London artist Benjamin Garrett—better know as Fryars—takes on "Heavy Feet," the second track off of LA quartet Local Natives' sophomore album. Recorded with The National's Aaron Dessner and released last month, the band's Hummingbird LP featured standout tracks like "Heavy Feet," "Black Spot" and "You & I," which all ring with somber moans and eerie beats. Fryars maintains the original's almost painful beauty, trading its anxious percussion for echoes alongside what seem like glassy wind chimes. Stream it below and check out the original music video. Apparently thinking far ahead, Local Natives have announced a UK tour this coming fall.

Today, Sarah from Licorice and Olives is on the blog! She's is a newlywed with a knack for baking and today she's sharing a delicious brownie recipe! Don't you love Sarah's blog name, btw? I remember when this blog was called Olive Weddings! Looks like we both have a thing for green! Oh and also, Sarah just got a How Joyful makeover... Isn't her new logo adorable? I'm loving it! Welcome, Sarah!
Hi, Im Sarah from Licorice and Olives and I am so excited to be blogging at Sincerely Sara!
Yes, thats right, world famous! My friends live in London and they love them, so im going with world famous... and yep, that would be my recipe that I am shamelessly self-promoting.
These are oh so chocolatey and so much gooey goodness. I cant hardly contain myself. Now, I have been keeping this recipe relatively under wraps, until now. I am straight up quite sick of making them. Im bored of this recipe and I want to branch out and make new exciting recipes, like those in my new ZUMBO cookbook*.
Check out that goodness....
So, how to make these bad boys?
- 2 eggs (they are better if they have smiley faces on them)
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 125g butter
- 200g dark chocolate (I recommend Old Gold for those readers in Australia)
- 150g milk chocolate (Dairy Milk)
- 100g white chocolate (Dream)
(Promise I don't get paid by Cadbury, although with the amount of chocolate I use in these brownies, maybe I should be?)
1. Melt together the butter and dark chocolate over a double boiler.
2. Mix together the sugar and flour
3. Roughly chop the white and milk chocolate (to about the size of half a square).
4. Mix the dark chocolate mixture with the flour mixture with a spoon, then add in the eggs and make sure you mix it all in well so you dont get a mouthful of flour in a brownie.
5. Add in the delicately chopped chocolate, mix around then pour into a baking dish (20x15cm approx)
6. Bake for about 20 minutes at 160C (320F?)
7. Enjoy, quickly, because they won't last long....
Do you have any favorite brownie recipes?
What are your go-to ingredients?

The Toronto Erotic Arts and Crafts Fair is tomorrow (well, technically today since it's already 2AM. Oh geez!) and I finally have all my creative crap packed and ready to go. It's been a very hectic week, but I am quite content with what I've prepared for my first crafts fair. My friends and family have also been very supportive this past month, giving me great suggestions and helping me press pins in exchange for pizza. Thanks guys!
Anyway, here is the final preview of what is available at my show tomorrow:
Watercolour and ink on watercolour paper. Framed. $150.
Watercolour and ink on watercolour paper. Framed. $150.
I've got three framed watercolour pieces available for purchase tomorrow. Here are two of the paintings that I think would fit nicely together as a set…. because you can never have enough pierced penises and vaginas on this blog!
I will also be debuting two new gocco prints tomorrow.
gocco print on card stock. Limited to 25. Unframed. $20.
"Suck It" was inspired by my drawing of the final pose of this week's Keyhole Sessions. I almost didn't go because of the giant workload I had on my plate preparing for this show, but I couldn't miss an extended session that included sexy porn star Dylan Ryan. I'm glad I went otherwise I wouldn't have come up with my favourite Keyhole drawing to date.
See you guys at the Erotic Arts and Crafts Fair, noon-8PM at the Gladstone Hotel!

Delaware may be a small state, but it's apparently big on privacy for students.
Late Saturday night, at the end of the legislative session, the state Senate voted unanimously to ban public and private schools from requiring students to give even a peek behind their personal social media curtain. The bill, HB 309, earlier passed the House without dissent.

Serving: One chocolate doughnut 380 calories, 25 g fat (11 g sat. fat), 410 mg sodium, 36 g carbs, 17 g sugar
If a doughnut is your idea of breakfast, take a look at the carbohydrates and sugar here: This is a treat, not a healthy way to start your day. "Too much sugar on an empty stomach can cause stomach upset and a quick drop in energy after the initial sugar surge," says Krieger. "This leads to cravings or increased hunger." Another problem? Refined carbs are low in fiber, which means they don't make you feel full. So treat doughnuts as what they are—dessert—and indulge sparingly.

Welcome to Le Jardin de Yorkshire, a garden that celebrates the landscapes of our glorious county, and Yorkshire's successful bid to host the 2014 Grand Départ of the Tour de France. The Tour visits vast swathes of rural France every year, paying homage to its wild and varied rural landscapes. Our garden will replicate those iconic moments by putting Yorkshire's rolling landscapes at the heart of Le Tour.
The garden evokes the rolling hills, meadows, dry-stone walls and agricultural drinking troughs of the Yorkshire Dales, through which the Tour will pass.
Wavy hedges evoke the interlocking hills of a typical Dale, where a meadow is grazed by sheep. A peloton of bikes, represented by series of cycle wheels, flashes through the wild, effusive planting evocative of Yorkshire's rural landscapes, framed by the backdrop of rolling hills. The garden will be evocative of the wild textures of the Yorkshire Dales, with planting including a range of wildflower and grass species as well as the UK's rarest orchid, the Lady's Slipper, which will be a star of our garden.
View on a tablet »
The Tour will pass through many of Yorkshires fine cities, market towns and villages many of which are commemorated in our Drinking Trough water feature, celebrating the route of Yorkshire's Grand Départ.
2013 sees the 100th running of Le Tour and the centenary of the Chelsea Flower Show. The garden will celebrate these historic milestones.
Our garden designer for our 2013 RHS Chelsea Flower Show garden is Alistair Baldwin. Alistair has a passion for the landscape, borne out of a childhood played out in Rome, Seville, Bilbao, Damascus and Beirut. Now based in rural North Yorkshire, Alistair leads a team of talented designers, running a portfolio of exciting projects across the UK, from the Devon coast to the wilds of Fife. His work is rooted in his appreciation of the spirit of the place and, using dramatic landscape photography, the creation of innovative solutions which are rooted in the historic, spatial, climatic, ecological and cultural layers which define each site he transforms.

A sample of your blood will be drawn and tested to assess the different elements in your blood (described in detail later). The results of this test will show how well your vital organs are functioning, and how well the treatment is killing your cancer. A CBC will reveal such blood conditions as neutropenia, anemia, or thrombocytopenia. All of these conditions can be treated.
Five MeasurementsRed Blood Cells (RBC) – Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, and carry oxygen throughout your body. These cells also remove waste products from your tissues. RBCs are measured in millions per cubic millimeter (mil/mm3) of blood.
White Blood Cells (WBC) – White blood cells are an important part of your immune system. There are many types of white blood cells, such as neutrophils. WBCs are measured in thousands per cubic milliliter (K/mm3) of blood.
Platelets (PLT) – Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are very small fragments of cells about one-tenth the size of a red blood cell. Their main function is to form a clot to prevent prolonged bleeding. PLTs are measured in thousands per cubic millimeter (K/mm3) of blood.
Hemoglobin (HGB) – Hemoglobin carries oxygen and gives red blood cells their color. When you inhale, hemoglobin carries oxygen from your lungs to your tissues, and when you exhale, hemoglobin passes carbon dioxide out of your body. HGB is measured in grams per deciliter (g/dL) of blood.
Hematocrit (HCT) – Hematocrit measures the percentage of red blood cells in relation to your total blood volume.
Normal Ranges for These Measurements:
RBC: 3.58-4.99 mil/mm3
WBC: 3.4-9.6 K/mm3
PLT: 162-380 K/mm3
HGB: 11.1-15.0 g/dL

Ullman moved into another uncomfortable area that lasted for roughly ten minutes where they sparred over the questions and answers: whether on June 14, 2013 [when he gave his restructuring proposal the creditors; did he have the ability to impose a reduction in pensions if the retirees did not agree to it.
Ullman: "What was your authority under [Public Act] 436? [the emergency manager law]."
Orr: "436 did not give the authority."
Judge Stephen Rhodes watched the lengthy exchange and weighed in "It's an extremely tough question." Part of the reason for that is that Orr explained it is a technical legal question and since he is not acting as an attorney he has not looked up nor does he know how this tricky legal issue will play out or might play out in court.
Ultimately Ullman took Orr back to a deposition he gave earlier in the case and statements made to the Detroit Free Press where Orr's position becomes clear: Orr believes PA 436 and the state constitution can be trumped by federal law.
Ullman move on to even thornier issues: "Can you identify any case law indicated that an emergency manager could take a municipality into Chapter 9. Orr said " There is no case law."
Ullman: "did you try to use Chapter 9 to trump the constitution>?
Orr: "I did not want to use it… at some point I felt federal law would trump state law."
This line of questioning went on for some time, Orr later being asked about the levels of pension underfunding and where he came up with his numbers. He said he relies on his staff of consultants including Milliman actuarial that gave him the numbers.
As the morning questioning ended Judge Stephen Rhodes had a pointed question of his own but not to Kevyn Orr, he asked attorney Ullman, "is it your position that the city cannot negotiate pension benefits based on the constitution?"
Ullman hesitates momentarily and then nodded and said yes, that is his team's opinion.
Kevyn Orr finished his testimony for the day but it is a long way away from completion. He will be coming back tomorrow to continue his testimony. He gave way to Governor Rick Snyder who will take the stand at 1 p.m.
The governor is expected to be testifying for the rest of the afternoon. There is a sizable protest brewing outside the federal courthouse now.
1 PM -- Recess
Gov. Snyder takes the stand. He is sworn in.
He was wearing a dark suit, a white shirt and red and white striped tie.
Flowers attorney William Wortheimer is asking the judge for permission to leading questions. The city's attorneys did not object. Motion granted.
Snyder questioning begins. Wortheimer asks when the governor was elected. He got the answer wrong saying January 1, 2013. Wortheimer asked when he took office and he corrected himself saying he was elected in November 2011 and took office in January 2012. Wortheimer asked if the governor understood the oath of office he took to uphold the governor. He said he did. Especially the part about the pension clause in the constitution and he said yes. Wortheimer asked of the governor had discussed the governor's position regarding whether the state should not take on Detroit's debt. Snyder said he did not.
Judge: Did you ever tell Mr. Orr your position as to whether the state has any obligation to take on any of Detroit's Debt? He invoked attorney client privilege.
It was a legal question for the courts to decide. If I had an opinion it would be a legal question that would have to be dealt with anyway.
Wortheimer had asked many of these questions in the governor's deposition where he invoked attorney client privilege and he spent a lot of time trying to establish whether the governor is changing his mind on that. He isn't so he moved on.
Wortheimer: "How important is Detroit's financial situation"
Snyder: "This has been a large issue for 60 years."
Wortheimer want to know who Ken Buckfire was working with the City, who paid him. Snyder said he was one of a group of people who offered unsolicited advice. Wortheimer asked if he advised the state or the city.
Snyder said, "I perceived it as them trying to get hired for an engagement ... I am not going to speculate by whom."
Wortheimer: "Weren't you the one calling the shots on the city's restructuring."
Snyder: I didn't really had anything to do with it, the city ended up hiring Jones Day."
Wortheimer: Wants to know about the meetings the governor has had with Ken Buckfire and Jones Day: "They met with you to talk about ways to deal with the city of Detroit yes?" Snyder: "Yes"
Do you recall jones Day or Buckfire people talking to you about the constitutional protection of pensions? Snyder answered I don't recall."
Wortheimer: Did you interview Mr. Orr? Snyder: Yes.
Wortheimer: How many other interviews did you do?
Snyder: At least one.
Wortheimer: During the interview process with Mr. Or ... did you discuss vested pension benefits could be cut in a Chapter 9 proceeding?
Snyder: "I don't recall."

Network of Emotions
November 13, 2010 at 23:47
I must admit that I have read far too many articles on interactivity in recent weeks. But this has given me a couple of thoughts I would like to share. I dealt with interactivity in one of my recent posts in relation to a course I am taking in university, but I am now going to tackle the other side of the coin: the less 'academically correct' personal side. If we consider interactivity a property of technology that attempts to mimic and support – in the long run – as closely as possible interpersonal relationships, then this can have a serious impact on how we communicate and keep in touch in general. We have only recently been introduced to such a world, but it will be our children who will grow up in this new 'network of emotions', where we share private details of our lives with not only friends, but also strangers and have that impact on their perceptions of us.

Clarksville, TN – The economic data were mixed. New home sales were much weaker than expected in June, with a sharp downward revision to May (March and April figures were also revised lower) – however, these figures are reported with an enormous level of uncertainty.
Existing home sales improved, with a further increase in the number of homes for sale. Durable goods orders rose moderately, but details showed a lackluster trend in shipments of nondefense capital goods. The Consumer Price Index rose 0.3% (+2.1% y/y), inflated partly by the seasonal adjustment for gasoline (which rose 0.3% before adjustment and +3.3% after adjustment). Ex-food & energy, the CPI edged up 0.1% (+2.0% y/y).

Clarksville, TN – The retail sales and industrial production reports had similar stories – gains in June were disappointing relative to expectations, but figures for April and May were revised higher. These data (which are subject to revision) are consistent with a sharp rebound in economic activity in 2Q14 (following weather–related weakness in 1Q14), but also suggest some loss of momentum heading towards 3Q14.
The Producer Price Index and import price reports showed no appreciable pipeline pressures for inflation.
Clarksville, TN – Next week, the economic calendar picks back up. Retail sales are likely to be the highlight, boosted by stronger vehicle sales in June. Ex-autos, sales results for April and May were disappointing – so we'll be on the lookout for a rebound (or possibly some revision to the previous figures).
Industrial production data and residential construction figures have some potential to move the markets – they should point to stronger growth in 2Q14.
Clarksville, TN – The June Employment Report was stronger than expected. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 288,000 (median forecast: +215,000), with widespread gains across sectors (April and May were revised a net 29,000 higher).
The unemployment fell to 6.1% (from 6.3%), although the employment/population ratio edged up only slightly (to 59.0%, vs. 58.9% in May and 58.7% a year ago – still suggesting plenty of slack in the labor market). Average hourly earnings rose 0.2% in June, up 2.0% y/y (the CPI rose 2.1% over the 12 months ending in May).
Clarksville, TN – While the markets managed solid gains over the last three months, investors continue to measure their enthusiasm as the U.S. economy maintains a less-than-robust growth trend heading into the second half of the year.
After a hesitant start to 2014, the markets gained momentum as the winter doldrums gave way to slow spring growth. But ever-present concerns over the Fed's imminent move to wind down its quantitative easing program and eventually raise rates again have kept stock market euphoria at bay.
Clarksville, TN – GDP growth was revised to a -2.9% annual rate in the third estimate for 1Q14 (vs. -1.0% in the 2nd estimate and +0.1% in the advance estimate).
Prior estimates showed that a slower rate of inventory accumulation and a wider trade deficit subtracted considerably from overall growth – the third estimate showed a somewhat larger subtraction of 3.2 percentage points from the headline GDP growth figure (Domestic Final Sales, GDP less net exports and the change in inventories, rose at a 0.3% annual rate).
Clarksville, TN – As expected, the Federal Open Market Committee left short-term interest rates unchanged, reaffirmed its forward guidance on the federal funds target rate, and trimmed another $10 billion from the monthly pace of asset purchases (to $35 billion starting in July). In the Summary of Economic Projections, Fed officials lowered their projections for 2014 GDP growth.
However, that was due entirely to the reported decline in 1Q14 GDP. Implicitly, Fed officials are expecting a 3.1% to 3.4% average pace of GDP growth in the final three quarters of 2014. The forecasts ranges for GDP growth in 2015 and 2016 were the same as the ones made in March.
Clarksville, TN – Developments in Iraq sent oil prices higher and undermined stock market sentiment. Note that oil price shocks are viewed as a restrain on economic growth rather than a catalyst for a higher underlying trend in inflation (as opposed to the 1970s, when they quickly fed through to wage inflation).
Iraq is one more concern to be added to the list of worries for the second half of the year. The stock market often climbs "a wall of worry," but sometimes the wall wins.
Clarksville, TN – The economic data were mixed. The ISM surveys were consistent with improving activity. The trade deficit was much wider than expected in April, suggesting that next exports will restrain 2Q14 GDP growth to some extent.
The May Employment Report was "boring," with nonfarm payroll up by 217,000 (vs. a median forecast of +215,000) and a net revision of -6,000 to March and April. The unemployment rate held steady at 6.3%. The trend in job growth has been relatively strong, but not so much that the Fed is going to take the punchbowl away anytime soon.
Clarksville, TN – The economic data were mixed. The estimate of real GDP growth for the first quarter was revised down to a -1.0% annual rate (vs. +0.1% in the advance estimate). Most of the revision was due to a slower pace of inventory growth, which ought to pave the way for increased production in 2Q14.
Slower inventory growth subtracted 1.6 percentage points from overall GDP growth (vs. -0.6 ppt in the advance estimate), while a wider trade deficit subtracted 1.0 percentage point (vs. -0.8 ppt in the advance estimate.

People often ask me about monitor speakers. For years I used Yamaha NS10Ms and a very powerful Crown Amp. I also had a pair of large Alesis Monitor Two's. My own opinion is you need a really powerful Amp to drive any speaker. That's what you pay for and that's what makes a speaker sound good. I've been slowly saving a bundle of cash to build a all new studio here in NYC and it's definitely time to make the NS10Ms secondary helpers. So money no object what would I get? Adam S3X's! I've heard them a few places and in each room they were majorly tight, bassy, bright and beautiful. They have a pair hooked up at Guitar Center on 14th St. Would I spend almost $7,000 on speakers? I purchased my NS10Ms in 1995 from Sam Ash Pro. That's 15 years of use and they are still going. 15 Years divided by 7k = $39 a month. Who need a new car anyway? In the end I don't know if I will bite but it's always nice to have a Lamborghini to dream about.
"With 800-plus watts of onboard amplification, the system is capable of SPLs exceeding 126 dB, offering plenty of headroom, which adds to the SX3-H's superb transient response. Despite all that punch, any amp noise was almost undetectable and the SX3-Hs provided long sessions without listening fatigue. And besides simply sounding right, mixes made on the SX3-Hs translated effortlessly to other systems." – Mix
Here's a few links to dream on: S3X at Mercenary, Gearslutz thread, and a Mix review.

It seems to be the fashion these days, particularly among young girls, to pierce various parts of the body (including the unmentionable bits) and then sticking metal rings or studs into them. This fad not only looks weird – it can, in some cases, be life threatening – as the following medical report illustrates.
A teenager in Italy complained of stabbing pains in her face. She said they felt like electrical shocks that lasted 10 to 30 seconds and struck 20 to 30 times a day. Her doctors diagnosed trigeminal neuralgia, a nerve disorder sometimes called "suicide disease" because of the excruciating pain it causes.
Doctors tried painkillers, then stronger medication, but in the end, a cure proved more simple: The young woman removed the metal stud from her pierced tongue. Two days later her pain vanished.
This account in the Journal of the American Medical Association is the latest documentation of complications, some life-threatening, linked to tongue piercing. Other problems include tetanus, heart infections, brain abscess, chipped teeth and receding gums. One woman developed so much scar tissue that it resembled what she called a "second tongue".
In the newly reported case, the young Italian woman's mouth jewelry apparently irritated a nerve running along the jaw under her tongue. That nerve is connected to the trigeminal nerve, one of the largest in the head. "There are people who have been dropped to their knees" by trigeminal neuralgia, said a registered nurse and director of patient support for the Trigeminal Neuralgia Association. "That's how intense and how horrendous the pain can be. The teenager is lucky her pain disappeared."
"Certainly, this was an isolated case, an extremely rare complication of this kind of piercing," said Marcelo Galarza, a neurosurgeon at Villa Maria Cecilia Hospital in Ravenna, Italy, who reported the case to the journal. However, he added that the tongue is a dangerous place to pierce because it is rich in blood vessels that can spread infection to major organs and because it is near important nerves and the upper airway.
An owner of a tattooing studio in Indiana, said she has not heard of a similar case in her 21 years in business. She, however, recommended that people interested in tongue piercing see only professional, experienced piercers and use only "implant grade" metal jewelry.
So, girls, why take the risk? It looks pretty gross anyway. I know some say it enhances the pleasure of kissing but, trust me, if you allow a boy to get that close, he's not going to care one way or the other. It's not worth the risk.

(This article was written by Santa Monica Patch editor Kurt Orzeck and updated by Boston Patch editors at 10:15 a.m.)
Top law enforcement officials from Massachusetts are scheduled to discuss the capture of James "Whitey" Bulger this morning at US Attorney Carmen Ortiz's office in the Moakley Courthouse in Boston.
Bulger, the alleged mob boss and Top Ten Fugitive who has been on the run for 16 years, was arrested Wednesday in Santa Monica, California. His longtime companion, Catherine Greig, was also arrested.
Bulger had been wanted for at least 19 murders that occurred in the 1970s and '80s in connection "with his leadership of an organized crime group that allegedly controlled extortion, drug deals, and other illegal activities in the Boston [area]," according to the FBI.
Bulger, 81, and Greig, 60, are scheduled to make an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday. The FBI and U.S. Attorney are planning to provide more information about the arrests in Boston on Thursday.
The FBI arrested Bulger at 10:13 p.m., a confirmed to Santa Monica Patch. The arrest occurred at the Princess Eugenia, a residential complex that houses one- and two-bedroom apartments. It is located at 1012 Third St., just south of Washington Blvd.
As of 1:24 a.m., FBI agents were still investigating inside the apartment complex, and several police officers were stationed outside it. Agents were searching the trunk of a car that was located in the Princess Eugenia's garage, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Bulger Said To Be In Ailing Health
Santa Monica Patch spoke with multiple area residents, all of whom were unaware of Bulger's background.
Bulger and Greig were arrested without incident, according to the FBI. Previously, the FBI had said that Bulger was considered to be armed and dangerous. "He has a violent temper and is known to carry a knife at all times," the FBI said.
Bulger is reportedly in ailing health, according to the Boston Globe. "I don't think he's in a position to be fighting anybody,'' a law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity told the Globe.
Latest FBI Campaign May Have Paid Off
The FBI had recently renewed its efforts to locate Bulger, launching a publicity campaign in 14 cities, according to multiple reports.
"Recent publicity produced a tip which led agents to Santa Monica where they located both Bulger and Greig at a residence early this evening," the FBI said in a statement.
According to The Associated Press, the FBI had been conducting a surveillance operation near the location where Bulger was arrested.
Bulger "maintains his physical fitness by walking on beaches and in parks" with Greig, according to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitive list. The Princess Eugenia is less than a mile from and roughly a half-mile from .
The FBI had been offering up to $2 million for information leading to his arrest.
Bulger, who had previously been an FBI informant, vanished after an ex-FBI agent told him authorities were ready to indict him, according to The Associated Press. He had last been seen in 2002 in London, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Bulger was the inspiration for Jack Nicholson's character in the Martin Scorcese thriller The Departed, and the subject of multiple books.

You are cordially invited to witness the most terrifying wedding event…..
Sandy is preparing for her wedding when she learns what happened to her friend Helen. A short time after Helen's father dies, Helen proceeds with her wedding. She did not believe in the curse of the "sukob" – that misfortune would follow you if your wedding falls on the same year that a family member died or one of your siblings got married. Soon after the wedding, Helen and her loved ones meet accidents. Their bodies have never been recovered.
Sandy proceeds with her own wedding. During the ceremony, she starts seeing glimpses of a ghostly flower girl. She learns that she is cursed by the "sukob", just like Helen. But no one in her family just died and her sibling has been maried years ago. In search of an end to the curse, Sandy discovers a dark family secret and she might not be able to give what the "sukob" is asking her to sacrifice.

A diode is an electronic component which allows the current to flow through it in one direction but not the other side.
A diode can be used as a rectifier which converts AC voltage to DC voltage in power supply applications. A diode can also be used to filter out radio frequency signals in reciever applications.
The photo above shows different kinds of diodes. You can see that it has different packages. The common packages are DO-35, D0-41, TO-220. Diodes has many applications, a high-speed rectifier diode is used mainly in SMPS ( Switched Mode Power Supplies ), they usually have a higher current output rating and high-speed switching capabilities. A signal diode can be used to recieve radio frequency signals like AM (amplitude modulation) signals. These are commonly used in AM radio receivers.
The schematic symbol for a semiconductor diode is shown below.
A stands for ANODE
K stands for CATHODE
Rectifier diodes are commonly used in power supply circuit applications. They are used to convert AC voltage into DC voltage.
The CATHODE end of the diode is usually marked with a stripe band. Rectifier diodes are made to handle high currents, however, it is not advisable to use the diodes maximum rating. A 70% - 80% rating is advisable to avoid any component breakdown. Heat is one common factor in a component breakdown. When a component exceeds its maximum temperature capabilities, it could be damaged permanently.
The operating principle of a rectifier diode converting AC voltage to DC voltage is shown on the animation below.
Signal Switching diodes are generally used for signal detection (i.e. AM signal detection, FM signal detection). In some circuits these diodes are also used as fuses for small amount of currents.
An example of an AM detector diode is the 1N60. The 1N60 is a Germanium Signal Diode housed in a DO-41 glass. Another example of an AM detector is a CDG00 AM detector diode. The availability of these diodes are very rare this days. If you ever find an electronics supply that sells it, it would be a good idea to buy the most you can for your future projects.
The 1N4148 Signal diode is also similar to an also famous 1N914 Signal diode. The availability of these diodes could differe from country to country. There is no big deal when you misuse a 1N4148 from a 1N914, they both perform the same functions.
This type of diode is ideally suited for low voltage, high frequency rectification, or as a free wheeling and polarity protection diode.
This diode employs the Schottky Barrier principle with barrier metal that produces optimal forward voltage drop-reverse current tradeoff.
These diodes looks similar to the standard rectifier diode, so CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN when you are inserting these diodes, ALWAYS READ the part number written on the face of the component to be sure that the part you are inserting is the real one.
The Schottky Diode is best used for high frequency rectification commonly used in Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS).
LEDs are so popular in electronics. They are used in many applications from toys, flashlights, computer peripherals, digital cameras, cellphones, etc.
My first electronic circuit was to light an LED and sadly It was destroyed because of high voltage. That was before, but now I know how these little things work and I'm enjoying every thing about it.
The figure on the left(top) is the schematic diagram representation on an LED.
LEDs comes in various colors the photo on the left(bottom) shows three different colors of leds. The clear LED can be thought of as a white LED, infact it's just casing. The clear LED can have other variations of color like bright red, blue, bright green.
The clear/transparent LEDs gives a much brighter intensity of light that it emits.
The color that an LED emits depends on the gas used inside it.

Fixed effects meta-analysis can be thought of as least squares analysis of the radial plot, the plot of standardized treatment effect against precision (reciprocal of the standard deviation) for the studies in a systematic review. For example, the least squares slope through the origin estimates the treatment effect, and a widely used test for publication bias is equivalent to testing the significance of the regression intercept. However, the usual theory assumes that the within-study variances are known, whereas in practice they are estimated. This leads to extra variability in the points of the radial plot which can lead to a marked distortion in inferences that are derived from these regression calculations. This is illustrated by a clinical trials example from the Cochrane database. We derive approximations to the sampling properties of the radial plot and suggest bias corrections to some of the commonly used methods of meta-analysis. A simulation study suggests that these bias corrections are effective in controlling levels of significance of tests and coverage of confidence intervals.

Highlights from Tuesday's open meeting of the Carroll County Board of Commissioners:
PIA Redaction Policy
Resident Judy Smith told commissioners she was concerned about their decision to redact certain information from Public Information Act (PIA) requests.
"I think the public is entitled to know what is happening between commissioners, staff and citizens," Smith said.
In the Dec. 13 commissioners meeting, the board unanimously voted to redact email addresses from PIA requests, citing security concerns.
During the Dec. 13 discussion by commissioners and County Attorney Tim Burke, Burke said that personal information such as phone numbers and addresses, and he expected email addresses, were protected under the PIA. However, Burke added that he currently redacts some information from PIA requests.
"I take out addresses and phone numbers. I haven't been challenged on that yet," Burke said in a video of the meeting.
In Tuesday's open session, Frazier told Smith that perhaps she misunderstood the extent of the new policy.
"The only thing we are redacting is the email address," Frazier said. "We think everybody should know the content and person of the conversations but the email address might be sensitive information."
Commissioner Richard Rothschild added that there are security issues involved with sharing citizen's personal email addresses. He likened an email address to a key to personal information.
"People's email addresses are the equivalent to keys to a safe deposit box," Rothschild said. "An email address is like one of the keys to electronic accounts like credit information, insurance information, health information. Giving out email addresses could potentially expose citizens to tampering with their identity."
He added that a citizen had tried to access email addresses from the state of Maryland under the PIA and was advised by deputy legal counsel for Gov. Martin O'Malley that the state did not belive that releasing email addresses was in the public interest because it would have "a chilling effect on communications."
"We agree with the decision of that deputy legal counsel so we mirrored the policy already being implemented by Gov. O'Malley by redacting these email addresses," Rothschild said.
Board of Commissioners President Doug Howard noted that the board also agreed to seek the opinion of the attorney general on its policy to redact email addresses from PIA requests. He said the board is in the process of seeking that opinion.
Spanish FEMA Signs Removed
During the public comment period, resident Bonnie Grady accused Rothschild of showing prejudice by working with his campaign manager in the spring to have two billboards removed because they were written in Spanish.
Rothschild said he believes it is inappropriate for the government to put up billboards written in Spanish when Spanish isn't the language spoken by many of the citizens.
"As an elected official representing my citizens in District 4, I thought that it was inappropriate for the government to be putting up billboards written entirely in Spanish," Rothschild said. "I asked Mr. Holstein to look into it to see what was behind that and get those billboards changed. And he did."
The signs were public service announcements posted by FEMA. Grady said that it was irresponsible to remove messages informing people how to prepare for emergency situations such as hurricanes.
"Acting on direct orders from you it was removed because you did not want it in Spanish," Grady said. "Everyone along the way knew it was because you resented it being in Spanish."
Commissioner Howard added that the decision was made due to demographics. According to the Census, 2.6 percent of Carroll County's population in 2010 was of Latin or Hispanic origin.
Rothschild reaffirmed his position.
"When we have something very important being published by FEMA, I maintain my position that it is totally inappropriate to have two billboards in our distrcit written 100 percent in Spanish," Rothschild said. "Had they been bilingual it wouldn't have been an issue but it is a grave injustice to our citizens to put these billboards up in a language which they don't understand and can't interpret."
Also of note in Tuesday's meeting:
The commissioners approved the purchase of 10 911 workstations for the new Carroll County Emergency Communications Center. The county received a total of 10 bids of which Eaton/Wright Line was the lowest in the amount of $105,778.10. The workstations will be paid for by a grant from the Maryland State Emergency Number Systems Board (ENSB), which will cover 100 percent of the purchase, delivery and installation of the furnishings. No county money is required.

The Latest:
U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann will tour the crucial Republican primary states of New Hampshire and South Carolina after rolling out her presidential campaign in Iowa next week, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The L.A. Times also notes that her planned announcement in her hometown of Waterloo, Iowa, on Monday will mark the entry of the first woman into the 2012 presidential race. She also plans to hold a party in Iowa on Sunday night that will be open to the public.
For those keeping track, a new national Zogby poll now puts the 6th District congresswoman at the top of the 2012 Republican field. Meanwhile, a statewide poll finds her gaining favorability among Minnesotans but still trailing other presidential candidates.
If you're tired of seeing praise heaped upon Bachmann, today might be your lucky day.
Rolling Stone has published a lengthy profile piece on Bachmann, and be forewarned: it's not flattering. To give you a taste, here's how author Matt Taibbi describes the congresswoman in a nutshell: "Bachmann is a religious zealot whose brain is a raging electrical storm of divine visions and paranoid delusions." And the city of Stillwater: "a Midwestern version of a Currier & Ives set piece, complete with cozy homes, antique stores—and no black people." A number of locals are also quoted in the piece.
Readers who prefer less satirical fare might read Meghan Daum's latest column in the L.A. Times, which actually offers a quite similar take on Bachmann, but with far less invective. Daum predicts that Bachmann will be the candidate of choice for Christian conservatives, and finds her to be a more serious politician than her would-be competitor, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
If you're thirsty for even more Bachmann criticism, The Guardian serves up a column from one of their U.S. correspondants blasting her "anti-gay agenda" and accusing her of "naked prejudice."
Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin is much kinder to Bachmann, but says the candidate needs to reinforce her newfound credibility by crafting a serious policy agenda and proving that she can appeal to more than just the Republican base. Rubin predicts that Bachmann might have the clearest path to the Republican nomination, despite her perceived underdog status.

Just as readers have been transfixed by the stories, characters, and deeper meanings of Lewis's timeless tales in The Chronicles of Narnia, most find this same allure in his classic Space Trilogy. In these fantasy stories for adults, we encounter, once again, magical creatures, a world of wonders, epic battles, and revelations of transcendent truths.
Out of the Silent Planet is the first novel in C. S. Lewis's classic science fiction trilogy. It tells the adventure of Dr. Ransom, a Cambridge academic, who is abducted and taken on a spaceship to the red planet of Malacandra, which he knows as Mars. His captors are plotting to plunder the planet's treasures and plan to offer Ransom as a sacrifice to the creatures who live there. Ransom discovers he has come from the "silent planet"—Earth—whose tragic story is known throughout the universe!less

Staff Writer
---- — There are far too many moments, memories and milestones to count on just one hand from this past sports year. From state titles to Super Bowl victories and everything in between, 2012 has been one of the more entertaining and exciting years the North Shore sports world has seen.
With all the accomplishments this year and the accolades that go along with them, here's a look at the top 10 stories that captured our attention in 2012:
DANVERS BOYS WIN FIRST STATE BASKETBALL TITLE: The Falcons finished with the best record (21-4) in program history and capped it off with a 59-41 win over St. Joseph Central of Pittsfield for the Division 3 state title in March.
Down by double digits with approximately two minutes left in its North semifinal contest against Wayland, Danvers pulled off a miraculous come-from-behind, overtime victory to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Falcons received contributions from up and down the bench throughout the tournament, but it was senior George Merry's 23-point performance against Wayland that caught people's attention. The 6-foot-8 Merry became one of the main focal points on the team, averaging 18.2 points and more than 10 boards in the five postseason games.
BOXFORD'S CHRIS KREIDER TURNS PRO WITH NEW YORK RANGERS:Chris Kreider went straight from winning an NCAA championship at Boston College to the NHL playoffs with the New York Rangers.
At BC, he led the team in scoring with 23 goals and 45 points in 44 games, before joining the Rangers in the playoffs that same season. In April, Kreider signed a three-year, entry-level contract with New York.
As a rookie with the Rangers, Kreider's first two NHL goals were game-winners, never having scored in the regular season.The 21-year-old made history again as he ended the 2012 playoffs with five goals, an NHL record for most playoff goals without having played a regular season game.
MARBLEHEAD'S KAYLA HARRISON AND SHALANE FLANAGAN COMPETE IN SUMMER OLYMPICS: Kayla Harrison became the first American to win an Olympic gold medal in judo at the London Olympics in August. She took the women's 78-kilogram title after defeating Britain's Gemma Gibbons in the final.
The 22-year-old Harrison is originally from Ohio, but currently lives in Marblehead and trains in Wakefield under two-time Olympic bronze medalist Jimmy Pedro.
Marblehead native Shalane Flanagan finished 10th in the Olympic marathon in London. Flanagan ran her second-best marathon time in 2:25:51 and even led the pack for the first three miles of the race. Flanagan, who was participating in her third Olympics but first competing in the marathon, was the top American finisher.
PEABODY GIRLS SOCCER RANKED NO. 1 NATIONALLY:In early October, the Tanners weren't just ranked No. 1 in the state, they had transcended into national status as the top team in the country, voted by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
Even with star forward Hayley Dowd sidelined with injury, Peabody managed a 10-0 record by the beginning of October, outscoring its opponents 46-2. The Tanners held off strong Northeastern Conference opponents in Beverly and Revere as they won 38 straight games from 2011-12, before losing only to Acton-Boxborough once in the regular season and in the Division 1 North tournament.
The Tanners were even awarded the No. 1 seed in the Division 1 tournament for their 17-1 regular season record, but another bout with A-B in the first round cost them a shot at another state title.
PEABODY FOOTBALL COACH SCOTT WLASUK STEPS DOWN: Peabody's Scott Wlasuk resigned in early October in the middle of his fifth season as head coach. The Tanners were coming off a 49-0 loss to Beverly and fell to 0-5.
Offensive assistant Matt O'Brien took over the position on an interim basis. O'Brien, a 1992 Peabody High grad, had been on Wlasuk's staff for several years. The Tanners finished the season winless (0-10) for the first time since 1958.
Wlasuk was named head coach prior to the 2008 season and took over a program that had gone 2-19 in 2006-07. He won four games his first season and finished with a 17-31 record in 4.5 seasons.
BEVERLY GIRLS SOCCER WINS FIRST NORTH TITLE: No one could've predicted the type of success the Panthers would have in the Division 1 tournament, not even head coach Kristin Simpson. After taking down powerhouses like Concord-Carlisle and Westford Academy, Beverly defeated Central Catholic in penalty kicks for the Division 1 North title.
Beverly scored on all four of its penalty kick attempts to beat Central Catholic, 2-1. The Panthers (18-4) were down 1-0, but overcame the deficit to win the program's first North title crown.
A fairly young squad, the Panthers were led by junior striker Caitlin Harty, who became Beverly's all-time scoring leader with 90 goals and 119 total points. Harty's scoring surge through the regular season got the Panthers into the tournament, but it was keeper Casey Cook who posted two postseason shutouts to keep them there.
BEVERLY FOOTBALL RECORDS UNDEFEATED SEASON AND WINS SECOND SUPER BOWL IN THREE YEARS: Perhaps this 2012 Beverly football season will go down as one of the best in program history.The Panthers finished a perfect 13-0 and capped it off with the best prize of all — the Division 2A Super Bowl championship.
It was Beverly's second Super Bowl title in three years, having won in 2010, as well. The Panthers took down a strong Burlington team in the playoffs to advance the Super Bowl at Foxborough's Gillette Stadium. Head coach Dan Bauer went with what got Beverly there in the first place, an efficient running game.
Senior captain Brendan Flaherty totaled 175 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries, junior Isaiah White added 87 yards on 11 carries, while captain Kenny Pierce finished with 71 yards as the Panthers offense totaled nearly 350 yards for 28-21 victory over Natick in early December.
ST. JOHN'S PREP WINS DIV. 1 SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP:It was only fitting that head coach Jim O'Leary got his 200th career win in the same season that his team won a Super Bowl title. The Eagles cemented their spot in program history, going 11-1 this season, with their only loss coming against Everett.
It had been 15 years since their last Super Bowl triumph, but the Eagles dominated in all three phases of their 48-28 victory over Brockton for the Division 1 Super Bowl crown. The night belonged to Prep, as they scored twice in the first two minutes and 51 seconds. The Eagles offense accounted for four touchdowns, the defense had one and special teams added two more.
After the loss to Everett in late September, the Prep went on a nine-game win streak, including the playoffs. The Eagles dominated league play, with wins over Xaverian, BC High and Malden Catholic during the regular season.
PEABODY GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY WIN STATE TITLE, ROCHA 2ND AT NATIONALS: Peabody High's Catarina Rocha capped off a magnificent senior season, as she helped the Tanners to their first team title since 1978 in November. Rocha finished first overall with a time of 18:06.12 and took the individual championship, while teammates Heather MacLean and Lauren Barrett added top-20 finishes, as Peabody was first with 108 points.
Rocha also earned her second straight All-America honor at Foot Locker's Cross Country Championships earlier this month. The Providence College-bound Rocha finished second in the national finals with a time of 17:29. Rocha earned the bid to nationals after winning the Foot Locker Cross Country Northeast Regional Championship.
O'NEILL, COSTA, JANE HEIL HIT 500 WINS:Salem State men's hockey coach Bill O'Neill earned his 500th career win in an 8-2 victory over Framingham State last February. His son Andrew, who graduated from SSU in 2007, is now one of the program's assistant coaches. O'Neill, now in his 32nd year as head coach, started in 1981, when he was just 25 years old. O'Neill is just the third hockey coach in program history.
The best part of Manny Costa's milestone was that his sons were there to share in the memory. Costa has been coaching the St. John's Prep wrestling team for the past 23 seasons and has racked up an impressive 502-129-5* record. The Eagles (15-1*) swept the Christmas Eve quad meet, which gave Costa his 500th career win.
Peabody's Jane Heil has led the girls basketball program since the late 1970s. Heil has coached the Tanners to 17 Greater Boston League titles, 26 tournament appearances and one very significant state title in 1985. Peabody's 48-25 win over Everett on Thursday night earned Heil her 500th win, which only added to her already accomplished career.

Dual Degree: Master of Public Policy & Administration and Master of Public Health
The MPPA/MPH program equips students with the skills needed to conduct effective health policy analysis; understand organizational processes within the health sector; develop policy-based approaches to address issues of public health importance; and translate complex public health policies for a lay audience.
Students enrolled in dual degree programs may begin their studies in either program. It is best to complete a full year in one program before beginning the second program. In the second year students will fulfill the core requirements of the other program. During the third year of study students fulfill the remaining requirements of both programs.
In addition to the course requirements, CPPA requires students to complete a full-time 10-week internship with a public policy or management focus and MPH students are required to complete a practicum experience. With the approval of both programs, dual degree students are able to complete their internship and practicum experiences simultaneously.
