Cubs put squeeze on Brewers in taut opener
CHICAGO -- Brewers manager Ron Roenicke was just saying the other day that dugout decisions really figure in only a handful of games all year. It's the players, he said, and not the managers, who decide the outcome on the vast majority of nights.Count Monday's game among the exceptions -- a pitcher's duel-turned-managerial chess match that ended as a 1-0 loss to the Cubs at Wrigley Field. There was the potentially sniffed-out squeeze bunt in the fifth inning that cost the Brewers a run, then a second-guesser's delight of an eighth that produced the Cubs' only run and provided a thought-provoking start to a four-game series between Interstate 94 rivals. "It's very easy to second-guess when things don't go right," Roenicke said. Before the second-guessing, here's the big picture: Coming off a three-game sweep of the Cardinals, the Brewers enjoyed sole possession of first place in the National League Central for only one day. The loss, only the Brewers' third loss in their last 11 games, dropped the team into a tie with idle St. Louis at 38-29. The Cubs won on Aramis Ramirez's fielder's-choice grounder up the middle in the bottom of the eighth inning. Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks fielded it and fired a throw home, but not before Darwin Barney reached with a headfirst slide. Barney was at third after his single against Brewers reliever Kameron Loe (2-6) and Carlos Pena's pinch-hit double off the ivy-covered wall in left field. Pena's wind-affected drive just eluded Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun, who tried a leaping catch but missed. "Because of the wind and the way it played, I think it pushed it over to the side more," Roenicke said. "... It was hit. The wind is the only reason it didn't go out of the ballpark." Loe lost for the sixth time but has allowed only a run in nine of his 36 appearances. Cubs reliever Jeff Samardzija (4-2) won after working a scoreless eighth inning and Carlos Marmol logged his 13th save. The decision to use Loe for a third consecutive day will help Brewers fans fill the time before Game 2 of the four-game series on Tuesday night. So will the decision to stick with Loe when the Cubs replaced right-handed right fielder Jeff Baker with left-handed-hitting pinch-hitter Pena. Roenicke conceded that it was a bad matchup, the sinkerballer Loe against the low-ball-hitting Pena. But the Brewers' only left-handed reliever, Zach Braddock, was not warming, and the Brewers stuck with Loe. "He's our eighth-inning guy," Roenicke said, "and in tie ballgames, he goes the eighth and Ax [closer John Axford] will follow. "I have other options, with [Marco] Estrada, with Hawk [LaTroy Hawkins], and probably with [Tim] Dillard now, but we felt good with Kameron." Barney was mad at himself for not scoring on Pena's drive to left, but made up for it with a quick read of Ramirez's go-ahead grounder. He scored with a creative slide. "I'm going hard and you've got your sights on the catcher and you're looking for a hole and there wasn't a really big hole there," Barney said. "I had to go over his leg and under his hand and try to slip your hand in there. That's all you're thinking. You're bearing down and staring at your spot and trying to find one. Luckily, I got in there." It only took one run to decide what had been a pitchers' duel for the first seven innings. Randy Wolf allowed six hits but did not walk a batter and struck out seven in his seven-inning gem to continue a positive trend. Milwaukee's starting pitchers are 19-5 with a 3.31 ERA in the team's last 35 games, including 24 quality starts. Too bad he matched up against Cubs right-hander and career Brewers-killer Ryan Dempster, who entered the night with a 5.96 ERA that seemed irrelevant given his career-long success against Milwaukee. Including Monday's no-decision, he is 15-3 with a 2.50 ERA against the Brewers in 23 starts and 22 more relief appearances. "Some guys have teams' numbers, and he always seems to put it together when he goes against us," Brewers right fielder Corey Hart said. "It's kind of rough because we threw the ball so well." The Brewers' best chance to break through against Dempster came in the fifth inning, when Yuniesky Betancourt hit a shoulder-high pitch for a leadoff double and advanced on Wil Nieves' tapper in front of the plate. When Dempster fell behind Wolf, 3-and-1, Roenicke ordered a suicide squeeze for the second time this season. It had worked on May 28, when Jonathan Lucroy's perfect bunt scored Braun in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the Giants. "It's a count where I know [Dempster] is going to try to throw a strike, because he doesn't want to face Rickie and then [Mark] Kotsay with a runner on third," Roenicke said. "At 3-0, he threw one right down the middle, and we figured he'd throw another one there." Only Dempster did not. He threw a fastball off the plate instead, and Wolf waved at it. Betancourt was caught in a rundown, eventually retired 2-5-1-6-4-2 in the scorebook. The missed opportunity stung when Wolf hit the very next pitch for a double. He was stranded when Weeks smashed an inning-ending groundout to first base. "I think Dempster saw the squeeze and threw the ball way off the plate," Wolf said. "I tried to reach for it, but I couldn't even foul it off." "You're taking a little bit of a chance there," Roenicke said, "but I felt good with Randy. He's a very good athlete. I felt good that he'd get a piece of the ball." Wolf had better luck on the mound. "He pitched great," Roenicke said. "That's definitely one of his better outings."

Dillard's to Sell Credit Card Unit to G.E.
Published: August 9, 2004
Dillard's Inc., the department store chain, said yesterday that it had agreed to sell its Dillard's National Bank assets to GE Consumer Finance for about $1.25 billion.
Dillard's becomes the latest retailer to sell a credit card subsidiary, with Sears, Roebuck and Circuit City Stores having completed similar transactions in the last year.
Dillard's, which is based in Little Rock, Ark., said it expected to use the proceeds from the deal with GE Consumer Finance, a General Electric Company unit, to reduce outstanding debt, repurchase its common stock and for other corporate purposes.
Dillard's said it expected the transaction to add to its earnings per share in the 2005 fiscal year. It said its roughly 500 financial-unit workers would become employees of GE Consumer Finance after completion of the deal, which is expected before the end of the year.
The agreement calls for the assumption by the G.E. unit of $400 million in liabilities, the purchase of accounts receivable and an undisclosed premium, Dillard's said in a statement.
The deal includes a 10-year arrangement, with GE Consumer Finance providing marketing and customer service support for Dillard's 5.5 million active retail cardholders, the G.E. unit said.
Dillard's shares closed on Friday at $21.48, down 49 cents, on the New York Stock Exchange. The share price is up 30 percent this year.

I've been legally blind since I was 5.
I played center field growing up and I would have to listen for the ping of the bat, and watch the 2nd baseman to see where he was looking, and hope to get a jump on the pop flys and catch them
I was a very good ball player that hit for average and couldn't see the ball most of the time.
I was lighting fast and stole quiet a few bases after I would walk.
Later I was moved to 2nd base and even though I wore glasses and later contacts I still struggled to see the ball, both at the plate and in the field
I guess I just had a 'feel' for the game, cause I was still pretty good

'Intelligent T-shirt' could remotely monitor patients' vital signs
By Ben Coxworth
September 21, 2011
More and more we're hearing about clothing made from smart fabrics being used in the field of medicine, to monitor patients wearing such garments. One of the latest examples is the "intelligent T-shirt," designed by scientists at Spain's Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M). It can remotely monitor a person's temperature, heart rate, activity level, position and location.
The prototype shirt is washable and incorporates electrodes that detect bioelectric power, such as that created by the beating of the heart - an electrocardiogram can be obtained using these electrodes.
It also features a removable device that includes a thermometer and accelerometer. These are used to measure the patient's body temperature, along with their position (such as whether they're reclining or standing, for instance) and their level of physical activity.
Another device, which the researchers plan on building into the shirt, receives signals from a network of transmitters located throughout the hospital. It proceeds to wirelessly send information about those signals to a central information management system, which applies an algorithm to establish the wearer's location within the building. It has a two-meter (6.6-foot) margin of error.
Down the road, the UC3M team believe that the shirt could be used not only within hospitals, but also to remotely monitor patients in their homes. Alarms built into the T-shirt could notify doctors or other hospital personnel when the patient's heart rate exceeds a given limit, or when their body temperature drops significantly below the normal 37C (98.6F).
Similar projects have included Philips' patient-monitoring bras, briefs and waist belts, and BIOTEX's clothing that analyzes bodily fluids.Share

Patrick Cockburn's new book looks at the legacy of recent wars, as well as at how convoluted ongoing conflicts in the Middle East truly are.
Having spent an estimated $1 trillion and having sacrificed the lives of 2,150 soldiers, the US finds itself increasingly consigned to observer status in Afghanistan.
SpeakOut is Truthout's treasure chest for bloggy, quirky, personally reflective, or especially activism-focused pieces. SpeakOut articles represent the perspectives of their authors, and not those of Truthout.
Chief Justice John Roberts deceptively altered an earlier Supreme Court decision, misapplied another, and erroneously described the Tenth Amendment in writing the majority opinion that ruled the key section of the Voting Rights Act unconstitutional. What he did generally has gone unnoticed in the subsequent articles that have been published about the decision. This article provides a detailed analysis of what he did, and why that makes his decision legally and constitutionally wrong. However, the Court did not take away another provision that gives the Act some significant enforcement power.
In ruling the key provision of the Voting Rights Act unconstitutional, Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the 5-4 Supreme Court majority in Shelby County v Holder 579 US, also attempted to reanimate right wing ideas that courts long ago extinguished. In so doing he employed a line of reasoning that was deceptive and erroneous. Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, in a lengthy and biting dissent, described his approach as an exercise of "hubris," potentially "capable of much mischief."
By now the world knows the name of the young woman who was the last person to speak to Trayvon Martin: Rachel Jeantel. Rachel has been thrown head on into the public eye in a way that NONE of us would ever want for ourselves. Imagine what it must be like: a high school student talking on the phone to one of your friends like you would normally do...then all of a sudden your friend is dead and your world is turned into a legal whirlwind! Watching her tell the story of the last time she spoke to her friend Trayvon was painful. Watching defense attorney Don West questioning her, often times it was easy to forget that Zimmerman is the one who is on trial and not Ms. Jeantel. Rachel was judged very harshly by the public as people generally have a way of being overly critical, judgmental and just plain mean. Judging Rachel as if she should have been born ready to testify in court and to play any part in this legal system who is in no way on her side. What I saw was a young woman who knew the defense team was against her and out to discredit her, she knew that Don West had a particular impatience and dislike for her. Many people highlighted her behavior and her dislike and impatience for Don West but that feeling was definitely not one sided. She knew it, she felt it and she wasn't afraid to show it to the world with her famous response—"that's real retarded, sir". She was standing up for herself and I was proud of her for doing so.
The government's knowledge of the lives of individuals is little more than the equivalent to a children's coloring book compared to the library that private companies have on everyone.
Doubt that? Just open your mail any day; chances are good you'll have more junk mail—the corporations prefer to call it "direct mail"—than anything else. Check your email; if you're not being spammed hourly, you are probably one of the few people in the U.S. who is living in an underground bomb shelter with no access to the outside world.
And don't complain. You caused this.
Last week in the Trayvon Martin trial one of the more explosive moments came when Rachel Jeantel uttered the words "Creepy Ass Cracka" (translation...Cracker) in her account of Trayvon's description of his soon-to-be murderer. When Rachel recounted this epithet, the courtroom went dead silent while the social media channels exploded with chatter. Pundits, both on and offline, grabbed a hold of this moment and rode it until the proverbial wheels fell off, most failing to see the significance of this statement and even fewer exploring the historical accuracy of Trayvon's haunting description.
It would be a mistake for those of us who are engaged in social justice movements to allow the argument to be merely reduced to nigger vs. cracker. Indeed, Don Lemon of CNN did a brief informal poll where he asked both Blacks and Whites on the streets of New York about which term was more offensive. Not surprisingly, all who were asked which term they felt was more offensive universally responded that it was the "n-word."
Over one hundred professional economists have signed on to a petition in support of H.R. 1346, the "Catching Up to 1968 Act of 2013." The act, sponsored by Congressman Alan Grayson of Florida, would raise the federal minimum wage from its current level of $7.25 to $10.50 per hour, the approximate level it would have been if the 1968 minimum wage had kept up with inflation. The act also indexes the minimum wage to inflation, ensuring that the real value of the minimum wage would no longer deplete in the way that it has over the past decades.
The petition, signed by economists from dozens of universities and research institutes, explains how a minimum wage employee working full time at the current rate earns $15,080 a year -- 19 percent below the poverty line for a family of three. Raising the minimum wage to $10.50 would "deliver much needed living standard improvements to 45 million U.S. workers and their families."
A historic civil rights case can move ahead after Wayne County Third Circuit Court Judge Marvin R. Stempien ruled June 27 the children of Highland Park have a statutory and constitutional right to a basic education. He ruled further that the state and Emergency Manager are not immune from lawsuits when a child's constitutional right to a basic education is at stake.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan filed suit July 2012 on behalf of eight students in the Highland Park School District. According to the ACLU complaint, the HP school district ranks among the lowest performing school districts in the state.
The ACLU suit sought immediate implementation of the state law which mandates special remedial assistance shall be provided every regular student who does not show proficiency on the 4th and 7thgrade reading portion of the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP). The law says the special assistance should bring the student up to grade level within 12 months. Inability to read means inability to learn the subject matter in other classes as well, the ACLU argued.
It is time to fight. Educators in higher education and K-12 must mobilize. Before they can do this however, they must understand the situation. Education is under attack, this is no secret. The general public and educators themselves are bombarded with information about how K-12 education and higher education is in a time of crisis [1]. But there is no crisis. The "crisis" has been manufactured in an effort to discredit public education and restructure it as a market good [2]. This is the "shock doctrine" of capitalism [3]. Capitalism is an economic system based on greed and accumulation [4]. In order to perpetuate itself, capitalism and the capitalists must find newer and more destructive methods to make a profit [5]. Crisis, whether real or manufactured offers a great opportunity to accomplish this task. Natural disasters, armed conflict and tragedies are exploited and then milked for their ability to bring in profits. Klein argues the second Iraq war of 2003 is a perfect example of the shock doctrine of capitalism [6].
In the Public Interest (ITPI), a comprehensive resource center on outsourcing and responsible contracting, today released the Taxpayer Empowerment Agenda, a locally focused plan to reclaim taxpayer control of privatized public services and infrastructure that have undercut transparency, accountability, shared prosperity and competition.
The Taxpayer Empowerment Agenda, which includes proposals aimed at preventing these giveaways and restoring local control to taxpayers, can be found at www.inthepublicinterest.org.
"The Taxpayer Empowerment Agenda will help put taxpayers fully in control of our public services and infrastructure. State and local lawmakers who champion these proposals will stand on the side of taxpayers, and plain common sense," said Donald Cohen, Chair of ITPI.
In proposing a toast to a group of dignitaries, Stephen Decatur, a United States naval officer who led raids against the Barbary Coast corsairs in North Africa, said, "Our country! In her intercourse with foreign nations, may she be always in the right…" He then declared: "…but our country, right or wrong." Almost 150 years later, the U.S. Third Army found out just how intoxicating ultra-nationalism can be when it liberated the concentration camp at Buchenwald. Over the main entrance to the camp, a place where medical experiments were done on inmates and worked and tortured to death, the Nazis had written: "My Country, Right or Wrong."
The thirteen English colonies, which gained independence and formed a loose confederation of states, lost their freedoms to unrestrained nationalism. Even though the Declaration of Independence and Articles of Confederation promoted self-determination and autonomy, the U.S. Constitution crushed such free-thinking and regional-political-economic independence. Instead of one branch of Government with limited powers, a Legislative consisting of elected representatives, the U.S. Constitution imposed three branches: a Legislative, Executive and Judicial. It would only be a matter of time before an activist Executive and Judiciary would usurp the increased powers of the Legislature.
On the last Sunday of May, I was on the campus of Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. I stood in the back of a crowd of a few thousand, one composed largely of graduating seniors, and family and friends there to support them. We were all listening to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) deliver the commencement address. As a member of the faculty, I could have been up on the stage positioned in a seat behind the senator, but, as I typically do for the event, instead opted to stand in the back—not least because I don't like sitting under a hot sun in a heavy robe.
Gillibrand's speech included reflections on her entry into what she called grassroots politics—Hillary Clinton's multi-million-dollar U.S. senate campaign in 2000—as well as platitudinous exhortations that the graduates challenge themselves and assertions that no goals are too big to achieve. While toward the end, she spoke briefly of the need to fight poverty in the United States and raise the country's minimum wage, and voiced strong support for women's and LGBT rights, there was little in the speech to which one could object—at least in the context of the politically liberal ethos that prevails at Vassar.

Nowitzki reaches milestone in Mavericks victory
Dirk Nowitzki reached another milestone Monday night and the Dallas Mavericks used a second-half blitz to bury the Houston Rockets, 111-104, at the Toyota Center.
Nowitzki scored a game-high 31 points and moved past Alex English and into 13th place on the NBA's all-time scoring list. Most importantly, Nowitzki scored 18 of his points in the second half when the Mavs rallied and snapped a two-game losing skid in what guard Monta Ellis called a must-win situation.
"Another great milestone," Nowitzki said, in reference to moving by English. "He was an unbelievable scorer in this league in the 80's in Denver.
"I wouldn't have thought that 15, 16 years ago when I came here that I was going to be passing him one day. It's a fun little accomplishment, but I think the win is more important to me tonight."
It was a win the Mavs (16-12) sorely needed after they blew a 19-point lead and lost at home in overtime to Toronto last Friday, and followed that up 24 hours later by suffering a 15-point loss in Phoenix.
"I thought the third quarter was key," said Nowitzki, who made 11 of 18 shots. "We came out at halftime really on the same page, got some stops, made it a little harder on Dwight [Howard], tried to keep [Jeremy] Lin out of the paint, tried to stay home on their three-point shooters a little better."
"That defense in the third quarter was a wonderful thing."
The Mavs trailed 57-50 at the half, but surged after intermission when they opened the third quarter on a 15-1 run. Nowitzki scored seven of those 15 points as Dallas moved ahead 65-58 less than four minutes into the second half.
By the time Jae Crowder and Vince Carter each made 3-pointers, the Mavs were on the end of a 29-11 run and leading 79-68 late in the third period.
"We had a disappointing first half and at halftime we just talked about hanging in," coach Rick Carlisle said. "We were very fortunate to be down seven and we felt like with defense in front of us in the second half we can help the guys a little bit if we just hung in we could give ourselves a shot.
"And then we started getting some shots and the ball was going in the basket and we got some momentum. A lot of guys stepped up."
One of the players who stepped up was Samuel Dalembert, who finished with eight points, seven rebounds and three steals in 29 minutes.
Brandan Wright also got his turn trying to defend Howard, who finished with 29 points and 15 rebounds.
Meanwhile, Ellis scored 18 points and acknowledged that the Mavs held the Rockets to just 7-of-19 shooting from 3-point range.
"That was one of our main things is keeping them from making a lot of 3s," Ellis said. "Dwight had the ball a lot down there, so we mixed it up so he really didn't know what we were going to do for the kickouts [to the 3-point line].
"I think we just played, overall, great team defense."
With the help of Nowitzki, the Mavs built their lead to 99-84. But the Rockets (18-11) eventually crawled to within 103-97 with more than three minutes left.
However, Nowitzki made back-to-back jumpers and the Rockets went quietly into the night.
"It was a must-win for us," Ellis said. "We had to get back on track to feeling good again after two devastating losses."

Mock the Week
Russell Howard's Good News
Russell Joseph Howard[1] (born 23 March 1980[2]) is an English comedian and presenter best known for his TV show Russell Howard's Good News and his appearances on the topical panel TV show Mock The Week. He won "Best Compère" at the 2006 Chortle Awards and was nominated for an if.comedy award for his 2006 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show.
Howard was born to Dave and Ninette Howard and has two younger siblings, twins Kerry and Daniel.[3] Daniel has epilepsy; a fact which Howard often references during his act.
Howard attended Bedford Modern School[4] and Alton College in Hampshire. He then went on to study economics at the University of the West of England in Bristol.[5]
Howard lives with his girlfriend Cerys, who's a medical doctor, in Leamington Spa.[6][7]
Howard supports Liverpool Football Club and has said that he is "deadly serious" about football.[8] "I still go down the pub and play football with my mates", he commented in 2010.[8]
In April 2010, Howard ran the London Marathon for the first time with both his brother and sister, to raise money for Epilepsy Society. He completed the 26-mile course in 4 hours and 15 minutes, beating his target time of 5 hours. Sponsorship has raised over £7,000 to date.[9]
For Sport Relief 2010 he took part in the BT Sport Relief Million Pound Bike Ride with David Walliams, Jimmy Carr, Fearne Cotton, Miranda Hart, Patrick Kielty and Davina McCall. They cycled from John O'Groats in Scotland to Land's End in 4 days trying to raise £1 million.[10]
In terms of political views, Howard appeared at Friends of the Earth's LIVEstock comedy and music event at the Hammersmith Apollo in support of the green campaign group's Food Chain Campaign for planet-friendly farming, on 12 November 2009.
Russell was voted Heat Magazine's "Weird Crush of the Year 2013",[11] with his friend and former flatmate Jon Richardson coming second.
In 2004 he was commissioned by BBC Radio 1 to write, sing and perform on the comedy series The Milk Run. Howard has also appeared on the shows Banter (hosted by Andrew Collins) and Political Animal for BBC Radio 4.[12]
Until 2010, Howard was a regular panellist on Mock the Week. He has also appeared on 8 Out of 10 Cats, Would I Lie To You?, Live at the Apollo, The Secret Policeman's Ball 2008, Law of the Playground and Never Mind the Buzzcocks (Series 18, Episode 2 and Series 20, Episode 4).[13]
He was one of several comedians picked as the best comedy talent from the 2005 Edinburgh Festival Fringe that recorded 10–15-minute spots for the 'Edinburgh and Beyond' show which was aired on Paramount Comedy 1 in the autumn of 2006.[14] The show was filmed at The Bloomsbury Theatre. From 2009, he took over as compère of this show from Al Murray.[15]
From November 2006 to July 2008, Russell co-hosted The Russell Howard Show[16] on BBC 6 Music with fellow comedian Jon Richardson in a Sunday morning slot previously hosted by Russell Brand. The show continued to air, without Howard, until March 2010. He has since explained that his main reason for leaving the show was that he finds radio "really restrictive" and "I gorge off the audience as a performer, but you can't gauge a reaction on the radio."[17][18]
Russell was commissioned to make a comedy show called Russell Howard's Good News, aimed at under-25s, for BBC Three. The first episode aired on 22 October 2009 and the show ran for seven episodes as well as a "Best Of" show and a Christmas Special. It went on to become BBC Three's highest ever rating entertainment series.[19][20] In the show, he gave his take on the week's major news stories, as well as giving attention to some of the more light-hearted stories of the week. Two more series of the show were commissioned, with the second series starting on 25 March 2010.[21] A seventh series began on 27 September 2012 on BBC Three. Series 8 began on 25 April 2013 on BBC Three, and series 9 started broadcast in its new home on BBC Two in October 2014.
Russell Howard's Good News was voted the Best Ever BBC Three show on 9 February 2013[22] as part of the channel's 10th birthday celebrations.[23]
Howard made his United States television debut on the 3 August 2011 episode of Conan.
Howard guest-hosted the second episode of the 27th series of Never Mind the Buzzcocks on 30 September 2013.
A show from his 2007 Adventures tour was released on DVD on 17 November 2008,[24] under the title "Russell Howard Live". The show on the DVD was recorded at The Bloomsbury Theatre.[25]
Howard started touring for his show Dingledodies in September 2008 and played various dates through to December. Due to overwhelming demand he further extended the tour twice into 2009. It sold in excess of 125,000 tickets,[26] including three sell-out shows at the Hammersmith Apollo as well as several large arenas such as Wembley Arena and Manchester's MEN Arena. The DVD of this tour was released on 9 November 2009[27] and features a recording of the show from the Brighton Dome.[26]
Howard was named "Best Theatre Show" at the 2009 Chortle Comedy Awards.[28] Howard appeared in UK dates in December 2009 for his "Big Rooms and Belly Laughs" tour.[29] His 2011 sold-out arena tour was titled Right Here Right Now.
It was reported in The Independent that Howard earned £4 million in 2009 alone,[30] which he denies.[31]
On 23 April 2013 Howard confirmed that he would be performing a stand-up tour called Wonderbox starting in February 2014 with dates in Britain, Ireland, the United States, Australia and New Zealand.[32] This was further extended to include more UK dates in December 2014.
In 2013 Howard said that he was writing a film.[33]

Joe Gelata, Director of Demand Generation, Vidyard; Rachel Rosin, Marketing Specialist Demand Generation, Act-On Software
65-90% of the buying process happens before you even know a prospect exists. Which means it's critical for your marketing collateral to help prospects through the process on their own, particularly with video.
If you join us at this webinar, you'll learn:
• The step-by-step process that today's buyer follows before purchase and how video can promote movement through it.
• The types of videos you can produce and where they'll have the most impact in your buyers' journey.
• Ways to approach your own unique buyer's journey and questions to answer before production.
• A real-world example from Act-On of how one video is mapped to the buyer journey and what's considered prior to production.

SparkFun Electronics Comments urn:uuid:214d0e4e-f1b1-d287-ce26-ac5b4c9f8249 2015-04-01T16:37:03-06:00 SparkFun Electronics Customer #609919 on COM-10926 - Schottky Diode Customer #609919 urn:uuid:44c28b78-ec2d-53c6-7d5d-b82b90726d18 2015-02-18T14:25:16-07:00
can I use it with a PWM of 80% duty cycle ? will it keep the PWM signal ? and the power flowing trough it will be only 20 mA and 5v is it ok ? Where can I find an exelent tutorial about diodes and there use ?
 Pneumatic on COM-10926 - Schottky Diode Pneumatic urn:uuid:562b2fae-14e7-a713-b4ce-d6fd354925c5 2014-05-20T10:28:38-06:00
It would be useful to mention in the product description that these are 1N5819 diodes, since the datasheet covers 3 different diodes. Since I'm primarily interested in Vf, and this one has the highest Vf of the 3.
 Customer #453629 on COM-10926 - Schottky Diode Customer #453629 urn:uuid:8b769df1-3ab2-6d53-0b57-d1f6c5262d02 2013-07-11T23:35:48-06:00
1A isn't a lot. I need a diode 1.3A , 25VDC, low Vf for use with a small solar panel. I found VSB15L45-M3/54, a 15A, 45VDC Schottky diode, axial mount (SMD is ruling the world increasingly ;-( ) by Vishay, but nobody stocks it, or will order less than 1000 of 'em.
 Any suggestions?

(I'd suggest Spark sell 'em because they'll cover LOTS of jobs and have a handy form for projects)
 Customer #285920 on COM-10926 - Schottky Diode Customer #285920 urn:uuid:464682cb-900f-1f11-9bc5-9da1d0205db3 2012-10-03T14:51:43-06:00
It helps me to remember the function of Schottky diodes by always calling them Schottky Flyback diodes. These are also known as inductive spike snubbers on the activation coil of relays.

At 100 units for $12, this is cheaper than Digikey. :)

You could probably use the 1n4001 if you are doing something in Eagle, because these two parts are really about the exact same size, but this is the 1N5819 Shottky Diode, it has less forward voltage drop and is capable of switching at a much faster rate than your standard run of the mill rectifier diodes.
 Maxwellfire on COM-10926 - Schottky Diode Maxwellfire urn:uuid:bb57ca4d-8e19-3c8f-3577-92a5f9ef905c 2012-07-20T13:18:21-06:00
is it the 1n4001?

what part on Sparkfun's eagle library should i use?

Love it how the pic is all bent and worn :)

It wasn't supposed to be javascript, something weird happened. It's fixed now.

The link to the datasheet doesn't work. I've never understood why people use javascript to link to pages or files either.

This I Believe Rhode Island: Nature
By Cara Murray
As we race around in our lives, between hither and yon, and between our mundane daily tasks and life's occasional crises, how many of us notice, really notice nature's creatures and its other assorted bounty that cross our paths - the flowers, the birds, the insects, even the neighbor's pet? Cara Murray certainly notices, and she has her own very special way of showing it, as we hear in this encore essay.
When she recorded this essay, Cara Murray was a graduate of Brown University pursuing a Master of Arts in Marine Affairs at the University of Rhode Island. She is a former dancer and, as she reports, an emerging writer.
