Dontrelle Willis considering becoming a pitching coach
Apr 19, 2014, 6:55 PM EDT
Dontrelle Willis did not stay in Triple-A very long. The Giants signed the lefty to a minor league deal back in January and officially added him to the Grizzlies' roster last week, but Willis made two appearances before suffering an arm injury. The Giants wasted no time in releasing Willis.
Jon Heyman of CBS Sports is reporting that Willis is now considering becoming a pitching coach, and has had "a couple feelers" according to his agent Matt Sosnick.
One can imagine Willis teaching a young left-hander his unorthodox wind-up for some easy laughs, but Willis could also be valuable given his experience, his battles with adversity, and his general positive demeanor. Willis last completed a full season in the big leagues in 2007, but he has fought tooth-and-nail to get back ever since, which is quite admirable.

Rob Deer IS a hitting coach. He was the assistant hitting coach for the Cubs last season.
- genericcommenter - Apr 19, 2014 at 11:28 PM
Rob Deer can hit at least 47% better than your mother.

Good for him. Sucks that his career is over. I remember when he was with the marlins. He was really good with them
- bbk1000 - Apr 19, 2014 at 8:40 PM
Again….those who can, do, those who can't……well, they teach, or try to teach….
That said, this guy has a chance as a pitching coach…..

Ignorant comment. A comment like that shows you've never taught a day in your life.
- annapterp - Apr 20, 2014 at 12:00 PM
Get over yourself. It was an amusing comment, and I have taught and coached.
- mattzeni15222451 - Apr 19, 2014 at 10:22 PM
I always thought he could become an outfielder or DH, he always seemed like a good guy and i hope he finds a job in coaching
- Old Gator - Apr 20, 2014 at 10:44 AM
I don't understand why his skills, once so substantial, deteriorated so precipitously, but his persistence was remarkable. I met him twice when he was with the Feesh, two years apart. The first time was in a restaurant on South Beach, a thirty second exchange that consisted of a couple of smiles, a handshake, an expression of appreciation on my part and an almost shy thank-you on his. The second time, which was mostly just a repeat in a small jazz club in the same neighborhood, I said "good luck with the season" and he said "hey, nice to see you again."
I wish him all the best.
- southernballhawk1 - Apr 21, 2014 at 12:59 AM
I wish someone wold give him one last chance! He's one of my favorite pitchers ever!

I can't take off my rear brake drum off from my 2002 Toyota celica gt
Problems for specific Toyota Celica years:
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Newest reported Toyota Celica problems
take it off
ABS Warning Light Due to Failed Wheel Speed Sensor
At higher mileages, an anti-lock brake system wheel speed sensor may wear out and illuminate the ABS warning light. It is recommended to replace the sensor with a factory part and be sure to clean all rust and debris from the mounting area because the mounting distance is critical. Failure to do so may result in the new sensor setting false trouble codes. Be sure to check the condition and runout of the front wheel bearings on the 2WD and 4WD vehicles and the CV joints on the 4WD vehicles since worn wheel bearings and/or CV joints can cause the ABS trigger rings to rub against the ABS sensors and damage them.
Check Engine Light Due to Restricted EGR System
The EGR System tends to get restricted or blocked with carbon after 100,000- 125,000 miles which will cause an emissions test failure for NOX. If the EGR system is equipped with an EGR temperature sensor it will trigger a Check Engine Light for improper EGR flow. The repair is to clean out the EGR passages and the EGR Temperature sensor. Our technicians tell this repair is pretty straight forward and takes about 1-1.5 hours. It is also wise to verify the EGR system components i.e. the Transducer, EGR Valve and VSV Solenoid at this time.
Sound When Driving Over Bumps May be Struts/Bearing Plates
If the vehicle develops an annoying, clunking sound when driving over bumps it is usually the struts and strut bearing plates. These may need replacing at 100,000-125,000 miles or sooner. If the noise is a more of a squeak or groan, it can be usually be eliminated by spraying a light lubricant on the suspension bushings 1-2 times per year.
Check Engine Light on Due to EVAP Vapor Canister Fault
The Evaporative system may have problems with the vapor canister releasing charcoal pellets that plug the vent valve. Typically a Code P0441, P0442 and P0446 will be set. The key code is the P0446 which is a vent valve electrical failure. The proper repair is to replace the entire canister with all the valves as a unit. This is located on top of the fuel tank and is expensive. Our Technicians tell us that for awhile Toyota was covering these problems, but this may have changed. It would not hurt to call the dealer if this problem occurs to see if Toyota is still helping with these repairs.
Engine Won't Crank Due To Starter
If the vehicle will not crank over, the most common problem is the starter, which tend to fail at about 100,00-125,000 miles. Sometimes it is only the starter solenoid contacts, but often the complete starter (including solenoid) needs to be replaced.
Worn Shift Bushings Will Cause Manual Transmission to Pop Out of Gear
On vehicles with a manual transmission, worn shift bushings can cause the transmission to pop out of gear, especially when coasting down in 1st or 2nd gear. Replacing all the shift linkage bushings is pretty straight forward and not expensive and will commonly correct this concern.
Loss of Power at Freeway Speeds
A loss of power on the freeway may due to an internally leaking fuel pulsation dampener. This commonly occurs on higher mileage vehicles.
Hesitation or No Start Due to Internal Distributor Fault
The ignition coil inside the distributor may fail. Our technicians tell us this may result in a hesitation on acceleration, especially when the vehicle is warming up on cold, rainy days. The pickup coils inside the distributor can also fail and cause a no-start condition. There have also been some failures of the radio noise suppressors inside the distributors, which can short out. Our technicians recommend replacing the whole distributor with a complete, genuine Toyota distributor if any of its components fail.
Hesitation or No Start Due to Internal Distributor Fault
The ignition coil inside the distributor may fail. Our technicians tell us this may result in a hesitation on acceleration, especially when the vehicle is warming up on cold, rainy days. The pickup coils inside the distributor can also fail and cause a no-start condition. There have also been some failures of the radio noise suppressors inside the distributors, which can short out. Our technicians recommend replacing the whole distributor with a complete, genuine Toyota distributor if any of its components fail.
AC Not Cold Due to Failed Compressor
Typically the AC compressor is worn out by about 150,000 miles in warm and/or humid climates. It is recommended to replace the complete compressor including a new clutch and rpm sensor, and to replace the receiver/dryer as well.
Service AC system at 150,000 miles or every two to three years
Usually by 150,000 miles the AC system will need some attention, especially in climates where it is used often. Our technicians tell us that it is best to service the AC system every 2-3 years. This keeps the moisture in the system at a minimum which extends the life of the components.
AC blowing Warm Air
The AC Expansion Valve may develop a very slow leak or allow too much refrigerant flow which reduces cooling. Our technicians tell us that Toyota makes an updated expansion valve to resolve these problems if and when they occur.
Improperly Adjusted Valves May Cause Emissions Failure/Rough Idle
A rough idle and even an emissions inspection failure for high HC and CO can be caused by improperly adjusted valves. Also, exhaust valves may become to tight which can lead to valve failures. Our technicians tell us that regular valve adjustment inspections are a must.
Replace Oxygen Sensor When Servicing EGR System
Over the time the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system may become plugged with debris, the oxygen sensor may also be getting slow or 'lazy' around this time. When servicing or cleaning the EGR system, it is a good idea to replace the oxygen sensor because it works in tandem with the EGR system.

How to reuse rootstock with failed graft
I did my first grafts this year and lost some. I had done saddle grafts on apples, pears, and peaches. I had some fails on all, especially peaches. These are all in 1.5 or 2 gal pots and the root stocks are growing from the buds below the grafts. the grafts are 4-5" above the soil. So what do I do from here with each type? chip/ bud graft in the fall?
Do you have anymore scionwoods left? If yes, then you can re-graft them now. If no, then just find some permanent spots and plant them out. In the fall, you can chip/bud graft or wait until next spring and re-graft them. One pointer, with stone fruits, just make sure you have a period of 6 or 7 days of of warm weather with temp in the 70"s degree for them to take. Like all grafts, aftercare is important to rub off all new grow below the union because you want all the saps to flow to the scionwoods. Good luck.
I have a question on the basic grafts I did. I did saddle graft, then wrapped with a ribber band. Is it possible to be too tight with the rubber band and cause a failure?
I know I did my grafts too early, but don't want to miss any other causes.
(I do have a few apple scions left to retry, but not the others)
Apple and pear are easy to take. You can use a simple cleft graft but to make sure at least one side is match but both side is better. I then use a strip of saran wrap and go around the union twice and then the black electrical tape go up and down a couple of times tightly. Just remember to rub off all the new shoots below the union every couple of days until no more new shoots.
I think it is possible to wrap too tightly with the rubber bands, choking the rootstock; I'm pretty sure I've done it.
I've been playing with a rootstock that sounds similar to yours. I bought an apricot on Marianna and the tree winterkilled, but numerous shoots came up from the root. I separated the best three and bud/chipped to them last summer. One of them is doing well now; the others failed but the shoots are still alive. I'll repeat the experiment in August.
Failing with peach is not uncommon! I've only ever had one apricot take, and I gather they're pretty much the same challenge. Pear is easiest, and cleft works well. Whip and tongue on pear is a great choice. Chips take easily. Apple is nearly as easy as pear, and plum the most doable of stone fruit, but still touchier than the pomes.
I think Tony's advice is very good.
Good luck,
You might look up "stooling rootstock" for more on the subject.

Never ever buy anything with the word "tactical" as part of the name or description.
I figure that it will be 50-100% higher in price.
I saw "tactical" M1911 magazines on sale for $30; I've bought very similar ones (same # of rounds) for about half that price.

"Can you focus—really focus—for 25 minutes?" queries author Staffan Nöteberg as the subtitle of his new book, Pomodoro Technique Illustrated from the Pragmatic Bookshelf. We all know the pressure of needing to be productive—the to-do list is a mile long and you find yourself getting interrupted every other minute. You'd like to tell everyone to leave you alone, but most of the interruptions are coming from you! You think of a phone call you need to make or a Web site you need to check, and before you know it, you're answering e-mail, checking Twitter and finding a million other things to occupy your time. Author Nöteberg says that the Pomodoro Technique can put you back in charge of your day. You'll apply successful techniques from software engineering to identify what you should be doing today and to help you achieve your goals. Your mind won't wander when it is fully engaged in short bursts of focused activity. You'll learn to work less and accomplish more using nothing more than paper, pencil and a simple kitchen timer. This book is filled with advice on how to get started and how to tailor the method to your own needs.

Educator Mobilization Leads to Momentum on School Funding Restoration
Starting with a radio advertising campaign and online petition drive in January, and continuing with the launch of DontShortchangeMaryland.com in early February, the Maryland State Education Association (MSEA) and its members have led a session-long campaign to protect the investment in Maryland schools and restore the education cuts proposed by Gov. Hogan.
Educators Urge Passage of House Budget Plan
The House Appropriations Committee's plan will restore over 90% of these cuts to our schools—ensuring continued progress for our students—while protecting retirement security for educators. We urge the General Assembly to reject Gov. Hogan's plan and support this better budget for Maryland.

I hope I'm posting this in the right place, please direct me elsewhere if I am not.
Pretty much looked everywhere and can't find anything that specifically addresses my case.
I Installed the ROM for the Kindle Fire HDX (and the guy(s) who figured that out are brilliant, thank you).
Everything appears to be working great EXCEPT for some menus under 'settings'.
Whenever I try to go to either 'Help', 'Notifications & Quiet Time'. 'Applications' or 'Parental Controls' the screen will crash out to the desktop.
I have a ton of stuff installed currently and would prefer not to reinstall if it can be avoided, but any suggestion would be appreciated.
Otherwise, it works like a champ.
Please help me, Obi Wan XDA.

Ubuntu: Where Did the Love Go? 778
from the why-can't-we-all-get-along dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Ubuntu's made some dumb choices recently in GUI layout and package selection. Not huge issues, but they are PITA issues and that's what's caused a lot of Ubuntu hate.
Well, the great thing about linux is that you can change stuff as much as you like. I've never liked any distro's default choices
Also over the years people have been getting increasingly pissed off at the fact that Ubuntu is a bleeding-edge distro and updates tend to break stuff. Because of these issues a lot of people have been switching to Debian.
The funny thing is that when I started using linux back in 1999, the big criticism of Debian was that it wasn't bleeding edge enough! I guess you can't win in the linux world
Personally, I've been using Ubuntu for the last few years. I used to use a really minimalist distro and compile everything myself, but I don't have the time or inclination to do that any more
But, you know, if people don't like Ubuntu they don't have to use it. There's a billion and one distros out there, catering for any whim or fancy in the world
Hackers are just a migratory lifeform with a tropism for computers.

Is it normal for fat to settle on top of a tummy tuck scar 13 years after the surgery?
Yes, that can happen over time. This can easily be fixed with liposuction in the office.

Yes, fat can appear over a tummy tuck scar. This commonly happens with C-Section patients as well. Liposuction may fix the excess fat.

Namco Bandai Beams Down 'Star Trek' Game on April 23
Paramount Pictures collaborated with Namco Bandai Games and Digital Extremes to deliver a prequel game before 'Star Trek Into Darkness' hits theaters in 2013.
After a long wait, Trekkers are in for a double feature Star Trek adventure in 2013. First up is an original video game from Paramount Pictures, Namco Bandai Games and developer Digital Extremes, Star Trek The Video Game, which launches April 23, 2013 for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 – three weeks before Star Trek Into Darkness hits the big screen on May 17, 2013.
The new game features the voices and likenesses of actors Chris Pine (Captain Kirk), Zachary Quinto (Dr. Spock), Zoe Saldana (Lieutenant Uhura), Simon Pegg (Scotty), Karl Urban (Dr. "Bones" McCoy), John Cho (Sulu) and Anton Yelchin (Chekov).
The game's original story was penned by BAFTA award winner and God of War writer Marianne Krawczyk in collaboration with Star Trek Into Darkness writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman.
VIDEO: 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Trailer: Cumberbatch's Wrath Revealed
The game will bridge the story lines between director J.J. Abrams' two Star Trek films and allow players to command the U.S.S. Enterprise on an original adventure that brings back the enemy race called the Gorn.
"The Gorn are among the most iconic villians in the Star Trek universe and their role in this game certainly lives up to that persona," said Brian Miller, Senior Vice President at Paramount Pictures and Lead Game Producer. "Kirk and Spock find themselves in an incredibly challenging amount of mayhem as they confront the Gorn throughout the game."
More than just lizard-skinned foes, the Gorn are a blood-thirsty race determined to conquer the galaxy. A true military dictatorship, the Gorn are made up of billions of self-sacrificing warriors across thousands of colonies, each focused on the conquest of alien races. By utilizing their chaos-causing infectious venom, the Gorn seed mayhem and destruction as they destroy populations and deplete planets of their resources.
"There are certain elements at the core of Star Trek – insurmountable odds, exploration, villains like the Gorn and heroes like Kirk and Spock," said Carlson Choi, vice president of marketing and Namco Bandai Games America Inc. "Our goal is to pull gamers as deep into the Star Trek universe as possible and an integral part of that is the talent that make these characters their own."
Throughout the development process, which got additional time when the sequel was pushed back to 2013, the game makers have worked closely with the Hollywood creatives to design an original story line that connects with the film universe.
"We've been working really closely with not only J.J. and his team at Bad Robot and all the people back at Paramount, but with all of the departments that are working on the films," said Miller. "Everyone from the sound design guys, the special effects guys and ILM, to the costume, and the creature designers. Michael Giacchino, who did the music for both films, scored the music for this game. That kind of authenticity is vital for the success of this game."
VIDEO: Benedict Cumberbatch Looms Over the 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Teaser Trailer
This is the first Star Trek game to feature cooperative gameplay, which will allow players to step into the roles of Kirk and Spock and experience different gameplay elements with each character.
"We really wanted to make a completely immersive co-op experience because Star Trek, at its core, is a co-op property," said Miller. "It's about Kirk and Spock. It's the Ying and the Yang, the cowboy versus the logical guy, and that really lends itself to what kind of co-op game we wanted to make through both the gameplay and the story line."
PC gamers will be able to experience the Star Trek game in stereo 3D through a partnership with NVIDIA and its 3D Vision technology.

I've been a Franklin Planner user for so long that I remember when every Planner came with these sheets, and a large part of me can't help wishing that were still the case. I could use the different tabs in each year's storage binder, since at least some aspects of my planner, such as the Financial section and my Goals, change from year to year, and I'd like to be able to store each year's information behind its own tab. Yet I hesitate to purchase a new Starter Pack every year, mostly because of the extremely wasteful Pouch Page Finder included in every single package of Starter Pages, and the equally pointless Weekly Compass cards. If these two items were not included in every Starter Pack, I would have given this a 5-star rating.

I purchased this expecting the pages to be in the 'blooms' theme. No go. The only thing that makes it different than the standard refill is that the tab front-pages are in lavender. The ink is dark blue. The pages are white. It's really no different than the classic FC starter pack. There isn't even a floral border as shown on the product image. *Very* disappointed.

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Classic Blooms Starter Pack:
I have been using Franklin organizers since 1992. It was introduced to me through my place of employment as the upper management used them. I found that with using the well-designed products of Franklin, I was able to keep track of things I needed to do as well as look back at the things I have accomplished. When Covey came into the picture, I found the consistance of positive thinking improved my life both phyically and emotionally. Keep up the great work. No batteries included.

By The Wife
from Salisbury, MD
My husband and I have demanding jobs and crazy schedules. We developed a color coded calendar system for all work related and personal happenings and events. We each have our own planner & sit down to "mesh" schedules weekly. Having the pockets to hold our colored pens and highlighters makes it easy to keep things organized and allows us a quick glance at what's coming up in the next week(s). I bought this to replace my original leather planner (circa 1992). I expect to get as many years out of my new "toy"!

Very helpful
By SueEllen
from Hemet, CA
This starter pack is a helpful guide to simplify and clarify one's goals and objectives, and to prioritize and integrate them into daily living; I find this particularly helpful as I tend to get lost in my lists. I find it easy to customize, to use the parts of the guide that work for my lifestyle.
Essential for using the planner
Excited about this format, which is new to me. I respect this company's expertise in the field of planning.

Build a lunar lander and win $1 million
By Paul Lester
September 1, 2009
The X-Prize foundation, who teamed up with Google in 2007 to create the USD$30 million Google Lunar X Prize competition, has recorded plenty of interest. Since Odyssey Moon's registration, a further ten parties moved swiftly to take up the gauntlet last year.
The ultimate challenge in this race to the moon would be to safely land a robot on the surface and travel 500m (approx. 550 yards) collecting data to send back to Earth. We've already seen an interesting concept from Astrobotic, who aims to visit Apollo 11 in 2011, 40 years after the craft landed.
The range of challenges now includes the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander competition and it has recently been announced that three teams have successfully registered to take part. An initial USD$2million prize fund has been trimmed somewhat following a successful entry by Armadillo Aerospace last year, who was awarded USD$350,000 for successfully completing the 'level 1' challenge of launching a rocket from a designated launch area, climbing to a fixed altitude and flying for 90 seconds before landing precisely and then attempting the maneuver in reverse.
A total of USD$1.5 million is still available at the more difficult 'level 2' stage, which requires a 180-second flight and precise landing on a simulated lunar surface comprising boulders and craters. This level is designed to closely mimic an actual descent from lunar orbit and is therefore of real interest to competing parties.
The three teams that have successfully registered, which include Masten Space Systems, Unreasonable Rocket and an effort from Armadillo Aerospace at the level 2 stage, will compete throughout October at locations of their choosing. Successful attempts will be ranked based on landing accuracy and prizes awarded accordingly, with a first and second prize of USD$1 million and USD$500,000 available respectively for successful attempts at level 2.Share

CPF Recognized for Advancing Research and Patient Advocacy Efforts
SAN DIEGO, May 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis (CPF) today announced awards received at the American Thoracic Society's (ATS) International conference in San Diego, Calif. being held this week. The ATS meeting brings together the world's leading pulmonary, critical care and sleep physicians. The CPF received an award for a partner grant program with ATS that, to date, has funded $400,000 in new pulmonary fibrosis research funding. The organization also received a first-time award for its participation in the ATS Public Advisory Roundtable (PAR). The CPF is exhibiting in booth #2921 on "PAR Row" at the International meeting.
The CPF has partnered with the ATS since 2006 to provide peer-reviewed grants for innovative research in PF. To date, the CPF/ATS partner grant program has awarded grants to PF researchers at
"We are pleased to receive some very prestigious awards from ATS, and we're proud to continue this exciting partnership with ATS," said Mishka Michon, CEO of the CPF.
The CPF received the ATS Foundation's inaugural "Breathing for Life Award" for its participation in the ATS PAR, the patient voice of the ATS. The ATS PAR has created unparalleled synergy with ATS members by involving patients in providing support, shaping public policy and stimulating new research.
Due to the CPF's involvement with ATS and combined efforts to further educate doctors and researchers on PF, the disease is gaining more attention and PF is the subject of an increasing number of high profile sessions at the international conference. Sessions on PF

We didn't get a chance to spend much time with Max as he was attending a function.
However it was a treat to spend some time with Sarah. She's warm, knowledgeable and caring.
We would love to see them again!
I was delighted to have Sarah & Max back. They were great guests, super easy and always lovely to bump into. I'd love to have them back again any time. Highly recommended :)
It was an absolute pleasure to share my home with Sarah & Max.
They were the ideal guests: easy, independent, friendly, tidy, great communicators. I'd have them back any time. In fact I hope I do have them back! Highly recommended.
I thoroughly enjoyed having Sarah and Max stay. They were clean, friendly and respectful. Recommended guests!

Your argument is ridiculous, Big. By your logic, if ANY person goes to work in a different country from where they were educated/trained, then their "home" country should somehow be compensated.
For example, I am an English teacher in Russia. However, I was educated in the USA. Therefore, you think the USA should somehow be compensated for the skills I use here? It's preposterous.

Also, your whole argument about the student loans is off-base. When a person borrows money from an entity (bank, government, whomever), they are expected to return said money. This has little or nothing to do with what country they're living in.
Professional skills are not currency. As someone already mentioned, how would you even value something like that monetarily?
Different countries have different societies. While in America you borrow from a bank, in some other countries you borrow from the government. I think you should have to pay back for services in either case. If you were educated in America in college I am sure you are paying or paid off your loans.
Now why don't you discuss something sensible. Like the system in football (soccer). The NHL team would need to pay the club the player was from for the rights to have them play in another league. I mean the club did train them so it is a fair exchange. And this would be a system where the play would be able to make a choice.
Should Russia be pissed because one of the great minds like yourself have left? They did supply the system and protection needed to allow you to be born. Are you wending the government some $$$$ to thank them?
I guess you should explain the system in Russia. Is it socialist? I thought they went away from that a while ago.
But by your logic Canada should be pissed also. Maybe Russia should be a cooler place to live. Then there hockey players would come back and start businesses and hockey clubs in Russia ....hence giving back to mother Russia.
According to a recent SI article, the sport that the Russian government (and Putin was specifically mentioned) is trying hardest to develop is Basketball and they are importing many coaches and their best players are foriegn. If I remember the article correcly, the strategy is working and the Russian league is now considered the best in Europe.
So Big, should the Russian government start spreading out its recently acquired oil revenue to the rest of the world every time a foriegner goes to Russia to play BBall?
I'm just confused why the Russian government would care that NHL players are leaving. The owners of the Russian clubs would care, but why is it a government or a Mafia issue? It's not like NHL players stop playing for the national team.

Receive Breaking News updates as they occur
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Negotiations over Iran's nuclear program are entering a critical phase with differences still remaining just two days before a deadline for the outline of an agreement.
A Jerusalem court found former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert guilty of corruption Monday over allegations that he received envelopes of cash from a US businessman, Israeli media reported. The former premier, who already faces a six-year prison sentence in a separate bribery case that he has appealed to the supreme court, will be sentenced on May 5, the reports said. The 69-year-old had initially been acquitted of fraud and corruption in the case, escaping with a $19,000 fine and a suspended jail sentence for breach of trust in 2012. The six-year prison sentence handed down against Olmert in May last year was the first ever against a former Israeli premier for corruption.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was found guilty Monday of accepting bribes in a retrial of corruption charges, the latest chapter in the downfall of a man who only years earlier hoped to lead the country to a historic peace agreement with the Palestinians.

Please remember that these are professional geeks we're talking about, and are therefore not exactly cutting edge when it comes to fashion. To all appearances it was closer to 1978 than 1984.

Thoughts on Open-Source Hardware
Posted by Jan on 26 April 2012
As open-source hardware (OSHW) has become more prominent over the past five years or so, I have heard questions about where I or Pololu stand on the subject. Most recently, I got into a bit of a discussion with Phillip Torrone of Make and Adafruit on one of his blog posts, and his questions and subsequent interview pushed me to try to organize some of my thoughts about OSHW. Because there are many aspects to OSHW, I don't have a simple conclusion like, "It's great!" or "It's the future!" or "Pololu will never release an OSHW product.". I am skeptical of some of the claims by OSHW proponents and of the significance of the more organized aspects of the OSHW movement. However, what is going on is very significant to me because it affects Pololu's business and involves issues I care about a lot, such as freedom, creating things, and education. Continued…
Three and a half months to plug in our machines legally
Posted by Jan on 29 March 2012
This post is an account of the difficulties I have had for the past four months in getting permits to run our equipment at our new location, which we moved to in December of 2011. I am writing this partly as notes for myself and others at Pololu, but the main point of sharing this is to warn and commiserate with other businesses having to deal with such problems and to give other readers some awareness of the real-world ramifications of the regulations much of the public seems all too eager to embrace. I still have a hard time believing we really had to go through all of the hassle and expense, so I am also hoping that some readers might point me to some resources so that I can avoid this in the future. I realize there is speculation and hearsay in my report, but I want to emphasize that my impressions are based on many vendors, contractors, public employees, and manufacturers: in all, I spoke to dozens of people about our experience. I will try to be as specific as practical without unnecessarily exposing individuals who were trying to be helpful to undue scrutiny. Continued…
November 2011 update: new building, new machines

Five months ago, I wrote that we "just finished a big facility expansion that was taking up a lot of my attention this year, so I have some more time now …" Well, that turned out to be wrong. It's also been over a year since I started this blog, and so far, I am way behind my target of an article per week. It doesn't help when I don't post for four months, but some exciting stuff has happened in that time. Continued…
Continuous-rotation servos and multi-turn servos
Posted by Jan on 26 July 2011
As I discussed in the introduction to servos, one of the consequences of hobby servos' intended use is that rotation range is limited to about 180 degrees. In this post, I will talk about two exceptions to this general rule: continuous-rotation servos and multi-turn servos. Each of these products loses some features in return for increased rotational range, so none of them are the ideal actuators many would like them to be. There are some specialty servos developed for robot applications that get around the limitations, but those servos are not as standardized and do not really fit into the hobby servo category, so I am not going into any more detail on those beyond mentioning that they exist. Continued…
How an idea becomes a product
Posted by Jan on 22 June 2011
The Wixel Shield for Arduino that we released today represents a personal milestone because of what I did not do on it: the shield is the first electronic product made by Pololu that I did not design. That's not to say I did not have some input on it or that other engineers here did not have substantial contributions to other products, but the Wixel Shield is a first because the basic product concept, the circuit design, and physical implementation (i.e. the PCB layout) were all done by someone else. We also just finished a big facility expansion that was taking up a lot of my attention this year, so I have some more time now to think about our design process and what it takes to go from a new idea to a finished product. Continued…
RC servo speed control
Posted by Jan on 6 May 2011
It is often desirable to control the speed and acceleration of hobby RC servos. Understanding your options can be confusing since there are various speeds involved, many similar terms are used, and the terms are not used consistently by different companies or end users. You might also have an idea of what you want your servo to do without knowing what to call it or how to describe it or how to implement it. To get a good understanding of what is going on, it is helpful to picture the position of your servo in relation to the commands you are sending it. A simple first attempt might look like this: Continued…
Advanced hobby servo control using only a timer and interrupts
Posted by Jan on 5 May 2011
In this last article about generating pulses for hobby servo control, I will present what I think is the best solution to controlling many servos or controlling some servos while still leaving enough processing time to do other tasks. It's not that easy to make this approach work well, so my recommendation in most cases is just to get one of our servo controllers, which use this technique. Continued…
Advanced hobby servo control pulse generation using hardware PWM
Posted by Jan on 28 April 2011
So far, I have discussed a very simple circuit and a very simple microcontroller approach to generate the control pulses needed to control hobby servos. For some applications, those methods are sufficient, but we often want either to control many servos or to do something in addition to controlling servos, and that is when the limitations of the simple approaches and the demands of the servo interface become more apparent. In this post, I will move on to some more sophisticated techniques to generate servo control pulses. Continued…
Simple microcontroller approach to controlling a servo
Posted by Jan on 10 March 2011
Today, I want to discuss the microcontroller equivalent of the simple servo control circuit I presented last time. As I mentioned then, the circuit is about as simple as it can be, yet it requires eight components to arrive at a sub-optimal servo control waveform. Some of its deficiencies, such as the slow rise time of the pulses, can be addressed by slightly more advanced circuits that might implement an astable multivibrator using an integrated circuit such as the famous 555 timer. In terms of part count, the 555-based servo controller might be a bit better than the two-transistor approach, but the 555 has many transistors inside it. As long as we are comfortable categorizing a component with many transistors inside it as a single part, we might as well skip the 555 and go straight to a low pin-count microcontroller, which has thousands of transistors inside it and which will allow us to make a far superior, single-component servo controller. Continued…
Simple hardware approach to controlling a servo
Posted by Jan on 23 February 2011
For the last several posts, I have been writing about how hobby servos work and demonstrating the operation of devices made for controlling servos, such as RC receivers and serial servo controllers. That should have given you a good idea of the kinds of control signals we must create if we are to control servos with our own hardware. Today, I am moving on to the subject of controlling servos ourselves, and I will begin with a simple hardware approach. Continued…

The downtown streets of a southern Florida town were transformed this past weekend into a temporary outdoor art museum when hundreds of artists created original works using only sticks of chalk.
A crowd of more than 2,000 people converged for the18th Annual Street Painting Festival in Lake Worth, Fla., despite the threat of rain, according to local news reports.
Amateur and professional painters sprawled across the asphalt "painting" dragons, elephants, cars, musicians, and inspired replicas of Da Vincis and Rembrandts, reports said.
The festival's coordinator, Maryanne Webber told the Sun Sentinel, "Street painting is a type of performance art. The painting is not about the finished work. It's about the process of creating the piece.
"That's the charm and appeal and beauty of the event. The artists don't compete with each other. They work, literally, on an equal plane, and they all participate for the love of street painting."
Street painting is traced back to 16th century Italy, when itinerant artists would use chalk to transform cobblestone streets into makeshift canvases, according to the event's website.
Pavement murals have been the subject of numerous news reports in Durability + Design. See: Street 'Compass' Mural Marks Geographic Heart of Boulder, Colo.; A Whale of a Street Mural in Seattle; and Storm-Drain Murals Deliver Pollution Lesson.

Report: Arizona credit card balances drop
It seems like Arizonans are getting a better hold on their credit card debt.
According to Phoenix Business Journal, the average Arizona credit card balance was $1,400 lower in 2012 than 2011.
Arizona residents had an average credit card balance of $5,390 last month, which was an increase of $80 from November. However, it was 26 percent lower than the $6,811 balance Arizonans carried in December 2011.
Arizona has the 23rd-lowest credit card balance in the nation. Mississippi has the lowest, with an average balance of $4,225.
