WASHINGTON, D.C. — Israeli and Palestinian negotiators agreed on Tuesday to meet again within two weeks to start substantive negotiations on a so-far elusive peace deal with the goal of reaching a deal within nine months, Secretary of State John Kerry said.
Speaking as the two sides wrapped up an initial two days of talks at the State Department after paying a visit to President Barack Obama at the White House, Kerry said Israel and the Palestinians were committed to "sustained, continuous and substantive negotiations on the core issues" that divide them. He said the next round of negotiations would take place in either Israel or the Palestinian territories at an as yet-unspecified date before mid-August.
"The parties have agreed here today that all of the final status issues, all of the core issues and all other issues are all on the table for negotiation. And they are on the table with one simple goal: a view to ending the conflict," Kerry said. "Our objective will be to achieve a final status agreement over the course of the next nine months."
U.S. officials had previously said the negotiations would continue for a minimum of nine months without setting that as a timeframe for reaching a deal. Kerry said he was aware of the deep skepticism surrounding the new push for peace and acknowledged that the road ahead would be difficult. Yet he said he was hopeful an agreement could be reached. "While I understand the skepticism, I don't share it. And I don't think we have time for it," he said.
"I firmly believe the leaders, the negotiators and citizens invested in this effort can make peace for one simple reason: because they must," Kerry said. "A viable two-state solution is the only way this conflict can end. And there is not much time to achieve it. And there is no other alternative."
Kerry said the negotiations, to be mediated on a day-to-day basis by his new Mideast peace envoy, Martin Indyk, would be cloaked in secrecy and that the parties had agreed that he would be the only person to comment on them. He quickly added that he would not comment on them, leaving unclear the framework for the talks that he struggled for six months to get back on track.
Despite the secrecy, the broad outlines of an agreement are well known: the Palestinians want a state based on the lines, with agreed land swaps, that existed before the 1967 war in which Israel seized east Jerusalem and occupied the West Bank and Gaza. Israel wants security assurances and a recognition that it is and will remain a Jewish state.
Obama laid out those parameters as U.S. policy for any negotiations in a May 2010 speech but neither the Israelis nor the Palestinians has publicly signed off on them. U.S. officials said on Tuesday the talks would proceed under the framework Obama announced in that speech but Kerry did not mention that in his comments.
Instead, he said only that the two sides had agreed that all "final status issues, all of the core issues and all other issues" would be on the table for negotiation. Those issues include security, borders, the status of Jerusalem, the fate of Palestinian refugees and water, all of which have been responsible for cratering multiple U.S.-brokered peace efforts over the past two decades.
Earlier on Tuesday, Obama and Vice President Joe Biden met with the lead negotiators – Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat – for about 30 minutes. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama called the meeting to "directly express his personal support for final status negotiations." Obama pledged full U.S. support to the process, Carney said.
At the State Department ceremony, Kerry was flanked by Livni and Erekat -- who each spoke briefly about the need to resolve the long-standing conflict.
"It's time for the Palestinian people to have an independent sovereign state of their own," said Erekat, who spoke first. "It's time for the Palestinians to live in peace, freedom and dignity within their own independent, sovereign state."
Livni allowed that she and Erekat had been involved in failed negotiations before, notably the Annapolis Process that former President George W. Bush initiated in 2008, but she said this time could be different.
"You know, Saeb," she said to Erekat, "we all spent some time in the negotiations room ... but we didn't complete our mission. And this is something that we need to do now, in these negotiations that we will launch today. And the opportunity has been created for us, for all of us, and we cannot afford to waste it."
"I believe that history is not made by cynics; it is made by realists who are not afraid to dream," Livni added. "Let us be these people."

Many government employees are planning to picket the Social Security Administration offices in Aiken today, protesting proposed cuts in the social program.
The American Federation of Government Employees and Social Security workers have planned what they call an information picket at 151 Corporate Parkway in Aiken between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
The AFGE and Social Security workers said in a press release Tuesday that they "are deeply worried that the proposed Fical Year 2013 federal budget for the SSA would have a devastating impact on the services provided to seniors, the disabled and the families who have lost a parent or spouse."
As negotiations on the FY 2013 budget continue in order to avoid the looming "fiscal cliff," the SSA is concerned at the amount that will be taken from their funding.
"Social Security does not account for the current deficit problem," AFGE said. "In fact, Social Security neither increases nor reduces the federal deficit since the program is entirely self-financed."
The group claims that sequestration could cut $600 million and Sen. Paul Ryan's budget or the Simpson/Bowels recommendation would cut $1 billion.
Protests like this are going on around the country, and thousands of SSA workers will be protesting.

If the PGA Tour's Q-School ended on Sunday, Kevin Kisner would retain his card to play on golf's top tour again next year. Unfortunately for the South Aiken High School and University of Georgia product, the final stage of Q-School is a six round event – and Sunday was only the fifth round. But Kisner's performance to this point leaves him in excellent position to continue playing on the PGA Tour for a third consecutive year.
Kisner followed Saturday's 65 by carding 67 Sunday. That leaves Kisner (71-75-66-65-67–344) at 16-under and tied for 17th place in the event, which the sixth and final round will be played today, after which the top 25 and ties will receive PGA Tour cards for 2013. The next 50 and ties will earn Web.com Tour cards. Kisner's 67 on the Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course at PGA West in La Quinta, Calif., was his third consecutive round in the 60s as he's rallied from a slow start to move into contention, just six strokes behind Steven Bowditch, the leader at 23-under. Kisner's round Sunday included six birdies and just one bogey.
Aiken resident and Clemson product Stephen Poole had his second-consecutive round in the 60s, shooting 4-under 68 on the Stadium Course. Poole (72-77-72-67-68–356) is 4-under for the event, tied for 116th. Poole had a great, six-birdie round, but a double bogey on No. 17 kept him from making up even more ground.
Poole is a long shot to get his PGA Tour card today, as is Scott Brown, who played on tour this year. The former North Augusta High School and USC Aiken golfer's also playing his best golf of the event on the weekend, carding a second-consecutive 70 to get to 7-over for the tournament. Brown (78-76-73-70-70–367) is tied for 160th after his five birdie, one bogey and one double-bogey round.
Bowditch has a one stroke lead ahead of Kris Blanks, with Derek Ernst, Steve LeBrin and Edward Loar another shot back in a tie for third. Other notables currently in position to get PGA Tour cards include Robert Karlsson, Erik Compton and Evan's Vaughn Taylor, who's tied for 17th at 16-under.
Noah Feit is the sports editor for the Aiken Standard and has been a professional journalist for more than a dozen years after graduating from Syracuse University.

Thank You Fred
Thanks Fred
Cathing up
Yes, to answer question at 30:30 knowledge of Microchip library was helpful.
Thank you for archiveing! Great lecture and presentation. Thanks Fred
Another great presentation. Thanks Fred.
Have never programmed PIC, so not familiar with the MAL.ARM processors are of particular interest to me.
Fred, you're back!
Yes, hearing you, not hearing Fred.
Downloading slide deck.
Catching up on some of the archived classes.
Hello from Beaverton, Oregon
following 78RPM around again today ctaching up on the sessions.
hello from Edmonton, Alberta
Thank you.
Would like to see an early message to the user such as:
MicroSD CARD
Thanks for archiving these classes ...
This class would make a nice app note for Microchip ... since you teach for them, perhaps they will support you in that effort.
Great info Fred.
thank you Fred,
Lost audio around minute 19
Had to restart day 3
Picking up day 3
Can this approach to coding a bootloader be used with other PIC processors that are self-programming FLASH capable? Thanks.
Fred, thank you for presentation, all understandable clearly.
Thanks for another great pressentation.
Great presentations Fred. I am not able to listen live because my great IT support said it would take 3 - 4 days from them to give me special rights for streaming audio, Lol.. So I come home and listen after work. This is very interesting stuff, even though I don't have an application right now, I might down the road and this will be helpful. Looking forward to the last two days. Thanks again, Steve.
Thank you
Thank you Fred for a great session
Thank you Fred, very informative session
Again, thanks to everyone for joining our discussion today. And, thanks for the feedback on what you're currently working on and what you would like to see in this classroom.
Be sure to get your copy of the Bootloader schematic from http://www.edtp.com/dsn/microSD-Bootloader.pdf
I'm out.. "See" you tomorrow!
well if looking for a compact type MCU/SD storage solution then PJRC has an interesting solution:
Now they offer "Teensy3.0" with 32 bit ARM controller. Two years ago I purchased 'Teensy 2.0' from them
(Atmel ATMEGA32U4 based 8 bit MCU) along with SD adaptor just like this one in the pic:
I would say another "Con" is an opening for unauthorized modification. I have not looked ahead to see if you will address validation of the HEX file for security.
Got interruptd right at the end - use NXP Cortex M0/3 offerings. Fortunately many of the principles apply. Unfortunately we can't afford the board space to put an SD card on them (nor a display) so some of the princilpes will have to be modified. Think wall light switch with motion detector not a candidate for fancy interfaces.
What are pros and cons of building bootloder using Mircontroller...
@cmpatel: Pros - Easy version upgrades * Easy bug fixes * Easy distribution to multiple sites
Cons - Price of product
Something needs to be done about the flaky audio. Extremly disruptive
Good session Fred, Thanks
Great lecture, Fred! Have you ever worked with the Freescale tower system? Some of those boards include a resident SD card slot. I'm also trying to learn about the TI MSP430 system.
@ctrlfreek: No I haven't. Sounds like it might be interesting to look at.
Freescale ARM Cortex would be great.
Yes, the MAL have been very helpful!
Is there a way to fail over to another hex file or another image (perhaps the last known good image) if BootApplication() fails?
@N3WWN: Yes..It's a simple matter of programming :-) For simplicity, I loaded a single .hex file to the microSD. You can have multiple files on the microSD all with differing images.
Instead of just collecting the one expected file, you could scan for them all and select the one you wish to load. If BootApplication() failed, you have had a catastrophic error occur and the NUKE button (ABORT) would have to be brought into play.
Well, Fred it will be interesting to see a presentation / project of a 32 bit MCU of any make with touch screen and SD bootloader card. State machine menu driven file system to bootload any of the many programs stored at the SD card. Thanks a bushel :)
where can we find this files?.h and .c files?
@cmpatel: Most of them are contained in the Microchip Application Libraries. I'll supply the homegrown ones as a download. Download the MAL from the Microchip site.
Where can I find what TRISxxxx and LATxxxx are doing? I'm using them but have no idea what I'm doing.
@Kentj: Basically, TRIS determines if the I/O pin is an input or output. A 1 means the port pin is an input. A zero makes the port pin an output.
LAT is short for LATCH. LAT is always associated with an output pin. For instance, you write to LATDbits.LATD0 and read from PORTDbits.RD5. You set LATDbit.LATD0 to an output by writing a zero to TRISDbits.TRISD0. Conversely, you assign RD5 as an input by writing a 1 to TRISDbits.TRISD5.
TI MSP and PSoC will be helpful
Thanks, Fred!
Thanks Fred, another great day.
Very Helpful; Thanks Very Much Fred and rich
Currently using bootloader for PIC24FJ and EP processors with a USB memory stick.
Thank you for well spent day.
I've done bootloaders for controllers embedded in a larger system via I2C from the main processor. That might be a useful class, too.
Thanks, excellant!
Thanks Fred and Rich for a great lecture.
Thanks Fred!
We use Freescale Cortex-M, since heavy use of libraries, I suspect there are differences between the different Cortex-M chip vendors.
Great, hope the audio glitch didn't / doesn't effect the archive.
Energy Micro EM32 ans PIC32 with SD-Card
Thanks a lot!
Thank Fred
Thanks, another great presentation
Thank you for the presentation
Thx Fred.
Thanks Fred and Rich for a great job
helpful, Freescale
Working on a SD boot loader for Renesas R8C right now.
Thanks guys
Thank You Fred and Rich.
Thanks Fred. Great class. It was helpfull.
I'm using PIC32MX695F512 with USB bootloader with optional Ethernet bootloader
Thanks again Fred and Rich! Outstanding!
would like an 8051 bootloader equivalent class :)
Great job Fred, you need to run more of these classrooms.
great job
Fred rocks!
Yes helpful. Renesas, TI MSP & Freescale
How about an AVR, but with a USB Memory Stick?
Thank you Fred!

Ready for adventure, we found these two precious gnomes creeping through the grass and even attempting to climb a tree! One large (5" tall) and one smaller (4" tall) gnome dressed in wool blend felt make a wonderful pair and add a bit of cheer to a nature table, child's room, story, or window sill. They are hand stitched for some extra-special sweetness! Sturdy enough for every day play. Fits perfectly in the palm of your child's hand. Great for a birthday or a sweet surprise.

Overall I don't feel the okc series was bad for Jordan we struggled when he sat but never felt it was a must he did sit. There was also never a loss in the post season where his free throws cost us alone. We need better length to start next year and Jordan Hill backing Blake would be huge and get Clint Capela and KG behind DJ.
I don't understand why anyone even bothers trying to debate with Joe. He's hated DJ for years and will never admit that he's been wrong about the guy. DJ leads the league in rebounding, FG% and comes in third for defensive player of the year and he still thinks DJ sucks. I think I can count on one hand the number of times that he has actually made any sort of logical conclusion about anything. He's like the people that used to run around saying that the world was flat, even though the rest of the world knew that it wasn't. I don't know if he's trolling or what? He's either trolling or he has the IQ of a turnip...
C'mon man, please don't use personal attacks like that. I'm giving you a warning.
In case you don't know this guy:
Cliptonyte only comes here to defend DJ...No, seriously, he literally only comes here to defend DJ. Again, only time you see his posts, is when he defends, or praises DJ. Look at his history if you think I'm lying. He has to be a relative or has a secret crush on DJ.
Anytime you critique DJ, he'll drop the "I have professional experience in coaching" card. If that doesn't work, he'll pull out the proverbial scrapbook and post some clippings on what a coach thinks of DJ. Of course, it has to be positive. But when you counter with a article that talks about how bad he is in protecting the paint, he disappears...Or tries to make this a insult match (see above).
when someone starts insulting, or making this personal, you know you've struck a cord with that person. I am confused as to why this guy made a personal attack out of thin air but I really shouldn't be surprised.
This guys only pops out of the basement when he smells someone talking bad about his obsession.
Sorry to say, a lot of people here the say way about DJ. The guy has the IQ of a turnip (see what I did there?). Maybe you should come here more often and spend time in game threads to see that my opinion is not isolated. I maybe the most vocal, but there are lots of people who feel this guy makes some of the worst decisions when he has the ball in his hands...That is, if he can hold on to the ball for more than a second.
Yes, people know I don't like DJ...That has never been a secret. But you seem to take it the worst when you don't even come here long enough to understand. You only come here to post a positive article of DJ, or defend him like he's your husband. Aside from that, I have been very vocal about DJ's improvement in rebounding. I've praised him for that all season. I've praised him for big games. I even praised him for being one the best players in the Warriors series...That is, before I realized that it had more to do with not having a center playing for them. DJ has been horrible in the play-offs and that is what he was in the Thunder series. If you can't accept that, then you can go back to kissing you DJ fathead in your basement.
CapsNClips, I have no problem with you giving me a warning. I'll gladly accept it. You have to do your job, nothing personal.
Hey CJ, I'd rather have a coach breakdown DJ's performance than some lousy journalist in some dead end article writer job.
Can dj help us win a ring? I don't think so. If trading him helps is improve, I'm game.
Again, robin Lopez was better against better competition and costs half
As much. We can find a big body to rebound and intimidate. Dj never seems to be in the right spot and I can't stand watching him at the line anymore. I do like him but this is a contract year and he can't be off the table. He is our new Bledsoe.
I don't get why criticizing DJ is somehow a no-no. He is atrocious at the line, he is a mediocre rim protector at best despite being gifted with superior athleticism, his basketball IQ is low, he still is clueless against any big who can make a jump shot, he has zero offensive game, and he disappears in the playoffs (except for in extreme circumstances like the other team missing their starting center). He's good for rebounding and some highlight dunks/blocks in the regular season, and that's about it.
DJ has been in the league for six seasons now. He pretty much is what he is now, and what he is is nowhere near good enough to be declared untouchable if trading him can help fill the holes in our roster. We have too many regular season players, and DJ is one of them.
The problem is who are you going to get that is any better,and don't even think about mentioning that prehistoric dinosaur Kevin Garnett he's beyond finished.
see what happens this upcoming season, if he improves then keep if not then find someone still under 30 who is better at doing the basics
If there is an center that can be had ..
one that can defend and score..
me might have to part with dj..
since he has an expiring contract this year and will be asking for more than the 10 mil he is making now,
We shh him while his stock is still high. Maybe the Clippers can convince some dumb GM into giving us a starting center and swing man.
I'm a big DJ supporter and think he had a great season and still has tons of potential defensively (would benefit greatly if we had some decent perimeter defense a la Chicago or Indiana). Offensively his hands suck and shot is worse, if he could hold onto the ball his footwork is pretty good in my opinion.
With that said, if you can fill in his spot with a Gortat and get Deng or an Ariza you have to do it right. The only thing I question is can we give up his durability. He is a workhorse and I think we take for granted that he is going to play every night. If we can keep him for 12-13 I think we should. I'm on the fence about trading him, but it has to be a good value in our favor.
Doc saw DJ's potentials and made him a great player. Remind you this was done in the off season. He was considered best defensive player of the year. Whether you like him or not, give him the credit that's due. I see him #1 defensive player next season. This team has bonded and needs to concentrate on getting to the finals next year, bringing in another player will cause them to start from square one. I must say prior to Doc Rivers coming to the Clippers I wanted DJ traded, I didn't see any contributions he was making except for dunking. Now he is one of the top three players for the Clippers.
The Nevada Fans
If only the Wolves didn't have a center, DJ would be a great centerpiece for a trade with love. He'll be great on an up and coming team and has the potential to be a great ticket seller. If Doc want to go the Phoenix suns route of just trying to score as much point, maybe even DJ for Jefferson. Just throwing out scenarios
Ultimately, I'd rather that we keep DJ because he still hasn't reach his full potential, injury free, and accepts his role
I loved the improvement I saw from DJ this season the dilemma I'm facing is that when I read all of the boards and see the talk about how all we need is a starting SF there is something that just doesn't sit right.
We have heading into next season a cap number of around 73-74 million and of that we have 55-56 million committed to 4 starters but we have people who believe that we have to add another high caliber starter who at the SF position will likely command 10 mil +(Deng). Doc has some serious decisions to make because short term we invested wisely but long term we aren't getting nearly the bang for our post season buck that we should.
Doc may have to consider something like the Bulls die when they traded Charles oakley after he led the league in rebounds for Bill Cartwright.
While I loved the improvements to Deandre Jordan's game and what he brings to the team defensively I feel that they have to move him to get a true 3rd star at the SF position. What do all 4 teams in the conference finals have in common? A superstar at SF (Kawhi Leonard isn't a superstar but he is a quality player!). What else do they all have in common? None of them have a top 10 center.
Because SF is arguably the only position that can truly be guarded by their opposite number I think having a top 10 SF would take this team to the next level. I would love for us to get Melo or possibly Ariza but Deandre Jordan's inability to hit free throws or provide any offensive threat really damages us against quality opposition that we meet in the playoffs.
Paul George isn't a superstar SF either. He's not even close.
He's been in the league 4 years and is a 2 time all star, won most improved player, has seen his contributions go up every year, no slumps and is arguably the best wing defender in the league and has led his team to the best record in the East..
Besides the fact that none of those accolades makes him a superstar, you also lied about some of those statements.
He has absolutely had slumps, he had a 3 month long slump just this season.
Also, he's NOT arguably the best wing defender in the league. Find me one person who would take George over LeBron, Allen, Leonard or Iggy on defense.
Being a 2 time All-star doesn't make someone a "superstar"
When I was talking about no slumps I meant year to year. His average points scored has gone up by at least 4.5 every year. How you can say he isn't one of the top defenders when he was All Defensive 2nd team and is at the top of nearly every defensive metric is crazy to me.
Also my point was that of the 4 years he has been in the league 2 of them have been All-Star years. I'll name you two other players who also made the All Star game in their third year and beyond. LeBron and Kobe.
Just because a player gets better each year it doesn't mean he's instantly a superstar. Are Bledsoe, Hayward and Klay Thompson also superstars?
And why do you keep equating All-star selections with being a superstar? Are you saying there are about 25 superstars in any given NBA season? That's hilarious.
Why would you bring up Bledsoe, Hayward, and Thompson when none of them even made the all star?
Back to the topic, there's a thin line between all star and superstar. It just depends on one's preference.
Back in the day players like Reggie Miller and Mitch Richmond were billed as superstar but when comparing to other superstar of their era like. Jordan, Barkley, Wilkinss, Olajuwon etc, Mitch and Miller didn't put the same stat lines as those guys.
Yao Ming was once called a superstar just based on his marketability.
Pippen throughout his career went from robin, all star, to superstar depend on who you talk to.
Currently people have this debate whether Blake is a superstar or not. Whereas Kevin Love put up superstar stats but he's in a losing team plus isn't marketable that people don't label him superstar.
In the end, it just depends on your definition of a superstar
I've always believed that all stars were made in the regular season and superstars were made in the post season. There is a long list of all stars in the era of basketball that can ascend to superstar status but have not been able to really dominate over the course of a post season run.
sadly so far also known as Blake Griffin
It's fine CapsNClips don't comprehend what I'm actually saying, just gloss over it. It depends on your definition of superstar and I have given several arguments why I believe Paul George is one but you don't seem to be understanding any of them.
Anyhow it's going to be an interesting off-season!
Talking about a guy at the beginning of his career is absurd. Let's see what he does as he approaches his prime. My bet is that BG will exceed all the naysayers predictions. This applies to DJ too -- to keep this on topic.

Find answers to these and other questions in the Survival Guide
Pulmonary Hypertension: A Patient's Survival Guide is a resource book for patients and caregivers that was written by PH patient Gail Boyer Hayes and is published by the Pulmonary Hypertension Association. Known informally as just the "Survival Guide," this important book serves as a soup-to-nuts guide for patients and their loved ones covering topics like the mechanics of PH, the latest treatments, patient care and lifestyle issues.
The latest Fifth Edition, 2014 is now available as a print book. The Fifth Edition, 2013 is available as an e-book. Order your copy today:
*denotes chapter revised for the Fifth Edition, 2014 Revision
Author, Gail Boyer Hayes, wrote the Survival Guide to help answer the questions that a newly diagnosed patient and his or her loved ones may have after leaving the doctor's office with a PH diagnosis. The book explains the disease process, presently available treatments, and promising new treatments that may be available in the not-too-distant future, taking away much of the scariness of PH.
The book also frankly discusses difficult subjects like life expectancy, the risks of various treatments, and how PH can sometimes be inherited. Anecdotes about how other PH patients have coped with difficult situations and suggestions on how to make patients' and caregivers' lives easier are included, as are suggestions on getting insurance coverage and free legal help in dealing with government agencies. For those who want to explore beyond the covers of the book, there are descriptions of helpful organizations, websites, PH drug companies and an index.
To keep the information in the Survival Guide up to date, the book is revised annually by a team of volunteer patient and medical writers under the leadership of Ron Oudiz, MD, the book's medical editor. The most current version of the book is the Fifth Edition, 2014 Revision.
PH organizations around the world have translated the Survival Guide, making this valuable resource even more accessible to the international community. You can now read the book in Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Farsi, and more translations are on the way. Learn more
You can become part of our patient reviewing team! For every revision of the book, this team reviews content to make sure it is understandable to a patient audience. The Survival Guide was originally written by a PH patient for fellow patients, so your voice is ever so important. Contact email@example.com to learn more.

Great series
Plan on using rechargable dc power in the future
I have had any low power micro need in the past
Picking up another class a bit late
I have used interruption and two christal im my projects.
I have used WDT for one of my application. I was using LPC1343 from NXP for my design.
What is the difference between Pipelined Excution & Intelligent Control- Low Power?
I use battery DC and Adapter DC power for my designs.
thank you Warren,
What is the benefits and trades-off of executing program from RAM?
@garysxt: Does PoE mean Power over Ethernet? What is line voltage?
@Warren: How could we measure the power consumption of the board in the case it run in very low power mode? I guess they dont have to wait for weeks or months to give a conclusion?
Catching up. Firmware Engineer working in the medical devices market.
Missed live presentation and catching up for the next one. Have used line voltage, PoE, battery for power source. Working on a project using solar.
used mcu with remote controls (halt mode) and water meters (halt mode) and also couple of sleep modes
use ac/dc power supplies and batteries
Sydney Australia
Thanks Miller, excellent presentation
Cannot load the WE Energy harvesting brochure document (slide 19)
Thank you.
Thanks for presentation...

DC Power supply
Hope to see you all at the next class- and at all the rest of the classes this week!
Thanx for attending.
Sorry running late today.
Thank you Warren for very good start, looking forrawd for more! Now is a reading time... :)
Anatolly1086- Strange, Must be a tinyurl glitch. Thanx for checking.
Anyone else have any other questions?
@Warren: I have Chrome browser, Note I have checked all links a few days ago they all had worked, but today the top one does not.
Skechy- The term Gated for the CPU clock basically means that the clock to the CPU is turned off (usually a gate is placed such that the clcok can be forced high or low- thus "Gated" off. This helps reduce dynamic current since nothing in the CPU will change state while the clock is Off.
kzmackay- Rechargable batteries are the typical approach. A super cap might work too however. Take a look and see if that will work for you.
@gordon: I have mine Starbucks GC by email as print type
>30 years of electronic product design in Portland Oregon
ChrisJ- Rework on proto PCBs- interesting. I hadn't thought about that. Is this from needed to resolder components or something else?
For energy harvesting (solar), do people typically use in conjunction with rechargeable battery? I'm finding that the rechargable version is boosting cost considerably.
Anatolly1086- Good to know they work OK for you. What browser are you using?
How do you know if you will receive a Starbucks gift card?
We've also found a lot of other things that contribute to energy use.....like rework on proto PCBs. Also, 70uA for a battery gas gauge becomes a lot when you're aiming for 150-200 uA in standby!
The list of links at slide 19 are all clickable and all worked for me...
thanks for the first day, until tomorrow.
Solar power is also a very interesting power source. It can be fairly complex, but there are some good devices to help with harvesting solar at low currents available. Look for this to be a big growth area.
Looks like several people have used low power modes- thats probably the most important way to reduce your power consumption.
See you tomorrow
Thanks for the link!
Here is a link to the web page for the energy harvesting kit: http://www.we-online.com/web/en/electronic_components/produkte_pb/demoboards/energy_harvesting/energy_harvesting.php
Looks like only the first link is broken. Others are OK.
If clickable links don't work just copy and paste in browser TI link with copy paste worked.
Great presentation, thanks.
Thanks, Warren
Thanks Warren
Good lecture!
Keep up the good work, please.
Thank you. Rod. R.
I will add the links in the chat later today so come back to it if you need to.
Great class. Hearing about other people's projects was interesting also.
Great Intro Looking forward to tomorrow's lecture
Thanks Lauren & Warren
We will discuss the use of external components in future classes. Thanx for the suggestion.
Thanks for the intro...
FYI, the first link on the "resources" slide (WE Energy Harvesting brochure) doesn't work. The TinyURL redirects, but nothing comes up. Haven't checked the others. Also, can I request that you make them actual clickable hyperlinks?
Thank you , that was my first time speaking about lower power MCU , It was very interestin
Arseny Vuzman
When we want low power, we shut down entire MCU and then have various external triggers to wake-up the MCU's power supply.
Warren thank you for this great presentation.
Thanks everyone!
hi all
Thanks very much
Thanks Warren & Lauren.
thanks Warren
thanks warren!
Thanks, looking forward to tomorrow Warren
first link (WE Energy not working, others are ok)
Got down to less than 100uW with an external crystal using TI MPS430.
Early PIC ones that were timer (WDT), not event driven.
I've used a number of different low power features. Sleep mode, reduced clock freq, turning off features that aren't needed, irq.
try to make extensive use of sleep, watchdog and interrupts
I've used very low power modes. Usually having everything shut down waiting for an interrupt or a watchdog timer wake up.
Low power, suspend mode for ARM and FPGA
haven't used low power before
Often used sleep modes and wake-up on timer to reduce power usage.
what is the meaning 'Gated' in CPU clk gate?
i have used designs that vary the MCU frequency as needed.
automotive keyfob design used wake on keypress - coin cell battery needs to have 5 year lifetime before change
sleep mode for remote, battery backed SRAM
Yes, low power RF designs
Used low power modes on MSP430 and LM4F120 TI M4
I've only used sleep to minimize consumption so far
Used battery backup
Yes, putting processor to sleep, and waking up only after a key is pressed
Thank you very much
Rechargable battery

Tips for Use:To obtain the best results from RowaPhos and to keep your tank at zero phosphate levels it is important when starting up a new tank or a tank with phosphate levels in that has matured, to use RowaPhos on a permanent basis.RowaPhos will absorb phosphate, silicates and arsenic. It is entirely safe in both fresh and saltwater systems. It does not release, when exhausted, any chemicals back into the water. ie phosphate, silicates or arsenic.It is currently being used on a saltwater fish tank and has been for the last four years with five times the recommended requirement and it is only changed when phosphate levels coming out of the canister, where it is placed, begin to rise after approximately six to seven months.How to use:
Note:Unfortunately, most phosphate test kits available are not capable of reading low levels of phosphate. It is necessary in a saltwater fish tank to always keep your levels below 0.015ppm

Man, Petros has such a loud voice. Skip the coffee just let me listen to Petros that'll wake me up
Collison said this is the first time he's had to travel for such a long stretch due to the grammy trip. L.A. teams are at a disadvantage in that regard

Find out before your departure how you can check in baggage for your Lufthansa, partner airline or Star Alliance flight at airports in Germany. If you have already received your boarding pass on your mobile phone, online or at a check-in counter, you have the option of checking in your bags at one of the self-service baggage check-in kiosks.
Checking in baggage at the self-service baggage kiosks
At Frankfurt, Munich and Hamburg airports you can check in your bags quickly and easily at the self-service baggage kiosks.
The only requirement: you must be in possession of a boarding pass which you have issued via your mobile phone, online or at a check-in machine. With your boarding pass you can check in your bags easily yourself at the self-service check-in baggage kiosks.
Where to find the self-service baggage kiosks
In Frankfurt Airport you currently have the option of checking in your luggage at two self-service baggage kiosks. You will find the baggage kiosks at Frankfurt in Departure Hall B, counters 453-461.
At Munich Airport there are 19 self-service baggage check-in kiosks available. These are located at the northern and southern entrances to the Terminal 2 departures hall by counters 410-415, 476-482 and 485-490.
At Hamburg Airport you will find the baggage kiosks at the 'head of the island' of check-in rows 7 - 8.
Requirements for checking in your bags
To enable you to check in your bags at a self-service baggage kiosk, you must already have your boarding pass. You should also have valid travel documents with you. If you are travelling with excess or special baggage, please go straight to a baggage drop-off counter.
Checking in bags at the self-service baggage kiosk – how it works:
- 1.Place your boarding pass barcode-side down on the scanner. If you are using a mobile boarding pass, please make sure that your phone's background light is switched on.
- 2.Check the details of your booking which appear on the screen and press Check in baggage if all the details are correct.
- 3.Place your first item of baggage on the conveyor belt.
- 4.The self-adhesive baggage tag is printed out automatically.
- 5.Attach the tag to your bag.
- 6.Confirm the removal of your bag on the conveyor belt. You can now check in your other items of baggage.
- 7.A receipt will be printed out for your checked baggage. Please retain this receipt until you have collected your bags at your destination airport.
Checking in baggage at the baggage check-in counter
After you have received your boarding pass on your mobile, online or from a check-in machine, you can check in your baggage conveniently at a baggage check-in counter.
As a receipt for your checked baggage you will receive a part of the baggage tag; this helps us to trace your bags should they be lost. Please keep this tag receipt with you until you have collected all your bags at your destination airport.
Checking in your bags at the bulky-baggage counter
Surfboards, pushchairs or big backpacks – some items of baggage must be checked in separately at the bulky-baggage counter. At Frankfurt Airport you can hand in your bulky items of baggage at counter 445. At Munich Airport the counter is located in Terminal 2, Level 04 by counters 25 and 26.
You can find out from Lufthansa staff at the airport whether your bag is considered to be bulky baggage.

Phew! Even by my standards that was quite a walk. Sitting on the bus on the way home my pedometer had registered 38,731 steps, that's just short of 19 miles. Just to round things up I got off the bus a stop early and made it up to 20 miles with an extra little walk.
Sitting on the bus my legs were beginning to ache, not a lot of leg room. I just hoped they would still move when it was time to get off! Still nothing that a nice long soak in the bath won't sort out.
My digital camera must have very nearly reached it's capacity, although I did have a spare memory card with me, and spare batteries which I needed. So expect to see plenty of photos on this blog in the next few days and weeks. They are mostly of the Sussex scenery, but there are several churches and several ancestral connections.
I will try and plot my route on a Google Map, but for those interested the key places were: Henfield (starting point), Blackstone, Sayers Common, Hurst Wickham, Hurstpierpoint, Wolstonbury Hill, Clayton and Hassocks (finishing point). I will give a full description when I have recovered (an early night tonight I think) pointing out the genealogical highlights along the way!
I am really pleased I went walking, it was a beautiful day, perhaps a little warm at times (and a bit of a rush to get back home). I visited several areas I had never been to before and reacquainted myself with some I haven't visited for a long time. Most of all however I enjoyed being out in Sussex, in what I would consider typical Sussex countryside, on Sussex Day.
Here is one photo to be going on with, Sussex stretched out beneath me, as I surveyed the countyside from the vantage point of Wolstonbury Hill.

I would take back jarett jack - he and Paul are close friends. He is a good player and actually I think an upgrade over collison. If they take back one of our bad contracts I prefer to keep bullock and give up a pick for Tyler. He's more of a sure thing than any big man prospect we would likely be in a position to draft. I'd hope to keep bullock and develop those two. I worry if we trade bullock and barnes/Dudley we will still be undermanned at the 3
Feel like as soon as we trade for Webster it would be Dudley all over again and his injuries would kick in throughout the years.
For a big man he sets solid hard picks. Reminds me of Steigma without the range
Well, who would you rather have? A guy who might be Dudley? Or Dudley?
Someone dependable would pay little more not to be worried about another injury issue.
I'm not keen on moving Reggie unless it's for someone a bit more established. For a Mahini or Collison I would be ok, but not really liking that as of right now. I feel like we can get the same production from a Shavlick player. Let's get rid of some of the weight we have not unload our only real asset.
Can it be Dudley instead of Bullock? They need outside shooting. Maybe we can send a stat guy in the negotiation table and show them how great Dudley is.
@DanWoikeSports: Pretty much everyone calling the Clippers is asking for Reggie Bullock. Clippers really like him, though.
Then why hasn't he been getting any minutes?
I like reggie but I think 3 and D guys are easier to come by than quality bigs. I would make the trade but I wish there was a way to upgrade our wings as well.
Exactly. With all the injuries the team had, doc blew an opportunity to truly develop him
I'm so nervous no moves will be made!
Looks old everyone has been asking for Reggie. They know he will be a solid player, only our team is dumb enough not to play him when our wings are sucking
Haha that is too funny Jarca! If only that could work.
Agreed - but i would rather trade him for a productive player rather than see him rot on our bench. Doc has a bugaboo about rookies
Trade deadline ends at 12:00 PST right?
I think this will happen
LOL. The Cavs were going to gift us a good backup big, but nothing is going to happen because we overvalue someone we never play. Unbelievable.
If we don't make any moves, my excitement for the rest of the season is nil.
I don't think any of the stat people think Dudley is playing well this year. The questions with him are how much of his problems are injury related, what are the chances of him bouncing back and who has sucked more between him and Barnes. He's definitely been bad though and wouldn't have much trade value to a team that expects much of anything for him this year.
He probably would have got some run when Barnes was out with his eye injury, but unfortunately he got hurt at the same time. More recently though even if Doc isn't as down Dudley or Barnes as fans I don't really see any good reason for Bullock to have been behind Green.
If no trades are done, Bullock has to start playing actual productive minutes every night to even begin to justify not improving the team.
Cleveland and Washington are in talks about Ariza for Deng. We should jump in on that there are a lot of options there. If we could get Ariza, Webster, Zeller, Seraphin, or Booker it could be a steal. Even if we could take a Singleton or Harrington for Barnes at least we could get a contract off our books.
I have mixed feelings toward Barnes, part of me thinks he could turn it around while another part is saying it was a bad contract on the back end of a role players career. It's not that I don't think Barnes can play a good role, but rather it's that I think Championship teams get that production from cheaper role players.
Cleveland is moving away from trying to get a first round pick for Deng and going for a veteran, so if they are the ones trying to get Ariza, they wouldn't just give him to us as we unload our weaker players. Our guys aren't expiring, that's one of the issues, so unless these teams have them in their future plans, it just doesn't make sense for them.
It's looking like there will be no trades for us.
Majority of our weaker players are expiring and they are trying to unload Jack on someone. They even stated they want vet wing help Barnes or Dudley could be had they can unload Jack to Sac and we pick up Thompson give a first to the Cavs and do a separate Zeller for TPE.
I think the clippers should pursue Harrison Barnes. Keep Matt, he will be there for defense and get ride of dudley. Harrison, has so much potenial, i think he is a future Star. Come on Doc get rid of dudlet
Sucks that we didn't do anything to address our glaring weaknesses. Oh well, I guess hollins, Dudley and Barnes are just going to have to step it up, A LOT, for us to compete for a championship.
Shumps value is down. Bullock for Shump straight up. Knicks are dumb enough to do it.
I would offer Dudley and Mullens now since value is lower on shump. But man I REALLY DONT WANT FELTON. Shump for Bullock straight up is a way to be ok with letting bullock go. I really liked this kid
Shumps value is down. Bullock for Shump straight up. Knicks are dumb enough to do it.
Hell no dude has a strained MCL they get second rounders for that guy now.
I don't want to let collison go. Damn sure don't want felton as our backup PG. EWWWW
I hope it doesn't happen!!!
We lose a great back up pg (Collison) and our best defender (Barnes) for a shooting guard who can't shoot?
I have faith in the guys we have now. We can compete if Dudley and Barnes step it up
Shump has limited value a deal now would be because the Knicks don't want to waste time with him recovering. He is Willie Green level value people!
Jamison traded to hawks?!?
Jamison is traded!! Please be Mike Scott or Pero Antic!
I wonder for who. Hope its a big to add to our frontline
No way I want to see Fat Rat wearing a Clippers uniform.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA 46s
Clippers discussing Darren Collison, Willie Green and Matt Barnes for Iman Shumpert and Raymond Felton, league source tells Yahoo.
Did we get a player from ATL...?
This is bad if true.
For who????????
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA 20s
No deal for the Clippers and Knicks.
Baron Davis j/k.. I agree don't want Felton in clippers uniform
If they take Mullens it's a deal.
Now it appears we have 2 open roster spots, unless we got someone back from ATL. This could be OK.
Well, we got rid of one player.
People will be disappointed once they see Iman shoots

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
BREEN � When John Lee accepted his gold crown as �mayor� of Breen on Saturday night, he told a crowd of about 60 residents that, �Nothing is too good for Breen, and that�s exactly what I�m going to do.�
Lee was �elected� after helping stuff ballot boxes with money (the box with the most money won) as part of the biennial Breen Chili Supper and Auction, which raises money to help support the Breen Community Building, often called the Breen Grange.
Also �elected� Saturday were Mike Crawford as sheriff and George Morley Jr. as dog catcher.
In addition to stuffing the ballot box, there was a silent auction and a dessert auction with local auctioneer Bob Cooper.
Mae Morley, secretary-treasurer of the Breen Community Building committee and event organizer, said the $2,100 raised will help pay for the building�s utilities and upkeep for almost a year.
The supper and auction also was created to �get more interest and have a fun event� for the Breen community, Morley said.
�It�s just silly,� she said.
In his victory speech, with gold crown perched atop his white cowboy hat, Lee said he wanted to �thank my wife for getting me here � she�s the one who drove.�
Speaking more seriously, Lee told the crowd that �What we need is more community. This (event) is a great show of that.�
In a post-election interview, Lee said he has a longtime connection to the community building.
His grandparents first met when his grandfather saw a woman riding a horse by Lightner Creek, they got together for the first time at a dance at the grange building.
Of course, the couple got married. They even became part of the dance group that �danced their way across Colorado� and won awards. A photo of the dance team, including Lee�s grandparents, is in a display cabinet in the building, along with a reunion photo from years later.
The building now also accommodates various events for organizations such as the Fort Lewis Mesa Fire Department and the Mountain Shadows 4-H Club, which helped with the chili supper, and other groups.
Morley said Breen has changed. The community building is across the street from what used to be Breen Mercantile, where she went to buy things when she was a child. Very little has been able to thrive in the Mercantile building in recent years, and it is for sale again.
�The community paid for this building,� Morley said.
The turnout wasn�t as big as organizers hoped it would be, because of several factors.
Lee said the cold temperature is one reason. Some would have to make sure their livestock are taken care of in the low temperatures, which dipped below 10 degrees in some areas early Sunday morning.
Still, even the results of the dessert auction show locals� commitment to the community and the building that represents it.
�If someone is going to spend $130 on a pie, it�s not for the pie,� Lee said.

Beams of at least 50 flashlights lit up the sky Wednesday night at Joe Stephenson Park in Bayfield as community members gathered to celebrate and remember the 14th birthday of Dylan Redwine.
Wednesday marked 80 days since Dylan went missing from his father�s house in Vallecito.
�I know that a lot of you, like myself, never thought we would be standing here 80 days later with still no word and nothing to go on except hope,� said Denise Hess, a devoted family friend who has spearheaded most of the local efforts to find the boy. �That�s what we�re here to do tonight, is to show the world and show Elaine (Redwine, Dylan�s mother) and show Dylan�s family and show this community that we still hope.�
Hess emphasized the importance of social media in the search for the missing teenager and celebrated the fact that the Find Missing Dylan Redwine Facebook page had received more than 10,000 �likes� as of Tuesday.
Several other community members spoke about maintaining hope and keeping the search alive.
�I want my own children to know I would never stop looking for them,� said Julia Hollingsworth.
At 7 p.m., people in the crowd turned their flashlights to the stars and sang �Happy Birthday� in hopes that their lights and voices would join others across the area.
Community members in three other cities � Farmington, Monument and Westminster � also held rallies called �Beams of Hope Birthday Blaze� to honor Dylan�s birthday.
Elaine Redwine was expected to attend the event in Monument, where the family moved last summer. The Westminster celebration was held at the park memorializing Jessica Ridgeway, the 10-year-old who was kidnapped and killed in October, Hess said.
In Bayfield, two birthday cakes awaited the crowd when they finished singing. One cake was decorated with the scene of a river, one of Redwine�s favorite places, and the other read: �Beams of Hope for Dylan.�
Attendees also signed posters for Dylan, and his friends videotaped the event with the goal of compiling the entire search process into a video for Dylan when he returns, Ryan Nava said.
Mark Redwine, Dylan�s father, did not attend the Bayfield event to the dismay of some community members.
Earlier Wednesday, Central Dispatch and the La Plata County Sheriff�s Office began receiving calls from Front Range and New Mexico media outlets asking if Dylan�s body had been found. Dan Bender, spokesman for the Sheriff�s Office, said those are rumors, and they are completely false.
�We haven�t even sent deputies out on an unattended death today,� he said. �Sometimes people can hear one of those calls and misinterpret it, then with phone trees and social media, it gets all twisted. But I don�t know where today�s rumors started.�
Bender said his office didn�t know whether the rumors were started �as a cruel prank on Dylan�s birthday, or if they were simply gross misinformation.�
With information about Dylan�s disappearance still sparse, an Edgewood, N.M.-based canine forensics organization announced it will lend its services to look for Dylan�s body. According to a report in The Gazette of Colorado Springs, Wendy Kessinger, owner of the nonprofit Special Operations Inc., K-9 Forensics, will spend a few weeks in Vallecito and provide the entire service for free.

Joe Mahoney/The I-News Network
When she was 3, Torrie Smith tripped on an uneven sidewalk, fell face down onto some steps and broke four front teeth. An emergency room doctor stopped the bleeding and gave her something for the pain, but Torrie didn�t see a dentist for six months � her first time ever � because her parents didn�t have dental insurance and didn�t have cash to pay for an examination.
Now 4, Torrie�s dental problems are so severe she has to go to an operating room, not a dentist�s chair, to have them fixed. While she is under anesthesia, an abscessed incisor will be pulled and nine other cavity-ravaged teeth will be pulled or treated.
Torrie�s toothaches, along with the risk and high cost associated with curing them, probably could have been avoided. She is like many children in low-income families in Colorado who rarely, if ever, see a dentist even though they can go for free.
State Medicaid data reported to the federal government show that fewer than half of the 453,000 Coloradans younger than 21 who were eligible for benefits in federal fiscal year 2011 received some kind of dental service. Only a quarter of Colorado counties met a 2010 state goal of getting at least 44 percent of Medicaid-eligible residents younger than 19 to visit a dentist, according to an I-News analysis of state records.
�Dental disease is not self resolving,� said Diane Brunson, director of public health for the University of Colorado�s School of Dental Medicine. �It�s not like catching a cold, and you put up with it for a week or 10 days and you�re fine. You have to get treatment. And it�s so much more beneficial all the way around � to the child, to their family, to taxpayers � if dental problems can be prevented.�
While the state appears to be making strides in improving its numbers, part of the problem is the paucity of dentists willing to see Medicaid children. Only 10 percent of Colorado�s 3,500 or so dentists are considered �significant� Medicaid providers, meaning that they are reimbursed for at least 100 visits per year. Moreover, 20 of Colorado�s 64 counties do not have a dentist who accepts Medicaid.
In total, 21 percent of the dentists report having some Medicaid patients, and only 16 percent say they are willing to accept new Medicaid patients.
Plenty of Colorado children covered by commercial dental insurance also fail to see a dentist regularly. But kids in low-income families are most at risk for tooth decay, which is the most common childhood disease.
A state health department survey released in October showed that 73 percent of third-graders in Colorado�s poorest public schools (measured by eligibility for free- or reduced-price lunches) have had a cavity compared with 41 percent of third-graders in more affluent schools. Untreated cavities affected 19 percent of kindergartners in the poorest schools, but only 7 percent in high-income schools.
Proper care of primary, or baby, teeth is just as important as adult dental care, dentists say. Baby teeth reserve space for the permanent teeth that eventually will replace them. They help in the development of speech and help give a child�s face a normal appearance.
Decaying baby teeth can make it difficult for children to chew food and can damage the permanent teeth growing beneath them. Many kids in pain end up using expensive emergency room services or undergoing multiple dental procedures while under anesthesia.
�People tend to believe that because they�re just baby teeth and they�re going to fall out, we don�t need to worry about them,� said Karen Cody Carlson, executive director of Oral Health Colorado, an umbrella group of oral health advocates. �They don�t realize that kids can get severe infections, life-threatening infections, sometimes.�
Apples are Torrie�s favorite food, but she also likes gummy fruit snacks, Sweet Tarts, chocolate and soda. In the living room of their home in Montbello, a northeast Denver neighborhood, Anthony and Wendie Smith say they thought they had been doing enough by brushing their daughter�s teeth twice a day ever since her first incisors erupted. They never took Torrie to the dentist because they didn�t have dental insurance at the time (Anthony recently became eligible through his job) and couldn�t afford the cost. Anthony, 27, is a mechanic and Wendie, 26, is a stay-at-home mom.
It didn�t occur to the Smiths, they say, that Medicaid would cover Torrie�s dental care. Wendie had qualified while pregnant and Torrie was enrolled in Medicaid as an infant. �When she came along,� Wendie says of Torrie, �they gave me a (Medicaid) card and said it was for her doctor visits. They didn�t say dental or anything like that.�
After Torrie fell on the sidewalk, the emergency room doctor told them she needed to see a dentist. Wendie says she called several around Castle Rock, where they were living then, but all wanted money up front that they couldn�t pay. Meanwhile, Torrie�s front teeth were turning black and Wendie had to cut her food into small pieces.
A friend eventually mentioned that Medicaid might help. The first dentist to see Torrie reshaped her two front teeth with porcelain, but her parents didn�t take her back for further treatment because she �didn�t feel comfortable there,� her mother says.
The Smiths found Gillespie around Halloween when a flier sent home from Torrie�s preschool mentioned that his Li�l Teeth Dentistry practice in Aurora accepts Medicaid patients. Gillespie says he treats children on Medicaid, who make up about 60 percent of his practice, because he was on Medicaid as a child. �For me, it�s very personal to make sure these kids get all the treatment they need,� he says. �Everyone deserves to be treated.�

Former Durango resident Aaron Turner died Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2012, in Denver. He was 36.
Mr. Turner had suffered a heart attack eight years ago and had an experimental heart-assist pump implanted four years later. He suffered with chronic pain and infections, his family said, recently suffering multiple strokes and failing kidneys.
He was born to Barbara Turner on July 3, 1976, in White Bear Lake, Minn.
He began a cooking career in Winter Park and Durango, working in Durango from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. Among other places, he worked at Chelsea�s London Pub and Scoot �n� Blues. After he left Durango, Mr. Turner attended culinary school.
He was a chef on Martha�s Vineyard in Massachusetts when he had his heart attack.
His son, Eli Kuntz, said his father was �a very intelligent, very kind guy who was very in tune with people.�
His passion was cooking and riding dirt bikes, motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles. Mr. Turner also enjoyed shooting pool, old cars and trucks, music, especially Johnny Cash, art, gardening, camping, fishing, target practice and reading. He was an avid chess player.
�Nature�s grandeur was special to him, and he liked gazing at the night sky and watching sunsets,� his family said. �He amazed doctors and served as a physical and spiritual inspiration to those around him. Friends started teaching him about having 29 lives.�
Mr. Turner was preceded in death by the woman his family called �the love of his life,� Amy Klees.
He is survived by his parents, Charles and Barbara Wagner, of rural Monte Vista, with whom he was living; son, Eli Kuntz of Durango; grandmother Jane Wagner of Monte Vista; foster brother, Travis Minear of Granby; and numerous great-aunts and uncles, aunts and uncles and extended family members.
