Mentor Graphics Introduces Multimedia Solution for Nucleus OS and Inflexion Platform
WILSONVILLE, Ore., September 19, 2007 - Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the launch of the Inflexion Platform ™ Multimedia Feature Pack for Nucleus® OS, a new paradigm for manufacturers of mass market consumer electronic devices to bring advanced audio and video capabilities to their products.
Inflexion Platform UI, launched in December 2006, enables the agile creation and customization of visually compelling, easy to use interfaces for consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones, personal media players and set-top boxes. Completely new designs can be realized without modification to a device's software stack.
Inflexion Platform Multimedia Feature Pack extends this capability, enabling rich audio and video content to be incorporated easily throughout a device's interface, without the need for programming or scripting. Example applications include: previews for premium downloadable content (e.g. music videos); animated advertisements; 'live' application icons; embedded context-sensitive audio/video help content; and full-screen streaming video playback.
To ensure maximum interoperability, Inflexion Platform Multimedia Feature Pack implements the new OpenMAX™ industry standard API. This means that any OpenMAX-compliant multimedia component--including audio and video codecs--can be integrated with minimal effort, including those which take advantage of accelerated graphics hardware.
"OpenMAX has wide industry support, enabling the rapid and flexible deployment of streaming media acceleration on a wide range of silicon platforms and operating systems," commented Neil Trevett, president of the Khronos Group. "Mentor Graphics' announcement today is truly significant as it enables embedded developers to take advantage of the full power of OpenMAX across the wide range of embedded platforms that use Nucleus OS."
"Nucleus OS has established itself as the preferred operating system for mass market consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones. Inflexion Platform enables these manufacturers to bring compelling products to market in less time," said Neil Henderson, general manager for the Embedded Systems Division of Mentor Graphics. "With the launch of the Multimedia Feature Pack, Nucleus OS customers can now deliver high-end multimedia experiences on mass market embedded platforms."

Full description for Lives: v. 7
Plutarch (Plutarchus), ca. 45120 CE, was born at Chaeronea in Boeotia in central Greece, studied philosophy at Athens, and, after coming to Rome as a teacher in philosophy, was given consular rank by the emperor Trajan and a procuratorship in Greece by Hadrian. He was married and the father of one daughter and four sons. He appears as a man of kindly character and independent thought, studious and learned. Plutarch wrote on many subjects. Most popular have always been the 46 "Parallel Lives," biographies planned to be ethical examples in pairs (in each pair, one Greek figure and one similar Roman), though the last four lives are single. All are invaluable sources of our knowledge of the lives and characters of Greek and Roman statesmen, soldiers and orators. Plutarch's many other varied extant works, about 60 in number, are known as "Moralia" or Moral Essays. They are of high literary value, besides being of great use to people interested in philosophy, ethics and religion. The Loeb Classical Library edition of the "Lives" is in eleven volumes.

A study conducted by Oceana from 2010 to 2012 uncovered high levels of seafood fraud, with one in three seafood samples nationwide mislabeled.
Austin and Houston were number two on the list of places with the most mislabeling.
The study discovered snapper was mislabeled nationally 87 percent of the time. Tuna was also commonly mislabeled, in over half the national samples.
Under U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines, some labeling changes are allowed. However, the mislabeling found during testing by Oceana did not follow these guidelines.
The study looked only at retail outlets, specifically grocery stores, restaurants and sushi venues. Of those, grocery stores labels were most accurate with less than one in five incorrectly labeled fish.
The places with the most mislabeling:
- Southern California - 52%
- Austin/Houston - 49%
- New York City - 39%
- Northern California, Miami (tied) - 38%
- Denver - 36%

A Geographic Information System/Spatial Information Management (GIS) is a collection of software and geographic data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. In a conservative sense, it is a computer system that is capable of integrating, storing, editing, analyzing, sharing, and displaying geographically referenced information. In a more generic sense, GIS is a tool that allows users to create interactive queries (user-created searches), analyze the spatial information, edit data and maps, and present the results of all these operations.
GIS, as an information integration tool, has a wide range of application. The possibility of integrating spatial and alphanumeric data has made it widely applicable to a variety of fields. Recently, there has been a growing interest

15 new things you never knew you needed
SEMA 2011 was another successful event for the automotive aftermarket with nearly 2,000 new products being introduced from countless companies trying to invent the next big thing. We walked the endless miles of aisles to touch, feel, and smell as many of these products as possible and have narrowed our list of favorites down to the 15 cool, interesting, and noteworthy products you see here.
Power Player
For those of you who have ever been caught with your soft top down, Rugged Ridge is now offering the electric Power Top for the Jeep Wrangler JK. With the Power Top, there is no more struggling to get your soft top up when the occasional thunderstorm catches you off guard. The patent pending design allows the top to be lowered or raised in seconds with the simple push of a button. The Power Top kit fits all four-door Wranglers and comes complete with a sailcloth top, 30-mil, 31-percent tinted windows, power top frame, hydraulics, wiring harness and installation packet. Professional installation is recommended, but a skilled do-it-yourselfer can also install it and no special tools are required. Estimated install time for a professional installer is approximately 5 hours and the warranty is good for three years.

Gun Show
Dick Cepek Tires & Wheels introduced its new Gun Metal 7 wheel, a machined aluminum wheel with a seven-spoke design for newer trucks and SUVs that require a higher offset, additional brake caliper clearance, and the ability to reuse the factory TPMS sensors. The wheel also features a tough satin clearcoat that provides a layer of UV protection for superior durability and ease of care, even in harsh climates.

Stout 44
TeraFlex, continuing its push to be your one-stop shop for Jeep products, announced the Tera44. The manufacturer of TeraFlex suspensions, body protection equipment, low range gearing, and HD axles, developed the Tera44 to replace bent, broken, or damaged front axles in Rubicon vehicles. This replacement axle can also be used as an axle upgrade for non-Rubicon JKs. The Tera44 includes a heavy-duty Tera44 ductile cast-iron housing with a smooth radius bottom design, an asymmetric housing design for long tube side strength, 3.25x0.25-inch axletubes to resist bending and torsion with minimal weight increase, inner seals, axle bracketry, and outer knuckles. Simply transfer your existing internal components (including factory Rubicon locker), outer knuckle assembly, and brakes to the new housing. A one year, unlimited mileage "No Excuses" warranty should seal the deal.

Plug and Play
For those who are tired of unreliable trailer connections, EZ Connector has a product that will make all your trailer connection headaches disappear. The EZ Connector is an electrical connection system that ensures trouble-free operation, regardless of the conditions. The waterproof connector is sealed with O-rings, attaches magnetically, uses spring-loaded face-to-face contacts, and has a no-fail breakaway feature.

Go Synthetic
Warn Industries is now offering several of its popular winch models with the company's new Warn Spydura synthetic rope. The Warn 9.5cti-s, 9.5xp-s, M8000-s, VR10000-s, and VR8000-s winches will come directly from the factory with 100 feet of 3/8-inch rope, eliminating the need to replace the wire rope with synthetic. Spydura synthetic rope is a high-tech, lightweight, easy-to-handle alternative to steel rope. Made from ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene, it is coated with black urethane for increased UV and chemical resistance. It includes a high-temperature-resistant sleeve on the first layer, and a unique self-tightening rope attachment to hold the rope securely on the winch drum. Additionally, the rope has a sliding ballistic nylon sleeve to provide extra protection against abrasion and wear. For those who already own a Warn winch with wire rope, Warn Spydura synthetic rope can be purchased separately and installed on any Warn truck/SUV winch with a pulling capacity of 10,000 pounds or less. Those who purchase the rope separately will also want to get the Warn polished aluminum Hawse fairlead.

Proper Charge
Not all chargers are an appropriate option for AGM Batteries, so Optima has taken the guesswork out of choosing what charger to use by adding the Optima Chargers Digital 1200 Battery Charger to its product lineup. The Digital 1200 Battery Charger enhances the performance of Optima and other AGM batteries, recovers deeply discharged batteries, and extends battery life. It also features a tri-color LCD display for charging, maintaining, and fault mode indication. With a gauge that displays battery charging and fill rate with charger mode and fault messages, this new charger offers one of the best user interfaces on the market. The Optima Chargers Digital 1200 Battery Charger is optimized when used with high-performance AGM batteries, but has enhanced charging capabilities that can be used with all traditional types of automotive batteries. It also offers USB charging.

Caster Fix
Alterations to radius arm-equipped Ford Super Duty trucks, such as the installation of a suspension lift or leveling kit, can cause the steering pivot axis and tire position to swing resulting in wandering, wobble, pulling, stiff steering, and tire cupping. By installing BD's Cam Caster Adjustor Kit on the radius control arms of the Ford '05-'10 Super Duty pickups, correcting the caster to a more positive angle is made easier and helps to prevent a number of potential steering problems.

Black Box
Looking to haul and store cargo more safely and securely in your Wrangler JK? If so, then you'll be interested in the Mac's Custom Tie Downs' Black Box. Designed for use in any '07+ Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, the Mac's Black Box is made from lightweight aluminum and incorporates a locking drawer, an integral locking floor cover, moveable dividers for modular interior space, Mac's VersaTie tie-down track, removable fittings for even more gear space and a sliding drawer cover to maximize work surface space. To offer double protection against the elements, the interior drawer features a gasket on all sides, so rain and mud will all stay on the outside, where it belongs. The Black Box is easily installed behind the rear seats, utilizing the factory rear seat bolt holes, but because of its innovative tilting design, it still allows access to the factory storage well. The entire storage system, from mounting plate to powdercoated drawer unit can be installed in 15 minutes without any drilling, allowing for easy removal if desired.

Where have you gone, Ben Walker?
Creighton needs a hero. A leader. A basket. A stop. A little clutch.
The Jays could use a little of that Walker and Ryan Sears spirit. Back in 2001, the last time CU won an outright Valley title, Sears and Walker put the team on their backs. The Jays were 5-4 in the Valley on Jan. 24. Then they won nine straight games.
They did it with the help of some Walker attitude. One game, a Missouri State player was talking trash, getting in Walker's face during warmups. As the players shook hands before the opening tip, Walker found the MSU yapper, shook his hand and wouldn't let go. He proceeded to tell the guy in language that I can't print what he was going to do to him. And then he went out and did it.
This Creighton team, so talented and so anointed and now wobbling into the danger zone, could use something. Gumption. Fight. Soul. A deep breath. Maybe a break.
Dare I say, heart?
I know right where to find it.
Lo and behold, Josh Jones wasn't hard to find on Tuesday. As the Jays prepared to practice for Wednesday night's fairly large Northern Iowa game, Jones was out on the CenturyLink Center court, joshing with his boys, flashing his neon smile, chucking up some 3-pointers and daring someone to come guard him.
"I don't know how to elevate like I used to," said Jones as a long attempt clanged off the rim. "You know why? I need a hand in my face."
There it is. Perfect. The mantra for the rest of CU's season: can't perform unless there's a hand in your face.
Jones has had more than a hand in his grill. In the last seven weeks, he had an episode and passed out before the Nebraska game, had two heart surgeries and retired from the game.
The cruelest irony of all is that the biggest heart on the Creighton team has a flaw, one so devastating that it's not worth the risk for Jones to play again. Because it might be the last thing he does.
But oh, what the Omaha kid wouldn't do to suit up once more, hear the crowd, feel the pressure, and the joy, of taking the last shot. The joy is in the pressure.
Ben Walker ruled his team with a hammer. Jones might just be able to do it from the sideline, with his heart, if his boys are paying attention to the message.
"I want these guys to get back to having fun," Jones said. "They need to cherish the opportunity, what they have now, it means so much. It won't be there forever.
"There are people like me who wish they had that opportunity. So whenever you think about giving up, thinking it's too hard, thinking it can only get worse, think about people like me who would actually die for the opportunity to be out there.
"And in my case, that's true. Because if I went out there, there's a good chance I could die."
This isn't about win one for the Josher. But Jones' message is clear enough: Show some urgency, Jays. Seize the moment while it's there.
Creighton is off-kilter. It's a long year. It happens. And sure, there are plenty of teams who would love to be 20-5 on Feb. 13. And yes, this Creighton season was always going to be judged by how it finished, not the middle.
The Jays have big-boy goals without the big-boy margin for error. They play in a world where league losses are considered bad losses, not acceptable ones. A couple more league losses and the Jays will be in a bad place and this will look like another typical Creighton season, on the edge, St. Louis or bust.
Jones wants to remind them that this is still the same team that beat Wisconsin, Arizona State, St. Joe's and Cal. And yet, it's not. Somebody's missing. When the shots fall, CU has a lot of answers. When they aren't, they run out of answers. They look lost. Soft. The energy leaves. Maybe a little faith, too, when Doug McDermott gets smothered.
Hmm. Maybe No. 5 was more than just a ball of energy who would take your breath with a flurry of 3s and make you shake your head with a forced mistake. Maybe he was one of the most important cogs in this machine.
Maybe Jones was the leader of the band. The heart, if you will.
|Join the conversation on the Bluejays Today Facebook page.
"College basketball is a marathon," said CU Athletic Director Bruce Rasmussen. "And I don't care if you're KU or Duke, you're fragile. One piece, a Josh Jones, can change everything. The things he brought to the game, we miss that."
Who knew? He did.
"I think it's fair to say the guys miss me," Jones said. "It has been hard to watch because I know my capabilities, I know I inflicted that something, that spark, that difference, every time I played. I had a great relationship with Gregory (Echenique). I tried to get him the ball.
"There were other things, too. You have to take risks. I was a risk taker, but I learned what I couldn't do. The guys need to get back to that. Nevin Johnson took a 3 last time, a quick 3, it was contested. But it told me he was willing to take a risk to help the team.
"In order to succeed, you can't be afraid to fail."
The roles on the bench have changed with Jones out, and some haven't been ready or able to give what he did, "that spark, that difference." He was always a backstop in that way, with his optimistic, no-fear game. Good play or bad, Jones played with an undeniable faith.
"Now they have to dig in, on defense, everywhere," Jones said. "Everyone has to be all-in. All 14 guys can see the problem. What guys are going to work hard to fill those voids, and solve those problems?"
Problems? Jones can tell them about problems.
"When adversity hits, you can't worry about outsiders or point fingers," Jones said. "You have to believe. I firmly believe everything happens for a reason. With my adversity, I went to battle with my Bluejay Nation and my family. They were my crutch, they had my back. With them, I'm able to win the battle and we're going to win the war."
Jones drew a comparison from Creighton to his alma mater, Omaha Central, which lost two important games in recent weeks but bounced back with a win last week that erased all the bad memories and put the Eagles back on track to the state tourney, which will define their season. Jones says CU was going to be defined by the NCAA tournament. Of course, it has to get there first.
"It's not how you start, it's how you finish," Jones said. "That's how I live my life every day."
There's a lesson in there, from the leader on the bench. He's got a hand in his face, a smile on his face, and he's not afraid to chuck it up again.

I mean if you have an interesting of story of how you found them. My way was probably not the usual way people find them. I found them when i was listening to my sister i pod. there was at least 250 song on it. and only one train song. it was drops of jupiter. when i was on song like 140 i would be singing an adele song and them i would just start singing doj. one day i told myself i had to find the man that wrote this song. i did. and now im here :) so if you have an interesting story of finding train id like to hear. i love to hear stories like that!
Views: 680
that is a great story! I loved it! My dad told me that when i said i liked train he was like oh just another kid thing. all of them have it. It will pass in a few weeks....5 months later i asked him if he would like to go to the Fillmore with me and see train. He was surpised at what i knew about music. A while ago me and him didnt have much in common. I still see him every other week but before train seeing him was just another thing to do. sometimes it was hard to make conversation. Then i got him into train and going there isnt so hard. They brought us together. I thought that was awesome how people could do that. Ive showed him soooo much stuff ive known i just havent said it because i had no reason to. I never really thought of that but i guess thats another reason i love train soo much.
My story is not very interesting at all.....just discovered them on the radio, first meet virginina, and then drops of jupiter! But it was the "catch" in meet virginia that made me love that song and take an interest in the band....at the end when he says "I cant wait to meet virginia", and then realizing he is not talking about a girl he already knows, hes talking about his dream girl.....and in Drops of Jupiter, the "did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there"....I always thought "aha! Thats his REAL question, right there".....I dont know, for some reason, those 2 parts of those 2 songs had me hooked on Train!......Then I went to see them in some Christmas music festival in Baltimore (alannis morisett was also there, as well as some others) and it was my first time "seeing" the guys, and I fell in love!
well the first train song i heard was hey, soul sister but didn't really think much of it. i thought it was good but i wasn't all that fussed. but then a friend who loves train got me to listen to her favourite songs; marry me, and drops of jupiter. after that i went on youtube and listened to a few other songs and since then loved them :)
Well, for me it was not so long ago - as far as i look at dates. But it feels like i've been listening to train for ages. Always with me, good or bad day.
Started somewhere around Christmas 20111 when i heard Shake up Christmas. And it got me tuned for good. Tuned to Train. STarted with SMSF and Drops albums, and then started my travel back to older tracks. Amazed with Pat voice. Found such a plenty of really great music. Was absolutely down by Train approach to fan they meet. Love so many colours of Train music. Love the old ones and the new ones. It got me for good.
Ordinary???? Story - yes, Train music, no. Nothing but ordinary :)
btw one of my favourites :)
Mine is Interesting too, I was in England Talking on the phone to a good friend of mine in the USA. it was the summer time and his neighbour was playing music the song was calling all Angels i asked him to ask the guy to turn it up he did and i fell in love. I went out the next day and bought their cd. Its 9 years later i now live in The USA and i am going to meet Train on August 8th in Cincinnati Ohio.
that is a really cool story i hope you enjoy meeting them! ive always wanted to
My story is interesting too! I live in El Salvador, Central America. Train became popular here last year because of "Hey Soul Sister". However, I've been a Train fan since 2005. I was studying at the University to become a teacher and I remember that in a particular class each student had to use a song to carry out a dynamic. My teacher was the first to do it just to give an example and the song he used was "Drops of Jupiter" by this totally unknown band Train. I completely loved it!! My teacher had spent some time in the US studying a master's degree and he had the chance to buy the Drops of Jupiter album. When he returned to El Salvador, he couldn't help using Train's songs in his classes. But well, my story doesn't stop there. I liked the song but that was it. I was not into Train yet! Some weeks later, I was using a computer in an Internet cafe and I was bored so I played the music there was on the computer. I didn't know any of the songs, but I didn't want to continue working silently so I played the first. It was "Ordinary". The song was so amazing that I looked up information about it and found out it was part of the soundtrack of Spiderman 2. And guess what?? I realized it was a song by Train too! Then I said "They seem to have very good music." After that, I found "Meet Virginia" and that was when I fell in love!! Now I have 90 songs by Train. I became a Train pioneer here in my country because I became an English teacher and every time I had to use music in my classroom, I would use a Train song and my students would like it even if the band was unknown to them. When Hey soul sister became a hit here, it was a surprise for my students to realize they had already heard others songs by the same band. I've been a Train fan for 7 years now and I'm planning to be in Charlotte to enjoy Train's concert on July 26. I hope I can meet the band. I think I deserve it considering my loyalty xD
Cool stories i love them all!

I really cant wait, i still cant beleive i have meet anf greet tickets. i hope you get to meet them to one day. thank you for the nice comment. :)
A very important friend, my anam cara, gave me My Private Nation, because "Calling All Angels" reminded him of me. I have been a loyal fan ever since. I try to catch at least two shows of every tour. Keep up the good work guys! Thank you for sharing your talent and your lives with us. And thanks to your families, who sacrifice while you are on the road for our enjoyment!
My story is kinda weird. I was watching the latest episode of 90210 a month or so back. Train was playing their new song drive by. I wasn't much of a fan back then but when i heard drive by I kept rewinding that scene to listen to it again and again. I recognized them cause i had listened to their Hey Soul Sister long back. After watching that show I made it a point to download that song and while I was doing that I also listened to Save me San Francisco and many more of their hits. Ever since then I've been a Hardcore Train fan.

Good hearing from you Savior...
my new paint job and new pieces make me feel many million parsecs newer...
but...let's remember it is your removal of my "gangsta lean" that fueled my renewal.

I was one busy Astromech on Saturday...
seems for the entire day I was being taken apart, put together, riding in the transport or rattling around these edifaces that appeared to store the collective knowledge of the planet.
Speaking of transports...it would seem that the maker was having trouble with her tranport. At times, as she was at hyperspeed, the front end of the transport would shake violently and I was getting tossed around the back. As she pulled out of the spacelane I asked her if I should take a look at the transport, I am, after all...and Astromech. But she said we were on an important mission and there was no time for spacelane repairs, so we kept it under hyperspeed.
At any rate, in the morning we were in the Braidwood galaxy for "Star Wars Reads" day. As always, the sentients were glad to see me and I met a lot of new friends...
but best of all..
the Princess was there!
I am always happy to be on a mission when I can assist Princess Leia (I hear she now uses the alias "Janine" a lot when she is undercover on missions).
After the Braidwood mission, we loaded up and headed for the Plainfield galaxy for another Star Wars Reads mission.
WOW! Was there a lot of sentients at this mission!
The Princess was also on this mission but Captain Rex was muscling in on my time with the Princess...and I found out what Darth Vader looked like when he was really young..
There was also a Jawa present...and Jawas always make me nervous...
but a good time was had by all...
I made it home in one piece and had no pieces missing...and my voice and lights worked properly all day..
..always a good thing.
I have discovered that the maker is just a bit more careful with me since she took me all apart and re-painted me.

The maker says her transport is now fixed...
and without my assistance...
who knew?
Apparently the steering dampner went out and the front end was going "nuts" as she put it......where she was grumbling about having to spend credits to get it fixed...she did recognize the fact that the original dampner lasted over 215,000 miles and she did make it to both Star Wars Reads events as she intended.

Another exciting day!
The maker brought me back to the Milwaukee Galaxy for a mission to the Discovery Center. I had been there in the earth year 2010, but the maker left me home last year as she had to bring a lot of other stuff. This year, however, a lot of the other "stuff" had to be left home to make room for me....thankfully this year she remembered that it is all about me.
I was stationed at the door where the uniformed members walked in so I had a wonderful vantage point for the whole day. Princess Leia was there again...always a good day when the Princess is there, but sadly, the maker got no photos of me with the Princess today. Also, I did recognize one of my former owners Handmaidens there also...I tried to get her attention but the other Princess (Dee is the name that the Handmaiden is using in this galaxy) was very busy....very important matters for the Rebellion.
I also ran into Chewbacca, Toryn Farr (but she was acting as a double for Princess Leia on Endor), Captain Rex, Wedge Antilles (he is now commanding this rag-tag bunch of Rebels), Boushh and even one of our Y-Wing pilots. Where I missed seeing the savior...I did get a chance to hang out with the Master Builder (Darryl) for a while and his offspring watched over me for much of the day as the maker was also very busy with business for the Rebellion. It was so good to see some of the old familiar faces from my life of years ago when I wandered the galaxy far, far away.
The maker didn't get any photos of me with all of the new sentients I met, but did get a few photos of me hanging out with my peeps.
When I first got there, I hung out and discussed many matters with Paul's R2 Unit...he is very smart....
and there were a few of my droid friends in line with us that are still under construction.
Later, the Master Builder arrived with my best buddy R2 S5 - always good to see S5 ....and S5 brought along his good buddy who is called "Chippy". Chippy is a black Astromech.
We discussed many things about how the galaxy has changed and, of course, we greeted all of the sentients who passed by. I had a very large stack of my trading cards with me and they were all gone by the time the maker and Princess Leia (wearing a disguise called "street clothes"...but I knew it was her) packed me up in the transport.
I had another wonderful day! It is always good to get out...even though the maker sometimes refers to it as a pain in a particular part of her anatomy...

I am officially a Rock Star!!
But....I digress.
The maker took me on a mission to the Wheaton Galaxy yesterday. She said it was most important. It seems that the United States Galactic Marines hold a toy drive every year at this time known as Christmas. The Galactic Marines....or just Marines as the maker informs me...
collect toys to give to younglings that have none under the tree for this occasion known as Christmas.
Helping the Galactic....er Marines was very important to me, so I was on board with this immediatly.
All I can say is WOW! The maker has taken me on a lot of missions, but I don't think I have ever had soooooo many people soooooo excited to see me. All I heard all day was..."there's R2".
I took so many photos I think my light receptors will have to be replaced. All of the people were so kind to me. The younglings were so well behaved that most of them were actually afraid to touch me. The maker assured the younglings that I was strong and very well built and that they were free to give me hugs and check out my construction with the laying of hands.
I met so many new friends and got to hang out with the Marine and exhange stories....
A couple of the very hard working people snuck out of the kitchen of the Tap Cafe at this place called Cantigny for a photo with me...I was happy to have a photo with the workers.
We formed our Rock Band....I like to call it "R2 and The Imperials"....but I am sure that Lord Vader would probably want something like "Vaders Rockers"...but...hey...this is my story...
I met sooooooooooo many new friends!
The maker says I may be going out to the Algonquin Galaxy next Saturday to do bell ringing for the Salvation Army...
I have no idea what that is...
but I have a week to do research ...
provided the Maker gives me access to the computer...

Last night, HBO's new 10-part mini-series "The Pacific" premiered, highlighting the true stories of three Marines serving in World War II. One of those men was Sgt. John Basilone, an Italian American who was killed in Iwo Jima after fighting his way through the Solomon Islands and Guadalcanal.
Played by Jon Seda in "The Pacific," Basilone was the only enlisted Marine in World War II to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross and the Purple Heart. A native of Raritan, N.J., Basilone is immortalized in a bronze monument in the borough. Additionally, Raritan observes Basilone Day every September with a parade and concert.
Much has been written about Basilone's service to his country, and now two new books are delving into his history in time for the renewed interest that "The Pacific" is sure to generate. Both released in the first months of this year, "Hero of the Pacific: The Life of Marine Legend John Basilone" by James Brady and "I'm Staying With My Boys: The Heroic Life of Sgt. John Basilone, USMC" by Jim Proser with Jerry Cutter offer a closer look at Basilone's story. An added bonus: Proser's biography is authorized by the Basilones and featurs a collection of family photographs.
Here at NIAF, we work every day to highlight the accomplishments of our fellow Italian Americans. So, it is with particularly great pride that we announce the recent appointment of NIAF Board Member Anita Bevacqua McBride to two posts of international importance.
Ms. McBride, the former Assistant to President George W. Bush and Chief of Staff to First Lady Laura Bush, was recently named chair of the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, on which she has served since 2009. Additionally, Ms. McBride was one of 24 Americans recently appointed to the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA), which will advise the president through the Secretary of Health and Human Services on domestic and global HIV/AIDS policy issues.
Please join us in congratulating Anita Bevacqua McBride!
Welcome to Tutto NIAF, the National Italian American Foundation's new blog about our mission to preserve and promote the Italian American heritage. In this informal space, we'll bring you up to speed on issues of the day - and give you the chance to respond directly to us!

HRC National Field Director Hits the Streets for Brian Foley
October 26, 2010 by Marty Rouse
The following post comes from National Field Director Marty Rouse: I was born and raised on Long Island. My parents still live there. In fact, they live in Brian Foley's state Senate District. He is the most vulnerable senator up for re-election who voted for the marriage bill last year (the bill which passed the Assembly, but fell short in the Senate by eight votes).Continue Reading ►
Utah's Intermountain Healthcare Extends Benefits for Domestic Partners
October 26, 2010
Intermountain Healthcare (IHC) has decided to extend health care benefits to both same and opposite-sex domestic partners. With 23 hospitals in Utah and southern Idaho and 32,000 employees, IHC is the largest Utah-based employer to extend benefits granted to married couples to domestic partners. Neither the Utah state government nor the Mormon Church, the state's two largest employers, offer such benefits. While not a formal part of the Mormon Church, IHC was established in 1975 when the Church donated its 15-hospital system to IHC to administer.Continue Reading ►
Op-Ed: NOM-Led Iowa Campaign Threatens Judicial Independence Everywhere
October 26, 2010
HRC staff are on the ground in Iowa this week tracking NOM's campaign that threatens judicial independence around the country. NOM is pouring huge resources (we broke the news this morning that they've surpassed the half million dollar mark) into an otherwise sleepy judicial retention race. See, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the state constitution mandated treating same-sex couples equal in marriage. Using mafia tactics, NOM is barnstorming the state on a bus tour encouraging Iowans to vote "no" to retain these judges -- not based on their conduct or qualifications -- but because they don't like one ruling. Obviously it presents a galling affront to the independence of our judicial system. HRC President Joe Solmonese writes about it today in an op-ed in the Huffington Post.Continue Reading ►
HRC Volunteers in Florida Come Out in Record Numbers
October 25, 2010
The following post comes from Regional Field Organizer Jess Osborn: The last couple weeks have been an amazing success for the HRC's volunteer effort. Last week, an HRC phonebank here in Florida had seventeen volunteers come out to dial up HRC members about the upcoming elections. Seventeen! No doubt a record for an HRC Phonebank. The volunteers at this phonebank, and each phonebank we hold here in Florida, are working hard to ensure that people have everything that they need for Election Day, and that they are fully aware of their pro-equality candidates in these elections.Continue Reading ►

If you haven't heard the term "supergroup" in a while, it may be because there aren't many real rock titans left around to clash, much less mesh. But SuperHeavy is here to revive the tradition, with instigators Mick Jagger and Dave Stewart enlisting Joss Stone, Damian Marley, and film composer A.R. Rahman as co-conspirators in the unlikely meeting of musical sensibilities.
The ex-Eurythmic and still-Rolling-Stone talked with Yahoo! Music about the making of the debut album from their new "band," which one magazine aptly described as a "WTF lineup."
Dave Stewart understands, and welcomes, that initial expression of astonishment when the project was first announced just a few months ago. "A lot of times, when people announce supergroups, they are usually from a similar genre of music or background. Even with the Traveling Wilburys—which was recorded at my house, so I was watching them do it—you could see how it fit together, and they weren't too dissimilar in ages. Whereas if you think about this, everything looks peculiar…"Joss just turned 24," continues Stewart, who also produced her recent solo album, "and then you've got somebody from every decade, basically." (The eldest member, Stewart refrains from mentioning, is Jagger, a spry 68.) "And then you've got a fully groomed Jamaican artist, an Indian artist, Joss from Devon in southern England, myself from the border of Scotland in northern England, and Mick from Dartford. It's hard for people to picture it and imagine what it was going to sound like. But then when we made our video for 'Miracle Worker,' and we put up a little video of us in the studio experimenting, I think it started to get easier for people to see.
"No matter what Mick does, he always gets 'Hey, you should be back in the Stones. You shouldn't do anything apart from doing that.' And other people get that when they try and step outside of their norm. But I think this was so far outside of it that everybody was like, 'Okay, what is that?' Or 'WTF,' as you say."
The last time Jagger participated in anything remotely resembling a supergroup, it was Jamming With Edward, which wasn't so much a "project" as an accident that eventually got released, years after it was put down on tape in the late '60s. Naturally, he sees SuperHeavy in a wholly different light from that ancient cult album.
"That was a jam," says Jagger. "The Jamming with Edward thing was basically the Rolling Stones with Ry (Cooder). But none of this was a jam. Of course we did jamming, but we never released that. This was about writing songs, and songs that have beginnings, middles, ends, choruses. We wanted to make songs that you could remember, or could dance to, or were just rather wistful…
"With supergroups in the old days, it was like the most famous bass player, the most famous guitarist, and a good drummer—you know what I mean. This is a more experimental record. When Dave and I talked about what we wanted to achieve by doing it, we were trying to do something that was fun and inventive and as a piece of work would represent a lot of different styles, and yet within that would be meaningful mixtures that would really hang together. And I think on the whole we've managed to achieve that."
Although Jagger emphasizes that SuperHeavy is all about having coherent, compact songs, Stewart makes it clear that the tunes did mostly come together through interplay in the studio—an approach he says made his primary partner slightly nervous.
"It's kind of scary, on one hand," Stewart says. "Mick was going, like, 'Whoa, hang on!' He couldn't believe it, the night before, that we weren't going in with any songs. But what happened was, in the first sort of 90 minutes, a kind of explosion. We had three songs on the go. Besides the (support) musicians in the room, you've got the five of us, and everybody's playing and jamming, and suddenly one of the group members starts doing something and the others start to lock in. That's when you start to realize, 'Oh yeah, I forgot, this is serious stuff.' Because every single member is pretty good at what they do, and it's suddenly like, 'Oh, sh*t, I'm on a racehorse, but a really good one. I better concentrate!'"
A.R. Rahman, the Indian film composer known for his work on 127 Hours and especially Slumdog Millionaire, would be the member you'd figure would have the least experience with group improvisation. And you'd be right.
"Yeah," says Stewart, "at the beginning [Rahman] was like, 'Hang on, how do I…' He said when he was at school, he was in a band, so it kind of reminded him a bit of that. But he hadn't done it in so long. He was used to being in control of making soundscapes and using orchestras and all that stuff. And then towards the end, he was the one most into creating jams and all this kind of [spontaneous] stuff. In fact, he's still doing it now. I keep getting emails. He's in India at the moment, and he's experimenting even more with SuperHeavy tracks."
Jagger admits he wasn't sure how he and Rahman would gel.
"The first thing that he did that I really liked was in the song called 'Unbelievable.' He played the solo. But it was not an Indian instrument, but actually an ancient Persian instrument called the santur, which was really out of left field. I said, 'Wow, I've always liked the music of the santur, but I never thought I'd actually have a santur solo.' The whole thing was kind of fun like that. You never knew quite what was gonna happen."
In the category of Known Quantities, there was Joss Stone. SuperHeavy is, in some small part, an Alfie soundtrack reunion, since Stewart produced a Christmas single that Jagger dueted on with the then-16-year-old Stone for that film back in 2004.
The interaction with Stone here will have fans recalling how effectively Jagger has vocally partnered with female singers over the years, from Merry Clayton (on "Gimme Shelter") to live partners like Tina Turner, Sheryl Crow, and (in the Stones' last concert movie) Christina Aguilera.
Trading verses with Bob Marley's son, meanwhile can't help but remind fans of "Don't Look Back," Jagger's popular late-'70s duet with Jimmy Cliff, or some of the Stones' own reggae-fied tunes.
"I'm very at home in that idiom," Jagger affirms. "And we did another song on there—it's one of the bonus tracks ['Common Ground,' on the deluxe edition]—which is more in a soka idiom rather than a reggae idiom. You would have thought that came from Damian, but actually it really came from Dave and me, initially. And even on the ballad that Joss and I do ['I Don't Mind'], because we had a Jamaican rhythm section, it gave it a slightly different lilt than it would have had if we'd had a rock drummer or one of our L.A. friends drumming."
This is the third release Stewart has been involved with in the course of just a few short months. First, there was his own solo project; then, the solo album he produced for Stone, which was made in-between the SuperHeavy sessions; and, obviously, SuperHeavy. Ironically, of these three albums, the one that actually has a Rolling Stone on it is the only one that doesn't sound particularly Stones-y.
"I'm a bit of a catalyst," Stewart says, explaining his favorite collaborative role. "Also, I'm able to wander across genres. Even in the Eurythmics, people would go 'Well, you're from an electronic background. And I'm like, 'Well, not really.' Because I was brought up in the northeast of England learning blues music from my cousin's records, who was sent from Memphis.
"And Eurythmics was a bit of a Trojan horse, because we started off with 'Sweet Dreams,' but actually that song is not too dissimilar to [Adele's] 'Rolling in the Deep' or something. We were singing kind of a blues melody on top of electronic stuff. Very soon we hit with 'Here Comes the Rain,' which was a big Gretsch guitar and orchestration, and then we were rolling out soul/R&B with guitars and horn sections with 'Would I Lie to You' and 'Missionary Man' and 'Sisters are Doing It for Themselves.'"
Eventually, as Stewart says, we all figured out just how traditional the Eurythmics really were. But will the masses be able to hear the pop hooks on SuperHeavy through all the cross-cultural trappings?
That remains to be seen, but don't expect a big tour to support the project. And that's not necessarily because it would conflict with a Rolling Stones tour.
Jagger and all his fellow bandmates were recently seen coming out of a London office, lending support to speculation that the band will hit the road again next year. We couldn't help asking: Are we more likely to see him on stage with SuperHeavy or the Stones?
"Or maybe it'll be nothing," he says, breaking into a hearty laugh. "Probably it'll be nothing at all! No, I never wanted to do the SuperHeavy 100-city tour. It doesn't really appeal to me, and I don't think it appeals to Dave. But if there was some special show [to do] in some different kind of way, we'd always want to do that…
"And as for the Stones," Jagger adds, "I don't really know what the Stones are going to do next year, or indeed any other year. But we've got the 50th anniversary coming up. I'm sure that there'll be all kinds of Stones-related things [in 2012], and everyone will be harshly bored with it by the end of the year!"
That very last prospect, anyway, is SuperUnlikely.
- Mick Jagger
- Dave Stewart
- Joss Stone

WESTERN SAN JUANS – The U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee voted this week to support the beleaguered San Juan Mountains Wilderness Bill, which was re-introduced by Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) in February 2013.
It is Udall's third attempt to push through the legislation, which seeks to federally preserve more than 61,000 acres of public land in San Miguel, Ouray and San Juan counties, through Wilderness and other designations.
The bill was originally sponsored in the House by John Salazar and in the Senate by Udall in 2009, but failed to pass Congress the first time around. Udall and fellow Democratic Senator Michael Bennet then teamed up to reintroduce the legislation in the Senate in September 2011.
It has not gained significant traction thus far, largely due to lack of companion legislation in the House. Opponents include many from the local mining industry, and those who link the Wilderness proposal to Agenda 21, a United Nations program promoting sustainable development that Tea Party activists associate with socialism and extreme environmentalism.
Udall, however, remains undeterred in his enthusiasm for the Wilderness bill. Testifying in April to fellow members of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources' Public Lands, Forests and Mining Subcommittee, he emphasized the by-now familiar themes in his years-long quest to advance the legislation, including the bill's grassroots origins and potential economic and environmental benefits to the region.
His comments to the ENR Committee on Tuesday, June 18 followed a similar vein.
"Today's vote in favor of the San Juan Mountains Wilderness Act is a victory for local residents, businesses and leaders who have told me for years that Colorado's scenic mountains and open spaces support homegrown jobs and our thriving outdoor recreation economy," he said. "I plan to keep fighting for the people of San Miguel, Ouray and San Juan counties, but I am glad the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee endorsed this grassroots bill."
Udall is also working with residents of Chaffe County to develop legislation to create a Browns Canyon National Monument, and recently joined with Congressman Scott Tipton (R-Colo.) to help Mesa County leaders draft legislation to re-designate the Colorado National Monument as a national park.
Tipton and Udall, along with Bennet, are also co-sponsoring the Hermosa Watershed Protection Act legislation to protect the Hermosa Creek watershed, north and west of Durango. This community-designed legislation seeks to protect more than 100,000 acres of the Hermosa Creek watershed with various designations including approximately 38,000 of Wilderness.
The immediate fate of the San Juan Mountains Wilderness Bill, meanwhile, appears to lie largely in Tipton's hands, as Wilderness supporters across the region continue to urge him to sponsor companion legislation in the House. Thus far, he appears unlikely to do so, although he did indicate he is open to more talks on the matter, when he held a Town Hall meeting with constituents in Ouray earlier this month at which the San Juan Mountains Wilderness Bill was a major topic of discussion.

For months, Newtown residents and well-wishers alike have wondered who will receive the nearly $10 million in donations sent to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund from around the world.
Now three Newtown residents are among those tapped to make the call. They're among the Board of Directors of the Newtown-Sandy Hook Community Foundation, set up to oversee distribution of funds raised by the venture, a joint effort of Newtown Savings Bank and the United Way of Western Connecticut.
Members include:
- Monsignor Robert Weiss of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church
- Former Newtown Finance Director Benjamin Spragg
- Newtown Attorney Anne Ragusa
- Joseph DiCandido, President of Nutek Aerospace Corp. in New Milford
- Danbury Hospital Psychiatry Chair Dr. Charles R. Herrick
Newtown Selectman Will Rodgers chaired the transition team to develop the foundation, whose advisers included former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman. Lieberman will continue serving as a an unpaid adviser to the foundation.
"I think we did a great job integrating the information we gathered from other national tragedy sites with recommendations from the local community, which will properly position the Foundation to make educated spending decisions," he said. "We acted quickly and were cognizant of ongoing developments in Newtown as we formed the Foundation and recruited well-respected Directors, so that the Foundation can begin its work to assist the community on a long road to recovery."
The Sandy Hook School Support Fund is expected to gain additional visibility during the Daytona 500, when racing star Michael Waltrip will drive a car emblazoned with the number 26 and information on donating to the fund. Rodgers told the Danbury News-Times he expects a fundraising kick after the Daytona 500.

Staff-recommended viewing from the KPL catalog.
Can a film be at once a tender, macabre, oddball slice of campy surrealism with a heart? Few have treaded these idiosyncratic waters of exotic eccentricity better than Canadian filmmaker Guy Maddin. Brand upon the Brain, his feature film from 2008 represents Maddin at his most mainstream, which is not to suggest that the film is going to be embraced by more than a few devotees. But if you're willing to open your mind up to Maddin's semi-autobiographical story about a lighthouse that serves as both an orphanage and the setting for mad, scientific experiments, you'll be rewarded with an enchanting tale of bold, cinematic weirdness.

Apple Cranberry Cobbler
(Family Features) As guests descend on your holiday party, are you prepared for the growing list of food allergies, dietary demands and menu requirements? For instance, the number of people eating gluten-free has grown to more than 20 million households, so it's likely that you will receive a gluten-free RSVP. By relying on a few simple changes and substitutions, hosts can feel good about serving delicious and festive dishes everyone will love.
First, gluten-free breads and other products have come a long way in the past several years, making them delicious enough for everyone to enjoy. By finding a gluten-free baguette for appetizers or dinner rolls for family meals, no one will have to worry about separate foods. This makes hosting simpler and removes the guesswork for gluten-free guests, so everyone can enjoy each other's company and savor this festive time of year.
Celebrity chef and author of the New York Times best seller "Now Eat This! Italian," Rocco DiSpirito, uses this strategy in his dishes. "Bringing people together at the table is one of the great joys of being a chef. But finding delicious options that are safe for everyone at the table is often a challenge. When you do, there's a greater sense of community and connection," DiSpirito said. "I like Udi's Gluten Free because they taste like the real thing, so no one notices the difference."
When planning a holiday menu, here are some other useful tips for less stress and more celebration this season:
And, try this recipe for Apple Cranberry Cobbler, which is completely gluten-free. The naturally sweet fruit pairs perfectly with a golden brown biscuit topping made from Udi's Gluten Free blueberry muffins. More recipes for entertaining during the holidays - and anytime - are available at www.udisglutenfree.com.

Nearly 50 percent of Palm Beach County mortgages underwater or almost thereby Kim Miller
CoreLogic's first quarter report on negative equity shows 43 percent of Palm Beach County mortgages are underwater while another 4 percent are nearing negative equity.
Both numbers are down slightly from the end of 2010 when 44 percent of Palm Beach County mortgages were in negative equity with another 3.9 percent nearing negative equity.
See how Florida compares here.
Negative equity, which means the home is worth less than the outstanding balance on the mortgage is often referred to as being underwater or upside down.
Statewide, 46 percent of Florida home loans are underwater and another 4 percent close to being underwater.
That ranks Florida third nationally, with Nevada taking the top spot and Arizona coming in second.
"Many borrowers in negative equity are still able and willing to make their mortgage payments. Those in negative equity and impacted by an income shock of some kind, such as a job loss, divorce, or death, are much more likely to be at risk of foreclosure or a short sale. The current economic indicators point to slow yet positive economic growth, which will slowly reduce the risk of borrowers experiencing income shocks," said Mark Fleming, chief economist with CoreLogic. "Yet the existence of negative equity for the foreseeable future will weigh on the housing market recovery by holding back sale and refinance activity."

There was supposed to be a small army of volunteers to help plant American flags at the Gloucester County Veterans' Cemetery Friday.
But that army apparently surrendered to a cold, steady rain and brisk winds.
Butch Kammer and his fellow cemetery workers did not wait for reinforcements.
"Rain don't stop anything," he told FOX 29's Bruce Gordon. "They never stopped a war, or any kind of fighting. They kept right on going."
Kammer is a 69-year-old retired letter carrier who spent three years in the Army in the 1960s. He served in Korea, and never forgot the experience.
"I'm a veteran myself," he says, "and I'm proud of what this cemetery stands for."
Now, he works full-time maintaining the grounds at a facility set up nearly a decade ago as a final resting place for local men and women who've served their country.
On this day, the assignment is the placement of 1,500 flags in front of gravestones that remind us of the times and places and circumstances under which Americans fought and died.
Kammer, like the others, was cold and wet, but determined.
"The men and women that are buried here deserve it," he said.
Gloucester County Freeholder Joe Chila showed up to dig holes for the flags. Monotonous work, until you spot a special stone denoting the grave of a local kid who made the ultimate sacrifice.
"I just saw D.J. Bentz is buried over here," said Chila. "Killed in Iraq the first year (2007) that I was a freeholder. So, to stop for a second and, there's DJ. And this is what he did for our country. And he's here."
On Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m., Kammer, his fellow veterans and their families will be back at the cemetery for a special Memorial Day ceremony. There'll be a wreath laying, and rifle salute and taps, all of the ways we honor our veterans on special holidays.
Kammer says he gets angry when folks forget the sacrifice made by those lying beneath this ground.
And so, on this weekend at least, he said, "We're going to make sure our veterans here in Gloucester County get what's owed them."
It's a debt that cannot be fully repaid, but should never be ignored.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

For other calendars, see New Year. For other posts sticking with the same names, see New Year (disambiguation).In the Gregorian calendar, New Years Eve, the final days the entire year, is actually on December 31.In several nations around the world, Fresh Seasons Event is widely known from night time interpersonal gatherings, where lots of people dance, take in, beverage alcohol consumption, and watch or perhaps mild fireworks in order to indicate the new year. Many people go to any watch night support. The get-togethers usually continue earlier midnight into January 1.
