a remarkable leap forward during last years
We have no energy harvesting project at this time
thank you Randy,
also interested in very low power microcontrollers, sensors and peripheral interface chips
interested, studying and evaluating available energy harveting techniques in solar, TEG, vibration, electromechanical, piezo and RF fields
interested in energy harvesting apps and storage
Thanks for today's presentation, Randy.
No, not cosidering a project right now.
I am interested in vibration, electromechanical and RF energy harveting techniques
Interested in remote/wireless sensing and building automation.
Not involved in energy harvesting now.
Thank you for the class
Thank you. I'll take a look.
That's going to do it for today.
Thanks for listening,
For solar applications, there are some nice chips that automatically limit current to keep operation in the most efficient oprating zone for the PV cell (MPPT). But they seem to be very expensive, and not widely stocked. For example, the LTC3105 is $3.33 at 2500, but only 419 in stock at Digi-Key. Do you know of any good chips that are inexpensive and available enough for consumer products?
Some info provided at teh following link but I do not know if the MPPT is part of their capability:
Strange. I did NOT just send that. I sent it 3-1/2 hours ago.
Good morning. Enjoying some rare RAIN here in southern California. Looking forward to hearing about energy harvesting.
@Chuck Yesterday you asked about suggestions for new classes. Energy harvesting is really interesting and would make a great week long topic. Thanks for including this today Randy.
Do switches like the one shown on slide 12 require a lot of force to operate?
They replace a typical wall switch so the force cannot be excessively greater but they most likely require a little more effort to achieve the snap action.
Nothing at this point.
Solar is the most cost effective means of Energy Harvesting currently. PVs have a 40-year head start!
TEGs and Piezos will come down in prie as they hit economies of scale.
For solar applications, there are some nice chips that automatically limit current to keep operation in the most efficient oprating zone for the PV cell (MPPT). But they seem to be very expensive, and not widely stocked. For example, the LTC3105 is $3.33 at 2500, but only 419 in stock at Digi-Key. Do you know of any good chips that are inexpensive and available enough for consumer products?
The MEMS thermoelectric harvester would have to be connected to a hot and cold reservoir. How is this done on a MEMS scale?
The heat exchanger actually is about the same size as a bulk TEG in products that I have seen. The big advantage of the MEMS TEG is similar to MEMS sensors: the wafer level processing can provide consistent, high volume production and a ongoing cost reduction.
The TEG is usually thermall connected to the heat source and the other side is exposed to the cooler ambient air & uses a heat sink to create the temp differential.
Some systems use the temp differential a heating system warm air in the heat plenum and the cooler ambient air of the environment. The reverse could also be used.
Also the differential between hot and cold pipes in a hot water heat system...
The key is the thermal coupling for many of these applications.
Is there any applications of these device on the medical area?
I know many suppliers have proposed usage in medical applications to keep portable monitoring systems running longer in between charges.
Thank you for today's lecture
yes fpga's
Do switches like the one shown on slide 12 require a lot of force to operate?
Thanks! Nothing definite at the moment, but this will give me something to think about.
Yes. Would likely be a hybrid system with multiple harvesters
Not right now, but good to know the possibilities. Thanks
Thanks Randy and Chuck.
Thkx Randy, Chuck.
No, still studying and evaluating available energy
@Chuck - Yes, electromagnetic vibration, TEG.
Yes we are considering EH.
Thanks Randy!
I have some midnight engineering projects that could use these types of applications.
Yes considering EH systems; Great presentation thanks
Thanks for the great lecture!!!
Considering developing an indoor light harvesting product.
I don't have a current need for energy harvesting but lt's very useful to know about it for the future
Not currently considering EH apps but am interested and in information gathering mode. Thanks for the presentaiton,
Thanks very much...
THanks Randy.
Not at this time, possibly in the future.
@Chuck: no plans for energy harvesting application at this time.
Yes. We are very interested in integrating EH with smart sensors.
YES, Thanks Randy & Chuck!
thanks randy and chuck
Yes, considering an energy harvesting application. Solar.
Super interesting! Thanks! Not considering an EH app now, but want to keep informed should one come up...
No energy harvesting project right now.
I am considering an EH appl.
not currently
EH application? not yet, but great info.
thanks, great lecture
Great could of used this 20 years ago.
Yes, considering EH apps.
Thanks, Randy.
Combination of energy sources for harvesting is a great idea, maximizing effectiveness. Perhaps solar and human motion combination would be a useful pair.
we tend to focus a lot on vibration for our purposes
great stuff. thanks
The piezoelectric and solarmodule is interesting.
Newer Universal Energy Harvesting Kit @ Digi-Key:
More info at:
Vibration and solar
I want to read your patent app JSP
I'm interested in harvesting energy from quantum singularities.
Focusing on vibration and thermal; from our plant equipment
This is a really useful slide!
molecular resonance...
Most likely source for energy harvesting in my area is thermal or solar.
piezoelectric technique from a vibration source
Which ever harvest makes me the most $$$.
I am most interested in electromechanical and solar EH.
two probes in a lemon 8^)
When you suck all this RF energy from the air, is that why my cellphone doesn't work ?
Looking for solutions; vibration, thermal, solar, RF,.... Anything that can provide power for wireless data aquisition of production equipment.
Have played with solar, piezioelectric and vibration in experimental apps.
Temperature sensing
None at the time, but have had an interest in applications where there are physical issues with conventional wiring.
Working on a solar powered ID communication device as a home project. Interested in other technologies for background info.
We are interested in harvesting energy from railroad track. We have battery powered sensors that are connected to the rail and being able to harvest some of that energy would give our sensors longer life.
Medical Monitoring
Bldg Automation & Security
Body Area Networks
Interested in vibration(mechanical), thermal, soloar in human application
Interested in energy harnessing through human motion, be it cycling or walking.
not involved for the moment
@Chuck: no energy harvesting projects at this time.
Magnetic induction
Interested in TEG
Sound Level A-OK now
Sterling engine....
got sound by pressing the start button at the left side.
Stick a human on a bicycle generator and you're gona get more than 25uW/cm^2.
reseting, reloading, right clicking did not work.
clicking a bunch of times on the triangle play button finally gave me the audio.
The Volume level even at 100% is much lower than normal.Can be heard clearly just at a much lower volume level.
try clicking play button a few times
i don't even get the "blog talk radio"
Also electromagnetic (flywheel magnet) as an energy harvesting technique.
I found a thing to the right of the DN audio red slide rule and timer that turned the speaker icon on finally
I have no audio. Is it on?
reset reload , but will the audio work.
Good afternoon Randy - had to switch over to Chrome to get audio
the audio no work to day.
Thanks, had to take off my pop up blockers and hit it several times
yes, audio is on. Refresh the page and press the play button on the DN Audio bar at the top
Had to hit refresh several times and the start button to get audio going.
@ JackO-07
keep trying, it will come on
Anybody got audio yet?
Right click on the DN Audio bar, select ABOUT ADOBE FLASH PLAYER and allow pop-ups.
No audio yet
The information on sensors has been new and a good review.
try refreshing and hitting start a few times
Has the audio started yet?
I am not having as much trouble today as yesterday
My copy of yesterdays still does not work.

DENVER � Gov. John Hickenlooper said media outlets took him out of context when he told a U.S. Senate committee this week that he drank hydraulic-fracturing fluid.
The comments struck a nerve with environmentalists, who have become increasingly frustrated with the governor for � in their eyes � ignoring the potential pollution from the widely used technique of extracting natural gas and oil.
Hickenlooper testified Tuesday to the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources about Colorado�s regulation and promotion of natural gas. He repeated a story he has told often in Colorado about meeting with Halliburton executives about a rule to require companies to disclose the chemical makeup of their frack fluids.
�We sat down with executives from Halliburton. They have a frack fluid that�s made out of food additives. You can drink it. We did drink it around the table, almost ritual-like, in a funny way,� Hickenlooper said.
He went on to say that Colorado wrote its rules to protect Halliburton�s intellectual property.
�If we were overly zealous in forcing them to disclose what they created, they wouldn�t bring it into our state,� Hickenlooper said.
The comment drew fire from Conservation Colorado.
�We�re astounded that Gov. Hickenlooper would use a national platform to give the impression that frack fluid is safe for public health. The industry has a track record of misleading the public about the fact that its fracking fluid contains numerous toxic chemicals,� said Carrie Curtiss, the group�s deputy director, in a news release.
Hickenlooper defended his testimony Thursday, saying news reports ignored the context of the discussion about intellectual property.
�It wasn�t intended as a political statement. It was intended as a description of the honest efforts the industry�s trying to make to have an industrial fluid that is totally harmless to the environment,� the governor told reporters.
Halliburton is not using the safe-to-drink frack fluid right now because it�s too expensive, he said Thursday.
�I don�t think there�s any frack fluid right now that I�m aware of that people are using commercially that you want to drink,� Hickenlooper said.
Video from his testimony shows Hickenlooper did not mention that the safe frack fluid was not being used in Colorado because of cost.

Ludwick contemplating offer
It was another quiet Winter Meetings for the Reds this week. Here's an update however. My main wrap will be on Reds.com shortly.
*A two-year offer remains on the table to OF Ryan Ludwick.
"The agent said he spoke to Ryan last night and he's still contemplating some things I guess," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said.
The issue is not the length of the contract. But with all of the money being thrown around this week, especially at outfielders, things have gotten more complicated.
"It's affecting a lot of things," Jocketty said.
*I've heard the Reds are not the frontrunners among the teams vying for infielder Jack Hannahan. If I hear anything on that, or anything, I will keep you posted.
12 Comments
I felt bad for not knowing who Jack Hannahan was… until I looked him up. I'd imagine that the Reds would only want a man with his talents as a backup infielder, but apparently someone is offering him a starting/platoon job. You don't think that would be Cincinnati, do you? Wouldn't make much sense to me. https://twitter.com/MLBastian/status/276354027002949632
I am becoming more content with signing Ludwick and being done. I like the team and most of these options arent worth the money or prospects.
I think that ludwick signing or not is the linchpin of the entire reds offseason. If he signs the reds can use assets to get a lead off hitter and maybe a pitcher. If he doesn't they have to use them to plug the gap in the middle of the order he will leave.
If Ludwick doesnt sign then make an offer for Stanton that Florida cant refuse…
Nice Pipe Dream Bigblu
I know, but if the Reds and other teams can pry a young talented pitcher then why cant the same thing be done with a power hitter. Maybe the power hitters will be traded away next year. Last year was the year of the pitcher trades, this is apparently the year of leadoff hitters in trades. This is just weird.
If Ludwick doesn't stay, we boo him next year.
Wow I really dont want Fowler and I am hoping that this is just speculations… I think he is extremely overrated with his Coors stats. he would be a slow Drew Stubbs in GAP. And I hope more than anything Walt holds on to his top four pitchers (Cueto, Latos, Bailey, and Arroyo)which is the best pitching group in baseball right now.
I like the Alejandro De Aza from the White Sox idea… http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/12/white-sox-could-trade-viciedo-or-de-aza.html
