STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
In a move that may foretell a coming of age for Animas High School, Executive Head Michael Ackerman announced Thursday that the school will be moving from its current home in a bedraggled former strip mall on north Main Avenue to bucolic Twin Buttes during the summer.
In a phone interview just minutes before signing the final paperwork with Twin Buttes, Ackerman said the public charter school had tried and failed to move every year since its 2009 opening and that it occasionally felt like �this day would never come.�
Ackerman announced the move in the Rochester Hotel�s garden before a crowd of giddy parents and students, hailing the tolerance of Dan Hopper, AHS�s erstwhile landlord, noting that when the school first opened, it did so �without a certificate of occupancy for the first three days.�
Though news releases had promoted the event as a mystery announcement, Ackerman acknowledged in an interview that it was common knowledge AHS was bursting at the seams and that its contract with Twin Buttes was the �worst-kept secret in Durango.�
Ackerman said there were many reasons AHS needed to relocate, noting the school�s highway location often meant noise. But the big reason is student enrollment, which has expanded.
Whereas this year the school has 234 students, it already has registered 304 for next year.
Ackerman said its maximum capacity, as determined by Durango Fire & Rescue Authority, was 260, �and I don�t know how we�d fit that many, it�s so tight as it is.�
The school will move to Twin Buttes during the summer. Come September, AHS students will occupy two 12,000-square-foot temporary buildings that currently are �being prefabricated in Denver� and are destined to arrive here by truck in the coming months.
In the meantime, AHS�s board is securing funding to construct a permanent building on the Twin Buttes property.
The school will hear if it won a $13 million BEST grant in June.
Ackerman said the catch to winning the BEST grant is that �we�d immediately need to have our financial matching dollars in hand at the end of the year and break ground in spring,� meaning the new building could be completed within 18 months.
While that�s a dense, if not wishful timetable, Ackerman said AHS might win a later round of BEST grant funding, and if the state Legislature still fails to secure funding for programs that benefit AHS, �we�ll be going on a $10 million capital campaign all on our own, dependent on our donors.�
At Thursday�s announcement party, Ackerman said the move filled him with �an overwhelming sense of joy, accomplishment and admiration.�
He reminded parents that it was only a few years ago in 2008 that he was visiting them, �making balloon animals, saying, �I�m not creepy. Come to Animas, to a school that doesn�t really yet exist!��
While charter schools became something of a craze after No Child Left Behind altered public-school funding, most national studies have found that despite increasing �school choice,� charter schools tend to tie and even underperform in comparison to public schools.
So far, this hasn�t proved the case with AHS, which, like many Durango School District 9-R schools, uses a project-based learning model.
According to Colorado School Grades, which issues report cards to schools across the state by grading their performance on a curve, in 2012, AHS improved its score from a B- to a B. Durango High School, the largest school in the county, went from C+ to a C.

1. Get up, Get Ready - Terry Evans
2. One Good Woman - Doug MacLeod
3. Dirty Ground Hog - Joe Beard
4. Too Proud - Mighty Sam McClain
5. Country Girl - Pinetop Perkins/Ronnie Earl/Willie "Big Eyes" Smith/Calvin "Fuzz" Jones

"I recommend getting this sampler first; there are some great Blues tunes on this that AudioQuest Music never released separately on SACD. I consider this one of the most important SACDs ever released. Great blues in some of the best sound I've ever heard, every track is a treasure. If you only get one blues sampler this is it. Once I heard this sampler, I purchased all the full SACDs that were available, about half of the recordings were never released on SACD. "
- Teresa Goodwin, Positive Feedback
"The majority of these tracks were recorded in the mid to late 90s, and the disc was a popular sampler among dealers of Audioquest products. All the music was recorded in the analog domain direct to two track tape and the SACD was mastered by Bernie Grundman. Two thirds of the material is by the original recording artist while a few others are from blues legends like John Lee Hooker and "Lightning" Hopkins. Both electric and acoustic blues are represented and all the tracks are first-rate in terms of the sound quality—as I said this was probably used as a demonstration disc at quite a few hi-fi stores—low noise, great dynamics, very realistic.
As a compilation goes there isn't a dud in the mix. The first track by Terry Evans preaches and pronounces his revival rendition of the blues—a great choice to start the disc off. Mighty Sam McClain's "Too Proud" is one of my favorites on the sampler. It's intense, powerful and sincere. This track is probably the most accessible song to non-blues listeners as well. "Country Girl" is what some might term a country blues tune with matching vocals that get down and dirty. The Bruce Katz Band may not have a bluesy sounding name, but can these guys play the blues. The harmonica smoothes the way for impressive piano prowess—singing, sliding and swinging! Robert Lucas is no stranger to the blues scene and proves it with his playful plucking. Lucas is HUNGRY: sniff, sniff—you'll understand when you hear the music. All in all a great introduction to some modern blues artists with a superlative recording."
-Brian Bloom, Audiophile Audition

Stetson rallied from a 2-1 deficit in the match and erased a 6-1 deficit in the decisive fifth set to post a thrilling 3-2 come-from-behind victory over visiting UNF 3-2 Friday night at the Edmunds Center.
Behind a school-record 28-kill performance by senior Kaley Melville, the Hatters (9-5, 1-0 Atlantic Sun) won by scores of 25-23, 18-25, 23-25, 25-20, 15-12 to win a conference opener for the first time since 2007.
"UNF is a good team, but I was really proud of our girls for winning this," Stetson head coach Tim Loesch said. "I don't feel like UNF gave it to us, they fought hard and played well, but I was proud of our girls for playing just a little bit tougher and a little bit better on this particular day."
Other career-highs for the Hatters included freshman Tiffany Creamer's 19 kills, sophomore Kayla Weller's 57 assists, and freshman Madison Akins's 19 digs.
"We were down 2-1 and things weren't quite going our way," Loesch said. "The girls bought into not looking at the scoreboard, just focusing on each point, playing it they best they could, and that helped us win the fourth set. That gave us some confidence and some momentum going into the fifth set."
Trailing by five early in the decisive set, Melville's 26th kill of the night got the Hatters going. After cutting the gap to 8-5, Stetson rattled off six straight points to surge ahead by three. Ellen Hawks had two blocks during the stretch, including a solo block that put Stetson ahead to stay.
"We started off a little shaky, a little nervous I think, but we weren't going to lose," Hawks said. "That comeback was everyone making the decision that they had energy, that they were going to work hard, and do the little things. It was a mindset that we were going to win, and just everyone having that mindset really made the difference."
Creamer then helped seal the victory, slamming down three of the final four kills including the game-winner from the front left side.
"For a freshman to get 19 kills in her first conference match is amazing," Loesch said about Creamer's performance. "For a lot of it it was against a double block. She was up there twice where she was with just one other hitter, so other team pretty much knew where the ball is going, but she still found a way to be successful."
Melville finished with 13 digs to go along with her 28 kills, a school-record in the rally scoring era. Her first nine kills all came in the first set, and she finished the contest with 57 attack attempts.
"I really liked that the captains accepted their role today," Loesch said. "Today we needed Mel to step up and hit some more balls and she did it. We needed Ellen to block and draw the block from the opposing team and run some different sets that she doesn't normally run. They led by example and by word and the girls followed their lead."
Kayla Weller also recorded a double-double (57 assists, 10 digs).
The win was Stetson's first in league play since 2011, snapping a 21-match A-Sun losing streak.
Winners of eight of their last 10 games, the Hatters will look to go 2-0 in A-Sun play as they host Jacksonville at 3 p.m. on Saturday.
Notes: The previous rally scoring era kills record was held by Kira Smedley (27 kills vs. Flagler, Nov. 7, 2002) ... Melissa Roy's 31 kills vs. Jacksonville (1996) is the overall school record ... Ellen Hawks finished with five blocks and Michelle Kastner added 16 digs ... Stetson hit .245 for the match ... The Hatters improved to 6-0 at home and 8-1 when winning set one.

Before there was Moneyball, there was Davey Johnson.
One of the many things that stood out to me when I read Gary Carter's books over and over and over in the late 1980s and early '90s was his disdain for Davey Johnson's computers.
Carter, the catcher for the Mets during the glory years, very much liked Johnson, the manager for those great teams. He just didn't like Johnson's computers, his printouts or his penchant for hunkering down in his office and using stats to prepare for games in the hours leading up to first pitch.
"Davey Johnson had come up to manage the Mets from their Triple-A team in Tidewater after the '83 season," Carter wrote in his book, 'The Gamer.' "Davey managed by the numbers…literally. He was a computer whiz who could pull up more baseball statistics on his screen than most of us knew existed. I liked Davey, but I didn't care much for his computer.
"Not that there's anything wrong with having all the latest stats available, but it's tough to quantify qualities such as 'heart,' 'desire,' and 'intestinal fortitude.' Moreover, Davey's computer might dutifully report that a player went hitless in four at-bats but totally miss the fact that all four outs were hard-hit balls or long fly balls just inches away from being home runs."
Carter's sentiments were in line with most baseball insiders back then. Constructing a lineup was based mostly on a player's batting average and how he fared in the past against the opponent's starting pitcher, and not much else. Sure, there were debates about where players should hit in the order and how valuable — or wasteful — a sacrifice bunt was, but for the most part, baseball analysis was not something that necessitated the use of a computer to help crunch the numbers. Or so the "experts" thought.
Times have changed, obviously. Johnson's insistence on including computers into his daily routine wasn't kooky, it was innovative. He was ahead of his time not only as a manager, but as a player, too. Apparently, his mathematics-minded approach to baseball dates all the way back to the 1960s, when he played for the Orioles.
Johnson's motives were simple: he was hitting seventh, and he wanted to be hitting second. He needed to come up with a way to convince manager Earl Weaver to move him up, so he came up with a computer program designed to back up his philosophy. He presented it to Weaver as a way to, as he put it, "optimize the Orioles lineup."
It was a tough sell. Weaver liked matchups. He liked using his hitters who had the best numbers against that day's pitcher in the middle of the order, regardless of how they'd performed over the course of the season. If an MVP-caliber player had poor numbers against a specific opponent, chances were, he was going to sit that day. Other than that, Weaver's favorite thing to do was rely on his pitching and defense, and wait for the long ball.
Johnson, who obtained a mathematics degree from Trinity University, was a formidable challenge for Weaver. Johnson wasn't the prototypical, cookie-cutter ballplayer — he was smart, and he was curious. While finishing his coursework at Trinity University, he took a computer class at Johns Hopkins University, just for the heck of it. It was during that time he had lunch with an engineer-turned-author named Earnshaw Cook, who left an immeasurable impression on the numbers-minded Johnson.
Cook, also a professor at Johns Hopkins, had written a book called "Percentage Baseball." In hindsight, it was sabermetrics before sabermetrics. It was also rebuffed by a baseball community unwilling to embrace Cook's oddball philosophies that suggested the best hitters should bat first, that sacrifice bunts were wasteful and relief pitchers — get this — should start games and then be replaced by a pinch-hitter when it came time for his first at-bat. Starting pitchers would then enter the game and pitch the next four or five innings. This, Cook argued, could tack on another 25 wins for a team.
Cook's theories piqued the interest of a few people, according to this Alan Schwartz feature — Tal Smith, a young, up-and-coming executive with the Astros and self-proclaimed stat nerd, Ewing Kauffman, owner of the Kansas City Royals, and Johnson.
While Johnson didn't follow Cook's philosophy to the letter, Cook's views gave him some level of validation as he worked on his computer programs to solve baseball riddles.
Now it was just a matter of convincing Weaver. Johnson would take his giant optimization printouts, generated from his oversized computer, and present them to his manager.
"Earl, do you know what the standard deviation chart is?" Johnson recalled asking. Weaver's response was dismissive, but Johnson plowed on. The standard deviation chart, Johnson explained, requires a larger pool by which to make judgments, to be able to predict with a plus or minus five percent. If you flip a coin five times, you might get five heads. If you flip it 500 times, it's more likely to be half heads and half tails, or close to it.
"Six at-bats doesn't really give you a good way to predict," Johnson told Weaver. "There's more things involved."
When Johnson started managing, he developed a program to obtain data from the opposing manager to gauge hitters' tendencies and to determine what counts were more favorable when a manager decided to hit and run. He pored over stats to determine the best possible batting orders. He viewed his computer as "another coach, with a better memory than me."
As a player, Johnson and his theories didn't get very far with his manager, and as a manager, his players disregarded his computer with a flippant wave. He didn't get far with his own teammates, either. He recalled watching pitcher Dave McNally struggle to hit the inside corners during one particular start. Between innings, Johnson said to him, "You're in an unfavorable chance deviation."
In other words, stop aiming at the corners. Aim it down the middle, and you'll hit the corners.
Predictably, that particular bit of advice didn't go over very well.
"From that, I was nicknamed 'Dum-Dum,'" Johnson said.

I'm glad you are posting again. Excellent writing. Of course, the geeks out there are curious what computer DJ was using? I assume it was big blue, but still curious.
Thanks Ryan…it was some sort of primitive IBM computer that Davey estimated was big enough to take up most of the visitors dugout at Minute Maid Park!
Great stuff!
Speaking of sample size, interesting that Johnson, who typically hit 5 – 15 homers a year in Baltimore, hit 43 his first year with Atlanta in 1973. As a Baltimore fan growing up, that got my attention. Went back to 15 the next year.
Were you able to come to DC to write this. As your bro, I enjoy all you write.
You're without question the most enjoyable baseball writer to read.
I always thought Davey Johnson was a brilliant manager.

A man was arrested on a felony drunken driving charge and later on wildlife violations after police discovered a small monkey in his truck.
Largo police said Eugene Kotelman was speeding when they stopped him Thursday.
Police said Kotelman was driving on a suspended license and had been previously arrested many times on charges of driving with a suspended license and DUI.
South Florida Mug Shots: Who Got Arrested?
Officers noticed a "small monkey" in Kotelman's truck and released the primate to Kotelman's friend. After Kotelman bonded out of jail on the DUI charge, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers arrested him on a possession of wildlife charge and two counts of violating fish and wildlife rules.
State officers took custody of the monkey.

I mentioned yesterday (and on several occasions before that) that my 3x great-grandfather Thomas Gasson spent a short time a constable in the Metropolitan Police.
What I haven't done until now is put together a timeline for this particular period of his life, bring together the evidence that I have for his time in the Metropolitan Police.
His exact dates of service are not known, so every little bit of evidence helps build up a picture, and may hopefully lead to further records.
28th July 1858 (Slaugham, Sussex)
- Alfred Gasson son of Thomas and Harriet Gasson is baptised in St Mary's Church, Slaugham. This is the last record of the family that I have in Sussex before Thomas joins the Metropolitan Police. Thomas is recorded as a labourer.
Q3 1860 (Edmonton Registration District, Middlesex)
- The birth of their son Edward Gasson was registered in Edmonton Registration District, Middlesex. This places the family in Middlesex, but without checking the actual birth certificate I can't tell whether Thomas was serving with the Metropolitan Police at the time.
7th April 1861 (Winchmore Hill, Edmonton, Middlesex)
- Thomas, Harriet and their four children are shown in the 1861 census in Winchmore Hill in the parish of Edmonton, Middlesex. Thomas is recorded as a "Metropolitan Police Constable".
16th May 1861 (N Division, Middlesex)
- The Metropolitan Police Orders for the 16th May 1861 record that P.C. 265, Gasson was dismissed for being drunk on duty. This doesn't provide enough information to confirm that P.C. 265 was my Thomas Gasson. I am also not sure what made up the boundaries of N Division, but I don't think this matches Winchmore Hill.
Q1 1863 (Cuckfield Registration District, Sussex)
- The birth of their daughter Harriett Gasson was registered in Cuckfield Registration District, Sussex (later census returns give her place of birth as Bolney or Warninglid, Sussex). This places the family back in Sussex, although it is not conclusive that Thomas had lost his job and they had permanently moved back home.
The only real evidence of Thomas' service is the 1861 census, but it looks like he probably joined between July 1858 and Q3 1860, and he left between April 1861 and Q1 1863, probably in May 1861. With a bit more work I might be able to narrow these date ranges down a bit, especially with the purchase of a couple of birth certificates and a couple of baptism records.

Continuum Aquatics Reef-Basis KH Liquid Alkalinity Buffer - 250 ml
Reef•Basis KH Buffer
Description: pH & Alkalinity control for Marine Aquariums
• Automatically controls pH to provide stability
• Raises KH (Alkalinity) in marine & reef aquariums
• Promotes Coraline Algae Growth
Basis KH Liquid Buffer is a high quality, multi-component blended true buffering system designed to raise the alkalinity or buffering capacity of marine fish and reef aquariums and automatically regulate the pH. It will hold pH stable over a wide range of conditions providing for safety of the entire system.
Use in Aquarium Keeping:
Proper control of pH is one of the most critical functions of a marine fish or reef aquarium. If you only measure one paramether of your aquarium, measure the alkalinity! It is the most important one. If pH is allowed to drop due to decay of organic matter, over saturation with carbon dioxide or any type of acid addition, then the animals will suffer and if it drops too much, they will become ill or die. Continuum recommends that you maintain an alkalinity level of 7 to 11 dKH (2.5 to 4 meq/L) and a pH of 8.3. Note: Aquarists keeping SPS corals should consider keeping alkalinity at 7 to no more than 9 dKH (2.5 to 3.21 meq/L).Do not add simultaneously with calcium or mineral supplements, wait a few minutes and allow for plenty of circulation prior. By waiting, you will avoid unnecessary precipitation and possible cloudiness.
Shake well prior to use. Add 1 capful (5 ml) per 25 US-gallons ( 95 L ) of marine aquarium water 3 to 4 times per week. For best results, measure the alkalinity and add as necessary to maintain the desired alkalinity between 8 and 11 dKH (2.9 to 4 meq/L).
Expert Use:
Dosing through use of a separate drip system is a superior method of addition. Two dosing systems are required to dose basis KH liquid simultaneously with calcium supplements and most other additives. Do not mix basis KH liquid with calcium or mineral supplements prior to addition. Determine the amount of alkalinity consumption during the time it takes add the entire volume of your drip system. Determine the amount of basis KH to add in milliliters by multiplying your tank capacity in gallons by the amount you want to raise it in meq/L and by 1.0 or in dKH by .357 (Example: if you have a 50 gallon tank and you want to raise the level by 1 meq/L with the entire dose, you would multiply 50 x 1 which equals 50 ml of basis KH liquid or 10 capfuls. Or if you want to raise it by 1 dKH, you would multiply 50 x .357 = 17.85 ml or about 3-1/2 capfuls.)
Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption. Contains strongly alkaline carbonic acid salts, if ingested drink plenty of water and consult your medical practitioner. If in eyes flush with water for 15 minutes, if redness continues, consult your medical practitioner. If on skin flush with water.

My sons car contains a fair amount of Made by Monkeys logic. One good example (or not so good, in my case) of this logic has to do with the transmission. Its a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am, with more than 100,000 miles on it.
He came home from college last week and said that the car wasnt running right, so I hopped in and took it for a spin. Sure enough, when you stepped on the accelerator, the transmission would spin far too freely.
Being a weekend mechanic, my first reference source is usually the Internet, preferably a source with a video. Unfortunately, there was no video available to help solve our problem, but there was a lot of advice in the user forums.
The first thing the forums had me check was the transmission fluid level. That seemed simple enough, so I went out to the car to look for the dipstick. Its always at the back of the engine, near the firewall, right? And yes, I know the car has to be running, warm, and on flat ground (my dad taught me that way back when I got my first car). After more than a few minutes of searching for that dipstick, I came back to the Internet to find out where that bugger was hidden.
It turns out that this model (and most cars these days) has no dipstick due to the transmission being pressurized. The only way to check the level is to get under the car, find and remove some tiny screw, and see if any fluid spills out. While doing this, all I could think of is, there has to be a better way.
We did that, and sure enough, nothing came out, so we knew more fluid was needed. After searching for the filler cap for a while, I finally discovered it buried down in the engine compartment. When I reached in to remove it, I burned my hand. Its nearly impossible to remove the cover -- and even harder to put it back on -- without removing a significant amount of skin from your hand.
But we did it, and the car now runs a lot better than it did before. I assume the skin on my hand will grow back in no time.

Report: Dog bites off child's finger; dad retrieves it from pet's stomach
Family's pet shot dead
A Florida man shot and killed his family's pet so he could go into its stomach and retrieve his son's finger that the animal had just bitten off, according to a report.
It happened Friday in the Oneca section of Bradenton when the 11-year-old boy reached inside the dog's cage to pet it, mysuncoast.com reported.
The animal bit the boy's hand, "severing the pinky and possibly breaking his forearm," according to mysuncoast.com.
The child's dad took the pet out of its cage, shot it and killed it. As the family waited for EMS to show up, the man retrieved the finger from the dog's stomach, mysuncoast.com reported.
The boy was rushed to a hospital; his condition was not immediately available.
Deputies told mysuncoast.com that their investigation supports the family's account of the incident.

This 100% cotton Tablecloth and Napkins Set is home-sewn, great for using at the park for a picnic or at home for real or pretend kitchen play. Each set comes with one tablecloth and at least 4 napkins. Many times we include an extra - just in case friends drop by.
The tablecloth measures approximately 33x36 inches and fits most children's tables. Each cloth napkin is 6-7 inches square.
A great item to keep in your "birthday basket" for any young child. Made in the USA.
PLEASE NOTE: Tablecloth and Napkins Set is shown with with other kitchen play items sold separately.
Please see cloth pattern pictures below - click on the image to see it bigger. See Option Bar to make your selection! The Dark Green with Dots fabric has an occassional imperfection in the print - few children would notice or care.
"Dear Sonya, I wanted to send you a note of thanks for your wonderful products. I recently purchased 2 books and 2 sets of tablecloths and napkins. I could not have been more delighted with my choices!
"The tablecloths are such beautiful quality. I chose them for my 5 & 6 year-old daughters who play tea party/ birthday party/ picnic every day. Up until now, they used a baby blanket or silks for "a picnic blanket" but I just could not resist the gorgeous sets you make!" Many thanks, Stephanie A. Portsmouth, NH 3/26/08

Thank you DN for archiving this track.
Thank you Randy. Thanks Alex.
Thanks Randy.
Thanks - good overview.
Thanks a lot
Hi catching up
THanks Randy
Great slides. Thank Sir Randy.
once again, goodnight and good morning sir randy...almost done, that's why the other day 4 & day 5 will be tackled tomorrow evening...
much appreciated of another excellent presentation of sir randy...thanks and to the digikey and design news to make this continuing education happen...
this is a great opportunity for us professional wants to earn PDH Certificate for continuing education in the field of engineering profession...
great presentation sir randy...now, almost finishing with the slides of day 3 class lesson...i am in slide 25 now...
where is the second number 9 rating in slide 17? what does instance for? like IP69?
i am now in slide 12 of day 3 class presentation...still some are new to me and some are quite familiar...
i am now downloading for the presentation slides then going through slides while sir randy is discussing...
good morning sir randy! it's already morning here, hahahaha...this is my last session afterwards, i am gonna sleep...
Thank you Randy and Alex, great presentation very informative.
Thank you Randy & Alex for informative seminar.
Thank you! Great information!
Hi from Or
Haha, thanks Steve! Yeah, I had to raise and then immediately lower the volume several times througout, but still educational and enjoyable. Thanks Randy and Alex for another great presentation.
Keep in mind, flush-mounting will reduce a capacitive sensors range somewhat. So, if you are having trouble with this, or would just like more range and you are not forced to flush-mount them, leave it sticking out a bit.
We have just started to use capacitive proximity sensors. They are very impressive devices, so far as their capabilities go.
I figured that the high-pressure, steam cleaning process was for food; I never thought about it as a reflection of the vehicle industry.
Has anyone else been having trouble with Randy's voice getting very low, or is it just me?
Hello all.
Very interesting. Thanks again Randy.
Good lecture, enjoyed it.
I'm interested in a range of Gray Code encoders/decoders.
A good benefit to the course attendees and a chance to advertise for the publishers would be to:
* post some related sample products from Digi-Key and
* some related articles from Design News (and EE Times?).
Good book for Sensors?
Another good session, Randy. Thanks!
I missed this session live. Great to have access to the archived material. Thanks!
Thanks again Randy.
Some of the information is for someone that knows alot about sensors. reading up on some of the websites should help.
Some good information in todays lecture.
there is a link at the top of the page to the other sessions under archived sessions.
Hi everyone.
i really missed alot
Thanks Randy!
Thanks for the lec
It would be great if someone would add links to all the presentations in the individual series at the top of the sessions. So this sesion would have links to the first 2 presentations before it.
Up to a max of 5 points per presentation.
You also get a point for every post.
You get credit for simply starting it.
@ji, yes.
I was interrupted during the original presentation. I just went back and replayed the presentation on this page without accessing the archive. will I get credit for attending this presentation?
Analog Devices has ICs to interface LVDTs
luizcosta - Here's a start for your answer:
FrankBishop - Give this a try:
Zwilrich - Thanks. I suppose I need to read up on this. I'm not familiar with the specific aspect of encoders.
Zwilrich - Thanks.
What is meant by "counts after quadrature?
What is meant by "counts after quadrature?
Randy, I am leaning towards LS7366 part.
Alaskaman66 check HD20-25 series
Thanks everyone for participating. See you tomorrow.
What are the approval agencies for IP cetifications ? and aprox cost ?
Randy, any suggestions for a quadrature decoder IC with SPI out? I have an older uP that doesn't support quad IP.
These guys offfer a starting poin tot ocnider:
Farebrog: Thanks, woll check out Dynapar. Maybe sensors also meet Facory Mutual approval??
Thanks. Hiding in plain sight, are they now...
Randy: do you have any pointers for linear encoders? I can find rotary encoders galore, but somehow linear encoders seem to be hiding from me.
Yuo may want to check out LVDTs. Linear variable differntail transformer as a possible technique.
Any ideas on using magneto resistive units for positioning?
OOPS Lost the thread. How do I get back to real time?
Aren't optical elements sealed?
In many cases but to be sure it meets your needs, you need to have the supplier tell you what IP level they guarantee.
I'm off now, enjoyed the chat and session. See everyone tomorrow.
All thanks for the input. Anyone experience optical encoder problems due to a dusty atmosphere? How about a high humidity condensing atmosphere?
For slide 21 that showed the Sr values, the other values were defined on slide 20
• Assured operating sensing distance (Sa) 0 ≤ Sa ≤ 0.81 x Sn
• Usable operating distance (Su) 0.9 x Sr ≤ Su ≤ 1.1 x Sr
For slide 21 that showed the Sr values, the other values were defined on slide 20
• Assured operating sensing distance (Sa) 0 ≤ Sa ≤ 0.81 x Sn
• Usable operating distance (Su) 0.9 x Sr ≤ Su ≤ 1.1 x Sr
Cool, thanks Randy, looking forward tomorrow for the fun stuff.
Very useful and interesting lecture.
I'm not sure how that rotary position sensor works. is it capacitive? i thought they were implementing these sensors with semiconductor based generators and silicon based optical encoders.
I googled that too and could not find an answer, before and after quadrature.
Thank you.
thanks Randy
Danlafleur: Thanks. Last ckt I made used SS relays from Mouser that switched 120 VAC with a 6 ma DC trigger. Much better than having to build a relay chain to get to the output requirement. I will need something in the future for an automotive application that can directly control glow plugs. So the output would be hundreds of amps DC at 10-13 V.
whats the meaning of before and after quadrature
before is simply pulses but after takes into account the calcualtions to determine direction
Good show, slide 26 is too difficult to read, too squaty and flattened.
Many slides are "double exposed" near the Design News lower left screen area.
Thanks for everything as I an finally aboard ant trying to catch up and keep up if possible.
does anybody have experience with a distance sensor (ultrasound) like SPM0404UD5?
Does anyone know where to get an evaluation encorder motor kit?
$900 a part price. it make me to recall my first math coprocessor's price 23years ago.
Photo of Alex? People have asked for my photo also. I was flattered till I found they wanted it to discourage vermin infestations!
You can buy a L3G4200D MEMS gyroscope for less than $30 retail if you don't need a part that is designed for extreme conditions - Cost is relative depending on the application and cost of downtime :-)
I would only use that gyroscope in a USD $100.000+ project.
Thanks Randy for a great lecture and many thanks to Alex for taking care of the logistics
Thanks guys
@luizcosta... somethng similar to this http://e2e.ti.com/group/msp430launchpad/b/boosterpacks/archive/2011/04/17/430boost_2d00_sense1.aspx
Thanks Randy, Alex and all. See you tomorrow.
Thanks - Great session
Thank you
Moderators have be like that in order to keep things flowing.
I guess I figure $900 for an IC is a bit much. It all depends on your application and how valuable the part is.
Thx. Randy
Randy, thanks for your presentation today
THX, Randy!
Thanks Randy
Very interesting stuff
Thanks Randy. Great session and am looking forward to tomorrow.
thank you Randy,
remember LN33??? FrankBishop?
thanks, it's a great lecture.
I agree. Not hard to figure out the slide. Or you can ask in chat if you get lost.
At least they are not as big or expensive as the gyros I remember from my days in the navy circa 1980's
whats the meaning of before and after quadrature??
It's not just the volume level--- the interruptions interrupt the presentor, distracting them and throwing off their presentation. I can figure out what slide he's on.
Does anyone know for sure what Apple uses for the rotary polistion sensor?
$900 seems like a lot of money, until that's what you need to solve a problem. I remember inertial navigation units in a sealed platform with real gyros, acellerometers ans lots of precision mechanical parts.
Alexander Wolfe - Actually, Steve is correct. But the volume level has been that way since the first webinar many weeks ago.
BTW, have you given anymore thought to that photo posting of yourself that I mentioned yesterday? We'd all like to see to whom we're listening.
That's another parameter to consider - the time you have to develop a system.
Thank you for the presentation
And they will get smaller faster and more accurate
thanks Randy, another informative session, learned a lot today. thanks ALex.
Great presentation.. Lot of new topics to explore...
10 Years and the price will come down
Thank you Randy, another excellent presentation.
My confusion may come from looking at the time diagram, where a pulse that is initially 90 degres ahead of the reference pulse, may miss the clock and the pulse that is 270 degres may be taken as behind the reference pulse.
WOW, ADIS16136 is a $900 part
On pp #13 sine and cosine both have the same values...
Resolvers have quadrature outputs. You also need to look at the colors. For a resolver position of 0, the sine output is zero and the cosine output is full scale. At 45 degrees, they are equal at 0.707* full scale.
that gyroscope is expensive
SORRY @STEVE I'll talk more quietly!
looks like 35mm by 44mm by 14mm
On pp #13 sine and cosine both have the same values. I thought cosine started at 1. what is the difference in this graph?
Slide #13 lists sine and cosine, which bothseem to have the same vlues. I thought cosine started at a value of 1, sine at 0. Could you explain.
Is the gyro sensor single axis?
How big is it?
I used to work in a sandpaper factory. The metalic dust got in erery thing and scratched up all the infrared bar code stripes I worked with something fierce
Sr=Sensing Range
I have no idea how these sensors are manufactured, they seem complex to fabricate. Can you elaborate a bit on this? Thanks.
And Sa, Sn and Su rating???
What's an Sr rating?
My Caps Lock was not on during my last post.
Liquid ingress protection
Mechanical impact resistance
Mechanical impact resistance
Aren't the phases measured separately as process outputs?
The two sensors look at the same encoding disk. They are set during manufacture so that the phase is approximately 90 degrees apart (electrically). Mechanically, they can be anywhere around the circumference of the disk. They just need to be spaced so that when one sensor transisitions, the other sensor is in the middle of bar.
Alaskaman, good question, we also design for C1D1/2 and -40C, any encoders available?
Alaskaman66, check Dynapar site for IS encoders and resolvers. Used lots in the oil and gas field.
Ingress protection = Dust protection?
Resolvers and encoders available for NEC class 1 Div 1 applications?
@Randy. So how does resolver differ from encoder exactly if we can have digital output via extra interface??
Sorry my capital gets locked from time to time
sounds like absolute encoder does not rotate freely, but stop-to-stop.
Aren't the phases measured separately as process outputs?
@luizcosta. There is no point of losing phase in this scenario. phase is inherent for the placement of sensors...
By looking at the phases between the two channels, you effectively can multiply resolution by 4.
Ran, a quadrature signal has 4 edges per count
randy, your volume is low. please talk louder or closer to the mike. thanks
absolute encoder - just a potentiometer with ADC?
what happens when phase A and Phase B measurements loose sync?
They can't. The phase relationship is fixed by the detector positions. Only mechanical changes cause phase changes.
Alex, could you use a softer voice when you chime in? My volume is at mx so I can hear Randy. When you join in my pods are blown off and then I can't hear Randy because my ears are filled with blood. Thanks
Hi all
Randy, in the QUADRATURE encoders, what happens when phase A and Phase B measurements loose sync? Is that fixable within the context of the software?
Reyaz and farebrog> right, thx
@alaskaman66, as danlafleur mentioned, if the optical disk gets contaminated, then it would certainly affect the output and yes, the emitter/detector components are sealed.
Grey code and binary are available. I don't know about BCD.
ipod has a capacitive sensor not a rotary encoder (@luizcosta)
slide 11 now
slide 10 right?
Alaskaman66, we use an optical emitter/detector pair with a slot where an optical disk inturrupts the beam.
Are encoders still available using different coding schemes such as BCD, Binary, etc.? Are "Gray codes" still used where only one bit changes from one position to the next?
Randy/Alex: Any silicon based rotaional encoders being made? Wht is in the iPoda, iPhones, iPads as positional encoders?
A resolver is a type of rotary electrical transformer used for measuring degrees of rotation.
An optical encoder is a disk with holes or opaque bars on it.
For a mobile application, is there any effect of earth magnetic field on magnetic encoder?
I do recommend to interface the relay with an optocoupler or an open collector array (ULN2803)
please define what a resolver is vs an encoder in this case
(now on slide 4)
hmmm, CANopen motion buses, interesting...
Audio is clear
Audio is loud and clear
Hello everyone
@timmer116, yes i believe so, but it is not so clear :)
i've driven led input ss relays directly for a PIC pin with current limiting resistor.
Hi Randy. Ready for today's session...
Hi, all
Alaskaman66: igbts have a gate input as opposed to the base of a transistor. As long as the port pin can supply the required charge fast enough to switch at the rate you want it shouldwork.
@Alaskaman66, microchip PIC is cable of source/sink 25mA at 5V, will that do?
Ready to roll!
I think they, IGBT's input are FET, pulling very small curent.
What does that woman say when the sound starts? Block Talk Radio?
Good to be here, everyone!
good afternoon - looking forward to an interesting session
Hello, Randy!
Hello Alex
hi all,
hello alex and randy,
I'm in, ready to go.
Are there MCU's capable of driving IGBTS or solid state relays directly for power applications?
Hi everyone!
Good Morning from Valdez
Hi All
hi everyone
Hello All
Can anyone recommend a single chip quadrature decoder, ideally with SPI interface?
Howdy folks! :)
Hello everybody.
hello everyone!
Good afternoon all
hello randy. choose sensors was very informative. which applications to apply them to is sure to be benficial too. looking fordward to this lecture.

Here's a clip from The Starters on NBA TV. I know Steve Nash would always lick his hands when on the court, but I never saw him do it as much as Hedo in this video. A little strange if you ask me.
Hedo + basketball = spitball
I don't know if I would even pass it to him. Who wants someone's saliva all over the basketball?
The only reasonable thing to do is restrict his fluid intake on game days lol
That is just plain and simple... Gross!
Hedo looks a bit like that guy from The Starters.
That is really weird...
surprised i didn't notice that
lol He must have some tasty hands or just making sure that when he touches the ball it's claimed for.
It's one way of saying hey the ball is mine, you touch the ball you touch my saliva. lol!
Something Crawford does team will have a lot of flu games if this keeps up.
I don't get why him and Crawford always licks their hands.Always creeps me out lol.
They share something with the ball obviously lol
Meh... it's better than licking other people's hands. Now that would be really creepy.

Is it official now?
No... this is just their opinion on it.
Another nice piece on the trust that's developing among our key guys...
http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2014/02/2 ... f:nbahpt6b
Good article. Sounds like he'll be a great fit and already know some of the systems.
It's official!! This is such exciting news for the Clippers!
Welcome Big Baby to Clippers!
Yay it's official!!!!!!
Clippers finally have a fruit big man off the bench.
It's weird that when we don't have big men on the bench we don't get far in the POs, when we had Reggie and KMart we made it to the 2nd round last year it was shallow and we lost in the 1st.
Not a fan of BB but what's done is done

Citizens Advisory Board committee members remain at odds over interim spent fuel storage at the Savannah River Site.
The waste committee presented its 12-10 decision opposing spent fuel storage at the Site during day one of a two-day meeting. The board will vote to oppose spent fuel or to keep discussions open today at 8:30 a.m.
"We have made our position clear, and hopefully, it will hold up through Tuesday's meeting," said Ed Burke, a waste committee member.
"I personally think we should take a wait-and-see attitude on it," said Don Bridges, the Citizens Advisory Board chair. "It's hard for me to get a sense of where CAB is about the subject, so we'll vote and go from there."
Today's decision has sparked responses from several other interest groups and individuals from the community. Georgia WAND (Women's Actions for New Directions) is one interest group that has covered the interim storage debate and has consistently opposed fuel dumping.
"It's pretty much a no-brainer," said Courtney Hanson, public outreach director for Georgia WAND. "We applaud the waste committee's leadership in this issue, and we are in full support of their decision to oppose spent fuel storage."
"Making a decision too early will give the Citizens Advisory Board a negative image that will be hard to reverse," another community member stated. "The board will still have a chance to oppose storage down the road without taking such a hard position on it so early."
In addition to the interim storage debate, committee members also expressed concerns with the FY 2014 federal budget. Currently, the proposed budget includes a $100 million funding cut, which could cut 600 jobs from the Site.
The board will vote on a final stance today following its interim storage vote.
"The budget outlook for 2014 is very dismal," Bridges said. "We'll be offering up the position that a $100 million cut is simply too much."
Today, the Citizens Advisory Board will meet to vote on both issues. The board will also take public comments on the two subjects during designated periods. The meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. and will adjourn at 5 p.m. For a second straight day, the meeting will be held at the North Augusta Community Center. The center is located at 495 Brookside Ave. in North Augusta.

DENVER � For the second time this week, Senate Democrats killed a Republican bill that attempted to increase the use of concealed weapons as a solution to gun violence.
This time, the casualty was Sen. Kent Lambert�s bill to require businesses to either hire armed guards or allow customers to carry concealed weapons. Businesses who didn�t comply could be held liable for acts of violence committed on their premises.
Lambert, R-Colorado Springs, said gun-free zones are an invitation to mass shooters. An armed citizen with a concealed gun could have stopped the Aurora movie theater massacre last summer, he said.
�Concealed-carry permits with armed citizens work to contain violence and stop mass shootings,� Lambert said.
John Head, co-president of the gun-control group Safe Colorado, said the idea was �silly� and from �never-never land.�
Armed moviegoers could not have stopped the massacre in a loud, dark theater, he said.
�You�d have a bunch of people getting hit in the crossfire,� Head said.
The Senate Judiciary Committee killed Lambert�s bill on a 3-2 vote, with Democrats opposed. Two days earlier, the same committee killed a bill to allow teachers to carry concealed weapons in school.
The hearing drove home the point that key lawmakers are approaching the gun debate from very different perspectives. Some of them get nervous in a room full of armed people, and some get nervous when not enough armed people are in the room.
Lambert�s bill would have required one armed guard for every 50 customers, if a business refused to allow concealed carry.
Annmarie Jensen, a lobbyists for the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police, said police didn�t like the idea, because emotions can run high at something as common as a Little League game.
�Imagine injecting one gun for every 50 people into that setting. It�s crazy what could go wrong,� she said.
Throughout the hearing, people on both sides talked as if they couldn�t believe what their opponents were saying.
�Let me get this straight: The chiefs of police of the state of Colorado are opposed to self-defense of the citizens of our state?� said Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction.
Democrats have not yet introduced their gun-control bills.

If you've been looking to spice up your leg workout you're in luck. Today I have a challenging hamstring and butt exercise that is somewhat unconventional. Very few people take advantage of this exceptional exercise and I hope that this post will change that.
When you think about training your hamstrings, the most common exercises that come to mind are Stiff Leg Deadlifts and Leg Curls. I've been hooked on the T-Bar Stiff Leg Deadlift for the past few months ever since my buddy Tom Venuto introduced them to me. I get an amazing stretch and contraction with that hamstring exercise. I'll be sure to record a video of the T-Bar Stiff Leg Deadlift soon. The regular Deadlift also makes for one heck of a glute and hamstring exercise.
When I asked the members of Tom's Burn The Fat Inner Circle if they had any alternative exercises that really blast the hammies and glutes I was surprised to hear Tom suggest Glute-Ham Raises. I was even more surprised when Tom mentioned that Glute-Ham Raises are not only difficult, but you can expect 3x the muscle soreness afterward. Read the rest of this entry »

The James B. Duke Memorial Library at Johnson C. Smith University has received a $94,417 grant from the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) to digitize the James Gibson Peeler collection.
The August issue of U.S. Airways Magazine includes an article about Johnson C. Smith University in a special segment on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The article is titled "Leading Innovation – Combining Cutting-Edge Technology with Community Engagement." It draws attention to the University's STEM program, Innovo Laboratory, student volunteerism, campus improvements and athletics.

Hair's the deal: in Cincinnati, fans dig a good Marty Party.
If memory serves me, in the years after I graduated from the University of Cincinnati, I had several conversations with people from the Tri-State area about the city's top sports figures.
It wasn't so much about who were the best players. It was more about who, in the sports landscape, were the most revered. Who, if you will, "owned" the town?
Back then, in the early to mid-1990s, the Reds had both good years and terrible years, the Bengals were unspeakably awful, and with no NBA team to dump on and the only hockey in town being of a minor league variety, there wasn't much going, sports-wise. At that time, the one team with the most national prominence was UC men's basketball, a perennial high seed in the tournament and really, at the time, the toast of the town.
So, in my estimation, there were three sports figures in Cincinnati at that time that were revered in the eyes of the public. They were, in no particular order: UC men's basketball coach Bob Huggins, Reds shortstop Barry Larkin and Reds radio announcer Marty Brennaman.
Back in the old days, it really didn't matter if the Reds were good or bad (which was good, because some years were just really, really bad). Listening to Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall on the radio was just something you did. You listened in the car. You listened while hanging out at the pool. You listened when you were close to home and, thanks to 700 WLW's ability to be picked up hundreds of miles from home, you could also listen during the long rides that inevitably accompanied any family vacation.
The broadcasts were never boring. Brennaman's candid assessments and picture-perfect descriptions made even the snoozers interesting. He was, and continues to be, one of the only radio broadcasters in baseball who willingly will go against the establishment to criticize the team when warranted. His observations often infuriated star players, not to mention ownership (how many times did Marge Schott tried to rid herself of him?). It didn't matter. Marty always prevailed, because he told it like he saw it, and in turn, he was radio gold for listeners. He was as untouchable as you can get without actually wearing the uniform.
Anyhoo, Marty became the Reds' full-time announcer when I was not yet three years old, so, for the most part, he's been calling Reds games my entire life. A few things haven't changed in his 40-plus years of broadcasting: his booming voice, his popularity, and, well, his hair.
Marty has a lot of hair. He always has. I'm fairly certain it hasn't always been white, but I have no memory of that, so I have to assume it changed color when he was still a relatively young man. Marty's hair has always been a signature trait, which I guess is a funny thing to say about a guy who makes his living on the radio. But Marty didn't hide behind the mic. For a radio guy, he was (and is) everywhere.
About a week ago, the surging Reds were attempting to extend a winning streak to an unthinkable 10 games, and Marty cast his doubts on the team's ability to carry it out. A Reds coach asked him if he'd shave his head if the team won that night, and Marty said, "Sure."
I'll be honest, I never understood why sports-related streaks make so many normally well-reasoned folks want to suddenly challenge their friends to shave their heads. I've been in situations where some brazen so-and-so will propose some silly bet about where a team will finish in the standings, and invariably, it's always the same proposed wager: "If I win, you have to shave your head." It's stupid. It irks me in the same way as watching four college-age men at a sports venue in say, San Diego, dancing around for the cameras with their shirts off. It's a balmy 70 degrees and they're — gasp! — shirtless? They must be really, really…cold?
Still, when I first heard about this proposed challenge, I pictured Marty and his iconic poofy white hair and tried to imagine what he might look like without it. I thought, this, I have to see.
The Reds won that night, and the focus temporarily shifted from Marty calling the game to Marty to paying up. To make sure this gesture had a point, a stipulation was added: If enough fans ponied up the cash to reach $20,000 for the Reds Community Fund and Joe Nuxhall Character Fund, the shaving would happen on the field, after the game, in front of the fans. If they didn't raise the cash, the shaving would still go on — just in the privacy of the Reds clubhouse, away from the glare of
Marty's dome the public spotlight.
Reds fans didn't raise 20 grand — they raised 50. Charlie Sheen, a long-time Reds fan whose dad, Martin, is originally from nearby Dayton, Ohio, added another $50,000. That's 100 grand, all for charity, all to celebrate one very beloved local celebrity who transitioned from "poofy-haired fancy boy" to shiny-headed bald guy.
Marty always did own that town. Glad to see some things never change.
My top five most interesting facts about the Marty Party that I learned from watching this video:
1. Marty is quite tan throughout the season. His head, however, had some catching up to do after he parted with his hair. No worries. Marty's plan for the team's pending trip to Milwaukee was to spend ample time on the golf course, sans hat.
2. Not only did the act of Marty having his head shaved bring in money, the shaved hair was also auctioned off, for charity. Could make for an interesting decoration on some lucky fan's mantle, but I'd keep it away from the Christmas lights.
3. Marty had his personal barber of 23 years do the shaving. Many Reds players initially offered to help out, but were rebuffed.
4. Marty fully admits he loves his hair and apparently doesn't mind singing it from the rooftops. He was quoted as saying, "No one has had a more passionate love affair with his hair than me." Intense.
5. It took six minutes and 13 seconds to shave the head, from start to finish — five minutes, 27 seconds longer than it takes for the average American man to have his head shaved. (No, not really).

Moved to ATL recently but lived in Dayton for 35 years and was born in 74 . Your description of Marty is dead on. It pained me to go through losing Joe and it pains me that Marty is not broadcasting every game (thank you MLB.com for out of market broadcasts!). Marty and Joe 's voices are an indelible part of my childhood memories and an integral part of being a Reds' fan. Thank you for this article!
Nice read Alyson. :o)

^Hopefully we end up being as good as we look on paper now come seasons end.
If JJ can give us 24 minutes a night during the Playoffs, I'd love to run him the entire 1st & 4th quarter and let him rest the entire 2nd & 3rd quarter.
I would love a crunch time lineup of CP/Redick/Jamal/Granger/Griffin on offense
Be a bit cold after resting 2 quarters don't you think?
But great news on all three
http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow ... vrit=53285
Redick hasn't played in almost seven weeks. He has shot some in the past, but he still hasn't been able to play in a game.
"Listen, if J.J. comes back tomorrow, we're good," Rivers said. "If J.J. comes back in three weeks, we're good. If J.J. comes back in eight weeks [during the playoffs] and we're still alive, we're good. So I don't think there is a timetable."
Totally agree. Shakes hand.
How did you ever get past your pain? It might sound weird but I a little bit of sciatica, but I also had pain in my right testicle. Whatever nerve I had that was being intruded was causing a light ache in my nut. Best cure when it happens is to find the tightest ass huggers and lay on my stomach, super hot.
I never did the surgery or pain meds though. I heard too many horror stories and saw too many of my family members go through it. I'm pretty much pain free today. Woke up one day and everything pretty much went unnoticed until I realized I didn't have pain or had to deal with pain.
If JJ is able to play, I'll be a happy camper. I'm sick of my wife asking where JJ is.
http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/stor ... s-clippers
Even though JJ is starting to practice, Doc is still really mum about the situation.
I found a guy from Holland who uses a different kind of physical therapy than they use here. He's not a quack. I have no clue where he is now.
Really excited to see this team with jj and jamal. Hopefully they're 100 percent.
http://www.nba.com/clippers/news/redick ... -uncertain
i don't know if you guys saw this already but redick practiced for the second day. when i saw the video he didn't look to confident, but he says he's improving. what do you guys think?
Doc doesn't have problem pulling out a cold player even if he is the starter unlike Vinny who's so scared to put Billups in the bench.
Hopefully we are completely healthy against the Thunder @ Home
Looks like JJ might play on this upcoming road trip. Not sure if I like that. I'd rather him be inserted during our home stretch after the road trip.
To be fair, Doc has a championship ring and all the respect that comes with it, he has Chauncey's "little brother" already locked up for 5 years, and he has a $21,000,000 guaranteed contract of his own.
Apples and oranges, mate.
lol you haven't across the pond too long then
Well, you know what they say... you can take the man out of England, but you can't take England out of the man.
Very strange bringing JJ on this trip during recovery he must be ready soon. Even then if he is not ready to play yet I would of had him stay in LA until game day ready and fly him out to avoid travel fatigue.
Looking forward to his return of the hitman JJ Redick.
Can't wait for JJ to be back.
1st team:
CP, Blake (2 all stars), DJ (people trying to make him an all star), Barnes and JJ
2nd team:
Collison (who,is finally playing like himself), Crawford, Granger (all star), Turk (who at one time was really good) and big baby.
Our second team is looking good. Wonder if Granger will eventually start.
So glad to get JJ back
Reddick came on this road trip so as not to miss out on any of the food specialties at each city, LOL!
A bit disappointing but doesn't sound like it's to far off.
So when is he back ?
I read somewhere that he is most likely back when we return home, and that he traveled just to get some practice in with the team.
Do you have a link or where'd you read it from ?
Doc says 75% chance Redick returns for Dallas game. Of course, Crawford is out for that game. Hopefully, sometime this season, we get the full roster healthy again.
http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles/cli ... n-thursday
I think he should only play a couple of minutes then REALLY return on Sunday when we play a weak team. Haha any news on Danny G.???
Need Granger back asap to pair with JJ and see what they create.

WASHINGTON � Two La Plata County commissioners spent this week taking local issues to the national level during a legislative conference in Washington, D.C.
Commissioners Julie Westendorff and Gwen Lachelt participated in the National Association of Counties� 2013 Legislative Conference, discussing topics such as sequestration, marijuana, wildfires, budgets and broadband with other county commissioners, a Cabinet member and the Colorado congressional delegation.
�I found it a really valuable experience,� Lachelt said during an interview in a Senate office building�s cafeteria Wednesday.
Westendorff said she came to the conference hoping to speak with county officials in Washington state about their new law legalizing recreational marijuana, which is similar to one recently passed in Colorado.
She also spoke with New Mexico officials to see if they had any concerns about marijuana crossing the border from Colorado, she said.
On the federal level, Westendorff said she asked Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack about rules governing industrial hemp and their interplay with marijuana laws. Vilsack told her that he�d already spoken with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder about it, she said.
�I was really pleased to know they�d had that conversation,� Westendorff said.
Lachelt said Colorado commissioners also discussed broadband in the state.
Eagle-Net Alliance�s federally funded project to build high-speed communication lines to schools and government buildings across Colorado has been suspended since early December because of environmental concerns, and the company was the subject of federal and state hearings last week.
Eagle-Net is supposed to build a fiber-optic line to Silverton, where there is no high-speed Internet, but has not done so yet.
Westendorff said a lack of broadband in places such as Silverton can hurt the region�s economy. Businesses need a high-speed connection to function in rural areas, she said.
�It�s not about watching Netflix really fast,� she said. �It�s not just about playing games and watching movies.�
Lachelt and Westendorff said they are concerned about the effect of the sequester cuts on La Plata County, particularly on the federal Payments in Lieu of Taxes Program. The PILT program gives federal money to local governments to help make up for the lost property taxes that cannot be collected for federal lands.
In terms of other cuts, the county cannot raise taxes without voter approval under Colorado�s Taxpayer�s Bill of Rights � legislation that removes the �ability to respond to reality in a timely fashion,� Westendorff said.
Because county governments must have balanced budgets � unlike the federal government � local officials are left to make on-the-ground choices of where to tighten.
�They�re leaving it up to the counties to make the hard decisions,� Lachelt said.

UCF cancels classes after death, explosive found
About 500 students evacuated from dorm
Hundreds of students have been evacuated from a dorm on the University of Central Florida campus in Orlando after explosive devices were found while authorities were investigating a death.
Police were called to Tower 1 early Monday after a fire alarm went off. Arriving officers found a man dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police told local TV stations they found an assault weapon and improvised explosive devices at the scene.
About 500 students were evacuated from the dorm and a parking garage was closed.
The university has cancelled classes through noon Monday as a precaution.
A statement on the university's website said the UCF Arena will open Monday morning to accommodate displaced students.
It was not immediately known whether the dead man is a student. His name has not been released.
